Chapter 547
Now that Little Ayaka is so sad, there must be another reason.
The few little ones nearby also noticed the unusually sad Little Ayaka behind them upon hearing Jiang Yan's voice and immediately grew concerned.
Facing Jiang Yan's inquiry and the care of her companions, Little Ayaka said with a aggrieved expression:
"After tonight, the Irodori Festival in Inazuma will end."
"Everyone will have to return to Liyue."
"Ayaka, Ayaka can't bear for everyone to leave..."
Kamisato Ayaka also wanted to go to Liyue to play with Jiang Yan and the others.
But there are many matters at home, plus some school-related issues, so she cannot go to Liyue again in the short term.
So the little one, thinking that Jiang Yan and the others would leave Inazuma, couldn't help but feel sad.
"Silly girl."
Seeing Ayaka's sad and distressed look, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly and reached out to rub Little Ayaka's small head.
"Liyue is ultimately our home; we cannot stay here forever."
"Little Ayaka can come to Liyue to find Brother Jiang Yan anytime in the future."
"In Liyue, there will always be a place for Little Ayaka in Brother Jiang Yan's home."
Kamisato Ayaka also understood the reasons Jiang Yan had spoken.
So, she raised her head and said in a milky voice to Jiang Yan:
"I know all the things Brother Jiang Yan said..."
Saying this, she paused for a moment and continued:
"But, before Big Brother leaves, can Ayaka make a small request?"
Little Ayaka tugged at Jiang Yan's hem, her watery big eyes sparkling.
"Hmm? What request?"
Seeing Little Ayaka's appearance, Jiang Yan asked with a smile.
"Hmm... it's just that Ayaka wants Big Brother and Ningguang and the others to sleep at my house tonight."
"Okay? Tomorrow you will leave, and Ayaka can't bear for you to go."
Ayaka's eyes flickered as she looked at Jiang Yan.
Hearing the little girl's cute idea, Jiang Yan suddenly laughed.
"Of course, Brother Jiang Yan can agree to this request."
"However, you must go tell Ningguang and the others yourself."
Hearing that Jiang Yan had agreed to her request, Little Ayaka's eyes lit up.
"Okay!"
After speaking, Ayaka turned and went over to Little Ningguang and the others, seemingly saying something.
Regarding Ayaka's request, Ningguang and the other four little ones, like Yan's Statement, definitely agreed.
Thus, Jiang Yan and Ningguang and the other four little ones decided to stay overnight at the Kamisato residence tonight.
As for Ganyu and Raiden Makoto and the others, they went to the Tenkyo Pavilion to rest; after all, this was Jiang Yan and the little ones saying goodbye to Ayaka, so they would not accompany them tonight.
Night.
Kamisato Estate.
In Kamisato Ayaka's private room, Kamisato Ayaka, Jiang Yan, and Ningguang and the other four little ones were gathered together.
Little Ayaka moved a small stool and sat beside Jiang Yan with Ningguang and the others.
She looked up at the moon outside the window, gently swinging her little feet.
Even though they were doing nothing right now, as long as Jiang Yan was by her side, Little Ayaka felt that everything was beautiful.
But this beauty would not last long; Brother Jiang Yan and the others would leave Inazuma and return tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Kamisato Ayaka felt sad again.
In the past, she always looked forward to the new day arriving sooner.
Because whenever a new day arrived, it meant the time for her to meet Brother Jiang Yan was closer.
But now, she wished time would move slower, preferably staying at this very moment forever.
She could now say she did not expect the arrival of tomorrow at all.
Seeming to see Kamisato Ayaka's reluctance, Jiang Yan reached out, rubbed the little one's small head, and said gently:
"Little Ayaka, there is no need to be so sad."
"Even if we have a brief parting, we will still meet again, won't we?"
Hearing Jiang Yan's comfort, Ayaka nodded.
"Hmm, Ayaka knows."
"Ayaka will grow up quickly in the future and then accompany Brother Jiang Yan every day."
Little Ayaka spoke as if she had set some kind of goal.
Jiang Yan smiled.
"Silly girl."
Ayaka, being a child, naturally did not know what this sentence meant.
And Jiang Yan did not take it to heart, thinking the other party had merely made a joke.
Time did not move slower as Little Ayaka wished.
Unknowingly, Little Ayaka, unable to resist her drowsiness, fell asleep leaning against Jiang Yan's chest.
As if afraid she would not see Jiang Yan upon waking, the little girl, even while asleep, tightly clutched Jiang Yan's clothes and refused to let go.
Truly a clingy little one.
Jiang Yan did not mind these things, letting the little girl in his arms tug at his clothes.
He carefully held little Ling Hua as he stood up, not waking the sleeping Ling Hua.
After gently placing her on the bed and settling her down.
Jiang Yan looked at the other children, signaling them to go back and rest.
