After binding Xiao to the nation's fate, Wendy and Xiao began dating openly in Teyvat.
As for the monsters of Dihua Island, it was handled by Fanan. Zhongli also felt that having Xiao suppress monsters in Dihua Island for thousands of years was really detrimental to the child's freedom (?), so he generously let Wendy take Xiao away.
Xiao was initially reluctant, as he felt it violated his contract with Zhongli. Zhongli had naturally considered this, but he suggested that a proper rest would be better for Xiao, and since Xiao had been staying in Liyue for years, it would be better for him to go somewhere else and experience the local customs.
After being persuaded by Wendy and Zhongli, Xiao finally agreed to go out.
"Should we go back to Mondstadt first?" Wendy and Xiao set off from Wangshu Inn, passing through the stone gate. Along the way, Wendy hovered around Xiao like a little elf. "Whatever you say." Xiao felt a little uneasy; after all, without the monsters around, this rare relaxation was making him a bit uncomfortable. "Oh dear, oh dear, I told you it's a rare and wonderful holiday. Mortals need rest, and we gods and immortals need rest too!" Walking onto the wooden bridge, seeing the fish swimming happily below, a hint of envy flickered in Wendy's eyes.
"Ah, um..." Xiao's gaze fell on the Hilichurls dozing not far away, and he sometimes realized that Hilichurls also had their own lives.
After realizing that Xiao wasn't leaving, Venti looked at the Hilichurls, then at Xiao, and quickly pulled him to her side. Xiao was lost in thought when Venti pulled him away.
"Let's go, let's go, otherwise at our current pace we won't be able to enter the Mondstadt region until tomorrow." Wendy said with a straight face, talking nonsense.
"..." Xiao really didn't want to expose Wendy's clumsy lie. If Wendy wanted to, he could easily reach Mondstadt in a day, and maybe even make it in time for dinner. However, Xiao didn't call Wendy out. The two walked slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way, until dandelions appeared in Wendy's eyes.
"Haha, it's a dandelion, Xiao. We've arrived in Mondstadt." Wendy picked a dandelion and handed it to Xiao like a treasure. "Here, try blowing on it." "...Sigh." Although Xiao wanted to refuse, Wendy's eyes were too bright, making him reluctant to refuse. He had no choice but to take it and examine it carefully in his hand.
I touched it; it was very soft, just like Wendy's skin. A pinch would turn a large red patch. The light blue color easily reminded me of Wendy's eyes and her delicate lips...
Stop! What are you thinking?!
Wendy saw a blush creeping up Xiao's fair ears and immediately understood what Xiao was thinking. She became a little sulky and then pinched Xiao's cheeks.
"Phew." Xiao quickly blew the dandelion in his hand away. The dandelion drifted away in the wind, and Wendy silently watched the dandelion until it disappeared from sight.
“Look, that’s Dawn Winery over there, Lord Diluc’s estate. Hehe, there’s a lot of good wine stored in that cellar.” Wendy climbed up a hill and pointed to the red roof in the distance, his voice filled with excitement. He could already smell the aroma of wine wafting from Dawn Winery.
Mmm~ The flavor is rich; it's clearly a fine wine that's been aged for many years. If I were to take just one sip, Wendy would feel like she's in heaven~
Although he is already a god, that doesn't change the fact that a professional god and a god in one's perception are not the same god!
Xiao crossed his arms. The aroma of the wine in his nose was indeed one he had never smelled in Liyue before. Unlike the wine in Liyue, which was mellow and rich, the wine in Mondstadt had a fruity aroma mixed with other flavors. It was neither abrupt nor unpleasant, as if it were a natural product.
"Ah, it's dandelion and grapes." Wendy quickly recognized the ingredients in the scent. Xiao was taken aback. So it was the smell of dandelion? No wonder Wendy smelled of something other than wine and fruit.
"Hurry, if we go back to Mondstadt now, we might still make it in time for dinner." Venti held Xiao's hands, pure wind elemental power surrounding them. The next second, Venti and Xiao were already standing in a small alley in Mondstadt.
“Welcome to the free city of Mondstadt, dear Xiao.” Wendy smiled, her eyes sparkling, as she looked against the sunlight. Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. “What are you daydreaming about? Let’s go.” Wendy pulled Xiao out of the alley.
The setting sun shone on Xiao, who turned around and looked back. The dark alley seemed to be his past, and the smiling god in front of him was the future he had chosen. Xiao did not regret it, and even felt happy about it.
At the Deer Hunter restaurant, Wendy ordered a roasted steak, a vegetable salad, and a glass of juice. She pushed the order in front of Xiao, her eyes sparkling and her face full of anticipation: "Try it, Xiao. The Deer Hunter's cooking is quite good." "Okay." Xiao thought for a moment, then awkwardly used his knife and fork to cut off a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth.
The aroma of the grilled ribs burst in his mouth, and Xiao's gaze softened slightly. Although he wasn't particularly picky about taste—as long as it filled his stomach—this grilled rib was indeed delicious. "Hehe, I knew it! Grilled ribs are definitely best eaten while they're hot." Seeing Xiao's expression, Wendy laughed even more heartily.
"Next, I'll take you to a shop I know in Mondstadt. How long have you been wearing this outfit? Now that you're in Mondstadt, you should wear Mondstadt clothes. Don't worry, I'm a regular at that shop." Wendy saw Xiao slowly eating his vegetable salad and wasn't in a hurry. The Angel's Gift event was much more lively at night. Going now would mean having drinks, but it would lack the atmosphere.
"Mondstadt's... clothes?" Xiao felt a little uneasy. Mondstadt's clothes looked good on Wendy, but they might not look good on him. He was afraid that if he didn't look good, Wendy would laugh at him.
"Oh, it's okay. At worst, I'll have it custom-made for you. Custom-made clothes will be a bit more expensive, but there will be many more options. You have to trust my taste," Wendy said confidently. "Okay," Xiao nodded. He trusted Wendy; even if the outfit was a little ugly, his face should be able to pull it off...
Xiao touched his own face, then looked at Wendy's face, and suddenly felt a little insecure.
