Currently, Mr. Fang Xun held the child with one hand, while his other hand was tightly held by Ganyu.
To avoid waking the two beautiful women, he maintained his sitting posture motionless throughout.
Holding Ningguang was fine.
Because the little girl had not yet developed, she wasn't heavy, giving a light feeling.
So, even holding her, there was no pressure and he didn't feel tired.
On the other hand, Ganyu made Mr. Fang Xun a bit overwhelmed.
After all, the black Slime was too large and fierce.
A single move, Mount Tai Pressing Down, made Mr. Fang Xun feel immense pressure...
Mr. Fang Xun couldn't help but smile wryly.
Was this what you call pain and happiness?
If he absolutely had to endure this pain,
Mr. Fang Xun's answer was: please increase the intensity!
...
After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Fang Xun heard footsteps and the sound of armor clashing.
He looked up and saw a team of Millelith approaching.
"Ganyu, we found something while clearing the site, please..."
The Millelith was originally reporting the situation,
But seeing Ganyu sleeping soundly, the Millelith's voice abruptly stopped.
Ganyu had a habit of taking a nap, which was known among the Millelith.
As Liyue's First Secretary, Ganyu was usually very busy.
So, whenever it was Ganyu's nap time, everyone implicitly refrained from disturbing her.
Now, the Millelith realized they had disturbed her and immediately showed apologetic expressions.
Of course,
Besides apologies, their faces showed more surprise.
Because the Millelith all knew that Ganyu's nap posture was curled up in a ball,
And it hadn't changed for all these years.
But today, Ganyu was actually napping leaning on Mr. Fang Xun's shoulder?
Moreover,
Ganyu looked very close to Mr. Fang Xun,
Even while asleep, Ganyu was tightly holding Mr. Fang Xun's arm, unwilling to let go.
Seeing this scene, the Millelith felt as if a storm had raged in their hearts.
Is Ganyu dating Mr. Fang Xun??
Regarding this,
The Millelith could also understand.
After all, as Liyue's First Secretary, Ganyu had been dedicated to maintaining Liyue's order for many years.
She couldn't possibly be busy with her career her entire life, so finding a partner was reasonable.
In fact, the Millelith were sincerely happy for her and offered their blessings.
Immediately after, the Millelith were also worried about being a third wheel here, affecting Mr. Fang Xun and Ganyu,
So they quickly wanted to finish their report and not disturb them.
"Mr. Fang Xun, when Ganyu wakes up, please help us hand her this incomplete letter."
"We suspect this letter might be related to the Fatui, but the Millelith cannot understand its meaning, so we would like to ask Ganyu to help investigate."
"We're done, we won't disturb you anymore."
The Millelith handed the letter to Mr. Fang Xun, then hurriedly left.
They truly didn't want to be a third wheel at all.
As they left, the captain of this Millelith squad turned to the team members behind him and said, "What we just saw, no one can say anything about it, understood?"
"That's Ganyu's private privacy, we can't spread rumors."
The members of the squad nodded like pounding garlic, solemnly assuring him,
"Don't worry, boss, don't you know our personalities? We've always been tight-lipped!"
"Exactly, boss, what kind of people do you take us for? How could we possibly talk about such gossip?"
Before long,
Gossip had spread throughout Liyue.
"Have you heard? Ganyu seems to be in love? Today, the Millelith happened to see Ganyu's partner, I heard he's an outlander, a handsome young man?"
"What? How is your news so outdated? I heard Ganyu has been secretly married for several years, and her child can already buy soy sauce!"
.....
Back to Mr. Fang Xun,
Since he had nothing to do, he decided to read the letter found by the Millelith to pass the time.
The letter was badly burned and torn, with most of the handwriting blurred and missing.
Only a few words remained in the bottom right corner.
Although there were few words, the information was surprisingly astonishing!
Mr. Fang Xun first saw a phrase: 'Unseal Osial'!
Mr. Fang Xun had an impression of Osial.
In the original plot, Osial was the God of the Vortex.
During the God War, he was suppressed in the sea by Lord of Geo.
Later, he was released by Childe of the Fatui.
That God's power was too terrifying; even the Adepti and the Liyue Seven Stars working together couldn't suppress him.
Ultimately, Ningguang destroyed the Qunyu Pavilion at a great cost to eliminate Osial.
According to the timeline, the time for Osial's revival was still very distant.
But now, the event had actually been brought forward by twenty years??
Why is this happening?
Did something interfere with the timeline and change the course of events?
Mr. Fang Xun couldn't figure out the reason, but it definitely had some connection to him.
And the immediate priority now was to find a way to stop the Fatui.
If Osial was truly released from the bottom of the sea,
Liyue would probably fall into endless darkness!
It was at this moment,
Mr. Fang Xun felt his arm suddenly much lighter.
He subconsciously looked up,
And saw Ganyu, her face flushed with embarrassment, looking somewhat at a loss.
"I'm, I'm so sorry, I was just too sleepy and couldn't help but fall asleep, I've caused you trouble."
Ganyu clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands, her beautiful eyes filled with shyness, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Normally, she would curl up in a ball for her nap,
Why did she end up sleeping leaning on Mr. Fang Xun's shoulder today??
And when Ganyu woke up, she also found herself tightly hugging Mr. Fang Xun's arm.
Ugh...
So embarrassing...
Aside from hugging her master, Cloud Retainer, like this when she was little, Ganyu had never made such an out-of-character move.
How rude...
It must have caused Mr. Fang Xun a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Ganyu felt even more ashamed and kept apologizing to Mr. Fang Xun.
Seeing this, Mr. Fang Xun found Ganyu even more adorable.
Ganyu had lived for over two thousand years, yet her personality was like a shy little girl.
Her blushing appearance truly made one want to pinch her.
But if he really did that, Ganyu would probably become even shyer.
To this, Mr. Fang Xun just waved his hand and then casually said, "Miss Ganyu, actually, you don't have to be so hard on yourself. I know it was unintentional."
"Everyone gets sleepy sometimes. Ningguang does, and so do I. It's very normal and understandable."
Mr. Fang Xun paused, a faint smile on his face: "Moreover, Miss Ganyu is very light, so even if you sleep on my shoulder, I won't feel tired."
"So, you don't have to blame yourself."
Listening to Mr. Fang Xun's comforting words, Ganyu felt a surge of emotion inside.
All along, she had been the type to worry about causing trouble for others,
So in everything she did, Ganyu would prioritize others' feelings.
And now, listening to Mr. Fang Xun's comfort, Ganyu's mood finally improved a little.
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Xun."
It was at this moment that Mr. Fang Xun heard the system's voice in his mind.
"Ding! Detected an increase in Ganyu's friendship with the host."
"Ganyu's friendship has increased from level 0 to level 1. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 intertwined fate. Additionally, you have received a five-star artifact, Death Feather, Gladiator's Finale."
