Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

"Hu Tao?" Bai Chu was stunned for a moment.

"Peach's peach?"

"Naughty naughty..."

That's it...

Looking at the face that looked exactly like... no, exactly like Hu Tao, Bai Chu nodded silently.

In other words, Hu Tao might be the reincarnation of Hu Tao?

Forget it, it's useless to think so much. By the time he can see Hu Tao, it will be thousands of years later.

"Um..." Seeing that he remained silent, Hu Tao couldn't help but speak.

"who are you?"

"Me? A traveler, my name is Bai Chu."

Bai Chu waved his hand and said casually.

He is indeed a traveler, isn't he traveling now?

After raising those two careless ones, he will travel everywhere.

"Bai Chu..." Hu Tao nodded, not paying much attention to his name.

Perhaps thinking of those villagers, her eyes were a little distracted.

She was a little overwhelmed and confused.

What should I do now?

"I, I can..."

"You have nowhere to go now, do you want to come with me?"

"…Why?"

Hu Tao blinked and looked at Bai Chu in surprise.

I was just about to ask if I could go with him, and then this person took the initiative?

Bai Chu didn't think too much. He just felt that he would be a little worried if Hu Tao was left alone.

Anyway, it’s not a big deal, so I’ll help if I can. We’re all from Liyue.

After collecting the materials, just help her build a house when she returns, and the villagers probably won't have any objections.

After all, he is also a "godly envoy", and Hu Tao, who was brought back by him, might even be regarded as a "goddess".

Zhongli is the rock god, so he is the envoy of the god, so Hu Tao...

Zhongli's illegitimate daughter?

After thinking about it, he didn't hold back and laughed.

Hu Tao didn't know why he was laughing, but she wasn't in the mood to ask now.

She hugged her legs and sat up, burying her little face in her legs, looking like an autistic girl. However, this is normal.

After all, that kind of thing happened, so it's okay that she's not clamoring for revenge or anything like that now.

"Hey, eat something."

Suddenly, a scent of fragrance broke into her nasal cavity, and Bai Chu's voice sounded again. She raised her head and saw Bai Chu holding a bowl of white porridge and carefully placing it in front of her.

"You haven't eaten well these days. Let's drink some porridge first. Come on, open your mouth."

"I can do it myself..."

"Open your mouth."

This kid is still trying to be brave.

Bai Chu knocked her head and said angrily.

Hu Tao already had a fever when she was unconscious, and it took him a lot of effort to get her fever to go down.

Hu Tao hesitated for a moment, then slightly opened his pale, bloodless lips.

"what…"

Bai Chu carefully cooled the porridge before feeding it to her, and then asked expectantly: "How is it?"

"This is my first time cooking porridge for others, isn't it burnt?"

In fact, he originally wanted the system to cook it for him, but after the system scolded him and threw him a bag of rice, he had to do it himself.

Although he thought about learning to cook and borrowed ingredients from the system, Zhongli stopped eating after the first two times.

Or later, he was worried that it was unhealthy for Xiao Zhongli to eat fast food all day long, so he forced him to eat.

In order to make him eat, he also watched a lot of cooking videos seriously.

Seeing her eyes gradually brightening, Bai Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

so far so good.

Although I haven't eaten the porridge, it looks pretty good.

"good to eat…"

Hu Tao swallowed the porridge silently. The porridge was not very hot, and Bai Chu blew it just right.

But she felt astringent in her eyes.

I want to cry, but I can no longer cry.

"Uh...really?" Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, Bai Chu felt a little doubtful.

It looked good just now, but now it's so bad that I'm about to cry?

Does it really taste bad?

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Chu took a taste himself, with a puzzled expression on his face.

not bad?

In order to suit the little girl's taste, he asked the system for some sugar. It tasted so sweet that even he, who didn't like porridge, wanted to take a few more sips.

Why, is Hu Tao a salty party member?

“Really, really delicious…”

Hu Tao's dried tear glands became active again, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

It's delicious, just like what her mother made for her when she was little.

Although it wasn't rice porridge, it was the best porridge she had ever tasted.

…However, it is no longer possible to taste that taste again.

Her mother is already asleep.

"It seems like I'm thinking about my family again..."

Bai Chu sighed, put the bowl aside, stretched out his hand to take Hu Tao into his arms, without saying a word, just patted her back gently.

This kid needs to vent properly now.

"Dad, mom..."

Being held in his arms, Hu Tao seemed to have found support and burst into tears.

The fear, anxiety, and sadness of these days... were released without any scruples at this moment.

With tears in his eyes, Hu Tao seemed to see a familiar figure.

The two figures were waving to her as if saying goodbye.

She felt this was not an illusion.

However, when she wanted to reach out her hand, the hazy scene suddenly shattered. Then, her consciousness fell into darkness.

"are you asleep?"

I don’t know how long I cried before Hu Tao’s movements subsided.

Noticing that Hu Tao's breathing gradually became steady, Bai Chu gently laid her down on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then picked up the porridge and drank it.

One porridge and one meal, when thinking is hard-won;

No matter how unpalatable it is, we can’t waste food, right? However, some people are already wasting food when cooking.

As for who you are talking about, I won’t say.

"I wonder if those two little things have been eaten now."

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Liuyun, and then he shook his head vigorously and shuddered all over.

Wait, he's not a real nanny. Why do they care?

Anyway, there is food at home, so I won’t starve to death.

However, he felt that those two people probably didn't eat anything. After all, neither Xiao Liuyun nor Xiao Zhongli seemed to have ever cooked.

Little Zhongli would soak some noodles in hot water, which would make him a complete loser.

Although he is still a child, he seems to have seen the social loser who never pays the bill in the future.

"Forget it, don't think about that, go to sleep."

Bai Chu yawned, washed the bowl casually, and then made a bed beside the bed.

You can't crawl into bed and sleep with Hu Tao, right? Even if people don't mind, he does.

Although his appearance has not aged, and he is even younger, he is still in his thirties or forties now. What is going on with sleeping with a little girl?

Lying on the ground, Bai Chu didn't care and fell asleep after a while.

Silent all night.

The next day, when Bai Chu woke up, Hu Tao was sitting next to him, looking down at him. Seeing him open his eyes, Hu Tao blushed and wanted to explain in a panic.

"Well, I, I see you lying on the floor, and I want you to come and sleep on the bed..."

However, she really didn't have the strength to carry Bai Chu to the bed.

Bai Chu didn't say anything, just smiled, then stood up, cleared the floor, and patted her head.

"Is there anything else to pack?"

"No, no more..."

What else?

There is nothing left.

Hu Tao's expression darkened. Seeing this, Bai Chu shook his head helplessly.

This was a knot in her heart, and it was useless no matter how much he said.

However, Hu Tao still got a hat in the end.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Bai Chu held a torch and looked a little hesitant.

"is this okay?"

"Well..." Hu Tao held back tears and nodded gently.

"There's nothing here anymore... By doing this, they won't be bothered by those things anymore."

"alright."

Should I say that this child was born to do funerals?

Flames covered the entire village. In the blazing flames, Hu Tao seemed to see something, and his eyes gradually opened wide.

She seemed to see many people waving to her.

what is that?

Hu Tao doesn't know. However, she could feel it.

Those people were grateful, reluctant, and worried about her.

"...soul?"

Bai Chu also saw it.

In Teyvat's worldview, there is a concept of soul.

He felt as if the men were pleading with him. Looking down at Hu Tao, who had his eyes closed and his hands clasped in front of him, Bai Chu nodded silently.

"I'll take good care of her."

What else could he do?

After those hazy figures disappeared, Bai Chu took Hu Tao's hand and turned to leave.

The village also gradually dimmed in the flames.

Life is impermanent, and death is like a lamp going out.

The dead have passed away, and the living should live well.
