I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Kiana opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just frowned and held back.

As for Fu Hua and Bronya? They did not comment on this.

Seeing the fear and apprehension in her eyes, Li Xiao couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Then... I'll stay here tonight."

Call ~

Raiden Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! He agreed! Even though it's only for one night, knowing that I can be a reason for him to stay is enough!

"Theresa, then I'll take my leave of you today."

"No problem, no problem, you can stay as long as you want!"

Theresa was very generous; there were plenty of empty rooms at St. Freya, so Li Xiao could stay in any of them.

She directly instructed Fu Hua:

"Fu Hua, please arrange their accommodation for today!"

"Yes, Headmaster."

When it comes to work, Fu Hua has always been someone who does what she's told.

"Is there anything else?"

Theresa asked the crowd again.

Everyone else shook their heads.

"Then you should leave quickly! I still have work to do!"

She was reading a comic book when she was interrupted and was about to continue reading.

Upon hearing this, the group didn't linger and left immediately.

The group followed Fu Hua to a dormitory.

"This dormitory is unoccupied, but it's fully equipped. Li Xiao, you're a boy, so you'll have to live alone. I'll arrange for the other three to stay somewhere else, is that alright?"

"It's okay, you guys go ahead, I'll go inside and take a look, I'll come find you guys to play later."

Raiden Mei carefully memorized the address, and then gently responded to him:

"Then I'll cook today, and we can just have a get-together here."

She was worried that it would be bad if Li Xiao couldn't find their place later.

Moreover, she hasn't been idle these days. For Li Xiao's sake, she has been trying to practice her cooking skills and has been using Kiana to test the dishes, so her cooking ability has improved.

"Then I'll be looking forward to the food you cook, Mei."

This is the Herrscher of Food, I wonder how much of her peak power she can have now?

Raiden Mei, having received a response, happily left.

Kiana, who left with her, looked at Li Xiao with a very unfriendly gaze.

Upon entering the house, Li Xiao looked around and found that a lot of effort had been put into the decoration, giving it a homey feel.

The furniture and household items inside are almost all the best available on the market.

No wonder St. Freya's financial situation is worrying, and she often needs the assistance of the Destiny Headquarters. At least in terms of living conditions, the supplies here are the best.

After observing for a while, Li Xiao lost interest, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and took out a set of clothes from the system space to change.

Then he sat on the sofa, chatting with Su Shi in the chat group while waiting for the others to arrive.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

After saying goodbye to Su Shi, Li Xiao got up and opened the door.

Raiden Mei and the others squeezed through the door carrying large and small bags of groceries.

"Wow, so much! Can we finish it all?"

Kiana patted her chest, her face full of pride.

"Don't worry! No matter how much Mei makes, I can eat it all!"

"Idiot! Get out of the way! There are people behind you!"

Bronya scolded Kiana for blocking the doorway.

Once everyone had entered, he discovered that Himeko and Theresa had also come.

"Hey, Li Xiao, we're here to join in the fun, you don't mind, do you?"

Himeko looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind. In fact, it's more lively with more people."

After everyone came in, they sat down on the sofa and chatted while waiting for dinner to be served.

Raiden Mei was the only one busy in the kitchen; the others weren't very good at cooking, and she said she didn't need that many people.

Kiana wanted to help, but she kept making things worse and was eventually kicked out by Raiden Mei, who couldn't stand it anymore.

Raiden Mei didn't keep everyone waiting too long; after about half an hour, she started serving the dishes one after another.

After all the dishes were served, Raiden Mei poured drinks for everyone before speaking:

"Everyone, eat quickly, or it will get cold."

"Great!"

Kiana cheered and prepared to start eating; she had been itching to eat for ages!

But just as she was about to reach for her chopsticks, Theresa grabbed her hand.

Kiana stared at her, completely bewildered.

"Ahem, I think today is your first day at St. Freya Academy, so we should have a toast to celebrate. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, then smiled knowingly and raised their glasses together.

"Cheers!!!" ×7

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed the meal that Raiden Mei had carefully prepared.

While eating, Theresa asked a question.

"Why are they all Eastern dishes? Although they're quite delicious."

Raiden Mei glanced at Li Xiao secretly, then blushed slightly and said:

"Lately, I've been enjoying making Eastern dishes, so these are the ones I've been making."

Li Xiao understood Raiden Mei's feelings and gave her a gentle look.

Raiden Mei's face immediately turned even redder.

Kiana witnessed this and immediately snapped the chopsticks in her hand.

"Li Xiao, try this."

At the dining table, Raiden Mei kept putting food on Li Xiao's plate.

Li Xiao also served her food several times, and anyone could see the change in the atmosphere between them.

Kiana felt that even Mei's cooking didn't taste good anymore. With little appetite, she ended up eating only three bowls of rice.

After finishing their meal, the group, having enjoyed themselves immensely, cleaned up together and then went their separate ways.

But to Li Xiao's surprise, half an hour later, Raiden Mei changed her clothes and returned to the same place.

Looking at Raiden Mei, who seemed to have dressed up carefully, outside the door, Li Xiao seemed to realize something.

When Raiden Mei saw Li Xiao open the door, she immediately threw herself into his arms, then looked up at him with teary eyes and whispered:

"hug me."

Faced with such a situation, Li Xiao naturally couldn't refuse.

He bent down, picked up Raiden Mei, and carried her into his bedroom.

Outside the window, a cloud obscured the newly risen moon, and a faint sobbing sound dissipated into the silent night sky.

The next morning, the two woke up in their messy bed.

Looking at the glaring color on the bed, Raiden Mei remembered what happened last night, and her cheeks flushed again.

She looked at Li Xiao with eyes full of love and spoke softly:

Are you hungry? Shall I make you breakfast?

Li Xiao hugged Raiden Mei's waist, buried his head in her chest, and said in a muffled voice:

"No, I want to sleep in a little longer, and you were tired yesterday too, so you should rest a bit more."

Raiden Mei couldn't refuse him, so she went along with his wishes and they hugged each other for a while, enjoying each other's warmth.

But the two didn't sleep for long. Once they woke up, Li Xiao and Raiden Mei got up together.

"Ha~ Mei, I'll go buy breakfast, you can rest a little longer."

"Ah."

Raiden Mei enjoyed this concern, so she didn't refuse.

After Li Xiao finished tidying up and pushed open the door, she suddenly fell silent.

Kiana had somehow crouched down at his doorway, staring blankly into the distance.

"Kiana, what are you doing?"

"I……"
