My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

The owner of the refreshment shop, the mother-in-law, and Noelle were not relatives, but the relationship was between recipient and helper.

The elderly shop owner once purchased a batch of flour and tea leaves to supply the daily operation needs of the refreshment shop. However, the worker who had agreed to help with the transportation suddenly had a family emergency and was unable to come.

At that time, the shop owner's mother-in-law risked a waist injury and planned to move the wooden cart full of flour and tea leaves to the store's warehouse. Noelle showed up in time and completed the moving work in a few seconds. The shop owner wanted to give a moola as a thank you. As a result, she waved her hand and refused, saying,"There are still people who need help" and ran away.

The old woman failed to repay the girl who helped her in time to prevent her old waist from being injured, but she did not forget her kindness.

Now that Noelle finally had some free time, she came to the refreshment shop. The old shopkeeper was just about to bring out delicious snacks for her and the honorary knight for free. Unexpectedly, she heard another good news.

"Excuse me, did little Noelle successfully pass the selection and become the Knight of the West Wind?"

The mother-in-law, the owner of the refreshment shop, had a surprised expression.

"Yes, Qin and I unanimously agreed on her excellence. Everyone who wanted to watch this selection also realized Noelle’s strength."

"It hasn't been officially awarded yet. Tomorrow is the ceremony for the Knights of the West Wind."

"Great, now it’s time to have a big meal to celebrate. Besides black tea and sweet desserts, what else do you want to eat? Although I am not in the catering business like The Deer Hunter, I can still cook Mondstadt’s traditional cuisine despite my age."

"Noelle likes satisfying salad, please make two portions"

"no problem."

The old woman's weather-beaten face was full of a kind smile. She brewed black tea, took out snacks, and made salad.

Taking advantage of the free time in the meantime, Hua Yi teased Noelle.

"Are there hundreds or thousands of people in Mondstadt who have been helped by you like this shopkeeper? Maybe if you stand high and raise your arms, most of Mondstadt will be turbulent because of you."

"Hua, Hua Yi, please stop teasing me."

The knight girl lowered her head with a red face, clenched her white catkins, raised her eyes again after a moment, and looked at Hua Yi with an extremely serious and grateful expression.

"Thanks. Thank you for always taking care of me, guiding me, and encouraging me. If it were not for the honorary knight, I would definitely not be able to pass the selection."

"It’s so absolute. With your excellence, you are destined to become a Knight of the West Wind, and you will achieve even greater achievements in the future."

"But if you hadn't made an exception and allowed me to enter the Knights as a clerk and broaden my horizons, the time to pass the selection would have been delayed for several years. There are only so many years in a person's life."

After the words fell, Noelle was reminded by his own words.

It is precisely because life is short and the honorary knight has the grand goal of traveling across the continent of Tewater that he cannot return to Mondstadt often, so he should cherish this time together..

The girl took a few deep breaths to encourage herself, and with what she thought was a hidden movement, she quietly moved the seat, hoping to get closer to Hua Yi.

She had extraordinary strength and could move an ordinary chair. It takes no effort, but the problem is that the most important thing when putting it down is to be careful, not strength.

The refreshment shop is very quiet, there are no musicians playing music, and there are no bards singing poems, some are just at noon Bright sunshine.

In such a quiet environment, no matter how subtle the friction between the chair corner and the ground is, as long as it makes a sound, even if a pin falls, it will be noticed.

Squeak.

When the small friction sound sounds, Nuo El's face froze, and the blood all over her body flowed faster, converging towards her face.

She knew that with the strength and wisdom of the prestigious Honorary Knight, he would be able to hear strange noises and guess her childish thoughts.

Squeak.

In cuteness Before the girl's emotional fluctuations reached the maximum, there was another friction sound.

This time the sound was not caused by Noel's movements, but by Hua Yi.

He moved his seat without concealment, connecting himself with the new Xifeng The distance between the knights narrowed.

It was so close that it was as if he could feel the warmth of both sides' breaths.

Hua Yi grabbed Noelle's hand and observed it. He saw that the girl who had been practicing swordplay for many years and had done many menial and heavy tasks did not have any calluses on her hands. , scratching her tender palms funny

"It seems that we have a good understanding"

"Woo……"

Noelle let out a cry of happiness and was about to faint. The sound of footsteps approaching from far away made her have to try to adjust her mood quickly. However, her red face did not obey her master's will at all. She could only turn her face away and pretend. Looking at the scenery outside the window to avoid being noticed by the shop owner’s mother-in-law

"This is the best black tea in the store, as well as some of my favorite snacks, and two plates of satisfying salads. There are bird eggs in the salad, but they don't seem to be enough to make you hungry. I added some ham that I made myself. You can try it and see if it suits the taste."

The kind old shop owner enthusiastically invited Hua Yi and Noelle to try it.

However, a plate of satisfying salad was placed in front of them. If Noelle followed the instructions and tried it, he would have to turn around.

The girl, who was full of emotional fluctuations, was concerned. There was no need to worry about the details, Hua Yi kindly provided help.

He picked up a piece of ham with a fork and brought it to her mouth.

The intimate feeding gesture made the old shop owner next to him, who was very happy for Noelle pass the selection, look on his face. Added a little more peaceful smile

"It seems to be to your taste, so you eat slowly, and I will--oh, there are several kinds of black tea leaves that are almost used up. I will go to the warehouse to get some. In a few minutes... no, I'm afraid it will be over in dozens of minutes. There is no way I can accept your additional orders, but these snacks and salads are probably enough to last for a while, so please use them slowly."

Understanding the deep meaning of the old woman's words, Noel panicked a little when he saw her turning around and leaving.

"Mr. Hua, Mr. Huayi, this is a refreshment shop that is open after all. New customers may come in at any time. Please stop teasing me. At least, go to a place where you will not be disturbed.……"

"This is not a joke, it is an action based on the love in my heart. I always feel that I have become a bullying villain. Is it because I have caused trouble to you and made you hate it? Noelle"

"no! I don't hate it at all, on the contrary, I like it very much……"
