Help I Reincarnated in Genshin and Ganyu Keeps Feeding Me Coconut Milk

Chapter 61: Your Girlfriend and Your Mom Fall Into Water—Who Do You Save First?



After delivering the last sack of rice, Eula didn't head straight back to Mondstadt.

Before she left, Acting Grandmaster Jean had pulled her aside and said, "Eula, I'd like to deepen our cooperation with Liyue. Stay there for a while and do some... observation work for me."

Eula, of course, saw right through it.

This was Jean's not-so-subtle way of gifting her a vacation—knowing Eula wouldn't accept rest unless it was wrapped in an official mission. A little kindness, disguised with politics, just the way Eula liked it.

While chatting with Yanfei, the conversation naturally veered toward Xu Zheng.

"I wonder how little Xu Zheng is doing," Yanfei mused. "He made my legs go numb last time, and I haven't seen him since!"

Eula blinked, her mind flashing to the boy's silhouette during that chaotic battle. "You don't think he got hurt, do you? That fight was pretty intense."

Yanfei grinned. "Let's go check on him! I'll say it's because you missed him. How about that?"

Eula narrowed her eyes. "...I'm writing this grudge down."

Just then, Xu Zheng quietly crept up behind Yanfei and covered her eyes with both hands.

He mentally summoned up the voice of his younger self, putting on the most innocent tone he could muster.

"Yanfei jie-jie~ Did you miss me?"

Yanfei's eyes sparkled. "Little Xu Zheng?!"

But something didn't add up.

The boy's voice was familiar—but the height? And these hands covering her eyes were... way too big!

Wait a second.

Was this a creep?! A lecher? A shameless rogue?!

Yanfei's brain kicked into law mode, her mouth already launching into a Liyue Code citation: "According to article 1082 of the Liyue Penal Code, any act of molest—"

Before she could finish, the hand moved away and a voice interrupted her:

"Yanfei Auntie, come with me."

Yanfei froze.

That tone... that insult...

It was him!

Only one person in all of Liyue dared call her "Auntie" with such righteous confidence.

This damn brat!

Am I really that old?!

Standing beside her, Eula observed the whole thing with arms folded.

She recognized that look, that voice, and that line. There was only one "little Xu Zheng" who had the audacity to mess with Yanfei like this.

"Come on," Eula said, smirking. "Let's follow him."

Inside the private room, they found Ganyu already there—looking just as confused.

Cue the usual round of long-winded explanations.

The snapshot camera captured another round of awkward-yet-sweet memories.

As everything finally made sense, Yanfei suddenly remembered a certain moment.

That day when Xu Zheng had gotten up from resting on her lap pillow...

Xu Zheng: Thanks, Yanfei jie-jie. I really like you!

Yanfei (flustered): Y-you're too young to say things like that!

So...

Does this count as a prophecy fulfilled?

He's not a little kid anymore.

Does that mean it's not too early now?

The thought made her cheeks heat up.

Yanfei whispered under her breath, "...Would he still like me now that he's all grown up?"

Before her spiral of thoughts could go deeper, Xiangling burst through the door.

"Dinner's here!"

Just like that, Xu Zheng, Ganyu, Eula, Yanfei, and Xiangling had themselves another little gathering.

"Let's take a group photo!" Xu Zheng grinned.

That was when he remembered a certain unfinished task in his system log:

Mission Objective: Capture Beautiful Scenery

Description: Liyue has so many beautiful sights—capture them all.

Requirement: Take four photos. The first three must be different scenic views. The fourth must contain all three.

Reward: 20 Primogems

...Do beautiful girls count as scenery?

Time to find out.

Click.

A group photo. All smiles, all angles.

Task Complete. 20 Primogems received.

Xu Zheng nodded with a knowing smirk.

System, you're as shameless as I am.

He took individual pictures of each of the three girls—Yanfei, Ganyu, and Eula—and then a fourth group shot.

Boom. Mission complete.

His gem stash was growing. Just a few more tasks until he hit the Primogem cap.

Time to grind those dailies.

Daily Task 1: Interact with three Vision holders.

Daily Task 2: Interact with three ordinary citizens.

Daily Task 3: Study Liyue law for one hour.

Daily Task 4: Complete the above three to auto-clear this one.

Tasks 1 and 2 were already passively cleared just by hanging out with the girls.

Now only the law study remained.

"Yanfei jie-jie," Xu Zheng said, all honey-voiced and angelic.

Yanfei looked at him with narrowed eyes. She'd caught on to the pattern.

Whenever this brat wanted something, she was "jie-jie."

And when he didn't?

She was "Auntie."

Manipulative little bastard.

She wasn't falling for it. Not this time.

She crossed her arms and turned away.

"I'm not dumb, Xu Zheng," she muttered. "You won't get me with flattery today."

"But~ you took me as a disciple," he pouted, "and you've never even taught me law properly! So... can we maybe do a one-hour lesson today?"

That... actually sounded reasonable.

Damn it.

Yanfei cursed herself for being logical and reluctantly agreed. "Fine. But only for one hour."

Eula watched from the side, quietly amused. She didn't need to hear Yanfei's thoughts to know she'd already been totally played.

Especially since the moment Xu Zheng called her jie-jie, Yanfei had been smiling like an idiot.

"I suppose I could spare an hour," Yanfei said with exaggerated reluctance.

—One hour later—

Yanfei sat slumped in her chair, dazed.

She had been destroyed.

Law wasn't just about memory—it required analytical thinking, loophole detection, argument crafting...

And Xu Zheng had all of it. Plus the memory of a freaking camera.

His stats, his talents, his cheats... They were all kicking in full throttle now.

Still, memory alone wasn't the scary part.

The scary part?

Xu Zheng could actually think like a lawyer. And a devious one at that.

Case in point:

The scenario—Your girlfriend and your mom fall into the water at the same time. Who do you save?

Xu Zheng's answer?

"Save Mom."

Justification:

"According to Article 1683 of the Liyue Penal Code, saving your mother is a legal obligation. Failing to do so constitutes intentional murder by omission.

Whereas saving your girlfriend is a moral choice—not a legal one.

So, to avoid breaking the law... I'd have to let my girlfriend go."

Yanfei was speechless.

She felt like she'd just been slapped by the Constitution itself.

An hour later, Xiangling came in with flower tea.

"Xu Zheng, try this blend!"

Since Liyue's tea traditions were still a work in progress, discovering what flowers worked and which ones didn't was a trial-and-error affair.

Xu Zheng took a sip, then turned to Ganyu with a grin.

"Master, how about we take a walk to Bubu Pharmacy? I bet Baizhu and Qiqi would know a lot more about these flowers."
