"Sister Bai, did you really screen these?"
Fang Qiu's pretty face darkened. She held her breath for a long moment before finally squeezing out a sentence.
"Of course I screened them."
Bai Qing said with a smile, her eyes narrowing into slits. "There are plenty more letters here. Do you want to see them?"
Although she was smiling, Fang Qiu sensed a distinct air of resentment in her eyes.
"No... no need."
Fang Qiu coughed awkwardly.
The rest probably weren't nice words either.
Seeing Fang Qiu like this, Bai Qing couldn't help covering her mouth to chuckle. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's move on to the next step. However, standing here in the doorway isn't exactly a solution. Aren't you going to invite me in to sit?"
"I don't have anything in my room to entertain you with, Sister Bai. Let's find a tea house and sit down to talk there instead."
Fang Qiu shook her head and replied.
Although she had money these days, apart from an extra folding screen and a few snacks, nothing else had been added to her home.
Even the Lotus Flower Crisps had been finished off by her last night.
As for tea leaves, she didn't really like them.
Too bitter.
Probably due to the lack of sealing technology, there was still no fruit juice for sale in Liyue.
It was a pity Fang Qiu didn't know how to make it either.
Otherwise, launching an iced Sunsettia juice would be both delicious and healthy.
Pure, natural, pollution-free, without any additives.
Hmm... Liyue didn't have any additives anyway.
Did white sugar count?
In the eyes of the older generation, it might not be acceptable, but among the younger generation, especially children, it should be very popular.
At least, she would love to drink it.
So, right now, other than plain water, there was only plain water in the house.
"Alright then, let's go out."
Hearing Fang Qiu say she wanted to go out to find a tea house, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across Bai Qing's face.
"Sister Bai, what's wrong?"
Fang Qiu keenly captured the change in Bai Qing's expression and asked.
"It's nothing."
Bai Qing hurriedly shook her head.
It wasn't anything else...
She just remembered a troubling incident that happened before.
She had also gone to visit a female author.
That female author also refused to let her in. Then she discovered that the author had likely been doing... shameful things before opening the door, to the point where a large patch of the bedsheet was wet.
Since then, that female author had never submitted a manuscript again...
Seeing Fang Qiu tilting her head slightly, looking at her with a puzzled face,
Her heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate, her pretty face flushing slightly as an absurd thought rose in her heart.
Could Fang Qiu... also be doing that kind of thing?
Or rather, would a woman as ethereal and fairy-like as Fang Qiu ever do that kind of thing?
Subconsciously, she imagined the scene.
Fang Qiu lying on the bed, her face like a peach blossom, her pearly white teeth gently biting her tender lower lip, her eyes welling up with a spring of desire.
Thinking of this, Bai Qing's face turned even redder.
"Sister Bai, why is your face so red? Are you sick? Let me see."
Fang Qiu, having no idea what Bai Qing was thinking, saw Bai Qing's red face and hurriedly asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
Bai Qing coughed, banishing those messy thoughts from her mind.
What am I thinking...
Seeing that Bai Qing didn't want to say, Fang Qiu didn't bring it up again.
After locking the door, Fang Qiu and Bai Qing walked together toward Heyu Tea House.
When they arrived at Heyu Tea House, it seemed to be right when Yun Jin was finishing her shift. Many people present were discussing Yun Jin's opera performance from just a moment ago.
They had just sat down when they saw a handsome young man in magnificent brownish-yellow robes slowly stand up from his seat, looking imposing and dignified.
Fang Qiu looked up subconsciously. It was merely a glance.
Yet her transmigrator's intuition told her that this person was a big shot!
All along, Fang Qiu believed that the "aura of a superior" described in those urban pretentious novels was fake.
Put on women's clothing, and everyone would lose that temperament all the same.
However, the young man before her was different. Even if he wore women's clothing, it would be hard to conceal his unique temperament.
Just from meeting his eyes, Fang Qiu could confirm it.
This man before her was definitely one of the Liyue Qixing!
Moreover, his status within the Liyue Qixing was not low.
If not for the fact that Rex Lapis had already kicked the bucket, with this kind of temperament, she would have thought she had encountered Rex Lapis himself.
"Excuse me, what would the two of you like to drink?"
A waiter immediately came up to welcome them and asked.
"Fang Qiu, what do you want to eat?"
Bai Qing asked.
"Sister Bai, you just order. I'm fine with anything."
Fang Qiu smiled faintly and said.
She actually really wanted to drink cola and eat potato chips, but the problem was that they didn't exist here...
"Then let's have two orders of Qingxin Flower Tea, and two orders of Lotus Cakes."
Bai Qing said.
After ordering, Bai Qing put the documents aside, looked at Fang Qiu, and smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, you still dare to come out to a tea house now? Aren't you afraid of being recognized by readers?"
"I have full confidence in the Millelith."
Fang Qiu smiled.
Furthermore, the current her could not be mentioned in the same breath as her former self.
The self that had one-third the strength of a wild boar was gone forever.
She now possessed the strength to crush a small Slime.
Just as a faint smile of confidence curled up the corners of Fang Qiu's mouth, several robust Millelith soldiers passed by downstairs.
"Have you guys read Your Lie in April?"
"I read it. After finishing it, I was so angry I tore the book up on the spot. I almost smashed my desk along with it. Don't let me catch that author!"
"Ahem, watch your image. We are the Millelith."
"I'm just saying, I would have a good talk with him about life."
...
"Do you still have full confidence in the Millelith now?"
Bai Qing said with a teasing smile.
"Ahem, the weather is really nice today. Sister Bai, have you eaten yet?"
Fang Qiu pretended to cough and spoke.
Although there was the saying that outside seven steps, the gun is fast, and within seven steps, the gun is both fast and accurate.
But this theory didn't apply to her.
After all, she was a mage with a frail constitution.
So, once someone got close, with her physical condition, she would undoubtedly lose in close-quarters combat.
Dealing with ordinary petty thieves was fine.
Facing the well-trained Millelith, there was basically no chance of victory.
Seeing Fang Qiu's cute manner of changing the topic, Bai Qing couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Alright, I won't tease you. Have you been conceptualizing a new book recently?"
Bai Qing pushed the plate of Lotus Cakes brought by the waiter toward Fang Qiu and asked.
"Yes, I have an idea."
Fang Qiu nodded, picked up a Lotus Cake, opened her mouth slightly, and took a gentle bite.
It was actually quite delicious.
Soft and sticky.
"Then, what kind of story do you plan to write?"
Bai Qing's eyes lit up.
Fang Qiu thought for a moment and said, "A story about a Mondstadt noblewoman and a commoner man falling in love during a voyage across the ocean."
"I'll just ask this first: the female lead isn't sick, is she?"
Bai Qing asked.
"No."
"What about the male lead?"
"Neither."
Seeing Bai Qing's suspicious look, Fang Qiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
