Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 214 Autumn River on Guard

After hearing this, Lily let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, like a deflated balloon:

"As we were sitting on the lawn, Qin Yuming said he had a surprise for me, and told me to close my eyes and wait a moment. Then he made me a flower wreath."

"That's what's on my head." Clay was even more confused upon hearing this. "Isn't it perfectly fine? Doesn't Lily like roses?"

Lily sighed again after hearing this. "Of course I liked it. I was very happy at the time, but just as I was sitting with him on the lawn, enjoying the breeze..."

Suddenly, for some reason, he stood up abruptly and ran away without saying a word. I initially thought he had lost something and was going back to look for it.

"I sat there waiting for a very, very, very long time, and he didn't come back, so I came back." Clement and Peruvier looked at each other again upon hearing this.

Not knowing what to say, they heard footsteps at the door again. All three looked towards the door, and the footsteps grew closer.

Qiuhe appeared at the doorway, but he also looked distracted, an expression strikingly similar to Lily's earlier demeanor.

Just as Qiuhe entered the room, Kreewei darted out and grabbed Qiuhe, her legs clamping tightly around him.

She then shook Qiuhe all over, "Ah~. Leyi, you big dummy, how come you're so slow chasing a dog? You're only coming back now."

Qiuhe was also filled with questions when he heard Clayweis suddenly blurt out this sentence. "Huh? Chase... chase the dog?" Qiuhe had been worried just now.

Clay's sudden remark nearly made Qiuhe's head spin. Qiuhe didn't think too much about it, and carried Clay to the bed.

She then brought out a whole bag of delicious food and small cakes, and Clay, who had been starving for a long time, devoured them with gusto.

"Eat slowly, I bought a lot of food, enough for everyone. Clay, don't rush, you'll choke." Qiuhe quickly took out a bottle of Fonda and handed it to Clay.

Seeing Clementine enjoying her meal so much, Akikawa was a little puzzled. "Didn't you guys eat lunch?" Peruvier, after taking a bite of bread, asked.

"You said you'd bring back something delicious. Kree didn't even eat lunch." Akikawa smiled apologetically after hearing this.

"Sorry, Clay, for keeping you waiting so long." Hearing this, Clay took a puff of her fizz and then pouted, pinching Qiuhe's cheeks with both hands.

"Hmph, you still have to say that. Qiuhe, didn't you say you were going to deliver a letter? Why did it take you so long? I thought some bad dog had stolen your letter."

Qiuhe was quite impressed by Clementine's imagination upon hearing this. "No, no. I... on my way to Fontainebleau, I saw some children being attacked by Hilichurls."

They were all out with their parents, so it took me a while to deal with the Hilichurls and help the kids find their families. Sorry, Clayville.

Upon hearing this reason, Kree released his grip on Qiuhe's cheek. "Alright, so Leyi wasted her time trying to help someone else."

"Then, I forgive Qiuhe." After saying this, Clay gave Qiuhe a light kiss on the cheek, leaving some cream from her lips on Qiuhe's face.

Seeing this, Qiuhe smiled gently, and then he saw Lily lying to the side like a salted fish.

"Lily, I bought lots of delicious food, don't you want some?" Lily responded with a listless hum. Qiuhe looked puzzled.

Seeing this, Clay helped Lily up from the bed and fed her the cake, then gently lifted her chin to take a bite.

After smacking her lips twice, Lily swallowed the cake. Seeing this, Qiuhe broke out in a sweat. "Uh. So what's wrong with Lily?"

While eating cake, Kreeway mumbled as she explained to Qiuhe, "Didn't they say this morning that Lily went to spend some alone time with Qin Yuming?"

But after Qin Yuming finished making another flower wreath for Lily, he seemed to have lost something and disappeared looking for it. Lily waited outside for a long time.

In the end, he didn't wait for Qin Yuming and returned alone. He'd only been back a short while, just seconds before Le Yi came back. Qiu He understood the gist of it after hearing this.

"I see," Qiuhe muttered to himself, but then, in a flash, it was as if he had just realized something. "Ever since you came to this place called the House of Hearths..."

Things that shouldn't have happened kept happening one after another. How could others not suspect you, even though all the evidence pointed to you?

But at the same time, everything points to the fact that you are definitely one of the instigators of these things.” This is a sentence that Dulin said in the consciousness space before Qiuhe.

"Lily." Qiuhe suddenly called out to Lily, who was standing beside him. "How long exactly has Qin Yuming been gone?" Lily was still sitting dejectedly on the bed.

Leaning against Clementine's chest, she said listlessly, "I don't know. It seems like it happened about two hours ago." Qiuhe heard this...

She slowly stood up by the bedside and said in a very serious tone, "When he left, do you remember which direction he went?"

After listening, Lily thought for a moment, "I don't know. It seems like... Fontaine. I don't remember." Qiuhe then walked out of the room.

"Lei, where are you going?" Kree asked curiously as Qiuhe walked away, and Qiuhe stopped in her tracks.

"I have some things to take care of and need to go out for a bit. Also," Qiuhe said, turning to the three of them with a very serious expression.

"The three of you. None of you are allowed to leave the house until I get back." Seeing Qiuhe's expression, the three were somewhat puzzled, but Qiuhe didn't explain further.

After leaving those words, he turned to leave, but just as he turned back, Qin Yuming appeared in the direction of the doorway and slowly walked past it.

Upon seeing Qin Yuming appear, time seemed to slow down. Qiuhe also caught Qin Yuming's expression—an expression of barely suppressed anger.

"Qin Yuming!!!" Just as Qiuhe was stunned, Lily's loud scream rang out, startling the three people inside the house and Qi Yuming, who had just passed by Qiuhe's door, causing them to tremble.

Qin Yuming suddenly looked into the room, and then Lily darted out of the room and jumped directly onto Qin Yuming.

Just like before when Clay hugged Qiuhe tightly, Lily, who was hugging Qin Yuming, was also shaking him frantically, "Ah~. Qin Yuming, you big idiot!"

"Where did you go and leave me all alone? You're only coming back now, you idiot, you idiot, you idiot, you idiot!!" Qin Yuming, startled by Lily's shout,...

At this moment, he was frantically suppressing the anger on his face, his hands clenched tightly. Finally, Qin Yuming let out a long, soft sigh of relief.

He forced a gentle smile. "I'm sorry, Lily, I..." Before Qin Yuming could finish his sentence...

Qiuhe had already grabbed Lily by the back of her collar, pulled her off Qin Yuming, and carried her behind him like a chick.

Lily was also confused by this sudden turn of events. "Le Yi, what are you doing?" "Lily, go back to bed and sit down. I have something I want to talk to Qin Yuming about."

Before Lily could even ask her question, Qiuhe interrupted her. And then, suddenly telling her to go back to bed, Lily was completely bewildered and had no idea what was wrong with Qiuhe.

Seeing that Lily was still standing behind him without moving, Akikawa said, "Peruveli, take Lily back to the bed and sit down." Hearing the change in Akikawa's tone...

And his aura had changed, so Peruvieri understood that something was about to happen. She went to Akikawa's side, grabbed Lily's wrist, and pulled him back to the bed.

To prevent any accidents, Peruvieri's other hand was also busy, tightly gripping Clementine's wrist on the bed. Clementine and Lily both looked puzzled at this.

Qin Yuming, standing at the door, watched Lily being dragged away, then his gaze returned to Qiuhe's face, meeting her eyes with a friendly smile.

"Ha. Brother Leyi. What does this mean? The way you look... it's like you're facing a formidable enemy." Seeing Qin Yuming's smile...

Qiuhe stared at Qin Yuming with an icy expression and hawk-like eyes. "Qin Yuming," Qin Yuming responded with a smile when Qiuhe called him.

"Hmm. What's wrong?" "I wanted to ask, I heard you left Lily alone outside, and then... I don't know if you went to find something or what."

But now that you're here, I want to ask, where were you when you left Lily outside all alone?"
