The next day, when Star woke up, it was still dark.
But it wasn't early anymore, because if she waited any longer, it would be difficult to leave.
Shaking her head, Star looked beside her.
She and Keqing were lying on the round table in the conference room. The table was quite large, allowing the two of them to rest for the night, and even do some strange things without issue.
Of course, saying they could rest comfortably was impossible.
Honestly, why couldn't the Qixing's conference room have a sofa? If there had been a sofa, Star wouldn't have had to toss and turn until so late before finally falling asleep.
Keqing, needless to say, was so exhausted that she was still in a deep sleep, only lightly covered by Star's gray coat. As for her own clothes…
Star turned her head to look around. Keqing's clothes were scattered on the floor, especially her black tights, which were probably unwearable now. Star had accidentally torn several holes in them.
Well, she couldn't say it was accidental; it should be said she was impatient.
No way, compared to slowly taking them off, Star preferred a more convenient and direct method.
Of course, if she absolutely had to wear them temporarily, there was no problem, as long as there wasn't too much wind. Otherwise, it would probably feel chilly…
Throwing her strange thoughts aside, Star slowly sighed.
In the end, Keqing still couldn't escape her clutches.
Although she had been eyeing Keqing for more than a day or two, she generally wouldn't choose such an aggressive method.
Besides, Ningguang had already promised her that she would deliver Keqing to Star. In fact, Star didn't need to rush at all.
But it still ended up like this. It was all Xiangling's fault; that nutritious meal was truly…
Speaking of nutritious meals.
With Keqing, Star finally felt a bit more clear-headed. At least she wouldn't be as impulsive as yesterday.
Could it be that to counteract the "medicinal effect" of Xiangling's nutritious meal, she had to find someone new?
Being intimate with girls she had been intimate with before didn't effectively remove the effect; at most, it only provided simple relief.
Star thought about it and felt that this was likely the case, because the last time she ate the nutritious meal, it was Xinyan who helped her return to normal.
It seemed that she would have to be careful in the future, at least not eat things randomly.
She didn't know what the ingredients of Xiangling's nutritious meal were. Although it did give her strength and nourishment, the psychological changes it brought were too troublesome. She couldn't eat it again in the future.
Otherwise, what if she saw a pretty girl on the street and couldn't help but abduct her?
Star imagined such a future and felt even more palpitations.
The number of people she had been intimate with was already countless. If it continued to increase in the future, how would she face so many people?
No, she still had to restrain herself. She couldn't continue.
"Keqing, Keqing, wake up." Star stopped thinking about those things. She shook Keqing's shoulder, trying to wake him up.
Although Keqing was exhausted, she wasn't sleeping that deeply, and soon woke up under Star's shaking.
"Where is this…?" Keqing's eyes still seemed to reveal deep confusion.
The ceiling above her was somewhat familiar, but it wasn't her home, nor was it her dormitory in Yuehai Pavilion.
Where exactly was this?
She slowly sat up, and her clothes slowly slid off.
A slight chill spread across her body, and looking around, her cheeks immediately flushed.
Keqing quickly pulled Star's clothes up to her neck, barely covering her upper body.
She remembered what happened last night. She and Star were very close, and then she seemed to lose her mind, actually taking the initiative to press her lips against Star's.
Then, Star also began to respond passionately.
The two of them, unknowingly…
"Ugh, what, what was I doing?!" Keqing covered her face.
She felt strange now. There was no regret in her heart, nor sadness.
In fact, she even felt a little secretly pleased, and her fatigue of many days seemed to be released in that instant. She had never felt so refreshed.
No wonder Ningguang had looked so well those days.
"I'm sorry… that, things are just as I told you yesterday. I didn't lie." Star said to Keqing with some hesitation.
Now that her rationality had somewhat returned to normal, Star was no longer as aggressive as she was yesterday.
"But no matter what, what's done is done. I will take responsibility." Star reached out and embraced Keqing, speaking softly.
"No, it's not your fault. I also made a mistake." Keqing struggled slightly, but then relaxed her body, enjoying Star's embrace.
Yes, what was done was done, and Star had already warned her that if she didn't want anything unexpected to happen, she should stay away from Star.
She didn't listen to the advice, and she truly couldn't bring herself to stay away from Star.
Upon careful reflection, it seemed that everything was just her deceiving herself.
After Star said those things yesterday, she didn't truly disbelieve him; she just wanted to use the pretense of disbelief to do something.
So, when Star got closer later, she didn't resist.
She could have easily escaped.
"We should leave this place first. We can talk later." After a long while, Star slowly released Keqing and then said.
She had already heard the footsteps of the Millelith patrol. It was best to leave quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to go later.
The sky was still in a hazy dawn, which could somewhat obscure their figures.
Otherwise, when it was completely bright, it would not be so easy to leave.
"Okay." Keqing had no objection, but she looked up at the window, estimated the time, and then reached out to stop Star, who was about to move.
"Wait a little longer. It's the Millelith's shift change time. We can take the opportunity to leave, it will be safer."
Now Keqing couldn't just walk out openly. Although the Millelith wouldn't suspect her identity, being disheveled, looking strange, and having spent so much time in the conference room…
None of this could be explained, and Keqing wasn't good at lying, so it was better not to appear in front of the Millelith.
"While we have time, we should… clean up this conference room."
Hearing Keqing's words, Star turned to look, her expression suddenly becoming a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, it needed a good cleaning. There were water stains everywhere.
Fortunately, there were cleaning tools in the corner of the conference room. Otherwise, if the traces here were discovered, it would probably become a big news in Liyue Harbor.
