This magnificent fireworks show lasted for a while, leaving an indelible mark in the night sky, and then slowly calmed down.
Just when Su Chen thought that this wonderful moment had come to an end, suddenly, one sky lantern after another began to rise slowly from every corner of Liyue City, like the brightest stars in the night sky, gently illuminating the earth.
“This is so beautiful…”
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh, his eyes closely following the slowly rising sky lanterns.
Xiangling beside her nodded gently, her voice also full of admiration: "Yes."
A thought suddenly flashed through Su Chen's mind. He recalled the moment when Xiang Ling asked him to close his eyes, and it seemed that she whispered something.
He asked curiously: "Xiangling, when you asked me to close my eyes just now, did you say something?"
This question seemed to catch Xiangling off guard. She was slightly stunned, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
A hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashed across her face for a moment, but soon she relaxed and showed a tolerant smile.
It seems that this is not the best time to express her feelings... Xiangling thought silently in her heart that next time, she would definitely find a more appropriate time to convey her deepest feelings to Su Chen completely.
Most definitely……
………………
Chapter 353 Hu Tao: For Xiangling’s happiness, I have no choice but to make sacrifices!
"Actually, what I wanted to say just now was... Happy New Year!"
Xiangling's voice floated gently in the night breeze, carrying a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
Su Chen was stunned for a moment. It turned out that asking him to close his eyes was just to convey such a simple and warm blessing?
A warm current surged in his heart. Although he had deeper words he wanted to express, when he saw Xiangling's expectant smile, Su Chen felt that perhaps now was not the best time to share his innermost thoughts.
Although it was unclear what Xiangling had experienced, Su Chen could feel that what Xiangling needed at the moment was companionship and understanding, rather than letting her endure more emotional fluctuations.
"Well, Xiangling, happy new year."
Su Chen responded gently, a warm smile on his face.
In this heartwarming scene, Hu Tao suddenly poked her head out from behind a tree. She had been secretly observing the interaction between Su Chen and Xiang Ling.
After hearing Xiang Ling's words, she couldn't help but mutter softly: "Ahhh, this is really worrying! Is Xiang Ling stupid?"
Although Hu Tao's words were a little joking, there was some truth to what she said.
From the perspective of an outsider, Xiangling's behavior is indeed somewhat difficult to understand. However, the saying "Those involved are confused, but those who are outsiders can see clearly" is particularly appropriate at this moment.
Although Hu Tao secretly thinks that Xiangling is a little "stupid", for Su Chen and Xiangling who are in the middle of it, every interaction between them is full of meaning. Even such a simple New Year's greeting is part of the emotional exchange between them.
……
Time goes back to one day ago. After fighting with Su Chen for 49 rounds, Hu Tao put on his attire as the leader of the Wangsheng Hall and walked out of the door. Only then did he see Xiangling hurriedly holding up her pants.
After arriving outside the door, Hu Tao almost immediately understood what had happened just by looking at the water stains left outside the door.
Hu Tao and Xiang Ling grew up together. They have a deep friendship and a spiritual connection.
However, Hu Tao also knew that Xiangling had been busy with cooking and had almost no time to manage her personal emotional life.
What's more, for some reason, Xiangling always gives people an impression of being difficult to approach, as if there is an insurmountable obstacle between her and love.
This unique temperament invisibly affected Xiangling's interactions with the opposite sex, resulting in her having almost no friends of the opposite sex.
Faced with the emotional dilemma of her best friend Xiangling, although she felt mixed emotions, she finally made up her mind and decided to lend a helping hand selflessly.
In her opinion, it would be better to introduce Xiangling to her boyfriend Su Chen rather than let her fall into an uncertain emotional relationship.
Hu Tao firmly believes that Su Chen's character and emotional value are enough to help her best friend find the happiness she deserves.
For Xiangling's future, Hu Tao is willing to share Su Chen's love with her.
So she carefully planned a series of plans, with the aim of making it easier for Xiangling and Su Chen to get together.
Hu Tao is a thoughtful person. She hopes that through her efforts, Xiang Ling will have the opportunity to experience the happiness of being loved.
However, despite Hu Tao's best efforts, Xiang Ling still seems to be unsuccessful in winning Su Chen's heart.
This unexpected result made Walnut feel lost and confused. She didn't expect that even with her full help, things still didn't develop in the expected direction.
Faced with this situation, Hu Tao knew that she couldn't give up and had to come up with a new strategy.
She knew very well that true friendship meant never leaving no matter what the circumstances, especially when Xiangling needed her.
Therefore, Hu Tao is determined to continue looking for new methods, hoping to find a better way to help Xiangling find her own happiness.
On this road, Hu Tao is willing to pay any price, just so that Xiang Ling can greet every new day with a smile...
As night falls, Liyue Harbor sheds the hustle and bustle of the day. Street lights gradually become scarce, and the voices of people gradually dissipate, revealing the tranquility and beauty of the night.
But in this quiet night, a young girl was busy in a room. She said to herself, "Su Chen, when can you come to see me again?" Then, she whispered, "I really hope Su Chen can stay with me forever."
This busy girl is none other than Xiangling, a well-known cook in Liyue City.
At this moment, she was not wearing any makeup and was wearing a loose pajamas. Her black hair was scattered on her shoulders. Her beautiful face and tender skin looked particularly charming under the hazy moonlight.
The next day, as usual, Xiangling received a package while helping in the kitchen at Wanmin Hall.
When she opened it, she found it was filled with many ingredients that neither she nor her father had ever seen before.
She continued to search and found a letter from Su Chen. Xiangling was overjoyed by the letter, which revealed that these were all new and unique specialties that Su Chen had discovered during his trip to Mondstadt. He introduced these unique ingredients to Xiangling through the letter.
Xiangling and her father read the letter carefully and learned the origins of these ingredients.
As they looked at the pile of strange-looking and unappealing ingredients such as wind-blown mushrooms, dandelion seeds, windmill daisies and small clover, they couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
For Xiangling, these unique ingredients are not only a gift from afar, but also a new cooking challenge and source of inspiration.
That night, Xiangling took advantage of her father's work at Wanmin Hall to show off her cooking talent in the kitchen alone.
She carefully prepared a Mushroom Soup and a Steak Stewed with Lamb. Both dishes were made with the special ingredients sent by Su Chen.
When the lights in the Church of All Peoples went out and it was late at night, her father finally came home and they sat down to share this warm dinner.
To their surprise, these seemingly ordinary ingredients became extraordinarily delicious under Xiangling’s skillful hands, and both the taste and texture were highly praised.
At the dinner table, the father and daughter were like hungry wolves, devouring the delicious food without mercy.
After the meal, Xiangling, with satisfaction and excitement, proposed a bold idea to her father - she wanted to go to Mondstadt in person to purchase more such special ingredients so that Wanmin Hall could launch more novel dishes.
Her eyes sparkled with longing for the future and love for food.
However, her father has been working in the food industry for many years. He cares about the prosperity of the business and is deeply worried about his daughter's safety traveling alone.
Faced with his daughter's enthusiasm and expectations, he felt torn and could only use a specious excuse to avoid the issue.
His heart was full of contradictions. On the one hand, he wanted to support his daughter's dream, but on the other hand, he couldn't bear to let her face the unknown journey alone.
This made Xiangling feel a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged. She knew that if she wanted to reassure her father, she needed to make more preparations and efforts.
Xiangling firmly believes that as long as she has sufficient preparation and a solid plan, she will eventually be able to convince her father and let the menu of Wanmin Hall take on new vitality because of her efforts.

We will have everything. Please support us!
Chapter 354 Xiangling: If flirting doesn’t work, then I’ll use Yao!
As the morning light shone into Liyue, Su Chen stepped into the Hall of All People. Xiangling happened to be there. She walked towards him eagerly with a gleam of excitement in her eyes.
She said, "Su Chen, do you still remember the special ingredients you gave me last time? I have discovered a wonderful cooking method and I really want you to try it. How about it, are you willing to try it?"
Xiangling's invitation was full of enthusiasm, and her eyes were staring at Su Chen expectantly, as if waiting for his affirmative answer. Faced with Xiangling's sincere invitation, how could Su Chen refuse?
"of course can."
Su Chen's reply brought an imperceptible smile to Xiangling's face.
She lively led Su Chen to the hotel she and Hu Tao had booked in advance, then she walked into the hotel kitchen and started cooking.
After careful preparation, Xiangling brought plates of delicious dishes to Su Chen, and the aroma of the dishes immediately filled the whole room.
During the cooking process, Xiangling put a packet of special medicinal powder in the dish, which she carefully customized with Baizhu.
"It smells really good. Xiangling, your cooking skills are incredible."
Su Chen couldn't help but admire, he could feel Xiangling's dedication and anticipation for this cooking.
Xiangling stood aside, watching Su Chen taste her dishes, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Every time Su Chen took a sip, she watched his reaction closely, hoping to read satisfaction and enjoyment from his expression.
At this moment, for Xiangling, Su Chen's satisfaction surpassed everything.
……
Thinking back to the present, Xiangling no longer had the heart to listen to those things.
She couldn't wait any longer and anxiously clamped her legs together, imagining in her mind the exciting scene when she saw Hu Tao and Su Chen playing games together yesterday.
Some of the chef's juice has already flowed out.
After hearing Su Chen's praise after eating her "special dish", Xiang Ling smiled foolishly, stretched out her fingers, and counted quietly: three, two, one..."
When Su Chen saw Xiang Ling's reaction, he hesitated and stood there in a daze.
However, the drug took effect and Su Chen fell to the ground, unable to move at all. However, he was conscious and could only watch Xiang Ling walk towards him step by step...
……
"Hehe, Brother Su Chen, now you are finally going to become mine..."
……
That’s right, this is the new idea that Hu Tao gave to Xiang Ling, that is, if soft tactics don’t work, just give her drugs!
In order to help Xiangling, Hu Tao took the risk this time and asked Qiqi to get various herbs from Baizhu, and used the secret recipe she got from an abandoned cemetery to prepare an ancient Liyue prescription.
Then Xiangling asked Baizhu to prepare this Liyue ancient medicine powder. The effect was very obvious and even the owner of the Eye of God could not resist it.
However, what Xiangling and Hutao didn’t know was who Su Chen was?
The successor of the Stick Warrior.
Using poison is simply child's play for him. He can easily break it. He doesn't even need to use any skills. He can easily break the effects of the drugs with his strong physique.
However, in order to see what tricks Xiangling and Hutao wanted to play, Su Chen also performed with them, acting out this special play.
……
"Guoba, go outside and do some roller skating. Xiangling and I have some private matters to discuss."
Walnut gently picked up Guoba and placed it lightly outside the door, then waved his hand, signaling it to go and play.
As soon as she finished speaking, she closed the door quietly, turned and entered Xiangling's room, ready to have a secret conversation with her.
Guoba was standing outside the door, not reacting for a moment. Then he seemed to understand something, shook his head gently, and ran off to find his own fun.
"Oh, and you, go play with Guoba."
After Hu Tao closed the door, she suddenly remembered her little pet Gui Gui. She smiled playfully and gently pushed Gui Gui out of the door, letting it and Guo Ba enjoy freedom together.
As soon as the door closed, Xiangling couldn't help but stare at Hu Tao curiously: "So, Hu Tao, what do you want?"
She folded her arms over her chest and looked at Kurumi with a puzzled look, waiting for her explanation.
Hu Tao looked mysterious and waved to Xiang Ling with a smile: "Hey, come here, I'll tell you in secret."
There was a mischievous gleam in her peach blossom eyes, as if she had some incredible plan to share.
Xiangling approached cautiously, and Hu Tao whispered softly in her ear.
As Hu Tao spoke more, Xiangling's face gradually turned slightly red. The more she listened, the more obvious the redness on her cheeks became.
"This... How can this be possible! He is not yours..."
After Hu Tao finished speaking, Xiang Ling's face had already turned red with shame, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was shocked to the extreme by Hu Tao's plan.
"Hey, Xiangling, are you planning to continue loving her silently like this?"
