Genshin Impact: Please, have a romantic relationship with me

Speaking of how I got to know Mr. Zhongli, we have to mention the incident of Lin Bai going to the fat guy to gamble on stones.

When Lin Bai first arrived in Liyue Harbor and hadn’t received his commission yet, he almost starved to death. But when he saw the fat man’s gambling stone stall, he came up with a bold idea: take a gamble!

I don't know much about stones, but if I take a gamble, you can imagine that the result will be very tragic.

However, he was lucky enough to meet Mr. Zhongli who was strolling around. Just by looking at his eyes, Lin Bai could tell which piece was real and which piece was without jade.

Therefore, the first Mora he earned in Liyue was actually related to Zhongli.

As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure. He made a lot of money from the fat boy.

When the fat boy saw Zhongli standing nearby, he was angry but dared not say anything, and finally had to pack up his stall and go home.

After that, he invited Zhongli to have tea and listen to books. The two idlers ate and drank together and became quite familiar with each other.

But later on he started taking on commissions and running errands, and began to stay up late to write novels, so he hadn't seen Zhongli for a while.

Sure enough, he was still not free enough to run errands for a few dollars, and someone reimbursed Zhongli's long bills for him.

I slept so comfortably that it seemed like a very long sleep. However, when I woke up and looked at the time, it was only a little over two hours.

The fragrance spread throughout the house.

As soon as he got up, he saw Zhongli already serving soup. The four dishes and one soup were so appetizing.

But isn’t this a bit too much?

"Zhongli, are you using up all the vegetables I bought today?"

Zhongli hummed: "Any questions?"

Aren’t the vegetables you buy meant to be eaten at noon?

Lin Bai shook his head:

"No problem, but I need to buy dinner."

Zhongli drank a mouthful of soup and said, "You said you had a date tonight, right? I always thought you were a loner, or a homebody in your own words. How come someone invited you to dinner?"

"You make it sound like I have no friends. Look, didn't you come over to have lunch with me? There will be someone for dinner too." After taking a sip, Lin Bai found that the soup tasted very appetizing. He served himself another bowl and hurried away, looking a bit starving.

"Zhongli, your cooking skills are pretty good, you can open a restaurant."

"Forget it. This doesn't fit my original intention of traveling around the world."

Zhongli refused to work as a bricklayer, and he could even slack off in the Wangsheng Hall. He was his own boss, and the owner of a restaurant, so he didn't even have the chance to slack off.

"Things like Mora are external to me. I don't have that many pursuits."

Yes, yes, of course you would say that since Wangsheng Hall will pay the bill.

Lin Bai said: "It's different for me. I have to get married in the future, and no one will handle the bills for me, so I have to earn some Mora."

"Getting married? We can take our time." Zhongli said somewhat bewilderedly, as if he didn't understand why one should be in a hurry to get married when life is so long.

Lin Bai thought seriously about how to respond to Zhongli's words.

Zhongli is a demon god, and he has lived for too long, so he is probably worn out emotionally. Those who understand others may not necessarily understand themselves.

But now it seems that I don’t really understand others.

He said: "I am just an ordinary human being, with only a few decades to live. If I want to marry a wife, I'd better do it sooner."

"Do you think I will be able to have a wife when I am old in a few years?"

Zhongli was stunned by what he said. He pondered for a moment and said, "Then I understand."

"Do you really understand?"

"Well, I've seen a lot of weddings in Liyue. If you need my help, just let me know. I'm also quite knowledgeable about wedding banquets."

Lin Bai laughed twice: "No problem, but you have to have a girlfriend before you can have a wife. It seems a bit far away now. Hey, no matter where you are, you still have to make money first."

"Then the person you have a dinner date with tonight, is she a girl?"

"um, yes."

"If you are interested in each other, then you should seize the opportunity."

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment by what he said, then smiled and shook his head:

"It might be a little difficult. She seems to only have work on her mind. She's a workaholic. By the way, you should know her."

"Who?"

"Gan Yu."

"..."

After not hearing the other party speak for a long time, Lin Bai looked up from the soup bowl and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhongli exhaled heavily:

"You've actually set your sights on Ganyu?"

Lin Bai saw that he looked like an old father, who was wary of his daughter being targeted by a yellow-haired guy.

He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed:

"Zhongli, are you trying to expose your identity as the Rock King and remind me that she is a simple girl that you watched grow up, and that I am not allowed to have any improper thoughts about her?"

After all, Zhongli has lived for thousands of years, and staying calm is his quality.

"Do you know who I am?"

Lin Bai hummed: "You also know that I am not a native of Teyvat, right? I come from another world. As an outsider, it is normal for me to see some things clearly. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. We are friends."

Zhongli was silent for a while before saying:

"I can't quite see through you, but this is ultimately your own private matter. I want to know now, will you go back? Get married and have children here, what if one day you go back?"

Lin Bai shook his head: "It's a long way off, and I only have so much time to live. Why think so much? Enjoy the present moment, isn't that also your current philosophy of life?"

"…From a general theoretical perspective, it seems to make sense."

...

Yujing Terrace, located at the highest point of Liyue Harbor, is crowded with people every day. Some people come to pray for wealth in front of the Geo Emperor incense burner, which symbolizes wealth. They burn incense and chant to make themselves feel at ease.

Nearby is a towering and majestic ancient building. This is the Yuehai Pavilion where the highest government of Liyue holds meetings.

This is where Ganyu works.

It's almost time to get off work.

The other secretaries were secretly looking at their boss Ganyu, each of them with a look of disbelief.

"Hey, what's going on? Senior Ganyu is actually checking the time to get off work?"

"And today, for the first time ever, she didn't ask me to give her the documents I hadn't finished reading."

"Packaging my things. No way, getting off work on time?"

"Is this still Senior Ganyu?"

"Did something bad happen that she needs to deal with?"

"Don't be so negative, okay? Maybe you have a date?"

"Dating? Isn't that even more likely? Everyone knows that Ganyu-senpai only cares about work."

"That's because you haven't met the right person yet. It's not impossible that you will meet him/her suddenly on a certain day and at a certain moment."

"Who can tell what fate is?"

Ganyu didn't hear the guys' whispers. After she finished the work at hand, her stomach started to growl.

Thinking of the promise she made to Lin Bai to go back for dinner today, she couldn't help swallowing.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, as long as she ate one more piece of the slightly bitter Qingxin, she would almost be "indifferent" to food.

But this time it was different. The thoughts of "not fat, very light, eat more, very cute, pork belly, beef" were like magic, circling in her mind uncontrollably.

She also seemed to be possessed by a demon and started to keep an eye on the time when she would leave work.

Although she knew she seemed "abnormal", she still couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food:

"Never mind. Food is the most important thing for people. Let's eat first and then come back to work overtime."

When it was time to get off work, she strode out, leaving all the civil servants of Liyue dumbfounded.
