Little Eula's interpersonal relationships are worse than I imagined. At this point in time, she doesn't even know Amber yet.
That means we really can't go to Mondstadt.
Getting dirty looks is something I've gotten used to while hanging out with little Hu Tao.
Little Eula is indeed quite strong,
but forcing a child to constantly live in a city that discriminates against her background—
what's the difference between that and school bullying?
No choice then. It looks like the meeting with little Barbara has to be postponed.
I can only write a letter to little Barbara myself to express my apologies.
Old uncle took out a piece of paper and explained to little Barbara that he encountered a pitiful little girl from the Lawrence family in Dragonspine,
and to prevent little Barbara or the adults around her from misunderstanding anything, old uncle especially emphasized in the letter that he was taking this Lawrence family girl to "reform through labor,"
and expressed his belief that this Lawrence girl would undergo a great change, and absolutely wouldn't be like those Lawrence people in Mondstadt who look down on others with dog eyes.
At the end, he didn't forget to reinforce the promise with little Barbara, saying that once this Lawrence child grows up, he would go find little Barbara to fulfill the appointment.
Old uncle checked the wording again—overall there shouldn't be any issues. Even if little Barbara showed the letter to the adults around her, they probably wouldn't think he was some creepy old man.
Then tomorrow, I'll trouble the researcher studying Dragonspine at the foot of the mountain to help mail this letter.
And there's some good news right now.
A half-grown kid can eat their old man out of house and home.
Although little Eula is a girl, her appetite is huge.
The food I originally estimated would last half a month feels like it's almost gone in less than ten days.
"Perfect! Eula, let's set off for Liyue!"
Cid the old uncle happily pinched little Eula's cheeks.
"Mmm… I know…"
Aiya~
Little Eula has gotten chubbier from my care~
The feel is so good.
It gives old uncle the feeling that he could rub them as long as he wants.
With little Hu Tao, after all she's younger, even poking her cheek with a finger feels like water would come out, making old uncle not dare to touch little Hu Tao's face much.
Little Eula looked at Cid the old uncle's expression and felt quite helpless.
Clearly, after her grooming, he looks like a dashing young man, but as soon as he speaks or makes a move, he exudes this uncle vibe.
Speaking of which, should she take the opportunity to teach old uncle some etiquette?
Little Eula suddenly recalled the scene where Cid the old uncle previously bluffed her cousin.
Those movements gave off a very seasoned feel—clearly not adhering to etiquette, yet exuding a mature aura.
Cid saw that little Eula's face had turned red from his rubbing and obediently let go.
There should still be some moderation in doing certain things. Although little Eula wouldn't object,
but taking advantage of her not objecting to casually touch her—that would make him no different from a bully, right?
Speaking of which, little Hu Tao's tastes are quite different from Eula's.
Little Hu Tao likes things that highlight the fresh flavor and unique taste of food.
Anything too bland…
There's something most people probably don't know: Hu Tao is one of the few who doesn't like Golden Shrimp Balls.
But she does like Stir-Fried Shrimp.
She doesn't like Buckled Three Silks.
She visibly doesn't like Mondstadt cuisine.
Last time, the old Hall Master fed little Hu Tao a piece of Manor Baked Pancake, and after one bite, little Hu Tao clearly didn't like it.
In the end, she directly handed it to Cid the old uncle.
And Cid the old uncle tore off the part with little Hu Tao's saliva on it, then gnawed the rest, feeling that the dish actually tasted pretty good.
Cid the old uncle smiled. Is this nostalgia because we're heading back to Liyue?
Why have I been thinking about little Hu Tao so much lately?
"Eula, let's pack up the luggage first. Later I'll store it in the space of my Vision."
"Okay." Little Eula responded and began a big cleanup.
Speaking of which, aside from talking a lot in the evenings by the campfire, little Eula doesn't show any lively childlike behavior at all.
She's really quite the opposite of little Hu Tao.
Speaking of which, if these two meet in Liyue, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Think about it carefully: Amber is Pyro, Hu Tao is also Pyro—both will be energetic girls in the future.
One 4-star, one 5-star—it should count as an upgrade, right?
Cid the old uncle sensed the unease in his heart.
There probably won't be big issues, right?
After all, in their respective cities, both belong to the category of people discriminated against as unlucky…
Don't panic—old uncle will pull in Rex Lapis to jointly protect your growth!
