In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

A dry heave was forced out, but since most of it had already passed through the esophagus into the stomach, and the earlier portion had already flowed into the intestines, it could not be vomited up.

Ye Lan looked at the daylight outside the door, her mind filled with confusion.

Why hasn't Ningguang arrived yet, even at this hour?

Where exactly does the hope she's been waiting for lie?

Xu Guang turned back, squatted down next to the other person, and said, "I know what you're waiting for, but in order for us to have a good memory, I'm definitely prepared to delay her. So don't worry, they won't be able to come. You can stay here for a while without worry."

Ye Lan closed her eyes, her body trembling.

"you this……"

Xu Guang smiled and said, "Alright, you worked hard yesterday too. Go and rest now. I'm going to prepare breakfast. See you later!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Its destination, naturally, is the place where Gan Yu is.

Chapter 232: Coconut Milk

"Where should I have seen him before?"

On the street in the early morning, Gan Yu walked alone with an umbrella. The weather wasn't very good today; it was drizzling.

Such weather also meant there weren't many pedestrians on the road, but Gan Yu liked this kind of weather.

She is of mixed race, a human and a Qilin.

In some people's eyes, this is such a great combination.

Auspicious beasts and humans.

But she unexpectedly felt uncomfortable because of her identity, she could neither integrate well into human society nor into the ranks of celestial beasts.

Thousands of years ago, when the positions of the "Liyue Seven Stars" first appeared in Liyue, Gan Yu became the secretary of the first Seven Stars.

Over the years that followed, the seven stars of Liyue changed constantly, but Gan Yu remained by their side.

This also means that the paperwork and administrative affairs of all departments and aspects of Liyue have accumulated and piled up over the years, eventually falling on Gan Yu's shoulders.

Even when faced with ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times the workload, her sense of responsibility remained unchanged year after year.

That's what she thought at first, but in reality, you only feel powerless when you're burdened with a responsibility that no ordinary person could possibly bear.

The so-called Qilin is a celestial beast that does not eat human food, and its inherent nature makes it inevitably feel lonely.

Responsibility and loneliness tore at her heart.

This is why, whenever the Seven Stars change leadership, she returns to her cave to enjoy a moment of peace; otherwise, she fears she will be unable to continue.

Perhaps only when she returns to her master's side and abandons all other identities will she feel relaxed.

Until Xu Guang appeared.

Gan Yu couldn't quite remember where she had met the other person, but the ease of not having to do anything enveloped her, making her feel an unprecedented joy.

It feels good to have someone you can rely on.

Gan Yu hummed a song, perhaps unaware that her steps were unusually light.

In Gan Yu's eyes, the most perfect way for two people to get along is to be together without disturbing each other, yet still be able to truly feel each other's presence.

Pushing open the door, she saw her living quarters, the residence assigned to her by Liyue. It was simple and elegant, but lacked human warmth.

Therefore, it can only be called a place to live, not a home.

However, as she pushed open the door, a deep voice came from inside.

"Welcome home."

It's a reassuring voice that warms the heart.

Gan Yu folded her umbrella, took off her shoes, and went inside. She watched the person standing on the dining table setting out food, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"I am back."

Xu Guang laughed in agreement.

"Come and have breakfast."

Gan Yu nodded heavily, then sat down without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if this was part of her daily life.

Looking at the table full of her favorite foods, Gan Yu pursed her lips, her eyes filled with joy.

Xu Guang arranged the food and took out a cup.

"Alright, now there's only one left."

Gan Yu looked at the other person quietly, somewhat curious about what was left.

Then she heard something she didn't understand.

"We're still missing coconut milk."

“Coconut milk?”

Gan Yu frowned, repeatedly pondering the word, somewhat bewildered.

Liyue Harbor is located by the sea, so coconuts and coconut milk are naturally available. However, at this time, due to the descent of the Demon God, the port is closed, making it difficult to buy them.

"I...I'll go buy it!"

Gan Yu didn't want this seemingly cozy breakfast to be missing anything, so she was about to stand up when Xu Guang stopped her, smiling as he spoke.

"It doesn't have to be that complicated. We can actually make this at home ourselves."

Gan Yu tilted her head, looking even more confused.

She has no interest in coconuts, so there are no coconuts in her house.

So how do you make coconut milk?

Then she followed the other person's gaze and felt she understood a little better.

She blushed immediately: "I...I haven't had a baby yet, so I can't do it!"

If someone has lived for thousands of years and still doesn't know this, then it just means they've lived in vain.

Xu Guang put his hand on the other person's shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, it's a small problem. I used to be a milkmaid, and I'm very good at this. You can leave it to me without worry, if you don't mind."

Gan Yu clutched her chest and took a step back: "I don't mind... but... aren't we moving too fast right now..."

Her personality was elegant and quiet. She found it hard to believe that she and the other person had acted that way in the Qunyu Pavilion office before. Now, if she were to do the same thing...

Xu Guang looked at it and sighed.

"So that means we won't be able to drink coconut milk today, which is a bit of a shame."

Gan Yu bit her lip as she looked at the other person's expression.

"It's not that we can't, but shouldn't we understand each other a little better?"

Xu Guang smiled, stepped forward, and put his arm around the other person's waist: "So you mean, we don't know each other well enough?"

Gan Yu quickly shook her head: "That's not what I meant..."

"what is that?"

"Well……"

Unable to answer immediately, Gan Yu hesitated for a long time under the other person's gaze before slowly nodding.

"OK then."

Xu Guang's smile deepened, and he beckoned the other person to come to the dining table and bow.

"Come here, then put your hands on the table, and I'll take care of the rest. It might hurt a little at first, but you'll get used to it. Trust me."

As Xu Guang spoke patiently and persuasively, he hugged Gan Yu's small waist from behind.

Over the years, the other person has lost a lot of weight and no longer feels as soft and squishy as they did last time.

Gan Yu's face turned completely red, from her cheeks to her ears, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.

She hadn't done these things before and didn't really understand them; she simply didn't want to see the other person unhappy.

Xu Guang patted Gan Yu's head and then began his own operation.

His hand climbed up and touched the soft surface.

"Um……"

Normally, Gan Yu at this stage wouldn't be able to produce coconut milk, since he's a hybrid of human and mythical beast, and his body contains human components.

Without a baby, there would be no such thing.

But it doesn't matter, Xu Guang has his own methods.

He held it while opening the console, bringing up Gan Yu's status bar, and then clicked on one of the items.

"Well……"

Gan Yu's body trembled. Her eyes widened as she felt something hot coming. Then she looked down at the cup below as it was slowly filled.

Just as the light industry was in full swing here, someone came in from outside.

Shen He arrived here, holding an umbrella and expressionless.

She was about to push the door open, but after thinking about it, she decided to knock instead.

dong dong dong-

"Sister, it's me."

Shen He stood outside the door and said.

She saw the water stains at the door and guessed that the other person must have returned.

But when she knocked on the door, did she hear any strange noises coming from inside?

Okay, something got spilled?

Then the sound of water dripping onto the wooden floor.

Chapter 233: Fresh!

"Please...please come in."

The sounds inside the room were somewhat chaotic and trembling.

Shen He tilted his head in confusion, then pushed open the door and widened his eyes slightly.

"What does this smell like?"

"It's very light, but it smells very good," Shen He asked.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?"

The sounds inside grew more chaotic, but they still managed to maintain a semblance of composure.

However, there were other sounds faintly emanating from within.

"Not now..."

"Right away, right away."

"Woo..."

Shen He felt a jolt in her heart. She seemed to hear another voice, a voice belonging to someone very important in her memory.

Unfortunately, Gan Yu's house was a typical Chinese-style courtyard house, so Shen He didn't go to the restaurant immediately after entering. Only after she went in did she see that her senior sister was sitting with a man, with several cups of steaming milk in front of them.

Gan Yu didn't seem to be in a very good state. She was trembling, her face was flushed, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled.

However, Shen He ignored all of that; she looked at the man, her eyes shining.

"How will you be here."

Xu Guang replied with a smile, "Just dropping by when I have nothing else to do."

Such words would certainly not be enough to deal with others, but they would be acceptable to Shen He.
