Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua
Chapter 216 Zhongli can cook too?
As soon as Gui Zhong entered the store, he looked around excitedly, his eyes sparkling: "Wow, this is so beautiful! It's worthy of being your masterpiece."
Xianyun and Aping greeted him with a smile: "Guizhong, we thought you wouldn't come. You really have forgotten your sisters when you have a lover."
Gui Zhong smiled and joked, "So what? You single guys can't understand the troubles of having a partner."
Xianyun and Aping exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Wow, it's only been a few days, and you're already disliking us?"
Gui Zhong stepped forward and wanted to hold their arms, but Xianyun and Aping tacitly avoided Gui Zhong at the same time.
Xianyun said with a look of disdain, "The arms of those with partners are just different. We single guys don't dare to hold onto them casually, lest we get the sour smell of love. By then, I'm afraid we might even dislike ourselves.
Ah Ping also curled her lips and said, "Humph, that's right, that's right. Just now you were showing off your troubles with having a partner, and now you know to try to please us. It's too late."
Gui Zhong started to act coquettishly, shaking the corners of their clothes: "Oh, my good sisters, I was just joking, you took it seriously. How could I value love over friendship? You are unique and irreplaceable in my heart. I was wrong, isn't it okay? Please forgive me this time."
Xianyun and Aping looked at each other again, and the expressions on their faces eased a little. "I really can't do anything about you. I'll forgive you this time."
Gui Zhong immediately smiled happily and took their arms again: "Oh, I knew you were the best and you definitely wouldn't bother with me. I promise that I will pay attention in the future and won't dare to make jokes that make you unhappy again."
Xianyun smiled and tapped Guizhong's forehead. "You, from now on, you have to strike a good balance between the Emperor and us sisters. Although we know you have us in your heart, you also have to take concrete actions."
Gui Zhong nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I have thought about it. If there is anything fun in the future, I will share it with you as soon as possible, and I will save the delicious food for you. Oh, by the way, next time Zhongli makes something delicious, I will bring it to you to try. His cooking skills are quite good."
Ah Ping's eyes lit up. "Oh? The Emperor can cook? This is really surprising. I thought he just wandered around all day, but I didn't expect he even delved into cooking."
Gui Zhong said proudly, "Of course I did. I didn't expect it at first. When we came back from our trip a few days ago, I accidentally said, 'The almond tofu at Wangshu Inn is delicious.' As a result, Zhongli personally cooked a portion for me the next day. Although the taste is not as good as that of the inn's chef, it is also very delicious, isn't it, Zhongli?" Gui Zhong turned his head to look at Zhongli behind him.
Zhongli smiled gently, "It's just a small dish. You can master it with a little practice. Besides, I like it."
Xianyun and Aping pinched their noses and said in disgust, "Oh, the whole room is filled with the sour smell of love."
Gui Zhong smiled and said, "Alright, stop pretending. I wonder how many young couples from Liyue Harbor your event has attracted? During the day, it was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in. The room is already filled with the atmosphere of love."
Xianyun waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. Today's customer flow is more than the previous week combined. It's really exhausting, but seeing how much fun everyone is having is worth it."
Linghua took Guizhong's hand and said, "Sister Guizhong, come quickly. Master specifically told us to reserve a good spot for you on the Yue Lao Wall. We are waiting for you and Zhongli."
Gui Zhong's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Really? That's great, Xianyun is quite thoughtful." He then followed Ling Hua towards Yue Lao Wall, not forgetting to turn around and call out to Zhong Li, "Zhong Li, follow me quickly."
Zhongli bowed slightly, replied "OK", and followed Gui Zhongsheng steadily.
A few people came to the Yue Lao Wall, only to see that the wall was covered with colorful notes, each of which was filled with sweet words and good wishes from lovers.
Gui Zhong looked at the wall full of thoughts, his face filled with joy. He picked up a piece of colored paper and handed it to Zhong Li, saying, "Zhong Li, let's write together. Tell me what we should write. I feel like there are so many things I want to say, but this paper is too small. I don't know which sentence is the most important to write on."
Zhongli took the colored paper, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "That's fine. Just write whatever feels right. Even if it's just a few simple words, it can still carry our hopes."
After saying that, the two of them picked up the pens prepared beside them, lowered their heads slightly, and began to write with a focused look.
The rest of the people tactfully stepped back a few steps, leaving space for Gui Zhong and Zhong Li to write quietly.
Back at the front desk, Keqing and Ganyu arrived at Bailu Shuanghua breathlessly. Keqing said while panting, "You guys are still open, right? I guess I didn't miss it."
Ganyu gently stroked her chest. "Keqing, why do you want to come here so much? You usually don't have much interest in these activities, so why are you so...?"
Xinyang handed over two glasses of water. "Senior Sister, Keqing, drink some water first. Don't be anxious. We're not closing yet."
After taking the cup, Keqing tilted her head back and gulped down the water. Then, she took a deep breath and said, "You don't know, but today, when I went to Stratum Chasm on behalf of the General Affairs Department to distribute subsidies, many people rushed up to me and offered me milk tea. They kept saying thank yous, saying things like, 'It's thanks to me that they were able to receive this subsidy,' or praising me for my hard work and my kindness to the people."
"There were even some brave enough to openly express their affection for me, inviting me to visit Bailu Shuanghua with them! Oh, I was so embarrassed and could only politely decline. But they were so enthusiastic that no matter how much I tried to refuse, they just wouldn't give up. It made me dizzy. I just finished work and thought I'd come over to see them and chat with some friends."
Upon hearing this, Ganyu's eyes widened as she asked in surprise, "Wow, you're so popular now? It seems everyone really appreciates your work. It's just... this enthusiasm is a little overwhelming."
At this time, Gui Zhong and Zhong Li also came to the front desk and interrupted, "Has Keqing become so popular all of a sudden? We just returned to Liyue Harbor a few days ago and don't know much about what's going on outside."
Ganyu explained, "The General Affairs Department previously suggested providing some subsidies to the miners in the Chasm. It was just a suggestion, but Keqing took the initiative and personally went to the Chasm to experience the miners' lives for nearly two months, gaining a firsthand understanding of their hardships and needs. She also resolved the Chayevich issue."
Ganyu continued to explain, "Later, somehow, this incident was reported and spread throughout Liyue Harbor. Everyone knew about Keqing's deeds and admired her immensely, and their work became increasingly recognized. Plus, the publicity for Egret Frost's event had reached the very bottom of the Abyss. So, when Keqing went to distribute the subsidies, everyone wanted to express their gratitude and love for her. The enthusiasm was overwhelming, though the method might have been a little inappropriate."
Shui Li smiled and said, "Sister Keqing has done so much for everyone. No wonder she's so popular. Wait a minute, Sister Keqing. I'll make you a cup of milk tea to try my new flavor."
Upon hearing this, Keqing quickly stopped Shuili and said, "Please don't do that. I've already drunk a lot of milk tea in the Chasm today, and now I'm a little scared of milk tea. Thank you for your kindness."
Ganyu walked over to Shuili and said, "Let Keqing try your new flavor next time. She's been bombarded with milk tea to death today."
Shuili scratched her head awkwardly. "It seems so. Then Sister Keqing must try it next time."
Keqing smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, Shuili, I'll definitely try it next time I get a chance, but I really can't drink it today. Speaking of which, today's incident really surprised me. I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic towards me. Although it was quite embarrassing and overwhelming at the time, now that I think about it, I'm still very happy that everyone recognizes my work."
