Chapter 59 Night Attack on Walnut

......

At night, the Hall of Rebirth.

Yixi skillfully jumped to the second floor of the Hall of Rebirth, opened Zhongli's window and... huh? Locked?

Well, well, it shows that you have a strong sense of security, but it's too much for a gentleman to be on guard.

What should I do...

Well, it's not a bad idea to change the place occasionally.

Then Yixi came to Hutao's boudoir window and climbed in.

"Eh? Yixi? Why are you here?"

In the room, Hutao, who had been busy all day, was ready to rest, and then saw that the window was inexplicably opened, and then Yixi climbed in.

Yixi fell to the ground and was silent with Hutao who was changing clothes. She came at the wrong time... It was really the wrong time:

"Oh, I missed you, my lovely Hutao, so I came to see you."

Hutao blushed and put on Yixi's black short-sleeved shirt with a golden dragon. After that day, Hutao used it as pajamas. It was really comfortable.

"You are such a fool. Why don't you go through the window when there is a door?"

"I want to see you soon. Is Hu Tao going to rest?"

Yi Xi spoke without blinking. Girls' rooms smell good, and Hu Tao's smells like plum blossoms.

Beside the bed, Hu Tao was wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt, and her posture was exactly the same as Funina's. Her swinging bare legs were very pleasing to the eye.

"Haha, you are really good at talking. I usually go to bed early and get up early, but it doesn't matter if I get up late occasionally."

"The work and rest schedule was taught by Zhongli, and Hu Tao didn't plan to wash up?"

Yi Xi sat next to Hu Tao, picked up the white sock and looked at it carefully. She also liked to throw it around.

Hearing this, Hu Tao lay down behind her and said lazily:

"I wanted to soak my feet comfortably, but Prince Yan left Wangsheng Hall and I was a little tired these two days because there were too many things to do. I didn't want to boil water..."

While saying this, Hu Tao didn't forget to steal a few glances at Yi Xi, with a clear gaze.

Yi Xi smiled casually, stood up and said:

"Okay, little Hu Tao, lie down for a while, I'll go get some water."

"Oh? Really? Are you kidding?"

"It's just a small matter."

As soon as Yi Xi walked out of the room, she saw Zhong Li looking at her with a strange look:

"What are you looking at? You want me to wash your feet? Dream on, don't even think about it, just do it yourself."

"..."

After a while, Yi Xi returned to Hu Tao's room with a basin of hot water, and tried the temperature with her hand. It was a little hot:

"Let the water cool for a while, it's a little..."

"Wow, what a great temperature, just right!"

Hu Tao first raised her toes to try it, and then said with shining eyes.

Yi Xi thought, could it be that the holder of the Fire Element God's Eye has a high heat resistance? Anyway, whatever you think is good is good.

"Yi Xi, you seem to be very good at doing these things. Is this also the job of a god's secretary?"

"Yes, my girl is very similar to you in private, in many ways."

Yi Xi said while holding Hu Tao's white and tender feet and washing them. Hu Tao's eyes became excited:

"Yes, yes, I felt that we would be good friends when I saw Fu Ningna for the first time. I didn't expect that one day I would be able to experience the treatment of a god. Thank you~"

"It's nothing. I can't watch you sleep with fatigue."

"You are so kind. If it were Zhongli, he would definitely lecture me again."

Hu Tao moved her toes happily, and then Yi Xi gently pinched them and wiped them.

When Yi Xi went out to pour Hu Tao's foot washing water, she saw Zhongli still standing there, but there were more black lines on his face.

Seeing this, Yi Xi sighed deeply and said to Zhong Li earnestly:

"Zhong Li, please don't have any strange thoughts about the basin of water in my hand. You can't, at least you shouldn't."

"......"

Zhong Li watched Yi Xi leave silently, and what he wanted to say was abruptly shut up by him.

Then, under Zhong Li's gaze, Yi Xi returned to Hu Tao's room and closed the door.

Hey, if I had known this, I should have let you in directly.

...

"Yi Xi, how did you and Zhong Li know each other? I've never seen you before."

At the table, Yi Xi and Hu Tao enjoyed the small cake brought from Fontaine together. As expected, Hu Tao also liked it very much.

Yixi smiled and touched Hutao's head, and said:

"Haha, Hutao was still a baby at that time, and I held you in my arms. Of course, it's normal not to remember things from childhood."

"Ah? But you look only a few years older than me, that's right, a secretary to a god must not be a mortal."

Hutao stuffed a small piece of cake into her mouth, drooped her legs and looked happy, then froze, thinking of something:

"Yixi, Zhongli is actually some kind of immortal, right? He was there when my grandfather was young, and he looks very young now."

"Well-Zhongli, he is indeed extraordinary."

Yixi nodded as if thinking about something, and then noticed that a star appeared on the table at some point.

"I knew it! But when I asked him about it, the subject was always changed. Can you tell me, please?"

"Okay, okay, since Hu Tao wants to know, I'll tell you."

"Then don't tell anyone."

"Yeah!"

Hu Tao's coquettish look was so cute. Yi Xi picked up the star that was emitting light and getting brighter and weighed it in her hand, and said mysteriously:

"It is said that someone in Liyue has gained immortality and thus has become long-lived. Yes, it is Zhongli who has signed a contract with the Emperor, which is to help the Hall of Rebirth guard the boundary between life and death."

"No wonder he has such a powerful friend like you. It turns out that my Zhongli Keqin really knows the Emperor and it is not a rumor."

Hu Tao was not too surprised. This was all unexpected and reasonable.

At the same time, the light of the star in Yi Xi's hand returned to its normal brightness, and then said:

"Yes, it's a pity that after Morax died, Zhongli is the only friend I have in Liyue, but I got to know Hu Tao through this, which is a blessing in disguise."

Hearing this, Hu Tao's moving big eyes flashed, and the joy on her face could not stop flowing out:

"Yi Xi, you are so nice to hear! I am so happy to have a friend like you!"

Zhongli: Fake, all fake, this is not the Yi Xi I know.

Qianzhi: Yi Xi, can you change your habit of looking through the window!

"I, Hu Tao, can't accept your kindness for nothing. As the saying goes, courtesy is reciprocity. I happen to know some massage techniques. Come and experience it."

"Okay."

...

"How does it feel?"

"Yeah~ Not bad."

"Do you want to be harder?"

"Change your position, do it this way."

At this time, Zhongli outside the door frowned when he heard the conversation between the two. What are you two doing...

After a little thought, he pushed open the door and said:

"Master Hu, it's getting late, hurry up..."

Then Zhongli looked at the scene in front of him and fell into deep thought.

On the bed, Hu Tao was carefully stepping on Yi Xi's back and pressing, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Hu Tao saw Zhong Li coming, so she asked:

"It's Zhong Li, why didn't you knock on the door before coming in, what's the matter?"

"Yeah... Sorry, go to bed early."

After that, Zhong Li left and closed the door.
