I'm a male god in Liyue

Qin put down her teacup and stood up.

"Mr. Xia, please excuse me."

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go outside for a walk so as not to disturb Commander Qin while she's handling her official business."

Qin quickly said, "It's alright, Mr. Xia, there's no need for this. Your eyesight is poor, and if you go out alone, you might run into trouble... Especially these days, there are so many strangers from out of town in Mondstadt. You'd better stay here and wait for everyone to return..."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Commander Qin. Although I am blind, I am not so blind that I need someone to accompany me to walk even a few steps."

Qin shook her head: "That's not what I meant, Mr. Xia. You are the guest and I am the host. If I let you leave here alone like this, it would seem that I, as the host, am neglecting you, my guest, wouldn't it?"

Xia Zhi looked up: "So, what does the ensemble leader mean?"

Qin said, "You can continue to wait in the office while you have tea."

Xia Zhi asked, "Won't this distract the troupe leader from her work?"

Qin looked at him and said, "If you go outside, I will be constantly worried about your condition, and I won't be able to concentrate on my work."

Xia Zhi laughed and said, "Commander Qin, you are just too serious. You really are a knight... In that case, I'll stay here and keep you company."

Qin laughed too: "Mm."

She walked back to her desk and picked up the documents that had been moved to the floor and put them back on the desk.

She then sat down at the table, picked up her pen, and began to continue dealing with these numerous tasks.

The physical fatigue has been eliminated by the massage, and the mental fatigue has also subsided due to the incense. In addition, after drinking that strange tea called "Silver Thread Dew," my mind is active and my memory is clear.

Qin felt that she was in a better state than ever before, and she was able to handle these troublesome matters more easily than before.

Work efficiency has more than doubled.

Indeed, simply burying oneself in work is not enough.

Taking proper rest and maintaining your condition can actually help you achieve your goals sooner than staying up all night.

Qin lowered her head and wrote furiously. Sometimes she would look up and glance at Xia Zhi sitting not far away. Seeing him quietly drinking tea, she felt that he was a beautiful sight. She was slightly lost in thought, and then lowered her head to work again.

This is actually because Xia Zhi's charm level is too high.

Xia Zhi didn't pay much attention to Qin's occasional glances.

He didn't feel bored sitting there drinking tea. He opened the system panel and browsed the [Shop] with great interest, looking for anything worth buying.

He mainly focuses on the platinum and diamond price range.

Further up in the range, although the effects of those items were exceptionally tempting, they were beyond his current means, so looking at them was pointless.

The two people in the office were each engrossed in their own things.

At one moment, Xia Zhi suddenly heard Qin utter a soft murmur.

From his omniscient perspective, he saw that Qin was looking down at a thin piece of paper in her hand, her face showing difficulty and apparent distress.

Xia Zhi glanced curiously at the contents of the thin paper.

The above is a tedious and difficult administrative problem.

Qin must be racking her brains about how to properly resolve this political issue, which is why she has such an expression on her face.

Qin is still too young.

Even if she is capable, hardworking, and talented, she still lacks work experience.

Xia Zhi once learned a skill called "Government Affairs Master" from Gan Yu.

This is the result of Gan Yu handling an enormous amount of government affairs over thousands of years.

With this skill, Xia Zhi can also handle various government documents efficiently and proficiently, just like Gan Yu. For him, the government issue that Qin is currently struggling with is not a problem at all.

He only needed to glance at it to have a perfect solution in mind.

Of course, even though Xia Zhi already had a plan in mind, he couldn't just tell Qin like that.

He was blind after all, so it's hard to explain how he knew what was on the paper in her hand.

Moreover, this is a matter of Mondstadt politics, and he, an outsider from Liyue, has no right to interfere.

Xia Zhi silently withdrew his gaze and continued browsing the system's [Shop].

We strolled around for another ten minutes or so.

Xia Zhi glanced at Qin again and found that she was still holding the thin piece of paper in her hand, still pondering the political issue from before.

This girl... it seems she's fallen into some kind of misconception.

It's also possible that the buff from the [Silver Dew] she drank earlier had expired. After all, she had been working for almost an hour, and she might not have been able to adjust to the change in schedule, causing her thinking to become "sluggish".

Xia Zhi looked at the teapot on the table.

This mechanical device from Liuyun has the ability to keep tea warm.

Xia Zhi took out two more small cakes from her inventory.

It's the same kind of cream cake he gave Charlene to eat in the snow mountain before. It's mainly for people to eat when they get hungry while traveling, but it's also suitable as a midday tea snack now.

Xia Zhi placed two small cakes on the table and asked, "Commander Qin, you've been working for quite a while, why don't you come and have a cup of tea first?"

Upon hearing this, Qin shifted her attention from the paper in her hand to Xia Zhi and the cake that had suddenly appeared on the table.

She had been agonizing over this problem for over ten minutes, and she was starting to feel anxious and frustrated.

Instead of continuing to agonize over this, why not stop and have a cup of tea and take a break?

As for whether the cake looked good or tasted good and she suddenly had a craving for cake, that didn't matter. The main thing was that she was indeed a little thirsty.

Qin put down the paper in her hand and replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Xia."

She stood up and couldn't help but stretch her arms and body.

After sitting for a long time, stretching like this can make you feel very comfortable.

This is a small habit that Qin developed after becoming the acting leader of the group.

Normally, when there's no one in the office, she wouldn't care about such image issues.

But now that she had finished doing this, she suddenly realized that Mr. Xia was still next to her.

Qin quickly lowered her hand and looked at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi remained calm as he poured tea, seemingly completely unaware of her subtle action.

Yes, Mr. Xia is blind... That's alright then.

Qin relaxed again.

"Commander Qin, the tea is ready."

"Ah."

Qin smiled and walked over, sitting down at the tea table.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and found the tea to be sweet and refreshing, which made her feel her thoughts becoming strange once again.

She picked up the plate, took a small spoon, and ate another bite of the cream cake. The smooth texture and sweet taste made her feel incredibly happy.

"Captain Qin, how are you feeling?"

"Delicious! I wonder where you bought this cake?"

Even someone with Lian Qin's personality couldn't resist it, and even couldn't help but ask about the origin of the cake. Sweets really do have a special effect on girls.

"It wasn't bought, I made it myself."

"what?"

Qin was a little surprised; she looked down at the exquisite cake on the plate.

"This... Mr. Xia actually made it himself?"

"Yes, even though I can't see, I can still do many things well."

Xia Zhi's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

This reminded Qin of Xia Zhi's earlier comment that he wanted to go out for a walk.

It seems he genuinely wanted to go outside for a walk, and he wasn't worried about anything happening to him. It's more like I was worrying too much.

Qin blushed slightly and said, "Mr. Xia is very capable."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you like it, Commander Qin. I was afraid you would find it too sweet."

"No, no, the texture is just right now, it melts in your mouth, and the touch of mint inside is even more wonderful."

"Captain Qin actually detected it? Does Captain Qin also know how to bake cakes?"

"I used to be able to do it, but I haven't done it in a long time..."

"Commander Qin is not only so skilled in swordsmanship, but also proficient in such household chores. She is quite remarkable."

"It's mainly because my family was very strict when I was young..."

The two chatted happily.

Qin quickly finished the cake. A little reluctantly, she put down her spoon and then picked up her teacup to drink the rest of the tea.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Xia. I'll go back to work now."
