Heyu Tea House!

Because Yun Jin, the head of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe, had a new play today, the tea house had been packed since after noon, bustling with activity.

"So many people!"

Paimon was extremely excited by the sea of people below the stage, the little one constantly looking around behind Hearing Luo Li.

Lumine was also curious about this; she had never listened to a play before.

On the other side, Lady Ganyu whispered the meaning of the play to her junior sister Shenhe.

After having the good fortune to hear it last time, she had also developed a strong interest in plays and fell in love with this form of entertainment.

Unfortunately, there had always been endless work, not to mention the various matters piled up these days; where would she find the time?

Entering the tea house, Fan Erye discovered the group immediately. Knowing they were distinguished guests, he hurriedly took him and the group of young ladies to a private room on the second floor.

Yun Jin, who was warming up on stage, also saw Hearing Luo Li and the others and showed a sweet smile, making many people's hearts flutter for a moment.

Arriving at the private room, Hearing Luo Li found that everyone had arrived.

"Why did you only just arrive? It's almost starting." Resting her long, bright legs on the armrest of the rocking chair, Eula, who was half-lying down, supported her chin with a somewhat arrogant air.

Hearing Luo Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems you've rested completely these past few days. Do you want to try drinking the rest of the Abyssal Essence?"

Eula pouted her lips slightly and refused: "Uh... that won't be necessary."

"Move over a bit."

Sitting down right next to her without ceremony, Hearing Luo Li felt the young lady's soft skin under the reproachful gaze of Raiden Makoto nearby.

Noelle delivered tea on time, perfectly fulfilling what a maid should do.

Raiden Makoto greeted Shenhe and Lady Ganyu to come to her side.

Lumine and Paimon looked left and right, and finally came to sit cross-legged on the independent cushions nearby.

"These guys look just like a family." Paimon whispered.

Lumine couldn't help but agree; the atmosphere was indeed harmonious.

One could see Lady Ganyu whispering with Shenhe, the two sisters who could barely be called fellow disciples were exchanging their respective insights.

Pretending not to see Eula's small action of carefully resting her long legs on Hearing Hearing Luo Li knees, while the play hadn't started yet.

Raiden Makoto asked softly: "Are you really prepared?"

Hearing Luo Li naturally knew what she meant; it was nothing more than heading to Inazuma.

He didn't feel it in Mondstadt or Liyue, but when it was truly time to return to Inazuma, there was a bit of homesickness.

"It doesn't matter to me, but what about you? Are you prepared to have a showdown with your sister?"

The teasing tone made Raiden Makoto roll her eyes at him and ask back: "Whose fault do you think it is?"

"Alright, alright, my fault."

Not only can you not reason with women, but goddesses are the same.

Gently pressing Eula's proud long legs, Hearing Luo Li sighed softly: "I don't know how many old friends I can still see today."

Mentioning this topic, even Raiden Makoto fell silent.

Scenes from the past flooded her mind: under the Sacred Sakura tree, Kitsune Saiguu and the Oni girl performing a dance before the throne, Ei trying her best to practice the card game, and the smiling face that bloomed after winning.

Gazing into the unknown distance, Raiden Makoto's eyes were somewhat dazed.

Five hundred years have passed, and time has wiped away everything.

Fortunately, the sad memories lasted only for a moment and were soon diluted by the lively atmosphere in the room.

Sweeping her gaze over the girls whispering and laughing, Raiden Makoto also let out a faint smile.

She was not a person who mourned the spring and grieved the autumn; all the past was a dream bubble. Unlike Ei, Makoto focused more on the present, enjoying everything brought by the "moment."

"Everyone from the past should be waiting for us to return."

Comforting Hearing Luo Li in turn, Raiden Makoto gently held his hand, breathing hot air softly.

After you go over and settle everything, I will go back with you.

Thinking that after Ei is coaxed by him, she shouldn't blame her sister for snatching a man, right?

Makoto had her own little schemes inside, but her face remained unchanged.

Truly, women are born actors.

Hearing Luo Li never expected that Raiden Makoto would also have times when she calculated against him, letting him find a way to extinguish Raiden Ei's grievances and anger while she hid behind.

No wonder she could play pranks on her sister; essentially, this person was also quite mischievous.

Of course, in Raiden Makoto's words, she was influenced and contaminated by Hearing Luo Li.

"Look, everyone, it's starting!"

Just at this moment, Paimon suddenly pointed at the stage and shouted.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the old performers had already left the stage, leaving only Yun Jin in her crown and ornate robes.

The young lady wore light makeup, and her brows carried a natural charm.

First, she glanced at the private room where Hearing Luo Li was, and then Yun Jin pinched her fingers and cleared her throat, preparing to start.

The next moment, the long musical instruments played by the old performers in the background rang out.

The crisp sound like jade beads falling on a plate opened the prelude.

"Sigh—"

The moment the opera singing began, the stunningly soft and glutinous voice went straight to the bottom of the heart.

The audience closed their eyes slightly, enjoying the new play from Master Yun.
