Chapter 600

~7 min read 1,232 words

After the simple and innocent Keqing trusted Hearing Luo Li for half an hour.

She could only lean against him, weak all over, letting the other party pick her up and rush toward the bedroom.

"If you can't drink, don't drink so much; you almost drowned in the pool."

Hearing Luo Li looked helplessly at Keqing, whose eyes were hazy and whose face was flushed; the young girl was slightly tipsy, and she probably couldn't even think clearly.

"I didn't, I can still hold on!"

"Alright, alright, stop acting tough."

Because he was holding her in a bridal carry, Hearing Luo Li pinched her plump, soft thigh to show his dissatisfaction.

Keqing kicked him with her small feet, her words carrying a spoiled tone: "I can still drink! You... you put me down!"

Fine, her mouth is truly stubborn.

Hearing Luo Li ignored her weak resistance and carried Keqing to the master bedroom complex of the massive residence.

Because of its huge footprint, the master bedroom alone was over two hundred square meters.

"What a corrupt capitalist."

Sighing, Hearing Luo Li lowered his head slightly to look at Keqing's current posture.

Perhaps because she was drunk, the young girl lost her usual shyness, and her hazy big eyes kept staring at him, not moving away for a single second.

"With such a big place, didn't you, as the one in charge of land, get yourself some backdoors?"

The Liyue Qixing each manage different departments; Keqing is responsible for land and some related industries.

For example, the mining industry, the glaze industry, and the Blackcliff Forge that extend from land are actually under her management.

"Stop looking down on people; although I don't have as much money as Ningguang, I'm not that far behind."

She didn't forget to refute even while drunk, but Hearing Luo Li completely believed Keqing's words.

Before the Liyue Qixing were the rulers of the country, they were also the seven largest merchants in Liyue, and their control over money and resources would likely amaze anyone who knew about it.

"Got it, got it, be quiet."

She usually doesn't talk much, but now she wouldn't stop talking.

Hearing Luo Li shook his head slightly and soon brought Keqing back to her bedroom, putting her down along with the bath towel she was wrapped in.

The young girl was already muddled, and after returning to a familiar place, she immediately closed her eyes; plus, she trusted the person beside her very much, so she fell asleep peacefully, not caring about the bath towel that had loosened due to the lack of restraint.

Hearing Luo Li took a look at Keqing's beautiful scenery at this moment, although he appreciated it, he didn't do anything else.

If he were to do something, he would at least wait until she was clear-headed.

"Too lazy to go to the guest room; I'll just make do for the night here."

Saying this, Hearing Luo Li moved Keqing slightly inward and then lay down himself.

The moment he lay down, for some reason, Keqing clung to him like a body pillow, muttering lines that couldn't be heard clearly.

Unfortunately, he hadn't brought the mirror artifact from Inazuma, otherwise, he would have really liked to record this scene and show it to Keqing tomorrow.

"Well then, good night, A-Qing."

Lowering his head to whisper to Keqing, who had snuggled up to his neck, Hearing Luo Li flicked his finger to extinguish the lights in the room.

…………

One night passed!

When the sun rose from the end of the Sea of Clouds the next day, Yujing Terrace and Feiyun Slope gradually regained their vitality.

Sunlight shone through the open windows and the thin gauze screens into the inner room, quietly banishing the darkness that had filled the room.

Inside the residence, from some unknown time, a series of light footsteps came from outside the master bedroom.

Immediately followed by the whispers of maids talking to each other, vaguely containing lines like "still sleeping," "two pairs of shoes," and "that's the man."

The voices, mixed with surprise and curiosity, were as ethereal as clouds and smoke, not heard very clearly.

Afterward, the maids hurried away, and the sounds gradually disappeared.

Inside the master bedroom!

Lying on the bed, Keqing was gradually awakened by these faint noises.

The moment she was awakened, the young girl was very dissatisfied for a moment.

Because she had never slept so soundly, the warmth coming from beside her made her unable to help but want to immerse herself in it from now on, completely unwilling to leave.

"I really want to sleep a little longer."

Since becoming one of the Qixing, this was the first time Keqing had the thought of sleeping in; usually, at this time, she would have already gotten up and headed to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for a new day of work.

"What's going on today? Something seems different from before."

Her body, which was going against her habits, made Keqing feel that something was wrong, and then her mind gradually became clear, and her reason slowly recovered.

Her amethyst-like eyes opened, and the pitch-black perspective was filled with light.

What entered Keqing's eyes was a handsome face filled with demonic beauty.

Like a curse bestowed by the heavens, a magic that makes all members of the opposite sex fall in love with the other party.

Staring blankly at this face for a long while, until a certain moment, she suddenly reacted.

Wait, why was she lying in Hearing Hearing Luo Li arms?

Her eyes widened in an instant; Keqing was a little surprised, but didn't dare to move and wake him up.

At this moment, she was leaning against Hearing Luo Li, completely immersed in his embrace in an unguarded posture.

Recalling why it had become like this, her brain soon replayed all the memories of last night.

A moment later, Keqing understood everything.

Although she was drunk, her memories were still preserved quite well, and there were no gaps.

While realizing this, Keqing didn't break free from his embrace at the first moment, but instead followed her instincts to continue leaning against him with peace of mind, enjoying the feeling of being held.

Staring at this face that was still sleeping, a few smiles appeared in the young girl's eyes, and even the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with this scene.

If she could, she hoped to stay a little longer.

(Money Zhao) Unfortunately, she always had to get up to handle affairs.

Considering this, Keqing forcibly severed her reluctance, gently broke free from his embrace, turned over his body, and got up to change clothes.

However, a few minutes later, the usual Lady Yuheng appeared in the room again.

Twin tails, black silk, a cold and decisive temperament, a light dress.

None of which proved that Keqing had already entered work mode.

However, before leaving, she returned to the bedside again, looking at Hearing Hearing Luo Li appearance, hesitating for a long while, not knowing how many psychological battles she had gone through.

Finally, Keqing made up her mind, leaned down, pecked his lips lightly, and then immediately fled in a panic, as if she were stealing food and afraid of being caught.

Almost the moment Keqing left the room, Hearing Luo Li opened his eyes with a playful smile.
