Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

"Uncle Mao!" Su Xun looked at the busy middle-aged man and called out with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaoxun is back. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Master Mao of Wanmintang turned around and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He put down the spoon in his hand and walked straight towards Su Xun. While wiping his hands with the towel on his shoulders, he said enthusiastically:

"How come you ran away again not long after coming back last time? I don't know how many times Xiangling has talked about you to me during this period, haha~"

"I had some free time before, so I went on a trip to Mondstadt and learned some new knowledge." Su Xun smiled and explained.

"Well, that's really your character..." Master Mao was stunned, then shook his head and laughed.

"By the way, where is Xiangling?" Su Xun looked around before realizing that Xiangling was not there.

"I asked her to go out and replenish the ingredients." Master Mao replied.

"Who are these two?" He noticed the two people standing behind Su Xun, one was a little girl with blonde hair and strange clothes, and the other was a little girl who could actually fly.

"They are the friends I made in Mond..." Su Xun introduced them to each other.

Because Master Mao is very enthusiastic towards everyone, not to mention Su Xun's friends, everyone quickly became familiar with each other amid laughter and joy.

However, just as they were chatting excitedly, Paimon's stomach suddenly growled. She quickly covered her stomach with her hands in embarrassment, and a blush appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Master Mao didn't want to continue chatting. He warmly invited several people into the store and arranged a table for them.

Then he turned to the kitchen and started preparing dinner for everyone.

Su Xun signaled Yingmei and Paimeng to sit down and rest first, and then he followed Master Mao to the kitchen. He planned to help cook so that the dishes could be served on the table faster.

Yingmei and Paimeng looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Although they don’t know yet how good Chef Mao’s cooking skills are, with Su Xun’s help, they will definitely be able to enjoy the ultimate delicious food later!

In the kitchen, seeing Su Xun walking in, Chef Mao did not chase him out. After all, he was well aware of Su Xun's cooking skills and would not do anything to make things worse.

However, while cooking, Master Mao glanced at the two people outside inconspicuously, and then quietly asked Su Xun.

"Xiao Xun, is the blond girl among these two really just your friend?"

"Well, of course, what else?" Su Xun was stunned, then a little confused.

"Oh, that's fine. I thought you were with the girl from before..." Master Mao didn't say the rest of the words, but Su Xun understood what he meant.

Uncle Mao, do you think Shen He and I have broken up? Well, although we are not officially together yet.

Thinking of this, Su Xun felt a little amused.

Does he really look like a scumbag who gets bored easily?

Su Xun shook his head helplessly and did not explain too much to Master Mao. Matters like feelings must be proven by actions.

"Come to think of it, that girl has been coming to our Wanmin Hall for dinner quite often these days. As a result, she has become familiar with Xiangling." Master Mao mentioned this to Su Xun as the topic started.

"Really? That's great. Shen He has been staying in the mountains before, and now she has come to Liyue Harbor. I was really worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to life here." Speaking of Shen He, Su Xun couldn't help but look tender in his eyes.

"You kid also said, who would abandon their loved one and go traveling alone and not come back for even a month?" At this point, Master Mao couldn't help but feel angry for Shen He and scolded Su Xun.

"I..." Su Xun was speechless and looked irritated.

He was indeed wrong in doing this. At that time, he was just thinking that since Shen He had found a job, he would have no worries and could go to Mondstadt to study alchemy to improve his strength.

However, he did not consider that it was he who brought Shen He down the mountain, and Shen He chose to go down the mountain for him, so his behavior of just dropping the ball and running away was very irresponsible.

I had said before that I would take Shen He to Mondstadt to play in a while, but I didn't expect that he would become so reluctant to leave once he got there.

Although there are reasons why he is obsessed with alchemy, this is not an excuse. If he did something wrong, it was wrong, and he would not deny it.

If Master Mao hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have continued to take this matter for granted.

Thinking of this, the guilt in Su Xun's heart continued to grow like a germinating seed, making him feel uncomfortable.

An uncontrollable urge emerged in my mind to find Shen He right now, hug her tightly and tell her my true feelings.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xun suppressed the impulse.

Don't be impatient. Now that you're back in Liyue, you'll be able to see Shen He soon. For now, just deal with the current situation.

Su Xun and Master Mao are both great chefs. They not only cook quickly, but also make their dishes look, smell and taste good.

When the two finished their work, less than a quarter of an hour had passed.

After the dishes were served, Su Xun wanted Chef Mao to sit down and eat with him, but he said that he still had to entertain the guests and the other chefs in the restaurant were already too busy, so he didn't want to disturb them.

Su Xun didn't force it too much.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Ying and Paimeng's eyes lit up. These dishes were not only bright in color, but also fragrant, making people salivate.

"Okay, don't be polite, everyone come and try it." Su Xun said with a smile.

"Hehe, okay!" Paimeng was waiting for Su Xun to say this.

So the three of them began to taste these delicious dishes. Every dish on the table was very delicately cooked and the taste was incomparable.

Yingmei and Paimeng ate with gusto and kept praising Master Mao and Su Xun's cooking skills.

I have to say that their cooking skills are indeed better than Yan Xiao's.

But just as they were enjoying the food, an ethereal voice suddenly rang out.

"Master Mao."

Su Xun's body stiffened involuntarily.

"Dad, I'm back. Hehe, I just happened to meet Senior Sister Shen He, and she helped me bring these things back."

Two girls walked into the entrance of Wanmin Hall. Both of them were acquaintances of Su Xun. One was Shen He, who had a plain face and beautiful appearance, and the other was Xiangling, who was lively and lovely. There was Guoba, who looked adorable, at Xiangling's feet.

"Haha, I'm glad you're back. Girl, have you thanked Miss Shen He?"

"Oh, Dad, we have such a good relationship, why do you have to be so polite?" Xiangling rolled her eyes at her father.

"You are the only one who is right, kid." Master Mao shook his head helplessly, then looked at Shen He, ready to tell her the news that Su Xun had returned.

"By the way, Miss Shen He, Su..."

But before Master Mao could finish his words, he saw Shen He walking straight inside.

She has already seen Su Xun.
