Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

As for the fact that the two were holding hands, he completely ignored it.

Isn't it natural for these two to be holding hands?

"It's nothing. It's rare for Paimon to care about me like this." Jiang Bai reached out and pushed her crown.

Paimon quickly supported her with his hand, pouting as he retorted, "What? I care about you a lot too."

Jiang Bai ignored her and looked at Kong and Xiao, "We'll treat everyone to dinner at Xinyuexuan tonight."

Paimon's eyes lit up when he heard there was a big meal.

"Yay! A feast!"

"I won't go." Xiao directly declined the invitation.

"No, they're all acquaintances, it's okay!"

"No, the karma of a Yaksha is harmful to mortals. Besides, I don't like that kind of lively atmosphere."

After saying that, Xiao disappeared without giving Jiang Bai any chance to bother him anymore.

"This guy runs really fast."

"When did you two get together?" Air Conditioner Kan's gaze fell on them.

He's been busy in the Lapis Lazuli since he returned to Liyue, so he really doesn't know when the two of them got together.

"Huh? What do you mean, 'together'?" Paimon asked, confused.

“We’ve always been together,” Jiang Bai replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

“Yeah, aren’t they always together?” Paimon looked at Kong, puzzled, not understanding why he asked that.

"..."

Kong was a bit speechless, but he didn't explain to Paimon what a romantic relationship was.

It's better for children to be innocent.

There's no need to delve into the sordid affairs among adults.

Seeing Paimon's naive demeanor, Hu Tao found it rather amusing.

She deliberately held Jiang Bai's hand and waved it in front of her.

"Huh? Huh!"

Paimon finally noticed the difference, and his voice even changed slightly.

"Got it?"

"I think I understand..." Paimon scratched his head, feeling like he understood, but also like he didn't.

"Good, remember to come early for the big dinner tonight!"

In addition to inviting Xiangling, Xingqiu, and Chongyun using the telepathic device, Hu Tao also specially invited Xin Yan and Yun Jin, who were also close friends of hers.

She also casually asked Shen He if he wanted to come over for dinner.

However, Jueyun Karst is quite far from Liyue Harbor, so even if one wanted to come, it would be impossible to reach it in time.

evening.

The large private room at Xinyuexuan was bustling with activity, filled with people.

Kong and Paimon pushed open the door and entered.

"So many people!"

Paimon's gaze swept over the people present. Although there were many people, most of them were people he knew.

"Oh! Traveler and Paimon? When did you return from Inazuma?"

"I just came back a while ago. Hehe, everyone's here! It's been so long since I've seen you all!"

Paimon was very happy to see so many friends.

"Come, come, Flying Dwarf Violet, sit next to me." Yi Dou pulled out a chair and beckoned to Paimon.

"They're here, they're here."

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, Paimon drooled, no longer caring about the fact that Yi Dou called him Flying Dwarf Violet.

"Hey Hu Tao, why did you suddenly invite so many people over for dinner today? Is there something important to announce?"

Xingqiu, holding a teacup, looked at Hu Tao, who was sitting in the main seat, with a smile that was hard to decipher.

He was very relaxed, even though he wasn't familiar with some of the people in the room.

"Can't I invite you over for dinner if there's nothing wrong?"

"Of course. But there's a saying, isn't there? Something fishy is bound to happen."

"Hu Tao invited us to dinner, she must have something important to announce." Xiangling's smile was comical, and the teasing was obvious.

The two of them were walking hand in hand down the street today without any attempt to hide it. There are quite a few people in Liyue Harbor who recognize them, and she found out about it in the time it takes to eat lunch.

Xiangling was naturally delighted with this.

Of course, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to tease his friend.

"Lulu~" Guoba waved its little paws.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Guoba was just very happy.

"Oh dear, what's the rush? The dishes aren't all served yet, Young Master Xingqiu, are you in such a hurry to eat the main course?" Hu Tao smiled, showing no embarrassment at being teased.

What a joke! She's the 77th generation head of the Rebirth Hall.

How could I possibly blush over such a trivial matter?

The only one at the entire dinner table who seemed completely oblivious to what was happening around him was Chongyun.

He looked at Xingqiu, then at Hutao, then at Xiangling, and really couldn't understand what they were talking about.

"People are in high spirits when they have good things happening. The walnuts look especially different today," Yun Jin said with a smile.

“Yes, the smile on his face never stopped,” Xin Yan echoed.

Walnut put her hands on her hips and said, "What? You think I can't laugh just because I'm in a good mood?"

Several people covered their mouths, and everything was understood without being said.

"Why hasn't our other protagonist arrived yet?" Kong noticed that the chair next to Hu Tao was still empty, and Jiang Bairen was nowhere to be seen.

"Oh right, where's Jiang Bai?" Paimon finally realized that Jiang Bai hadn't arrived yet.

"He said he was going to make shrimp dumplings for the master of this hall, and he's in the kitchen."

Although she didn't know why Jiang Bai suddenly wanted to make shrimp dumplings for her, Hu Tao was still very happy to be able to eat shrimp dumplings made by Jiang Bai himself.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the last dish is served."

Jiang Bai carried in a large bowl of shrimp dumplings and placed it in front of Hu Tao.

From then on, the large round table was always full.

Looking at Jiang Bai, Hu Tao couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.

The two looked at each other without saying a word, yet an invisible, enchanting atmosphere flowed between them.

"I haven't eaten yet, but I feel a little full?" Ichidou rubbed his stomach.

"Hurry up and announce it! We don't want to be stuffed before we've even eaten anything," Xingqiu egged them on.

Yes, yes!

Amidst the bewildered, excited, or teasing gazes of the crowd, Hu Tao stood up and coughed twice with restraint.

"Ahem, let me introduce you all to my lover, Jiang Bai!"

Jiang Bai took Hu Tao's hand and gave her a shy smile.

Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed to have made such a big fuss!

"Wow~"

Immediately, cheers erupted from the dinner table.

Chapter 634 I was actually teased

If we're talking about who was happiest when Jiang Bai and Hu Tao were together, it would undoubtedly be Chong Yun.

There was nothing he could do; these two were flirting and their antics had dragged him, an innocent bystander, into it.

That fabricated fiancé status made Jiang Bai, who was extremely jealous, sour whenever she saw him.

Now things are much better. The vinegar jar is filled with honey, and he won't make things difficult for that poor passerby anymore.

Overjoyed, he picked up the teacup in front of him and chugged it down. But his joy turned to sorrow; as soon as the hot tea entered his mouth, he felt dizzy and lost consciousness.

When Chongyun's Pure Yang Body activated, he instantly became a completely different person.

He stood up abruptly, waved his hand, and shouted towards the door of the private room:

"Waiter, bring the wine! Your best wine!"

His unrestrained and unconventional demeanor was completely different from his usual self.

Before the waiter could finish serving the wine, he pulled out a chair, took two steps to Jiang Bai's side, put his arm around Jiang Bai's shoulder like a close friend, and punched him on the shoulder as if to vent his past grievances.

"Jiang Bai, are you happy today?"

"Oh dear, oh dear, look how red your face is, are you shy?"

"Look at the way you were looking at the walnuts just now, you were practically drooling!"

Jiang Bai stared at him in disbelief.

Is Chongyun flirting with him?

Or is she dropping the pretense and deliberately getting revenge on him?

He knew that Chongyun's illness was absurd, but this was just too absurd!

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Chongyun, Xingqiu quickly pulled him back to prevent him from saying anything more outrageous.

"Hey, take it easy, take it easy."

At this moment, Chongyun was far from rational. He looked at Xingqiu warily and asked, "Why are you pulling me? Are you planning to secretly feed me Jueyun Pepper?"

"I'm telling you, I might fall for it the first time, the second time, but I absolutely won't fall for it the third time!"

Chongyun was like a drunkard, his words were incoherent, but he still seemed very sober.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Xingqiu said frankly, indicating that he would never do such a thing.

Chongyun carefully observed his expression and nodded seriously.

"You don't seem like it, so I believe you..."

Jiang Bai's lips twitched.

Why is Chongyun, who has a pure Yang constitution, still so easily deceived?

Is this the simplicity and straightforwardness ingrained in one's bones?

How could someone so innocent and straightforward say something flirtatious to him just now?

Could it be that he persecuted her too much?

But he didn't do anything to him...

Jiang Bai couldn't recall how creepy the look in his eyes had been after Hu Tao said she had a "fiancé".

The waiter outside brought over a jar of wine. Chongyun immediately picked up the jar, poured the wine into a bowl, and put his arm around Jiang Bai's neck, trying to force him to drink it.

"Today is your big day, let's drink until we drop!"

Jiang Bai struggled to avoid the bowl he was about to shove into his mouth. "What kind of joyous occasion is this? You're exaggerating a bit too much..."

I just informed a friend that they got together, how did it turn into a joyous occasion?

"Why not on a joyous occasion? Come on, drink up!" Chongyun was very stubborn in trying to get Jiang Bai to drink.

Jiang Bai took the bowl from his hand, drank a mouthful, and pulled him to Yi Dou's side, preparing to shift the blame.
