Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 390 Walnut and 77

The person who came was Su Xun. He was wearing a white robe, with an upright posture, handsome face, and a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

"What do you want? Hu Tao, what are you planning?" Su Xun tapped Hu Tao's forehead gently. There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but it was more of doting.

"Hey, nothing..."

Walnut laughed dryly, then pouted her lips and rubbed the place where she was hit, a little aggrieved: "Husband, why did you hit my head? It hurts, okay."

Su Xun smiled and said, "Who told you to be sneaky? If someone doesn't know, they would think you were doing something bad."

Hu Tao chuckled and said, "I didn't do anything bad. I was just observing the Qianyan Army. By the way, husband, why are you here?"

Su Xun took Hu Tao's hand and said, "I came out to buy some things. I happened to pass by here and saw you squatting here, so I came to take a look. Tell me, what are you doing observing the Qianyan Army?"

"I...it's nothing. I just thought they looked quite majestic standing guard, so I admired them for a bit." Hu Tao's eyes were a little vague, and he spoke hesitantly.

Su Xun looked at Hu Tao's expression and decided not to believe her words.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile: "Hu Tao, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise... I won't let you off tonight~"

"Hmm..." Hu Tao's little face turned red and her legs suddenly felt weak.

When Hu Tao thought of the blushing and heart-pounding scenes from the previous night, she felt her heart beating faster and her whole body getting hot.

Her husband was too powerful! She couldn't handle it at all, and could only barely cope with it by asking her sisters to help share the burden.

When she first got married, she was still a little unconvinced. Once, she spoke nonsense in front of her husband and wanted to challenge him to a duel. As a result, she was beaten up all night and almost broke down.

So much so that she doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, otherwise she will really die!

Hu Tao waved her hands quickly and said, "Oh, husband, I said it's not possible. In fact, I was hiding from the Qianyan Army. Yesterday, when I was promoting the business of Wangshengtang to a few foreign businessmen in the city, I accidentally scared them.

Then the Qianyan Army came to warn me not to do it again, saying that it would affect the image and order of Liyue. I was not convinced, so I thought to see when the Qianyan Army would stop paying attention, and then I would go and explain the benefits of Wangsheng Hall to those foreign merchants. "

Su Xun shook his head helplessly and said, "Hu Tao, you are always so out of tune. You can't force the promotion of Wangsheng Hall's business like this, it will scare others."

Hu Tao pouted and said, "I am doing this for the development of Wangsheng Hall. Besides, those foreign businessmen don't know the good of our Wangsheng Hall. I have to let them know."

Su Xun pinched Hu Tao's nose and said, "Okay, I don't want to persuade you with some big talk. Wangsheng Hall is indeed very important to you. You can promote it, but don't go too far. After all, everyone has different levels of acceptance of life and death. If you rashly promote it like this, it will easily cause disgust from others."

Walnut nodded and said, "I know, husband, I will pay attention to it next time. So where are you going now?"

Su Xun said, "I'm going to go home after I finish shopping. What about you? Do you want to continue hiding from the Qianyan Army here?"

Hu Tao chuckled and said, "No, no, I'll go home with you. Anyway, there's no chance for me to promote Wangsheng Hall today."

It was evening, the sun was setting, and its afterglow sprinkled on every corner of Liyue Harbor, covering this bustling port city with a layer of golden veil.

So Su Xun took Hu Tao's hand and the two of them walked towards home.

Along the way, Hu Tao chattered about some interesting things, and Su Xun listened with a smile and occasionally responded.

After the two returned to the courtyard, Hu Tao's eyes lit up when she saw the scene in front of them. She let go of Su Xun's hand, ran into the courtyard, and hugged Qiqi, who was sitting on a stone bench drinking coconut milk.

"Haha, I finally caught you! Qiqi, have you missed me?" Hu Tao laughed excitedly.

Qiqi was suddenly hugged by Hu Tao and was a little panicked, almost spilling the coconut milk in her hand.

"Hmm... hot... hot Hu Tao, Qi Qi is scared..." Qi Qi struggled uncomfortably, trying to break free from Hu Tao's arms.

Seeing this, Yaoyao hurriedly stepped forward to pull Hu Tao away and said angrily, "Sister Hu Tao, don't bully Qi Qi!"

Hu Tao then realized that she might have been too excited and scared Qiqi, so she quickly let go of her hand with an apologetic smile on her face: "Oh, Qiqi, Yaoyao, I'm so sorry, I was too excited and didn't control my strength well. Qiqi, are you okay?"

Yaoyao carefully protected Qiqi and turned back to glare at Hutao: "Sister Hutao, you are always like this, suddenly... Qiqi is timid, don't scare her."

Qiqi hid behind Yaoyao, revealing half of her face, and looked at Hutao cautiously with a look of fear on her face.

To Qiqi, who had been tricked by Hu Tao several times, this quirky girl was like a big devil, so much so that she was now trying to avoid Hu Tao as much as possible.

You have to know that as a zombie, Qiqi's memory is very poor. Even Bai Zhu, the person who adopted her, is often forgotten by her.

But Qiqi's memory of Hu Tao was extremely deep. Every time she saw Hu Tao, she would reflexively want to run away.

Hu Tao looked at Qi Qi's frightened expression and felt a surge of guilt in her heart.

She scratched her head and said softly, "Qiqi, I'm sorry, I don't plan to bury you anymore, please forgive me, I want to be friends with you."

When Qiqi heard Hu Tao's words, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she still shook her head in fear: "Qiqi, don't be friends with Hu Tao. Hu Tao will bury Qiqi."

Walnut waved her hands and said anxiously, "No, no, I really won't bury you again. Look, I don't even have a shovel with me. I swear, I will never do anything to scare you again."

Qiqi looked at Hu Tao's sincere look and her fear was slightly reduced, but she still shook her head firmly and hid behind Yaoyao and refused to come out.

Hu Tao suddenly felt a little disappointed. She really intended to be friends with Qi Qi, but because she already knew Qi Qi's life experience and felt her strong desire to survive, she was no longer keen on helping Qi Qi get rid of it.

Yaoyao looked at Hu Tao, then at Qi Qi, and sighed softly: "Sister Hu Tao, you did a lot of things that scared Qi Qi in the past, so it's normal for her not to believe you now. However, if you really want to be friends with Qi Qi, you have to prove it with actions, not just talk."

Hu Tao nodded seriously: "Yaoyao, you are right, I will prove it with my actions. Qiqi, give me a chance, I will prove to you that I can definitely be a good friend to you!"

Qiqi didn't say anything, but just blinked her beautiful purple amber pupils.
