Watching Huixin quickly leave like a ghost, holding a soaking wet pair of underpants, Keqing felt a mix of emotions.
If he had to say, Keqing and Huixin weren't very familiar, as Huixin's main job was to assist Ganyu.
In other words, procedurally, Keqing generally wouldn't have much interaction with Huixin.
However, because the other party always followed Ganyu, Keqing was familiar with her face.
The only time he had a lasting impression was when he saw her looking very strange that day, so he called out to her and asked a question.
As a result, the other party said that Stelle had arrived, and only then did he rush to where Stelle was, and that was how the subsequent events unfolded.
To be honest, the Huixin in his impression was a shrewd and capable person, and he never expected her to be like this in private.
"It's her," Stelle also had an impression of Huixin.
That day, she was the one who came to the outside of the Yuehai Pavilion to pick him up, and when they parted, he, still under the effects of the nutritional meal's medicine, gave Huixin some rewards... Wait!?
Stelle suddenly widened his eyes, feeling a bad premonition.
Could it be that his kiss back then caused Huixin to become like this?
After all, he was a succubus, a walking aphrodisiac; once one tasted a bit, they would never be able to quit and would inevitably fall into eternal damnation.
Huixin was an ordinary person; even an adeptus couldn't resist his temptation, let alone her?
He hadn't seen her since then; could it be that his neglect caused her to become like this?
The more Stelle thought about it, the more he felt it was highly possible.
He suddenly felt a surge of pressure in his heart.
"Ke, Keqing, there's something I must tell you," Stelle called Keqing's name tremblingly, intending to discuss it with him.
"Hmm?" Keqing turned his head to look at Stelle, puzzled.
Stelle immediately told him the whole story.
Keqing's expression instantly became very interesting.
"So there's such a thing... If I think about it carefully, what he was shouting just now seemed to be your name, right?" Keqing said, stroking his chin.
He couldn't hear it very clearly just now, because although the sound could be heard, it was difficult to distinguish what was being said specifically due to the change in tone.
Now that Stelle mentioned it, if he recalled a little, it seemed like he was shouting something like "Miss Stelle, no."
"You really are full of sin," Keqing said, looking at Stelle with some helplessness.
"I, I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize to me, let's think about how to solve Huixin's problem," Keqing sighed slowly.
Of course, if he had to say, Stelle only needed to take down Huixin, but that would be too simple and crude.
He still needed to investigate Huixin's current situation first.
"Let's go get the books first; we agreed to study together today... As for her matter, I'll have someone ask about it later," Keqing shook his head, then said to Stelle.
"Okay!" Stelle, of course, had no objections; whatever Keqing said, it was.
After all, what he did was indeed improper, even if he was somewhat out of control due to the effects of the nutritional meal.
But such a thing cannot be used as an excuse, after all, the matter has already happened and needs to be resolved.
Both of them silently kept this matter in mind and then went up to the second floor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, for Stelle, spending the whole day indoors reading was a bit too boring.
He wouldn't be able to persevere alone no matter what.
Fortunately, his main task wasn't to read books, but to accompany Keqing, serve him tea and water, and incidentally, recharge him.
So, when he returned to Keqing's room with a pile of books, Stelle was still quite looking forward to the next development.
"Oh? Didn't you say you were going to throw it away? Why is it still here?" Stelle placed the books on the table, and his eyes instantly caught a very important item in the room.
That's right, it was precisely the black pantyhose that he wanted but couldn't take yesterday, which he had torn a hole in, and now had strange marks on it.
"I, I couldn't find an opportunity yesterday, and after I went out, I stayed overnight in the Serenitea Pot and didn't come back," Keqing said with a red face.
Because of this, how could he have time to throw it away? He could only leave it in the room for now.
"So just give it to me; I'll help you deal with it," Stelle picked it up and spread it out in front of him.
He could almost smell Keqing's fragrance; this was a very nice souvenir.
"No, no," Keqing shook his head; he still felt very shy.
If he had to say, this was also a very valuable item.
The materials used and the craftsmanship were top-notch in Liyue; it was only because he was a Demoiselle from a prominent family that he could find a tailor to customize it; ordinary people couldn't buy it even if they wanted to.
Of course, no matter how valuable, if Stelle wanted it, he could easily give Stelle a new pair; that was nothing, after all, he could still have many more customized here.
But Stelle obviously only wanted this one; he probably wasn't interested in others, and Keqing hadn't seen Stelle wear stockings... Hmm?
Suddenly thinking of something, Keqing's expression became somewhat hesitant.
He looked at Stelle again, and finally, he spoke with a red face.
"Ahem, Stelle, if you agree to one condition, I'll give it to you."
"What, what? I'll agree to any condition," Stelle said quickly.
He really wanted this item, but don't misunderstand, he wasn't a fetishist; he really just wanted to keep it as a souvenir.
Moreover, he decided that every time in the future, he would take something from a girl as a souvenir.
After all, he was going to travel constantly, and he didn't know when he would be able to meet them again in the future.
Unless they were willing to agree to be placed in the Serenitea Pot and travel with him.
But obviously, most of the girls he was involved with had their own affairs and ideals, and it was impossible for them to easily follow him.
So, leaving something behind was also a memento.
It's just that this item wasn't that proper... But that didn't matter, as long as seeing it could bring back beautiful memories.
"Stelle, if you agree to wear this and show it to me, I'll give it to you," Keqing took out a brand new pair, identical to the one in Stelle's hand, from his wardrobe.
He had always felt that while Stelle's bare legs were nice, wearing them would surely have a different charm.
"Hey, that's a small matter, of course, no problem," Stelle readily agreed.
Although he was very satisfied with his current attire and had no intention of changing it, he had always been satisfied with it.
But to get this item, it was just wearing one more piece of clothing, what did it matter?
However...
"However, I don't want this one; I want to wear the one you have on."
