November 30, 1993 of the Teyvat Calendar, Bubu Pharmacy, Liyue Harbor “Hmm—from the pulse and physical signs, it really doesn’t look like consumption.” Baizhu, Liyue’s premier divine doctor, gave his own diagnosis, “Let’s have him stay in the hospital for observation first.

For now, let’s proceed with a diagnostic treatment along the lines of cold air allergy, as Miss Kuaixue suggested.

The family members don’t have any objections, right?” “No, none at all.” Hearing that a famous doctor from Liyue had come to consult his opinion, how could Xiaofeng dare to have any differing views?Full novel: Genshin Impact: I Became Keqing’s Twin Sister — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

“Phew~ I didn’t expect that child Kuaixue to know you, Dr.

Baizhu.” Seeing that Baizhu also leaned toward Kuaixue’s view, Yunyan knew that the matter was ninety-eight percent secure.

After relaxing, Yunyan became very interested in the fact that the doctor before her knew Kuaixue.

“Hehe, just an ill-fated connection.” “Miss Kuaixue, well—she is a strange and sensitive child.” Baizhu did not wish to reveal that experience of getting acquainted with Kuaixue.

“Kuaixue is indeed very strange; she makes people both uneasy and entirely at ease.” “Hehe, don’t look at how she says things like ‘what a hassle’ with her mouth, but in reality she’s just a total tsundere with a cold exterior and a warm heart.” As a businesswoman, Yunyan naturally observed facial expressions and read the mood, quietly turning past the previous topic and shifting the focus onto Kuaixue.

Hearing Baizhu’s evaluation of Kuaixue, for fear that Baizhu might misunderstand Kuaixue, she quietly spoke well of Kuaixue.

“Miss Yunyan, what you say is very true.” “That’s right, I didn’t expect that stinky-faced big sister to be so amazing.” Through this incident, Kuaixue had established a certain prestige in the hearts of the children.

Like this, Yunyan and Baizhu chatted about Kuaixue for a while, and both sides had a friendly exchange regarding interesting anecdotes about Kuaixue’s childhood that each knew, achieving constructive results.

Both parties were very satisfied with this conversation, and only the world where Kuaixue was hurt was completed.

(Kuaixue: Achoo!) December 7, 1993 of the Teyvat Calendar, inside Wanmin Restaurant at Chihu Rock “That’s how it is; Kuaixue’s conjecture was not wrong.

Xiaomei indeed does not have consumption, but rather asthma caused by a cold air allergy.

Recovery will still take some time.” Liyue people’s serious matters are always discussed at the dinner table.

“A fortune in the midst of misfortune.” Ningguang was also happy for the two children, Xiaofeng and Xiaomei.

“…” Kuaixue chose not to comment; devouring food was the real priority.

“Sigh, Kuaixue is really something, nobody is fighting you for it.” After everything settled down, no matter how Yunyan looked at Kuaixue now, she found her pleasing to the eye.

After the meal “Speak, how do you plan to deal with that profiteer?” After a moment of silence, Ningguang took the initiative to speak.

“?

What are you talking about, Ningguang?” Yunyan wanted to play dumb.

“How could I not know what you’ve been doing sneakily behind the scenes with that group of children these past few days?” Those who know Yunyan best are Ningguang.

“Hehe, as expected I couldn’t keep it from you.” Caught in the act of secretly doing bad things, Yunyan felt a little bit awkward.

“Actually, these past few days that group of children…” As it turned out, after settling Xiaomei down, everyone was filled with righteous indignation toward the profiteer who had deceived Xiaofeng, and successively expressed that they wanted to teach him a lesson.

However, when that profiteer concluded the contract with Xiaofeng earlier, the content of the contract was medicinal herbs that could treat coughs rather than medicinal herbs that could treat consumption, and that profiteer had exploited a loophole.

Moreover, Marcotte’s function in treating coughs was ambiguous; running over to argue now would gain no advantage at all.

But to make everyone swallow this breath was truly impossible.

Yunyan thought about it and decided to secretly investigate, find evidence, and then report to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After all, judging from that profiteer’s skilled swindling techniques, it was really unlikely that he had only deceived Xiaofeng.

In the future, when that profiteer swindled people again, he could be caught red-handed.

Yunyan originally wanted to secretly find a way to investigate herself, but unfortunately all the children hoped that they could do their part for their little companion.

Anyway, he was just an illegal merchant, and her own business was currently flourishing and bustling with activity; she truly lacked the manpower and energy to investigate a profiteer.

It was better to leave it to the children—this was a rare growth opportunity, and she believed they would not disappoint her.

Thus, Yunyan chose to hand over the investigative work to the little “investigators”.

A week passed, but the investigation results were very strange: the pharmacy usually had very few customers, yet it brought in a lot of goods every day, and during this period no one was tricked or scammed.

Yunyan was somewhat uncertain about this unexpected result, and originally wanted to secretly go to the pharmacy in person to investigate, pulling off a “how can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair”.

She hadn’t expected Ningguang to guess it anyway.

After listening to Yunyan’s thoughts and the current situation, Ningguang thought for a moment and took the initiative to speak: “Let’s go, let’s go meet that profiteer.” “Let’s go, let’s go.

If we delay too much, we won’t finish things.” Kuaixue only wanted to go early and return early; with a bit of luck, she could even return before the sun set.

“?!

You guys…” Yunyan felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with Ningguang, Kuaixue, or even herself.

She had originally planned to go and resolve it by herself, but she hadn’t expected her two close friends, especially that lazy Kuaixue, to actively offer help.

Yunyan expressed that she was deeply moved.

“It’s all written on your face.” Kuaixue took the lead in heading out.

The two hurriedly followed.

After winding and turning, the three arrived at today’s destination—the herbal medicine shop two doors down from Wanyou Boutique.

“Boss, hurry up and welcome your guests.” Facing the profiteer, Kuaixue couldn’t even be bothered to think about her choice of words; the more direct, the better.

“Coming, coming!

What would the three distinguished guests like to buy?” A middle-aged man with a long beard trotted out of the shop with a smiling face.

Seeing the boss come out, Yunyan took over the right to speak.

“Hello, Boss.

I heard from people that you sell miraculous foreign medicine for treating consumption.

Is that true?

I’d like to buy some, price is not an issue.” At this moment, Yunyan acted like the family member of a long-term patient, nervously pulling the boss’s hand and eagerly waiting for the boss’s reply.

This acting left Kuaixue, standing to the side, completely dumbfounded, thinking: “Are all people surnamed Yun this good at acting?” (Beidou:?) As soon as the boss heard the words “consumption” and “foreign”, a flash of vigilance crossed his eyes.

When he heard “price is not an issue”, he was tempted again.

For a moment he couldn’t make up his mind, hesitating and not knowing how to reply.

“Boss, please just help my younger sister.

I’m begging you.” As soon as Yunyan saw the merchant taking the bait, she quickly increased her efforts, pulling on the merchant’s clothes without letting go, looking as if she were prepared to kneel on the ground and beg him.

“Hey hey hey, big sister, don’t be anxious…

Sigh.” The boss was still noncommittal regarding the issue of the foreign miraculous medicine.

“Are you putting on an acting performance here too?” Kuaixue speechlessly watched the two born actors showing off their moves to each other.

“Boss, if there’s any problem, just say it directly.

I will definitely help you solve it, as long as you can save my younger sister.” At this moment, Yunyan had even more of the momentum of “climbing a mountain of swords and plunging into a sea of fire”; anyone who didn’t know better would think she really had a younger sister.

“Is this your younger sister?” The boss didn’t answer the question directly, pointing at Kuaixue.

“No, this is a friend of my younger sister.

Knowing that I was coming to buy medicinal herbs, she tagged along.” Yunyan naturally wouldn’t admit it; judging by Kuaixue’s full-throated shout from earlier, if she really admitted it, the act would have been performed in vain.

“Yeah, Boss, I also beg you to save Xiaoqing.

She is really so pitiful, coughing nonstop in class; several times that sound made me afraid she’d cough until she passed out.” As Kuaixue spoke, tears even flowed down.

Ningguang: 6.

“Then who is this?” Seeing Kuaixue, who was young, looking like this, the boss couldn’t help but relax his vigilance, but still uneasy, he pointed at Ningguang who was trying to turn into air.

“She…

she is…” “I’m just someone showing the way.

Since we’ve already arrived, I will take my leave.

I wish this young lady’s younger sister a speedy recovery.” Seeing that the boss was so cautious, Ningguang figured he must have been committing evil for a long time.

After thinking about it, he chose to temporarily leave the scene.

Having finished speaking, Ningguang waved his hand and turned to leave, without the slightest hesitation.

“A passerby?” “Boss, I have prepared 200,000 Mora; please, Boss, bestow the medicine.” Seeing that the boss still wouldn’t relent, Yunyan grew anxious inside, putting on an expression of feigned heartache and bleeding wallet on her face as she stated her “budget”.

“Sigh, follow me.” The fish had finally taken the bait.

It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?

“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
