I'm a male god in Liyue

A moment later, Lisa heard the sound of someone picking up the kettle and pulling out the cork.

"As long as there's still hot water, that's fine."

Lisa heard Qin mutter this to herself.

Hot water? What? Qin wants to drink tea here? Let her be...

Lisa still didn't open her eyes. The drowsiness from staying up all night came over her, and the sense of security of having her best friend by her side made her quickly fall asleep.

She had a dream.

She dreamed of a strange food that she didn't know what it looked like, but knew it smelled incredibly delicious.

The thing was floating in the air, and she tried to chase after it, but she couldn't catch up with it no matter what she did. She could only follow behind it and smell the very tempting fragrance it emitted.

The fragrance grew stronger and stronger, and she could even feel a wisp of heat brushing against her face, as if it were right next to her.

But even when she reached out, she couldn't touch anything...

What a strange dream! Why would I have such a dream?

Lisa thought.

It's probably because I didn't eat lunch and I'm hungry.

"Lisa, Lisa... wake up."

The sound of a zither reached my ears.

Lisa slowly opened her eyes and woke up from her dream.

"Hmm... Qin? What are you still here... Haven't you finished your tea yet?..."

"Tea? What kind of tea?"

"Weren't you using a kettle before?"

"That's hot water to make instant noodles for you. Sit up quickly, the instant noodles are ready for you, eat them now."

"Huh? Instant noodles?"

Lisa lifted her head from the table she was lying on and saw a paper bucket in front of her, emitting an enticing aroma, just like the one she had just smelled in her dream.

"It's actually this..."

Qin asked curiously, "What is this thing?"

Lisa stretched, revealing her beautiful figure, and said, "It's nothing..."

Qin didn't ask any more questions, but urged, "Eat quickly, instant noodles won't taste as good if they're left to soak for too long."

Lisa picked up her fork, poked at the curled noodles inside, and asked, "Where did you get this instant noodle?"

"It was a gift from Mr. Xia."

"It's for you?"

"Ah."

Why would he think of giving you something like this?

"Because I want it. Stop asking so many questions and eat quickly."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"Because the noodles taste best right now! Don't delay!"

"Qin, it's rare to see you so anxious."

"..."

"Alright, alright, I'll eat now, okay? You've been talking so much... um?"

Lisa had just taken a bite of noodles when her cheerful expression suddenly froze.

Qin found it amusing and asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Lisa didn't reply. She savored the taste of the noodles in her mouth, swallowed them, and then quickly rolled up the next bunch of noodles.

"Lisa, is it delicious?"

"Don't talk, don't keep me from eating my noodles."

"Tsk, it's rare to see you in such a hurry."

"..."

A few minutes later, Lisa finished the noodle soup in the paper bucket and placed the empty bucket on the table with a satisfied look on her face: "This noodle soup tastes really good."

Qin smiled and said, "Right? I told you a long time ago."

Lisa also felt that her mood had become more cheerful after eating the bowl of noodles.

Unlike Qin, as a research scholar, she keenly perceived the unusual nature of her emotional changes.

This is not simply because my body is full; it's more like I've been influenced by some unknown force.

Lisa pondered for a moment, looked at Qin, and asked earnestly, "Qin, how many instant noodles did that Mr. Xia give you?"

"I gave it to her..." Qin suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Lisa with some suspicion. "Why are you asking that?"

"Give me a few buckets."

"?"

"Hey, Qin, what's with that look? Aren't we best friends? Can't I even share a few bowls of instant noodles with you?"

"It's not a matter of whether it's okay or not. Mr. Xia gave me this instant noodles so I could eat it when I get hungry while working overtime tonight. You're not working overtime tonight, you're just being greedy..."

Lisa said with a serious expression, "What do you mean gluttony! I think there's something wrong with this instant noodle. Haven't you noticed? It seems to contain some kind of substance that can affect the emotions of the consumer. This kind of thing is very dangerous. If you eat too much, it can even cause hallucinations. You might be secretly hypnotized without even knowing it. I'm just worried about you! That's why I want to investigate it."

Qin paused for a moment and said, "You're overthinking it. Mr. Xia isn't that kind of person."

"Look at you! You've only met him a few times, and you trust him so much! I think you've already been influenced by psychological suggestion!"

"For research purposes, one cup of instant noodles should be enough, right? Why do you need several cups?"

"Of course, it's to create more samples! That way, the experimental results will be more accurate."

"Then I'll give you two buckets."

"At least five buckets!"

"Three buckets."

Five buckets!

"If you don't want it, then forget it. Goodbye."

"Hey! Fine, three buckets it is! If it weren't for the fact that you're my best friend, I wouldn't bother with you doing such troublesome things."

Qin took out three buckets of instant noodles from her personal inventory and placed them on the table.

Lisa put away two of the instant noodle cups, then opened the other one with a look of great interest.

Qin looked at her and asked, "Aren't you sleepy now?"

“You underestimate me. When I was studying and writing papers in Sumeru, I would go for days and nights without sleeping... It seems like this won't reveal anything. Qin, get me some hot water.”

"I'm telling you, you're actually not full, are you?"

"Do not."

Two minutes later.

"Ouch, it's so hot..."

"You really weren't full, were you?"

"You don't understand, I was using myself as an experimental subject, and sure enough... I felt my mood improve again."

"..."

Lisa finished her second bowl of instant noodles.

There wasn't a drop of soup left in the bucket.

Seeing the satisfied look on her face, Qin asked, "Have you gotten the results yet?"

Lisa lowered her eyes slightly: "I'm starting to get a clue."

"What clue?"

"Don't rush me. I'll finish studying the other two buckets of noodles later and then tell you my conclusions... Don't look at me like that. I wouldn't lie to you about eating these buckets of noodles."

"Hard to say……"

"Fine, I'll let it go since you brought me food." Lisa stood up and stretched her slender, shapely waist, then suddenly asked, "Is Principal Xia still in the library choosing books?"

Qin nodded: "Yeah."

"But isn't he blind?"

“There were other people with him.”
