"Oh, okay, but..." Yan Fei's expression became more and more subtle, and she nodded: "I think this may not be necessary?"
"Ah?" Ganyu was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Yan Fei meant.
Yu Qi, on the other hand, focused on Gan Yu's address to him: "A Ping? Miss Gan Yu, are you talking about Grandma Ping?"
"Ah? Yes, what's wrong?"
Seeing Yu Qi's confusion, Yan Fei explained helplessly: "Brother Yu, you forgot, I said before that Senior Ganyu was born as early as the seventeenth year of the Demon God War. If you count carefully, she and grandma are actually of the same generation. I call her senior only because we are both half-immortals."
"Uh, is that so?" Yu Qi suddenly realized and smiled embarrassedly: "I thought... ahem, sorry!"
"It's okay." Gan Yu smiled gently. She didn't care much. After all, the relationship between immortals was actually quite special. For example, the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng who raised her was of the same generation as Grandma Ping.
However, he and Grandma Ping are of the same generation, but his junior sister Shen He, whom he has never met, has to call Grandma Ping "Uncle-master".
In the eyes of mortals, this kind of relationship may be a little confusing, but as long as the immortals themselves can figure it out, to be honest, not many immortals care about this kind of thing.
"By the way, Yan Fei, what did you mean by unnecessary just now?"
"...Yes, that Miss Ganyu." Putting down his chopsticks, Yu Qi looked at Miss Qilin, who looked confused and didn't look like a thousand-year-old semi-immortal, and sighed: "Is it possible that the owner of that store is called Yu Qi!"
Slightly emphasizing his own name, Yu Qi raised his hand and pointed at himself. Under Miss Qilin's confused gaze, he explained the whole story from beginning to end.
"Ah, is that so? That's such a coincidence!"
Looking at Gan Yu, whose face was blushing and slightly surprised, Yu Qi chuckled and said, "Yes, it's really a coincidence!"
Having said that, an inexplicable light flashed in Yu Qi's eyes, and a broad back and a pair of deep eyes with bright golden light silently emerged in his mind.
Counting all the things that happened today, whether it was Hu Tao coming over in the morning and bumping into Qi Qi; or Zhong Li arriving and taking out the blueprint for the disaster relief; or Yu Qi opening the rough stone to create the Cui Jue rock needed to build the Half Cave Heaven with a simple flick of his finger when solving the Cui Xing...
Each of these things may seem normal when taken individually, but if you look back carefully, you will find that they all contain creepy "coincidences"!
It's as if someone is silently pushing things to change, making everything move in the direction he wants.
Plus, I just happened to meet Miss Ganyu here, who came here specially to set up the barrier...
Yu Qi couldn't help but want to hold his forehead, he had a headache, but more of it was confusion.
"What exactly does Mr. Zhongli want to do?"
He almost instinctively locked the finger on Zhongli as the mastermind behind the incident, but after thinking it over, Yu Qi couldn't figure out what he was planning.
And, most importantly, he could vaguely feel that what happened in the morning and in the afternoon could not actually be connected together.
If Zhongli's purpose in the morning was just to take the opportunity to meet with him and hand over the blueprint of the disaster relief device to him, then in the afternoon, the purpose of these coincidences seemed to have become... to set up the barrier and the half-cave sky faster?
"Could it be that he really just wanted the Zhuo Yin Spring Water and Yuan Yang Pill? Did he want to use them to treat some relatives or friends?"
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time." He shook his head secretly in his heart, suppressed this worry, and glanced at Alicia silently, then looked down at the purple ball on his chest: "I hope things won't go to the worst."
Of course, judging from the fact that Zhongli did not choose to seize power by trickery, but instead used coincidences to guide him step by step, he might really have no ill intentions.
Chatting and laughing, they finished the rainbow vegetable and fruit platter that Xiangling brought over at the end, and the meal came to an end.
"Brother Yu, how was your meal? How did it taste? Was there anything lacking?"
"Hmm~" Yu Qi rubbed his stomach with satisfaction and smiled: "Every dish is delicious. Xiangling, it seems that you have improved again!"
“Hehe, no.” Xiangling scratched her head embarrassedly and explained, “It’s all because the ingredients you sent, Brother Yu, are so good. They taste great on their own and they are very delicious after a little preparation.
Even if another chef comes, I don’t think it will be that bad.”
In response to this, Yu Qi did not say much, but just smiled and shook his head. Indeed, his ingredients were of high quality and their own taste was delicious even without cooking.
But it is very rare to be able to use these ingredients as skillfully as Xiangling and make delicious dishes.
"Well, what about Miss Ganyu? How about those vegetarian dishes? Because the ingredients provided by Brother Yu were somewhat special, I didn't cook them much. I just used the simplest method to process them. If there are any flaws, please point them out!"
"Well, tofu and cabbage are both delicious, especially the tofu. The glazed crystal tofu is crisp and refreshing, while the black fat tofu is soft and thick. They have two different tastes, but they are equally delicious. I have never eaten such delicious vegetarian dishes in my life!"
"That's right!" Yan Fei nodded vigorously and agreed, "I have eaten dozens of kinds of tofu since I was a child, and I have tried all kinds of famous and unknown tofu dishes in Liyue, but there is really no tofu more delicious than these two!
Unfortunately, Brother Yu, you don’t have much tofu left. At most, we can only have one meal tomorrow, and then there will be no more.”
"I can't help it. I only brought these two kinds of tofu. It's only enough for two meals."
"Hey, so these ingredients are so scarce?!" Ganyu sighed with some regret, pursed her lips, and a little bit of loss emerged in her heart.
After all, compared to other vegetarian dishes I have eaten before, this tofu, cabbage, vegetables and fruits are really delicious.
When I think about the fact that I can only have this one meal...
"Don't feel so regretful. After all, compared to others, we are very lucky to be able to eat these, aren't we?" Walking over with a smile, taking Ganyu's hand and holding it in front of her, Alicia blinked and said with a smile.
"Just like a beautiful girl, there is no need to think too much about the future, imagining that time will pass and your face will age. As long as you make yourself cute and beautiful now, isn't that enough?"
"Yeah, too."
"Also, although this tofu is delicious, it is also very high in calories. It's okay to eat it a few times, but if you eat too much, it's still very easy to gain weight!"
He sighed casually, but as soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qi suddenly felt the air around him suddenly become quiet.
Turning back in confusion, he met two pairs of incredulous eyes.
"Yu Qi, Mr. Yu Qi, what did you just say?"
"Haha, Boss, you were joking just now, right? You must be right?"
Chapter 55: Confession from the Half-Immortal Girl
"So, what's going on with them?"
On the way back to the store, Yu Qi looked at the two slender figures in front of him who were lowering their heads and keeping silent in confusion, completely unable to understand what had gone wrong.
"Hehe~" Yan Fei on the side seemed to have figured out the whole story. She chuckled but did not tell Yu Qiming.
Then, suddenly thinking of something, Yan Fei couldn't help but lower her head, stretched out her hand and pinched her smooth belly, with some thoughts in her mind.
"I'd better work out later, otherwise... it's okay, I have the element of fire, I can just burn the fat!"
They returned to the shop surrounded by a subtle atmosphere. Yu Qi took Gan Yu, who had barely cheered up, to see the Zhuoyin Spring, and then chose to say goodbye.
"Okay, Mr. Yu Qi, just send us here. Yan Fei and I will go back together." Standing at the door, waving to Yu Qi who was sending us out, Gan Yu turned around and prepared to leave with Yan Fei.
But she hesitated for a moment at the intersection, and finally turned around and looked at Yu Qi.
Such an action made Yu Qi's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't help but glance at Yan Fei beside Gan Yu. When their eyes met, Yan Fei couldn't help but blush.
Just when Yu Qi thought that Gan Yu would suddenly rush over and hug him like Yan Fei did yesterday, he was hesitating whether to avoid her or stop her.
Ganyu took a deep breath and held her hands in front of her chest, as if trying to suppress some other impulse.
The bright moonlight sprinkled and shone on Ganyu's icy blue hair, refracting crystal rays that dotted around her, making her look like a fairy from heaven.
It is ethereal, holy and makes people's heart beat fast.
Although, in a sense, she is indeed a fairy who has descended to earth.
"Um, Yu Qi, Mr. Yu Qi..." Pressing her chest with some force, Gan Yu stared at Yu Qi for the first time since they met today. Her bright lips opened and closed like a rosy flower, making people want to come closer and taste him.
"If you can, could you please restrain the aura on your body?"
"what?"
"Well, if we, the bloodline of spirit beasts, smell that kind of aura, we will always have a special impulse. Although I am older and can barely control it, it is still very uncomfortable to bear it; so..."
"Wait, wait a minute...smell? What scent? You mean the smell on my body?" Looking at him doubtfully, Yu Qi lifted his clothes and sniffed, but there was no strange smell.
"No, it's not." Shaking his head to deny Yu Qi's statement, Gan Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's a very strange aura. The power in you is very pure and natural. When we see you, we always feel like we are seeing this piece of heaven and earth, mountains and forests, and fertile fields. It makes me feel inexplicably close to you."
"Well~ I want to throw myself into your arms and have a good sleep there." A blush appeared on her cheeks, but Gan Yu still mustered up the courage to tell everything: "Generally speaking, the more spiritual beasts and fairy beasts that worship nature, the more likely they are to be attracted by the aura of you, Mr. Yu Qi.
It’s like mint to a cat; once they smell it, it’s hard for them to leave.”
"For example... you? And Yan Fei?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yan Fei, who seemed to be looking a little erratic beside Gan Yu: "Because of this aura, do you have a great liking for me?"
"Well, not entirely." Yan Fei keenly sensed the meaning of Yu Qi's words, and quickly stood up, waving her hands and explaining: "Although when we first met, I did notice you because of the aura on you, Brother Yu.
But then it was gone. I fell in love with you because, in the subsequent communication, I felt that we really got along well. I don’t know why... I just didn’t want to leave you!"
As she spoke, afraid that Yu Qi would not believe her, she took two steps forward and tried to explain: "Besides, I actually asked grandma last night whether this feeling of affection was because I was attracted by the aura of you, which made me so... impulsive!
But my grandmother said that I have Xiezhi blood in me, and I prefer civilization and humans to nature. Although I am attracted to them, it is not strong. "
"Moreover, I also contacted my father, and he also told me that the Xiezhi bloodline can ward off all evil and resolve all evil, and is fair and majestic, and is the least susceptible to spiritual and mental influences.
As a Xiezhi, if I really want to have such a good impression on someone, the only possibility is that I really like you!"
"You have to believe me……"
Reaching out and pressing Yan Fei's lips, Yu Qi helplessly looked at her anxiously trying to explain, and sighed with a bit of a laugh: "You, why are you so anxious? I don't doubt that your feelings for me are fake!"
"really?"
"real!"
"Really?"
"really!"
"Really, really, really?"
"Really, really, really!"
"Woo~ I knew that, Brother Yu, you are the best!" Throwing herself into Yu Qi's arms, Yan Fei rubbed her face hard on his soft collar, wiping away the barely perceptible trace of water at the corner of her eyes.
"..." Looking silently at the two people hugging each other in front of her, Ganyu's eyes revealed a look that was unclear whether it was yearning or envy.
After waiting for a while, she let out a breath when she saw Yan Fei finally calm down and push Yu Qi away with a flushed face. She continued, "Mr. Yu Qi, as you can see, let's not talk about the impact of this aura on our spirit beasts for now. The key is that it can easily cause misunderstandings."
"Although most people cannot sense the existence of this aura, once someone senses it, it can easily be regarded as a mockery or even a provocation. Therefore, I personally suggest that you find a way to restrain it."
After saying that, she paused and looked at Yan Fei hesitantly: "Well... if you don't have a suitable method to restrain your breath, if you don't mind, I can teach you a technique specifically for restraining your breath."
"Ah? Is this appropriate?" Yu Qi withdrew his eyes from the inventory. He did not find a card that could help him. When he heard Ganyu say that, he was a little surprised for a moment.
"It would be a shame if the immortal's skills were handed over to me like this, right?"
It's not that he was pretending, but Yu Qi really felt that it was not good for him to accept Ganyu's favor for nothing.
"It's okay." Ganyu chuckled and shook her head, then retracted her gaze and took a deep breath.
Sniffing the fresh air coming from the other side, she tried to suppress the throbbing in her heart: "It's okay, it's just a simple method of restraining the breath. It can't even be called a method, it can only be said to be a skill."
"Then I will be disrespectful."
"Yes, okay." Gan Yu nodded and bowed slightly to say goodbye to Yu Qi. Then she turned around and took the hand of Yan Fei, who was still reluctant to leave, and left quickly.
From afar, her hurried voice drifted in with the night wind, cold but with a hint of heat: "As for the technique, I don't have it with me right now. I'll bring it to you, Mr. Yu Qi, when I come to set up the barrier tomorrow."
"Forehead……"
Looking at Ganyu's 'fleeing' back, Yu Qi laughed in silence, lowered his head and sniffed his clothes again.
When I turned my head, a pair of sky blue eyes suddenly appeared in front of me, pink hair fluttered in the wind, and there was a playful smile on her fairy-like delicate face.
"Boss, how do you feel?"
"Ah, what do you mean?"
“Of course…” After smiling, Alicia turned back to the store, sat sideways on the chair, and revealed a lazy expression: “It feels like being confessed to in person by such a cute girl.
Oh, it makes me envious just thinking about it. This sunny, lively and lovely girl is willing to change her personality for you. She even almost cried because of your little doubt. She also decisively overcame her shyness and loudly expressed her feelings in front of you.
It's really an enviable experience. Why don't girls treat me like this? "
"Feelings..." Ignoring Alysia's subsequent sighs, Yu Qi slowly walked back to the store and murmured, "Surprise? Surprise? Fear? Confusion? Maybe a little bit of all."
"I used to be just a useless otaku who had accomplished nothing. I had never been attracted to a girl, and no girl would ever fancy me. Suddenly, facing such a confession... I can only say that the impact was very strong!"
Raising his hand to press on his chest, Yu Qi appeared to remain calm, but in fact, he really felt his heart skip a beat the moment Yan Fei loudly said that she loved him.
He didn't hate Yan Fei, nor did he resist becoming closer to Yan Fei. Although he was still a little at a loss, but...
"Huh, maybe I am indeed moved!"
"Hmm, is that so!" Raising her eyebrows, Alicia remained silent. She slowly stood up and walked in front of Yu Qi.
The slender fingers gently touched his brow, and then turned and walked upstairs.
