Genshin Impact: I'm living the life of a god in Liyue

Ganyu left Yuehai Pavilion, went home to take a bath, and changed clothes.

When leaving, she looked at the sky and saw dark clouds suddenly gathering in the clear sky for no apparent reason.

Going to rain again?

The weather these past few days has been unusual.

Ganyu went back inside to get an umbrella, bought some fresh sunset fruit and pastries from the street, and only arrived at Summer Shop when it was six o'clock.

Shenhe was sweeping at the entrance, looked up seeing her figure, and softly greeted: "Senior Sister is here."

Ganyu smiled and nodded: "Mm, Junior Sister, you're done for the day?"

"Just finished."

"Was business good today?"

"Very good."

Ganyu chatted briefly with Shenhe and walked into the shop.

She saw Yaoyao and Qiqi seriously wiping tables with cloths, Zhu Zi mopping the floor, and Xia Zhi organizing cups at the counter.

"Sister Ganyu!"

"Yaoyao, Mr. Xia."

"Ah, Miss Ganyu is here."

"Mm, I bought some fruit and pastries."

"You're too kind."

Zhu Zi thoughtfully took them and brought them to the kitchen.

Ganyu gently rolled up her sleeves, naturally picked up a cloth, and helped clean.

Many hands make light work, and soon the shop was spotless.

Everyone washed their hands, sat together, and ate the fruit and pastries Ganyu bought.

Xia Zhi took a sunset fruit and handed it to Qiqi first.

Qiqi softly said thanks, hugged the sunset fruit and took a bite, her eyes full of nostalgia.

As for the pastries, though they were from a well-known Liyue shop, everyone found the taste ordinary.

Xia Zhi smiled, went to the kitchen, cut up the remaining sunset fruit and made candied sunset fruit.

He set aside a small portion on the stove, knocked gently on the wall as he left, then brought out the larger portion.

Everyone was satisfied, even Qiqi who didn't like hot food ate two extra pieces.

This is what pastries should be!

At this moment, a sudden thunderclap came from outside.

Then heavy rain started falling.

Ganyu looked at the rain-blurred street outside and sighed lightly: "I felt the weather wasn't good when leaving, so I specially brought an umbrella. Sure enough, it's raining."

Qiqi stared blankly at the heavy rain until Zhu Zi beside her smiled and gently nudged her shoulder: "Qiqi, with such heavy rain, you don't need to gather herbs tonight, right?"

"Mm, not going."

"Then stay over again tonight, we can play more mahjong."

"Okay."

After finishing the candied sunset fruit, when the rain lightened somewhat, Shenhe opened an umbrella, preparing to take Yaoyao home.

Xia Zhi remembered something and said: "Tomorrow's Saturday, shop's closed. Yaoyao remember to come too, I'll have Zhu Zi take you and Qiqi to get proper uniforms made."

Yaoyao asked curiously: "Like the pretty clothes Sister Zhu Zi and Sister Shenhe are wearing?"

Xia Zhi "looked" at Zhu Zi and Shenhe's uniforms - they looked good but the style was a bit mature, not suitable for little girls.

"Mm, the pattern style will be the same, but the design will be different."

"Okay! Yaoyao will come early tomorrow!"

After Yaoyao left and they sat for a while, Xia Zhi needed to start preparing dinner.

Entering the kitchen, he saw the plate where he had left a small portion of candied sunset fruit on the stove was completely empty.

Seems Miss Chi Yu enjoyed it very much.

But the plate looked unusually clean, almost reflective.

Could Miss Chi Yu have secretly licked the plate clean when she was alone in the kitchen?

Surely... not?

Xia Zhi picked up the plate with a strange expression and set it aside.

He made several extra dishes for dinner, mainly vegetarian ones.

When Shenhe returned and the shop door was closed, Xia Zhi knocked on the wall again, inviting Miss Chi Yu to join them for dinner.

Ganyu was startled when she saw Chi Yu.

Xia Zhi helped introduce them to each other.

The two women nodded, with somewhat strange looks in their eyes, and politely greeted each other.

After dinner, Shenhe went to wash dishes, and Ganyu as senior sister went to help her junior sister.

It was still raining outside so they couldn't go for a walk. Zhu Zi brought out the mahjong set and four people started playing.

Tonight Miss Chi Yu's luck was very good, winning several big hands in a row.

This hand, Xia Zhi "looked" at her tiles and saw they were good again - a Pure Suit of circles, waiting for one tile.

He glanced at the kitchen, saw the dishes were done, and quietly fed her a tile.

"One Circle."

"Take it!"

"Six Circles."

"Win! Pure Suit!"

Miss Chi Yu revealed her tiles, unable to hold back a brilliant smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"Boss, your luck doesn't seem good tonight."

Xia Zhi looked helpless and said: "Seems I'm not suited for playing tonight. Shenhe, Miss Ganyu, finished with the dishes? Come take over."

Shenhe demurred: "Senior Sister should play."

Ganyu hadn't played mahjong for a week and was somewhat eager, so nodded: "Alright."

Xia Zhi stood up, letting Ganyu sit down.

Zhu Zi said weakly: "Miss Ganyu is playing... should we change to Battle to the Death rules?"

Chi Yu was puzzled: "Battle to the Death?"

Zhu Zi explained: "It means after someone wins, if there are still tiles left, the remaining three people continue playing until all tiles are drawn or only one person hasn't won."

Chi Yu understood: "Oh, I see. But Japanese mahjong is fun too, no need to suddenly change rules, right?"

Zhu Zi looked troubled: "But without changing rules, Miss Ganyu's luck is too good, it's hard for us to play."

Chi Yu hadn't yet realized the severity of the situation: "It's fine, my luck is good too. Luck is unpredictable, let's just play first."

Ganyu seriously agreed: "Yes, luck is unpredictable."

Zhu Zi looked at Qiqi, saw she didn't object either, and could only nod: "Then let's continue with Japanese rules."

Shuffle tiles, build walls, draw tiles.

Chi Yu looked at her tiles, expression brightening - good, starting with one wait, and it's All Simples.

This hand is sure to win!

Draw tile.

Hm?

Another Six Characters?

So I'm ready to win now?

Luck really is on my side!

Miss Chi Yu was feeling confident, thinking she had a big advantage, and went straight for it.

"East Wind, Riichi!"

"Win."

Ganyu smiled slightly, revealing her tiles.

"Thirteen Orphans Thirteen-Wait, Double Yakuman."

Chi Yu looked at her tiles in disbelief.

After a moment, she calmed down: "Miss Ganyu's luck is indeed very good. Let's play again."

Shuffle tiles, build walls, draw tiles.

Chi Yu looked at her tiles, expression brightening again - this hand was even better than the last, a pair of White Dragons, a pair of Green Dragons, great chance for Big Three Dragons.

Hmph! I'll get a Yakuman too!

Thinking this, Chi Yu discarded a useless tile: "One Character."

"Win."

Ganyu smiled lightly, revealing her tiles.

"Pure Nine Gates, Double Yakuman."

Chi Yu's expression froze.

"Again."

"Win, Four Concealed Triplets, Yakuman."

"Uh..."

"Win, All Terminals, Yakuman."

"..."

"Win, Little Four Winds, Yakuman."

Miss Chi Yu's face was ashen.

She was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Let's play Battle to the Death after all."
