Sugar glanced at him a few more times out of curiosity. According to Miss Akabane, his name was Xiao, and he was a friend that Mr. Xia had met in Liyue. He was also in Mondstadt for tourism and to experience the Windflower Festival.
Sugar thought for a moment, then shook his head.
wrong.
Although this Xiao has a similar temperament to the masked boy in the painting, their heights don't match.
The boy in the painting is too short.
But this Xiao is very tall.
They are definitely not one person.
It's probably just my imagination.
Sugar dismissed these random thoughts, returned to the table, and continued her research on the topic of emotional gas and twilight mushrooms.

By evening.
Barbara covered her head and sat up in bed.
She felt somewhat unwell from being drunk.
After massaging her forehead for a while and getting out of bed to drink a glass of water, she felt a little better.
What kind of wine is it?
When I drank it, I didn't feel that it was very strong at all. I just felt that the taste was mellow and sweet, and there was a wonderful feeling of ecstasy.
Recalling that blissful experience, Barbara couldn't help but lick her lips.
She glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and exclaimed in surprise how late it was, then hurriedly went to change her clothes.
After changing her clothes, Barbara washed her face, tidied herself up, and ran out.
She knew there was a bookstore on the street corner not far from the West Wind Church.
Hopefully it's still open!
Barbara ran into the bookstore, panting, and told the owner the title of the novel written by Mr. Xia.
The bookstore owner was a very familiar older woman. She looked at Barbara's nun's habit with a strange expression on her face.
Are you sure you want to buy that book?
"Sure!"
"Then please wait a moment."
After the bookstore owner finished speaking, he went into the bookshelf, took out a book, and handed it to Barbara.
"The book you wanted."
Barbara took the book, glanced at the title, confirmed it was exactly the same as the book Amber had taken out, paid for it, and left satisfied with the book.
The bookstore owner leaned against the counter, watching Barbara's retreating figure, and muttered to himself, "These nuns nowadays, tsk..."
Barbara returned to the Church of the West and saw Rosalia sitting on the last row of benches.
Today, she wasn't holding that pipe; instead, she was cuddling an adorable white cat and gently stroking it.
Barbara noticed that Rosalia's expression seemed to have softened somewhat.
So he stopped smoking and started petting cats instead?
Barbara greeted Rosalia, glanced at the white cat Rosalia was holding, and left with the books she had just bought.
Cats are cute, but my sister's affairs are the most important!

In the evening, after dinner at home, everyone took a walk together by the Fruit Wine Lake as usual.
Xia Le wasn't as excited as she had been when she first arrived in the city that morning, but she still took advantage of being a newcomer and naturally followed the older boy, occasionally asking a few interesting questions.
Claire seemed very interested in the new older sister and said she would take her to set off fireworks that night.
Xia Le couldn't resist Ke Li's enthusiasm, and since she was also curious about fireworks, she finally agreed to go with them to the statue in the square.
After my walk, I returned to the Dust Song Pot.
Xia Ci stopped Xia Le, who was about to go for a bath with Ke Li and the others, and told her that there were even more fun things to do.
"Sister Xia Ci, what's something even more fun?"
"You come with me."
Then, Xia Le arrived at the door of a room and heard strange noises coming from inside.
"this is?"
"Your older brother's mysterious service."
"what?"
"Massage, I'll let you go in first."
"Oh……"
Xia Le doesn't really understand these things.
She was just a dragon that had just taken human form.
Although her unusual emotional attachment to her older brother stemmed from the dragon's innate possessiveness and some twisted personality traits, she was ultimately just a relatively innocent child who couldn't make any connection to the strange sounds she heard.
When the people inside came out looking satisfied, Xia Le was pushed inside by Xia Ci.
"Big brother."
"Xia Le? What brings you here?"
"Sister Xia Ci brought me here!"
"Her...would you like a massage yourself?"
"miss you!"
"Never mind, come here and lie down on the bed."
"Oh!"
Then, Xia Le experienced a pleasure she had never felt before.
It's definitely better to be human!
She never experienced this kind of enjoyment when she was a dragon.
"All right."
"Huh? Is it done already? I want to massage it a little longer!"
"Stop thinking about it, go take a bath, there are other ladies waiting to give you massages."
Xia Le was still somewhat unsatisfied.
She thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, we can use time-stopping, that would give us enough time..."
Xia Zhi pinched her cheek and laughed, "Don't keep thinking about this. I'll give you a massage tomorrow."
"Ugh...okay."
Xia Le got out of bed and walked outside.
I opened the door, and there stood Sister Xia Ci.
She looked Xia Le up and down at his clothes and asked, "Didn't you take off your clothes when you were getting the massage?"
Xia Le asked curiously, "Take off your clothes? Do you have to take off your clothes during a massage?"
"Of course."
"Big brother didn't say that."
"My cousin usually doesn't tell me."
Xia Ci chuckled softly.
"This is a hidden service; you'll need to request it yourself."
Xia Le was stunned: "Huh?"
"Do you remember that woman from before? Did she have traces of essential oil on her body?"
"Essential oils?"
"It's just that the skin looks shiny and shiny."
"Yes!"
"By the way, this is an essential oil massage, which is more comfortable than a massage while wearing clothes."
"More comfortable?!"
"I forgot to tell you before. Remember to mention it when you get your massage tomorrow."
