Intertwined Snakes // BAIZHU X READER

chapter 26

- Tell me. - said (Y/N) for the fifth time that day. 

"I already told you." said Pinyin with an annoyed tone. "It's better if you see for yourself once you're back" 

(Y/N) had been trying to pry out of Pinyin what had happened at her house, but the goddess kept telling her it was best if she knew when she got back to Liyue.

- Pinyin!

"Nope. Go write a letter to Baizhu, come on. Oh, and he doesn't know yet what happened." said Pinyin, with a monotone voice. 

- Has she given in yet? - asked Zhongli, sitting next to (Y/N), who was still clueless of what to write to Baizhu.

- Ugh, no... - (Y/N) put her forehead on the table. 

- Alhaitham, stop being lazy and help with dinner! - Kaveh yelled angrily from the kitchen. 

- Coming. - Alhaitham replied, but didn't move from the couch.

Childe and Collei were already awake, but Kaveh had forbidden them from moving in case they got worse. Tighnari was already up and about, still limping, but he could already walk. Hu Tao sat on the chair on (Y/N)'s other side and leaned her head on her hand, pouting. 

- Collei still doesn't want my 2x1 coupon... - she muttered. 

- Come on, (Y/N), cheer up. - said Tighnari, who sat opposite her. - Maybe it's good news and she doesn't want to spoil the surprise for you. 

- I don't think so... - said (Y/N). - I heard her talking with my mom, but I didn't make out what they said. 

- Alhaitham! - Kaveh repeated angrily. 

- Coming. - Alhaitham said and, groaning with an annoyed face and he finally stood up and went to help his boyfriend.

- How are Collei and Childe? - asked Zhongli.

- Well, Collei is okay, I just talked to her. - said Hu Tao. - And she still-

- -says she doesn't want a coupon. - (Y/N) smiled, rolling her eyes. - What about Childe?

- Childe is stable. - said Zhongli. - Or at least, he was stable enough to pull off a joke when I last went into his room. 

(Y/N) sighed and nodded.

- How are you feeling, Tighnari? - said Kaveh, bringing in a big plate of food.

- Better. - he smiled. - Thank you. 

- Where do I put the trays? - asked Alhaitham from the kitchen. 

- Those are for Collei and Childe, Haitham! - said Kaveh, rolling his eyes.

- 'Kay. - he said and went out of the kitchen with two trays, one in each arm and went into the hallway that connected the rooms. 

Kaveh sat next to Tighnari and sighed. 

- He's so stupid sometimes. - he said.

- Yet, you're still going out with him. - said Tighnari, smiling.

- Shut up. - said Kaveh and everyone chuckled. 

Once everyone was full, each of them went to their own business. Zhongli went with Tighnari and Hu Tao to pick flowers and forced (Y/N) to stay at Alhaitham's and Kaveh's house, just in case. Kaveh went to the Akademiya to research something about building materials. Collei and Childe were resting while Alhaitham helped (Y/N) with her letter.

Dear Baizhu,

How are you feeling?
