Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Successful Deception

"I don't! All I feel is that you're teasing me, just like... just like how you teased Keqing!"

The words reached the tip of her tongue, but Ganyu swallowed them back. If she revealed the fact that she had been eavesdropping now, Jiang Yun would have even more reason to tease her.

He immediately followed up with a roguish grin. "Just like what? Speak clearly, and perhaps we can end this."

"Just like... No, I'm not saying it!"

Jiang Yun smirked. "Not saying it? Doesn't that mean, Miss Ganyu, that you're actually enjoying this and don't want it to end?"

"I..." That actually sounds logical.

No! He's bullying me. Now is not the time for logic!

Ganyu shook her head in embarrassment. After a brief pause, she continued, "I want to end this. End it right now. Let go of me!"

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 53]

"Liar! Miss Ganyu, that is the second lie you've told! To help you find your 'conscience,' I'll have to extend the time I spend touching it by another ten minutes!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yun suddenly increased the intensity of his movements!

"Nngh—"

Ganyu let out a sharp cry. The intense pleasure surged from her chest to her entire body, making her feel momentarily intoxicated.

Impossible... absolutely impossible. In this situation, how could I possibly find this comfortable?!

Ganyu gritted her teeth for a long time, enduring the unspeakable, unique pleasure! Only when the sensation faded slightly did she continue in a trembling voice, "J-Jiang Yun, let go of me quickly! If you let go now, I can act as if today never happened."

"Since Miss Ganyu is so magnanimous, I think it's better if I..."

Jiang Yun intentionally dragged out his voice before shifting his tone. "...don't let go! After all, even if I don't let go, you can still act like it never happened, can't you?"

Ganyu found herself momentarily unable to argue with him. Moreover, the pleasure from the constant kneading was beginning to erode her reason.

Although she was a thousand-year-old secretary to the Qixing, she was mostly responsible for auxiliary work—execution rather than decision-making, and certainly not debating. She had always struggled to understand human emotions, so her "tongue-work" (on a debating level) had always been her weak point! In fact, while confronting Jiang Yun verbally, she felt a faint sense of agreement with him!

Terrifying! What on earth is wrong with me?

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 54]

Seeing the updated value from the system, Jiang Yun's grin widened. "Oh? It seems Miss Ganyu accepts my explanation?"

"How could I? Who would accept such a terrible explanation?!"

"Ganyu!"

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 55]

Oh, I see.

Ganyu's hesitation or silence meant that deep down, she was accepting a certain idea. Jiang Yun felt like he had discovered a new continent as he continued to tease her.

"Miss Ganyu, why are you silent? Could it be that you're agreeing with me again?"

Ganyu didn't respond; she was busy enduring the pleasure. As the kneading continued, she could feel that it wasn't just her "conscience"—every part of her, even the depths of her soul, was trembling!

How can this be? Have I gone mad?

Ganyu shook her head repeatedly and groaned helplessly, "Jiang Yun, I have nothing left to say to a person like you!"

"How can you have nothing to say? Miss Ganyu, there are at least two things you can speak on."

"...What things?"

"The two things you just lied about: first, whether you find this comfortable; and second, whether you actually want to end this immediately!"

Jiang Yun once again breathed softly into her ear, causing her snowy neck to shrink back. "Ganyu, think about it again. Is there really no feeling of comfort at all? As long as you tell the truth, you'll have a chance to end this..."

"I..."

Ganyu was blushing furiously, her eyes darting around. Her thin lips trembled for a long time before she finally spoke: "There is... a little..."

"A little what? Say it out loud!"

"A little... comfort... ngh!" Jiang Yun pressed down suddenly, eliciting a soft cry from her.

He immediately followed up: "You call this a little comfort? Speak!"

"It's... very comfortable!"

"I said at the beginning that I wanted to do something to make you comfortable, and you indeed feel very comfortable now. So, what I'm doing is quite reasonable, isn't it?"

"This..."

Ganyu's hesitation earned her another intense press! She nodded quickly. "Reasonable! It's very reasonable!"

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 57]

The value jumped by 2 points, giving Jiang Yun a pleasant surprise.

He pressed his advantage. "Look at that. A frank Miss Ganyu is so much cuter. Now for the second thing: do you want to end this situation immediately?"

"I..."

Ganyu felt like she had fallen into a verbal trap. If she said she wanted to end it, Jiang Yun would accuse her of lying! But if she said she didn't want to end it, wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted?!

"I can't answer that... No matter how I answer, the result is the same." Ganyu's voice was a complex mix of emotions: anger, pleading, grievance, shyness, and an ever-strengthening pleasure!

As the secretary to the Liyue Qixing for a thousand years, she had never felt this way before. So many complex emotions were clashing in her mind! Those human emotions she had never understood in the past suddenly seemed clear in an instant!

So strange... why would it happen in a situation like this?!

"How could it be the same?" Jiang Yun whispered in her ear like a devil. "Miss Ganyu, you just need to speak your truest thoughts, your most instinctive desires..."

"I..." Ganyu closed her eyes tight, as if facing her own heart. "I think... this is quite comfortable, and... and I don't want it to end yet!"

"Yes, that's being frank! Since Miss Ganyu doesn't want to end it yet, it's also very reasonable for me to continue 'touching your conscience,' isn't it?"

"Mm... very reasonable."

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 59]

Finally, just one point left.

Jiang Yun was calculating what to say next to raise that final point of Reasonableness.

But Ganyu spoke up suddenly: "Jiang Yun, what did I tell you? Even if I answer your questions, you won't let me go. Liar!"

"Don't think of me so poorly! Look at it from another angle—this is actually a win-win situation, isn't it? You're comfortable, and I'm comfortable..." Jiang Yun added in his head: And I get to finish a deception task.

He continued his hoodwinking: "Compare this to all the comforts you've felt in the past. You might find that today's experience is actually quite fresh..."

Comforts from the past?

With her eyes closed, Ganyu suddenly remembered the intense, inexplicable restlessness and pleasure her body had felt while eavesdropping earlier. In comparison, while today's pleasure wasn't as violent, it was truly comfortable...

[Ganyu, Reasonableness: 69]

[Ganyu has completely rationalized the Host's current behavior.]

What the hell?

A 10-point jump all at once? Was she treating the score like a volatile stock?! Jiang Yun was so stunned he even stopped his movements. He only snapped out of it when Ganyu's soft, resentful voice rang out.

"Jiang Yun... why did you stop? Didn't you say it was win-win?"
