In short, for Zhongli, everything has to be the best.

The same applies to desserts.

Watching Zhongli casually buy the best desserts in the teahouse, some passersby who were listening to the storytelling couldn't help but marvel at Zhongli's wealth and extravagance.

But the next second, Zhongli put down his teacup and slowly said, "This time is no different. Send all the bills to the Hall of Rebirth."

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Personal consumption, but the store pays?

As expected of Mr. Zhongli.

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Fang Xun immediately became displeased.

He couldn't afford to waste this opportunity to spend money.

"Mr. Zhongli, I'll pay the bill this time."

"After all, there are three of us here. It would be too much of a shame to ask you to pay for it."

Fang Xun had thought that Zhong Li would make some excuses.

Unexpectedly, Zhongli nodded directly.

"Alright, then Mr. Fang Xun will have to pay for this meal."

Fang Xun: "???"

Zhongli, that sixth brother, really doesn't stand on ceremony.

Just then, Zhongli put down his teacup and slowly said, "I can't let Mr. Fang Xun spend his money for nothing."

"Liyue is a city of contracts, where everything is based on contractual transactions."

“Mr. Fang Xun invited me for tea. In exchange, I can do something for Mr. Fang Xun.”

Zhongli paused, then added, "As long as this matter is within Zhongli's capabilities."

He specifically emphasized that he was acting under the identity of Zhongli.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xun's heart stirred.

Grandpa Zhongli wasn't like he was in the game, eating and drinking for free.

At the very least, he will engage in fair transactions.

However, Fang Xun couldn't think of anything he could ask Zhong Li to do.

Let's talk about it later.

Soon, the teahouse desserts were served.

Xiao Ningguang and Qiqi had never eaten dessert before, let alone the most luxurious dessert in a teahouse.

The two little girls naturally ate with great relish.

Fang Xun said from the side, "Ningguang, you're still in the stage of losing your baby teeth, so you can't eat too many sweets, or you'll get cavities, you know?"

Xiao Ningguang was enjoying her meal when she heard Fang Xun's words...

She could only reluctantly put down the dessert, then pouted, looking pitiful.

Those clear, bright eyes were now brimming with tears, making her look utterly pitiful.

Seeing the little girl's pitiful yet adorable appearance, Fang Xun's heart softened.

"Okay, you can have dessert tonight, but only tonight. You can't have this much in the future."

"And also, remember to brush your teeth when you get back, okay?"

Upon hearing Fang Xun's words, Xiao Ningguang immediately stopped crying and started laughing.

"I heard you, thank you, Brother Fang Xun~"

Watching the two adorable little kids eat desserts, getting them all over their faces and noses...

Fang Xun could only wipe their faces from time to time.

As for Zhongli, he took his leave halfway through the journey, citing other matters.

Fang Xun said that they would like to catch up again in the future.

He also told Zhongli to just come to him if he needed anything.

This made Zhongli take another look at Fang Xun before leaving.

After the two adorable children finished their dessert, Fang Xun led them home.

As Fang Xun passed by Ying'er's mother Yu Jin's inn, he paused slightly.

Because it was so late, Yu Jin's hotel was still open.

To know,

Yu Jin is a wealthy woman who is not short of money at all. She may have opened a hotel to pass the time.

I never stay up late to process check-in for guests.

In the past, Yu Jin would have already closed the door and gone to get her beauty sleep.

The fact that the hotel was still open was somewhat unbelievable to Fang Xun.

Not only that, Fang Xun also noticed that Yu Jin was wearing a purple silk nightgown tonight.

She sat at the shop entrance, leisurely crossing her legs.

The charm of a mature woman is fully displayed at this moment.

Fang Xun and Yu Jin were quite familiar with each other, so he asked, "Sister Yu Jin, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late."

Seeing Fang Xun leading two adorable little kids over, Yu Jin teased, "Little rascal, your big sister's been waiting for you!"

...

Here's the extra chapter I promised.

Everyone get some rest, I can't stay awake any longer, I'm off! Goodnight~~

Chapter 55 A Friend from Inazuma

Fang Xun was surprised to hear Yu Jin's words.

It's already this late, why isn't Yu Jin going to sleep, but instead waiting for him? What does she want to do?

Seeing that Yu Jin looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, Fang Xun realized that Yu Jin probably had something to tell him.

However, the presence of children affected her performance.

Fang Xun instructed Ningguang to take Qiqi back first.

Ningguang nodded obediently and sensibly, knowing that Fang Xun still had things to do.

So she took Qiqi's hand and prepared to take Qiqi back.

Xiao Qiqi, however, remained standing still.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes, as clear and pure as a spring, looking at Fang Xun.

It was as if she was afraid Fang Xun would abandon her.

Seeing this, Fang Xun couldn't help but chuckle. He squatted down, patted Qi Qi's head, and said gently, "Qi Qi, be good. You go back with Ning Guang first."

"I'm going to talk to Aunt Yujin about something, and I'll be home soon. Really, I'm not lying to Qiqi."

Seeing Fang Xun's agreement, the adorable little Qi Qi finally nodded gently.

At the same time, she said in a childish voice, "Okay... Qiqi... wait for Fangxun to come home."

Then Ningguang took Qiqi's hand, and the two adorable children left first to return home.

After the two adorable children left, Fang Xun turned to look at Yu Jin.

"Sister Yujin, why did you wait for me here? What's the matter?"

Yu Jin waved her slender, fair fingers with a palm-leaf fan and said with a light laugh, "Little brother, now that we're neighbors, shouldn't we visit each other more often?"

Fang Xun nodded.

That makes perfect sense; after all, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative.

Yu Jin continued, "And if neighbors want to get along well, they should talk less and say more."

"Little brother, do you understand?"

“Now that my daughter is asleep, I don’t need to take care of her, which gives me some extra time.”

"The night is long, don't you think we could..."

Yu Jin paused, then looked at Fang Xun with a bright smile: "For example, helping me tidy up my room or something?"

"There are some heavy things that we can't move, and we need men to help us."

"I don't trust any other men, so I thought of you."

"Little brother, you wouldn't refuse your sister, would you?"

Fang Xun: "???"

So, all Yu Jin talked about was just trying to get him to move things.

Fang Xun knew that Yu Jin's hotel had hired a female cleaner to do the housekeeping.

It seems that the cleaning lady couldn't move the heavy object, which is why Yu Jin thought of asking Fang Xun for help.

For Yu Jin, asking someone to help move things was simply a matter of asking.

After all, Yu Jin is a hidden rich woman, so she doesn't need to worry about the money for moving things.

However, she didn't look for anyone else, but waited specifically for Fang Xun here.

This has nothing to do with money.

Instead, it was Yu Jin's one-sided trust in Fang Xun.
