- (Talk to Zhao)
- Zhao: Hey everyone! How's business today?
- Sweet Potato-Roasting Grandpa: Can't complain! The weather's getting cooler lately, and more people are buying roasted sweet potatoes!
- Zhao: Yeah, the temperature really drops when the sun goes down — business would definitely pick up if you set up shop during that time.
- Fruit-Selling Grandma: We've been getting lots of tourists visiting the Waifei Peninsula lately — fruit's been selling way faster than before!
- Zhao: Oh yeah? That's great news.
- Xiao'Zhao spots you but can't break away to say hi right away. After chatting with some folks on the street, she finally comes over with a slightly apologetic look.
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
Shared HardshipStory Description: You meet Zhao at the market, turns out she's friends with a lot of vendors. She insists it's all just about mutually beneficial transactions, but everyone actually seems to like her a lot.
- Zhao: Oops... sorry about that. I know a lot of people around here.
That's impressive.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's impressive! You know so many people, and you're on good terms with all of (them.them. /
them~them~) - Zhao: On good terms... Honestly, it's mostly surface-level.
- Zhao: But if you want to learn, I can show you how.
- Zhao: Truth is, a lot of valuable information only circulates at places like this... that's why I need to be on good terms with these folks.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's impressive! You know so many people, and you're on good terms with all of (them.them. /
- Everyone likes you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It seems everyone really likes you (here.here. /
here~here~) - Zhao: Actually, it's not like that...
- Zhao: It's only because I need to know these people.
- Zhao: You know how it is. A lot of valuable information only circulates at places like this.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): It seems everyone really likes you (here.here. /
- Zhao: I make regular purchases at these stalls. I don't haggle, and sometimes I don't even bother taking change.
- Zhao: If you want your face known to these vendors, being generous is a must.
- Zhao: And besides spending money, doing small favors when you can helps too. Time is a cost just like anything else.
- Zhao: For example, when the old lady who sells fruit was feeling unwell last week, I took her to the hospital.
- Zhao: And when the roasted sweet potato vendor's grandkid got lost, I went looking for him and found him in a back alley.
- Zhao: ...There's a lot more. Point is, I go out of my way to keep on good terms with them.
- Zhao: And in return, when something happens, the information they have becomes my best leverage.
- Zhao: I keep up these connections for that reason.
- Zhao: So... what do you think? Sounds kinda bad, huh?
- Sounds kinda weird...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Sounds kinda bad.Sounds kinda bad. /
Hmm... sounds a bit weird.Hmm... sounds a bit weird.) How do I put this... It's a little cold, maybe?[Note 1] - Zhao: I figured you'd say that.
- Zhao: And there's nothing wrong with you for thinking that. I'm the one with the problem here...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Sounds kinda bad.Sounds kinda bad. /
- That sounds kinda normal, I guess?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... how do I put this? That actually sounds kinda normal? Whatever your motive, you did help these people.
- Zhao: You... actually think that? I thought...
- Zhao: Ahem. Anyway, on the other hand, I suppose I'm a pretty valuable customer to these vendors.
- Zhao: That's why everyone is so nice to me...
- Zhao: Ahchoo!
- Zhao's loud sneeze draws everyone's attention...
- Zhao: S—Sorry. I think I've caught a bit of a cold...
- Fruit-Selling Grandma: A cold? That's not good. I'll fetch some medicine. Being sick is not fun!
- Zhao: Thank you, ma'am...
- Fruit-Selling Grandma: Oh, don't mention it. You've done so much for us before. Now you take care and get well soon, okay?
- Sweet Potato-Roasting Grandpa: I've got some sweet potatoes fresh out of the oven. Here, having something warm will make you feel better!
- Zhao: This is too much, grandpa... I can't eat it all...
- Sweet Potato-Roasting Grandpa: Nonsense! You've got a friend right here, don't you? You two can share it!
- Everyone crowds around to check on Zhao, stuffing her arms with food and remedies...
When she's got her arms full, they slowly return to their stalls... - Everyone really likes you.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Everyone really likes you, and they care about you. They already treat you like a friend, not just because you're a valuable customer, but because you're you.
- Zhao: ...I—Is that so? I always thought...
- Zhao: But this kind of genuine care... feels like something only true friends would give... right?
- Zhao nervously grips the hem of her dress.
After a long moment of hesitation, she finally gathers the courage and looks up. - Zhao: Th—Then... what about you?
- I like you too of course!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I really like you too of (course.course. /
course!course!) Aren't we friends already? - Zhao: Yeah... that's right! Exactly!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I really like you too of (course.course. /
- I'm the same as everyone here.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm the same as everyone here. We all like (you.you. /
you!you!) - Zhao: T—Thanks...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm the same as everyone here. We all like (you.you. /
- Zhao: Then... let's finish all this stuff together!
- Zhao: ...Well, except for the cold medicine!
- Zhao: But if you want to stick with me through the rough stuff and choke down the bitter cold medicine with me, I'm not gonna stop you~
- Zhao: Come to think of it, it's been a while since I shared tasty food with friends...
- Zhao: I'm glad I ran into you today!
