Regret. If there was anything to say, it was only the word regret.
Why did I suddenly think of asking Cloud Retainer for help…
Stelle looked at Ganyu, who was still diligently working on him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If he hadn't been confined to the bed, powerless, how could he have allowed Ganyu to ride on him?
This can't go on...
He slowly closed his eyes, pondering a way out of the predicament.
Of course, because of Ganyu's actions, his thoughts were always fragmented.
A long time later, when Ganyu finally couldn't hold back and trembled for the first time, he finally found an opportunity.
He didn't know if it was Cloud Retainer's deliberate arrangement, but at that moment, all the ropes binding him seemed to lose their support and loosened.
He didn't hesitate at all; he quickly flipped over, pinning Ganyu, who was still in a daze after experiencing his first time, beneath him.
Then, those ropes seemed to have a will of their own, instantly tying Ganyu up securely.
"Pop~" He pulled out the object that had been blocking his mouth.
"Hah... This was really exhausting." He panted slightly, looking at Ganyu, whose eyes were glazed over beneath him, feeling a bit helpless.
He had been wondering what method Cloud Retainer would use to bring Ganyu, but he didn't expect him to resort to such means in the end.
However, since things had come to this, he couldn't do anything, especially since Ganyu had just drunk the 'tea' squeezed from him; he was probably completely irrational by now.
If he didn't help Ganyu, he might have serious problems in the future.
"Sorry, Ganyu, but I really like you too..." He directly shoved the still-damp, round object in his hand into Ganyu's mouth.
The tables had turned; now it was his turn.
...
In another room, Cloud Retainer was quietly sipping tea in his seat.
Of course, he had also added the flower honey he had squeezed today to the tea, and the taste was far better than ordinary tea.
"It seems that if I take on more disciples in the future, I can't neglect this aspect of their education." Cloud Retainer put down his teacup, stroking his chin as he spoke.
In front of him was a rather modern-looking object.
An unusually large screen.
The images on the screen were self-explanatory, showing everything happening in the adjacent room.
From just now until this moment, everything that had happened was under Cloud Retainer's watchful eye, which was why he had made such a remark.
After all, Ganyu's previous actions looked incredibly clumsy.
Naturally, he felt that this was his fault as a master; he had taught his disciples everything he knew, but he had never taught them knowledge in this area.
Thinking about it now, it was indeed a dereliction of educational duty. Shenhe was fine, but Ganyu, perhaps due to his personality, even after drinking the undiluted tea, didn't proceed as he had imagined.
As a result, he had to untie the ropes later, leaving everything for him to take the lead again.
He had originally wanted to see him frustrated all night, but now he couldn't; he could only let him off easy.
Let him collect some interest... Anyway, it looked like Ganyu should be close to his limit.
Thinking this, Cloud Retainer slowly got up and walked towards that room.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, he woke up between two soft masses.
The scent and sensation of these Slimes were somewhat different from what he had felt before; he probably guessed it was Ganyu...
He didn't rush to open his eyes, because he could hear Ganyu seemingly talking to someone.
Oh, and his back also had the same sensation as his cheek; presumably, the person behind him was Cloud Retainer.
He remembered that after he had teased Ganyu last night, Cloud Retainer had joined in under the pretext of 'avenging his disciple'.
Already exhausted, he naturally had no room to resist, and so... the memories after that became blurry.
Was this his body's protective mechanism kicking in?
He shook those jumbled thoughts out of his mind and concentrated on listening to Ganyu and Cloud Retainer's conversation.
"Cloud, Cloud Retainer... how could you do this...?" Ganyu's voice sounded soft and weak, but it seemed to carry a hint of a sob and a tremor.
This made his heart sink. Could it be that Ganyu, after regaining consciousness, completely couldn't accept what had happened last night?
This would be difficult; since his first mistake, no girl had ever reacted like this.
"Your master is doing this for your own good. Seeing you so busy and tired every day, how can your master be at ease?" Cloud Retainer's voice carried a hint of laziness, as if he hadn't taken Ganyu's words to heart at all.
"But, but, we did such a rebellious thing to Miss Ann. When Miss Ann wakes up, how will we explain it?!" Ganyu's voice was very small, but still carried urgency.
"You can't say that. You've seen this child's good points. If we don't do it, others will, or rather, we weren't the first ones to make a move..."
The conversation between the two left him a bit confused for a moment. It seemed Ganyu was complaining about himself, not having any opinion of him.
If that was the case, then he could relax.
"Even, even so, we can't..."
"Just relax. This child won't mind; he might even enjoy it."
After Cloud Retainer said this, he could still feel his hand below gently pinching.
It seemed the other party must have discovered he was feigning sleep.
He frowned slightly, only able to silently endure; he didn't want to wake up now.
"I..." Ganyu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to.
After a long silence, he finally moved his body slightly, seemingly wanting to get up.
"Don't move. What if you wake him up again?" Cloud Retainer said.
"But, but Yuehai Pavilion, I'll be late..."
"With something like this happening, are you still going to work?" Cloud Retainer said somewhat helplessly.
"Promises made cannot be broken. As for Miss Ann... I'll come find him tonight to explain clearly." Ganyu looked down at him, who was nestled in his arms, his cheeks slightly flushed, but his expression had become resolute.
"I will take responsibility for Miss Ann!"
"?"
He had a face full of question marks in his heart. This was backwards, wasn't it? Who was taking responsibility for whom...?
