Chapter 34 Nashida and Yaoyao
Liu Bai brought Nashida all the way to the Heyu Teahouse across the street, bought tickets and entered the theater smoothly.
There was no performance by Yunjin today, so it wasn't as popular as before at Heyu Teahouse, but there were still quite a few people.
After all, although Yun Jin did not go on stage, other members of the Yunhan Society still performed on stage, and it was impossible for the entire troupe to stop operating and take a break.
What made Liu Bai feel regretful was that Zhongli, the guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, was not there.
Since no one helped to reserve a seat, Liu Bai had to find a seat by himself and took Nashida to sit at the same table with the strangers.
"Um……?"
As soon as he sat down, Liu Bai felt someone was staring at him, so he raised his head in confusion.
Opposite the table Liu Bai chose, two men were staring at Liu Bai. One had brown hair with a hint of dark red, and the other had brown hair with a hint of gray-green. Both of them had their hands folded on their chests and their faces were serious.
"Uh...what do you two need? Is this your friend's location?"
Liu Bai was sure that he didn't know them, so he had to ask with some uncertainty.
"Humph, how dare you..."
"Uncle Xueyue, I bought the tea you ordered~"
Just when the other party was about to speak, a voice that Liu Bai was somewhat familiar with came over.
Liu Bai looked back and found that it was the little girl with two big bells on her head, Yaoyao.
"Eh? Big brother, and big brother's sister, good afternoon~ I didn't say hello to you this morning. Do you want to try the tea Yaoyao bought?"
Yaoyao also noticed Liu Bai at this time and greeted him with a smile.
When Liu Bai forcibly took her away, she was very scared, but she pretended to be calm on the surface.
But after returning to her master and after he left, Yaoyao recalled her experiences with him and realized that he was not a bad person.
"Good afternoon~"
Liu Bai and Nashida raised their hands together to respond to Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao, don't talk to strangers, or you'll be taught bad things."
Hearing Yaoyao's words, the two people who were staring at Liu Bai turned around quickly, and one of them gave Yaoyao an earnest instruction.
"Eh? But I saw Big Brother last time, and Master said he's not a bad guy."
Yaoyao didn’t quite understand the reactions of these two uncles.
"Hey, you two, you were staring at me just now, and that's fine, but now you're targeting me, right?"
Hearing these two people asking Yaoyao to stay away from him, Liu Bai said with some dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, Ben...I don't want to fight you in the city, but I just don't like you."
The man who looked older crossed his arms, snorted coldly, and turned his head away.
"Uncle Xieyue, please stop quarreling. You are not allowed to quarrel."
Yaoyao felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly went over to stop the two people who were glaring at Liu Bai.
"For Yaoyao's sake, we won't make things difficult for you. You can take care of yourself."
Being stopped by Yaoyao, the two had to give up.
"Tsk, this is inexplicable... Girl, do you want some tea? I'll make you some."
Liu Bai curled his lips, then turned around and asked Nashida who was sitting next to him.
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Narcida nodded expectantly.
Then Liu Bai took the tea leaves given by Yaoyao who sat down and started to make tea for himself.
Yaoyao also took action herself and made rich and mellow tea for her two uncles.
After making the tea, Yaoyao secretly looked at Nashida next to Liu Bai.
Nashida was blowing gently on the boiling hot tea. When she noticed Yaoyao's gaze, she gave her a gentle smile.
"Hello~"
Nashida was the first to greet Yaoyao.
"Hello, my name is Yaoyao."
Yaoyao quickly raised a hand to respond to Nashida. She was very happy to meet a child of the same age.
After all, there are actually very few people of her age around her, and the only one she is relatively familiar with is Qiqi from Bubulu.
"Well, you can call me Nashida."
Nashida responded with a chuckle, and then the two sat together and chatted. Their relationship seemed to be progressing rapidly.
Liu Bai glanced at the two little girls, then returned his gaze to the performance on the stage.
Yaoyao's two uncles had similar reactions, except that they would occasionally glance at Liu Bai and then say something in a low voice.
"Qiqi? Is she the little zombie from Bubulu? I've seen her there before. She's very cute."
Nashida and Yaoyao's attention was not on the stage at all. After Yaoyao started talking about friends, Nashida thought for a moment before responding.
"Yes, Qiqi is very cute... What about you, Nashida? Do you have any good friends in Xumi?"
Yaoyao nodded in agreement, then asked Nashida curiously.
When she was chatting with Nashida just now, she already knew that although Nashida was now wearing traditional Liyue clothes, she came from Xumi.
"Yes, I have many, many friends. Every night I play with them in my dreams... But after leaving Xumi, I can't contact them for the time being."
Nashida did not hide anything and explained her situation to Yaoyao. In the end, she could only spread her hands helplessly.
"I see, that's pretty impressive..."
Yaoyao didn’t quite understand what Nashida said. Playing with them in the dream... ?
"Well, in that case, why not let Yaoyao be Nashida's friend during our stay in Liyue~"
Yaoyao didn't continue to worry about it because she couldn't figure it out. Instead, she took Nashida's hands and spoke happily.
"Hehe, okay, thank you for troubling Yaoyao~"
Nashida also happily agreed.
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. Next time when you're free, Yaoyao will take you to find Qiqi. She will definitely like to be friends with you."
Yaoyao patted her chest and said.
……
Yaoyao's two uncles seemed very dissatisfied with Liu Bai, but they didn't pay much attention to Liu Bai afterwards, but focused more on the performance on the stage.
Liu Bai's attention was also focused on the stage, while Nashida and Yaoyao were playing cat's tangle with the rope, which was condensed from the element of grass.
Time passed unknowingly, and the performance on the stage ended. Later, it was replaced by the storytelling session of Tea Doctor Liu Su. This is a permanent project of Heyu Teahouse during the period when Yunhan Society has no performances.
But it was already getting late, and many people were planning to leave, including Liu Bai, Yaoyao and her two uncles.
"Goodbye, Nashida. Come to Yujingtai to play with me when you have time. I'm usually at Master's place."
Yaoyao reluctantly took Nashida's hand and said goodbye to her.
"Well, I will."
Nashida responded gently, and then left Heyu Teahouse with Liu Bai.
"Oh, by the way, I wanted to buy some food this morning but ended up doing nothing all day. It should be in time for us to go now. Girl, let's go."
After leaving Heyu Teahouse and arriving on the street of Feiyunpo, Liu Bai remembered this incident. After saying something, he immediately took Nashida's hand and walked towards Chihuyan.
