Chapter 387 Memorial Day
"Eh...only a year? Why do I feel like I've known you for a long time?"
Liu Bai scratched his head in confusion.
"It's just one year. Anyway, wait for the cake tonight. I made it myself. It tastes great~"
"But the decoration is not finished yet, so you are not allowed to eat secretly."
Nashida nodded affirmatively, and then gave Liu Bai some instructions.
Now the basic shape of the cake has only been made, and various fruits and cream decorations have not yet been added.
"Okay, but girl, do you want to eat the duck head? If you don't, I'll eat it myself."
Liu Bai responded obediently, then asked again while holding the two braised duck heads in his hand.
"I don't want it, you can eat it yourself."
Nashida, who usually never refused Liu Bai's food, refused him this time for some reason.
Liu Bai had no choice but to sit down beside him with the braised duck head, gnawing on it while watching Nashida continue to perfect the huge cake on the table.
Since the cake was taller than an adult, Nashida had to step on the vines that had grown out, and only with the support of the vines could she reach the top of the cake.
Although flying is easy for her, her aesthetic is more inclined to use plants as an aid rather than flying in the air.
It’s like Liu Bai also likes to fly on a flying sword.
Nashida was decorating the cake while Liu Bai was gnawing on the duck head, and time passed little by little.
Although she was very busy, Nashida didn't dare ask Liu Bai for help.
Finally, after the sun set, the table was filled with an extremely sumptuous meal, featuring a cake as tall as a person.
However, this day was of special significance only to the two of them, and it was not a big day like a wedding that required inviting relatives and friends to a banquet, so Nashida had no plans to invite anyone else today.
Although Ying and Paimon still live with them, they often stay out all night when they are busy on missions.
As for the pink-haired fox, she was well behaved for a few days after Zhongli took her back last time, and stayed by Liu Bai's side. But she has become wild again in recent days, and no one knows where she has gone. She also stays out all night.
So today's sumptuous dinner is only for the two of us.
With the doors and windows closed, the only lights in the room were the candles on the table and the cake.
However, the dim environment had little impact on the two of them. On the contrary, this hazy feeling created a very nice atmosphere.
The two sat down together, planning to enjoy a delicious dinner together.
“Huh… I finally persuaded Ganyu to go back, otherwise Ningguang’s three followers would have been exhausted.”
"Yeah, they almost cried when they saw Ganyu."
"Huh? Why isn't there a fire in the house? Aren't Liu Shazi and Nashida back yet?"
At this moment, the two suddenly heard the voices of Paimon and Ying talking at the door.
"..."
Liu Bai and Nashida, who were sitting together and feeding each other, looked at each other.
Nashida raised her head slightly and opened her little mouth to signal Liu Bai.
Liu Bai understood, picked up a piece of his favorite spicy chicken and put it into Nashida's mouth, then leaned over and smacked her on the face.
Nashida then shook her ears happily, wiped the saliva from her face and walked to open the door.
"Why did you come back so late? I thought you weren't coming back today. But the food is ready~"
Nashida walked over, opened the door and let Ying, Paimon and the others in.
"Hehe, because helping Ganyu today took some time... Well, Paimon can already smell the delicious food~"
Paimon explained to Nashida, speaking happily as he smelled the aroma of food wafting from the house.
Then the two of them followed Nashida to the dining table. Liu Bai was eating happily at this time. He greeted the two of them, but because his mouth was full of food, he could only make unclear sounds.
"Oh, what a big cake! Whose birthday is it today?"
Paimon was attracted by the huge cake at first sight, and couldn't help asking while drooling.
"Today is my wedding anniversary with the girl."
Liu Bai grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite, and answered subconsciously.
"Eh?! You, you're already married... Uh, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, it's just... a little weird?"
Hearing Liu Bai's answer, Ying and Paimeng's eyes widened suddenly, and Paimeng couldn't help but speak with a look of shock.
Although I know that Nashida is a god, looking at such a petite girl, it is really hard to realize that she is already married.
"He was joking, but the meaning is pretty much the same. Today is the anniversary of our acquaintance."
Nashida pulled Liu Bai's hand, and then explained to Paimon and the others.
After all, if I really get married in the future, I will definitely invite these friends I know. If I don’t make it clear now, it will be difficult to explain later.
"Oh, that's almost the same, they are all days worth remembering."
"Well, if that's the case, Traveler, our anniversary seems to be coming soon~"
After listening to Nashida's explanation, Paimon nodded in sudden realization, then immediately approached Ying and spoke.
After she was picked up by Ying, they traveled together for three months, and finally met Liu Bai in Mond, and stayed in Mond for half a year.
Counting the time, in two or three months it will be the one-year anniversary of their acquaintance.
"Okay Paimon, I'll throw you into the water and fish you out again."
Ying stretched out her hands and picked up Paimon from under her arms, speaking to her seriously.
"Wow, Traveler, you are so mean... I just want to have a good meal."
Finding that Ying was not cooperating, Paimon had to break free from her hand in frustration and said.
"Isn't there a feast now? We've prepared a great feast today. Come and eat. We'll cut the cake later."
Looking at the two people playing around, Nashida spoke to them with some amusement.
"Hehe~ Then I won't be polite~"
Paimeng turned his attention back to the sumptuous meal on the table, rubbed his hands happily, and then ran to grab the food from Liu Bai as usual.
Soon, when everyone had almost finished eating, it was time to cut the cake.
Liu Bai subconsciously took out the Winter Ice Guard, but Nashida pressed the back of his hand and he had to put it back obediently.
"Little yellow-haired boy, can you lend me your sword?"
Liu Bai had no choice but to reach out to Ying, as his own weapon could easily destroy the cake.
"……Give."
Ying was stunned for a moment, but quickly took out the edgeless sword and handed it to Liu Bai.
Nashida took the edgeless sword first, then took out a brand new kitchen knife and handed it to Liu Bai.
Ying's sword has killed countless monsters, and Nashida doesn't want it to cut the cake.
Liu Bai scratched his head and took the kitchen knife handed to him by Nashida.
"Is this supposed to be a dagger?"
Liu Bai muttered.
[Dagger Mastery: One of the supporting skills for "Selfless Sword Qi". When swinging the dagger, you can emit a stronger sword energy. Some skills gain an adsorption effect when charging.]
Then Liu Bai slashed with his sword a few times, and the top of the cake immediately cracked into four pieces, falling accurately onto four plates.
However, after being cut into four pieces, the cake, which is one person's height, is still nearly one person's height. After all, it is not easy to finish such a big cake in one go.
