"But don't get me wrong, I just grew up here and received a lot of favors from this family."

Before they could start a million-word plot in their minds, Beidou interrupted their random thoughts with a smile.

"I thought..."

"What else do you think?"

Looking at Beidou's teasing eyes, Paimon quickly stuffed a biscuit into his mouth and chewed it like a hamster.

"No, it's nothing."

The little guy's naive appearance made several people present laugh. The sailors on the side also looked away from behind and continued chatting with their friends beside them.

It seems that the life-long affairs of their eldest sister have not yet been settled.

Beidou picked up the tea cup on the side and took a few sips of tea to moisten his dry throat.

"Instead of talking about me, let's talk about you. Judging from your appearance, you should be very familiar with that boy, otherwise you wouldn't come here to work as a waiter."

Except for Mona, she really came here to work because she needed money.

But it was obvious that Mona, who was hiding between Ying and Shen He, was not discovered by the woman in front of her.

"The two of us...we can be considered traveling companions."

Ying pulled Paimon aside without any hesitation.

"Hey~ Traveling companion..."

Looking at the girl who didn't hesitate, Beidou's eyes stayed on her for a moment, and then moved to Shen He.

This woman is obviously older than the other two, roughly the same age as her.

Don't ask why, just ask how it looks.

"In my words...it's just to repay the favor."

"Repay a favor?"

Hearing this, Beidou not only raised his eyebrows, but also showed a somewhat surprised look in his burgundy pupils.

Shen He nodded, his blue-white eyes filled with memories.

"Mother Bai is kind to me, and the restaurant is short of manpower. The little boss came to ask me for help, so I naturally had to help."

Hearing this, Beidou curled his lips.

What, she thought it was someone's personality charm that attracted several beautiful girls, but she didn't expect that everyone had their own reasons.

It really disappointed her.

Not sure if he noticed something, Beidou directly ignored Mona without asking her what she meant.

"It sounds like they are all people with stories. Compared to you, that kid was much more boring when he was a kid."

"'Boy'? Are you talking about cooking?"

After finally being able to add a sentence to the conversation, Paimon quickly revealed his face from Ying's side.

"Ah, I'm talking about that boy Bai Qiyun. He used to be a guy who couldn't even fart when he hit the sap, but he got better when he grew up."

"Eh? Is it possible that Beidou really fought against Sap?"

"It's a metaphor, it's just a metaphor."

Beidou shook his head and denied the little guy's unrealistic guess.

However, although she has never beaten a sap, she did bully Bai Qiyun when she was a child.

Thinking of those years still makes people feel a little sad.

In the blink of an eye, the little boy who only used to be bored in the warehouse has grown so big.

"Speaking of which, that guy did a lot of embarrassing things when he was a kid. For example, he confused a chicken that had been raised for a long time with a new chicken, and then killed the chicken with a knife. I remember that the guy was crying while holding the chicken.

It’s been a long time coming.”

As the saying goes, happiness is based on the sadness of others.

Beidou still clearly remembers the feeling of holding her rice bowl and eating chicken that night. It was really delicious.

"Another example--"

"Snapped!"

The crisp voice echoed in the ears of several people. When Beidou came back to his senses, he saw Bai Qiyun standing beside her with a sullen face, holding a large bowl in his hand, filled with spicy and fragrant meat slices and soup.

"Miss Beidou, it's time to eat."

Like the voice of an evil spirit coming from hell, Beidou stiffly twisted his neck, not daring to look directly at the boy in front of him.

Being looked at by Bai Qiyun with a "kind" look on his face, Beidou felt that the side of his face was burning.

It's really embarrassing to feel like you're caught talking about someone else's dark history behind their back.

Fortunately, Bai Qiyun served the food very quickly, and everyone in the hall was immersed in the joy of dinner before long.

For these people who have been wandering at sea for a long time, Bai Qiyun's delicacies have liberated their taste buds that have been tortured by seafood.

Only when they take these dishes into their mouths will they realize that they are different from the fish swimming in the deep sea and that they are truly human beings.

After all, there are too few things that a person can enjoy in his life, and for these sailors, their diet is almost cut in half. Only when they return to shore during the holidays can they become ordinary people and enjoy enjoyment.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

After enjoying the dinner back at Liyue Port, the sailors left the restaurant with satisfaction. Only Beidou stayed here.

This is normal, that group of people all have residences in Liyue Port, and Beidou's home is here.

It's just that the house that seemed empty before suddenly welcomed so many residents, which really made Bai Qiyun a little uncomfortable.

If his parents' house is preserved, if that woman Ningguang comes back to live again, this floor will really be full.

However, I think this situation will not last long. After the Lantern Festival, the Death Star will go to sea as usual, and Beidou will not stay on the shore forever.

The only problem is that the bathroom is a bit cramped. Even if the girls group is allowed to use it first, the bathroom space is not enough to accommodate so many people at the same time.

But Beidou said he didn't care, and let Shen He, who was tired from traveling, use it with the petite Ying and Mona. She happened to take advantage of this time to catch up with her little brother.

In the empty room, Bai Qiyun was making the mattress for Beidou.

Thanks to Shen He's magic, these rooms that were originally unoccupied can be kept tidy at all times.

There is no need to do too much cleaning at all, just bring the bedding and you can move in. It is really convenient.

"So of those three girls, who do you like?"

Bai Qiyun just stopped what he was doing, looked up, and saw a big face next to him, with a trace of a bad smile on his face.

Although he has been operating at sea all year round, Beidou surprisingly does not smell fishy at all.

On the contrary, there was a mint-like fragrance emanating from her clothes, which made people feel refreshed.

"No, I don't like anyone. I like you."

Bai Qiyun pushed the woman's big face away from him angrily.

How old is this guy, yet he is just joking like this, there is no formality to it.

"Hey~ Are you shy?"

"No."

The pillow in my hand was soft and soft. I guess it was bought by Ying and Mona during the previous shopping trip.

If it were him, he would not choose this kind of soft pillow. He would prefer a slightly firm type.

Just like when he was a child, Beidou leaned on Bai Qiyun's back and looked up at the stars.

The long and silky hair fell from the shoulders, and occasionally a few hair strands hung in the young man's ears, lingering in the fragrance.

"What? Are you tired?"

Realizing that the woman behind him had not moved for a while, Bai Qiyun slightly tilted his head back, and what he saw was a face full of stars.

Although it was winter, Beidou's attire was obviously much more casual.

Surrounded by the sub-zero outdoor temperature, she was still wearing a white gauze pajamas and sitting on the floor barefoot.

Just like ten years ago, eclectic.

"You'll catch a cold."

I don't know if this situation made Bai Qiyun feel something. He had always regarded Beidou as his 'best friend', so his voice couldn't help but soften at this time.

"I'm not that delicate."

After a while, Beidou stopped looking up at the stars and pinched the back of the boy's hand tightly.

When it touched the callus on the tiger's mouth, Beidou's hand paused.

"During my absence, a lot of things seemed to have happened in Liyue Port."

"Um."
