"It's so late, what's wrong?"
"I'm going to Liyue."
"...Oh."
Lin Jiu'an didn't understand why she suddenly came to him in the middle of the night to say such things.
This is more than half a month.
Since Ying chased him here the day she first arrived in Mondstadt, she has been busy dealing with Dvalin's affairs. During that time, she only stopped by Cattail Tavern a few times for meals. Lin Jiu'an thought she had completely forgotten about him, a stranger.
"Would you like to come to Liyue with me?"
"No, I quite like it here."
Ying bit her lower lip slightly.
She was somewhat unwilling, but she really didn't know how to make Lin Jiu'an like her.
Although Lin Jiu'an's attitude towards her has gradually become indifferent recently, this indifference is still harder for her to accept than his previous deliberate coldness and estrangement.
Just as Ying was at a loss, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Who?"
“It’s me, Amber.”
Ying panicked instantly.
Lin Jiu'an looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“I told Amber I was going to see Wendy.”
Lin Jiu'an thoughtfully pointed to the window and said, "There's a window there."
Ying's eyes lit up, but as soon as she walked to the window, she immediately felt something was wrong.
What does Amber want with Lin Jiu'an so late at night?
The girl's sense of crisis made Ying stop in her tracks. After hesitating for a moment, Ying asked Lin Jiu'an, who was looking at her blankly, "Is there anywhere in the house where I can hide?"
"Can't you just jump out the window?" Lin Jiu'an asked, puzzled. "The second floor isn't high."
"I'm afraid of heights."
Lin Jiu'an: "?"
Are you afraid of heights, like flying in the sky or shooting arrows like Dvalin?
"Then crawl under the bed, it's quite spacious there."
His bed was a wooden template bed with four legs.
The space under the bed is quite spacious.
Seeing that Ying didn't jump off the building but instead crawled under his bed, which he hadn't cleaned for days, Lin Jiu'an fell silent.
This person probably has some serious illness.
'Tap tap.'
"Mr. Lin, are you there?"
"The door is unlocked, come in."
The door opened, and Amber cautiously walked in.
Seeing that Lin Jiu'an was the only one in the room, Amber seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Jiu'an asked, "It's so late, is there something you need?"
"Well, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."
Lin Jiu'an was speechless. You're a scout knight, which is practically a minor nobleman. If you need anything, please call me, a poor man working in a tavern.
"Sure, but you have to pay."
Amber was taken aback.
"money?"
"Please."
Lin Jiu'an shrugged and said, "It's break time now. If you don't have any money, please leave. I need to rest."
"I have money! I have money!"
Amber hurriedly pulled a money pouch from her bosom, opened it, and handed it to him.
He asked nervously, "Is this enough?"
After taking the money bag and quickly counting it, Lin Jiu'an realized it contained about 10,000 Mora, and immediately grinned.
Pursuing a woman requires money and effort, but in the end, she might use you up and then dump you.
But Mora is different.
Anyone might betray you, but Mora won't!
With Mora by his side, he can find any beautiful woman he wants.
"please sit down."
Lin Jiu'an subtly stuffed a whole bag of Mora into his arms, then warmly invited Amber to sit down in a chair.
He said, "Please feel free to ask me any questions, and I will answer them to the best of my ability."
Seeing Lin Jiu'an's attitude change 180 degrees, Anbo was a little confused, but she also vaguely knew that Lin Jiu'an seemed to be willing to chat with her.
"Um, do you know Yura?" Amber asked in a low voice.
This was a topic she had already thought of at today's celebration banquet.
Find common ground through friends, thereby enhancing the relationship and gradually progressing step by step.
"The Wave Knight, I've heard of her."
Ying lay under the bed, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed in a frown.
Listening to their conversation, there seemed to be nothing wrong; it was just like friends casually discussing a problem that was bothering her.
These were just some rather pointed questions, and Lin Jiu'an, just like in his previous life, pointed the finger at the capitalists of Mondstadt, blaming the Yura and Lawrence families for their actions.
but.
Why would Amber ask Lin Jiu'an, a mere laborer, such a question?
Instead of asking in public, she came to ask privately in the middle of the night, and even took the initiative to give Lin Jiu'an money.
Oh, right, money. You need to memorize this; it'll be a key topic on the exam later.
He pondered Lin Jiu'an's attitude, which had changed drastically before and after receiving Amber Mora's message.
Ying seemed to be thinking about something.
Just as she was pondering, "Is Amber, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, going to betray me and steal my man?" and "So Lin Jiu'an likes Mora?", the door suddenly rang again.
"Who?" Lin Jiu'an asked.
"it's me."
Lisa's uniquely charming and languid voice rang out from outside the door.
silence.
Then Ying heard Amber say urgently in a low voice, "I... I told Miss Lisa that we were going for a walk."
"I can't let Miss Lisa find out I'm here!"
Amber, you really are my best friend.
Ying was speechless for a moment, then found it somewhat amusing.
Should!
Why did you have to come looking for Lin Jiu'an and corner me under the bed?
Jump out the window!
"There's a window over there," Lin Jiu'an thoughtfully pointed to the window again.
Amber walked to the window and suddenly remembered the question that Ying had been thinking about by the window earlier.
Is there anywhere to hide inside the house?
Lin Jiu'an suddenly didn't know what to say.
There was no wardrobe in the room, and the table was right in front of the door against the wall, so there was no way to hide it.
Unfortunately, Amber was a VIP customer who had paid for the service. With the spirit of "having Mora makes you a king", Lin Jiu'an was thinking about where else he could hide when he saw her looking at the bed and her eyes suddenly lit up.
He then pulled back the sheets and crawled under the bed.
Looking at the sheets that had fallen back down, Lin Jiu'an remained silent for a while, then pinched his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
Whatever, do whatever you want, I don't care anymore.
Chapter Thirteen: Lin Jiu'an is dead. You chose this one!
"Come in, the door is unlocked."
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open.
The witch with chestnut-brown hair walked in with a smile.
"It's so late, are you still awake?"
“Counting money.” Lin Jiu’an said honestly.
If Amber weren't his VIP client, he would have really wanted to betray the two people under the bed right now.
However, considering the 10,000 Mora, Lin Jiu'an decided to be a good person.
"It's so late, Miss Lisa, is there anything I can help you with?"
Looking at Lin Jiu'an's indifferent attitude.
Lisa was a little worried.
That's the attitude.
She thought that the ambiguous moment they shared while drunk that night would make Lin Jiu'an develop feelings for her.
By using the excuse of having him deliver pizzas to Qin, she could spend time with him every day. After a few days, their relationship would be upgraded. Once the Wind Demon Dragon incident was resolved, she and Lin Jiu'an would have a fait accompli. At that time, even if Qin came, she could say, "I came first."
But things didn't go as planned. Lin Jiu'an acted as if the ambiguity of that day never existed, treating her purely as a 'client'.
This also made Lisa very dissatisfied.
Why was he so devoted to Qin in his past life, yet now he's so cold to her?
Does he have no choice but to wait for Qin to dump him, and then risk breaking up with Qin and eating the leftovers she left behind?
"My sister can't sleep and wants to chat with you."
"I'm sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Once Miss Lisa gets home, then..."
Lin Jiu'an's calm words came to an abrupt end.
Lin Jiu'an fell silent as he looked at the bulging money bag that Lisa had taken out.
Seeing Lin Jiu'an suddenly fall silent, Lisa's sexy red lips curled up slightly.
really.
She had been thinking about how to take her relationship with Lin Jiu'an to the next level.
The excuse of being drunk and engaging in promiscuous behavior can no longer be used.
After much consideration, she realized that Lin Jiu'an's actions all had only one purpose: Mora!
He cares a lot about Mora!
Although this doesn't quite match her previous life's attitude towards Mora, which was simply to spend as much as she could, the result of her test now seems both unexpected and reasonable.
"There are 20,000 Mora here."
