The distance to the village was almost there, and Su Ping laughed in his heart, because this time he survived the disaster again.

As for Gan Yu, who was the one who helped the most, Su Ping remembered everything she did in his heart. He did not say it out loud, but he remembered it exactly.

At this moment, Gan Yu was still walking behind the father and son, with a slight sadness under her normal expression, because she wanted to ask something but felt it was difficult to open her mouth, and she didn't know if asking like this would backfire.

After coming out of Qianyan Military Camp, Ganyu was in a state of confusion all the way. Her heart seemed to be split in two and was extremely touched.

This dilemma continued until they reached the village entrance. If Su Ping had not looked back and said something, it would probably have continued.

Su Ping turned around and said to the child who was held by his father's hand: "Sister Ganyu, I'm almost home. You have something to do in South Village, right?"

"Yes..." Ganyu nodded and answered blankly, seeming to have recovered.

Su Ping smiled and said, "Good luck, Sister Ganyu. Goodbye!"

He wasn't thinking about leaving quickly after the job was done, but based on what he had heard before, he knew that the other party still had a job, and he felt that he had troubled the other party for so long that it would be inappropriate to continue.

As for inviting him home to sit down, Su Ping felt that this was not a good idea, after all, his home was just a small wooden house...

In short, Su Ping would remember her kindness to him, and when he became successful in the future, he would definitely express his feelings to her. But for now, he couldn't do it.

After saying this, Su Ping pulled his father, obviously wanting to go home, because he remembered that his father said that his mother was still waiting at home.

Su Yue waved, said goodbye, and prepared to take his son home.

These two sudden goodbyes finally brought Ganyu back to her senses, and she made a decision after struggling.

Once a decision is made, action must be taken; otherwise, the decision will be in vain, as it is just intention without action.

So, Gan Yu gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great determination and mustered up great courage, and finally said, "Su Ping, can you do me a favor?"

These surprising words, as well as the fact that there was no other request, made Su Ping turn around, look at the expectation in the other party's eyes, and agree.

After agreeing, Ganyu did not explain but remained silent.

Su Ping could roughly figure out the reason, so he looked up at his father and said, "Dad, please go back first. I'll go help Sister Ganyu."

"Okay, if anything happens, remember to come home." Su Yue gave a few instructions and then walked towards home.

Looking at his father's back as he walked away, Su Ping withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the beautiful woman. He smiled and asked, "Sister Ganyu, what do you need my help with?"

Gan Yu's eyes flashed, and she squatted down in front of him. With her watery eyes, she looked at this somewhat special child, and opened her thin lips slightly: "Su Ping, do you know... what I am?"

"Sister Ganyu is a human being, and a very good person at that!" Su Ping answered without revealing any flaws, with a childlike smile on his chubby face.

Ganyu smiled, but underneath the smile was a bitterness that lingered for a long time. She suddenly felt a little regretful and thought that she shouldn't have asked.

After all, the other party is still a child in her eyes, and children's time is supposed to be happy and carefree. If a rift is created because of her own problems, then... she will find it difficult to feel at ease.

Su Ping looked at her smile and saw the bitterness contained in it, as well as a hint of regret. He took it all in and thought about it, but remained calm on the surface.

It was quiet, very quiet all of a sudden. It was already noon, and most of the people working in the fields had gone home for lunch. There were no other pedestrians on the village road, so they were not disturbed.

One was standing, the other was squatting, they were all silent, as if waiting for something.

While Su Ping was waiting, his eyes never left the other person's face. At such a close distance, he could clearly appreciate the pair of graceful eyes. There was also a faint fragrance in his nose, which made him instinctively take a step back.

But as if he had sensed something was wrong, Su Ping took a step back and stepped back to where he was. He lowered his head slightly and looked at her, and said softly, "Sister Ganyu, is this the only question you have?"

Ganyu looked at the child, shook her head slightly, and said nothing.

Su Ping opened his mouth, wanting to guide her to speak faster, or to tactfully ask her to talk about it another day. After all, they were so close to each other, and the woman was so beautiful. He would inevitably lose his composure when he was not prepared. If he was rude, that would be bad.

Ganyu looked at the child with a flickering gaze, and finally spoke again, saying slowly: "Actually, I am not a real human. I am the bloodline of the fairy beast Qilin and a human!"

After he finished speaking, Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, as if he couldn't close it no matter what, as if he had heard something extremely shocking, but in fact, there was no ripple in his heart, because it was not the first time he had heard it.

But he didn't quite understand why such things had to be told to a child like him who looked only eight years old?

Ganyu looked at him, his eyes seemed full of shock and disbelief, but there was no such thing as a gap or a barrier, as if there had been a separation from then on. There was no such distant look in his eyes.

This was a look that almost anyone had never shown before, after knowing who she was. Even the Tianshu Stars of this generation who were familiar with her hesitated for a while.

This was just a look of shock, seemingly unique and something she had never imagined.

Not long after, Su Ping swallowed his saliva, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled and said, "So, Sister Ganyu is from the Immortal Family?!"

"Yeah." Gan Yu nodded without hesitation, but she didn't expect that the first question the child asked would be this as if to further verify the question, rather than the other reasons.

After receiving her affirmative answer, Su Ping's eyes shone even brighter, and he laughed loudly, "Doesn't that mean that the immortal and I have walked together and talked a lot?"

"This kind of experience is definitely not something that other people in Liyue Harbor have. Haha, I am also someone who has seen an immortal!"

Ganyu was silent. The innocence of the child was reflected in her somewhat dull eyes. At the moment, he looked very lively, or rather, noisy?

In short, it was an uncharacteristic behavior. He was like a real child standing there. His eyes did not hide anything else. He was truly smiling and very happy.

Gan Yu once thought, maybe it was because he didn't understand the meaning, or maybe it was just the nature of children, so the gap was not that strong.

However, the moment this thought came to her mind, she rejected it, because this child could not be judged by common sense.

Judging from his past performance and actions, it was indeed unusual. As for why he now behaved like a child, Ganyu had no idea.

But after a quick glance and seeing the village and fields, Ganyu seemed to have found the reason, which should be the only explanation, that is, the children have returned home.

For many people, home is the only safe haven, a place where they can drop all disguises and reveal their true selves.

Su Ping's every move was a little reserved when he first arrived at Liyue Harbor, but he became more and more open after arriving here. It can be said that he was familiar with it, or it can be considered as relaxation after returning home.

In Ganyu's opinion, the other party should belong to the latter.

"Thank you..." Ganyu looked at the child's face and smiled softly.

Su Ping uttered an "eh", seemingly unable to find the words to answer, and laughed along.

"Thank you, thank you for letting me hear a different answer. It is very important to me." Ganyu said solemnly.

"Really? I'm glad I can help Sister Ganyu." Su Ping blinked and smiled blankly.

During this smile, Su Ping's sight gradually moved higher, landing on her head and the pair of horns.

The pair of horns were strangely shaped, winding backwards. The roots were black, and then changed again near the tips to a lighter red.

Su Ping had not observed it carefully before, but now he realized the specialness of this pair of corners. This pair of corners was like a finishing touch. Whoever had them on his head would stand out in the crowd.

But standing out in this way comes at the cost of being excluded and regarded as an outlier.

In comparison, compared to this pair of horns born from the blood of immortal beasts and therefore regarded as an alien existence, Ganyu should rather not have this pair of horns and this identity, right?

Su Ping was in deep thought and did not speak.

Ganyu noticed that the other party was looking at the horns on her head. The palms of her hands were slightly sweaty. She tightly clenched a piece of clothes, her eyes dodging and floating.

At this moment, Su Ping stretched out his hand, raised it, and then stretched it to his own face without any connection with Gan Yu's horn, and scratched it gently.

"Um, Sister Ganyu, aren't you tired squatting like this?"

The huge difference between the words before and after made Ganyu unable to react for a moment. She just stood up stupidly, then looked at the child who was shorter than her, shook her head and smiled.

After asking the question that had been weighing on her mind, Ganyu felt a lot more relaxed, especially the other party's words that didn't care at all that she was a fairy beast, which warmed her heart even more.

Ganyu only felt that her whole body seemed to have become much lighter, as if she was lying in soft clouds, light, comfortable and refreshed.

"Okay, I have to go to work next. Su Ping, you should go home too. Don't let your father and mother worry."

"I understand." Su Ping nodded.

"Good boy." Ganyu reached out and touched the child's head, but at the moment of touching it, she felt a little regretful about the subconscious action.

She wondered if she was being too abrupt, but seeing that the other person's expression didn't change, she didn't stop, but rubbed it gently again, then said goodbye to each other and turned to leave.

Su Ping looked at the back for a long time before he withdrew his gaze. His eyes were deep, as if he could not see the bottom.

Gan Yu left to busy herself with her work, and Su Ping also left to go home, but he still had the other person in his heart.

Because he felt that this answer alone was not enough, far from enough, compared to the fact that the other party saved his and his father's lives.
