The moonlight in the desert flows quietly like running water, and the full moon freezes in the night sky, like a mirror polished by ice.

Gu Yihan and Xiao quarreled all the way before following Saino to a small courtyard at the westernmost end of Aru Village.

The courtyard is not big, but it is full of fragrant Xumi roses and various beautiful flowers.

The wooden fence is also covered with green plants full of Xumi characteristics.

In the yard, a young black-haired boy with gold-rimmed glasses stood upright in the yard, waiting for Gu Yihan and his friends to arrive.

The boy has an ice-attributed God's Eye hanging on his left arm. His overall temperament is not bad, and he exudes a rare noble and elegant temperament.

Seeing Gu Yihan and his friends enter the yard, the boy hurriedly raised his hand to greet them.

"Oh, I finally waited for you!"

Saino glanced at the boy who was excited and completely lost his gentlemanly manners, and said indifferently.

"I have brought the person you want. If there is nothing else, I will leave first. The traveler will come over later. You can give her the reward."

Seeing that Seno had no intention of staying, the boy did not say anything more.

Instead, he nodded happily and thanked him, "Thank you, Senior Seno, for your trouble."

Xiao glanced at the flowers in the yard, rubbed his nose, and asked the boy unhappily, "What is the matter with calling us here?"

The boy was stunned, and quickly retracted his gaze from Gu Yihan, and spoke excitedly.

"Senior, do you still remember me?"

Gu Yihan shook his head. He did not remember what the relationship was between him and the young man in front of him.

Seeing that Gu Yihan had forgotten him, the boy hung his head and stopped talking, looking very disappointed.

Seeing the boy's face full of disappointment, Xiao kicked Gu Yihan and gave him a look.

Gu Yihan also bent down to listen tactfully.

"Did you provoke someone you shouldn't?"

Gu Yihan's face was full of black lines, "Is there anyone in Teyvat that I, Gu Yihan, dare not provoke?"

"It seems so..." Xiao rubbed his chin helplessly, "But what's the matter with his expression of heartbreak?"

"How should I know?" Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and was about to say something to the boy, but saw that the boy held his waist and laughed again.

The boy straightened his body again and bowed to Gu Yihan.

"My name is Zhou Yi, I am from Mondstadt, thank you for saving my life at Wolf Ridge."

Gu Yihan's mouth twitched, it turned out to be a gratitude again...

I don't know why, looking at Zhou Yi's excited look, Gu Yihan actually thought of Inazuma's Aratake Ichito again...

But there are more important things waiting for him to do now, and he can't waste time here.

Gu Yihan said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness, but I'm sorry I won't accompany you if there's nothing else."

"Where are you going, benefactor? Can you take me with you?" Zhou Yi asked Gu Yihan hurriedly.

Xiao glanced at Zhou Yi and told him unhappily, "It's not convenient for him to take you."

Zhou Yi: "..."

Although he couldn't respond to Xiao's words, Zhou Yi's eyes were burning when he looked at Gu Yihan.

Avoiding Zhou Yi's burning gaze, Gu Yihan said expressionlessly.

"Xiao is right, I'm very busy and don't have time to play with the children."

Children? ! !

Zhou Yi was stunned, "Senior, you are joking. I am not talented. My parents sent me to Zhidong to study when I was ten years old. When I graduated at the age of 15, I was praised by the general officer of the Fatui, [Buffoon], Piero."

"At the age of 17, I obtained a double degree in Master of Laws and Bachelor of Laws in Liyue. At the age of 20, I taught "Quantitative Knowledge Theory" for a year at the Xumi Teaching Academy."

"At the age of 21, I served as an academician at the Fontaine Academy for two years. Now I am 23 years old, not a child."

Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows, "It turns out that I am a rare genius."

"So can you take me with you?" Zhou Yi asked nervously.

"No..." Gu Yihan refused coldly.

Zhou Yi didn't understand, "Why?!"

Gu Yihan sneered, "You are lying, I hate liars."

"I'm not, I'm really 23, not a child, and you look quite young..." Zhou Yi muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Yi unhappily.

Feeling that Gu Yihan was already a little impatient, Zhou Yi blushed and apologized in a low voice, "Okay, I admit that I was lying..."

"Those achievements are all my brother's... He is the academician of the Fontaine Academy, and now he is a consultant in the Academy of Teachings."

"The degree is also his, I... I have only been to the winter, and have not seen the people of the Fatui..."

"But please believe me, I really want to follow you, and I will do my best to repay your life-saving grace."

Gu Yihan listened without any emotion, "My hand fromDon't keep idle people here."

"How can it be an idle person!" Zhou Yi said, pointing to the Eye of God on his left arm, and said excitedly.

"The last time we rescued those teenagers in Benlangling, the senior should not have forgotten it, right?"

"You are also one of them?" Gu Yihan frowned, and suddenly remembered when he looked at Zhou Yi's Eye of God.

The moment he approached the caravan prison car, he seemed to feel that the power of the Eye of God was rapidly weakening.

At first he thought it was an illusion after he was poisoned.

But after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be related to the boy in front of him.

Zhou Yi nodded, "I don't have any hobbies, I usually like to tinker with some pranks."

"For example, researching some potions that are not very beneficial to people..."

"During that time, I developed a potion in a small cave outside Mond City that can make the Eye of God ineffective."

"I originally planned to sell it for a good price...but I accidentally got tricked. ”

“Later, she was discovered by criminals and taken to a prison van…”

“The potion is effective for too long. If it weren’t for your rescue, I wouldn’t dare to think about the consequences.”

Researching various potions.

Looking at the sincere boy, Gu Yihan sneered.

“Interesting, you dare to follow me without investigating me properly. Aren’t you afraid that I am not a good person?”

Zhou Yi laughed, “What a joke, I have always had a good eye for people.”

“Besides, isn’t it her own strength and chivalrous heart that Blood Rose is famous?”

Xiao: “…”

Gu Yihan sneered, approached Zhou Yi, and whispered something in his ear, which made Zhou Yi’s face look several degrees uglier in an instant.

Seeing Zhou Yi standing there in silence, Gu Yihan stepped out of the yard with a cold face.

Walked out of the village with Xiao.

“Did you tell him your identity? "

Gu Yihan smiled sarcastically, "Hmm..."

People's hearts are always colder than the water in the deep sea.

"When is your birthday?" Xiao asked.

"Probably 12.22...I can't remember clearly."

"Come to Jueyunjian when the time comes, and this immortal master will celebrate your birthday. You know that I always treat you as a friend."

"Okay."

The night was like water. After spending a simple night in the camp in the wild, Gu Yihan and Xiao went their separate ways.

At the time of parting, Gu Yihan left his cloak to Xiao, and Xiao also cooked the food that Gu Yihan liked.

The moment the dawn light sprinkled on the ground, Gu Yihan embarked on a journey to the winter...
