Since Makoto had visited Windrise yesterday, he was relatively familiar with the routes there, so the two arrived at the viewpoint before sunrise.
Ganyu silently followed behind Makoto, her clear, watery eyes filled with curiosity as she surveyed the surroundings.
sweet flowers bloomed on both sides of the road, with sparkling dewdrops clinging to their petals.
Occasionally, small animals would dart out of the bushes, and when Ganyu saw this, she would rummage in her pocket for food and then quietly place it on the ground.
The rustling of trees and the sound of clear springs filled the air, and a gentle breeze brushed against her cheeks, causing the single strand of hair on Ganyu's head to sway gently.
It was evident that he really liked Windrise.
At this moment, the sky was like a canvas, as if someone had spilled orange-yellow paint, which happened to spread across the cloth, forming a painting.
Watching the sun slowly rise into the sky, Ganyu suddenly felt that everything was beautiful.
Although he often saw the sunrise when working overtime before, at this very moment, Ganyu had a different state of mind.
The sunrise was still the same sunrise, with no changes; it was the person by her side who was important.
For Ganyu, these were some of the rare and precious memories,
Even many years later, recalling them would involuntarily bring a smile to his face.
At this moment, Ganyu noticed that Makoto was not looking at the sunrise, but was quietly looking at her profile.
"Look, look at the sunrise..."
Ganyu originally wanted to remind Makoto that the sunrise was about to end, and if he didn't look now, he would regret missing it.
But being inarticulate, her words turned into a very short sentence when they reached her lips.
Looking at the anxious Ganyu, Makoto gently shook his head: "It's fine, you watch the sunrise, I'll watch you."
He thought to himself that he had already seen the sunrise when he was in Inazuma, and now he had little interest in it.
But these words certainly couldn't be said directly, because that would spoil the mood.
A girl wants you to accompany her to watch the sunrise, but you say the sunrise isn't beautiful—isn't that being a complete blockhead?
Although someone with Ganyu's gentle personality wouldn't think there was any problem at the time, if he thought about it carefully afterward, he would definitely feel sad for a long time.
After all, he had been looking forward to watching the sunrise since yesterday.
For this, Makoto deliberately changed his wording,
Although the content expressed remained the same, it could effectively bring the two closer.
As expected, hearing Makoto say this, Ganyu immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Was Makoto saying that he was more beautiful than the sunrise?
How, how should he answer?
At this moment, under the illumination of the morning glow, Ganyu's shyness appeared exceptionally charming.
Looking at the blushing Ganyu, Makoto reached out and touched the qilin horn on her head.
He was already an adeptus who had lived for a thousand years, yet why did he get shy so easily? He was truly too adorable.
Ganyu gently leaned against Makoto's shoulder, her gaze directed towards the horizon.
By the time the sun had completely risen into the sky, today's sunrise viewing was considered finished.
"What are you thinking about?"
Noticing Makoto's thoughtful expression, Ganyu asked gently.
Makoto looked at Ganyu's fair and smooth back, then teased: "I'm thinking, it would be a real shame not to give such a beautiful back a cupping session."
Ganyu blinked; he couldn't understand the meaning of Makoto's words.
Why would a beautiful back need cupping?
Was there any connection between the two?
Seeing Ganyu's puzzled expression, Makoto smiled: "It's just a joke. Actually, I'm just sighing that a peaceful life like this is quite good."
"Watching the Little Ones slowly grow up, being able to travel when I have free time, and occasionally helping Yu Jin fix her faucet."
Ganyu said nothing, just nodded gently.
After hearing the life Makoto described, it did sound quite good.
Immediately after, Makoto continued: "Ganyu, after this Windblume Festival ends, would you consider starting a new life?"
"A life of a thousand years as one day is too monotonous. I think you should try a new life, a new job."
"You don't have to worry about the contract; I'll just talk to Morax about it later."
Makoto did not want Ganyu to continue working at Yuehai Pavilion, because the work at Yuehai Pavilion was too strenuous, sometimes he couldn't even be seen for a whole day when he was busy.
Of course, Makoto hoped Ganyu would resign for another underlying reason,
And that was to avoid the arrival of a love triangle.
This matter, whether Makoto looked at it or not, it was always there, it would not leave.
Rather than passively facing it, it was better to take the initiative.
Nowadays, Yae Miko bullies children all day long; this matter cannot be ignored.
Ganyu's resignation will be Makoto's clarion call to launch a counterattack.
"Okay."
Facing Makoto's suggestion, Ganyu nodded gently and agreed.
In fact, long before, people had been advising Ganyu to retire.
Whether it was his colleagues at Yuehai Pavilion or the beautiful mature woman Yu Jin,
Everyone suggested that Ganyu put down his work and take care of his body.
Even Cloud Retainer repeatedly emphasized to Ganyu that Liyue's work was merely a form of cultivation, and there would eventually be a day to leave.
Before, Ganyu always wavered; he wanted to seek welfare for the people of Liyue, but also wanted to change his lifestyle.
Now, Makoto's words made Ganyu's wavering heart firm, and he began to consider what would happen after retirement.
Changing jobs, perhaps it wasn't a bad thing after all?
The children in the kindergarten needed someone to take care of them.
Ganyu gently leaned against Makoto's shoulder, his quiet eyes gazing at the distant sky.
Not long after, Ganyu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Ganyu had not rested all night, and now that his body felt relaxed, he quickly fell asleep.
Makoto looked in the direction of Liyue, lost in thought.
He was thinking, Ganyu's back really was very suitable for cupping...
Oh, no, he was thinking, when he returned to Liyue, he would say hello to Morax.
As for the secretary work of the Liyue Seven Stars, you old man can find whoever you want to take over; in short, my Ganyu can no longer work.
Morax himself slacks off, so he probably wouldn't interfere with others slacking off.
Recalling his thoughts, Makoto opened the gacha pool.
Currently, he had five intertwined fates, obtained from the Witch's Treasure and the friendship level increase of Eula and Rosaria.
Makoto threw all five intertwined fates into the gacha pool in one go.
