I'm a male god in Liyue

"How's business at the store today?"

"very good."

Gan Yu chatted with Shen He for a few minutes before going into the store.

She saw Yao Yao and Qi Qi diligently wiping the table with rags, Zhu Zi mopping the floor, and Xia Zhi tidying up the cups at the table.

"Sister Gan Yu!"

"Yaoyao, Mr. Xia."

"Miss Gan Yu is here."

"Yes, I bought some fruit and pastries."

"Too polite."

Zhu Zi sensibly took the things and put them in the kitchen.

Gan Yu gently rolled up her sleeves, naturally took a rag, and joined in the cleaning.

With many hands making light work, the store was quickly cleaned up.

After everyone washed their hands, they sat together and ate the fruit and pastries that Gan Yu had bought.

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

Qiqi whispered a thank you, took a bite of the sunset fruit, and her eyes were full of nostalgia.

As for the pastries, although they are from a long-established brand in Liyue, everyone thinks they taste just average.

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

He set aside a small portion and placed it on the stove. As he left, he gently tapped the wall and then took the larger portion out.

Everyone was very satisfied; even Qiqi, who doesn't like hot food, ate two more pieces.

This is what pastry should be!

At that moment, a loud clap of thunder suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a heavy rain began to fall.

Looking at the rain-blurred streets outside, Gan Yu sighed softly, "I felt the weather was bad when I went out, so I brought an umbrella, and sure enough, it started raining."

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

"Hmm, I'm not going."

"Then you can stay tonight, and we'll play mahjong again."

"it is good."

After finishing the candied sunset fruit, and waiting for the rain to subside a bit, Shen He opened an umbrella, ready to take Yao Yao home.

Xia Zhi remembered and said, "The shop is closed tomorrow, Saturday. Yao Yao, remember to come too. I'll have Zhu Zi take you and Qi Qi to the shop to make some suitable uniforms."

Yao Yao asked curiously, "Is it the same beautiful dress that Sister Zhu Zi and Sister Shen He are wearing?"

Xia Zhi glanced at the uniforms worn by Zhu Zi and Shen He. They were nice, but the style was a bit mature and not suitable for little girls.

"Yes, the pattern style will be the same, only the design will be different."

"Okay! Yao Yao will come earlier tomorrow!"

After Yao Yao left and sat for a while, Xia Zhi also started preparing to cook dinner.

Walking into the kitchen, he saw that the plate on the stove where he had reserved a small portion of candied sunset fruit was now completely empty.

It seems Miss Akabane is quite satisfied with her meal.

The plate just looks a bit too clean; it even seems to reflect light.

Miss Akabane, could you have secretly licked the plate while she was alone in the kitchen?

It shouldn't be... right?

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

He cooked several dishes that evening, mostly vegetarian.

When Shen He returned and closed the shop door, Xia Zhi knocked on the wall again, inviting Miss Chi Yu to come and have dinner together.

Gan Yu was taken aback when she saw Chi Yu.

Xia Zhi helped introduce them to each other.

The two girls nodded, their eyes filled with a strange look, and greeted each other politely.

After dinner, Shen He went to wash the dishes, and Gan Yu, as the senior sister, also went to help her junior sister.

It's still raining outside, so we can't go for a walk. Zhu Zi brought out the mahjong set, and the four of them started playing.

Miss Akabane had a very good night's luck with the cards, winning several big hands in a row.

This time, Xia Zhi glanced at her hand and saw that it was very good, all of them were of the same suit (circles), and she was ready to win.

He glanced at the kitchen again; the dishes there had already been washed. So, without making a sound, he fed her the cards.

"One tube".

"eat!"

"Six barrels."

"Hu! A flush!"

Miss Akabane pushed the cards over, a bright smile spreading across her face.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"

"Boss, you seem to be having a bad run of luck tonight."

Xia Zhi looked helpless and said, "It seems I'm not suited to play cards tonight. Shen He, Miss Gan Yu, have you finished washing the dishes? You can play instead."

Shen He declined, saying, "Senior sister, you do it."

Gan Yu hadn't played mahjong for a week and was starting to miss it, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

Xia Zhi stood up and asked Gan Yu to sit down.

Zhu Zi said weakly, "Miss Gan Yu, why don't you fight? Then let's change the rules to fight to the death."

Akabane asked in surprise, "Fight to the death?"

Zhu Zi explained: "If one person wins a hand, and there are still tiles left to be drawn, the remaining three players must continue playing until all the tiles are drawn or until only one person remains without a winning hand."

Akabane understood: "I see. But Japanese mahjong is quite fun. We don't need to suddenly change the rules, do we?"

Zhu Zi hesitated, "But if we don't change the rules, Miss Gan Yu's luck with the cards is too good, and it will be difficult for us to play."

Akabane hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation: "It's okay, I'm having good luck with my cards too. Luck is a tricky thing, let's play first."

Gan Yu echoed seriously, "Yes, luck is hard to predict."

Zhu Zi glanced at Qi Qi, and seeing that she didn't object, he could only nod: "Then let's continue playing Japanese mahjong."

Shuffle the cards, arrange the cards, draw the cards.

Akabane looked at his hand and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. Very good, he had a one-way hand from the start, and it was also a hand without any terminal or 9 tiles.

This is in the bag!

Draw a card.

Ok?

Another six-pointer has been added?

Now I'm ready to win!

Luck is definitely on my side!

Miss Akabane was full of confidence and felt she had a great advantage, so she went straight for the A attack.

"East wind, stand upright!"

"Hu."

Gan Yu smiled slightly and pushed her cards over.

"A peerless hero with thirteen faces, serving twice as hard."

Akabane stared at her cards, his face filled with disbelief.

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

Shuffle the cards, arrange the cards, draw the cards.

Akabane looked at his hand and his expression brightened again. This hand was even better than the last one. He had a pair of white dragons and a pair of green dragons, giving him a great chance to make a big three dragons.

Hmph! Let me show you how to play Yakuman!
