The arrival of the Liyue group was naturally met with a warm welcome from Miyashiro, and the presence of friends and family from her homeland undoubtedly gave Shenhe, as a Liyue native, a greater sense of intimacy and belonging.
Especially when Xiangling prepared Liyue-style nutritious meals for Shenhe, and Yun Jin privately performed the divine damsel of devastation for Shenhe once again, a faint smile would always appear on Shenhe's face, as if her thoughts were instantly pulled back to Liyue.
Pregnant women are always more sensitive than usual. After Yun Jin finished her song, Shenhe remained immersed in it for a long time, unable to extricate herself. Finally, she came back to her senses and said to Miyashiro, "Miyashiro, I miss our home in Liyue a bit."
Upon hearing Shenhe's reply, Miyashiro's nose tingled, and he held Shenhe's hand with great tenderness.
He thought of Shenhe, a Liyue native, traveling across the ocean to marry into Inazuma. Not only was she unfamiliar with the people and places, but even Miyashiro himself was often busy with state affairs and neglected Shenhe. If it weren't for Ganyu and Yelan being stationed in Inazuma to keep Shenhe company, he truly didn't know how Shenhe would have endured this period.
Miyashiro naturally knew that the 'home in Liyue' Shenhe spoke of was not the cave dwelling on Mt. Aocang, but the incredibly simple cave dwelling on Tianheng Mountain.
Although the Regents Office residence, compared to the cave heaven on Tianheng Mountain, was far superior in both architecture and decor, that was where Shenhe and Miyashiro fell in love. It was their own little world, undisturbed by others, so it was no wonder Shenhe often thought of it.
Miyashiro smiled knowingly and said, "After our wedding, we'll go on our honeymoon. The first stop will be our little home in Liyue, how does that sound?"
Shenhe's eyes seemed to Bloom with light after hearing Miyashiro's words, but then she deliberately extinguished the light and said, "You are now Inazuma Regent. Matters of state and military rest on your shoulders alone. How can you abandon all of Inazuma for me?"
Miyashiro said with some emotion, "At this moment, I actually wish you would act a bit like a spoiled woman. You don't need to worry about Inazuma. I'll have my shadow clones handle things. If we wait until the child in your belly is born, you'll probably be even less free."
Shadow clones: I really appreciate it, believe it or not, I'll commit seppuku in a minute!
Upon hearing this, Shenhe subconsciously touched her slightly plump lower abdomen and nodded with a gentle gaze.
Just then, a fair-skinned young man, somewhat similar in appearance to Shenhe, timidly approached Shenhe and Miyashiro, urged on by his friend Xingqiu.
Miyashiro and Shenhe had naturally noticed this handsome young boy with a Cryo Vision long ago, especially his resemblance to Shenhe, which unsettled Shenhe. Miyashiro, holding Shenhe's hand, could feel the unusual tension in her grip.
Xingqiu bowed generously to the two and said, "Yu... no, I should now call you Regent and Regent's Wife. Congratulations on your impending happy event, and I wish you both a long and happy life together."
Miyashiro smiled and said, "Young Xingqiu, we are old friends. This is at home, not outside, so just call Shenhe and me as you always have. Speaking of which, you played a part in Shenhe and I getting together. Hmm? And who is this beside you?"
Xingqiu openly pulled Chongyun in front of him and introduced him, "This is my good friend, Chongyun, from a Liyue Exorcist family."
Chongyun stammered, "A-auntie, u-uncle, hello."
The words 'auntie' and 'uncle' made Miyashiro very happy. When Shenhe heard the word 'auntie', her thoughts slowly drifted back to her childhood. She had thought that in this world, besides Miyashiro and her master, she had no other relatives. She never expected that she would actually have a blood relationship with the main branch of an Exorcist family.
Shenhe just smiled and nodded at him, while Miyashiro, beside her, generously declared, "Chongyun, right? Hello, hello. Don't be constrained at your auntie's and uncle's house. Just treat it like your own home. Tell your uncle if you want anything, and your uncle will arrange it for you."
In that short sentence, Miyashiro emphasized 'uncle' three times, indicating how much he truly liked the title, which made both Shenhe and Xingqiu, who were nearby, a little speechless.
Xingqiu: "Haha, this is also the wonder of fate. Even when we first met, I felt that Mr. Miyashiro was no ordinary person. As expected, once he entered Inazuma, he transformed into a dragon."
Miyashiro teased, "At that time, didn't you think I was a pauper who couldn't even afford a storage fee?"
Xingqiu: "That's wrong. After all, a pauper wouldn't have a mountain-carrying, exceptionally graceful fairy accompanying him."
Shenhe said faintly, "Even if Miyashiro really became a pauper, I would still follow him. When I was with him, he wasn't Inazuma Regent yet."
Miyashiro smiled, "Yes, yes, my wife is right!"
Hearing Miyashiro call her 'my wife' in public, Shenhe's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly. She quickly pulled her hand away from Miyashiro's tight grip and, in embarrassment and anger, pinched the soft flesh on Miyashiro's lower back, making Miyashiro grimace.
However, after their playful banter, Miyashiro very naturally took Shenhe's hand again and gently played with it, while Shenhe, with a helpless expression, indulged Miyashiro.
Watching Miyashiro and Shenhe openly displaying their affection, Xingqiu and Chongyun, who stood nearby, felt a bit awkward, especially Chongyun, who possessed the rare Pure Yang constitution.
The name Pure Yang constitution sounds very grand, but in the world of Teyvat, this Pure Yang constitution seems rather 'low-tier'.
It is merely an extremely rare heat-prone physique. Yang energy flows throughout his body, and if he's not careful, he'll fall into a state of hot-headedness, causing his temperament to change drastically, and afterwards, he'll be completely unaware of his actions.
Therefore, to counteract the Pure Yang constitution, Chongyun has followed these principles in his daily life since he was young: avoid direct sunlight, do not drink hot water, do not eat hot food, avoid spicy foods, do not wear thick clothes, do not argue, and do not get angry.
But now, Chongyun seemed to have discovered that his summarized principles were missing one more thing: he couldn't eat 'dog food' (public displays of affection)!
Watching Miyashiro and Shenhe's loving expressions, Chongyun found that the Yang energy in his body was on the verge of losing control. He looked distressed and quickly tried to find his special ice pops to suppress the Yang energy, but he couldn't find them.
Chongyun's unusual behavior naturally caught the attention of Miyashiro and Shenhe. Xingqiu, who was familiar with Chongyun's condition, secretly thought, 'Not good.' He had swapped all of Chongyun's ice pops earlier to tease him when he wasn't looking, but he didn't expect him to lose his composure in front of Miyashiro. This was trouble.
