If Mr. Faxun knew what the three Little One were thinking, he would surely be dumbfounded.
Because while Gan Yu looked young, she had actually lived for thousands of years, and the old man in front of her had lived for far less time than Ganyu.
As for why he still insisted on calling her Sister when he was old, in the original plot, it was because the old man had called Ganyu that since he was a child; he was used to it and couldn't change.
Ganyu also didn't expect to meet Uncle Tian here, so she said, "It's quite a coincidence, Uncle Tian, I didn't expect to see you here."
Makoto also sized up the white-haired old man in front of him.
He knew that although this old man looked ordinary, he was actually the current Liyue Seven Stars, Tianshu Star.
As they spoke, Uncle Tian looked at Makoto, then at Ganyu, and curiously asked, "Gan Yu, who is this?"
Before Ganyu could answer, Yae Miko, covering her mouth, playfully said, "Uncle Tian, this is Mr. Faxun, Gan Yu's significant other!"
Hearing Yae Miko's teasing, Ganyu's pretty face turned crimson.
She looked at Yae Miko and couldn't help but chide, "Miko... you're doing it again..."
"Oh dear, I accidentally forgot that Gan Yu is easily shy."
"Sorry, sorry, I'll pay attention next time."
Yae Miko put her hands together in an apologetic gesture, but her eyes gleamed with mischief.
I know I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time.
Uncle Tian also noticed that Ganyu was shy and embarrassed throughout the whole process, but she didn't deny Miko's words.
So, in other words, did Ganyu also implicitly acknowledge this relationship?
Uncle Tian felt like he had stumbled upon a huge piece of gossip, but he couldn't tell anyone else.
Keeping the secret was agonizing.
Actually, it couldn't be said that way.
Now the entire Liyue was talking about this matter, as if he was the last one to know?
At this moment, Makoto looked at Uncle Tian and politely said, "Hello, Uncle Tian, my name is Makoto."
Uncle Tian came back to his senses and smiled, nodding, "Hello, hello, Mr. Faxun."
"You're here to fish too, right? This is a prime spot for fishing, why don't you sit down and fish with us?"
Uncle Tian also proactively invited Makoto and the others to sit down.
Naturally, Makoto would not refuse.
Uncle Tian was an old senior of the Liyue Seven Stars, who had diligently worked for Liyue his entire life.
Putting everything else aside, the spot Uncle Tian chose for fishing would naturally not be bad.
Makoto took out the Bait, tied it to the hook, and then cast it into the water.
The three Little Cuties also imitated Makoto, looking very cute.
As for Ganyu, she was helping out on the side, occasionally looking after Makoto and the three Little Cuties.
She looked like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
This scene naturally fell into Uncle Tian's eyes.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
It was actually quite good that Ganyu wasn't constantly busy with work, occasionally stopping to take time for life.
"Mr. Faxun, while this prime fishing spot is good, it still depends on luck."
"If you're lucky, the fish you catch in a morning can be sold for a lot of money."
"If you're unlucky, then you're out of luck; you might sit there all day and not catch a single fish."
As he spoke, Uncle Tian's fishing rod trembled slightly, and ripples appeared on the water's surface.
Uncle Tian was also an experienced angler; he immediately knew that a fish had taken the Bait.
He immediately gripped the fishing rod with both hands and reeled the fish onto the shore.
"That's a Crystalfish!"
Ningguang blinked her big eyes, recognizing at a glance what kind of fish Uncle Tian had caught.
Uncle Tian looked at Ningguang, then said with interest, "Little girl, you know this fish?"
Ningguang nodded gently, then hummed, "This fish is very valuable and sought after by people from all walks of life."
"In recent years, its price has also been rising."
"However..."
Ningguang hesitated, unsure whether she should speak.
Uncle Tian also smiled and continued to ask, "However what? Just say it, don't hold back."
Hearing Uncle Tian's reply, Ningguang no longer had any reservations.
She slowly said, "However, in my opinion, Crystalfish is not at all the 'gold among fish'; it's completely been hyped up by those with ulterior motives."
Uncle Tian was also amused by Ningguang's answer and burst into laughter.
"That's right, most merchants just follow the trend, hearing that Crystalfish can produce pearls, so they don't hesitate to pay more to buy them."
"But in reality, those are all rumors deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives."
"I once tried to remind some merchants about this, but they didn't believe it."
"Those people look very successful, but in reality, they don't see things as clearly as you, Little One."
"Little girl, you can distinguish right from wrong at such a young age; you might even become a successful merchant in Liyue in the future."
Hearing Uncle Tian's praise, Ningguang shook her head.
"Ningguang doesn't want to be a merchant; Ningguang just wants to be a secretary by Brother Makoto's side!"
The little girl was innocent and pure, so her serious answer was especially adorable.
Uncle Tian was amused again.
He felt that Makoto must have some special attractive quality, otherwise, even a little girl like Ningguang wouldn't be thinking of becoming his secretary when she grew up.
Makoto also couldn't help but smile; he reached out and rubbed Ningguang's face: "Ningguang, being a merchant and being a secretary are not in conflict."
"On the contrary, I hope you can become a successful merchant."
"So successful that when the people of Liyue mention the name Ningguang, they will all say, 'Lady Ningguang is truly an amazing merchant.'"
Ningguang didn't know what an amazing merchant was, but she knew that Makoto wanted her to become one.
Then she had to work hard to achieve it.
No, not just work hard, but she absolutely had to achieve it.
For Brother Makoto, she absolutely had to become an amazing merchant.
Just then, Makoto's fishing rod trembled slightly.
He caught something!
