Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Chapter 272 Hai Deng Chapter

Ganyu looked around and said seriously, "For the next few days, I have to stay at Yuehai Pavilion to handle matters related to the Sea Lantern Festival and ensure that the festival goes smoothly."

Yaoyao tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Master hasn't assigned me any tasks, so why don't I come and lend a hand to Senior Sister Xiangling over the next few days?"

Xiangling caressed Yaoyao's head lovingly and said, "Yaoyao is such a sensible and good child. Senior Sister, of course, welcomes your help. But you're still too young now. Wait until you grow up a bit, at least as tall as Senior Sister, and then come help, okay?"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yaoyao's eyes, but she quickly nodded vigorously and energetically: "Okay! I will definitely grow up quickly, and then I will be able to help Senior Sister even more!"

Shuili patted Yaoyao's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Your senior sister is worried about you and is afraid that you will be tired. I plan to go shopping in the next few days and buy some lanterns and other things to decorate the house."

Xianyun clapped his hands and agreed, "Xiao Li, this is a good suggestion. Count me in. Yaoyao, why don't you come with me and decorate Bai Lu Shuang Hua and Wan Min Tang beautifully together? Your master will definitely not object."

Yaoyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she said happily, "Okay, I'll listen to Aunt Xianyun!"

Shen He, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up: "I'll come too."

Xiangling nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you for your help. I've been busy preparing the special dishes for the Lantern Festival these days and can't spare the time. When I'm done with this, I'll treat everyone to a delicious meal!"

Yaoyao clenched her fists and said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Xiangling, I will make Wanmin Hall look even better than last year!"

Shuili excitedly took Yaoyao and Shenhe's hands and said, "Then let's set off tomorrow! I know a place where the lanterns and ornaments are all carefully made by craftsmen. They are very charming."

Shen He nodded slightly and said seriously: "Although I don't understand much about these, I can do the work of moving things."

Gan Yu looked at the sky and said helplessly, "I have to go back to Yuehai Pavilion to continue working. I will definitely come during the Lantern Festival."

"Senior Sister, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself. We also need to go back and prepare." Linghua responded with a smile.

As the Lantern Festival approaches, the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor are immersed in a thick festive atmosphere. People are making final preparations for this grand celebration, eagerly anticipating the dazzling display of colors that will bring them together for a feast of reunion and joy.

Three days later, the Lantern Festival finally arrived, and Liyue Harbor instantly transformed into a sea of ​​joy, with lights and colorful decorations adorning the landscape. Wanmin Hall was adorned with a festive atmosphere, with large red lanterns hanging high above. Wooden ornaments at the entrance swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a rustic charm. Inside, the artificial flowers and plants throbbed with vibrant life, seeming to bring the energy of spring. A dazzling array of adorable small pendants filled the space, and every detail embodied the festive atmosphere.

A long line had already formed outside Wanmin Hall, diners captivated by the lively atmosphere. Xiangling was bustling in the kitchen, whipping up delicious Hai Lantern Festival specialties one after another, filling the entire kitchen with enticing aromas.

Bai Lu Shuang Hua's shop was equally bustling with people, drawing numerous glances. The goldfish ornaments Xiao Gong had helped select swayed in the breeze by the window, seemingly swimming joyfully in the water. The delicate orchids complemented the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, creating an elegant and warm atmosphere. Business was so booming that even Gan Yu, who had come to offer her well wishes, had a hard time squeezing in.

Ganyu panted and said with a smile, "Happy Lantern Festival, Junior Sister. Your business is so popular that it feels like everyone in Liyue Harbor is here."

Linghua quickly handed Ganyu a glass of water and said, "This was all Xinyang's idea. He spread the word yesterday that the Bailu Shuanghua Lantern Festival would only be open for one morning."

"Business is so good, why are you only open for one morning?"

"Because we have to celebrate the festival too!" Linghua explained with a smile. "In Xinyang's words, the meaning of the Lantern Festival is to gather with family and friends, enjoying reunion and joy. If we are always busy with business, we will be putting the cart before the horse. And the limited hours make everyone cherish this precious shopping time even more. So far, it seems that the effect is really good."

After hearing this, Gan Yu couldn't help but smile in appreciation. "You're truly worthy of being called Junior Brother. You didn't delay the holiday, and you quickly boosted the store's popularity. Killing two birds with one stone. It seems I really need to learn from you."

Just then, Xinyang, who had helped Ying deliver the last takeaway order, returned to the store.

"Hey, senior sister, happy Lantern Festival!" Xinyang walked in with a smile, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, obviously she had hurried all the way here.

"Happy Lantern Festival, little junior brother. I'm increasingly understanding why Master likes you so much," Ganyu said with a smile. "Your head is always filled with novel and practical ideas. You combine work and rest, and always achieve twice the result with half the effort. I'm even thinking of inviting you to Yuehai Pavilion for help."

Xinyang smiled sheepishly, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. I just wanted to be lazy and finish my work early so I could celebrate the holidays with everyone. I didn't expect it to have this unexpected effect."

Ying followed Xinyang back to Bailu Shuanghua. Paimeng leaned on Ying's shoulder and said, "I'm so tired. I'm so tired. We're about to leave Liyue, and we still have to deliver so many takeouts. Xinyang must be trying to squeeze every last bit of value out of us."

"Who said bad things about me?" Xinyang's voice came.

Paimon was startled. "You...why are you here? Didn't you help us deliver food?"

"You know I delivered food for you, but you still say bad things about me behind my back. I guess you don't want your bonus anymore."

When Paimeng heard the word "bonus", his eyes widened instantly. He flew in front of Xinyang in panic, clasped his hands together and shook them desperately: "No, no, no, it's okay if I was wrong! I was just talking casually. Please be magnanimous, but please don't deduct my bonus. I was counting on using this money to buy a lot of delicious food!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Paimon's panicked look.

Shuili teased, "Paimeng, your expression changes faster than those actors. You were complaining just now, and begging for mercy the next second."

Paimon looked at everyone pitifully and muttered, "I'm doing this for the bonus. Delivering food these past few days has worn me out. But then again, when I was delivering food today, I saw a lot of people discussing the activities for this year's Lantern Festival. When can we go out and play?"

"Aren't you flying in the sky? It's always been Ying who's delivering food. I think the bonus should be given to Ying. As for your share, just treat it as a subsidy for Ying."

Paimon was not annoyed. "Flying is tiring too. Just give it to Ying. She'll end up in my stomach anyway."

"Nana, why are we closing the store?"

Nana Shikano took over the conversation: "It's almost time. We close at noon, and there's less than an hour left."
