Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

"Mr. Zhongli, happy birthday!" The unanimous blessings from Master Hu and his daughter fell into the ears of Mr. Zhongli. He suddenly turned his head and looked over, unable to hold back his brilliant smile.

"Eh...?" Hu Xingzhi, who was standing next to Uncle Hu, and Yunxi, who was standing next to Lin Huan, were a little confused. "Mr. Zhongli's birthday is the same as the Emperor's?"

Mr. Zhongli smiled but said nothing. But Master Hu smiled and nodded. "Yeah, what a coincidence, right? You two little idiots, why don't you go and congratulate Mr. Zhongli!"

Hall Master Hu cursed with a smile.

Therefore, Hu Xingzhi and the Yunxi couple did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhongli and greeted him in unison.

"Thank you, congratulations!" Mr. Zhongli looked at them with a smile on his face, his eyes filled with joy and indulgence that were difficult to conceal.

“Sir, would you like to go out for a walk together? There is nothing to do today anyway. It is a statutory holiday in Liyue. After a busy year, you should relax for a day.” Master Hu stood side by side with Zhongli with his hands behind his back, smiling, looking full of energy.

"In that case..." He looked up and said, "Ms. Ganyu, why don't you come with us? You also want to get together with your friends, right?"

Gan Yu was holding Lin Huan's arm. She was slightly startled when the Emperor called her name unexpectedly, but she still nodded and did not let go of Lin Huan's hand.

The few of them did not go out of the city, but walked along the other side of the mountain path, slowly heading down the mountain towards the old bridge of Chihuyan, and walked all the way to the pier, laughing and chatting all the way.

"Ah Huan."

"Mr. Zhongli, you don't have to be polite to me."

"That's right. I suddenly wanted to drink the green buds newly picked from Chenyu Valley in early spring. I need to trouble Xiao Huan to help me make a trip before the Lantern Festival." Mr. Zhongli said slowly.

"Since the master has given an order, there is no reason not to obey!" Lin Huan jumped forward with his hands behind his back, walked backwards facing them, looking very happy and satisfied.

Yunxi and Ganyu smiled at each other, followed Lin Huan, carefully watching the road for her, and no longer spoke a word. They just accompanied her silently, and everything was said without words.

"Okay, silly girl, be careful and watch the road, don't fall." Zhongli couldn't help laughing. Today's laughter seemed to be more than in the past, in the past years, much more.

It seems... Is this day every year so similar? It is different, and it is indeed different. In the past, when I shuttled among the crowd, only I knew that the emperor was willing to visit incognito and have fun with the people. No one has ever been willing to take the initiative to pull the god on the throne and join the ocean of people's joy. But the father and daughter in front of me are different. Their laughter and joy, facing me, have always been undisguised, straightforward and sincere, trusting and relying on them. After knowing my true identity, they are still as close and frank as before... And Xiao Ganyu, that child, seems to be no longer so restrained in front of me under the influence of Master Hu and his daughter... It seems that at this moment, I am not a god sitting on the throne, not the Rock King Emperor. At this moment, he is just a friend and relative who travels and laughs with them. What they say to him, word by word, is not polite and flattering, but just the care and concern for people close to them, which makes him feel extremely warm and satisfied.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask... Sister Ganyu," Yunxi patted his head and came back to his senses, "Will this year's Lantern Festival be lively?"

"That's right. There are a lot of interesting things this year~ This is a secret that the General Affairs Department won't pass on, but I can secretly reveal a little bit of it!" Ganyu said excitedly.

“Hmm…” Mr. Zhongli smiled but said nothing.

"Well, that's fine too! Let's go watch it together then?"

"By the way...who are the lanterns this year commemorating?"

"Hmm... this year doesn't seem to be commemorating the immortal..." Ganyu frowned slightly and thought carefully, "This year's theme seems to be the Thousand Rock Army?"

"Oh? Interesting!"

"Speaking of which, tonight, sir, would you like to spend the New Year with us?"

"Uncle Hu has already booked Xinyuexuan for lunch. I plan to go to Wangshu Inn in the evening."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. All of you can go!" Mr. Zhongli couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Huan and Mr. Wangshu are going to celebrate the New Year at Wangshu Inn tonight?" Hall Master Hu said with a smile, "Then you can order more snacks for lunch."

"Uncle Hu, this... isn't it a bit expensive? Xinyuexuan is not cheap!" Lin Huan spoke with difficulty after realizing it belatedly.

"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

“Haha, it’s okay.” Master Hu smiled and rubbed Lin Huan’s little head, “Xiao Shangxian is also Ah Huan’s family member!”

“Huh…?” This was what Mr. and Mrs. Hu Xingzhi realized belatedly.
