As soon as Su Chen approached, he was grabbed by Paimeng. She put her head next to his face, secretly glanced at Ganyu, and giggled: "So, is your relationship warming up? Haha, you should thank me for being a wise decision maker."
Su Chen shook his head helplessly and responded with a sigh: "Hey, Paimeng, at most you just sensed the atmosphere and then ran away. How come it became a wise decision in your mouth?"
Su Chen felt both helpless and doting on this little friend who had always been by his side. He shook his head and chuckled.
Paimon was obviously dissatisfied. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted her lips, as if to express her disappointment with Su Chen. "Really? You have no gratitude towards kind people!"
She muttered and turned around, only to see Ganyu talking to a well-dressed secretary.
She couldn't help but shout, "Hey, Su Chen, look, Gan Yu seems to be talking to someone."
Hearing the voice, Su Chen walked towards Gan Yu and the secretary curiously. They immediately noticed his approach. The secretary smiled politely and greeted Su Chen: "Good afternoon, Mr. Su Chen."
"You are Huixin from Yuehaiting, right?" Su Chen recognized the daughter of Tianshu Star, and he still remembered her name.
Hui Xin showed a satisfied smile on her face: "I feel honored to be remembered by His Excellency Su Chen."
Su Chen did not pay much attention to Hui Xin's polite smile. He turned to ask Gan Yu with concern: "Gan Yu, what happened here?"
Ganyu's expression seemed a little serious: "Miss Ningguang has summoned the Seven Stars. An important meeting is about to be held. I need to attend."
Su Chen smiled easily, not worried about it: "It turned out to be just a meeting. It sounds very important. We have been walking around for a long time today. Ganyu, you must have a lot of things to do. If I delay you any longer, it will be a bit inappropriate."
He shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Then go ahead, I'll wait here for you to come back."
Paimon listened to their conversation from the side. Although he felt a little dissatisfied, he knew that now was not the time to make trouble.
She stood silently by the side, her small figure looking particularly lonely in the sunlight.
"This meeting may last for quite a long time. I don't know how long I will have to wait for you..." Ganyu said hesitantly.
Su Chen smiled and answered confidently: "Then I will wait for you at Yujingtai, to be more specific, at the entrance of Yuehai Pavilion. Don't worry, no matter how long the meeting lasts, I will wait for you there."
A smile appeared on Gan Yu's face. Her worry seemed to be infected by Su Chen's optimism: "Then I will deal with things as soon as possible. Su Chen, wait for me to come back."
"Life is always unpredictable, just like a boat sailing on a river." Su Chen gave Hui Xin a relaxed smile, as if hinting at his attitude.
Ganyu covered her mouth and chuckled, greeted Huixin politely, then turned and left.
Her silhouette grew longer and longer in the sunset, until finally, her golden eyes gradually disappeared in the twilight.
Su Chen turned to Paimeng and said decisively: "Paimeng, let's go."
"Where are we going?" Paimon asked curiously.
"Let's go to the Hall of All Peoples and prepare some delicious food and drinks for Ganyu so that she can relax after the meeting."
Su Chen answered with a thoughtful look.
Although Paimeng was still a little confused, he nodded and followed Su Chen's footsteps.
They walked along the harbor, the afterglow of the setting sun painting the place a golden color.
As the setting sun gradually bends, its afterglow quietly covers the figure of a girl who has just arrived at the dock.
"Alas, I haven't seen Su Chen all day..." the girl murmured to herself.
Paimeng suddenly shouted excitedly: "Su Chen, look, someone is coming out!"
Under the cover of night, the roof of Yuehai Pavilion was faintly visible in the dim light. Paimeng felt sleepy, but when she saw that figure, she immediately cheered up and hurriedly shook Su Chen's shoulders: "Su Chen, look over there!"
"Be quiet, don't make any noise!" Su Chen pressed his finger to his lips to signal Paimon to keep quiet, and quickly jumped down from the red tile roof, hiding lightly in the shadow of the eaves.
He carefully stuck his head out, revealing only a pair of curious eyes, secretly observing the situation under the pavilion.
"Come to think of it, Ganyu, we've only been apart for one day, and you've already learned how to dress yourself up?" Ningguang raised her eyes slightly with a hint of ridicule in her eyes. Her gaze drifted towards the purple crystal pendant around Ganyu's neck, and she joked in a light tone.
Gan Yu was slightly stunned, then lowered her head shyly: "This is... a gift from a friend."
Ningguang's eyes flashed with surprise. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile on her face was somewhat profound: "Oh? This pendant is indeed special to you. I noticed that you looked at it from time to time during the meeting."
"I'm sorry, Miss Ningguang. I will pay more attention next time."
Ganyu's voice was apologetic.
Ningguang shook her head and responded with a smile: "It's okay. In fact, I also want to have a pendant like yours. It's really exquisite."
"Ms. Ningguang, thank you for the compliment." Ganyu unconsciously covered the chain, placed her right hand lightly on her heart, and spoke in a low voice.
Ningguang stopped joking and turned serious: "Okay, no more jokes, about..."
Su Chen temporarily withdrew his attention from their conversation, his eyes moved forward, and observed six figures walking slowly in the center of the pavilion.
Although their body shapes were different, Su Chen recognized the leader Keqing at a glance. Her iconic image allowed him to immediately recognize the identities of these people.
Su Chen pondered in his heart, watching Ning Guang walk away quietly, until her figure disappeared from the end of his sight. He gently picked up the sandalwood box beside him and flew down from the pavilion lightly.
Meanwhile, Ganyu had just finished a meeting full of intrigue and strategy.
She patted her chest gently, took a deep breath, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the purple crystal pendant around her neck.
She smiled slightly, feeling a little comforted: "Huh... the chain is still there."
"Ganyu!" Su Chen's voice suddenly sounded.
"I'm here!" Ganyu quickly put down the chain and responded instinctively. She turned around slowly and saw Su Chen standing not far away, waving at her with a smile.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ganyu's eyes. She walked towards Su Chen with light steps, the expression on her face revealing gentleness and relief.
There was a smile in the corner of Su Chen's eyes, and he was obviously happy to see Ganyu again.
The two people's eyes met in the air, conveying each other's emotions and tacit understanding in silence.
The surrounding scenery seemed to pause for this moment, leaving only the tranquility and understanding between them.
"Ganyu, good evening!" Su Chen greeted warmly.
Paimon also joined in excitedly: "Yes, Ganyu, good night~!"
Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a familiar and reassuring atmosphere.
She responded softly, with a warm smile on her face, "Good evening, both of you."
Paimon chuckled, "Hey, we came all the way here to bring you some delicious food!"
Infected by Ganyu's gentle tone, Paimeng took a bag of food in a wooden box from Su Chen and handed it to Ganyu, saying with a smile: "Su Chen and I took a lot of effort to pick these at Wanmin Hall. Come and try them and see how they are."
Su Chen complained softly: "Actually, what Paimeng ordered was what she wanted to eat..."
He decided to ignore Paimon's tricks and said to Ganyu with a smile:
"After such a long meeting, you must feel tired. Have some soup. This is Xiangling's special 'Qinglu Soup', which also contains your favorite Qingxin."
Gan Yu originally wanted to decline, but after seeing Su Chen's careful preparation, she took the food box and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite. There are so many people coming and going outside, let's go inside and talk."
Although she had always been reserved about midnight snacks due to some past that she didn't want to mention, at this moment, on this beautiful night, she did have reliable companions in front of her, which made Ganyu feel particularly happy.
Su Chen nodded in agreement.
He and Paimon walked in front and were the first to enter the Moon Sea Pavilion, while Ganyu followed closely behind.
Although there were few stars at night and the lights seemed a little dim, in her eyes, everything seemed to become clear.
In contrast, Yue Haiting, who had company, seemed to feel a little warmer on this night that was no different from any other.
Gan Yu thought about this secretly, and a smile rose unconsciously on her lips. She gently closed the door, thinking that such a night might indeed become more cozy with someone's company.
It was already late at night, and only a few soft warm yellow lights were lit in the booth, which just happened to illuminate a desk in a corner of the office area.
Su Chen carefully moved the scattered bamboo slips and documents aside, then solemnly placed the wooden box he brought on the table.
"This is the dew soup, and these are the nectar pancakes, and this is the mixed vegetable dish..."
Su Chen put down the food while introducing it to Ganyu.
He turned his head and found that Ganyu was staring intently at the food on the table, and seemed to have little interest in what he was talking about.
He noticed the curiosity and anticipation in Ganyu's eyes, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, knowing that she was very interested in these delicacies.
"Ganyu, did you hear that?" Su Chen called gently.
Gan Yu's reaction was a little slow, "Ah, ah, I'm here!" She suddenly came to her senses, and a glimmer of desire flashed in her eyes. However, realizing her own gaffe, she quickly stepped back and waved her hands: "It's okay, it's okay... Su Chen, tonight's supper is really tempting, but..."
Her eyes were unconsciously attracted by the delicious food on the table, as if an invisible hand was luring her into the abyss of desire. She swallowed hard, trying to divert her eyes, and said hesitantly: "It's late at night, it's not good to eat too much, otherwise I will..."
"What will happen? Ganyu, if you don't eat it, I will eat all of them! I've been craving for it for a long time~" Paimon's eyes flashed, and he almost reached out to take the food, but was caught by Su Chen in time.
"Stop it, kid. You don't understand adult matters." Su Chen said half-jokingly.
"Who is the kid! You don't look much older than me, right?" Paimon retorted.
"Oh? Want to compete, kid?" Su Chen said provocatively.
Paimeng said angrily: "Su Chen! You you you! Humph, I have to give you an ugly nickname!"
She thought to herself, if she didn't need the help of this yellow-haired boy, she would have taught him a lesson long ago.
But now, she could only jump up angrily and fly away to somewhere unknown.
Su Chen's gaze returned to Ganyu. Although he knew what Ganyu was thinking, he suppressed his inner smile, picked up a box of clear dew soup, and gently handed it to her: "Ganyu, this is specially prepared for you. For my kindness, you have to try it, right?"
Ganyu's eyes flickered with hesitation, but it was obvious that "it's not advisable to eat too much at night" was just an excuse. Su Chen understood that Ganyu just didn't want to show up again.
He continued to induce, "Ganyu, you work so hard every day, and you had such a long meeting today, how about relaxing for a while? I personally helped Xiangling pick many natural herbs and spiritual fruits for this Qinglu soup, which is very beneficial to your body."
……
Chapter 243: Staying at Ganyu's House; Ganyu's Special Gift
After hearing Su Chen's words, Ganyu's posture obviously relaxed, and her eyes became more eager as she stared at the Qinglu Soup.
Seeing this, Su Chen stepped up to persuade Gan Yu, walked forward, held Gan Yu's hand and said, "The water for this soup was obtained by me from the stream near the cave of Master Liuyun. It is said that the water there gathers the essence of heaven and earth. Although it looks ordinary, it actually contains a fresh fragrance."
Ganyu listened to Su Chen's description of the spiritual water from heaven and earth and the spiritual fruits of plants and plants. As a vegetarian, the temptation in her heart became increasingly difficult to resist.
After a moment's hesitation, she finally whispered, "But..."
Su Chen felt a little helpless, but decided to use his last trump card: "Ganyu, we have walked for such a long time today, you must be hungry, right?"
Ganyu's face suddenly turned red, and her stomach made a slight gurgling sound at an inopportune time, making her face even more shy.
"So, Ganyu, come and try it?" Su Chen encouraged.
Ganyu agreed shyly: "Well, then I'll eat a little..."
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled and said, "Great! Sit down and enjoy!"
"No need to be so exaggerated..."
Yu lowered her head slightly, the blush on her face hidden by her hanging sea-blue hair.
She finally put aside her worries and began to taste the delicious food.
Su Chen sat quietly aside, watching Ganyu's initial cautious attempts and gradually faster eating movements, with a gratified smile on his face.
He felt that the air around him seemed to be filled with some kind of emotion. His vision became warm like pink mist. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and he felt the sweetness.
Time passed unknowingly, and the scene on the desk amazed Su Chen.
He originally thought that it would take at least three people a long time to finish all the food, but in Ganyu's hands, all the food was cleared out in just a quarter of an hour.
Gan Yu's breathing gradually slowed down, and she elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin, enjoying this rare gourmet meal. Her usual meals were always quick and simple, just to meet the basic needs of the body, but she had never enjoyed it as much as she did tonight.
Exhaling a deep breath of satisfaction, Ganyu felt more relaxed than ever before.
But when she gently opened her eyes and saw Su Chen's surprised face, Gan Yu instantly realized that something was wrong. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she hurriedly explained: "Su Chen, this is not what you think, I just..."
Su Chen hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Don't worry, Ganyu, I'm very happy to see you eating so happily. It's okay to eat more. After all, our Ganyu is naturally beautiful, so it won't be a problem if she eats more~"
Gan Yu's cheeks turned even redder, and she responded somewhat unhappily: "Su Chen, stop making fun of girls' weight!"
Su Chen clasped his hands together and apologized quickly: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry~"
At this moment, Ganyu was like a shy girl. Although she was eating delicacies from the world, she still maintained her elegant temperament.
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but the joy on his face gradually became heavy. He hesitated and asked: "Ganyu, can I ask you a question? If it involves confidential information, you don't have to answer it."
"Su Chen, just tell me what you want to say. I will listen."
Ganyu responded gently.
"That's great... I just want to know, what is the topic of today's meeting? Seeing the seven stars gathered together, and their expressions are all serious, it makes people curious."
Gan Yu's expression became complicated, and she whispered, "I was just planning to talk to you about this matter..."
Ganyu arranged her handkerchief, then sat upright, looked at Su Chen firmly, and asked seriously: "Su Chen, when you were traveling around Liyue, have you ever been to a place called?"
