A soft golden light fell on Dvalin's massive body, making it feel exceptionally warm.
It couldn't help but let out a comfortable cry.
At the same time, the wounds, large and small, on its body were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and eventually disappeared completely.
It is a healthy dragon again.
"How do you feel now?"
Xia Zhi asked.
Dvalin nuzzled him with his head.
It seems everything is alright now.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Barbatos is really something, he doesn't know how to take care of you at all. Luckily you met me, otherwise you would have been miserable for a long time..."
Dvalin let out a low growl.
After listening, Xia Zhi said, "Want me to play the piano for you again? I'll play for you later. By the way, are you hungry?"
"A little hungry?"
What do you usually eat?
"Go catch it yourself? Wild boar or something? Just eat it raw?"
"Raw food doesn't taste good, does it? You said the taste was alright?"
"What a poor little fellow. It seems you've never truly enjoyed life. Barbatos, all he does is drink by himself, never bothering to prepare anything good for you... Well, I'll make you something nice first. With your size, I'll get you some roasted meat... Go catch a few wild boars..."
Dvarin obediently flew away.
Xia Zhi stood still and waited quietly.
He doesn't necessarily need Dvalin to catch fresh ingredients; he can also buy raw meat from various giant beasts in the [Shop] with points, which would have a better texture and taste, but that doesn't align with his purpose.
A few days ago, Xia Zhi picked out quite a few psychology books when she was choosing books at the Xifeng Library.
Through the “Scholar’s Guide”, he directly absorbed this psychological knowledge and gained some insights into how to conduct psychological counseling.
Just like he once helped Shen He, he wanted to help Tvalin get rid of his unhappiness and grievances in the fastest way possible, which was to accompany Tvalin to create some new and better memories.
Xia Zhi can prepare the food by himself, but it's not as effective as having Dvalin participate. Although Dvalin can't grill meat, the fact that it grabs the ingredients gives it a sense of helping out, making the food taste even better and creating a more cherished memory.
After a while, Tvalin returned with several wild boars.
Xia Zhi praised it at the opportune moment.
It seemed very happy.
Then, Xia Zhi began to prepare the ingredients, talking to it as she did so.
Tvalin stood by, watching curiously and listening with great interest.
Once the fire was lit, the aroma of food began to fill the air.
Tvalin couldn't help but smack his lips.
Xia Zhi comforted it, "You can't eat it yet, you have to wait a while."
Tvalin tried his best to be patient.
Finally, when it was time to eat, Xia Zhi fed it the food.
Then, Tvalin cried again.
Last time I cried because it was so beautiful; this time I cried because it tastes so good.

The sun was already setting in the west, and a gentle breeze rustled through the trees.
Xia Zhi sat on a rock nearby, holding a small piece of golden-brown roasted meat in his hand, and ate with Tvalin.
"Don't cry, you're a wind dragon, not a water dragon, why do you cry so much?"
"Is it good? Yes, it's delicious. I'm glad you like it."
"Eat slowly. There's not enough time today, so I can only bake this for you. I'll make you something better next time."
"Haha, I meant next time, not tomorrow. I'm quite busy tomorrow; I have to accompany everyone to another competition, so I probably won't have time to come out."
"..."
Xia Zhi ate slowly. By the time he finished the small piece of roasted meat in his hand, Tvalin had already finished all the roasted meat and was smacking his lips, savoring the taste.
It probably didn't eat enough.
However, Xia Zhi hadn't originally planned to let it eat its fill today.
After all, memories that are incomplete are the most memorable and make people look forward to the next one even more.
Xia Zhi casually summoned a stream of clear water, washed his hands clean, took out the [Dragon-Guiding Zither], and said, "Now that you've finished eating, it's time to play the zither for you, as promised."
Dvarin lay prone on the ground, watching him quietly.
Xia Zhi placed the guqin on his lap and began to play a piece.
This time he chose a more upbeat melody, which is more suitable for relaxing.
Dvarin listened intently.
After finishing the piece, Xia Zhi put away his guqin and said, "Alright, it's about time, I should go back now."
A hint of reluctance flickered in Tvalin's eyes, but he didn't make a scene.
It stood up from the ground, walked over a bit, folded its wings, and brought its head close to Xia Zhi's face.
Xia Zhi reached out and touched its face, laughing, "What? Is it saying goodbye to me?"
Dvalin called out softly.
Xia Zhi was slightly taken aback: "You mean, you're going to take me back?"
Tvalin gently nuzzled him.
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Alright, thank you then."
Tvalin bent down.
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "No need for that trouble."
With a light leap, he landed on Tvalin's back.
Dvarin turned around and called out to him again.
Xia Zhi sat down on its back, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know how to be careful, I won't fall off."
Dvarin then flapped his wings and flew into the sky.
Xia Zhi could feel the strong wind sweeping past his sides, but it didn't touch him at all.
This was because Tvarin deliberately raised his head during the flight to shield himself from the oncoming wind.
It's quite caring; it's a thoughtful child.
For others, flying might be a novel experience, but for Xia Zhi, with his [Radiant Wings], he had already experienced this feeling of freedom in the dream world.
Not to mention that the most interesting part of flying is being able to look down at the scenery on the ground from high above, but Xia Zhi's eyes cannot see in the real world, so he loses this greatest pleasure.
Xia Zhi was simply curious about the fact that he could ride on the back of a dragon.
After experiencing it firsthand, he felt that being a dragon knight was indeed more interesting than riding his cousin's hovercar.
Dvalin flew very fast, and in just over ten seconds, he was back over Mondstadt.
Xia Zhi patted its back and said, "You don't need to fly down. I'll jump down myself. Goodbye."
To avoid trouble, Xia Zhi immediately activated [Stealth Mode] and silently jumped off Dvalin's back.
Once on the ground, Xia Zhi found a quiet corner, revealed himself, and went to a bustling restaurant as agreed with everyone. He followed the waiter's directions and entered a private room.
The girls are chatting inside.
"Have you all been waiting for a long time?"
"No! We just came here after shopping! Boss, are you done with your work?"
"Yes, it's a small matter, I've already taken care of it."
"Let's order!"
As soon as Xia Zhi sat down in the empty seat, Xia Lin, who was sitting next to him, immediately came over and hugged his arm tightly, just like she had done at the competition.
The little girl still seemed insecure and liked to cling to him.
Xia Zhi helplessly rubbed her head with his other hand.
The little girl squinted her eyes with obvious pleasure and pressed her face against his arm.
Xia Zhi let her do as she pleased.
Then, the little girl seemed to suddenly realize something.
She looked away, a little puzzled, and gently sniffed Xia Zhi's clothes.
