I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 496

Luckily, Xia Zhi was wearing sunglasses, otherwise her eyes would have been hurt by the flashes.

At one point, a strange woman walked over.

She walked straight to Charlotte, who was focused on taking pictures, patted the girl on the shoulder, and said in a friendly and natural tone, "Charlotte."

Charlotte turned around abruptly, her face full of surprise: "Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu!? What are you doing here?"

"I had some personal matters to attend to, and I also happened to have an invitation, so I came over to see you."

"Oh, well, now that the editor-in-chief is gone, what will happen to Steambird Newspaper?"

"I'm just an editor-in-chief. It's not like the newspaper can't function without me. Someone will naturally help me with my original work during this time. I didn't expect that you, Charlotte, would also become an editor-in-chief."

"Oh hey hey..."

Charlotte smiled a little embarrassedly.

After all, she was still nominally a foreign correspondent for Steambird Newspaper.

I was originally on a business trip to another city, and I was secretly doing some odd jobs, but I didn't expect to be caught by my boss.

"Editor-in-chief..."

"Don't worry, I won't fire you. I can't bear to lose a capable reporter like you."

"You didn't say that before!"

"What did I say?"

"You said I'm always causing trouble outside... Speaking of which, Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu, you weren't implicated because of what I did before, were you?"

Charlotte lowered her voice and asked with some concern in her eyes.

Ou Fu smiled and waved her hand.

"Don't worry, no, as I said, I'm here on private business."

"Then, do you need my help?"

"help……"

"Don't let my short time here fool you; I already have a lot of connections in Liyue!"

"Is it……"

Ou Fu looked at this righteous and energetic junior, and at the phonograph hanging around her neck, her gaze somewhat meaningful.

"Thank you very much. I will come to you if I need anything."

"Uh-huh!"

"Mr. Galanoplo also asked me to give you a letter."

"Really? Father... are they both alright?"

"It's great, don't worry. Here, take it."

Ouf took out the letter and handed it to Charlotte. Then she turned around, abandoning her previous casual behavior, and gave a polite smile. She solemnly performed the standard Liyue etiquette for Xia Zhi and Zhong Li.

"Hello, both principals."

"Hello."

Xia Zhi and Zhong Li nodded to her as well.

Ou Fu glanced at Xia Zhi again.

This makes sense, since he is indeed more charming than Zhongli.

After saying hello, she went inside alone.

Charlotte looked down at the letter in her hand, her expression somewhat complicated, but she still didn't open it immediately.

She touched the envelope and carefully put away the letter her father had written.

People only miss the warmth of home when they are far away from it.

She picked up the camera and continued taking pictures of Xia Zhi.

This was, after all, a task assigned by Lady Ningguang, and it concerned whether she could return home safely, so she had to take it seriously.

But then I remembered the prophecy Mona gave her last time.

She felt conflicted.

I don't think I'll really be able to go back until the end of the year, do I?

--

On the teaching building in the distance.

Xia Ci and Xia Zhen leaned against the railing, watching what was happening at the school gate through binoculars.

"My cousin's expression of being forced to work is really funny."

"I think he looks pretty good dressed like that."

"Doesn't my cousin look good in everything?"

"..."

"Another strange woman has arrived. Let me see what she's saying to Charlotte..."

"No, how did you learn lip reading?"

"That's not important. Hmm, it's actually the editor-in-chief of the Steambird Newspaper? What would an editor-in-chief be doing in Liyue? Is he here specifically to find a big story? There's definitely something fishy going on."

"I say, aren't you being too alarmed? She's just an ordinary woman who happened to appear next to my cousin."

"You don't understand, she just glanced at my cousin twice."

"..."

--

The rooftop on the other side.

Xiao stood alone on top, enjoying the breeze and looking down at the bustling crowd.

The two True Lords, Xiaoyue and Lishui, stood below and called out to him, "Xiao, come down here."

Xiao's not-so-tall figure blurred slightly before appearing on the ground.

His tone remained cold: "What is it?"

"Yunhan Society is already setting up the venue. Let's go grab a front-row seat to watch the show."

"You may go, there's no need to call me."

"Hey, let's go together."

"I'm not interested..."

“That was a play that Mr. Xia instructed Miss Yun Jin on, and I also brought back a lot of pastries that Mr. Xia made himself from Xiang Ling…”

"Let's go."

Snacks aren't important; Xiao mainly wants to hear how good Mr. Xia's revised version of the play is.

--

In fact, the entire completion ceremony was similar to the previous banquet at Qunyu Pavilion.

It's all about visiting, eating, and watching plays.

Once all the invited guests had arrived, Xia Zhi was finally freed from the doorway.

"Mr. Zhongli, let's go, let's go see the opera."

"Ah."

Zhongli's face also showed a hint of relief.

He's already retired...

Once they reached the stage, Xia Zhi found her seat.

Just like last time, he was seated next to a goddess and a goddess.

The only difference is that the goddess's other half is another goddess.

Four deities sat below the stage, eagerly watching; Miss Yun Jin's new play certainly had some prestige.

It's so much better than that grand theater in Fontainebleau.

Charlotte stood in a suitable position and continued taking pictures of Xia Zhi.

Ou Fu reappeared behind her at some point and patted her on the shoulder.

Charlotte was startled.

"Wow! Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu! How come you walk so quietly!"

"You're taking it too seriously. What were you filming just now?"

"Just...shoot some lively scenes."

"Really? I saw you taking pictures of Principal Xia the whole time. I thought you'd switched from being a senior reporter to a paparazzi."
