"Cough, cough, Lumine, what do you need?"
After Feng Yi answered "I'm not here," he suddenly realized he was being foolish.
He quickly cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness and asked Lumine what she needed.
"Um... Feng Yi, my pajamas accidentally got wet. Do you have any other clothes? Can I borrow some to wear for now?"
Lumine said shyly from behind the bathroom door.
"I only have my clothes, is that okay?"
Feng Yi thought about it; he really didn't have any women's clothes in the house.
"Yes, yes, it's fine!"
With limited options, Lumine wasn't being picky at this moment.
"Here, I'll get them for you. Open the door a crack, and I'll pass them in!"
Feng Yi found some casual wear and knocked on the bathroom door.
Creak~
Lumine hid behind the door, opening it just a sliver, only wide enough for an arm.
Feng Yi immediately extended his arm and passed the clothes in.
"Thank you, Feng Yi~"
Lumine took the clothes, and after Feng Yi's arm retracted, she closed the bathroom door and began to change.
Feng Yi returned to the dining table and sat down, reminiscing about the soft touch of his arm against hers, and let out a silly chuckle.
A few minutes later, Lumine emerged from the bathroom wearing loose, oversized clothes and sat down beside Feng Yi.
"Sorry to keep you waiting~"
Lumine apologized to Feng Yi, shaking her wet hair.
"It's nothing, you must be starving! Try these dishes quickly, see if they suit your taste?"
Feng Yi opened the thermal cover on the dinner plates, revealing a table full of a rich dinner to Lumine.
"I made these especially for you. Look, there's lotus seed and preserved meat stew, shredded pork with garlic sauce, crispy rice with sauce... and a side of smashed cucumber!"
Feng Yi explained each dish to Lumine as he lifted the cover.
As for the smashed cucumber, he had made it casually while waiting for Lumine to finish her bath, just to pass the time.
"Wow, they all look delicious, Feng Yi, you're amazing!"
After tasting each dish, Lumine highly praised Feng Yi's cooking.
However, after tasting everything, she had a particular fondness for the smashed cucumber, picking at it with her chopsticks from time to time.
"Feng Yi, you made so much, won't it be too wasteful if we can't finish it?"
Lumine patted her slightly bulging stomach; she was already full, but they had only eaten less than a third of the dishes. What about the rest?
"Don't worry, if there's anything left, I'll eat it!"
Feng Yi: In my dictionary, there's no such word as "waste"!
Lumine: Pirated content is not encouraged!
Feng Yi: ...
After Lumine put down her chopsticks, Feng Yi, with a whirlwind speed, cleared all the dishes in just a few minutes.
This sight stunned Lumine; she had never seen anyone eat so much before.
Feng Yi: This is nothing, I'll show you another day what "eating a whole pig in three bites" means!
"Lumine, you should go back to your room and rest. I'll wash the dishes, and then I'll go to sleep too. The tavern opens tomorrow, so I need to get up early to prepare!"
Feng Yi said to Lumine as he cleaned up the dishes.
"Feng Yi, you've taken such good care of me, you should let me wash the dishes!"
Lumine felt very guilty for not helping out after receiving so much care from Feng Yi.
"You're a guest, after all, it's not proper..."
Saying this, Feng Yi handed the dishes in his hands to Lumine.
Lumine smiled gently and took the dishes to the kitchen.
After she finished washing the dishes and was on her way back to her room, she passed Feng Yi's room and heard loud snoring coming from inside.
Hmph hmph~ Wu ha~
Feng Yi's snoring sounded like a little pig, making Lumine chuckle.
Just then, Feng Yi's snoring suddenly stopped. Lumine thought her laughter had been too loud and Feng Yi had heard her, so she quickly ran back to her room.
Closing the door and lying in bed, Lumine soon drifted off to sleep, smelling the faint, elegant fragrance of the clothes.
The next morning, Lumine woke up early, greeted the rising sun, and stretched her slender curves by the window.
Unfortunately, no one was there to admire her. Feng Yi was currently in a dream, having a barbecue with the Duke of Dreams!
Feng Yi: Look at this grilled lamb leg, the aroma is intoxicating, and the meat is tender...
Duke of Dreams: Sprinkle more cumin, that's my favorite!
Feng Yi woke up, washed up, and prepared to take Lumine to the Hunters Lodge for a quick breakfast once she got up.
However, as he passed the kitchen, he heard clanging sounds from inside, making Feng Yi think there was a mouse!
It wasn't until Feng Yi opened the kitchen door that he realized Lumine was preparing breakfast for him.
However, Lumine was wearing an apron and loose clothes, revealing her fair and delicate shoulders...
This scene was reminiscent of the opening of some action movies!
Having seen countless movies, Feng Yi found this familiar scene a bit distracting.
"Feng Yi? You're awake. Just wait a little longer, breakfast will be ready soon!"
Lumine heard the kitchen door open and turned to see Feng Yi leaning against the doorway with a smile. She returned his smile sweetly.
"Good morning, Lumine! Do you need any help?"
After being on the Teyvat continent for so long, Feng Yi was experiencing a feeling similar to home for the first time.
The feeling of someone preparing breakfast for him in the early morning was truly blissful and warm!
"Hmm... can you smash a cucumber?"
Lumine said with a smile, she really missed the taste of the smashed cucumber from last night.
"Of course!"
An unusual breakfast was quickly prepared with their cooperation.
Considering Feng Yi's appetite, Lumine made enough for three people. She ate half of it, and the rest went into Feng Yi's stomach.
Seeing Feng Yi looking still unsatisfied, Lumine realized she had underestimated his appetite. Tomorrow, she planned to make enough for five people!
After breakfast, Feng Yi first took Lumine to buy a fitting outfit, and then they went to the tavern for opening preparations.
"Dada da, Brother Feng Yi, Klee is here to help!"
Early in the morning, Klee ran over with her little legs, bouncing happily.
Because Feng Yi's tavern was opening today, Jean had generously granted Klee a day off from her confinement, allowing her to visit Feng Yi and celebrate.
"Klee, you're here so early, not sleeping in, that deserves praise!"
Feng Yi stroked Klee's cute little head and couldn't help but praise her.
"No~ Klee didn't sleep all night! To celebrate Brother Feng Yi's tavern opening, Klee has been researching fireworks all night and finally finished them before dawn! Look, Brother Feng Yi, this is what's in Klee's backpack~"
Klee showed Feng Yi the backpack behind her and said proudly.
Today, she could finally let off bombs... no, fireworks, openly!
Klee: Happy (^_^ )
