Long days have passed here. I've been helping at the Wangshu Inn for about two weeks now, it feels nice here... calm. I know I have to leave though. The innkeeper acts like she wants me to stay but, I can tell I'm a burden. I tried to help as much as I could but, it doesn't make up for what they've done to me. I'll have to leave soon but, before I go- I'll make something special for everyone.
In my time here, I've tried my best and I learned how to cook nicely. Not enough for my cooking to be able to be served to customers but, I think it's pretty good. This inn only serves the best quality food, so that's why I'm not good enough. I hope so. Today I'm going to make everyone's favorite foods.
The Innkeeper, Verr Goldet, likes juyeun chili chicken. Her husband Huai'an likes noodles with mountain delicacies... I should make some almond tofu for xiao too.
I'm working on getting all the ingredients I need for my food, setting them all out...everything I need.
As I walk through the kitchen, I can feel a soft breeze from the window. The window is open. I go to close it when I see Xiao. It looks like he's leaving the inn right now, it's hard to see in the midnight moonlight but, I can tell it's him. He's looking up at the stars. I look too. The sky is as beautiful as it ever was, the glistening stars, the faint clouds in places. I could go on. I can't help but feel my eyes water. I'm crying? Why? I haven't cried since the day I almost died, in reality, that wasn't that long ago. Then I realized.
I'm lonely. So lonely... There's nobody who cares enough about me, nobody who cares about me enough that I feel welcome. I don't know where I belong.
I start making the almond tofu and I finish. This is my best dish. I go upstairs and leave it inside of Xiao's room. His room is so empty, it's sad. After I'm done. I can't be bothered to finish the rest, I can't be bothered so say goodbye. So I leave, without so much as a note. To me, I was saved, it felt like home... but to them, I was only an annoying freeloader. Truly, I don't know what I'm doing.
I take my sword and my backpack, all I have. I need to find somewhere else, where I truly belong. I'm going to Liyue harbor
A/N I'm sorry this chapter is very short, the next one will be longer :3
