"Hmm... another law has been amended... that's really not friendly to us legal consultants. Time to memorize it all over again!"
Yanfei muttered to herself in complaint. She read the revised law over and over, afraid she might miss a single word.
As an excellent legal consultant, Yanfei couldn't afford any mistakes. She might mix things up sometimes, but it wasn't a big deal.
She would get familiar with it eventually...
Just as Yanfei was deeply absorbed in memorizing the law, a pair of cute big paws crept up behind her.
Suddenly! The paws reached out and grabbed her chest! The movement was so fast that Yanfei didn't even have time to react.
The moment they grabbed her, she could feel them kneading. What was going on? Had an 'old gentleman' broken into the house?
The sudden attack made Yanfei let out a soft gasp. For a girl, that was a sensitive spot.
Anyone would react to being squeezed like that.
"Who?!"
Yanfei snapped back to reality and turned her head in alarm.
She thought an 'old gentleman' had invaded her room, but when she saw who it was, she let out a silent sigh of relief.
"It's just you, Sister Bonanus. You really scared me."
Yanfei said with a mix of laughter and exasperation. She looked at the two big paws still gently kneading her chest and continued helplessly.
Since they were both girls, she didn't really mind. If it had been a man, she would have slapped him.
That would have been outright harassment.
"I'm glad you're back, Sister, but could you please let go?"
"In your dreams! I just got back. I need to get my fill. I haven't slept well without you as my pillow."
Bonanus breathed in Yanfei's scent. Still the same fragrance. So nice. Yanfei was very clean and never had any unpleasant odors.
With that thought, her paws unconsciously squeezed a little harder.
She had been in Mondstadt for so long without getting to pet Yanfei properly. She had to make up for lost time.
"Don't! Ahhh~ Sister... wait! It feels strange..."
Yanfei struggled weakly, but it was useless. She wasn't as strong as Bonanus, so she couldn't fight back.
Because of this, her focus on studying the new law was completely gone. Who could concentrate on legal studies at a time like this?
Her mind went blank. She could only resign herself to being teased by Bonanus.
...
The joyful moment passed with soft gasps...
Yanfei collapsed limply on the floor, her right hand propping her up, her left hand covering her chest. Her face was red as an apple, and she was breathing heavily.
"Sister, you're so mean..." Yanfei said, blushing. Why did the first thing she do when she came back have to be bullying her?
"Hehe, be good. I brought you some souvenirs from Mondstadt. Tofu and a pink teddy bear."
Bonanus said, thoroughly satisfied. Yanfei was so cute. No matter how much she played with her, she never got tired of it.
She pulled out the tofu and pink teddy bear from her space and placed them on the table. Then she turned and gently ruffled Yanfei's hair.
She brought the tofu because she knew Yanfei loved it.
Yanfei had once said that tofu was available all year round and could be paired with many different broths. It was delicious. She didn't seek perfection, only satisfaction.
As for the pink teddy bear... Bonanus remembered a conversation she had with Yanfei about favorite colors.
Yanfei had said she liked pink because it symbolized softness, gentleness, and a dreamy feel.
While in Mondstadt, Bonanus had thought about buying a pink maid outfit for Yanfei. But then she realized Yanfei would probably never wear it, so she gave up.
"Wow, thank you, Sister!" Yanfei stood up in surprise. She hugged the cute pink teddy bear and rubbed it against her cheek affectionately.
It was so soft! Aside from Granny Ping, no one had ever given her a plush toy as a gift before!
In that moment, Yanfei completely forgot about what had just happened.
"You like it, right? I didn't forget about you while I was in Mondstadt." Bonanus smiled. Seeing Yanfei so happy made her nod with satisfaction.
Since she was happy, that meant Bonanus could be a little more "aggressive" when using her as a pillow tonight! Hehe, plan in motion!
Little did Yanfei know that this sweet treat was just the calm before the night's coming storm.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just as Bonanus was planning how to "take care" of Yanfei tonight, a knocking sound reached their ears.
The knock was accompanied by a familiar deep voice.
"Little sister! I brought your clothes and all the other stuff you bought. There's quite a lot of it."
Bonanus recognized the voice immediately. It was Bosacius. He was fast! She hadn't expected him to bring her things so quickly.
She ran to the door, her face full of anticipation.
When she opened the door, she was greeted by a towering "mountain" of items. Wow, it was so tall! Several times taller than her!
"Thanks for the hard work, Big Brother Bosacius!" Bonanus looked at Bosacius standing beside the pile and smiled.
"Don't mention it. You've got quite a lot of stuff, little sister. I had to ask some Millelith soldiers to help me carry it over." Bosacius rubbed his head.
Even with four arms, he could only carry so much. He needed some extra hands.
"Where are the Millelith soldiers now?" Bonanus looked around, but no one was there.
"They had other duties. They left after dropping everything off." Bosacius shook his head. He had stopped them while they were on patrol.
"We should thank them properly. Do you want to come inside for a bit, Big Brother?" Bonanus grinned.
"No, no. The director of Wangsheng is waiting for me. Since the delivery's done, I'll be going." Bosacius struck a cool pose and walked away.
Watching her big brother leave, Bonanus looked at the mountain of goods and frowned. Oh no! She forgot to ask him to help her carry everything inside!
She had let her tool slip away!
"Sister Bonanus, is all of this... yours?" Yanfei had put the tofu in the fridge and came out to see the mountain of goods. She was stunned.
That was a lot of stuff. She knew Sister Bonanus was a shopping machine, but this was ridiculous.
"Hehe, yep~ Ehe!" Bonanus stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Sister Bonanus! You just got back. Instead of resting, you're dealing with all this. Really, Sister." Yanfei put her hands on her hips and shook her head helplessly.
"Such a cute Yanfei will help her big sister carry all this, right?" Bonanus put on a pitiful expression, batting her big eyes at Yanfei.
Yanfei saw those big, sparkly eyes and let out a deep sigh. What else could she do? Could she really say no?
"Sigh... let's get this done quickly. After we're finished, I still have things to do." Yanfei put her hands on her hips and said flatly. She wondered if her house could even hold all of this.
"Once everything's moved in, I can sleep soundly!"
Bonanus stretched vigorously, already imagining Xiao in that maid outfit tomorrow. A cold, handsome man in a maid outfit—how amusing!
She would make him wear it no matter what. Otherwise, buying it would have been a waste.
She just hoped the cute Alatus wouldn't put up too much resistance. Otherwise, she might get even more excited.
...
Somewhere on a rooftop
Xiao sat quietly, watching the scenery, when he suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, looking confused.
"I'm not sick. Why am I sneezing?"
