Genshin Impact: The Sharpshooter of Teyvat

Chapter 1013 Xi's Sumeru name "Dia Fajer"

Just when Shao Yun reached an employment agreement with Kavi, in the Grand Bazar of Xumi City.

The air is filled with the fragrance of spices, the sweetness of fruits, and the enthusiastic shouts of vendors, and it has a strong urban atmosphere.

On the other side, Ying was holding Kong's wrist and happily strolling around the stalls.

Now, it is a rare opportunity for her to reunite with her brother. She always feels that there are endless things to say and do, so she puts "family shopping" on the agenda.

Airbus is killing me, why don't you take your husband shopping? You're just torturing your brother!

The two of them stopped in front of a stall covered with embroidered carpets.

"Brother, look at this!" Ying squatted down and gently brushed her fingers across an indigo carpet embroidered with Xumi's unique patterns and decorated with small tassels on the edges.

"What do you think about laying some carpets like this in our future home? Wouldn't it look very cozy?" She raised her head and looked at Sora expectantly, already imagining what the carpet would look like in the room.

Sora leaned in to take a closer look, then picked up the carpet between his fingertips and shook it gently.

"A carpet?" He squinted his eyes and looked at the workmanship of the pattern.

"It really looks good, and the color is beautiful too. It should be very comfortable in the living room."

But he changed the subject and pointed to the fine pile of the carpet.

"But have you ever thought about it? If you accidentally spill something on this long-haired style, it would probably be very troublesome to clean up."

"Even if nothing is spilled, if dust accumulates when you come back, it's going to be a lot of work to clean up."

The anticipation on Ying's face suddenly faded a little. She twisted the pile of the carpet and found it was indeed very thick, so it was bound to harbor dirt and filth.

"That's right..." she muttered softly.

Then, Ying quickly pulled herself away from the choice of carpet and excitedly pulled Kong to a small stall next to her that was filled with bottles and jars.

On the stall, there are clay pots with a natural ochre color, brass tableware with a warm luster, and several sets of ceramic tableware painted with the unique vine and floral patterns of Sumeru. The glaze is bright and looks very delicate.

"Brother, what do you think of these?" Ying picked up a bowl with wavy edges and looked at it against the light.

"We'll need these pots and pans in our future lives, right? These look pretty nice."

Sora bent down to examine it carefully, tapping a ceramic basin with his fingers. Listening to the dull yet solid sound, he nodded and said, "It looks really good. The material and workmanship are quite exquisite. It's suitable for daily use at home."

When Ying heard that her brother also liked it, she immediately became excited and turned to the stall owner and said, "Boss, this, and that set of patterned bowls and plates, and also... pack those small soup bowls over there for me!"

As she spoke, she pointed with her fingers, afraid that the stall owner would miss the item she liked.

The stall owner was an enthusiastic person. He responded quickly and quickly took out soft paper and straw rope to start packing.

Kong looked at Ying's decisiveness and pulled her arm in surprise.

"Sister, isn't it a bit early to buy these tableware? We are still on the road and don't even have a fixed place to stay. It will be inconvenient to carry these fragile things."

Ying raised her neck proudly and said, "It's okay, I have a place to put it."

"And you see, these bowls and plates aren't big, so they don't take up much space when wrapped. Besides, you have to buy them sooner or later. Now that you've found them and like them, it would be a shame to miss out."

She took a package from the stall owner, weighed it, and added, "These are for daily use. It's always a good idea to prepare them in advance so you don't have to rush around when the time comes."

Sora smiled helplessly. His sister had also become the mistress of a family...

"Okay, you have a point. I'll take the heavy stuff, be careful not to break it."

A smile immediately appeared on Ying's face, and her eyes curved into crescents.

"I know you're the best!"

……

At the same time, on the other side, Paimon was so happy holding the barbecue roll he had just bought with the small treasury he had hidden in his boots!

This delicious dish covered with sesame seeds and sauces made Paimeng's saliva water, but when she turned around and saw Shen He not far away, she closed her mouth again.

At this moment, Shen He was sitting on a bench by the roadside of the Grand Bazaar holding her child. The light from the street lamp fell on the ends of her silver hair, making her face look particularly soft and beautiful.

Paimeng suddenly felt that it was more important to let Shen He, who was holding the child, eat something first than to fill his own stomach.

"Shen He! Shen He!" Paimon flew over holding a barbecue roll. His small body floated in the air and he handed the food steadily to Shen He's mouth.

"Want to try it? This one smells amazing!"

Shen He raised his eyes when he heard the voice and saw the barbecue roll handed to him. The aroma of barbecue and spices lingered at his nose.

She didn't expect Paimon to feed her suddenly. She was stunned for a moment, subconsciously opened her mouth slightly, and took a small bite.

The crispy and soft bread wraps the tender grilled meat, and the slightly spicy sauce spreads on the tip of the tongue.

"Hmm..." She chewed slowly, savoring the sudden delicacy carefully, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?" Paimon moved closer, his round eyes full of anticipation.

Shen He swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded seriously, and said softly, "Mm, it's delicious."

"If you like, I'll feed you!" Paimon immediately became happy, holding the barbecue roll and pushing it forward, speaking softly as if coaxing a child.

"Ah, open your mouth..."

Shen He looked at the barbecue roll that was handed to his mouth, then looked at Paimeng's expectant eyes, obediently raised his face slightly, and gently opened his mouth: "Ah..."

At this moment, Shen He's voice was soft and thin, with a bit of natural cuteness, and there was a bit of innocence in his eyes, like a white cat whose fur was being stroked, and he was particularly cute.

……

Afterwards, everyone gathered together again. Dishia brought Ying, Paimon, Kong, and Shenhe, who was holding a child in his arms, to the front of the Zubair Theater.

"We just happened to catch the last show. We're lucky." Dixia muttered as she watched Nilu preparing to perform on the stage.

Ying happily ate two sizzling, greasy skewers of meat. The amber sauce dripped down the bamboo skewers, and the fat and lean pieces of meat were sprinkled with fine spices. They were so fragrant when she took a bite.

In the center of the stage, Nilu was dancing to the music, her aqua blue skirt spreading out like a blooming water lily.

Her left arm was slightly bent, her fingertips trembling like twisting petals, but her right arm suddenly stretched out.

The waist twists gently to the beat of the drum, causing the skirt to create ripples.

When her toes tapped the floor, the silver bells on her ankles made crisp vibrato sounds, and she deliberately slowed down her center of gravity when spinning.

Then, she suddenly leaned over, drew a semicircle with her hands on the ground, and then suddenly raised her head and stood up.

When the last movement was finished, Nilu knelt slightly and saluted, and warm applause immediately broke out from the audience.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a smile, and when she walked off the stage, she saw Ying and her group at a glance, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Ying, Paimon, long time no see!"

Paimeng was enjoying Ying's skewers. Upon hearing this, he quickly licked the oil stains on the corners of his mouth.

"Nilu, hehe, long time no see, you still look so beautiful when dancing!"

After walking off the stage and being praised, Nilu suddenly showed a bit of shyness. She put her hands behind her back and shook them gently, and her cheeks showed the shyness unique to girls.

"Thank you, I'm really happy that you guys can come and see me."

As she spoke, Nilu turned her gaze towards Kong and Shenhe beside her. Seeing the child in Shenhe's arms, she became even more curious and couldn't help but ask softly, "By the way, who are these two?"

"This is Ying's brother, Kong."

Paimon immediately pointed at the two of them and introduced them enthusiastically. Then he looked at Shen He holding the child and added with his head tilted:

"This is Shen He, the godmother of Ying's daughter!"

Since it was the first time Kong met Nilu, he didn't have much to say, so he simply raised his hand and said, "Hello..."

Shen He, who was holding the child, said swiftly and generously, "Hello, Miss Nilu, nice to meet you."

Nilu's focus at this moment is all on the daughter in Shenhe's arms. It turns out that this little baby is Ying's daughter!

She was shocked and said, "Huh? Ying's daughter? Does that mean Ying gave birth to a baby? I thought the child in Miss Shen He's arms was her own..."

Seeing that Nilu misunderstood that the child Shenhe was holding was her own daughter, Ying shrugged helplessly and said:

"There's no other way. Shen He was afraid that I would get tired holding the baby, so we took turns holding him."

"But, Shen He never got tired, so he just kept holding me... um..."

Seeing that Nilu recognized Ying's daughter in her arms as her own daughter, Shen He said with a complicated expression: "My baby? Hmm..."

"She's not my daughter, but she's better than my daughter..."

At this time, Nilu didn't pay much attention to the family relationship of Ying's family, and guessed who the father of the child was.

"Then...is this baby Ying and Mr. Shao Yun's?"

A gentle smile appeared on Ying's lips, and she nodded heavily.

"Yes, my daughter is already three months old now."

Upon hearing this, Nilu simply calculated in her mind the time when Ying became pregnant... Doesn't that mean that Ying became pregnant a year ago!

Nilu came forward and observed Ying's baby carefully.

Shen He naturally handed the child in her arms to her. When the baby saw Ni Lu looking at her, he blinked his big crystal blue eyes and also observed Ni Lu.

Although a three-month-old baby cannot recognize people, his vision has already formed...

Seeing the baby looking at her, Nilu's heart melted.

"So cute, what's the baby's name?"

Just as Ying was about to speak, Paimon had already floated over to Nilu's side and complained, "The name Ying gave you has only one character, 'Xi'. I'm telling you, I don't know how to complain anymore!"

"Ying, Kong, and now Xi, the names are all chosen one by one!

(Smelly Paimon...homo!)

After listening to Paimon's complaints, Nilu didn't think there was anything wrong with the name. Instead, she nodded seriously and praised:

"I think this name has a great meaning! It's like the morning sun, warm and powerful. She's sure to be a lively and cheerful girl when she grows up!"

"Also, if we use the Sumerian language to address her, she should be called 'Dia Fajer,' which means the brilliance of the morning light. Isn't that fitting?"

Ying crossed her arms and carefully savored the Sumeru language name.

"I didn't know there was such a saying! My daughter's name, Xumi, really does sound sunny and has a more vivid image than just the word 'Xi'."

"The word 'Xi' is very meaningful." Ni Lu smiled and waved her hand, her eyes fell back on the baby in Shen He's arms, teasing it gently.

"Look at the way she blinks now, it's like the morning light just breaking through the clouds. What a fitting name."
