Genshin: Ningguang or Little Pitiful, Invested by Me

Listening to Fang Xun's comforting words, Little Ningguang cried even harder.

The gentler and more doting Fang Xun was, the more self-blame she felt.

Seeing the little crybaby getting stuck in her own head, Fang Xun had no choice but to pretend to be angry and say, "Little girl, let this matter go. I've already forgiven you."

"Don't overthink it or cry anymore, or Brother Fang Xun will get really angry, okay?"

Hearing Fang Xun say this, Little Ningguang immediately hugged his arm and said weakly, "Brother Fang Xun, don't be angry. Ningguang won't cry anymore."

As she spoke, the little girl bit her lip, trying hard to stop the tears from falling.

Her appearance was both adorable and heartbreaking.

Fang Xun's heart immediately softened. He couldn't bear to put on a stern face for Ningguang.

So, he gently comforted her, "Silly girl, you're only six years old right now. Don't put so much psychological pressure on yourself, understand?"

Ningguang heard Fang Xun call her a child and immediately pouted, defending herself, "Brother Fang Xun, Ningguang isn't little!"

"Mom said that Ningguang is already an adult because she can help lighten the family's burden!"

Fang Xun patted her little head and then said dotingly, "You're still young. It'll be a few more years before you grow up."

"And even if you were an adult, as long as I'm here, you won't have to grow up. Do you understand?"

Ningguang's expression became a little dazed upon hearing this.

All along, she had been desperately hoping to grow up quickly, wishing she could wake up one day as an adult.

Because only then could she earn more Mora and improve their family's financial situation.

But until today, Fang Xun had told her, that she didn't have to grow up.

Tears welled up in the little girl's eyes again, but she didn't dare to cry, afraid Fang Xun would get angry.

So, she could only bite her lip, and look at Fang Xun pitifully.

Fang Xun was amused by her expression. He gently ruffled her head and softly said, "Let's go. I'll show you our new home."

Chapter 22: Staying By Your Side as Your Little Secretary for Life

"Huh? Brother Fang Xun bought a new house??"

Hearing Fang Xun's words, Little Ningguang's expression was one of surprise.

It seemed like Brother Fang Xun hadn't even been in Liyue for that many days, and he had already bought a house so quickly!

Amidst her surprise, Little Ningguang clenched her little fists and cheered herself on.

She had to work even harder!

And strive to get a new house as soon as possible!

Because only then, could she and her mother stop living in a dilapidated, simple wooden house.

However, her motivation didn't last long before Ningguang became discouraged again.

They said ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

In a place like Liyue Harbor, where every inch of land is precious, even buying a cheap house wouldn't be inexpensive.

Ningguang didn't know when she would be able to save enough money to buy a house...

Thinking of this, Little Ningguang let out a sigh of sorrow.

While her peers were still growing up carefree and happy, she was already suffocating under the weight of life's burdens.

Even not being woken up by the cold in her sleep at night was a luxury for her.

Fang Xun saw the little girl's dejected expression clearly.

Although Little Ningguang said nothing, her big eyes stared at the new house with longing, which spoke volumes.

"Let's go. Come see if you like your new home," Fang Xun said softly, rubbing the little girl's head.

Ningguang was stunned at first, then looked at Fang Xun in disbelief, "A, a new home?"

"Is this Ningguang's new home?"

The little girl suspected she had misheard, after all, this was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, Fang Xun had already handed the house keys to her.

"Little girl, you heard correctly. From now on, this will be your new home."

Fang Xun crouched down and said earnestly to Ningguang.

"As my secretary, you will naturally have many tasks to do in the future."

"But if your place of residence is too far away, it will affect many of my plans."

"And if you live in the city, it will be convenient for me to find you when I need something."

Fang Xun paused and continued, "Also, weren't you thinking about getting a big house so you could bring your mother and me to live there?"

"Now your wish has come true."

"Bring your mother over here as well, so her illness will recover faster."

"At the very least, you won't go hungry or freeze here, right?"

Fang Xun listed the various conveniences of moving in for Ningguang.

Little Ningguang didn't speak, tears just kept falling, patter, patter.

Although Fang Xun said it was for better work, she knew very well in her heart

that Fang Xun was actually just giving her a reason to move in, to help her improve her family's living conditions.

And Ningguang couldn't refuse Fang Xun's kindness, because her mother was indeed seriously ill.

Although she took her medicine on time, the current living environment was too poor and greatly affected her mother's recovery.

If they could change their environment, it would indeed be much better.

Fang Xun had considered all of this for Ningguang.

It was precisely because of this that Little Ningguang cried like a weeping willow.

Ningguang saw and remembered everything Fang Xun did.

No one had ever been so gentle with her like Fang Xun.

Brother Fang Xun is the best~

"Brother Fang Xun, thank you, thank you," the little girl said, her voice choked with emotion, repeatedly thanking Fang Xun.

Seeing her delicate and pitiful appearance, Fang Xun couldn't help but tease, "Silly girl, I'm a wicked capitalist."

"Letting you live here is also so you can work for me better."

"Why are you still thanking me so foolishly?"

These words made Ningguang laugh.

She wiped away her tears and then said earnestly, "Brother Fang Xun, consider this house as me buying it from you with borrowed money."

"Don't worry, when I have money, I will definitely pay you back."

"If I really don't have money, then I'll stay by your side and be your little secretary for life, okay?"

The little girl cried, her tears like falling flowers, but her tone was exceptionally firm.

Brother Fang Xun was willing to let her and her mother live in the house, so that the mother and daughter wouldn't have to face the wind and rain.

Ningguang was already very grateful for this.

How could she accept Brother Fang Xun's house for free?

No matter when, she couldn't take things for free.

This was the little girl's bottom line!

Fang Xun didn't insist and let Ningguang have her way.

He squeezed Ningguang's smooth cheek and said dotingly, "You look around the house first. I'll accompany you to pick up your mother later."

Little Ningguang nodded obediently, her beautiful eyes quietly gazing at Fang Xun's profile.

Actually, there was one more thing she wanted to say,
