Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Su spoke sadly about Xiao's recent situation and his own speculations.

"I can never find him. When I finally get a chance to talk to him, he always leaves. No matter how I invite him, he refuses..." The girl's eyes turned red unconsciously, "Is he, is he..."

Don't you want to be friends with her anymore?

Zhongli sighed. He had been paying attention to Xiao’s situation, so he knew a little about it.

As the surviving one of the five Yakshas, ​​Xiao has been searching for items and information left behind by his other brothers and sisters.

He has been avoiding Su like this recently, probably because he found some old things that reminded him of sad memories.

Maybe, the karma has recurred recently.

That's why I want to stay away from the person I cherish, so that I won't hurt her against my will one day.

Thinking of this, Zhongli felt that he needed to go to Wangshu Inn to see Xiao in person.

"Really?!" Su was very happy. "If Zhongli asks, Xiao will definitely give a good answer! You must help me find out what happened to him."

The girl was so happy that her mind started to work again, "How about letting Xiao be with me? Zhongli will definitely be able to do it!"

"This..." Although he was concerned about Xiao's situation, he did not intend to interfere too much in Xiao's decision.

Xiao's character is resolute and stubborn, and all his decisions are based on his own will.

In the past, he would at most quietly take care of Xiao when he was in a life-and-death crisis, and he had no intention of controlling Xiao's life at other times.

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care!" Su, who is sensible but not completely sensible, uses the naughty child's skill - playing tricks.

"Zhongli promised to help me with something!" Su took out the agreement under the Fulong tree, "Zhongli must keep his word!"

"..." He had promised, but couldn't she use this promise for something more important? It wasn't that he was frivolous, but his promises were very precious in the eyes of others, and they were generally not used easily.

"The important thing is to be able to play happily with Xiao!" The girl's eyes were full of seriousness.

I want to cherish Xiao, I want to cherish the important people.

“Alas,” Zhongli sighed, “I will help you persuade him, but the final decision on what to do is still up to Xiao.”

Sue nodded, "That's enough."

If Xiao finally decides to stay away from her...

Then, let's give Xiao the freedom not to be disturbed by her.

——*——*——

As it was getting dark, the pickled pork with preserved vegetables that Zhongli had been stewing for almost a whole day was finally ready. As soon as the lid of the casserole was opened, Paimeng's saliva began to flow three feet long.

"What a nice smell! What a nice smell!" Paimon's eyes were full of stars, "I can eat three bowls of rice just by smelling this!"

Su Ye's eyes sparkled, and his expression was full of "I want to eat, I want to eat".

Sora began to study the ingredients in the casserole.

"Blanch the large pieces of lean meat and bacon to remove the fishy smell, put them in a casserole, add ginger slices, scallions and other seasonings, and simmer over low heat for at least half a day."

“When the flavor is strong enough, add the sprouted bamboo shoots into the pot and continue to stew, so that the flavor of the bamboo shoots can be fully integrated into the soup.”

Zhongli stirred it lightly with a bamboo spoon, and the fresh and rich aroma of pickled pork with preserved vegetables wafted out. The three members of the traveler team followed his movements of scooping the soup into bowls.

After serving, Zhongli placed the small bowl in front of them, "Here, please use it. Maybe you can give me some suggestions for improvement."

The team of travelers couldn't wait to scoop a spoonful of soup into their mouths. The delicious taste immediately bloomed on the tip of the tongue, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves. Then they took a bite of the tender bamboo shoots, the fragrance and crispness made them want to eat more.

The soup is rich and fragrant, the bamboo shoots are crispy and tender, and the delicious taste adds a refreshing touch to the whole dish.

In every bite, you can feel the tenderness of the meat and the crispness of the bamboo shoots blending together, coupled with the rich meaty aroma and light salty taste. This perfect combination is simply a feast for the taste buds!

"It's super delicious!" Su gave a full-star rating loudly, "One hundred points! Zhongli is the champion!"

“There are no other contestants here…” Paimon complained but his next words were all approval, “I didn’t expect Zhongli’s cooking skills to be so good! Open a shop, open a shop right now!”

"I will definitely go to support you every day, and I will give you all the pocket money Su Hekong gives me!"

"It's delicious!" Kong also agreed, "It's the most delicious thing."

Zhongli smiled and thanked his friends for their support, but opening a store was something he had never considered.

Although he loves food and can cook it, he is not the type who loves to cook. He usually eats out.

The last time I cooked and shared with friends was a long time ago.

"Speaking of top-notch delicacies, I have a recipe here." Zhongli handed a page of recipes to Kong. "Although the ingredients cost a little more Mora, it is indeed a rare delicacy."

Su and Paimon leaned over to look at it with Sora. Not only were the ingredients and steps on the recipe extremely long, but the ingredients were mostly expensive delicacies from land and sea. As for the name of this dish -

"Immortal Jumps Over the Wall?"

Su raised his head and imagined the scene of Liuyun Zhenjun, Xiao, Grandma Ping and other immortals jumping over a high wall one after another after drinking the soup.

"Will immortals jump over the wall after drinking this soup?" Can only immortals drink this soup? Or will mortals not jump over the wall after drinking it?

"The name means that this dish is very delicious. The fragrance is so strong that even the pure-hearted immortals would jump over the high wall to taste it." Zhongli explained with a smile, not feeling that the noble image of immortals was tarnished at all. "It's just that the people who respect immortals use exaggerated words to praise the deliciousness of this dish."

"So that's how it is." Kong looked at the numerous ingredients on the recipe. It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to collect all of them. The cooking steps and time required were also very long.

Perhaps it is because this dish is so delicious that such a complicated recipe was collected by Zhongli, which made him curious about how delicious this dish is.

"Thank you, Zhongli. I will definitely invite you to taste it when I finish making it." Kong put away the recipe.

"Sure." Zhongli nodded. He was also looking forward to seeing Kong's craftsmanship.

Su looked at Zhongli without saying anything.

Although Zhongli often played them, he also helped them a lot. She had thought about giving Zhongli a gift before, but she had never found the right thing.

Zhongli has a wide range of knowledge. Whatever she gets, Zhongli either doesn't need it, or he has seen or even owns something better.

Giving someone something he doesn't like or need reluctantly is just completing a task. An act without any thought cannot be called giving a gift.

Send Zhongli what he needs? She is not experienced enough to see what Zhongli needs.

If you ask directly, Zhongli will just say that he doesn't want anything.

Su raised his chin, "Zhongli, is there anything you want recently? Or is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhongli has done her a big favor again. Today, I just asked him as usual. Who knows, maybe Zhongli wants something?

"There's nothing I want recently. The hall has distributed year-end dividends, and I'm not short of Mora for the time being." Zhongli said.

Look, he really said that again. The next sentence is, "Your concern and care are the best gifts I have received recently", and then it ends.

Zhongli went on to say: "Your concern and care is the second best gift I have received recently..."

Ok? !

Su suddenly stood up and waited for his next words.

"...The best gift recently," Zhongli Liujin looked at Earl Tuo Tuo who had eaten the soup on his face with a smile in his eyes, "is the little miracle you created for me."

"Are you talking about Count Tuotuo? This was an accident." Su lay back down again. The birth of Count Tuotuo was an accident. It was not a gift she prepared for Zhongli at all.

Why is it so difficult to give Zhongli a gift?

Zhongli smiled and glanced at the distressed girl. He would not tell her that her and Kong's appearance was already a miracle for the world. Their existence was the gift he wanted.
