Genshin Impact: Please, have a romantic relationship with me

Chapter 23 Zhongli: Don’t ask me this question

After receiving his own thousand Mora from Catherine, Lin Bai happily went to the dock market to buy some fish.

I want to make fish soup again, and Ganyu also likes it.

The point is, because it is a port city, seafood is actually quite cheap.

"Lin Bai."

Unexpectedly, I met Zhongli who was strolling around at the port.

Zhongli took the initiative to greet him, but when he saw that he was holding a fish in his hand, he took a step back.

"You, bought fish?"

Lin Bai hummed: "Zhongli, do you want to have dinner together?"

Zhongli shook his head: "No, I don't really like seafood."

Lin Bai said "oh" and only then remembered that Zhongli really didn't like seafood.

This is what he mentioned in his voice: Even if you just see seafood, you will think of the slippery touch and the fishy smell that cannot be washed away.

He remembered that the real reason was explained in Zhongli's character profile.

It is said that during the war between demons and gods, Zhongli encountered a monster that came from the deep sea.

These monsters have soft skin and scales on their bodies, and their arms and legs are nimble, so they can survive even if their limbs are cut off.

The most disgusting thing is that they will vomit sticky and wet liquid.

What’s even more terrifying is that these monsters are very small, which makes it easy for them to spread out in every corner of the house.

In daily life, everyone may touch something extremely cold, sticky, wet and disgusting.

Over time, even Zhongli has developed a psychological trauma.

So it's really understandable that he doesn't like seafood.

Lin Bai didn't force it, he smiled and said:

"Then I'll go find some Hsinchu Menglue next time and invite you to come over for dinner."

"Very good."

When he heard it was Hsinchu Menglue, Zhongli agreed quickly without any hesitation.

Lin Bai left with the fish, and came back after a while.

"What's wrong?" Zhongli asked.

"Zhongli, you are very knowledgeable and well-informed. I have a question for you."

"Yeah, you ask."

Lin Bai thought about it and decided to be more direct and asked:

"Um, have you ever been in love?"

Zhongli said calmly:

"You know, when I was a god, I worked very hard for Liyue, dealing with all kinds of things, pouring out all my energy, running around, and working hard..."

"Have you talked about it?"

"No."

"I knew it. Never mind. There's no point asking you."

Seeing Lin Bai about to leave, Zhongli called him back:

"You and Ganyu are together?"

Lin Bai's steps wavered:

"No, I would like to, but I'm afraid it would scare her if I'm too direct."

"Then why do you ask this question?"

At this time, Zhongli turned into a curious baby and simply walked side by side with Lin Bai, but not on the side of the fish.

"It's just that I encountered a problem that might make a girl angry."

"Elaborate."

Lin Bai glanced at Zhongli and thought to himself, you old man are also very gossipy.

He concealed Keqing's name and restored the events.

After listening to this, Zhongli said, "This..."

"How is it? Do you know the reason?"

Zhongli shook his head: "Isn't this a bit of an overreaction? Logically speaking, reminding her is a good thing."

Lin Bai clapped his hands: "Yes, I think so too, but the girl might think that I looked at her feet and think that I am a pervert."

Zhongli shook his head again: "Probably not, the women of Liyue are not that conservative, but it seems to make some sense..."

Lin Bai: "...Your words are really contradictory."

The two "straight men" who didn't understand girls' minds chatted until they reached the point where they couldn't stop eating three bowls of rice. When they heard Tian Tiezui repeatedly talking about the story of the Rock King who swept across the world to compete for the Central Plains, Zhongli turned a corner and sat down at the table.

Lin Bai smiled and shook his head, then went to buy some ingredients and went home.

...

Moon Sea Pavilion.

It was not yet time to get off work, but Ganyu was already feeling hungry.

When she found herself imagining what Lin Bai would eat tonight during her short break, she suddenly felt like she... had really slacked off on her work!

At this time in the past, I would have wanted to deal with a few more matters.

But now, I'm hungry, thinking about what to eat and when to get off work...

“This isn’t good. Although my contract as Liyue’s secretary has expired, since I’ve chosen to continue working for the people of Liyue in this position, I should do it with all my heart!”

"How can you be distracted just for a bite of food?"

Ganyu reflected on herself, tried hard to concentrate, and returned her energy to work again.

Then he secretly took a bite of the osmanthus cake.

"Gan Yu."

Before getting off work, Keqing suddenly came to see her.

Everyone noticed that Keqing had been coming to see Ganyu more frequently recently, and the two had been having secret conversations for a long time.

So people were discussing whether Liyue was going to hold any big event recently.

Actually.

The two were eating snacks secretly.

"Leave some for me."

There are only two pieces of osmanthus cake left.

Keqing quickly picked up a piece and took a big bite.

"Really delicious!"

Ganyu chuckled and asked:

"The clothes I changed into today were made by Lady Ningguang, right?"

Ganyu has always thought that this royal blue dress is so beautiful. It suits Keqing's temperament very well and is a good match.

It’s just that I don’t wear it very often on ordinary days, and only wear it when attending important events.

Keqing nodded with puffy cheeks and replied vaguely, "Yes."

She thought about it and decided to tell Ganyu about how her black silk stockings were cut by a tree branch today and how she encountered a "lecher".

After hearing this, Ganyu laughed like the sound of wind chimes:

"It's okay. I guess that person was just giving me a kind reminder."

Keqing sighed, "I know that, but it's just... how should I put it, the first time someone saw my ankles, it was just like that, you know, I pay a lot of attention to my ankles."

"Yeah, I know. But that person doesn't dare to do anything wrong. You may be Yuhengxing, he won't say anything wrong. If he dares to say anything wrong, I will help you deal with him first."

"Okay, sometimes I may not get information so quickly when I'm at the construction site. If you hear about it, help me silence it."

Keqing pretended to be fierce and made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Ganyu responded with a chuckle.

Keqing finished her cake and stood up: "Then I'll leave now. By the way, do you know what the light novel cultural exchange will be next month? Are you in charge of this?"

"I just took over today and haven't had time to look at the list yet. What's wrong?"

Ganyu pointed to a folder beside her.

Keqing said:

“I went home during those days and hadn’t eaten with my family for a long time.

So I'm actually on vacation those days. If you're done with your work, I'll come to your house.

I promised before that I would help you test that Lin Bai. As a friend, I will definitely help you."

Ganyu nodded: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Keqing."

"Why are you being polite? I'm leaving now. When I think of that abominable scoundrel, I feel mixed emotions. Forget it. Next time I see him, I'll feel relieved if I shut him up. I was careless!"

She walked away, mumbling to herself.

Gan Yu leaned her head to check the time: "Hey, it's time to get off work! Let's go home."

What is overtime?

I don’t know.

Anyway, it's time to hand it over to the younger generations.

She took the documents home and looked at them. After all, the light novel cultural exchange event had been held last year, so she was familiar with it.

Working from home is also simple and convenient.

It is convenient for her to eat dinner with big mouthfuls and then go out for a walk as exercise.

The key is to have someone to eat with and someone to take a walk with, that is the most beautiful thing.

"Lin Bai, I'm back."

"Yes, Senior Sister, wash your hands. I just made the fish soup."

"Okay, I'm not a child. I remember washing my hands."

Ganyu responded while changing her shoes. She couldn't bear to hear this right now.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "You're bringing work home?"

"It's not a heavy job. There's just an event at the beginning of next month that's related to the New Year at Inazuma's place. I'll take a look at the schedule of the event and the list of authors so I can make arrangements when the time comes."

"author?"

Lin Bai brought up a plate of Mapo Tofu and looked at Ganyu with surprise.

"Are you currently in charge of the light novel cultural exchange activities between Liyue and Inazuma?"

Ganyu nodded: "Yes, you...ah, I remember, you also make money by writing novels. Could it be that you were invited as well?"

She quickly opened the file bag.

Lin Bai said proudly: "Of course. You really don't pay attention to my novels. How could you not know about it?"
