・Let Us Get Along Please..?・[3]

(Y/N)s' POV

I looked at the short man eating his food peacefully as if he hadn't just insulted me a few minutes ago, I sigh and started to walk up to him.

"Hello again, Xiao." I said while pulling up a chair and placing it down, finally sitting next to him. Xiao stared at me for a while 'those damn eyes.. What's with him and staring at people' I sweat a bit "Uhm hello Xiao you haven't answered me back yet"

"Why are you still here?" Xiao finally replied after eating another spoonful of Almond Tofu and crossing his arms after.
"The chef here wanted me to wait until he finished cooking my meal and so I decided to go talk to you again... Dealing with an immature toddler isn't the only thing I could do.." I whispered to myself on the last part of my sentence and thank the Archons he didn't heard or else I might have to experience feeling a pair of eyes piercing through my body again.

"And I was thinking, I could help you a bit with finishing off monsters since Zhongli told me you usually spend your days slaying all kinds of enemies near Wangshu Inn and knowing that it must be exhausting." I said finally looking at him a sweat drop going down my face, worrying he'll reject the offer.
Xiao looked like he was about to say something until he stopped and placed his chin on his hand
'At least he's considering it... ' I thought to myself breathing out in relief.
I wait a few minutes which felt like hours until he said something.

"Alright fine, just don't get in my way." Xiao finally answered "Wait really?! Ah thank you, thank you!"
I grabbed his hands and cuffed them within mine without thinking. Xiao seemed a bit startled and quickly moved his pair of hands out of my grasp.

"Please don't touch me like that especially when we just met." He frowned and stood up from his seat and before he could say anything Chef Smiley Yanxiao came up to the table and handed me (F/F) "Sorry it took a while for me to make I wanted it to be perfect for a new customer" Smiley Yanxiao remarked with a smile.
"Ah thank you Chef" I thanked him and he nodded before going back to his kitchen.

"Xiao it looked like you were about to say something, would you want to continue?" I asked before eating a bit of (F/F).
"Hmph...I was gonna say we could start tomorrow, getting rid of monsters near by the Inn, I don't know your fighting style so it's best if we split up, and it'll be faster to get the job done." he exclaimed then started to walk away, it seems like he's going up the stairs.

'I wonder where he's going.. Oh well it isn't my business' I thought and started to finish the rest of my favorite plate.

-------------------

I finished my plate and got up from my seat and stood there for a minute until I remembered 'I haven't asked where my room was first' I quickly walked up towards Verr Goldet.

"Hey Verr Goldet, I haven't asked yet but where should I sleep? You haven't gotten told me yet" I said "H-Huh? I haven't? Oh Archons I apologize! Lately it has been so busy!" Verr Goldet exclaimed quickly scheduling me a room.
"No, no it's okay! I get it. Just make sure to take breaks okay?"
"Yes of course, of course" The woman remarked as she handed me a key to the room I was assigned to "Thank you Verr Goldet!" I said with a smile.

I walked away from her reception desk and started to head to my room, a yawn came out of my mouth 'huh? It sure is late, I don't even know what the time is' I sighed and took out my key then I started to look for the room Verr Goldet assigned me to, once I found it I unlocked the door and stepped in.
"Not bad.." I said to myself.

I noticed a window facing outside so I decided to take a look at the view. Once I opened the window I felt a gust of small wind, I took a deep breath and exhaled "The view looks amazing.." I said to myself, everything here was beautiful. I noticed the silk flower bushes, and dark cold lakes reflecting the moonlight giving it a beautiful reflection, a few birds flying around going to their nests and taking care of their babies, the stars twinkling along with the moon showing off it's beauty.

I smile "This world is certainly something else." I said to myself then decided to close the windows and so I did. I walked to the bathroom in my room and started to remove my current clothes to wear something more comfortable when I go to sleep, then I go and brush/comb my hair and lastly I brush my teeth before I leave the bathroom.

I walk out of the bathroom and closing the door behind me then started to walk to my bed, laying down, facing the ceiling 'I can't believe I'm still here even after years and years' I turn to my side and closed my eyes.
