[ It is his birthday and he doesn't want to share this special day with his friends in a pigsty. Unfortunately, that meant taking care of the mess and since it was one that was mostly made by him then it is only fair that he takes some level of responsibility. He ended up cleaning up on his own as much as he hated having to tidy up. Nothing is going to make the task of cleaning any less boring and tedious. He imagines she is shocked to see that he can actually maintain a decent home, although he isn't sure what brought on that sigh.

There is a pause from him as he considers her offer; between the choice of a story or a meal crafted by Hu Tao he knows where her talents are and where they lack. This was the better option. Not that he doesn't appreciate the thought. Slowly a smile makes its way to his lips. ] This is what I wanted to do. I wanted to share a meal that I enjoy with a friend.

Come on. Come have a seat. I'll get everything set on the table. You can't decline to have a taste of what I've made now. [ At least she doesn't have to worry about anything suspicious, unlike Chongyun. So while she settles down he is going to get the table set. Did he just finish cooking? That's exactly the case. ]

I am actually surprised you didn't stop by first. Not that I didn't enjoy your story but I prefer hearing it from your lips than reading it on my own.
