"Ice cream is here, Lumine, try it and see if it suits your taste, Paimon’s choice!"
Feng Yi brought the frozen ice cream to the dining table, then served it to Lumine and Paimon, as usual teasing Paimon.
"Hmph, I'm so angry~"
Paimon looked at the ice cream in her bowl, which was not even half the size of Lumine's. She pouted angrily, her little feet tapping in the air to protest Feng Yi's favoritism.
"Paimon, you're not that big. I gave you less because I was afraid you wouldn't finish it. Don't be angry. Try it first. If you like it, I'll give you more after you finish!"
Feng Yi rarely comforted Paimon, mainly because he was worried she would go on strike.
After all, he couldn't lose this free labor he had finally managed to trick into working for him!
"Okay, Paimon will reluctantly accept your explanation!"
Paimon wiped a bit of ice cream with her finger and put it in her mouth. After a moment of tasting, she was instantly conquered by the cold, rich flavor of the ice cream.
Paimon: No one can refuse the temptation of a bowl of ice cream. If there is such a person, they must not be human!
Paimon picked up the large spoon from the table, scooped out the remaining ice cream in her bowl, and ate it all in one go.
"So cold, so cold... But I love it, hehe..."
Paimon floated happily in the air, a satisfied smile on her face.
Coming back with Feng Yi and the others was indeed a wise choice, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to eat such delicious desserts!
"Feng Yi, Feng Yi, I'm done, I want more!"
Paimon held out her small bowl to Feng Yi, asking him to serve her some more.
"I'm busy right now, just get a bowl yourself!"
Feng Yi waved Paimon away without even looking at her.
He was busy eating the ice cream Lumine was feeding him!
Seeing that Feng Yi had worked hard to make ice cream for her and Paimon, Lumine scooped a small spoonful of ice cream from her own bowl and fed it to him as a reward for his hard work.
"Then... Paimon will do it herself~"
Paimon ignored Feng Yi and Lumine's affectionate exchange, her heart completely devoted to the ice cream.
Feng Yi told her to get ice cream from the basin herself, and Paimon felt like it was a heaven-sent opportunity. She wanted to monopolize the deliciousness of the ice cream!
"Hehe~"
After glancing at Feng Yi’s situation, and seeing that Feng Yi wasn't paying attention to her, Paimon directly leaned over the edge of the ice cream basin, holding a large spoon, and giggled.
"Feng Yi, this dessert is really delicious, is there any more? I want to eat some more..."
Lumine licked the remaining ice cream from the corner of her mouth, smiled shyly at Feng Yi, and stuck out her little tongue, speaking with a hint of embarrassment.
"Of course, I made a whole basin today! Hmm? Where's my ice cream?"
Feng Yi took the empty bowl Lumine handed him and was about to add another bowl for her when he turned around...
Well! There was no ice cream left!
Only Paimon, with her eyes narrowed, patting her round belly, lay in the ice cream basin and let out a burp at him.
"Did you do this?"
Feng Yi grabbed Paimon by her little legs and pointed at the empty ice cream basin, asking.
"Of course! Miss Ice Cream said she liked Paimon the most, so Paimon ate her all up!"
Paimon felt a bit too full now and didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Feng Yi: I wasn't praising you, what's with that proud look on your face?
"Feng Yi, forget it, just put Paimon down. She must be uncomfortable being held by you like that."
Lumine quickly intervened, taking Paimon from Feng Yi's hands and letting her lie flat on the table to rest.
Since Lumine had said so, Feng Yi didn't dwell on it. Looking at Paimon's round belly, which had stretched her clothes open, revealing a bit of her fair, tender tummy.
Feng Yi poked it gently with his finger. It felt quite good.
"Feng Yi, that's so lewd~"
Paimon slapped away Feng Yi's finger and quickly pulled down her clothes, covering her exposed belly.
Feng Yi: ...
After resting for a while, Paimon's stomach quickly returned to normal. Feng Yi then told her to change into a waitress uniform and get to work for him.
As they passed the alchemy workshop, Feng Yi noticed that Albedo had returned from Dragonspine. He asked Lumine to take Paimon to help at the tavern first while he headed towards the alchemy workshop.
"Lumine, you're here. Teacher Albedo just returned from the mountains, and I was just about to inform you..."
Sucrose waved enthusiastically when she saw Feng Yi approaching.
"Teacher Albedo, this is... Feng Yi, the alchemy apprentice I just mentioned to you..."
"Feng Yi, this is Master Albedo, the renowned master alchemist of Mondstadt!"
Sucrose happily introduced them to each other.
"Mr. Feng Yi, I have heard of your name. I am glad you also have an interest in alchemy. Well... if you encounter any difficulties in alchemy, you can always come to me. As long as I can answer, I will not refuse!"
Albedo was very curious about the handsome young man before him. He had heard this name from Ms. Alice over a year ago, when Ms. Alice had not yet left Mondstadt.
Ms. Alice had given a very high evaluation of this stranger she had never met.
She called him "the destined one who will one day tip the scales of the world order"!
From then on, Albedo paid close attention to this name.
Until recently, when he was conducting experiments in the snowy mountains, he met an adventurer who had just left Mondstadt and learned about Feng Yi from him. To see this stranger, whom even Ms. Alice highly praised, Albedo rushed back from Dragonspine overnight.
Albedo planned to use answering alchemy questions as a way to establish a topic with him and learn more about him.
"Mr. Albedo, it's a pleasure to meet you. Speaking of alchemy, I actually need to trouble you with something..."
Feng Yi had finally waited for Albedo to return and couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Mr. Feng Yi, please speak."
Albedo took out a drawing board, sketched some tables and chairs on it, and then used alchemy to create them out of thin air.
Albedo invited Feng Yi to sit down and speak slowly, then drew a pot of tea...
"Thank you. It's like this, the alchemy books I've encountered contain knowledge that is disorganized, making it difficult for me to grasp the framework of the knowledge during my studies. Therefore, I would like to ask Mr. Albedo if you could help me organize a systematic knowledge framework?"
After accepting the tea handed to him by Albedo, Feng Yi thanked him and said.
"If it's just organizing a knowledge framework, it's not difficult for me. It will take me two days..."
Albedo thought for a moment and said. He happened to have a personal notebook, and he only needed to organize some content to meet Feng Yi's request.
