I'm a male god in Liyue

Yao Yao's eyes lit up as she listened: "Fireworks!"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes, although I can't see them, Zhu Zi said that the fireworks at sea are very beautiful."

Zhu Zi immediately said, "Yes! It's very beautiful!"

Yao Yao's eyes immediately became brighter.

Grandma Ping looked at her and smiled, "If Yao Yao wants to go see it, then go with Mr. Xia."

"Where's the master?"

"I won't go, old woman, so as not to spoil your fun."

"Master, don't you want to see some beautiful fireworks?"

“Master watches it every year, but he’s not as keen on watching it anymore.” Grandma Ping’s tone suddenly became a little wistful. “Yaoyao, go ahead and have fun. It’s okay if it’s a little late. Your sister Shenhe will bring you back later.”

Yao Yao nodded obediently: "Okay."

Shen He replied earnestly, "Grandma, I understand."

So, tonight's walking group has gained another lively and adorable little girl.

The process was the same as usual: if we saw something we hadn't tried before, we'd go and try it; if we saw something interesting, we'd buy it to play with.

Yao Yao was holding a bunch of things and smiling happily.

Children from strict families are often like this: if they go shopping with their elders, they will always say that this food is bad or that the purchase is useless. Although they go to many places, they are often very bored.

It's a different story if you go shopping with your older siblings. They'll buy you whatever you like, regardless of whether it's useful or not. They'll spoil you rotten.

We strolled all the way to the pier, and it was already late at night.

Everyone leaned against the railing, enjoying the sea breeze, chatting and laughing as they waited for the fireworks to go off.

Yao Yao tilted her little face up, gazing at the dazzling colors that suddenly bloomed in the night sky, and couldn't help but slightly open her mouth: "Wow! So beautiful!..."

Although Xia Zhi couldn't see it, he could still catch a glimpse of fireworks through the sea.

He lowered his head, a smile on his face.

Yao Yao happened to turn her head and saw him like this, so she couldn't help but think that he was forcing a smile.

Everyone was enjoying the fireworks, but the older boy couldn't see anything at all...

The little girl couldn't bear to see such human suffering, especially from people she knew.

The smile on her face vanished instantly, and she reached out her small hand to take Xia Zhi's hand.

Xia Zhi was taken aback, and then heard Yao Yao gently comfort him in a very mature tone.

"Big brother, it's alright. Once your eyes are better, we'll come and watch the fireworks together again next year and the year after."

Xia Zhi smiled gently and clenched the small, soft hand in her palm.

"Ah."

The little girl is so lovable.

After watching the fireworks at the pier, everyone prepared to go back.

Before they had gone far, Yao Yao suddenly looked at a lonely figure in the distance and called out uncertainly, "Sister Gan Yu!"

The figure stopped and turned around at the sound: "Yao Yao?"

Her voice was very pleasant, with an ethereal quality, and she seemed to be a girl, but for some reason, there was a hint of sadness and confusion in her tone.

They were too far apart for Xia Zhi to see her, but he noticed that Shen He beside him was looking into the distance, and his expression changed slightly.

Could Shen He possibly recognize this girl named "Gan Yu"?

Yao Yao ran over there, and Xia Zhi followed suit.

A girl with long blue hair finally entered his detection range.

Her long hair was tied back into a ponytail that hung naturally, with a single, upturned ahoge (a single strand of hair sticking up) on top of her head. A pair of black and red horns extended outwards from the sides of her head. She wore a short white cheongsam with gold embellishments, over which was a tight-fitting backless bodysuit covered by black stockings with gold embellishments on the hoops. Her hands were covered by white arm sleeves with double-layered cuffs, the inner layer flaring outwards. Her hands were covered by long black gloves, the forearms tinting with a gradient blue. A golden bell hung from the stand-up collar of her dress, and a red rope knot tied around her waist held an ice-elemental Eye of God.

Looking at the horns on her head, Xia Zhi immediately thought of Miss Yan Fei. Although the shape and color of the horns were different, she should have the same immortal bloodline as Miss Yan Fei.

But none of that matters. What matters is that she has a golden progress bar hanging on her body.

Progress: [0%]

Yao Yao is truly a lucky little angel!

Chapter 101 Miss Shen He's Divine Assistance

Ganyu...

Xia Zhi looked at the blue-haired girl and suddenly felt that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

He thought back carefully and realized that he seemed to have heard Brother Liu mention it when they were having dinner together.

If it is the same person, then her identity should be the chief secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars.

Such an important person, strolling alone at the dock so late at night, could he have encountered some trouble?

As Xia Zhi pondered this, he walked towards her with the others.

Yao Yao had already jumped into Gan Yu's arms. Such an intimate gesture showed that Yao Yao and this older sister had a very good relationship.

"Sister Ganyu, Yaoyao hasn't seen you for so many days! I miss you so much!"

"Ah."

"Is Sister Gan Yu also out to watch the fireworks?"

"……Um."

"Sister Gan Yu looks very tired. Yue Haiting must have had a lot of work today too."

"..."

Gan Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, even Yao Yao noticed that something seemed off about her.

"Sister Gan Yu? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

Gan Yu forced a smile and gently patted Yao Yao's head.

Shen He had already walked over and greeted Gan Yu softly, "Senior Sister Gan Yu."

Gan Yu looked at Shen He and nodded: "Junior Sister Shen He, I didn't expect to see you here."

Xia Zhi was somewhat surprised to hear how the two addressed each other.

Senior and junior sisters...

So, this Miss Gan Yu is also Little Crane's apprentice?

"When I last saw Sister Ganyu delivering the letter at Mount Aozang, she looked quite well. How come she looks so depressed now?"

"...I'm fine."

"But has someone bullied you, Senior Sister? Tell me, and I'll help you resolve it."

Xia Zhi glanced at Shen He, doubting whether her definition of "solution" was truly literal.

Gan Yu shook her head and said, "No, I just have some things on my mind that I haven't completely let go of, so I'm feeling a little anxious. I'll be fine after a while. Thank you for your concern."

"Sister Ganyu."

Yao Yao looked up at Gan Yu with a worried look in her eyes.

Gan Yu couldn't help but reach out and pat the little girl's head again, then turned to look at Xia Zhi and Zhu Zi standing next to Shen He.

"Who are you two?"

“We are Ms. Shen He’s friends. My name is Xia Zhi and this is Ms. Zhu Zi.”

"Shen He's friend?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Gan Yu's eyes, and then she introduced herself very politely.

"Hello, my name is Gan Yu."

His tone was unhurried, gentle, and calm, yet carried a subtle sense of distance.

Xia Zhi felt that this was not her original personality, but rather a habit formed from being in a superior position for a long time.

"Sister Gan Yu, did you come out alone?"

"Ah."

"We just finished our walk and are getting ready to head back. You and Yao Yao can go back to Yujingtai together!"

"I'm not going back."

"But it's already very late. Sister Gan Yu has a lot of work to do every day. If she doesn't rest early, she won't have any energy to do things tomorrow!"

"It's alright... I'm actually already preparing to leave this world."
