"I—I most certainly do not!"
Keqing's face turned serious. "That was what we call being magnanimous! Don't you dare be so ungrateful!"
"The ungrateful one here is likely you, isn't it?" Jiang Yun countered.
"I don't have time to argue with you... You!"
As Keqing walked into the office and turned to close the door, she suddenly realized Jiang Yun's right hand was still busy kneading her perky backside. "What are you doing? Get your hand off me!"
Keqing scrambled to shut the door, instantly putting distance between herself and Jiang Yun. She moved her arms behind her back, shielding her rear. "Wait... why can't I feel my own backside? What did you do to me this time?!"
"Nothing much, just used a little skill. Does Keqing like this feeling of having no sensation at all?"
"Who would like this?! Stop this skill immediately and give me my sensations back!"
"Fine, your wish is my command..."
[Keqing's sensation in her buttocks has been restored!]
All the sensations of her backside being toyed with and kneaded by Jiang Yun's "claws" during the walk had been accumulating. Now, they were returned all at once! An unprecedented, intense wave of pleasure surged into Keqing's mind, echoing for a long time.
"Nngh—! Again?!"
Under the weight of the overwhelming sensation, Keqing's violet eyes widened instantly. Her delicate frame trembled, and she stumbled forward. Jiang Yun took a step toward her, catching her arms to steady her.
Keqing had to press her hands against Jiang Yun's sturdy chest just to keep her footing. Her face was a mask of crimson as she abruptly looked up, her violet eyes meeting his. Seeing the mischievous, roguish smirk on his face, the resentment and shame in her gaze grew even more pronounced.
"JIANG—YUN—!!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yun suppressed a laugh, putting on an innocent expression. "You were the one who told me to give the sensations back. You can't exactly turn around and blame me for doing what you asked, can you?"
"Who else am I supposed to blame?!"
Keqing's breathing grew heavy, the rise and fall of her chest becoming more frantic. "If you hadn't messed around in the first place, would I be in this pathetic state?"
"There's no turning back once the arrow has been shot. I've already 'messed around,' so what's the use of saying all this now, Keqing? You might as well just enjoy it..."
Jiang Yun looked down at Keqing, whose hands were still pressed against his chest. The sunlight from the window hit her tender cheeks, outlining her silhouette in a halo of light and highlighting every strand of her violet hair. The shy blush on her face hadn't faded, and the resentment in her eyes only added to her charm.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but marvel, "Besides, you look truly captivating like this, Keqing..."
"You... I..."
His sudden tone of sincerity left her momentarily speechless. Seeing her at a loss, Jiang Yun wanted to tease her even more.
He quietly summoned the New-Model Kamera, letting it hover nearby to snap a photo. Then, with a flourish of his hand, he produced the photo as if by magic.
"What? You don't believe me? If you don't, take a look at this photo."
"Meow—! Not another one of those photos... eh?!"
Keqing lunged and snatched the photo from Jiang Yun's hand. She flipped it over and froze. "It's actually... just a normal photo?!"
Jiang Yun chuckled. "What else did you think it was?"
Keqing's face reddened as she averted her eyes. She happened to spot the New-Model Kamera floating in the air. "Is this the machine you use to take pictures? It looks a bit like a Fontaine product..."
"Yes, but it's much better than a standard Fontaine Kamera!"
"A device this good could be used for so many meaningful things, yet you use it for..." Keqing trailed off, throwing another resentful look his way.
Jiang Yun spread his hands shamelessly. "To me, teasing you is a very meaningful thing!"
"Shameless!"
Keqing tucked the photo away and walked toward her desk. As she walked, she kept her hands behind her back and looked back at Jiang Yun every few steps, her guard fully up.
"Stop standing there smirking! Come over and get to work. Aren't you my assistant?"
Jiang Yun stowed the Kamera and followed her. "What do you want me to do?"
"As one of the Liyue Qixing, I am responsible for the land planning and construction of Liyue Harbor. You will assist me in this regard."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yun pointed to himself. "Today is my first day on the job, not my hundredth year."
Keqing's lips curved into a slight smile. "Yesterday you were so full of confidence, saying you wanted to leave a deep impression. Now you're afraid of a little difficulty and want to quit?"
"If I'm not even afraid of teasing the Yuheng, why would I be afraid of a little work?"
The blush that had finally started to fade from Keqing's cheeks flared up again. "Just say 'I'm not afraid' and leave it at that!"
To prevent Jiang Yun from saying anything else scandalous, Keqing briskly pulled several ledgers from the desk and handed them to him. "These are the maps of Liyue that I personally surveyed and drew. Look them over carefully and commit them to memory."
Jiang Yun took the map book and moved to sit down next to her.
She spoke up again immediately: "Don't sit there. Sit at the other end of the desk so you don't try anything wicked again!"
"Alright, since you put it that way..." Jiang Yun turned and pretended to walk toward the far seat.
[Keqing's sensation in her buttocks has been stripped!]
Then, with a wicked grin, he began to spout nonsense: "I forgot to remind you—the sensation return has a cooldown. During the cooldown period, if we move too far apart, the sensation stripping will kick back in automatically..."
"What?!"
Blushing furiously, Keqing instinctively covered her backside. The memory of that unique sensation earlier was far too vivid!
She quickly blurted out, "Don't go! Come back! Just... just sit right here next to me!"
"Coming!" Jiang Yun turned around nimbly and sat back down by her side.
[Keqing's sensation in her buttocks has been restored!]
Because Jiang Yun's "devilish claws" weren't molesting her this time, Keqing didn't lose her composure when the sensation returned.
"Phew..."
She let out a long sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Yun gloomily. "How long is the cooldown? You can't possibly stay by my side every second without ever leaving, can you?"
"It's not quite that extreme. As for the cooldown, it should be over by the time we get off work today!"
"That's good then. In that case, you have to stay with me properly until we finish for the day..."
You have to stay with me properly until we finish!
Keqing had intended to say that, but before she could finish, the words felt strange—almost as if she were a girlfriend in a passionate relationship demanding her boyfriend's company.
Jiang Yun seized the opportunity, asking with a grin, "Keqing, what did you say? Who is it that I have to stay with?"
Keqing abruptly changed her tune. "No one! Just sit down and get to work!"
Jiang Yun pulled out his chair and sat at the desk. Keqing sat down beside him, her faint fragrance constantly wafting toward him. He looked at the map book seriously, but the sound of him flipping the pages grew louder and louder as he began to mumble:
"Oh my... who could it be that wants me to stay with them? It's so hard to guess... I can't calm my mind without the answer. If my mind isn't calm, I can't focus on the ledger... Jiang Yun, oh Jiang Yun, this is a ledger concerning the construction planning of Liyue Harbor, a task assigned by the Yuheng herself. You mustn't be so careless..."
"Pfft—!"
Keqing, who had been in a state of embarrassed indignation, was completely amused by Jiang Yun's exaggerated performance. She quickly covered her mouth and turned her head away to avoid being teased further, but her shoulders were shaking with laughter.
How could Jiang Yun let this chance go?
He pretended to be oblivious and asked, "Keqing, you really do love your work, don't you? You're actually laughing with joy while on the clock."
"You have the nerve to say that to me? Weren't you laughing just as much when you were teasing me earlier?"
Keqing took a few deep breaths to regain her composure before looking at him. "Jiang Yun, I will answer your question: I want you to stay with me properly until we finish work!"
Jiang Yun acted as if he had just had an epiphany. "Oh! So that's how it is!"
"Are you satisfied now? If you are, then get to work and stop being so cheeky! Memorizing the maps is a serious matter..." Keqing pointed to the map book, speaking with earnest gravity. "First, it's for Liyue's construction. Second, it's to avoid danger. The wilderness of Liyue is crawling with Hilichurls, Treasure Hoarders, the Fatui, and other dangerous entities. In the future, you may have to go out into the field with me. If you encounter danger and don't know the maps, not even an adeptus could save you!"
"The Yuheng's lesson is well-taken. However... I've already memorized them."
"So confident?" Keqing narrowed her violet eyes. "Then I think I shall have to test you."
