Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Chapter 222: Me, me, I am also a Zhidong person?

A somewhat ethereal girl's voice sounded, and Cheng Yan's ears felt numb for a moment.

He raised his hand to rub his ears while taking out candy for the girl named Columbia.

I took out several boxes at once, with different flavors made from different fruits.

"You have a very good nose. Here, all these are for you."

Columbia stared at the colorful candies for a moment, stretched out her slender white fingers to pick up one, and put it in her mouth.

The eyes covered with ribbons stared at Cheng Yan without blinking, and the sound of candy hitting teeth came from her mouth.

"good to eat."

Cheng Yan looked at the girl who was almost as tall as his shoulder. The satisfied look on her face while holding the candy made her look very cute.

"If it tastes good, eat more. These are all for you. I can make more after you finish eating."

He said pushing the candy towards her.

Columbia did not show any joy on her face. The candy was crushed with a crunch. Columbia withdrew her gaze, sat back in her original position as if nothing had happened, and lay back on the table, ignoring the stunned Cheng Yan.

"cough."

Sandoni seemed to have anticipated Columbia's reaction. He closed the lid of the candy and pushed it back to Cheng Yan.

"Don't mind it. She's just like that. She'll stop eating after eating one. She'll come to you next time she wants to eat."

Cheng Yan had a puzzled expression on his face, and he wanted to ask why Columbia didn't just take the candy away.

Someone pulled his hand and Dotore stood up.

"Next time, let her come to me."

Sandoni raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and then took all the candies on the table in his arms.

"Forget it, I'll keep it for her."

The clashing sound of the tin boxes soon disappeared, and Lataf collected the candies for Sandoni.

The room returned to silence. Cheng Yan sank into the wide chair and looked towards a pair of eyes that had never moved away from him since the beginning.

"Um... Master Piero? Why are you looking at me?"

The sight was so obvious that he could no longer ignore it. Cheng Yan looked at the mysterious middle-aged man who was wearing half a mask.

Piero seemed to have finally found a reason to talk to Cheng Yan openly, and his eyes were fixed on Cheng Yan's eyes.

"You are from Liyue, so you must be familiar with everything in Liyue."

Cheng Yan thought for a moment, then said, "I guess so, but I haven't been to Liyue for a long time. I wonder if it has changed now."

Piero's tone improved after hearing his admission.

"That's enough. Since you are familiar with the place, Her Majesty the Queen will visit Liyue soon. You will contact the envoy of Liyue on behalf of Zhidong."

Cheng Yan: “……!”

I immediately shook my head and wanted to refuse. Him? Representing Zhidong? Absolutely not!

"In fact, I am not that familiar with Liyue. For something as important as Zhidong's reputation, it is better to choose a more reliable person. I am unfamiliar with the place."

Piero narrowed his eyes. "You mean, as a new executive officer, and the zeroth seat, the head of the executive officers, you can't even complete the first mission given to you by Her Majesty the Queen?"

"The zeroth seat?"

Cheng Yan felt so uncomfortable that he almost stood up from his chair.

Isn't the executive officer a respectable bodyguard? Even if Zan Zan and the others have other abilities, what is he? !

Piero snorted lightly, his tone carrying a hint of subtle contempt.

"This is what Her Majesty the Queen meant. Her Majesty has bestowed upon you the highest honor, but you are not grateful and are instead shirking your mission?"

Cheng Yan suddenly felt a little regretful. He felt like he had entered a den of thieves.

Cheng Yan's thigh was touched by Dotole and he turned around, with an expression on his face that looked like he was about to cry.

Dotole rubbed the back of his hand to comfort him, "It's okay, I will help you."

Piero was still staring at Cheng Yan, as if he would execute him on the spot if Cheng Yan did not agree.

"Okay... okay."

Wuuuuu… Lord Emperor, please forgive me.
