"Almonds, milk, and sugar...
perfect!
I have everything I need to make Almond Tofu."

You prepared the ingredients and completed the plating.
After that, you trotted up to the balcony and sat down beside him.
"Good morning, Xiao. I prepared your favourite Almond Tofu for you. Let's have a meal together!"
Xiao was deafeningly silent, looking fiercely at you.
"Do you intend to give up? As I have stated, we will never become friends. You're barely surviving and yet you prepare that for me" coldly,' he murmured.
It was nothing new for him to be in such a gloomy attitude.

"And why do you wrap yourself in that obnoxious blanket everyday?"
It's sweltering outside..."
"Oh I just wanted you to have a break because you work so hard for Liyue."
"I'm fine with not eating as much, and this blanket is only to keep me warm and covered. I have a skin ailment called hives, which causes an itchy raised welt to appear on my skin whenever I come into contact with something I'm allergic to. Since I'm mainly sensitive to grass, it's best to cover up."
Xiao locked his gaze on you once more.
"And, as I have stated, I will never stop befriending you."
"Everyone should have at least have one friend to keep them company, and I'd like to be that buddy who is always there for you.
Just because you're an Adeptus, doesn't imply you to work all the time you know."
"You just don't give up, do you?"
"No, I won't," you said.
"The more I hang out with you, the more you'll notice how much of a loving and thoughtful person I am-" he then vanished.
"ARGHH!, I was on the verge of having a full-fledged conversation with him!"
"No..." You moaned.
"Tomorrow for sure," you said as you rose and returned to Liyue Harbor.

Arriving at Liyue Harbor...
