System: I help the home host meet Genshin Impact friends

A Sanxingdui Museum.

After Zhongli checked the code, he put away his phone and said to Mandrill, "Okay, we can go back."

Mandrill nodded: "Yeah."

So why are you trying to distract me?

Zhongli chose to swing back slowly.

Everyone in the apartment who didn't know the situation said: ...so slow.

Keli: I really want to fire off a salute, but Keli has to hold back.

Zhong Li sent a message to Ji Xiaoying when he was about to return to the apartment.

After Ji Xiaoying received it, she asked everyone to get ready.

Mandrill cooperated very well and did not go up to the rooftop, but came to the door with Zhongli.

He could sense that there were many people in the apartment at this time.

The familiar elemental powers are Xiangling, Xiaogong, and recently Keli and Kaia.

Mandrill frowned more and more, unable to understand the current situation.

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and directly reached out to open the door.

"PangPang!"

As soon as the door opened, the living room was carefully decorated, and two salutes sounded.

The ribbon popped out of the salute cannon and landed on Mandrill, who had a blank look on his face.

Keli and Ji Xiaoying, who were holding salute cannons, said to Mandrill:

"Mandrill, happy birthday!"

"Liyue's immortal brother, Keli wishes you a happy birthday!"

Mandrill had ribbons on his hair and a look of astonishment on his face. He had never imagined that all the abnormalities today were actually to celebrate his birthday.

For him, birthday celebrations are just redundant, no different from ordinary days.

The immortal has lived for thousands of years, and his birthday is nothing more than a trivial matter.

He was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses until Keli gave him a gift.

Keli handed a bengbeng to Mandrill: "Liyue's immortal brother, this is Keli's favorite treasure! Keli will give it to you!"

In addition to her most favorite toys, Keli also has her most favorite, and her most favorite...

Seeing this, Kaia covered her head and thought: Keli is really... But after all, he is an immortal from Liyue, so he shouldn't be accidentally injured by Bengbeng, right?

Mandrill looked at the cute bounce on his hand and stared at it for a while before saying, "Thank you."

The gift given by Ji Xiaoying was a scarf that was loosely knitted and leaked everywhere. She hid in her room at night and worked hard all night.

This is the first time she has made a gift for someone other than her parents.

Even Ji Xiaoying would be embarrassed to give such a gift: "Well, you can wear this scarf if you want. If you don't want to wear it, you can just find a place to throw it away... I'll prepare other gifts for you!"

Mandrill gently took the scarf, shook his head and said, "No, I will put it away."

Ji Xiaoying giggled and said, "Really? Hehe..."

Others also sent their own gifts one after another.

Xiangling served almond tofu.

"Happy birthday to the Great Sage of Conquering Demons!"

Crispy rice comes with chili.

"puff!"

Kaiya will always send you fine wine.

"A day worth celebrating, I wish you true happiness today."

Xiao Gong gave me a candy box, which contained various candies with different flavors.

Xiao Gong’s original words were: “Sweet things can drive away nightmares!”

Xiao Zhongzhong tiptoed: "I don't have anything to give you. I can only give you a cloud disk, which contains all the horror movie resources I have accumulated! You can read it when you are bored."

Mandrill: "...Thank you."

He thought he wouldn't like things like horror movies because all the fear comes from the lack of firepower. If he really encountered a ghost, it was hard to say who would call for help.

(Ghost: That’s it, Mom, you don’t have to cook my food tonight.)

In the end, Zhongli was left.

Zhongli came up from behind and said to Mandrill, "Happy birthday Mandrill."

Mandrill lowered his head slightly: "Afraid."

Zhongli smiled softly: "This is my gift to you."

What Zhongli took out was...a book filled with messages.

The above are the blessings of the people of Liyue for the birthday of the Great Sage of Conquering Demons collected by Zhongli from visiting various places in Liyue.

"Happy birthday to the Great Sage of Conquering Demons!"

"The Great Sage of Conquering Demons has vast supernatural powers, and his magical powers are profound!"

"Everything goes well, Great Sage."

"The Great Sage Conquering Demons will also come to Liyue Port for the next Hai Lantern Festival!"

"The Great Sage of Conquering Demons doesn't have to worry about Di Huazhou. I will fulfill my duties well...although I will never encounter evil spirits."

"If Immortal Mandrill has anything to do, just call upon Zhongli Keqing. There is no need to be polite to him. I will increase Zhongli Keqing's salary as appropriate... He still keeps track of the accounts of the Hall of Rebirth!"

"Ahem, cough, cough, I wish you longevity and happiness, and congratulate you on your happy birthday." (Tsk, such an ugly word.)

"I wish the great sage a happy birthday. I will congratulate the great sage on his birthday on the stage."

"Birth, birthday, happiness."

"Shangxian Mandrill, please come to Bubu Lu next time you return to Liyue and let me take care of it carefully."

......

The handwriting on the notebook is messy, but they are all full of blessings. Judging from the writing style, you can vaguely tell who wrote them.

Zhongli said: "Birthday is a very memorable day, isn't it?"

Mandrill looked complicated and nodded.

Ji Xiaoying clapped her hands and said, "Okay, now everyone's gifts have been given away! Let's take a seat quickly, Xiangling and I have cooked a lot today!"

Xiang Ling: "Guoba can also help!"

Guo Ba smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Pfft."

Everyone took their seats and began to enjoy dinner.

The dinner was very sumptuous, but we didn’t eat much because we still had to keep some food in our stomachs. Otherwise, when I eat the cake later, my stomach will be full and there will be no place to cry.

Keli: "Keli doesn't like eating crabs, crabs have shells!"

Xiaogong: "It's okay. Sister Xiaogong will help you peel the shell."

Kaia: "Mr. Zhongli seems to be very knowledgeable about wine?"

Zhongli: "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Xiangling: "Um, Crispy Rice Balls, why did you finish all the 'Golden Shrimp Balls'! Crispy Rice Balls, bad!"

Guo Ba: "Pfft?"

Ji Xiaoying: "Mandrill, wait a minute and there will be cakes. They are not bought from outside. They are made by the master and I! I don't know if the taste is as good as the ones outside."

Mandrill: "Yeah."

"..."

Mandrill felt a desire to understand human thoughts for the first time.

The emperor once asked him, 'Do you think it is necessary for immortals to understand human beings? '

Mandrill's answer at the time was, 'Human life is very short. '

The emperor smiled and said, 'That's why we need to consider earlier whether we want to understand a person and his past. '

Everything today touched Mandrill.

Mandrill lowered his eyebrows and thought. He seemed to have never known about Ji Xiaoying's past. He only knew that she didn't like strangers.

What will her past be like?

What will the past be like for the rest of the people?

After dinner, everyone sat on the sofa and played a game - Summoning the Seven Saints.

Except Kaiya and Zhongli, who are playing chess.

Ji Xiaoying was exposed to this game for the first time, and she was a mess, and finally lost to Xiao Keli.

Next, Ji Xiaoying fought against Xiao Gong, and Ji Xiaoying looked at Mandrill pitifully.

If there is no foreign aid, she will lose miserably, and the notes on her face are already plastered on most of her face.

Mandrill sighed, there was nothing he could do.

I had no choice but to teach Ji Xiaoying step by step, starting from the deck building.

The result... After a slight improvement, Ji Xiaoying could no longer stick it on her face, so she had to stick it on Xiao Zhongzhong's face.

Xiao Zhongzhong: "..." What does this have to do with me!

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

Mandrill, Xiaogong, and Keli also had some notes more or less stuck on their faces, each with its own victory or defeat.
