I'm a male god in Liyue

"I know."

Before we knew it, it was December 24th.

This was the original world's Little New Year.

It just so happens to be a Saturday holiday.

When Xia Zhi woke up in the morning, she held Shen He in her arms and stared blankly for a while.

Shen He woke up but didn't say anything, just stayed with him in a quiet daze.

Until the alarm clock on the bedside table rang.

Xia Zhi snapped out of her reverie, lowered her head, and said softly, "Today is the Little New Year."

"Ah."

"Time flies so fast."

"Ah."

"It's so good to have you with me."

"Ah."

"It just so happens that it's time today. I can help you resolve your physical condition issue tonight."

"Ah."

"Once the problem is solved, you won't have to be so cold anymore, and you can smile."

"I can laugh now."

Shen He raised his head and gave him a slight smile.

Then there is no more then.

If I had to say something, morning exercise is good for your health.

During the Little New Year, it's natural to have a good get-together.

The cured meat I made a few days ago is almost ready to eat.

Xia Zhi had already sent out invitations to everyone a few days ago, inviting them to come to the restaurant for a meal.

In the morning, Xiangling and Keqing came over from the construction site together.

"How is the school construction progressing?"

"It's halfway done."

"So fast?"

"This is all thanks to Xiangling!"

"Xiang Ling?"

"Yes! Ever since Xiangling started cooking on the construction site, the workers' condition has improved significantly, and they have more energy to work, so the construction speed has increased considerably these days."

"That's it."

Xia Zhi knew the reason behind it.

He had previously asked Xiangling to bring him several sets of kitchen utensils, which had already unlocked the set attribute "Longevity". When Xiangling used these utensils to cook, the food would contain "Vitality", which would naturally be very beneficial to the workers' health after consumption.

"By the way, Xiangling, how's your new dish development going?"

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's question, Ke Qing's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly.

Xiangling replied excitedly, "Master, I've already developed two!"

"How was the response?"

"Everyone on the construction site says it's delicious!"

"Then you can make it for everyone to try today."

"it is good!"

"Miss Keqing, please have a seat. I need to go to the kitchen to work."

"Mr. Xia, you can go ahead and attend to your business."

Ke Qing walked to the table and sat down. Just as she was about to pick up a novel to read, she suddenly noticed the newspaper that was under the book.

"This is?"

She's been at the construction site these past few days and hasn't paid much attention to the newly opened Liyue newspaper office.

Ke Qing pulled out the newspaper and glanced at it.

"Ningguang started a newspaper?"

She flipped through the pages with great interest and soon came across the gossip section in the entertainment category.

Ke Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

How could they possibly portray Ningguang and Mr. Xia like this?

Are newspaper employees really that bold?

They even dare to do it to their own boss...

and many more……

Ke Qing suddenly had a thought.

Logically, newspaper staff shouldn't dare to write such things, but they did, unless they had tacit approval from above.

In other words, Ningguang deliberately allowed the newspaper to hype things up in this way.

Ningguang, as one of the Seven Stars, holds a high position and wields great power, making her a subject of much discussion.

In addition, there's her legendary self-made success story, astonishing wealth, and beauty.

Even Keqing, who is also one of the Seven Stars, cannot compare to Ningguang in popularity.

Moreover, Ningguang has always maintained a clean reputation and has never had any ambiguous rumors with any suitors.

The sudden emergence of her scandal was indeed able to arouse everyone's curiosity in a very short time and make newspapers quickly accepted by people.

but……

While others might not know, Ke Qing did, and she knew that Ningguang seemed to genuinely have feelings for Mr. Xia.

She recalled the time she and Ningguang had come to Mr. Xia's shop together.

She was walking down the street with Ningguang when Ningguang said something to her, one sentence of which she has always remembered.

"Ke Qing, you probably don't understand."

Keqing couldn't help but recall the image of Ningguang saying those words.

That strangely superior look in her eyes, that expression tinged with a certain happiness... now that I think about it, it's just like a woman showing off her boyfriend to her best friend.

Ningguang was craving... Could it really just be Mr. Xia's cooking and his massages?

Ke Qing looked down at Ning Guang's photo on the newspaper in her hand, lost in thought.

Her thoughts were interrupted when another guest arrived.

"Miss Yanfei, Miss Yunjin."

"Hello everyone."

"Please have a seat, both of you. My cousin is busy and cannot entertain you properly. Please don't mind."

"It's alright, we're not guests."

"Miss Yun Jin, I saw a rumor in the newspaper that your new play has been finished?"

"Yes, it's already written."

When is the audition?

"Not yet. I'm planning to ask Mr. Xia to take a look and give me his opinion first."

"Oh! Remember to let us know when you audition."

"Well, definitely."

After a while, Ningguang, Baishu, Granny Ping and others also arrived.

Keqing glanced at Ningguang, who was behaving normally, with a slightly strange look in her eyes.

Hu Tao also came over from next door. As soon as she arrived, she approached Ning Guang: "Lord Tianquan, I heard that your newspaper ad space hasn't been rented out yet?"

"Well, I don't have any plans to open it up for rent for the time being. It's only for use with our own products. What are you thinking, Master Hu?"

“I want to advertise our ancestral hall in the newspaper. So many people read the newspaper every day. Even if it’s just a casual mention, it will definitely be much more effective than me posting small ads everywhere.”

"This is simple. I'll instruct the newspaper to help promote the Rebirth Hall later."

"Thank you! As for the advertising fee..."

"Master Hu, please don't stand on ceremony."

"That won't work..."
