I'm a male god in Liyue

"Mr. Xia, do you also need to take off your stockings?"

"If you don't want an oil massage, you don't have to take your clothes off."

"Aroma oil massage?"

"It involves applying essential oils to the body and then massaging it. After that type of treatment, your body will feel very slippery, and you need to take a shower immediately, otherwise you will feel a bit uncomfortable."

"Oh, that's fine."

Qin doesn't have that much time to go through all that trouble; it's already quite an achievement that she can squeeze out a little time for a massage amidst her busy schedule.

Xia Zhi placed his hand on her shoulder.

A familiar sense of pleasure washed over me.

Qin couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh.

awesome.

Xia Zhi massaged her properly, and after finishing her upper body, he said softly, "Commander Qin, you seem to have gained a little weight these past few days."

Qin, who had been immersed in comfort, instantly snapped out of her reverie: "No, right?"

Xia Zhi said softly, "My memory is still pretty good. I remember the last time Commander Qin's waist was massaged, it wasn't this soft..."

A look of worry crept onto Qin's face.

Thinking about it carefully, she had basically not left the house for the past few days, and had just stayed in the office. She hadn't been eating properly either, and whenever she felt hungry, she would just make herself a cup of instant noodles.

Sometimes, I would eat seven or eight bowls of instant noodles a day.

Given this situation... no wonder I've gained weight...

Xia Zhi said, "Commander Qin, don't worry. Just exercise for a little while every day and control your diet, and your body will return to normal."

Qin sighed, "Mm."

Xia Zhi thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, if Commander Qin wants to lose weight quickly, I can help."

Qin exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Mr. Xia, do you have a weight loss recipe?"

"It's not a prescription, just a massage technique that can help with rapid fat loss."

"Really?"

"The troupe leader must have noticed the girls with me, right?"

"Yes."

"What does the troupe leader think of their figures?"

“Everything is good!”

"One of the reasons is that I often give them slimming massages, so they never need to diet."

"Mr. Xia, please give me a massage like this too."

"it is good."

“Mr. Xia, I heard from Kaiya that you donated a lot of money to Mondstadt for repairs.”

"Actually, the money has nothing to do with me; it was all donated by them."

"Thank you so much."

"When the troupe leader thanked me, it wasn't very sincere. You should go and say it to them."

"Sigh, Mr. Xia, you can see that I'm so busy right now, I don't have time to go out."

"Yes, I'm busy. Does Commander Qin have time for lunch today?"

"What does Mr. Xia mean by that?"

“Yesterday I met some friends from Liyue in Mondstadt, so I thought I’d cook a meal and invite them over for a get-together.”

"This... I really want to go, but... there's just no way... I'm sorry."

"I understand. Official duties come first. I'll organize another dinner when Director Qin is free. There's no need to worry about it."

"Ah."

After the massage, Qin Mingming felt as if she had just been lying on the table without moving, but her body was still sweating a lot, as if she had just done some strenuous exercise.

Xia Zhi went over and thoughtfully made Qin a cup of tea to help her stay hydrated.

Qin was touched and said thank you.

Xia Zhi said goodbye and left: "I still need to invite a few other friends, and then go back to cook, so I won't bother Commander Qin any longer."

Qin stood up to see him off, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xia."

Xia Zhi unlocked the door and went outside.

Noelle happened to be mopping the floor in the hallway.

She heard the sound of the lock opening, looked up, and saw Xia Zhi walking out from inside, with the troupe leader Qin standing at the door watching him leave.

The fact that a young man walked out of the locked office of the ensemble leader was already quite a topic of conversation.

She had been mopping the ground here for ten minutes and hadn't seen anyone go in.

In other words, the man stayed in the locked office of the troupe leader for at least ten minutes, not to mention details such as the troupe leader's flushed face, her hair soaked with sweat, and her clothes disheveled when the door was opened...

Noelle reads romance novels in her spare time and has some knowledge of these kinds of things.

She lowered her head, pretending not to see anything.

There are many red lines that cannot be crossed for the Knights' maids, one of which is that "the private information of Knights members must be kept strictly confidential."

What she just witnessed can be considered Captain Qin's private information. This means that it should be kept secret not only from outsiders but also from other members of the Knights Order.

For example, what exactly is in Jean's private room, what exactly is in Amber's Bunny Earl, how many special eye patches does Kaeya have, how many places does Klee hide bombs... these are all secrets among secrets.

To avoid accidentally letting something slip, Noelle made many roses out of red fabric—roses in Mondstadt symbolize keeping one's mouth shut.

She even sewed one onto her fingernail as a constant reminder to herself.

Revealing secrets is a grave dereliction of duty for a maid, and someone aspiring to become a knight must never make such a mistake.

After the young man entered the library and after the guild leader closed the office door again, Noelle stood alone in the corridor and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Xia Zhi walked into the library and went straight to the librarian's office.

I knocked on the door, and Lisa's languid voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Xia Zhi pushed open the door and went in.

Lisa looked up and saw it was him. She straightened her posture slightly and said, "Principal Xia hasn't come to the library to look for books these past few days. He must be enjoying the Flower Festival, right?"

Xia Zhi nodded: "Yes."

"Have you had a great time?"

"Very happy."

"So, Mr. Xia, are you here today to continue looking for books?"

"No, I'm going to put the book-finding thing on hold for now. I came here today to invite Miss Lisa to my house for lunch."

"take me Out to eat?"

"Um, does Miss Lisa have some time?"

Lisa looked at him and chuckled.

"Of course, I have plenty of time, and I would love to come over at noon to sample Mr. Xia's cooking."

"That's good. The location is behind the West Wind Church."

"I see."

"Then I take my leave."

"Walk slowly."

Xia Zhi is gone.

Lisa took out a culture jar.

The mushrooms planted inside are the cream mushrooms that Xia Zhi gave her.

She has cultivated it multiple times, but found that the new mushrooms she cultivated did not taste as good as the dried mushrooms in instant noodles.

Besides the quality of the mushrooms, it seems to also have something to do with cooking skills.

Lisa had only ever eaten instant noodles made by Xia Zhi. This time, she planned to go and see how he made other dishes, hoping to find the key to unlocking his culinary skills.

She was a scholar, and even something as simple as cooking could be replicated.
