I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 675

Xia Zhi watched the maid's figure disappear into the distance from his omniscient perspective, his expression thoughtful.

Two minutes later, Qin reached out and opened the paper cover.

An even richer aroma wafted over, making her mouth water.

Qin extended her fork, gently lifted a strand of noodles, carefully blew on it to cool it, and put it into her mouth.

"Woo..."

Qin's eyes widened slightly, and her body tensed up instantly.

As she swallowed the noodles, her body went limp again, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she let out a satisfied whimper.

"good to eat……"

Amber looked at her and said, "Right? It's super delicious!"

The mushroom strands are smooth and silky, the noodles are chewy and springy, the broth is rich and flavorful, and the aftertaste is unforgettable...

Qin nodded in agreement.

In addition, she had just read a romance novel for young women this morning, but it had a bad ending, and she felt a bit down after finishing it.

After taking a bite of this instant noodle, she found that her mood was gradually improving.

Indeed, delicious food has the power to heal the soul.

However, this is actually because the mycelium in instant noodles is "cream mushroom," which has a rich, creamy sweetness and can improve positive emotions (10%-15%) after consumption.

Qin looked at Xia Zhi and said, "Mr. Xia's cooking skills are indeed superb. He is worthy of being Miss Xiangling's master."

Xia Zhi smiled modestly and said, "I'm glad that Commander Qin likes to eat it."

"This food called instant noodles is not only incredibly convenient to prepare, but it also tastes better than any other type of noodle I've ever had," Qin said, a little embarrassed, recalling her earlier invitation. "I'm sorry, you two, I was being presumptuous earlier..."

"Abrupt?"

"The two of you originally planned to eat instant noodles, but I insisted on bringing you to a restaurant to eat food that's far less delicious than instant noodles..."

"Commander Qin is overthinking it. We actually prefer these fresh foods to instant noodles."

"Mr. Xia, there's no need to say that..."

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, ask Gan Yu. She's probably the person who eats instant noodles the most times."

Upon hearing this, Qin couldn't help but look at Gan Yu.

Gan Yu swallowed the food in her mouth, nodded, and then said, "That's true. Because of my position, I'm always very busy in Liyue. I have to handle a lot of government affairs every day, so I often work overtime until late at night. I think you, Commander Qin, can understand this feeling of being tired and hungry."

Qin paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes..."

Gan Yu glanced at Xia Zhi, her gaze softening slightly: "After I met Mr. Xia, we talked about this matter. After hearing about it, Mr. Xia invented instant noodles to help me solve this problem."

Jean and Amber were both somewhat surprised: "Is that why instant noodles came about?"

Gan Yu laughed and said, "Yes, ever since then, Mr. Xia would make some instant noodles for me every week. Back then, there weren't paper buckets like the ones you have in your hand; we used lunch boxes. Whenever I was hungry while working overtime at night, I would make two boxes of instant noodles. So, I should indeed be the person who eats instant noodles the most."

"I see."

"While Mr. Xia is right, I actually prefer fresh food to instant noodles, I must say that no matter how many times I eat instant noodles, I will never get tired of them."

Amber didn't even realize that Gan Yu was actually showing off their relationship, and nodded in agreement: "This is so delicious, I could eat it countless times and never get tired of it!"

Qin reads a lot of romance novels, so she's a bit more sensitive about this area.

She sensed that Gan Yu's words seemed a bit ambiguous, but she didn't think much of it. She just said with a touch of emotion, "Miss Gan Yu and Mr. Xia have such a good relationship. It's truly a comforting thing to be able to eat a delicious bowl of hot noodles when you're starving late at night."

In fact, Noelle would also make some fisherman's toast every day and put it in the restaurant, which was for her to eat when she was hungry while working overtime at night.

Although cold toast can't compare to hot instant noodles, the sentiment Noelle carries should be the same as Mr. Xia's.

After listening to Qin's words, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Since both Commander Qin and Miss Amber like instant noodles, I happen to have some left. Why don't I give them all to you?"

Qin: "Huh?"

Amber: "Hey!"

"Commander Jean is busy with official duties and often has to work overtime at night. Miss Amber, as a reconnaissance knight, also often has to spend the night in the wild. If you had a couple of packs of instant noodles with you, it would probably be of some help."

Qin was somewhat tempted.

Amber's eyes sparkled.

"Well... but... if we give them all to you, it might be inconvenient for you to cook when you travel in the future..."

"Commander Qin is overthinking it. It's just some instant noodles, nothing valuable. I'll make some new instant noodles when I have time in a couple of days. I'll make a lot and send some to you."

Qin then agreed, "Then... thank you very much, Mr. Xia."

Amber quickly followed up with her thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "You two don't need to be so polite."

After saying that, he took out a bunch of instant noodles and piled them on the table in front of him.

Qin came from a prominent family and naturally possessed her own spatial items. She reached out and put half of the instant noodles inside.

Amber came from an ordinary family and didn't have such luxuries. Looking at the instant noodles, her face first lit up with excitement, then turned worried: "So much...it's not easy to carry all this..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi produced a ring in his hand and said, "Miss Amber, please use this."

Amber's gaze fell on the ring, feeling that its appearance was familiar: "This looks like the one Xiangling wore... Not just Xiangling, it seems like everyone has one..."

"Yes, this is actually a spatial ring."

"Hey?!"

"Although the interior space is not very large, it should be enough for Miss Amber to store her daily items."

"No, no, no! Mr. Xia, this is too precious! I can't accept it!"

"Then consider it a loan from me to Miss Amber."

"I can't lend it, what if I accidentally lose it..."

"If it really is lost, Miss Amber, why don't you come work for me?"

"Can I compensate...wait? Become an employee?"

Amber was stunned.

"This ring is actually a perk that all our employees receive."

"Such great benefits!?"

"It's not as good as you think. It's just one of the little gadgets I made in my spare time using alchemy."

"..."

"Just kidding. Actually, this is a gift I prepared for you a long time ago. A couple of days ago, Xiangling secretly asked me if I had any extra space rings. She said that you have to carry the Wings of Wind while you go out to scout every day, which is too tiring. She wanted to give you a ring like this to lighten your burden. As your master, I still have to grant my disciple's small request. Anyway, here you go. If you really don't want it, then take it back to Xiangling. After all, this ring is hers now."

Xia Zhi threw the ring in her hand at Amber.

Amber was so frightened that she quickly caught it with both hands.

What if something so valuable falls to the ground and breaks?

Amber carefully held the ring, looking down at it with eyes full of emotion: "Xiangling..."

You are truly my dearest friend!

Qin sat quietly to the side, watching what had just happened. As the acting leader, she was very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships and could naturally tell whether Mr. Xia was joking or not.

However, this was their business, and she had no right to say anything more. She smiled and lowered her head to eat her instant noodles.

After finishing their meal, the four of them walked out of the restaurant.

Since Qin wasn't busy, she went to the library with them.

Amber found Ying'er and Xianyun in the library and took them to the alchemy laboratory to find sugar.

Qin returned alone to the bookshelf where she had picked up the book that morning, quietly put the romance novel she had finished reading back, and then went to the library office.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a long while, Lisa's languid voice finally came from inside.

"Who is it?"

"it's me."

"Qin, come in."

Qin pushed open the door, went inside, and closed it.

Lisa remained slumped over the table, her eyes half-closed, seemingly unable to wake up.

Qin walked over and said helplessly, "I told you to stay up all night reading, and now you're so tired."

Lisa raised her eyes and replied irritably, "You know I need to catch up on my sleep, yet you still come to bother me, don't you?"

Qin glanced at the Fontaine mechanical clock hanging on the wall and said, "Don't you even know what time it is? It's time for lunch. Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry, but I don't want to move at all. Just let me continue sleeping." Lisa closed her eyes again. "Close the door behind you when you leave."

"you……"

Lisa heard Qin sigh softly, and then she heard Qin's footsteps in the office, but they didn't seem to be heading towards the door, but rather towards the tea table next to it.
