Genshin Impact: Ningguang is still a pitiful little thing, I invested in her.

The main reason was to express gratitude to Fang Xun and Taro Maru for saving his life.

Secondly, Amber and Fang Xun's child were playing together so well that they didn't want to be separated.

Uncle An then invited everyone to his home for dinner.

In his words, it's lively with lots of people.

As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Jin and the Eighth Divine Child politely declined on the spot.

First, Yae no Miko gently shook her head, then said somewhat lazily, "I'm not hungry yet, you guys go and eat."

"I plan to take a shower and get some rest first."

Yae no Miko wasn't particularly interested in the food in Mondstadt.

After a long and tiring journey, she longed to lie down on a soft bed and rest.

Gan Yu, who was standing next to him, said with some concern, "Divine Child, you can't skip dinner; it's bad for your stomach."

"It's okay to skip a meal once in a while," Yae no Miko smiled.

"Besides, if I'm really hungry, Mr. Fang Xun... I mean, Mr. Fang Xun would definitely buy me a late-night snack, right?"

Yu Jin, who was standing next to her, laughed and joked, "I'm not going to have any late-night snacks. I'm going straight back to my room to rest."

Fang Xun: ? ? ?

So you're going to start driving at the drop of a hat, huh?

Not sure, check again.

Both Yae no Miko and Yujin had different reasons for declining, but in reality, they both knew the principle of not accepting rewards without merit.

Uncle An's thanks were also for Fang Xun's sake, so it was best for the two of them not to join in the fun.

On the other hand, Wendy had no such psychological burden and didn't feel bad about getting a free meal at all.

Furthermore, Wendy felt that she had also contributed her share.

I kicked the ruins guard a few times earlier, that counts as exerting force... I guess so?

Although Wendy was simply trying to get revenge for her three bottles of dandelion wine at the time.

But looking back now, it was all to vent Amber's grandfather's anger, so having a meal together was perfectly reasonable, right?

That's right, that's it.

Wendy joined the dinner party with a cheerful smile; he had been itching to start drinking.

Chapter 312 There are advantages to being simple-minded.

"Brother Fang Xun and everyone, Amber's house is just ahead."

"If you want to play with Amber in the future, you can come to my house."

Little Amber stood on the narrow railing, her body swaying from side to side, stretching out her hands to maintain her balance.

The little one looked very happy, his clear and bright eyes sparkling with joy.

Although Amber has made many friends, this is the first time she has brought a friend home.

Because Amber's grandfather looked fierce, many children were afraid to approach him.

But only Amber knew in her heart that her grandfather, though he seemed difficult to get along with, was actually a very kind old man.

When he had nothing to do, my grandfather would feed stray cats and dogs.

They would also cultivate a small vegetable garden behind the house, occasionally planting vegetables and such.

However, no matter how hard Amber tried to explain, all her explanations were ineffective when her friends saw Uncle Amber's fierce face.

So Amber was very happy that a group of people could come to her home as guests.

...

According to Amber, her grandfather lived on the first floor, and she lived on the second floor.

The house wasn't big, but it was perfectly adequate for the grandfather and grandson.

Upon entering Amber's house, Fang Xun began to take a closer look.

The first thing that catches the eye is two rows of meat hanging from the roof.

It is estimated that Amber's grandfather had a hunting habit, and there was usually too much meat to eat, so he dried it and hung it on the roof beams.

As soon as you enter the house, you can smell the aroma of meat.

Fang Xun pointed to the animal meat on the roof and said jokingly, "My little guys like to eat meat, and now they've all become little chubby balls."

"I'm planning to lose weight with them after the Flower Festival."

"Uncle An, put these dried meats away, so the little ones won't covet them."

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Xiao Ningguang pouted and explained, "Brother Fang Xun, we haven't been eating much meat lately, so we haven't gained weight."

Linghua nodded in agreement: "Yes, we're not fat at all, you can see for yourself."

Looking at the little ones' serious expressions, Fang Xun smiled and said, "Aren't you fat? Then why do I feel like you're getting heavier and heavier in my heart?"

Fang Xun's casual joke put the little ones at ease, preventing them from worrying about gaining weight, which made them very happy.

Let's put this topic to the end.

Amber's grandfather received Fang Xun's message and nodded silently.

"Then I'll put these dried meats away and pick some vegetables to eat tonight."

Uncle An was very efficient; he quickly took all the dried meat hanging from the rafters down.

In an instant, the aroma of meat in the air disappeared.

The little ones stared intently as the dried meat was taken away.

Actually, they were interested in dried meat. The dried meat looked brightly colored and smelled so good that it made them hungry.

But when Fang Xun said they had gained weight, the little ones got angry and refused to think about it anymore.

Fine, I won't eat it then! Humph!

After that, Uncle An let Fang Xun and his group rest in the house for a while, while he took An Bo to pick some vegetables.

Next to Amber's house is a cultivated farmland. Uncle Amber usually grows some melons and fruits when he has nothing to do, which makes it convenient to pick vegetables.

On the way to the farmland, Amber said with some confusion, "I see that Ningguang and the others are very thin, not fat at all. Why did Brother Fangxun say that they need to lose weight?"

“Those children are indeed not fat, but Fang Xun’s consideration is not actually about them.”

"Not them?"

Uncle An nodded: "As far as I know, Gan Yu doesn't eat meat, and she can't even stand the sight of meat."

“The aroma of our dried meat is too strong, filling the whole house. For Gan Yu, who only eats vegetarian food, it’s a kind of torture.”

"Fang Xun must have noticed this, which is why he wanted us to take the dried meat away, and to say it in a joking way to make the atmosphere less awkward."

Upon hearing his grandfather's explanation, Amber suddenly understood.

It turns out that Brother Fang Xun not only takes care of the little ones, but also secretly cares about Gan Yu.

And indeed, it was just as my grandfather had said.

If Fang Xun had come up and said directly, "Gan Yu can't stand the smell of this meat, please put the dried meat away,"

That approach is definitely not as effective as saying, "The little ones need to lose weight; don't let them smell meat."

Brother Fang Xun is such an interesting person.

Amber got to know Fang Xun a little better.

At the very least, Fang Xun takes care of people in a subtle and gentle way.

It must be very comfortable to be with him, right?

Soon, it was time to eat.

Uncle An prepared a table full of dishes. If you look closely, half of the dishes are meat and half are vegetables, as if he deliberately maintained a certain balance.

The little ones didn't notice this because, to them, all the dishes looked delicious.

Wendy didn't notice this either, because for him, all he cared about was having alcohol.

As for snacks to go with the drinks, they weren't that important; even a few peanuts would make him enjoy them immensely.

Only Gan Yu and Fang Xun could see Uncle An's good intentions; the people of Liyue are quite particular about this.

Despite being a rough and unassuming man, Amber's grandfather was a very observant person, a true detail-oriented person.

"Let's eat, let's eat, don't be shy, make yourselves at home."

Uncle An chuckled and said to Xiao Ningguang and the others,

Looking at these little kids who were about the same age as Amber, Uncle An felt that his house had become much more lively.

Even his usually fierce face looked unusually friendly at this moment.

After he finished speaking, the children didn't pick up their chopsticks, but instead looked up at Fang Xun.

Only after Fang Xun nodded did they begin to eat.

Immediately afterwards, Amber's grandfather went to the cellar and brought back three bottles of his own homemade wine.

He originally planned to give one bottle each to Wendy and Fang Xun.

However, Fang Xun said that he still had to take care of the child and send Wendy, the alcoholic, home, so he wouldn't drink.

Uncle Ann didn't insist and gave the extra bottle of wine to Wendy.

Wendy was naturally overjoyed and pulled Uncle Ann to drink with her.

Fang Xun, on the other hand, was taking care of the little ones.

For example, when Ayaka's mouth was covered in oil from eating, Fang Xun would take a tissue and gently wipe it away.

When Xiao Hu Tao couldn't peel the shrimp, Fang Xun helped her remove the shells.

At this moment, Fang Xun noticed that Gan Yu got up and ladled out a bowl of vegetable soup.
