Chapter 329 - Chapter 329: Pay for the Mistakes of the Past

"It feels unexpectedly comfortable," Stelle slowly pulled the still warm black silk item up to his waist.

He even deliberately felt Keqing's body temperature, then said this to the blushing Keqing in front of him.

Stelle also didn't expect it to be so easy; in fact, he just wanted to play a joke on Keqing, but who would have thought that Keqing would hesitate for a moment and then directly agree, quickly sending the item to Stelle.

Since that was the case, Stelle had no choice but to take it and wear it himself.

Anyway, the item had good elasticity, so even if his and Keqing's body types were somewhat different, it wouldn't be ill-fitting.

Stelle slowly stood up; this feeling of being close to his skin brought him a different sensation.

No wonder so many people he met liked to wear it this way; even the secretaries of the entire Yuehai Pavilion were particularly fond of it, almost making it a standard uniform.

Like Huixin before, she didn't actually wear a skirt, but a long gown similar to a cheongsam, but she would still choose to wear one underneath.

"You, if you like it, I can give you a few pairs," Keqing's small hands rested on his smooth legs, clenching slightly into fists.

He stared at Stelle, and although he was shy, he had to admit that Stelle's allure in front of him was even stronger.

Although his rationality told him not to be affected, he still had to read and study later and couldn't indulge in the beauty in front of him.

But, but he really couldn't help it.

"Forget it, I feel like something unexpected might happen if I do this," Stelle turned his head to look at the full-length mirror in Keqing's room.

His expression suddenly became unnatural; his reflection in the mirror was simply too...

Stelle quickly looked away.

If he went out on the street looking like this, he was afraid that all the girls on the entire street would be seduced by him.

Sure enough, the saying that sometimes wearing less is sexier than wearing nothing is true.

"Hmm, you're right," Keqing nodded in deep agreement. Stelle's current appearance was simply too tempting.

She was even a little afraid to let the current Stelle go out.

"Alright, Keqing, you have to keep your promise, I… Ugh!?" Before Stelle could finish speaking, Keqing instantly covered her mouth, preventing her from making any sound.

Clearly, Keqing ultimately couldn't hold back.

It was just a pity that Keqing was still too weak; this action was no different from giving herself away for free.

When Keqing sobered up a bit later, it would be too late for regret.

The study plan seemed to be forcibly postponed…

Stelle felt helpless. This was a request Keqing herself had made, and it ended up like this.

If she couldn't successfully complete today's study plan later, she wouldn't be responsible.

While thinking, Stelle slowly embraced Keqing and rolled over.

The two of them lay together on the bed.

"Stelle…" Keqing's throat was dry. Looking at Stelle, who was so close, she felt her heart rate quicken considerably.

"Don't regret it later, okay?" Stelle kissed her again, not giving Keqing a chance to speak.

Although she had just said that she had already eaten a Maid's breakfast this morning and was now in sage mode…

In reality, if meat is brought to one's mouth, even if not hungry, it's still very easy to be tempted into having an appetite.

There's no helping it; it's human instinct, and Stelle is no exception.

"Oh, I see." The female secretary nodded, concluding her investigation.

"Um, may I ask why Yuheng Lord is investigating Huixin? Is she…"

"Ah, no need to worry. Yuheng Lord just happened to meet her and saw that her mental state seemed a bit off. She wanted to show some concern, not really an investigation," the person quickly said.

"Is that so… Indeed, Huixin's situation has been a bit strange these past two days. As her roommate, I'm also very worried, but I haven't found anything amiss."

"It's alright. Yuheng Lord will likely find a time to talk to her later. As long as there can be communication, I believe her problem will soon be resolved." The female secretary finished speaking, then picked up her pen and notebook and left the dormitory.

Yuheng Lord had asked her to investigate Huixin's matter, and she didn't expect to gain so much so easily.

But then again, since they all live together, it's hard for there to be any big secrets.

Thinking this, the female secretary quickly arrived at Keqing's room door.

She reached out and knocked on the door, but strangely, there was no response from inside the room.

This made her feel a little strange, because Keqing had already told her when he looked for her today that he would be studying ancient texts in his room and wouldn't go anywhere else all day.

How could there be no one in the room?

She reached out again, intending to knock once more. This time, a sound finally came from inside.

"Ah… who, who is it?" Keqing's voice was very soft, the beginning was unclear, and it was intermittent, making her quite puzzled.

"It's me, Yuheng Lord. The matter you asked me to investigate has a result."

"Oh—you, you just stand there and speak. Leave after you're done."

"Huh?"

Keqing's words were a bit strange, leaving her utterly bewildered.

Although it was indeed a small matter, she should at least go inside and report in person, right? Was it inconvenient now?

However, since her superior had said so, she obediently stood at the door and reported the results she had investigated from Huixin's roommate to Keqing.

After she finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence.

"Um… Yuheng Lord?"

"Ah! You, oh, I know. You go first."

"Yes!" The female secretary left with doubts in her heart. She couldn't possibly imagine what kind of posture Keqing in the room had been in while listening to her report.

"It seems it's just as I thought." Stelle slowly raised her head and swallowed the liquid in her mouth.

Keqing, however, was panting heavily and couldn't respond to her at all.

His upper body was sprawled on the desk, holding the ancient text he had just picked up, his eyes hazy.

It was obvious that he hadn't taken in a single word.

Stelle slowly stood up, and Keqing, losing her support, slumped onto the chair with weak legs.

"Ugh… To, tonight, you go and take care of it," Keqing said, sounding a bit tired.

According to the report just now, Huixin should also go to that place tonight after her roommate falls asleep.

Huixin's frequency of leaving the room has been increasing, and even her roommate has noticed her abnormality, but out of consideration for Huixin's dignity, she hasn't asked directly.

Keqing also felt that this matter couldn't be delayed, otherwise, there's no telling what it might turn into.

"Mm, I understand." Stelle nodded, sighing softly.

No choice, it's also to pay for the mistakes made back then.
