Genshin Impact Simulation: Starting with Melsin's Friend

Chapter 394 Before the Chapter of Romance (5)

Ultimately, after a democratic vote, Barbara was silenced during the luncheon by a vote of one to two.

The pastor was very upset, so she vented her frustration on the boiled fish on the table and ate three bowls of it.

Of course, in reality, no one would actually try to take it from her.

After all, this level of spiciness is specially prepared for young girls. If an ordinary person were to try it easily, the first thing they would probably do is go to the Northern Bank to buy insurance for their tongue.

Before long, lunch came to an end as usual, with Mu Feng and Barbara scrambling for the last piece of fried meat.

This time, it's a victory for Pastor Prayer.

Barbara, with a slightly proud and victorious expression, devoured the fried meat, while Mu Feng, resigned, gave a French salute and reached out to wipe the sauce off her lips.

Qin, sitting to the side, also showed a rare smile, clearly indicating that the relaxed atmosphere had also brought her a good mood.

However, the thought of the piles of official documents in her study made her head ache again.

"Barbara, Xiaofeng, I'm going upstairs to work now. Please remember to remind me when it's time for afternoon tea."

Qin glanced at the wall clock, and before leaving, she couldn't help but look at the kettle bubbling away in the kitchen.

The enticing aroma of coffee clearly indicated that Qin's true intention wasn't afternoon tea, but rather had already flown into the burning coffee pot.

But what can you do when Xiaofeng brought back new coffee beans today?

Thinking of that mellow aroma with a hint of bitterness, the girl's steps seemed much lighter than usual.

The wind stopped, the rain ceased, and Qin felt she could do it again.

Approving fifty documents now would be no problem.

"Sister...you really are... passionate about your work..."

Watching the study door close once again, Barbara blinked and couldn't help but mutter a weak complaint.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but my sister's dedication to her work has somehow surpassed her dependence on coffee.

Mu Feng sighed, rubbing his forehead. If Qin's first reaction when she had free time wasn't to sneak a peek at romance novels or work, then either he was crazy, or the world was crazy.

I just hope the coffee I bought will last for another 15 days.

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, and without a word, they both gave the same wry smile.

Without Lady Jean, the Gunnhild family would most likely fall apart.

The maids seized the opportunity to clear away the leftovers and served dessert. As for Qin's portion, someone would naturally take it to the study.

"Hmm... By the way, brother, the Grand Commander just called you. Is there any new mission from the Knights Order recently?"

Barbara popped a chestnut-brown crème brûlée into her mouth while mumbling a question, seemingly unintentionally.

The increasing number of girls around her brother made the girl feel a clear sense of crisis, especially since her brother seemed to be showing a tendency to accept anyone who came his way.

As his sister, she naturally has the obligation to correct her brother's wrongdoings, find out his whereabouts and seize the initiative... Preventing accidents is obviously very necessary!

For example, the much-anticipated Flower Festival.

The pastor convinced herself, not because she wanted to monopolize her brother's time.

"Oh, about the mission, I was just about to say that I might have to go to Qingquan Town in the next few days before the Wind Flower Festival."

Mu Feng didn't think much of it, but his innate vigilance made him lower his voice slightly. Seeing that the servants around him didn't seem to be acting strangely, he felt a little relieved.

However, this caution seems a bit unnecessary, since only he and Falga know about the plan.

As for the other arrangements, they are just routine defenses for the annual Feng Hua Festival, which is the core of this plan.

Otherwise, how could a real big fish take the bait so easily?

Upon hearing this, Barbara's expression clearly showed disappointment. Worse still, she remembered something else terrible.

"Will we have enough time for the performance on the night of the Flower Festival?"

Mu Feng awkwardly scratched his head, unable to utter a single word of refusal in the face of Barbara's pitiful expression.

"Well... I'll do my best. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to make it tonight's performance."

The most lively and grandest flower-offering ceremony of the Feng Hua Festival is held on the afternoon of the first day. If one wants to sneak across the border when security is at its weakest, it will likely be around this time.

If he's lucky, he might even make it back in time for a meal of Yora's special Tidal Wave Pie, which he's been craving for a long time.

The proud young lady only gets a few chances a year to cook for herself, and if she misses it, there won't be another chance for her to make up for it.

As for Amber's flying competition, that was the next morning. By then, everything on the Fatui's side had settled down, and he had time to enjoy his vacation.

A flawless plan indeed; he truly is Gumond, the god of time management, managing to stagger the timing so precisely…

"Brother, I think you're thinking about bad things right now."

Barbara's somber tone sent a shiver down Mu Feng's spine. This familiar prelude set off alarm bells in his mind, instantly making him realize that his little jealous wife was about to overturn.

"Ahaha... Sorry, Barbara, I was daydreaming."

While marveling at the girl's accurate sixth sense, Mu Feng opened his arms apologetically and gave her a hug.

The apology was clearly sincere. Barbara pouted slightly and buried her face in his chest as if to vent her anger.

Fine, I'll let it go since it's rare for my brother to be so sensible.

Mu Feng patted her back helplessly, wondering whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that this girl was so clingy to him.

But Barbara didn't care about any of that. The girl snuggled against him affectionately, like a docile little kitten.

It seems she doesn't intend to let go anytime soon.

When Mu Feng sensed that things were going badly, he was already deeply involved.

"Barbara, I mean, could you..."

"No, the hug is like an advance payment from your brother."

Seeing that Barbara seemed to have anticipated his words, Mu Feng could only admit defeat and become a good body pillow.

In the end, it was the sound of the coffee pot bubbling and the lid closing that saved Mu Feng from his younger sister's hugging trap.

Mu Feng, carrying coffee, made a hasty escape under the pretext of bringing Qin afternoon tea. Judging from Barbara's smiling expression, how could he not understand that he had actually been tricked by his own sister?

However, the little girl seemed to have a natural talent for being endearing; she would cross her arms and act cute, and no one could get angry with her.

ID I'm not a siscon: I say Barbara is the best in the world, who agrees and who disagrees?
