"I can tell...this is Boss Xia from the Summer Store, right?"

"I am, you are Diona's father?"

"Well, my name is Durav, and I am a hunter from Qingquan Town. My little girl has caused you trouble these days."

"No!"

"It's nothing to cause trouble. Diona has done a good job in the store. Thank you for coming all the way. Come and sit in the store."

"Thank you."

Durav walked into the store and was immediately attracted by the aroma of instant noodles. He couldn't help but sniff and looked at the food boxes on the table.

"This is also an employee of our store, Miss Zhuzi, and this is Diona's father, Mr. Duraf."

"Oh, hello, Miss Zhuzi."

Zhuzi stood up quickly: "Hello, Mr. Duraf."

Diona puffed her cheeks and walked behind her father. She seemed unhappy, but her tail behind her stood up honestly and swayed back and forth.

"Mr. Durav just arrived in Liyue today?"

"Well, as soon as I entered the city, I came directly here."

"You must not have eaten, then? We are eating instant noodles. If you don't mind, you can also try it?"

"Thank you."

"Diona, go to the kitchen and get another instant noodles."

"Oh! Dad, if you are hungry, eat my portion first!"

Durav nodded happily and said, "Okay."

After a while, Durav drank all the noodle soup in the food box, looked up and saw everyone looking at him, and couldn't help but blush: "I made everyone laugh."

"It doesn't matter. If Mr. Durav is not full, you can have another box. We made quite a lot today."

"Then, thank you..."

Durav nodded sheepishly and felt a little emotional.

"Mr. Xia's cooking skills are much better than Miss Xiangling said..."

Xia Zhi was a little curious: "Xiang Ling? Mr. Duraf has seen her?"

"Well, Miss Xiangling passed by our Qingquan Town a few days ago. I heard that she was the new chef king, so I wanted to ask her to help promote the meat in the town. Later, she also had a competition with Bullock, the best chef in our town. She participated in a cooking competition. She won the competition easily, but when faced with everyone's praise, she modestly said that she was still far behind, and then she mentioned your name, Mr. Xia..."

"I see, is Xiangling okay?"

"Well, she seemed very energetic, and then she left Qingquan Town and went to Mondstadt. She was also very nice. She treated us all to some rainbow juice, and she also helped me find a grandfather who lived hundreds of years ago... …”

"??"

"It's really unbelievable to say this, but it's true. At that time, Xiangling and Bullock made an appointment for a cooking competition, so they took Guo Ba outside to look for ingredients. She said that she accidentally entered an underground ruins. Inside, she met a frozen tree, many frozen wild boars, and a hunter who was almost frozen. She solved the frozen tree and returned with the hunter with the meat of the wild boar that had been extinct for more than 300 years. Qingquan Town, but none of us knew him. It wasn’t until he said his name was Olaf that I remembered that there was such a name in the family tree, but it was also hundreds of years ago..."

Diona opened her eyes wide: "Then isn't he my great-great-great-grandfather?"

Durav nodded: "Yes."

Xia Zhi felt that he had learned a lot, so he treated Durav to another box of instant noodles, a glass of rainbow juice, and chatted for a while.

It was getting dark at this time, and Durav stood up to say goodbye and prepare to find a hotel to stay.

Xia Zhi invited him to come to the store for lunch tomorrow, and Duraf readily agreed.

Diona stood at the door, looking at her father's retreating back, looking a little quiet.

Zhuzi suddenly said curiously: "Diona."

"Ok?"

"Didn't you say that your father is an alcoholic? I see he doesn't have a wine bottle with him."

"Huh? Yes! Why is his wine bottle missing?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "He said before that Xiang Ling invited them to drink rainbow juice. It's probably because of this that he has stopped drinking."

"?!"

"So, Diona, your wish has come true now, and you don't have to stay in the store anymore."

Diona was stunned for a moment and shook her head quickly.

"No, no!...I will not go back on the labor contract I signed just this morning!"

Chapter 2 Let’s do a little role play

At night, a meditation space.

Xia Zhi sat on the chair, and little Shenhe sat on his lap, and the two played games together.

"Today is September [-]th."

"Ah."

"I remember Diona came to the store on September [-]rd."

"Ah."

"She commissioned the adventurer to deliver the letter on September [-]th."

"Ah."

"In total, only eleven days have passed. It took almost seven days for the letter to be delivered to Qingquan Town. This means that it only took Mr. Dulav four days to rush from Qingquan Town to Liyue. I'm afraid he is picking up the letter. As soon as I received the letter, I set off immediately, without much rest on the way."

"……Um."

"He came here in a really hurry today. He didn't eat anything and didn't even have time to buy gifts. It can be seen that he is worried about Diona. Although Diona seems to dislike him for drinking, he is indeed a good father."

"..."

"Shen He, would you like to guess what gift Mr. Durav will bring to the store tomorrow?"

"...don't guess."

"Aren't you happy again?"

"No."

"Shen He is as arrogant as Diona."

"...What is tsundere?"

"It's just that you obviously want it in your heart, but you insist on saying you don't want it. You obviously want it in your heart, but you insist on saying no. You obviously like it in your heart, but you insist on saying you don't like it."

"I'm not arrogant."

Xia Zhi couldn't help laughing, put down the game controller, held Shen He's waist with both hands, turned her body around, and made her sit on his lap facing him.

"Shen He."

"Ok?"

"Your dream bubble has become a little darker today."

"...Liar."

"Is it because of the incident between Diona and her father that the situation got emotional?"

"No."

"Don't be arrogant, arrogant people have long since withdrawn from the environment."

"...No tsundere."

Little Shenhe raised his head and looked at him, pursed his lips, and his eyes looked a little stubborn, which was very cute.

"unhappy?"

"No."

"Then smile."

"Do not laugh."

"why?"

"Do not want to."

"Then what are you thinking now?"

"Play games."

"Girls can't always think about playing games."

"Watch cartoons."

"You've already finished watching the cartoons."

"Look again."

"Why don't you try something new?"

"New things?"

"Well, when you're unhappy, you should do something that makes you happy."

"A happy thing?"

"Shen He, your level of Xian family talismans seems to be very good, right?"

"Not great, not as good as Master."

"I see you making the sealing talisman for instant noodles very quickly."

"That's easy."

"I want to learn."

"what?"

"Can you teach me? Master Shen He."

"?"

Little Shenhe couldn't help being stunned after hearing this.

Master Shen He?

Then the corners of her mouth wanted to curl up but she tried hard to hold back, looking at him and nodding seriously.

"Okay, I'll teach you."

"Do you want to prepare something?"

"White paper and brush."

"Don't need anything else?"

"No, let's learn the basic brushwork first."

"Oh."

Xia Zhi got paper and pen.

The table was a bit high for little Shenhe, so she spread the paper on the chair.

"I'll draw it for you first."

"Ah."

"...Do you understand?"

"I seem to understand."

"I'll draw it again."

"Ah."

"Come and try."

"it is good."

"That's not the case here."
