Chapter 11

tok! tok! pound pound!

The window is rattling, not like the sound of being blown by the wind.

Looking up, under the darkness of night, there is a black outline.

Mona, like a frightened bunny, immediately attacked.

Snapped-

A stream of water burst out, and the upper half of the glass shattered.

Summer fell back on the ground, a damp coolness from his collar.

"It almost broke!"

He quickly touched his chin, he was still so handsome, so he was relieved.

Mona hid in the corner and secretly glanced out the window.

Finding out that it was Summer, she opened the window unhappily.

"Why are you scaring people...are you a child?"

Halfway through speaking, she could smell the aroma of potatoes on the tip of her nose.

Mona only ate apples picked in the wild for dinner, no matter how thrifty she live, it is impossible not to be hungry.

Seeing Mona swallowing her saliva unconsciously, Summer handed over the hot potato cakes: "Here you go."

The windows are flush with the ground, so Summer has to squat to look at Mona.

Mona sniffed at the tip of her nose, resisted the temptation, and turned her head: "I don't want it, a great astrologer will never accept this kind of charity!"

Of course, being firm is a good thing, but at this time, he wants to open her head to see if she is missing something in her.

"Then are you willing to eat it?" He dangled in front of Mona with a potato cake

"For example, help me with divination or something? It shouldn't be difficult for a great astrologer, right?"

Unexpectedly, Mona frowned and looked angry: "Water divination is a very sacred thing, how can it be exchanged with food?"

He forgot the setting, Mona's divination does not charge money, so she is so poor.

"Thanks to your reminder, it's time." Mona lay on the windowsill and looked at the sky: "11 o'clock tonight is the best time for divination."

The sense of ritual is very important, put on the magic hat again, comb her hair neatly, and don't forget to warn: "Don't disturb me, I want to see tomorrow's fortune."

Her hands crossed against the sky, and transparent soft water spread out, and the water reflected the starry sky, which was clearer than any mirror surface.

"What flickers in the starry sky is everyone's destiny. Although the reflection on the water is an illusion, the 'reality' will manifest itself..."

Water occupies the plate, the nebula rotates, and the light and shadow are intertwined.

Summer was amazed at the magic at such a close distance. The starry sky reflected by the water was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

When the starry sky disappeared, the water plate dissipated, and the divination that lasted less than a minute ended.

"A lucky day for two consecutive days? But I don't seem to have encountered anything good today, and I have to pay the balance of the astrograph tomorrow..."

Mona was not happy with the result: "The water divination for myself is not really accurate."

"I think it's pretty accurate. If you're short of money, maybe I can help you."

Hearing Mona's sigh, Summer immediately felt relieved.

"Are you going to give me money?" Mona asked.

"Do you think there will be free lunch in this world?" Summer pointed, "I want to make a deal with you."

"Deal?" Mona was puzzled and stated her position: "First declare that you don't want to use the money to corrupt my water divination!"

The squatting body leaned forward, and he stretched out his hand:

"If you let me stay for a night, I can pay you a sum of money..."

boom!

Without saying a word, she closed the window that caused his nose to get hit.

At the same time, it is accompanied by the sound of Mona stammering because she is too surprised or angry:

"you you you…"

Summer covered his nose and explained through the cracked window, "I'm talking about sleeping! It's sleeping! What are you thinking!"

In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. If you encounter someone cruel or powerful, such as the most popular one in the Liyue Seven Stars. (Liyue Qixing)

"Sleep?"

Hearing his explanation, Mona hurriedly relaxed her expression but did not open the window again.

"I didn't think about it!" Mona defended: "Even if it's an overnight stay, it's unacceptable so suddenly..."

"I have just come to Mondstadt, and I have no place to sleep today, it can be regarded as saving me..."

"If there is an income that can be used to pay the debt... it seems to be good..."

"No, no, no! What if he targets me? Isn't that just like letting in a wolf into the room..."

"The old woman also said that men can't be trusted..."

The hesitation in her heart is fully highlighted, and Summer has a dramatic view, increasing the sympathy offensive:

"It's really cold outside, I really can't find anyone I can ask for, for the sake of helping you..."

"The debt for helping me has been paid for by inviting you to eat!"

Listening to Mona's tone, he thought it was over, but she then hesitantly said:

"If you're staying overnight...it's not impossible, but..."

"Eight hundred per night, no, nine hundred... or one thousand!"

After thinking about it for a while, Mona stretched out eight fingers and spread her hands behind her.

Even if it was cut in half, it would be acceptable to cut it directly to a hundred moras for one night.

"In the place where I lived, people generally like lucky numbers. How about 999 in one night?"

The counter-offer of summer made Mona stunned:

"Are you willing to spend 999 moras to live with me? Although all the hotels in Mondstadt were used by the envoys of the Winter Kingdom, some of them were missed! And this house is rented by me..."

Mondstadt has a hotel, this is outdated information, but he doesn't have a plan to look for it at this hour.

"First of all, I allow you to live here not because of Mora, but I just thought you were pitiful, yes, just because I thought you were pitiful, definitely not because of Mora!"

Mona explained it very seriously, but her eyes that moved from time to time didn't cooperate.

The hands that held the window were released, and Summer was allowed to jump into the room from the window sill.

"Where do I sleep?"

But before he took two steps, something blocked his feet.

There are all kinds of things scattered in the room, and it doesn't look like a home at all.

Relying on the faint light, he simply glanced around.

Liyue's ancient book, Xumi's astrolabe... These things cost a lot of money for postage alone, no wonder she was so poor.

"Don't move, you will break my babies!"

Mona hurriedly stops Summer to prevent her important treasures from being trampled.

Then, under his strange eyes, she said while squirming: "There's a slight mess in the room..."

"Then you are humble..." Summer scratched his head helplessly.

"Where is the slight mess, there is simply no place to stay... The more beautiful the girl is, the more chaotic it is. Is this true?"

Some words only dare to keep in my heart to avoid getting pierced by water.
