I'm a male god in Liyue

"Oh?"

"I asked you to pass on my message to Miss Yanfei last time. I made some desserts this time to thank you."

"No need to be so polite, it's nothing."

"Please accept this small token of my appreciation."

"Well then, thank you very much."

Xia Zhi then took out another food box.

"I was originally planning to send Miss Yanfei a box of pastries as well, to thank her for her help. But she happens to be out, so I'll have to trouble you again, sister."

"Don't worry! I'll pass it on to Yanfei!"

The proprietress nodded and agreed earnestly.

Xia Zhi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had bought a Tanuki doll from this store last time to give to Zhu Zi, so he casually picked up a crane doll from Liyue.

"How many Mora does this cost, sister?"

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's just a cheap little trinket."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. Little brother, come visit me anytime you have time."

"it is good."

As they left the shop, Xia Zhi handed the crane figurine in her hand to Shen He.

"boss?"

"gave it to you."

"Ok?"

"I bought one for Zhu Zi last time, and I bought one for you this time since I'm here, so you won't think I'm being biased when you see it later."

"I won't……"

“Just think of it as an employee benefit.”

"Oh."

Shen He reached out and took the crane doll, feeling a strange sensation in his heart.

Not only because it was the first time she had received a gift from her boss, but also because the little doll in her hand looked a bit like her master.

Small, cute and adorable.

"Boss, are we going to Mingxingzhai?"

"Yes, Master Xingxi even came to our store to show his support on the opening day."

"I remember, but she looked so plain, not at all like a big jewelry boss."

"That's how rich people are."

Zhu Zi was struck again, silently lowered his head, and stared at the food box in his hand without saying a word.

Upon arriving at Mingxingzhai, I saw the owner, Xingxizhai, who wasn't so busy.

"Mr. Xia is here! I was just about to come looking for you!"

"Oh?"

"The auction I mentioned to you before is almost ready and will be held the day after tomorrow."

"The day before Luna?"

"Yes, I think this is the perfect time. These are the auction tickets. I was originally going to send them to your shop, but since you're here now, I'll just give them to you directly."

"Auctions... I'm actually not that interested in them..."

"It's alright, Mr. Xia. If you're busy or don't want to go, you can simply not go. You can keep this ticket as a souvenir; it's my way of thanking you."

"A commemoration... that's fine too."

Xia Zhi reached out and took the auction ticket.

"Mr. Xia, is there something you need from me this time?"

"It's nothing. I just made some snacks today and gave some to a few friends. I'm bringing some here for you to try as well."

"Mr. Xia, you're too kind!"

"The host has tasted so many delicious foods, I hope he won't find them offensive."

"No, no!"

After chatting for a while, Xia Zhi said goodbye and left, and Xing Xi then opened the exquisite food box in her hand.

Inside, rows of beautiful mooncakes were neatly arranged.

"What kind of dessert is this? I don't think I've ever seen it before..."

Xingxi picked up a mooncake with some curiosity, put it in her mouth and took a small bite.

Then, she froze on the spot.

She didn't come to her senses until the waiter outside came in and called her.

"Master, a customer has arrived!"

"Okay, I understand, I'll be right there."

Xingxi put down the mooncake she hadn't finished eating, placed the food box on the table, took two steps out, and then immediately turned back.

No, it's not safe to leave it here; the snacks might get stolen.

Xingxi picked up the food box and went into the inner room. Only after putting the food box in her usual place for hiding jewelry did she finally feel relieved and leave.

Chapter 88 Miss Shen He is so cunning

The three returned to the summer shop and rested for a while.

When it was time for dinner, I took two boxes of mooncakes and went to Wanmintang for dinner.

Xiangling was more cautious this time and locked the box in the cabinet to prevent Guoba from stealing it again.

After dinner, the three of them went for a walk at the harbor, just like the night before. They saw some things they hadn't tried before and decided to go and try them.

This was a completely different pace of life from that in the mountains, and Shen He was a little unaccustomed to it, but he didn't dislike it.

After watching the fireworks at the dock, they returned to the shop. Zhu Zi went to the kitchen to boil water, while Xia Zhi, carrying two boxes of mooncakes, walked out of the shop with Shen He and went to the shop next door.

The hall of rebirth, which had its doors tightly closed during the day, now had lanterns lit under the eaves.

A ferryman stood quietly at the entrance.

Xia Zhi walked over, not engaging in much conversation with the ritual attendant from the Rebirth Hall, but simply handed her the food box and asked her to pass it on to Master Hu.

When it was time to take a shower, Xia Zhi went first.

After Xia Zhi finished showering, he said to the two girls, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so you two should get some rest tonight."

"Got it, boss."

"Ah."

"Shen He, don't worry. The things we do in the shop are all very simple. You'll see Zhu Zi get busy for a while tomorrow and you'll understand."

"Ah."

Xia Zhi nodded and went upstairs.

Zhu Zi looked at Shen He and said, "Miss Shen He, I'd like to take a bath first today, is that alright?"

Shen He didn't care and said indifferently, "Okay."

Zhu Zi was overjoyed and said, "Then I'll go get the clothes."

Shen He watched Zhu Zi run away, wondering why she was suddenly so happy, but she didn't care. She silently went into the bathroom, took out Xia Zhi's clothes that were in the wooden tub in the corner, and put them into the tub.

When Zhu Zi returned with the clothes, she saw Shen He sitting in the back washing the boss's clothes.

???

No, you stole the boss's clothes again!

Zhu Zi walked into the bathroom dejectedly, looking at the empty wooden tub, with only one thought in her mind.

Miss Shen He is so cunning!

Upstairs, in the room.

Xia Zhi summoned the system panel and equipped the special equipment [Helmet of Concealment]. Just like equipping [Wings of Radiance], he automatically mastered a new skill.

You can freely enter a hidden state.
