"Alright, everyone's gone. How long are you going to keep pretending to be asleep?" Cloud Retainer watched Ganyu leave, then reached out and patted his rounded, perky spot.
"Ugh, I really haven't woken up yet." He quickly wriggled out of Cloud Retainer's arms.
Just now, Ganyu, to avoid waking him, had gently moved his head from his chest and placed it in his master's arms.
Cloud Retainer was also mischievous; this position made it easier for him to make some imperceptible small movements.
It almost made him lose his composure.
"Hmph, now that our three master and disciples have all been taken down by you, you little rascal, are you finally content?" Cloud Retainer's gentle patting turned into a back-and-forth caress.
This made his body tremble slightly.
"Content, what content..." He lay there, his head buried in the pillow, saying somewhat guiltily.
If anything, this could indeed be considered an impressive achievement.
But he hadn't yet been with these three master and disciples together.
So, to say he was completely content, he was still a little bit short.
"After you eat here with this immortal, go find Ganyu. Don't wait for him to come find you." Cloud Retainer smiled slightly and leaned close to his ear, saying.
"Mhm, I understand." He felt Cloud Retainer's hand movements seem to stop, and he slightly exhaled in relief.
However, he didn't expect that Cloud Retainer stopped only to make him relax his guard; next, he would launch a surprise attack...
"Yi!"
...
Approaching afternoon, he finally walked out of Cloud Retainer's residence.
At this time, his steps were unsteady, and he was holding his waist, looking like he had done a night of strenuous physical labor without rest.
In reality, it was pretty much like that.
That meal was truly rough. Cloud Retainer gave him oral instructions, and he was hard-controlled there with no way out.
He slowly sighed, recalling that Cloud Retainer's place was simply a dragon's den and a tiger's lair; he had made no progress whatsoever in counterattacking all this time.
There was no way. If it were a one-on-one fight, he wouldn't fear him at all, but Cloud Retainer couldn't be considered fighting alone, or rather, not fighting him bare-handed in close combat.
He would always use some small tools and inexplicable spells, causing him to be counteracted just as he was starting to make some progress.
Could it be that there would be no hope for a counterattack in the future...?
No, he couldn't harbor such negative thoughts; he had to believe in himself.
He secretly cheered himself on, vowing that one day he would shove all those little toys of his back at him!
"Hmph, just you wait!" He lightly clenched his fist, his eyes firm.
However, a cool breeze then blew, and all his fighting spirit instantly cooled down.
His two thighs felt chilly...
"Sigh..." He let out a deep sigh.
When he came out just now, most of his clothes were there, except for the most crucial piece.
Cloud Retainer was still pretending not to know, making him angry but unable to speak.
He had no choice but to come out like this and quickly go home to find a spare to wear.
Speaking of which, it was really strange. Cloud Retainer, by rights, shouldn't have this Hobbies (fetish), otherwise he would have taken his clothes away long ago, why wait until now?
Only that one missing piece had disappeared without a trace... Could it be that Ganyu took it?
He felt this possibility was extremely slim; perhaps it was still Cloud Retainer's doing.
Perhaps he had inexplicably developed an interest in these things recently?
----------------------------------------------------
Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu finally made it without being late.
Of course, even if Ganyu was late, given his status, no one would punish him or anything.
After all, as the secretary of the Qixing, and an adeptus who had signed a contract with Rex Lapis, everyone's respect for Ganyu had never been insincere.
Even if Ganyu was late, Yuehai Pavilion's attitude towards Ganyu was more concern than blame.
Therefore, upon hearing that Ganyu had returned to Yuehai Pavilion in a flustered hurry this morning, Keqing, who happened to be reading there, couldn't help but feel curious and worried.
He immediately got up and went to Ganyu's office, intending to ask about Ganyu's situation.
"Eh?!" However, to his surprise, upon entering and seeing Ganyu, Keqing froze on the spot.
There was only Ganyu in the office, and Keqing, in his haste, hadn't knocked, pushing the door open directly.
This directly led them into a very awkward situation. It wasn't that Ganyu was doing anything unspeakable, but the object he was holding felt particularly familiar to Keqing.
Ganyu, seeing Keqing, was also stunned for a moment. After a long reaction, he hurriedly put away the small, white, soft object he had unfolded in his hand, placing it behind his back.
"Keqing, Miss Keqing..."
"Ganyu, that thing in your hand... could it be the one from Ann?" Keqing calmed down slightly, then slowly closed the office door and asked.
Upon closer inspection, Ganyu gave him a completely different feeling today. It seemed he had probably taken Ganyu down last night.
This was truly unexpected.
Since that was the case, everything was much easier to discuss.
"No, no, no, no..." Ganyu shook his head, his eyes fixed on the floor, not daring to look up at Keqing at all.
When he left this morning, his clothes had been placed in another room by Cloud Retainer, and they were piled together with his clothes.
Because he was about to be late at the time, he left in a great hurry, grabbing all the clothes at once and quickly putting them on.
She hadn't even noticed that there was an incongruous item added to her clothes.
It wasn't until just now that she finally sensed something was amiss, then she reached in and pulled out this soft little thing from her chest.
"Isn't that right? Then it's you, Ganyu?" Keqing smiled slightly, and seeing Ganyu so nervous, she couldn't help but want to tease him.
He walked directly to Ganyu's side and, with lightning speed, snatched the clothing from Ganyu's hand.
"Eh?! Keqing, wait, wait a moment…" Ganyu quickly looked up, wanting to retrieve it, but at this moment, Keqing did something he never expected.
Keqing brought the soft garment to his nose, sniffing lightly.
"…Hmm~ This scent can't be wrong, it's the one on Stelle."
