"You'd better not be."

Looking up at the sky, Gu Chen said: "It's getting late, the way back is very far, I'll take Klee back first."

"Okay, see you next time~" Venti waved.

Watching Klee bouncing away with Gu Chen, the smile on Venti's face became brighter.

"Mondstadt really picked up a treasure~"

"G-heh, it feels so good to have someone help hold up the work~"

After the words fell, Venti turned into a light breeze and disappeared.

Gu Chen, who had walked far away, suddenly looked back, a trace of realization flashing in his eyes.

[Dvalin]: The Sect Master is almost certain that Venti is the Anemo Archon, right?

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From the moment Klee's bomb was blown away by the wind, the Sect Master noticed it. After all, that gust of wind didn't look like a naturally blown wind at all, and Venti turning into wind and disappearing was perceived by the Sect Master, which can be said to have directly confirmed Venti's identity.

[Venti]: Was I exposed so quickly? (Scratch head)

[Shikanoin Heizou]: Venti, you still haven't substituted yourself into the video. I personally tend to think that Venti in the video did this on purpose. Analyzing from Mondstadt's history, the Anemo Archon rarely appears. Such a Mondstadt is naturally a bit lacking in confidence when facing Snezhnaya, after all, the other side's god has always been in power. And Venti's performance is hinting to Gu Chen, indicating that the Anemo Archon is still there, just go ahead and do it.

[Dvalin]: What? Venti has this consideration? He has this wisdom?

[Venti]: This belongs to awkward black, after all, I've lived for nearly three thousand years, isn't it normal to have a little wisdom? (Paimon: Hmph)

[Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli]: From a general rational perspective, Shikanoin Heizou's analysis is reasonable, I hold the same opinion, and I think Venti should really want to be friends with the Sect Master, borrowing the Sect Master's name to eat and drink. (Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Seeing Zhongli: Drink tea)

[Barbara]: When Gu Chen said don't do bad things in his name, Venti was obviously guilty!

[Kaeya]: This is our Mondstadt's Anemo Archon, the main theme is 'freedom'!

[Alhaitham]: But one point that must be mentioned is that behind this unreliability, he is hidden very deep.

[Paimon]: Riddle-makers are like this.

[Lumine]: Why did the dead memory suddenly start attacking me? (Annoyed)

[Venti]: (Crawling G-heh G-heh)

Knights of Favonius.

When Gu Chen held Klee back, it was already dark.

The Knights' office building was still brightly lit.

Jean stood at the main entrance waiting, and after seeing them return, she wanted to say something, but gave up when she saw Klee sleeping soundly in Gu Chen's arms.

Gently taking the sleeping little Klee, arranging her in her room, Jean closed the door carefully and said: "Is she tired?"

"Threw bombs all day, tired when it got dark." Gu Chen nodded.

"Threw bombs all day?!"

Jean took a deep breath, her budding softness heaving violently.

Gu Chen is her superior, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only sigh deeply.

"I have a sense of proportion, don't worry." Gu Chen shook his head, then said: "It's already past work hours, you don't have night work, still working overtime at the Knights...?"

"No, no."

Jean seemed to remember something, her cheeks flushed for a moment and she shook her head repeatedly.

After returning from the Gunnhildr family, Jean returned to the office according to her usual habits, only to find that there was no need to work today.

Thinking about it, she had nothing to do, so she simply picked up the novel Frederica gave her and started reading.

"The Cold Vice-Captain Falls in Love with Me"

It didn't matter if she read it, she didn't realize it was dark, which made Jean a bit dazed now.

"Mm?" Gu Chen looked at Jean suspiciously: "It seems that privacy issues make it inconvenient for you to answer."

Jean said in a panic: "Vice-Captain..."

"It's off-work time now." Gu Chen shook his head.

Jean paused and said in a low voice: "Gu Chen... can you not ask..."

"?"

Gu Chen was stunned, thoughtful.

A topic that can make Jean flush and ask him not to ask should be a girl's private matter.

"Then I won't ask, rest early."

After speaking, Gu Chen walked towards his residence.

After watching him leave, Jean breathed a sigh of relief.

[Nilou]: Question time! What is this wave called?! (Excited)

[Collei]: Any experts!!

[Yae Miko]: This is called "Peeking at a romance novel and imagining yourself as the heroine, almost discovered by the male god"!

[Kirara]: Still have to be Yae Miko big senior! (Worship)

[Lisa]: Jean, you wouldn't want your fantasy about the Vice-Captain to be spread out, would you?

[Jean]: ???.

The office building of the Favonius Knights is very large.

The residences of Grand Master Varka and Vice Grand Master Gu Chen are actually on the top floor of the office building.

One is to facilitate work at any time, and the other is that the environment here is also very good.

Early in the morning, Gu Chen's door was knocked.

"Wait a moment."

Gu Chen changed his clothes and opened the door, looking down.

Little Klee was carrying her school bag, looking up at Gu Chen with expectation, obviously ready.

"Not today, there is still a lot of work to deal with, you submit the outing application to the office, and someone will be arranged to go with you then." Gu Chen said.

Little Klee was disappointed when she heard this, thinking she could go out and play with Big Brother.

But she could go out to play after all, so she nodded obediently and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu Chen, Klee wants a workshop."

"To make bombs?" Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Uh-huh!" Klee admitted honestly.

"You file a report, and I will approve it for you then." Gu Chen nodded, and then said: "Lisa, the librarian, also has a potion workshop, maybe you can go see her."

"Klee knows." Klee nodded.

While going downstairs to the office, Gu Chen said: "The Cavalry Company has no tasks in the past few days, Cavalry Captain Kaeya has the strength to protect you, just treat it as a business trip."

"Yay!" Little Klee cheered.

Arriving at the office, Jean was already working here.

After seeing Klee, Jean thought about it and said: "Klee, throwing bombs is fine, but don't throw them randomly, remember not to hurt anyone, and don't destroy the local ecological environment too much."

"Uh-huh, Klee understands!"

Klee nodded repeatedly.

Gu Chen signed her outing application and said: "Go find Kaeya."

"Thank you Brother Gu Chen!"

Little Klee ran away with a bright smile.

Jean rubbed her eyebrows and said: "Are you sure it won't delay Kaeya's work?"

"Even if it sacrifices a little, it doesn't matter. This little guy has great potential. Maybe we can have a demolition knight in the future?" Gu Chen smiled lightly.

Although it is indeed possible in the future, it is obviously not visible yet.

Jean shook her head and said: "Let's eat breakfast first."

"Hmm."

After eating breakfast and coming back, Gu Chen was called away by Varka.

In the office.

Varka said: "The place is arranged in the Knights, and I have already taken care of the rest, the only thing is that there may be many guests coming."

Gu Chen's prestige in the Knights and his reputation among the people are terrifying.

Varka laughed: "If it weren't for the support of the Gunnhildr family, I'm afraid this money would have to be taken from the Knights' budget."

Gu Chen asked in confusion: "Support from the Gunnhildr family? My coming-of-age ceremony has nothing to do with them, right?"

"Eh, you can't say it like that." Varka waved his hand, and his eyes became a bit ambiguous: "To use the words from Go Go Go Liyue, you have to consider starting a family after coming of age. Your career is developing in full swing, but there is no progress in starting a family... we are all anxious!"

"Please, I'm only eighteen." Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.
