I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 399

Although her hair, which she had painstakingly combed, was now a mess again, she wasn't angry; instead, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Gan Yu walked to the table and sat down, next to Ning Guang who had a smile on her face.

Gan Yu glanced at her and asked, "You came so early today, is it because I left work early on purpose?"

Ningguang shook her head and smiled, "I'm here to deliver something."

"what?"

"Those little things in your hair."

"...paper scraps?"

"Yes, I got these from the new paper mill. These are the first batch of products from the factory. Aren't they special?"

"It's quite unique; it sticks to the surface and you can't get it off."

"Haha, you should wash it off at the bathhouse later."

"It can only be this way."

"Thanks to you, we can enjoy Mr. Xia's feast tonight."

"Don't you come to the restaurant every day to freeload?"

“It’s different. Mr. Xia said he received some new kitchen utensils, and the dishes will taste even better if he uses them.”

"Oh? New kitchenware..."

Gan Yu couldn't help but look towards the kitchen, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Coming!"

Diona immediately ran to open the door.

There were two familiar faces outside the door.

Ke Qing and Zhong Li.

Ke Qing walked in, smiling, and asked, "Aren't we late?"

"no!"

"That's good."

Ke Qing came to the shop with Xiang Ling yesterday and accepted everyone's invitation. So after she returned to the construction site, she took the opportunity to tell Zhong Li that she invited him to come with her today.

Holding a wine glass, Hu Tao called out towards the door, "Zhongli! Come and have a drink!"

Zhongli nodded calmly: "Yes, Hall Master, please be mindful of your image."

"Alright, alright, I know you haven't been running up debts at the construction site like you did last time, have you?"

"Of course not."

"That's good, otherwise I'm afraid someone will come knocking on my door demanding money again sometime."

Gan Yu watched as Zhong Li walked to another table, her gaze slightly strange.

Even the Rock King Emperor made a special trip to attend her birthday party.

I wonder if His Majesty came because of me or because of Mr. Xia. In any case, he couldn't have come just to freeload a meal, could he?

Since the Emperor was unwilling to reveal his identity, Gan Yu didn't pay much attention to him. After glancing at him twice, she silently looked away.

Then, Bai Shu and Chang Sheng also arrived.

Before long, Xiangling and Shenhe carried a huge steamer out of the kitchen.

Everyone watched, filled with curiosity.

Xia Zhi walked behind and said with a smile, "The birthday party was originally going to have a big cake, but considering that Miss Gan Yu is a vegetarian, I changed the way we did it."

"this is?"

"The big Shaomai in the forest."

As Xia Zhi finished speaking, Xiang Ling reached out and lifted the lid of the steamer.

A plume of white steam rose from within, carrying an enticing aroma.

Once the steam dissipated, everyone could finally see what was inside the steamer.

It was an enormous shumai made up of countless tiny shumai.

"The fillings inside are all vegetarian, mainly mushrooms, supplemented with various vegetables, symbolizing the myriad aspects of the forest. Happy birthday, Ms. Gan Yu."

Happy birthday!

"Thank you, Mr. Xia! Thank you everyone!"

After finishing their speeches, everyone started eating.

Bai Zhu held the plate, picked up a small shumai, and took a bite.

The first taste is fresh and delicious, followed by a sense of vitality hidden within the food.

Bai Shu was stunned for a moment.

Changsheng on the neck was also stunned for a moment.

The man and the snake exchanged a glance.

Then, Bai Zhu lowered her head and silently quickened her eating pace.

Whether it tastes good or not doesn't matter. The important thing is that if we eat one more bite today, we might be able to save one more life tomorrow.

When Bai Zhu was quite full, she realized that the large shumai was just an appetizer, and there were many more dishes to come, all of which, like the shumai, were full of vitality.

The man and the snake exchanged a glance.

Bai Zhu's expression turned somewhat helpless.

Next time I eat here, I really need to bring some "digestive medicine" with me.

After we finished eating, it was already quite late outside.

There was no way to return to the construction site, so Zhongli, after being repeatedly invited by the two True Lords, went to the teahouse to play cards.

Bai Zhu drank a cup of hot tea to aid digestion, then got up to say goodbye and returned to Bu Bu Lu.

Grandma Ping sat in the hall with Guoba and Qiqi, continuing to drink tea.

The remaining girls went to the bathhouse in the back to soak in the water.

Gan Yu finally washed the paper scraps off her hair, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed.

Everyone started teasing her, saying she was the star of the night and that she should be the first to go get a massage from Xia Zhi.

Gan Yu blushed, but still went over wrapped in a bath towel.

"Mr. Xia."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's your birthday today. We'll hold parties like this for other people's birthdays in the future."

"Birthdays...do you care about things like that?"

"of course."

"I thought……"

"Why?"

"I thought only humans cared about birthdays. For an immortal being like me, having lived so long and celebrated so many birthdays, there's not much point in celebrating anymore. In fact, I haven't properly celebrated my birthday for many years. Sometimes I forget because I'm too busy with work, and sometimes if I remember, I'll go to my favorite restaurant alone for a meal, but that's about it..."

"Doesn't Grandma Ping celebrate her birthday every year?"

“Grandma Ping is different. She holds birthday banquets more to give immortals from all over the world an excuse to come to Liyue to gather.”

"Yes."

“But I’m still very happy today. I used to feel lonely when I was in this city, but I haven’t felt that loneliness for a long time now.”

"Do you want to be even happier?"

"what?"

Then, there is no more.

To be honest, even the Qilin, a benevolent beast, has little tolerance for the "enjoyment" aspect of massage.

……

In the bathing pool.

Hu Tao's face was slightly flushed with intoxication. She looked at Diona in front of her and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

She remembered that the last time she came to the shop for a bath, Diona's figure was just as flat as hers.

How come Diona's figure seems to have developed so much in such a short time?!

impossible!
