I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

Su Chen blinked, looking a little helpless. He scratched the back of his head, smiling with a hint of embarrassment: "This is... Sister Ying said she wanted to buy some fish, so I came with her. Could it be that Keqing is also...?" There was a hint of hesitation in his words, as if he was testing something.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Keqing here to buy fish too?"

"Hmph," a girl next to her, Keqing, said with a smug smile, "I originally said I wanted to meet you. I heard that you were 'not in good health', so I wanted to make some fish for you to replenish your body."

Su Chen's heart warmed when he heard this. He felt grateful when he thought that Keqing came out of concern. But when he re-examined the situation, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Speaking of which, Paimon..." He whispered to his companion beside him, a hint of nervousness in his expression, "Do you feel that this situation seems... a little bad?"

Paimon was silent for a while, then nodded heavily with a serious look in his eyes. Then they both turned over there, their eyes focused on the two girls.

"Keqing, why are you here?" Su Chen's voice was filled with curiosity and surprise.

Yingmei's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes seemed to read. She tilted her head slightly, her smile was sunny and friendly, and she looked very harmless. Seeing her like this, Keqing naturally thought that Yingmei just wanted to express her friendliness, so she nodded, her voice gentle but firm: "I heard that Su Chen has not been in good health recently, so I wanted to buy some fish for him. But now it seems..."

She paused and turned her gaze to Su Chen. At one glance, cold sweat broke out on Su Chen's forehead.

Yingmei quickly interrupted with a hint of pride in her voice: "Thanks to my careful care over the past few days, Brother Chen recovered so quickly." As she spoke, she deliberately stood in front of Keqing to prevent her from seeing Su Chen again, decisively protecting the lie she had woven.

Yingmei raised her head and proudly put her hands on her hips, as if she was claiming her territory.

"So that's how it is... Thank you for your hard work, I have to thank you." Keqing's voice was soft, with a sincere smile on her face, and she felt relieved in her heart.

Yingmei saw that Keqing did not have any extreme reaction, but instead smiled at her in such a friendly way, and her plan was immediately disrupted. She gritted her teeth unwillingly, realizing the difficulty of her rival.

Yingmei sneered in her heart, and a hint of firmness and determination flashed in her eyes, just like the princess in the fairy tale, no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would always be reunited with the prince in the end.

So, she walked to Su Chen without hesitation, grabbed his hand decisively, and led him to the other side.

"Wait, Sister Ying, are we leaving now?" Su Chen felt a little unprepared. He staggered a few steps and asked hurriedly.

Yingmei stopped, turned her head, and smiled as if she was hiding a secret: "Brother Chen... you must be hungry, right?" Although her tone was gentle, Su Chen could feel an indescribable sense of oppression from it.

While Su Chen was hesitating, Keqing had already walked up to them quickly, frowned slightly, and asked, "You two, are you leaving now? Su Chen, now that you have recovered, come and work with me this afternoon. Thanks to the plan you provided earlier, it can now be implemented smoothly."

Su Chen's eyes lit up and he was ecstatic: "Really?! That's great!" He originally just wanted to give Keqing some advice, but he didn't expect that his suggestion would be adopted. His tone was full of recognition and joy.

A slight blush appeared on Keqing's face. She coughed twice, trying to hide her emotions: "Well, so let's come and see it this afternoon. If it's you... ahem, let's finish today's work today, and we can officially start today." There was a hint of shyness and anticipation in her words.

"Of course I will..." Before Su Chen could finish his words, he felt a suffocating chill approaching him.

"Brother Chen... aren't you going to accompany Yingmei? Didn't you say before that you wanted to eat the food Yingmei cooks... why are you saying that now..." Yingmei's voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction and loss.

"It doesn't count, does it?" Yingmei's voice was dry and cold. Her little face looked unusually gloomy, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

With a sound, Su Chen felt his heart tighten. His intuition told him that if he didn't go to accompany Yingmei, there might be bad consequences.

"Well, Su Chen, do you have an appointment with your sister?" Keqing's voice was filled with confusion and curiosity.

Su Chen turned his head awkwardly, pointed at the small bag in Yingmei's hand, and explained: "I just made an appointment with Yingmei. She wants to cook some dishes by herself. Look, the ingredients are ready."

"Oh... you want to eat seafood?" Keqing's gaze fell on the bag in Yingmei's hand, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

She thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she suggested, "In that case, there's no need to make Sister Ying work so hard. There's a Xinyuexuan in Liyue that specializes in seafood, and the taste there is absolutely first-rate. If you want to taste the flavor of the sea, it's the best choice."

Keqing paused, her eyes flashing with deep meaning, and said to Su Chen with a smile: "Besides, your body is just fine, so this meal is a reward for your hard work over the past month."

At this moment, behind Keqing is the vast ocean. Her laughter seems to dim the waves on the sea surface, and the whole world seems to have lost its color in her smile.

The waves rose up under the guidance of the sea breeze, and the light of the waves was like silver stardust jumping in the clear sky, falling beside the purple figure. Facing Keqing's gentle smile, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then slowly came back to his senses, nodded, and said with a hint of gentleness in his voice: "Then let's do as you say, Yingmei, you come too."

He turned around and gave Yingmei an apologetic smile. Seeing this, Yingmei could only snort unwillingly and said reluctantly: "Since Brother Chen has said so, hum... If the food there is not as delicious as what I cook, I will be angry."

"Don't worry, I will definitely make you satisfied." Keqing responded with a smile.

Then she turned to the people behind her and waved, "Come on, I'll lead the way, everyone follow."

"Wuhu~ I can eat delicious food again~" Paimeng flew to Keqing's side almost instantly, occupying a large space next to her. This scene made Su Chen feel unhappy. He quickly took a few steps forward, skillfully separated Paimeng and Keqing, and took their place.

"All you do all day long is eat. What else can you do besides eating?" Su Chen said in a joking tone.

"Hmph, Su Chen, how dare you talk about me!" Paimeng retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, but it's true. You have to eat more so that I can have enough to eat when I go camping in the wild next time." Su Chen continued to tease.

"I'm not emergency food!" Paimon couldn't help but retort.

"Okay, okay, Su Chen, stop bullying Paimeng. She has been working hard these days." Keqing looked at the two people bickering and couldn't help but smile and patted Su Chen's shoulder.

"Okay, for Keqing's sake, I won't argue with you." Su Chen said with a smile.

"You act as if I really want to care about you!" Paimon still muttered.

Just as the group was walking further and further away, Yingmei suddenly realized that she was left behind, and she stood there looking at their backs angrily.

Chapter 210 Shopping with Keqing Yingmei

The sun shines down from the blue sky, and the waves dance with the sea breeze, as if scattering a piece of silver stardust in the air.

Su Chen was walking in the bright sunshine. On one side was Yingmei, who was still sulking, with her arms folded and a slightly raised mouth. On the other side was Paimeng, who was staring at the street food stall.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Chen shook his head gently, looked back at Keqing with a gentle smile in helplessness.

The sun cast a warm glow on Keqing's beautiful face, making her look even more charming. Su Chen's eyes could not help but stay on her, revealing deep appreciation.

Feeling Su Chen's gaze, Keqing turned her head, her eyes mixed with a hint of curiosity and subtle nervousness. "Su Chen, is there something wrong with my face?" Her voice was a little uneasy, and her cheeks were slightly red.

Realizing that his gaze might be too direct, Su Chen also felt a little embarrassed. His face turned slightly red, and he coughed twice. Then he turned his head and smiled shyly: "Ah... nothing, I just think... you are particularly beautiful today."

Hearing this, Keqing's cheeks instantly flushed lightly. She lowered her head and shyly stopped talking.

Such thoughts arose deep in Su Chen's heart, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and deep tenderness appeared in his eyes.

They continued walking along the coastal path. Everything around them seemed to become dim at this moment, and only Keqing's existence was so dazzling.

Coming to Xinyuexuan, the leader of Liyue's food industry, the afternoon sun makes it look a little ordinary, but this does not hide its status in Liyue's seafood ingredients industry. As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, Keqing's choice of this place is certainly not wrong.

In the private room on the third floor of Xinyuexuan, Keqing handed Su Chen the menu with a smile: "Su Chen, take a look at what you want to eat."

As soon as he entered here, Su Chen was shocked by the extremely luxurious decoration in front of him, so much so that when he was looking at the menu in his hand, which was embroidered with golden sharks and silver whales, his hands were shaking slightly.

[What the hell? A dish costs tens of thousands of Mora, and there are also dishes that cost over a hundred thousand?! Let me see the cheapest one… 7,999? Why don’t you go grab it!]

[Your place is a restaurant in another world, right? The ingredients you use are the most precious and freshest. If not, what qualifications do you have to sell it at such a high price? ! ! ]

He knew that this amount of money was nothing to his own small treasury, but he couldn't be treated like a big injustice and be slaughtered. Just when the boy was hesitating, Yingmei asked in a strange tone:

"Brother Chen, what's the matter? Don't you have any dishes you like? So we should..."

"Sister Ying, let Su Chen decide for himself."

Keqing smiled at Yingmei, blocking her idea of ​​taking Su Chen away. Keqing then turned her eyes and smiled at Su Chen:

"Su Chen, just order whatever you want to eat. Don't worry too much about me."

"I see."

Taking a deep breath, he tried hard to recall his memories of reading the guide and information before. When he opened his eyes again, Su Chen had already made a decision in his heart.

“So… although I don’t know where this news came from, I’m really happy to hear you say that.” There was a hint of tenderness in Keqing’s voice, and a barely perceptible smile in the corners of her eyes.

Although she was thinking in her heart, she couldn't hide the joyful smile on her face. Then, Keqing tapped the table lightly with her fingers, as if imitating the throbbing of her heart, trying not to appear too shy.

"Okay, Ying, come on, even though it's not yet half past three, let's have tea first~" Paimon comforted the stiff Ying, gently patting her soft back and handing her a cup of tea.

"Thank you..." Ying took the teacup, looking a little confused. The clear tea reflected her frustrated face.

She raised her eyes slightly and saw Su Chen and Keqing talking happily. She felt more jealous and her hand holding the teacup began to tighten.

She relaxed her grip slightly, gave the teacup in her hand a complicated look, then drank most of it in one gulp.

Putting down the teacup, Ying's golden eyes were filled with determination and seriousness.

About forty minutes later.

"Dear distinguished guests, except for the Xian Tiao Qiang which takes some time to prepare, all other dishes are ready. Please enjoy your meal." The waitress carefully placed five beautifully decorated white porcelain jade flower plates on the dining table, then bowed slightly and said respectfully.

"Well, thank you." Keqing nodded gently, with a hint of respect in her tone.

These words made the waitress look a little surprised, as if she had received a great surprise.

He raised his head and wanted to say something, but seeing that Keqing had turned her head away, the waitress could only respond with a helpless but respectful smile. He tiptoed gently and left quietly.

"Okay everyone, although there are not many dishes, please enjoy them slowly." There was an atmosphere of making guests feel at home in Keqing's words.

"Great, I can't wait!" Paimon shouted excitedly, her little cloak fluttering gently in the air, as if she was ready to plunge into the ocean of delicious food.

She happily stretched out her chopsticks and was about to pick up a tempting shrimp ball. However, just as her chopsticks were about to touch the shrimp ball, it suddenly disappeared. Paimeng looked up in confusion and found that the shrimp ball originally placed in front of her had been cleverly moved in front of Keqing by Su Chen.

"You should eat more so that you will have energy for work in the afternoon." Su Chen's tone was gentle and his eyes were full of concern.

"Eh? Actually, you don't have to take extra care of me. This dinner is meant to welcome you. You should eat more." Keqing responded slightly embarrassedly.

"No, after being with you for such a long time, I know that you usually eat very simply. Now you finally have the chance to eat some delicious food, how can you miss it? Besides, isn't this exactly the taste you like? For my sake, please eat more." Su Chen insisted, pushing the plate towards Keqing again, his eyes full of unrefusable tenderness.

"Is that so... Then I won't be polite." Keqing said softly with a faint smile on her lips.

In fact, as soon as the dishes were served, Keqing's eyes were always on the three plates of golden shrimp balls. They were carefully placed in the center of the hexagonal plate. The center of each shrimp ball was decorated with a wooden rock dragon symbolizing the Rock King, which was particularly eye-catching.

Keqing was secretly calculating in her mind, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly. She picked up the chopsticks gracefully, picked up a piece of shrimp ball lightly and put it into her mouth.

The golden shell is extremely crispy. As soon as you bite it, the rich gravy will seep out along the shrimp.

The shrimp meat is just the right amount of tenderness, and it bounces on your gums with a light bite. Then, the soup inside blends with the soft mashed potatoes, releasing an amazing delicious taste.

Keqing narrowed her eyes slightly, with an intoxicated smile on her lips. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the three people in front of her were staring at her.

She suddenly realized that she had revealed her obsession with food in front of everyone, and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she whispered, "Why, why are you all looking at me? If you don't move your chopsticks, I'm going to start eating heartily, okay?"

"Haha...it's nothing actually. I just think that the way you eat, Aqing, is so cute." Su Chen touched the back of his head, seemingly unaware that his words directly revealed his inner thoughts.

[Ah, Aqing? ]

Su Chen's address surprised Keqing. Her eyes widened in surprise. Following Keqing's gaze, the other two also turned to Su Chen at the same time.

Su Chen realized that everyone's eyes were on him again, and he wanted to give himself a few loud slaps.

"Ahem... Okay, okay, Ying and Paimon, stop looking at me and eat quickly." Su Chen hurriedly tried to change the subject, his tone sounding a little hurried.

"Hmph, you didn't let me eat just now, and now... wait, Ying, what's wrong with you?" Paimon was about to enjoy a tempting shrimp ball, and turned around to call Ying to join him, but found that Ying's face was full of anger. She was biting the chopsticks so hard that Paimon saw several teeth marks on the tip of the chopsticks.

But Ying seemed to be completely unaware of Paimon's cry. Her attention was completely attracted by Su Chen and Keqing, whose emotions were subtle and whose cheeks were slightly red. Everything else seemed to be ignored by her.

[Keqing, the dignified Yuhengxing Keqing, you really should not be underestimated. You made Brother Chen fall into an obsession with you, and he almost lost his mind. ]

Ying thought secretly in her heart, and a challenging smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hmph, now it's my turn as the younger sister to take advantage!" she said to herself firmly.

As she thought about this, the chopsticks in her hand seemed to become less heavy. She skillfully picked up a piece of shiny golden crab meat, carefully separated the crab roe, and gently put it to Su Chen's mouth.

There was a sly glint in her eyes, and a gentle smile on her lips: "Brother Chen, you've worked hard today, try this crab."

Su Chen was still thinking about how to break the awkward silence, but he didn't notice the crab roe in Ying's hand and ate it inadvertently.

"Wait, wasn't Ying using these chopsticks just now..." Paimon, who had been observing from the side, couldn't help scratching his little head, his face full of confusion.

In fact, Ying did bite the chopsticks for quite a while just now.

Ying was secretly delighted. Seeing that Su Chen not only did not resist at all, but swallowed the food she handed to him naturally, she could hardly control her inner ecstasy and almost jumped up to celebrate her victory.

"Ahem, I can't do this. I have to be reserved in front of Brother Chen..." She coughed twice secretly, but her eyes unconsciously showed joy. She smiled slightly, as if showing off her achievements to Keqing.

Sure enough, when Ying saw a hint of disappointment in Keqing's eyes, a sense of pride surged in his heart.

As a younger sister, she has an incomparable advantage. She can ignore all external factors and get as close to her beloved brother as she pleases.

Just as Ying was immersed in her own pride, Su Chen also realized that he had accepted the food fed by his sister in front of Keqing. His face flushed and he said awkwardly: "I'm sorry Keqing, I made you laugh..."

Keqing chuckled and responded: "What's the big deal? Remember that time when I fed you medicine, you ate it with a clear conscience."

As she spoke, the corners of Keqing's mouth curled up into a distant smile, which contained a hint of indifference and a bit of carelessness. Her eyes flickered with an elusive light, as if the earth-shaking secret that she had just accidentally revealed was just a trivial game for her.

Ying's eyes were wide open, looking shocked and unbelievable. She turned her head to look at Su Chen, and saw that the boy's cheeks were flushed with shyness, like the rising sun.

At this moment, Ying finally realized that what Keqing said was the absolute truth.

It turned out that in the previous inadvertent moment, Keqing had secretly fed her beloved brother Chen many delicious dishes.

Ying's mood was like the surging waves. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner fluctuations. She gently covered the tears in the corners of her eyes with her hands, trying to temporarily escape this sudden emotional impact.

She casually picked up the teacup and was about to taste the refreshing tea fragrance when Su Chen's relaxed and cheerful voice suddenly rang in her ears -

"Ha...yes, and that time we grilled fish...haha..."
