I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"This is my own decision, because I've seen through Aki Tomoya. You'd better not have anything to do with him anymore, or you'll definitely regret it!"

After all, they had known each other for a while, and Eriri still hoped that Kasumigaoka Utaha would stop dwelling on Aki Tomoya, so she kindly reminded her.

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes, sensing there was more to the story. "Did he do something?"

"That guy..." Eriri still gritted her teeth as she spoke of it, "He sold my identity as an artist to raise money for his game!"

Because they were outside, she referred to the artist, but Kasumigaoka Utaha still understood.

"If that's the case, then Aki-kun really went a bit too far this time."

She frowned, clearly not expecting Aki Tomoya to do such a thing.

If even her childhood sweetheart could betray her, what about herself? She suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Eriri suggested, "So, Kasumigaoka, just listen to me and break up with him as soon as possible."

“Yes, I will confirm this with him.” Kasumigaoka nodded. “But after all, he did help me before, so I will help him finish the game as a way of repaying him.”

Main text: Chapter 177 Little Lily Outside the Door

After Kasumigaoka Utaha left with complicated thoughts, the two did not linger in Toyonosaki.

Despite the curious or surprised looks from those around him, Li Xiao calmly escorted Eriri home.

When they arrived at her doorstep, Eriri stopped acting cute with Li Xiao. She gently slid off his back, carefully straightened her clothes, and then took out her keys to open the door.

Having finally found such an amazing boyfriend, she was planning to introduce Li Xiao directly to her mother.

I wonder what kind of expression Li Xiao's mother will have after she finds out his identity?

Thinking about the pranks her mother usually played on her, Eriri was filled with anticipation.

As if hearing the sound of a door opening, the bedroom door upstairs opened, and a figure stepped out.

"Is Eriri back?"

Sawamura Sayuri has her long hair styled into twin tails like Eriri's, and wears an elegant brown kimono, exuding both the charm of a young woman and the fresh playfulness of a girl.

She slowly descended the stairs, holding onto the railing, and saw Li Xiao standing next to Eriri. She was surprised for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Oh my, who is this handsome young man? It's rare to see you bring friends over to your home now."

She was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she had seen her daughter, Eriri, bring another boy home.

It's worth noting that even Eriri's childhood friend, Tomoya Aki, only visited their house a few times when they were young, and he never came back after their falling out.

"Mom, this is my boyfriend. I brought him to meet you today."

Eriri's voice was slightly shy.

"Boyfriend?" Sayuri Sawamura narrowed her eyes and carefully examined Li Xiao.

"Hello, madam, my name is Li Xiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Finally seeing the little lily he had been longing for, Li Xiao was also a little excited.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was Eriri's sister. If they changed her hair color, they would look exactly alike. And she looks so young; it's hard to believe she's already a mother.

Upon hearing Li Xiao call her "wife," Sayuri Sawamura, with her years of experience, knew that this man named Li Xiao didn't seem like a good person.

However, she didn't show it and still said with a smile, "I really didn't expect my Eriri to be able to find such a handsome boyfriend. This girl is usually willful and stubborn. I thought she would be single for life."

"mom!"

Eriri couldn't bear to see her mother belittling her like that, and cried out in embarrassment and anger.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Sayuri Sawamura reassured Eriri, then turned to ask what Eriri was really concerned about, "So, how long have you two been together?"

Speaking of this, Eriri held up two fingers a little shyly.

"Two months?"

Sawamura Sayuri frowned. Bringing her back in such a short time? How could Eriri be so rash? She hadn't really raised her like this before, had she?

"It's been two days! We just met and got together in the last two days."

Eriri corrected her guess. Although she knew the time was ridiculously short, she didn't want to hide it from her mother.

"Only two days?!"

This time, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't hold back anymore and showed a shocked expression.

They've only been together for two days and she's already brought her home? If she didn't know her daughter so well, she would have thought her daughter had been switched at birth.

"Do you know what you're doing, Eriri?"

Her previously friendly expression vanished, replaced by an unusually serious one.

"Of course I know what I'm doing, Mom, don't worry unnecessarily. Besides, you don't know what Li Xiao is like..."

"I don't care about any of that. Do you think what you're doing is right? You've only known him for two days. What do you know about him before you're already together?"

Before Eriri could finish explaining, Sayuri Sawamura interrupted her.

At this point, Li Xiao could no longer remain silent.

"Madam, I..."

"And you! I don't know how you tricked my daughter, but please leave here."

At this moment, Sawamura Sayuri, fiercely protective of her offspring, possessed terrifyingly high combat power, even joining in the fray against Li Xiao.

However, she was also worried that Li Xiao might do something rash or angry at this moment, so she finally softened her tone and said:

"If what you want is money, I can give you five million yen, but please don't associate with Eriri anymore."

Li Xiao sighed and said somewhat helplessly, "Madam, you've really misunderstood. I didn't seduce Eriri."

He didn't want to explain too much, so he simply lifted her up with a gust of wind and placed her on the sofa.

This whole sequence of events completely baffled Sayuri Sawamura, leaving her sitting blankly on the sofa.

After regaining her senses, she looked up at the two of them and asked incredulously, "What...what's going on?"

"Hmph~" Eriri said smugly, "Li Xiao is a god!"

“Gods? Could it be…” Sayuri Sawamura’s eye twitched, as if she suddenly remembered something.

Eriri replied proudly, "That's right~ He's the god you told me about before, Mom!"

Upon hearing this news, Sayuri Sawamura felt a sense of suffocation.

If Eriri is telling the truth, will Li Xiao hold a grudge against her for saying those things to him?

She suddenly felt a little scared.

She quickly stood up from the sofa and apologized to Li Xiao:

"Um... Sir, I misunderstood you just now, I'm very sorry."

"It's alright, ignorance is no excuse~"

Li Xiao didn't mind such a small matter; what he cared about now was how to get Xiao Baihe as well.

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Xiao Baihe breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated before asking, "What exactly is the relationship between you and my daughter...?"

She just couldn't understand why her daughter deserved the favor of a deity.

It wasn't that she looked down on her daughter, but Eriri had almost nothing about her that attracted men, except for her pretty face.

She's arrogant and stubborn, a total otaku, and most importantly, she works as a doujinshi artist! Few men would like that kind of job.

If Li Xiao hadn't known all this beforehand, and it was exposed later, wouldn't he feel deceived and then get angry?

At first, she thought that Li Xiao had deceived Eriri, but now it seems that it is very likely that Eriri deceived Li Xiao!

Li Xiao frankly stated, "As you can see, Eriri is now one of my girlfriends."

One of them? Upon hearing this, Xiaobaihe understood that Li Xiao was simply a slut.

"You have other girlfriends? How come I didn't know?!"

Eriri immediately objected upon hearing this.

She hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the thrill of having such an amazing boyfriend before she was suddenly told that her boyfriend actually had other girlfriends?

Seeing how agitated she was, Li Xiao looked puzzled. "Huh? Didn't I tell you?"

Eriri said angrily, "When did you say that?!"

Li Xiao retorted, "Then you know now, don't you? And you should be able to guess from my way of doing things, right?"

After his reminder, Eriri immediately realized what he meant.

Yeah! This guy was so skilled at threatening me at the beginning, it didn't seem like the first time. How come I didn't think of that?

Seeing Eriri's bewildered expression, Sayuri realized her daughter had probably done something foolish again, and, against her conscience, tried to comfort her:

"Eri, for someone of your status, this situation is very... normal. Don't be unreasonable."

"Am I being unreasonable?" Eriri looked at her mother with a face full of questions. "Am I really your daughter?"

But Xiaobaihe ignored her foolish daughter and turned to Li Xiao respectfully, asking, "Sir, have you had dinner yet? Would you like to have a meal at our house?"

Li Xiaoxin readily agreed, "Sure, I was just thinking of trying your cooking, Madam."

"Then please play with Eriri for a while. I'll go downstairs to prepare."

Little Lily made an excuse and quickly slipped into the kitchen to process the shocking news she had heard that day.

Unlike her own daughter, she knew very well what Li Xiao, this deity, represented, so she still felt restrained and nervous when facing him.

After she left, Li Xiao put his arm around Eriri, who was still struggling with her thoughts, and sat her down on the sofa.

"Eri, what are you still thinking about?"

Eriri looked up at him, then snorted.

Li Xiao reached out and pinched her chin, laughing as she said, "I've noticed you're getting a little too arrogant, haven't you? I was thinking that you were quite well-behaved when I was being mean to you before, so why are you throwing a tantrum now?"

"The past is the past, the present is the present! I'm not being threatened by you now. I'm your legitimate girlfriend, so why can't I be a little temperamental?"

Don't let Eriri's cowardly demeanor when threatened by Li Xiao fool you; she can be incredibly willful when it comes to those close to her.
