After pondering for a moment, Zhongli finally shook his head, his face as calm as water.

"Zhongli! Ningzhe is going to read a book this afternoon, let's go read it together?"

Suddenly, a walnut jumped out of nowhere, blinking its bright plum blossom pupils and looking excited.

"Storytelling...? According to the time, shouldn't he be competing in a month-to-month competition?"

"Hey, how can those people be Ningzhe's opponents? He has finished and returned to the bookstore a long time ago!"

"in this case..."

Zhongli held his chin and thought for a while, then finally nodded: "Okay, it's also good to listen to a book."

"Okay~"

After receiving Zhongli's response, Hutao ran back to the room happily, as if he wanted to prepare something to surprise Ningzhe.

Seeing the hall master's appearance, Zhongli just shook his head and chuckled twice, then returned his gaze to the birdcage.

The small and delicate spotted-chinned bird spread its wings several times in the birdcage, but it did not flap its wings, but chirped quietly outside.
