Chapter 46: Flower and Girl

After the banquet, Jiang Yan, who had been forced to drink so much he could barely walk steady, staggered out of the tent.

Before he had taken two steps, he saw in the distance a figure sitting on the far hillside.

"Little Ganyu, what are you doing sitting here?"

Stumbling forward to sit beside her, Jiang Yan spoke with seven parts drunkenness in his voice.

"A-Yan, look."

Jiang Yan followed Little Ganyu's finger and looked ahead.

It was a sea.

More precisely, a sea of flowers.

"This is......"

A hint of familiarity surfaced in Jiang Yan's eyes, but his dizzy head had clearly stopped functioning.

"Those are flower seeds the Lord brought, called Glazed Lilies"

Little Ganyu leaned gently against Jiang Yan's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ah... so it's these......"

Jiang Yan recalled the name of the flowers in this sea of blooms.

"Morax's eye isn't bad — these flower seeds bought with two million catties of grain. Truly not a loss."

"Yes, the Lord's eye has never erred."

Little Ganyu agreed with a smile.

The wind blew softly across both their cheeks, bringing a faint fragrance of Glazed Lilies.

"Do you like them?"

Jiang Yan pressed his palms together, then raised his hand.

Within the sea of Glazed Lilies, the finest-looking one suddenly burst from the earth.

A little vine coiled around the blossom and delivered it into Jiang Yan's palm.

Jiang Yan pinched the flower and gently tucked it into Little Ganyu's hair.

"Ah!"

Little Ganyu let out a startled cry, a blush flying across her pretty face.

One flower, one person, a lifetime.

"The most beautiful flower naturally pairs with the most beautiful person."

Jiang Yan had never seen Little Ganyu look so lovely.

The alcohol surging in his head, Jiang Yan involuntarily leaned in and kissed her.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Little Ganyu did not resist, only shyly closed her eyes.

The moment their lips met, there was no further movement.

"Eh?!"

Little Ganyu's eyes suddenly went wide.

The big boy before her had actually started snoring.

He actually fell asleep!!

No way!

How could he fall asleep mid-kiss, hey!

"You this......"

"You stupid drunkard!!"

Little Ganyu, embarrassed and angry, shoved Jiang Yan away.

But then she hugged him again and gently laid him across her plump thighs.

Looking at the person fast asleep before her, Little Ganyu gently smoothed Jiang Yan's silver hair.

The wind blew softly, carrying a sweet scent.

In the distance, Lady Guizhong, Liuyun, Geshenglangshi and a group of other female adepts were watching the two on the hillside with auntie-like smiles.

"Ah! Little Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu are really so sweet......"

Lady Guizhong's pretty face flushed slightly as she covered it, shaking her head side to side.

"Hmph! That brat got the better of it! Not a bit as cute as when he was little!"

Liuyun snorted tsundere-ly.

"Before you say that, put down that wildly rising corner of your mouth first."

Geshenglangshi covered her mouth and laughed, teasing the tsundere bird beside her.

"Who... whose mouth corner is rising, hmph!"

Exposed by Geshenglangshi, Liuyun's pretty face also flushed slightly, and she turned to leave.

"I'll go check on the Lord and the others — Jiang Yan is already this drunk, they're probably no better."

"Mm-hm? Don't even think about running!"

"A few grown men getting drunk is getting drunk, what are you going over there for?"

True Lord Geshenglangshi grabbed hold of True Lord Liuyunjiefeng's human-form delicate body in one embrace.

"Oh my, why does it feel like yours has gotten a bit bigger there?"

"Really?!"

Lady Guizhong leaned in curiously, a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Ping!"

Liuyun's pretty face flushed scarlet at Geshenshi's sudden ambush.

"You two..."

"Cut it out, will you?!"

A gentle breeze brushed past the glazed lilies, carrying with it the fragrance of their blossoms, and delivered it into every household in Guili Plain.

Even those slumbering couldn't help but show a faint smile.

The next morning.

"Mm... so thirsty!"

Jiang Yan groggily opened his eyes.

What came into view was a head of blue hair adorned with a pair of horns.

He gazed at the person sleeping soundly in his arms.

A flicker of thought passed through Jiang Yan's eyes.

He... last night...

Probably didn't do anything, right?

Hiss!!!
