Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Ganyu’s Eavesdropping

Ganyu crept into the adjacent room, pressing her ear against the wall to listen intently.

The Qixing's offices were soundproofed, making it impossible for normal people to listen through the walls, but to Ganyu, the wall might as well not have existed. Any tiny sound could not escape her sensitive ears. Soon, she heard their voices.

The sound of a girl's busy, muffled movements. The sound of Jiang Yun stroking purple hair and pressing down on a head. A long series of swallowing sounds. A distinct "pop" as things separated.

Then, the girl's sharp cry of indignation!

"JIANG—YUN—!!"

"Let me help you..."

"No need! I'll do it myself. Give me some paper!"

There were faint sounds of wiping and the girl's complaints: "You are truly a wicked man... and you still have the nerve to laugh?!"

"Keqing, rest for a bit. I'll restore your sensations in a moment."

"No need! I spent years surveying terrain; I'm not that weak... Why are you suddenly grabbing my waist?!"

"I thought you might have trouble standing up."

"Just how much are you looking down on me?" The girl's voice was full of dissatisfaction.

"You couldn't even stand straight this morning."

"I... fine. Hold me if you must, but don't take advantage!"

"I've already taken a 'huge' advantage just now, what's a little more?" Jiang Yun's voice was filled with amusement.

"This is the Yuheng's office, not the Liyue wharf. Stop bargaining!" The girl urged, "Quickly, restore my sensations!"

"Alright, alright. Hold on tight..."

"Nngh—!!!"

The girl let out a strange sound. The sound of slender fingers gripping a sturdy arm; the sound of a head instinctively burying itself into a broad chest. The sound of a large hand gently stroking violet hair.

"Feeling better? Keqing, do you want some water?"

"Don't give me that! Your 'concern' is about as real as a wooden Mora!"

After a brief struggle, the sound of the girl drinking water followed. Once she finished, Jiang Yun's voice rang out again.

"To be fair, my concern is real. If a wooden Mora could give you water, you'd be too scared to drink it."

"Pfft!"

The girl's brief laughter seemed to be forcefully stifled.

"Stop with the jokes. I've given you the reward I promised, and you've given me back my sensations. How much longer do you plan to hold my waist?"

"Don't be in such a hurry! Seeing how hard you worked just now, I have a little reward for you too."

"What are you up to now?" The girl's voice was instantly guarded.

"Here, take these."

"What are...?" The girl's confusion turned into a shy gasp. "Those indecent photos you took?!"

"Exactly! Every photo from today and yesterday is right here. You can take them home and appreciate them at your leisure."

"Who would 'appreciate' these things?!"

The sound of photos being stuffed into a dress followed, along with the girl's question: "Why are you suddenly willing to give them to me?"

"You wanted them because you were worried I'd use them to ruin your reputation, didn't you? In truth, I would never do that... of course, words are cheap, so I'm giving them to you."

"You don't have any other copies?"

"None."

"Really?!"

"Of course it's true!"

The girl took a deep breath. "Fine, Jiang Yun. I take back what I said earlier. Your concern isn't fake after all. Hmm... though you're quite bad, you aren't completely beyond redemption!" She hesitated for a moment. "And I promise I won't hold the events of the last two days against you! Honestly, you have a brilliant memory and you're articulate. If you train as my assistant for a few years, it's not impossible for you to stand alongside the Qixing in the future..."

"Is that so? Lady Keqing thinks that highly of me?"

"I'm being serious! Don't use that teasing tone... oh, here. Take this!"

The girl seemed to pull something out and slap it against Jiang Yun's chest.

"Didn't you take those pictures for memories? Keep this 'proper' photo as a souvenir then!"

"Hmm... as I thought. You're still the most beautiful in this one."

"Alright, alright! Stop saying things like that! It's time to get off work. I'm leaving!"

The two left the office one after the other. Ganyu remained pressed against the wall, the shock on her beautiful face impossible to hide.

When normal lovers finish being intimate, shouldn't they be all sweet and affectionate? Why do these two do the opposite and trade strange remarks? Or is swapping 'strange' photos their unique hobby?

Ganyu couldn't understand it, but she was deeply shaken. She tried to visualize everything they had done in her mind...

As she imagined it, she felt her body growing hot, and her silk-clad legs pressed together tightly. No! I can't keep thinking about this! This feeling is too strange!

To regain her cool, she looked out the window at the scenery. She suddenly spotted Jiang Yun's departing back. Is his home in that direction?

Driven by curiosity, Ganyu began to follow him in secret.

After leaving Yujing Terrace, Jiang Yun didn't rush back to the Serenitea Pot. He planned to head to the nearby Statue of the Seven to complete his Geo Resonance! That way, he could use the Geo element; if he faced danger in the future, he'd at least have a means of self-defense.

Finally, he reached the foot of the massive Statue of the Seven and slowly reached out to begin the elemental resonance.

Watching from a distance, Ganyu couldn't help but sigh. He's actually quite devout. His attitude toward the gods is the complete opposite of Keqing's, and yet they...

The images from her imagination flashed through Ganyu's mind again, and her legs rubbed together against the silk fabric once more. What on earth is wrong with me?

The unanswerable questions and the strange heat in her body haunted Ganyu late into the night.

That night, Ganyu wasn't the only Liyue woman struggling to sleep. Keqing was in bed, just as she had been the night before—completely unclothed—silently flipping through the photos Jiang Yun had given her.

"That jerk... he even took a photo of the moment that 'mess' hit my eye!"

In a fit of pique, Keqing moved to tear the photo up, but in the end, her anger cooled and she couldn't bring herself to do it. She set the photo aside, covering her face with her hands, trying to close her eyes and calm down.

But the moment she closed them, she couldn't help but remember all the sensations of the past two days. Jiang Yun's roguish smirk became clearer and clearer in her mind...

"That man... he truly is my bane!"

With her face flushed red, her hand slowly slid down from her cheek...

Jiang Yun had no idea that both the Yuheng and the Qixing's secretary were losing sleep because of him. Having just obtained the Geo element, he was in the Serenitea Pot, practicing tirelessly to master some reliable combat skills.

"Starfell Sword!" "Wake of Earth!"

"As expected, the Geo Traveler's skills are easy to use. In theory, I should be able to learn the skills of other Geo users as well..."

Jiang Yun was about to reach out and try "Planet Befall," but the System's voice suddenly rang out.
