Chapter 98: Ganyu: I'm Afraid It Will Reduce the Weight in My Heart

At this time, a system notification sounded in Amon's mind.

"Ding, Shen He's favorability has been detected to increase from 0 to 1. Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Intertwined Fate, and also for obtaining the recipe for Heartstring Noodles."

In the game setting, Heartstring Noodles are Shenhe's specialty.

Shen He's favorite food was the noodles her mother made for her when she was a child.

When Shen He grew up, she recreated the noodles from her memories and named them Heartstring Noodles.

This dish is relatively simple to make.

The ingredients are regular noodles, poultry, mushrooms, and ham.

Amon quickly learned the recipe for Heartstring Noodles.

Just like in the game, there was no need to memorize it.

The moment he opened the recipe, Amon already understood the production process in his mind.

Then, he opened the card pool again and made a single draw.

A blue light descended from the sky. When the light faded, a flawless, crystal-clear jade comb appeared before him.

In the background story of the game, this jade comb was the apprenticeship gift given to Shen He by Cloud Retainer.

Shen He originally had black hair.

After combing her hair three times in a row with the jade comb, her hair changed color and turned white.

This comb, originally a gift from Cloud Retainer, was now in Amon's hands.

Amon placed the jade comb in his backpack and planned to give it to Shen He when he had the chance.

After exiting the system interface, Amon took the four cute kids home.

As he approached his house, Amon noticed a figure lingering by the door.

The figure was a bit blurry in the darkness, but the two horns on its head were vaguely visible.

It was Ganyu.

Amon was a little surprised. He had originally wanted to discuss with Ganyu about teaching Shen He magic, but unexpectedly, Ganyu had come to him first.

Isn't this a coincidence?

However, since Ganyu had been waiting at the door for a long time, she must have something important to say.

When Ganyu saw Amon approaching, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked toward him.

"Mr. Amon, I'm sorry to bother you again."

Amon chuckled and shook his head. "Miss Ganyu, there's no need to be so formal. You are not a bother to me."

For a moment, Ganyu's pretty face turned slightly red.

Her eyes revealed the shyness of a little girl, though more of it was joy.

Amon also noticed that Ganyu seemed hesitant to speak, as though she was embarrassed.

After all, Ganyu is an introvert and isn't used to speaking in front of many people.

With four cute little kids staring at her, she didn't know what to say.

In response, Amon looked down at the four cute little kids and said to Ningguang, "Little girl, take everyone back to rest and then arrange a room for Shen He."

"Can this mission be accomplished?"

After hearing Amon assign the task, little Ningguang nodded vigorously. "Brother Amon, no problem! Ningguang will complete the task well."

Ningguang, like a little adult, took Qiqi, Beidou, and the newly arrived Shen He home.

After all the kids had gone back, Amon looked at Ganyu and asked, "Ms. Ganyu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ganyu then recalled that she had not yet mentioned the main purpose of her visit.

"Master said that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck and asked me to go down the mountain to hone myself."

"I think Master might be saying that my current self-control still has a lot of room for improvement."

"After all, I grew a lot of vegetables before."

"But I ate all the vegetables before they were fully ripe..."

When she said the last sentence, Ganyu's pretty face turned even redder.

The ahoge hair on top of her head curled up, making her look very embarrassed.

Amon suppressed his smile.

No wonder Ganyu hesitated and refused to speak when the four little ones were here just now.

It turns out that the topic was about Ganyu's "dark history."

Amon thought Ganyu was quite cute.

"I always eat too much, then feel upset and blame myself after eating, and the cycle repeats over and over again."

Ganyu paused, looked at Amon, and said, as if she had made up her mind, "I think I would like to invite Mr. Amon to grow vegetables with me."

"Grow vegetables together?"

(T/n: planting his seed on your? 🤫)

Ganyu nodded slightly and hummed, "Because... when I think about those vegetables that Mr. Amon and I grew together, I will definitely be able to resist eating them."

"Or rather, I just can't bear to eat them."

"If this happens, it will definitely help improve my self-control, right?"

Hearing Ganyu's answer, Amon couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect that, in order to control her diet, Ganyu thought of asking Amon to grow vegetables with her.

This also showed that Amon held a certain place in Ganyu's heart.

Amon nodded seriously. "Ms. Ganyu, of course, there's no problem. I'm willing to grow vegetables with you."

Ganyu's face lit up with delight. "Really? Thank you, Mr. Amon!"

Amon paused and then continued, "However, I think Master Liuyunjiefeng may not be referring to Miss Ganyu's lack of self-control but may be referring to something else."

"In my opinion, Miss Ganyu, there is no need to suppress your love for food. Just eat whatever you want and don't worry too much about it."

Ganyu was startled when she heard Amon's words.

She quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, if you don't control your diet in time... you will get fat."

"Because if I get fatter, my weight... I mean, my weight in Mr. Amon's heart will be less."

As she spoke, Ganyu's pretty face turned red, and she felt very embarrassed.

Even her fair earlobes were tinged with blush.

Ganyu's heart was pounding like a deer.

She didn't know why she had said such bold words.

It was completely instinctive, and she had said it without thinking.

Looking at Ganyu's cute appearance, Amon couldn't help but laugh.

He was about to speak when a charming and enchanting voice came from the side.

"Oh my, if I were Mr. Amon, I would definitely not reduce the importance of Sister Ganyu in my heart."

"After all, Sister Ganyu is so outstanding,"

"Especially... it can be anywhere."

Amon heard this and subconsciously looked up.

The person who spoke was Yae Miko.

Yae Miko's eyes were full of cunning as she looked at Ganyu jokingly.

Chapter 99: Do You Want to Have Dinner Together?

Hearing the teasing from Yae Miko, Ganyu's pretty face became even redder.

She had finally mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to him, but it had been overheard by someone else.

For a moment, Ganyu wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It was so embarrassing.

Ganyu looked at Yae Miko and said angrily, "Yae Miko... why are you here?"

Yae Miko raised her hands and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.

I just wanted to urge Mr. Amon to finish the second part of the novel as soon as possible, and I accidentally ran into this scene."

Yae Miko paused, then continued, "How about you two continue? I'll take my leave first.

I didn't see anything that happened just now."

Ganyu became even more shy.

This Yae Miko always found it fun to amuse people and never grew tired of doing so.

Ganyu didn't even believe the punctuation marks in Yae Miko's words.

Amon also sensed Ganyu's shyness, so he immediately changed the subject.

No matter what the topic was, he couldn't let Ganyu continue to be embarrassed like this.

"Ms. Ganyu, I want to ask you a favor."

Amon looked at little Shen He in the house, then looked back at Ganyu and said softly, "I would like to ask you to teach that child immortal arts."

Soon, Amon explained the reason to Ganyu.

Amon thought Ganyu would take a moment to think about it; after all, accepting a disciple was no joke.

Unexpectedly, Ganyu agreed very quickly and said seriously, "Since it is Mr. Amon's request, I will definitely agree."

Ganyu paused and continued, "Besides, I just observed the child named Shen He.

I vaguely feel that she has a connection with immortals. Perhaps she is a good candidate for cultivating immortal arts."

"Maybe even my master, Cloud Retainer, will like Shen He and be willing to teach her Adeptus art when she sees her."

Amon was relieved to hear that Ganyu was willing to teach Shen He magic.

After all, he couldn't teach Shen He many magic skills.

Ganyu was definitely more comprehensive than him.

At this time, Yae Miko, who was beside them, smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Amon, does your little disciple still need a third master?"

"For example, learning the secret techniques of Inazuma or something."

"As long as you ask, I don't mind taking that little one in."

It was hard to tell whether Yae Miko was joking or being serious.

However, Amon was certain that if he spoke up, Yae Miko would definitely teach Shen He something.

After thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

After all, Yae Miko was someone who loved to play tricks on people and loved to drive them crazy.

Amon didn't want her to lead Shen He astray.

So, Amon politely rejected Yae Miko's proposal.

After Ganyu finalized everything, she was ready to leave.

Although her master had asked her to go down the mountain to hone her skills, she couldn't neglect some of her main work.

When Ganyu was about to leave, Amon called her from behind.

"Ms. Ganyu, would you like to stay and have dinner with us?"

Amon hadn't eaten anything all day, and neither had the little ones at home.

So, Amon was planning to cook.

Now that Ganyu was here, Amon thought it would be nice to invite her to have dinner together.

Hearing Amon's words, Ganyu paused for a moment.

She wanted to shake her head, but for some reason, she nodded.

Maybe it was because Amon was such a great cook and the food he made was delicious, or maybe it was simply because she wanted to stay with Amon a little longer for the right reason.

Then, Amon turned his gaze to Yae Miko.

After all, since Ganyu had been invited, it was obviously impossible to ignore her best friend, Yae Miko.

Amon extended the invitation: "Miss Yae, would you like to have dinner together?"

Yae Miko didn't shy away from Amon's question. She just chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. Just make it like the fried tofu before."

When she called him "brother-in-law," Amon knew he would definitely make arrangements for Yae Miko.

At this time, Amon also noticed that Yu Jin was sitting at the door of the hotel not far away, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, as if admiring the moon.

Amon was also thinking about inviting Yu Jin to dinner that day.

After all, neighbors often visit each other, and Yu Jin had helped Amon a lot before.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jin showed a suspicious expression after hearing Amon's invitation.

"Stinky brother, it's fine for me, but I'm just worried that you will be tired."

"After all, there's no such thing as spoiled land, only cows that die from exhaustion."

"So, let's do it another day."

Amon: "???"

It was as if something had rolled over his face.

The speed was too fast, and Amon couldn't see it clearly.

Chapter 100: If You Like It, I Will Make More for You in the Future

In fact, Amon knew in his heart that Yu Jin was worried he would be overworked, so she politely declined.

It was just that the way he spoke was too fast.

Amon did not force it.

Since Yu Jin said "next time," then they would do it next time.

Anyway, there would definitely be another opportunity for the neighbors to get together for a meal.

After that, Amon brought Ganyu and Yae Miko back home and began preparing to cook.

He made a quick observation and decided that tonight's meal would be simpler.

Yae Miko ate fried tofu, Ganyu ate vegetarian food,

Qiqi drank coconut milk, and Beidou and Ningguang didn't mind; they just ate whatever Amon made.

As for Shen He, Amon really didn't know what little Shen He wanted to eat.

He looked down at Shen He and asked softly, "Little girl, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Shen He hesitated for a moment, then raised her head and said weakly, "Brother Amon, He'er wants to eat noodles. Is that okay?"

When Shen He was a child, whenever she was sad, her mother would make a bowl of noodles to cheer her up.

The noodles seemed to have some kind of magic that could dispel the haze in Shen He's heart.

But after experiencing so many things tonight, Shen He was feeling very low.

So when she was eating, she subconsciously thought of the bowl of noodles her mother used to make.

Although she could no longer eat the noodles made by her mother,

if she could have a bowl of noodles, she would definitely feel much better.

The little girl's thoughts were simple and pure.

After hearing Shen He's words, Amon was stunned for a moment.

Since he had obtained the recipe for Heartstring noodles before, he could easily make a bowl of noodles for Shen He.

Seeing that Amon didn't respond, Shen He thought her request might have been too rude.

So she immediately said, "Brother Amon, if it's inconvenient, then forget it."

"He'er will just eat the same as everyone else."

Shen He didn't want to cause any trouble for Amon, so if noodles weren't possible, she would accept whatever was given.

Amon heard this, smiled, and rubbed Shen He's little head, then said, "It's okay. Don't you just want to eat noodles?"

"This little request can definitely be met. Just sit back and wait."

After saying that, Amon walked into the kitchen.

Nowadays, his cooking skills were getting better and better with practice.

Within a moment, bursts of fragrance began to fill the kitchen.

He served sizzling fried tofu to Yae Miko,

a plate of clean vegetarian food for Ganyu,

a bowl of Heartstring noodles for Shen He,

and coconut milk for Qiqi.

Considering that Ningguang and Beidou were still growing, Amon prepared a nutritious dinner for them.

If nothing else, at least there were enough vegetables and meat.

Ningguang's mother had recovered quickly recently and was able to walk around again.

However, she was still in the recovery period and ate light food, so Amon made her a bowl of porridge.

Considering that Ganyu didn't eat meat, two tables were specially arranged—

one for the adults and one for the children.

Qiqi was holding goat's milk in her arms, standing by with a silly look on her face, looking at both ends.

When the dishes were served, the aroma filled the whole house.

Shen He felt a little nervous. After all, this was her first time eating at Amon's house.

Of course, she was also more curious about what kind of noodles Amon would make.

When Amon brought the noodles, Shen He was stunned.

The noodles Amon made looked very much like the noodles her mother used to make.

Since her mother passed away, Shen He had never tasted that familiar flavor again.

That unique kind of noodles, which only her mother could make, was sealed in her memory.

Now, seeing the noodles made by Amon, Shen He missed her mother.

She picked up the long noodles with chopsticks and gently placed them in her mouth to taste.

At that moment, Shen He's tears silently fell down her cheeks.

The noodles Amon made tasted very similar to the noodles her mother used to make.

While eating this bowl of noodles, Shen He seemed to have returned to the past,

back to the time when her mother loved her.

All those past events suddenly came flooding back like a tide, making her burst into tears.

Noticing that Shen He was crying, Amon immediately walked over.

"What's wrong, little girl? Are the noodles not cooked well?"

Amon had cooked according to the recipe, but he didn't expect the little girl to cry.

Shen He shook her head gently and said, "No, the noodles made by Brother Amon are delicious, and they remind me of my mother."

"I haven't eaten noodles like this for a long time. Thank you, Brother Amon."

Amon heard this, stretched out his hand, and pinched Shen He's face, then said softly, "What's the matter? If you like these noodles, I will make more for you in the future."

Hearing Amon's answer, Shen He felt a warm current in her heart.

"Yeah, thank you, Brother Amon!"

At this time, the system's voice sounded in Amon's mind:

"Ding! It is detected that Shen He's favorability has increased from level 1 to level 2."
