After hearing Xiang Wan's introduction, Xiang Ling was about to explain, but she choked on her saliva as she spoke.

"Cough cough cough——"

"I, I, I..."

At this moment, Xiangling thought to herself, what a disaster it was, if she spoke ill of Hutao in front of her fiancé, she would definitely scare her again later.

"Don't be nervous, I won't tell Hu Tao."

"Thank you for taking good care of Hu Tao."

"Please do the same in the future."

Xiang Wan looked at Xiang Ling and smiled. His smile was as bright, warm and genial as the sun.

Xiangling felt that he was very kind, as gentle and generous as the big brother next door. She liked him very much.

When Xiang Wan's black eyes looked at Xiang Ling, Xiang Ling could feel the sincerity exuding from Xiang Wan. Her cheeks turned red, she waved her hands and whispered: "Taking care of everything... is what you should do...

.”

"that……"

"I...my name is Xiang...L..."

"Well--"

Xiangling covered her mouth with her small hands, and even her fair neck showed a hint of red...

At this moment, Xiang Ling wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She felt that she had no face to face Xiang Wan, and she actually bit her tongue when she said her name. It was really embarrassing.

The diners who had been eating at Wanmintang saw Xiangling's appearance and couldn't help but yelled: "How come the young chef of Wanmintang can't even say his own name?"

"You're not shy when you see the handsome guy, are you?"

The hall instantly burst into laughter.

Xiangling stubbornly shouted to all the diners: "That's right! You're not shy!"

"Why do you stutter when you're not shy?"

"I just...I just..."

"What is it?"

Xiangling blushed at the words of the diners, she covered her face and lowered her head shyly.

"Xiang Ling..."

A weak voice floated faintly, and Xiang Ling raised her eyes slightly, secretly watching Xiang Wan's reaction.

Xiang Wan had been looking at Xiang Ling, taking in all the cute looks she had shown just now. Thanks to her shy little appearance, Xiang Wan felt much more relaxed.

Xiang Wan smiled softly and said, "This name suits you very well."

Xiangling nodded and responded: "I...I think so too..."

Xiang Wan's eyes fell on the table not far away, where a cute little doll-like thing was looking at the two of them curiously with its big eyes open.

"His name is Guo Ba."

"Cookba?"

Xiang Wan nodded, looked at Xiangling and said, "Did you get the name?"

Xiang Ling nodded sheepishly. Her name was related to food. In front of her elder brother Xiang Wan, she felt that she was already ashamed to the point of embarrassment.

"No one ever told you that name was cute?"

Xiang Wan took out two Jueyun peppers from the King's Treasure House and handed them to Guo Ba.

"Want to eat?"

The rice cake jumped into Xiang Wan's hand, he picked up the Jueyun Pepper and ate it happily.

Xiang Wan looked at the well-behaved Guo Ba, and slowly raised his hand to touch Guo Ba's head. Guo Ba raised his head and rubbed Xiang Wan's palm.

"It seems Guoba also likes you very much."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Ling's face turned red again. When she realized that Xiang Wan's eyes had been fixed on Guo Ba and he didn't notice the other meaning in her words, Xiang Ling patted her chest with her little hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting with Xiang Ling for a while, Xiang Wan finally remembered that Hu Tao at home was still waiting for him to go back and cook.

Xiang Wan, who was hesitating whether to go back quickly, came to a conclusion after listening to Xiang Ling's sweet voice.

Then let her continue to wait.

After all, I’ve been waiting for so long, so it’s not too late.

Xiangling was happily recounting her experience after traveling to Mondstadt a month ago, where she met a traveler named Ying. She was accompanied by a little girl named Paimon who could fly in the air.

"I call her emergency food."

At this point, Xiangling covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes turned into crescent moons, her shoulders shook slightly, and she seemed really happy.

"Ying is looking for her missing brother."

"I wonder when they will come to Liyue~"

Xiangling held her chin up, tilted her head slightly and looked at Xiang Wan and said cautiously: "When they come, I...can I take you to meet them?"

"sure."

Xiang Wan has been listening to Xiang Ling's story.

After confirming that it was the queen who came, Xiang Wan touched her chin. It was impossible to find her brother. When the queen arrived, she would take her to travel around the continent of Teyvat to see the beautiful scenery and eat delicious food.

How tiring it is to look for my brother.

Wouldn’t it be nice to eat, drink and be merry?

By that time, his relationship with Hu Tao might have progressed further, and they could just go and visit various places together.

Thinking of this, Xiang Wan nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, several guests came in at the door, and Xiang Ling greeted them enthusiastically, but her eyes would fall on Xiang Wan from time to time, seeming a little nervous.

Xiang Wan touched Guo Ba's head and fed him another Jueyun pepper.

"Xiang Ling, it's time for me to go back."

"Wait a moment!"

Xiangling ran into the kitchen, and soon she came out with a fish in her hand and a bag of shrimp dumplings in her arms.

"Aren't you going to cook for Hutao?"

"Take these back."

"That money..."

Xiangling waved her hand and said, "Next time you come to my place to eat, just give it to me together."

Xiang Wan didn't think much about it and accepted it happily.

After waving goodbye, Xiang Wan was not in a hurry to go back, but went to some shops to buy some snacks.

In the room, Hutao lay motionless on the bed.

There were several books scattered around him, each with only a few pages opened.

"Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Hutao kept swinging her fair and slender legs and landed on the bed, making a snapping sound.

In this short period of time, all kinds of random speculations had flashed through her mind.

The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes...

"ah--"

Hu Tao sat up, hugging the pillow and hitting it on the sheets at the head of the bed.

"Stinky Xiangwan! Still not coming back!"

"Do you want to starve me to death?"

"Is he going out to eat delicious food behind my back?"

In a flash, Hu Tao came to the door.

Click——

Hu Tao's hand hanging in the air froze.

"Huh? I didn't open the door, why did it open?"

"Ouch——"

Hu Tao covered her forehead and looked at Xiang Wan who was holding a fish and looking at her blankly outside the door.

"I'm not so hungry that I can't stand it anymore and I want to find you."

"I just……"
