Chapter 83 Comfort
After returning to Wangshu Inn and booking a room, Lu Shiyuan and others learned a bad news - Chef Yan Xiao, who was once a notorious bandit, had gone to bed after get off work.

In other words, no one cooked for them.

Therefore, Lu Shiyuan had to spend money to borrow the kitchen from the innkeeper, Miss Philgodette, and asked the others to wait in the inn. After some pretense and taking away enough ingredients to cook several dishes, he took out the dishes from his game backpack and served them on the table.

Naturally, the others could not see through Lu Shiyuan's trick, and everyone at the table started eating happily.

"I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have such cooking skills. He's no worse than the chefs at Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion." Gan Yu ate the vegetables and praised, "I'm really in for a treat today."

"Just call me Shi Yuan, that's what they all call me." Lu Shi Yuan laughed and then asked, "Gan Yu, why do you only eat vegetables? Eat some meat."

"No... no thanks." Gan Yu waved her hand quickly, "I like to eat vegetarian food, and it's late at night. If I eat too much, I might get fat."

"Hey! He's an immortal, but he can get fat?" Paimon, who was eating a lot, was very surprised and said proudly, "No, Paimon won't get fat no matter how much he eats."

"Really... That's amazing." Ganyu showed her envy on her face without hiding it. Looking at Paimon's heartless and innocent appearance, she suddenly felt a little sad, "If only I could be like Paimon and know nothing."

Paimon's expression froze, and everyone else looked at Ganyu.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper!" Ganyu realized that her words had ruined everyone's mood, so she stood up apologetically and walked out to the terrace.

Everyone looked at Ganyu's back as she left alone, and all of them were speechless.

Paimon broke the silence and whispered, "It seems that the death of the Rock King has dealt a heavy blow to Ganyu. Should we tell her that the Rock King..."

"Cough cough..." Lu Shiyuan coughed violently, interrupting Paimeng's words.

Paimeng understood and quickly closed his mouth and buried his head in eating.

Zhongli looked at Lu Shiyuan curiously, as if wanting to know why the latter interrupted Paimeng.

Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, and her clever brain began to work rapidly, "There are no outsiders here, even the innkeeper, Miss Philgodette, has gone back to her room to sleep.

So why did Shi Yuan stop Paimon from continuing? Was it simply out of caution, or did he not want someone at the same table to know? "

She cast her gaze towards Zhongli and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Don't you want Zhongli to know? But, even though he is an immortal, he has been with us for so long, so it's actually okay to tell him.

Or is it that Zhongli's identity is not what I imagined? Then who is he?"

Lu Shiyuan noticed the subtle atmosphere and quickly stood up and said, "Everyone, eat first. I'll go out and check on Ganyu."

"Okay." Zhongli retracted his gaze and nodded.

So, Lu Shiyuan also walked towards the terrace. Through the plot of the game, he knew that Ganyu was a half-immortal who had dedicated more than three thousand years to Liyue. Although he did not know her before, as a Liyue person in this life, he always had a deep respect for Ganyu.

Therefore, he wanted to comfort this girl who was many years older than him.

Lu Shiyuan took out his cell phone, withdrew an item from his game backpack, then went up to the terrace and saw Ganyu leaning on the fence with both hands, gazing at the beautiful scenery of Liyue.

However, the girl's eyes were filled with sadness, as if she was thinking of something sad.

"Ganyu." Lu Shiyuan came to Ganyu and greeted the latter.

"Shi Yuan, why are you out too?" Gan Yu was a little surprised, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry for ruining everyone's mood for dinner."

"No, you're overthinking it." Lu Shiyuan waved his hand, "We're just worried about you."

"Worried about... me?" Gan Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after taking some time to adjust my mood."

"But I always feel that it's not that simple, judging from the look in your eyes." Lu Shiyuan said, "Do you have any worries... or concerns?" Gan Yu was silent.

"Go ahead, I won't tell anyone." Lu Shiyuan looked at the night view and said, "Rather than being depressed by keeping things to yourself, it's better to speak out and let me help you with some advice."

"Can I say it?"

"of course."

Ganyu was still a little hesitant, but in the end, she chose to speak out what was in her mind.

“The Emperor has passed away… This incident certainly makes me sad, but even without the Emperor, Liyue Harbor must continue to operate.

However, now that the Emperor has passed away, the "contract" signed between the immortals and Liyue has in fact come to an end, and Liyue will eventually become ruled by humans.

However, in this country ruled by humans, where should I, a hybrid of human and fairy, go?

I...I want to integrate into the human world, but will people definitely accept me? Will they reject me after learning my identity?"

Looking at Gan Yu's nervous and tangled expression, Lu Shiyuan laughed: "What? So you are worried about such a small matter."

"Hey! Is this a trivial matter?" Ganyu asked in surprise.

"Don't worry, the people of Liyue are not so xenophobic. We are so happy to have such a hardworking and capable elder sister staying in Yuehai Pavilion." Lu Shiyuan said with his hands spread out.

"Look at Yan Fei, as the most famous legal consultant in Liyue Harbor, she is very good at networking, has a very good relationship with businessmen and celebrities, and is very popular.

I haven't heard that she has the same troubles as you."

"Yes...Is that so." Ganyu blinked but still shook her head and said, "But I always feel like I can't fit in. I always feel lonely in that sea of ​​people."

"Being both a human and an immortal, it's inevitable to have this kind of confusion." Lu Shiyuan said sympathetically, "But I think your identity is really enviable.

Think about it, as a half-immortal, unlike real immortals, you cannot have long-term contact with mortals and can only guard them from afar.

Unlike mortals, whose life span is short, there will always be things that they don’t have time to do and they will die helplessly.

You don't have to endure the loneliness of an immortal, and you have a lot of time. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Maybe... that's the case." Gan Yu was somewhat shaken by what Lu Shiyuan said.

"Regarding the matter of feeling lonely in a crowd..." Lu Shiyuan pointed at himself, "There is me. If you feel lonely, come to me. I don't care about immortals or half-immortals."

"After all, I am the brother of Prince Yan's apprentice." Lu Shiyuan added silently in his heart.

"Really?" Ganyu was a little surprised and a little happy.

"As long as you don't mind." Lu Shiyuan smiled and took out the things he had just withdrawn from his mobile phone.

It was a clay figurine of an emperor, made by Zhongli himself.

"If you miss the Emperor, take this. It will make you feel like the Emperor is right beside you." Lu Shiyuan emphasized with a smile, "Keep it well. This thing is out of print."

Ganyu took the exquisite clay doll in the box in a daze, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

She hugged the clay doll box tightly in her arms, looked at Lu Shiyuan, and said in a soft and sticky voice with a little tremor: "Thank you, Shiyuan."
