That night, Su Chen grilled a fish for Qiqi, and Qiqi tasted it carefully. The warmth at that moment made Su Chen wonder whether Qiqi could feel this warmth from the bottom of her heart.

On such a night, Su Chen gently kissed Qiqi's forehead.

This action made Qiqi stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Su Chen with a naive look on her face, but deep emotions were hidden in it.

"Brother Su Chen..."

She spoke softly, her voice full of tenderness and attachment.

"After meeting you, Qiqi felt an unprecedented warmth, not only physically, but more of a feeling in her heart..."

……

As the night deepened, Qiqi took out the tent from Su Chen's backpack with swift movements and began to set it up with her skillful little hands, preparing for the coming night.

Su Chen looked at Qiqi's focused little figure, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He said jokingly in a teasing yet loving tone: "Let Qiqi come this time. I know you can't wait. I will make sure you enjoy it this time..."

In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Qiqi suddenly made a request that surprised Su Chen, which made him curious and asked: "Qiqi, how did you learn all this?"

Qiqi stopped what she was doing in her hands and mouth, stopped trying to eat the mushrooms, raised her little face full of joy and curiosity, her eyes flashing with thought.

"Hmm...let me think about it."

After a moment, a look of surprise blossomed on her face, "Oh, right! Qiqi remembers it. There was a time when Qiqi was picking herbs here, and saw you, Brother Su Chen, and a lady in fiery red clothes here... um... 'communicating'."

Qiqi's description is a little naive, but it is enough to make people smile.

Qiqi continued in her uniquely innocent tone, "At that time, that elder sister was 'invited' by you, Brother Su Chen, to sit on a rocking chair. I guess she must have done something bad, so Brother Su Chen would... 'correct' her in that way."

Qiqi's explanation was full of childish logic, but her eyes were shining with infinite trust and admiration for Su Chen.

Su Chen couldn't help but smile after listening to Qiqi's description. It turned out that the "communication" between him and the lady had become a classroom for Qiqi to learn on the spot!

Su Chen was a little surprised, but it was just right. He didn't need to teach too much, Qiqi was able to learn the lady's actions at that time. It was just that these words coming out of Qiqi's mouth were more or less a little strange.

However, Su Chen did not dwell on it too much.

He appreciated Qiqi's observation and learning abilities more, so he gently touched Qiqi's little head as she was working attentively, and carefully guided her every move.

……

Another hour passed.

"Hmm...Brother Su Chen, there's so much coconut milk~"

"Well, Qiqi, drink it all. It's good for your body."

"Okay... coconut milk, it's delicious, Qiqi, drink it all~"

"I like...Brother Su Chen's coconut milk the most..."

Chapter 397 Qiqi wants to drink coconut milk (Take me with you!)

"Brother Su Chen!"

As soon as Yingmei saw Su Chen, her figure rushed towards him as quickly as a spring breeze, even faster than her thoughts.

Su Chen greeted Yingmei with a gentle smile and said softly, "You have worked hard these past few days and put in a lot of effort for Ningguang's commission. She deeply appreciates this and wants to thank you specially."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Yingmei was a little surprised at first, but soon she showed an understanding smile and nodded slightly.

Paimon jumped aside, almost dancing as he landed on Yingmei's shoulder, and said excitedly, "That's great, Yingmei! We have another chance to go to Xinyuexuan. I didn't enjoy the food there last time."

Paimon's reaction was unusually quick. After all, for her, whether in the past or now, delicious food has always been the most attractive thing to her.

She was looking forward to the upcoming banquet.

"We will go to Xinyue Pavilion together tonight. Ningguang has carefully prepared a banquet to entertain us."

Su Chen continued, his voice full of anticipation and tenderness.

Yingmei's heart was filled with gratitude and excitement, while Paimon was ecstatic about having the opportunity to taste the delicious food of Xinyuexuan again.

They were full of anticipation for the coming night.

"of course."

Yingmei's response immediately attracted Shen He's attention. Their eyes met in the air, and at that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Yingmei felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do. In Su Chen and Shen He's world, she always felt like an outsider.

"Lady Ningguang has accomplished the task very well. Your ability is truly admirable."

Shen He's praise broke the brief silence. After hearing this, Yingmei's cheeks turned a shy red and a sweet feeling surged in her heart.

When Su Chen saw that the two of them got along so well, his worries disappeared.

"Okay, it's getting late, we should leave." He reminded softly, leading everyone towards Xinyuexuan.

Shen He walked close to Su Chen, and her occasional hand on his arm made Su Chen feel her tenderness and the faint fragrance, and ripples appeared in his heart.

On the other side, Yingmei also held Su Chen's other hand tightly. The sweet smile on her face seemed to make the air around them much softer.

Fortunately, Shen He didn't seem to mind this intimacy, so Su Chen felt at ease, knowing that this party would be a pleasant one.

After arriving at Xinyuexuan, the boss told them that Ningguang had booked the entire third floor again this time, and several people immediately headed towards the third floor.

There were waiters running around constantly, especially when walking to the third floor, you can see that there are quite a lot of people this time.

Su Chen and the other two went to the center of where they were last time. It was the widest place, and they could also see the night scene of Liyue outside.

"Su Chen, Ying Mei, Shen He, you are here, please take a seat."

Ganyu and Keqing were still helping Ningguang entertain the guests. After Su Chen sat down, Shen He quickly sat next to Su Chen.

And Yingmei was not willing to be left behind and sat on the other side of Su Chen.

After seeing the combination of three people, both Ganyu and Keqing looked unhappy.

Keqing, in particular, frowned. What was wrong with this guy Su Chen?

"Okay, Keqing, you sit down too. All the guests are seated."

Compared to Keqing, Ningguang's handling is quite natural, although she has quite complicated emotions towards Shenhe and Yingmei.

“Oh, sure. Okay.”

Keqing's voice was a little unnatural, as if she had suffered some kind of blow. She sat down slowly, her eyes wandering among the crowd. She sighed involuntarily, revealing a hint of loss.

Ganyu noticed her abnormality and asked with concern: "Keqing, do you feel unwell?"

Keqing shook her head, trying to hide her emotions.

At this moment, Ningguang stood up, her eyes looking through everyone, with an indescribable excitement and gratitude: "This time, the Jade Pavilion can be rebuilt, thanks to your unremitting efforts. Over the years, the Jade Pavilion has been like my own child to me. Today, seeing it reborn, my heart is filled with excitement and gratitude. I want to sincerely thank everyone for their efforts. I, Ningguang, will always remember this kindness in my heart."

As Ningguang finished her words, she raised her glass, and the guests responded by raising their glasses high. At this moment, the air was filled with warmth and emotion.

As the culinary essence of Xinyuexuan was quickly revealed, one signature dish after another was placed on the table like a delicate stream, which was fascinating.

In this tempting aroma, Su Chen and Shen He beside him drank from the cup of wine together, completely forgetting themselves, as if all the gazes around them had turned into air.

Shen He's face was filled with a satisfied smile, but the atmosphere in the field was quite different.

Ningguang had a mysterious smile on her face and cast meaningful glances at Su Chen and Shen He from time to time. Her beautiful eyes flickered with an elusive light.

Meanwhile, Ganyu was clearly not too interested in the scene, choosing to concentrate on savoring the food, as if to say, "Out of sight, out of mind."

Yingmei showed a hint of displeasure, pouted her little lips, and stuffed Paimon's mouth with food in dissatisfaction. Even though Paimon had begged and said he couldn't eat any more, Yingmei didn't seem to intend to stop.

Just as the atmosphere of the banquet was growing and everyone was immersed in this unique joy, no one noticed that a small figure was quietly climbing up the stairs to the third floor.

During this long and joyful moment, Su Chen was enjoying the pleasure of being fed. Suddenly, a gentle and soft voice sounded in his ears, breaking the tranquility of the banquet.

“I want coconut milk!”

The first person to react to this sentence was Ganyu. Her pretty face quickly turned red and she stood up hurriedly.

He stammered and tried to explain to everyone.

"This, she, Qiqi is unclear about her words, so she often makes mistakes, right?"

As Ganyu spoke, she looked at Su Chen standing beside her, hoping to get help from Su Chen.

Before Su Chen could speak, Qiqi took another step closer, came to Su Chen's side, looked at Su Chen and said.

"Big brother, I want coconut milk!"

Su Chen's gaze intentionally or unintentionally looked at Ganyu on the side. He shouldn't stand out at this time.

This will only arouse suspicion from others.

Although Ganyu's behavior was somewhat surprising, no one present took it seriously.

After all, the secretary in charge of the Seven Stars is very strange on weekdays and often says nonsense.

As the person involved, Ganyu naturally knows it very clearly.

Isn't this coconut milk produced from her own body? Ningguang looked at Su Chen, Qiqi and Ganyu with suspicion.

Keqing seemed to have noticed something as well, and her eyes were mainly focused on Ganyu's slime.

Ganyu’s thing has grown bigger again, and there is also so-called coconut milk?

Keqing had an expression that looked as if she understood but not quite. Just when she felt like she was about to understand something, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs.

Then a head of long green hair floated into everyone's sight, and the pair of golden snake eyes glanced at the people around.

A gentle smile quickly appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was Bai Zhu, who greeted Ningguang and others.

"Greetings, Master Qixing."

Ningguang and Keqing also responded one after another. Bai Zhu looked at Qiqi beside him and explained with a bitter smile.

"I brought Qiqi back from purchasing medicinal herbs, and before I knew it, Qiqi ran over here."

"I'm really sorry for causing trouble to you all."

Then Bai Zhu looked at the little zombie Qiqi beside him, who was still staying beside Su Chen.

"It's okay. This is just a private gathering between us. It's not an offense. Besides, Mr. Bai Shu, you are proficient in medicine and have made great contributions to the development of medicine in Liyue."

Bai Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"My talent and knowledge are limited, and I can only do what I can do occasionally."

Bai Zhu is still very humble. His medical skills are considered to be unique in Liyue. He looked at Qiqi over there.

Qiqi finally recognized Su Chen and said to him happily, "Big brother!"

Seeing Qiqi so excited, Bai Zhu suddenly realized something and explained, "So you are the big brother that Qiqi mentioned. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. How should I address you?"

………………

Chapter 398 Qiqi also wants to join!

When Bai Zhu extended a hand of friendship to Su Chen, Su Chen responded with his signature smile, and the distance between them seemed to be shortened a lot at this moment.

He said gently: "Qiqi is such a cute little girl. I like her very much. Right, Qiqi?"

Qiqi nodded slightly, then raised her head and giggled at Su Chen. This warm scene relieved Bai Zhu's tension.

Soon after, the snake on Bai Zhu's neck also joined the conversation, especially showing an obvious liking for Su Chen, with a hint of respect and appreciation in its attitude.

This sudden interaction surprised Yingmei. She stared at the snake intently, curious and surprised.

At the same time, Paimon also stopped eating, trotted a few steps and hid behind Yingmei, using his little arms to cover his body as much as possible to seek a sense of security.

Faced with Yingmei and Paimon's reactions, Bai Zhu couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then patiently explained the origin of all this to everyone present.

"Don't worry, it won't cause you any harm."

Bai Shu's voice was full of soothing power, trying to ease the tension of Yingmei and Paimon.

Yingmei and Paimon, as companions who have experienced various adventures on their journey, have communicated with talking cranes and fairy deer, and even witnessed the magical scene of cranes transforming into human forms.

This experience gradually made them let down their guard about the situation before them, and Paimon even bravely approached the snake and observed it curiously.

However, when the snake gently spit out its tongue, Paimon was frightened and quickly stepped back. Fortunately, Yingmei reached out in time to steady her.
