Mandrill volunteered to go home with me after traveling through Genshin Impact

When Shuangxue was ready to kill the sky lantern, Hutao happened to come back from Wangshu Inn and met Shuangxue.

"Ah, Shuangxue. The Sea Lantern Festival is coming soon. To celebrate the Sea Lantern Festival, I held a banquet. You must come then!"

"Eh? Why so early? Shouldn't it be during the Hai Lantern Festival? It's still some time before the Hai Lantern Festival?"

Shuangxue was a little confused. She remembered that during the plot, the dinner was after the lanterns were set off during the Hai Lantern Festival. How could it be so early?

"It's not important. We get together in the morning and at night. It's just that the day has moved a little earlier, so you must remember to come when the time comes."

"Ah, okay. It will come when the time comes." Shuangxue was still looking forward to it. Mandrill looked embarrassed. She was looking forward to it, so of course she had to go to the show.

"Then let's just say it. You must come when the time comes. I'll go get ready first." Hutao left happily again.

In the blink of an eye, it was Shuangxue's birthday, but in the busy atmosphere of the Hai Lantern Festival, Shuangxue had completely forgotten about it, and even thought about going to the banquet to eat melon.

So Shuangxue was looking forward to it when this day arrived, and even went there early just to eat melons.

Seeing Shuangxue's expectant eyes, Zhongli thought she had guessed that this was a birthday party for her. "My little friend seems particularly happy?"

"Ahem, how could that happen?" Shuangxue still had a look of expectation on her face, but Zhongli felt that this expression was very familiar... After thinking for a while, he finally remembered.

When he retired, Shuangxue had this expression the whole time, with a look of vague expectation, but holding back a smile. …So Shuangxue doesn’t know that this is a birthday party for her, but is looking forward to something else?

Zhongli shook his head helplessly. People were also arriving one after another, but everyone made a tacit agreement not to let Shuangxue know. Shuangxue was silently waiting for Mandrill's arrival.

But at this time, Shuangxue noticed some wind noise coming from outside the door, and snickered and pretended not to hear it. At this time, Hutao and Mandrill finally arrived.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang! Here we come. Not late, right? Not late, right? Well, thanks to Mandrill, like me, he comes and goes like the wind, and the time is just right."

Mandrill looked at so many acquaintances, but still felt a little embarrassed.

"It turns out that the distinguished guest is actually the Great Sage of Conquering Demons, whom I have admired for a long time. The hall master did not explain it when we met for a small gathering. I really didn't expect that the visitors were not only young heroes, but also the Jinpeng Immortal who maintains peace in all directions in Liyue. Being able to gather with everyone here is truly a blessing. It’s all about appearance.”

Zhongli knew Mandrill would come but at this moment he pretended. Shuangxue could only cover her face and suppress her laughter. She had been looking forward to this scene for a long time.

"Uh..." Faced with this scene, Mandrill was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. He looked at Shuangxue with some embarrassment, but he saw Shuangxue suppressing a smile and almost lying on the table.

"Zhong...Mr. Ke Qing has said it..." Mandrill could only say this.

"Given the relationship between Mandrill and Shuangxue, if they are in a good relationship, you two must sit together." Hutao greeted Mandrill and sat next to Shuangxue.

"Shuangxue...why are you so happy?" Mandrill asked with some confusion.

"Ahem, it's okay. You saw it wrong." Shuangxue was embarrassed to let Mandrill know that she was taking advantage of him.

"Sister? Were you kidding Mandrill just now?" Leng Leng knew Zhong Li's identity, so he could naturally guess what Shuang Xue was laughing at.

Shuangxue hurriedly covered her cold mouth, but the words were still heard by Mandrill, who shook his head slightly helplessly but with a smile.

But everyone was unconsciously respectful to Mandrill, and their tone of voice was also very polite, which made Mandrill even more embarrassed.

"Wow, everyone is suddenly respectful. I don't know how to interrupt... Uh, Master Mandrill... The Demon-Conquering Immortal... The Great Sage! Paimon also salutes you and wishes you a happy Lantern Festival!"

When Mandrill heard this, he looked at Shuangxue in embarrassment. Shuangxue was still gloating about his misfortune. Suddenly he noticed that Mandrill looked over and stuck out his tongue naughtily.

Paimon was a little embarrassed and racked his brains to think of such a sentence.

"Isn't it right to wish in advance?" Ying said.

"I have worked very hard to sort out my words, please don't find fault with me!"

"Pfft, you don't need to be so respectful. It's the Sea Lantern Festival. Let's celebrate together. You just make Mandrill a little nervous." Shuangxue hurriedly came to Mandrill's rescue.

"Yes... everyone, no need to be polite." Mandrill suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right. We are all old acquaintances, so going back and forth like this will make people feel nervous. Making you be so cautious is not the original intention of this hall master to invite everyone to dinner."

"Then what was the original purpose of Hutao?" Shuangxue asked.

"Shuangxue, do you really not remember, or are you pretending not to know? I can see the expectant look on your face, so I should have guessed it, right?" Hu Tao said helplessly.

Shuangxue, who was suddenly named, was a little baffled. "An? What? No, why does this meal have anything to do with me?"

Mandrill reminded helplessly. "Shuangxue, today is your birthday."

Shuangxue was a little confused when she heard this. The meal time had been moved forward a lot, but she didn't know the reason. She suddenly realized it when Mandrill mentioned it.

On her last birthday, she was still in the hands of the doctor, and so many things had happened this year that she had completely forgotten about it. Only then did she realize why the meal had been brought so far in advance.

"Ah...so today is my birthday." Shuangxue scratched her head in embarrassment.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of wind outside the door. "Ah? It turns out that today is Shuangxue's birthday. How could I not come on such an important day?"

Then Wendy came in. "Everyone, excuse me. I didn't expect that today is Shuangxue's birthday. Happy birthday to Shuangxue."

"Yes, happy birthday to Shuangxue." Hutao said.

Everyone also followed closely and said together. "Happy birthday."

"Shuangxue, happy birthday..." Mandrill said softly.

Shuangxue had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice, but even her voice was choked. "It's hard for you to still remember, I've even forgotten..."

"Shuangxue...raise your head." Mandrill whispered, falling in Shuangxue's ear, and she raised her head in confusion.

And Mandrill's hand fell on her ear, and Mandrill's face was very close to her. Normally, Shuangxue would definitely not be able to help but kiss her directly, but with so many people present, she didn't dare to be so bold.

Mandrill put the earrings on Shuangxue's ears. After putting the earrings on, Shuangxue touched them subconsciously. The cool earrings were filled with strong fairy power.

"I asked Liu Yun to make this. This earring contains my magical power. It can protect you at critical moments. This way, I will have time to rush to you in case of emergencies."

(The reason why the heroine doesn’t remember is probably because she inherited it from me. Maybe it’s the reason why I forget. So I also want my daughter to inherit this. It’s interesting, but the difference is that she forgot. Some people remember, but I don’t. Right? I originally wanted to write this on the day of my daughter’s birthday, but the plot really couldn’t be postponed, so it was originally scheduled for January 1th.)
