Chapter 139 Minors
Chen Tianfeng felt that Ye Lan had something else in her words, but he couldn't figure out why she was saying it, maybe for fun?
Chen Tianfeng thought about it and decided not to think about it.
Many times, many things are best left vague, and you should pretend to be confused when you should. You are not afraid of both parties knowing each other and playing vaguely, but you are afraid of unilateral misunderstandings, but you are brave enough to die.
For example, some innocent boys with no experience, just a smile, a soft and soft greeting, and a little bit of polite concern, will have the illusion of "does she like me" or "she must like me".
Then, they will make a self-explosive confession without thinking.
A courageous extroversion in exchange for a lifetime of introversion.
How miserable it is.
Chen Tianfeng glanced out the window and estimated the time. He felt that the Angel's Gift should still be open at this time, and it would probably be open - many Mond people would really drink all night long.
He invited Ye Lan to the tavern, and he, who was half Mondstadt, would host.
Ye Lan readily agreed, and at the same time reminded him that Chen Tianfeng was from Liyue, and that she had personally registered him as proof.
"Where's Wendy? Do you want to come with us?"
"Well, I can't."
Wendy unexpectedly chose to refuse, and he covered his lips with his hand and yawned: "It's too late, now is rest time. And little Tianfeng, I'm not an adult yet, drinking is not good."
Chen Tianfeng's expression was slightly stiff, and after noticing Ye Lan's slightly condemning eyes, his expression stiffened a little more.
"Brother Chen, even if it's Liyue, it's not good to take children to the tavern in the middle of the night."
"I... forget it."
Chen Tianfeng opened his mouth, and finally sighed, feeling quite tired. When a god who had lived for who knows how long began to shamelessly pretend to be young, he really had no way to deal with it.
Chen Tianfeng didn't explain, and it was difficult to explain. He asked Ye Lan to wait for a while, and then went to look for Mora hiding in the small building.
Ever since he knew that his Eye of God was "unguarded" against Wendy, Chen Tianfeng habitually left some Mora in his residence, so that Wendy wouldn't squander all his Mora on a whim.
Interestingly, Wendy would use the Mora that Chen Tianfeng stored in the Eye of God without hesitation, but would not touch the Mora he hid in his residence, just pretending not to see it, even though Chen Tianfeng sometimes hid it in front of him.
The two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
"Sorry for the long wait, let's go."
Chen Tianfeng went downstairs, greeted Ye Lan who was waiting in the alchemy laboratory, and led the purple-haired and purple-eyed Kafka version of Ye Lan to the Angel's Gift.
"Brother Chen, are you also interested in alchemy?"
Ye Lan glanced at the two-story building that was gradually moving away, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
The building was not big, but it was full of life. It seemed that Chen Tianfeng had a comfortable time in Mondstadt these days. Not only did he make friends, but he also gave people the feeling that he was not as defensive and paranoid as when they first met.
And his friends... are all great people.
"Well, alchemy is magical and convenient, and sometimes you can make something new."
Chen Tianfeng nodded, looking at the streets quietly bathed in the bright moonlight, and said softly: "Sometimes I always miss the things in my hometown, so I thought that after learning alchemy, I might be able to make one or two things by myself, which can be regarded as seeing my hometown again."
"Hometown." Ye Lan thought for a while: "I remember Brother Chen said that your hometown is in a very remote place in Teyvat. Have you ever thought about going back to take a look?"
"I can't go back."
Chen Tianfeng shook his head, but his expression was not very sad, but more of a habitual calmness.
"Hmm? Why?"
"Because I come from outside the world, my hometown is not in Teyvat."
"..."
Ye Lan paused, looking at Chen Tianfeng who said he came from outside the world in a calm tone like "what's for dinner", with a little surprise in her eyes: "Brother Chen..."
"I thought Miss Ye Lan had guessed it long ago."
Chen Tianfeng slowed down his pace, waited for Ye Lan to catch up, turned his head to look at her, with a smile in his eyes.
From this angle, Kafka, disguised by Ye Lan, is still a little different from the one in his memory. But not much, the two are equally charming and dangerous, with the same natural charm, almost like another me in another world.
"I guessed it, but I didn't expect Brother Chen to be from outside the world."
In her and Ningguang's guess, they both thought that Chen Tianfeng had a closer relationship with the immortals, perhaps a new disciple of some immortal family.
Ye Lan turned her head and met Chen Tianfeng's smiling eyes. She pursed her lips and sighed: "Brother Chen has really changed a lot."
"I just remembered some past events and I feel more confident."
Chen Tianfeng stopped and looked forward: "We are here."
Ye Lan followed Chen Tianfeng's gaze and saw a tavern with a strong Mondstadt style. In front of the tavern, there were several tables of Mondstadt drinkers who were either drunk or about to get drunk.
The dragon disaster has passed, and the Abyss's magic tide plan has been thwarted by the Knights. Now Mondstadt is peaceful, and more Mondstadt people come out to drink at night.
The two pushed the door open, Chen Tianfeng greeted Charles, and led Ye Lan to his usual seat - the table next to the railing on the second floor, which not only has a good view, but has not been occupied by drinkers at this moment.
Ye Lan ordered the menu and returned it to the waiter. She saw Chen Tianfeng looking at her in surprise and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing." Chen Tianfeng looked at her and suddenly became curious: "Ye Lan, how many countries have you been to?"
He originally thought that Ye Lan would be a little surprised to see that the Mondstadt Tavern was run differently from the Liyue Tavern, but unexpectedly, Ye Lan seemed very familiar with it. Thinking about it carefully, as the queen of Liyue walking in the dark, Ye Lan must be very familiar with the countries in Teyvat, so it is normal not to be surprised.
If you really compare them, except for some major events or some secrets related to the demon god, Ye Lan's understanding of Teyvat is undoubtedly much better than his.
"A lot, but no more than seven."
Ye Lan said some nonsense, took the various drinks brought by the waiter, thanked him softly, looked up at Chen Tianfeng, with a smile in his eyes: "Why did Brother Chen suddenly ask this?"
"Just curious, and a little emotional."
"Emotional?"
"Well, the peace and tranquility of Liyue is hard-won, Miss Ye Lan has worked hard."
Chen Tianfeng raised his glass and said solemnly: "I should toast Miss Ye Lan."
"I can't be said to be working hard. Compared with those who are really working hard, I am just doing what I like. But..."
Ye Lan's beautiful eyes moved, raised her glass and clinked it with him lightly: "Thank you."
...
At the bar on the first floor, Charles looked at the two people who were talking happily on the second floor, waved to a waiter, whispered something, and the waiter nodded and trotted out of the tavern.
