After all, this was a first for Keqing.
Skipping the stages of dating, holding hands, hugging, and kissing, and going straight to the finish line... even the most proactive girl would inevitably feel nervous.
But she had to do it. Keqing wouldn't let this carefully orchestrated opportunity slip away!
She had schemed so painstakingly, even wasting a large sum of money to overpay for several nearby hotels, all to create this very situation. Wasn't it all for the chance to lift the trophy right at the end?
Do it! She had to do it for real!
Only in this way could she achieve the most ideal outcome, making Ye Ming properly take responsibility!
Keqing secretly encouraged herself.
But... what should she do next?
Recalling the relevant knowledge she had found online, Keqing's pretty face slowly turned red, and a hazy, watery light filled her purple eyes.
She brushed a few stray strands of hair behind her ear, revealing her slender, snow-white neck, and the alluring blush on her crystalline skin.
The shyness and embarrassment in her heart were driving her crazy, but even so, she forced herself to remain calm. Her hands trembled slightly as she placed them on Ye Ming's body, and then, slowly lowered her head.
ps: Updating at midnight is too tiring. I will gradually adjust the time in the future and try to fix the update time to noon and evening.
Chapter 43: Keqing, will you be my wife?
Emptiness, an unprecedented emptiness.
Her body was limp and weak, her back ached, and even her bones felt as if their marrow had been hollowed out, leaving them weak and fragile. Her mind was blank, and her spirit was more tranquil than ever, like an enlightened monk who had lost all worldly desires.
So much so that when Ye Ming woke up and opened his eyes, his reaction was surprisingly calm. For a moment, he couldn't even muster a sense of surprise.
His eyes were dull, staring blankly at the ceiling with no focus, his mind empty.
He didn't even know when he had woken up.
He only remembered that when he was awakened by waves of strange sensations in his body, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Keqing, lightly biting her lower lip and frowning.
Perhaps because his mind wasn't clear, perhaps because of the alcohol, or perhaps because of his own desires, in any case, after a few minutes, passive turned into active, and Ye Ming instinctively took over the initiative.
Recalling the scene, Ye Ming lay in bed for a while before he could escape from the lofty spiritual realm of an enlightened monk without worldly desires. He raised his head slightly and looked at Keqing, who was sleeping on his chest.
In her sleep, Keqing's face was peaceful, and two tear stains remained on her delicate face. The girl's exquisite and smooth purple hair, which was like fine silk during the day, had become messy, draped over her body and covering half of her face.
His chest felt a little stuffy from the girl's weight. Ye Ming sighed and looked up at the clock on the wall.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Monday had passed by unnoticed.
As if Ye Ming's sigh had awakened Keqing, the sleeping girl stirred, and then, groggily opened her eyes.
Their eyes met.
Keqing looked at Ye Ming blankly, and it took her a while to realize the current situation. She let out a suppressed gasp and subconsciously buried her face in Ye Ming's chest, avoiding his gaze.
Ye Ming was very calm.
"Keqing, you... you're the Keqing from Genshin Impact, right?"
Although it was a question, Ye Ming's tone was certain.
Ye Ming wasn't stupid. What happened during the day couldn't be explained away by mere drunkenness. But when the Keqing on top of him became the Keqing from the game, all the questions he had had were answered.
Keqing kept her head down, seemingly thinking, and didn't answer Ye Ming's question immediately.
Ye Ming raised his hand and placed it on Keqing's smooth back, gently stroking it, and said softly, "If you have something you can't say, you don't have to answer. But, don't lie to me, okay?"
"Yes, and no."
Keqing replied in a muffled voice, feeling apprehensive.
When she made the plan, she had anticipated Ye Ming's reaction and formulated a series of calm and perfect responses. She had filled an entire folder with lines alone, and memorized them all. She was confident that she could handle any extreme situation that might arise, but she never expected Ye Ming to be so calm.
His calmness made her panic.
Keqing was scared.
"I... I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to, no, no, I did mean to, no, I didn't, I, I..."
The more she spoke, the more flustered she became. Keqing spoke incoherently for a while before she slowly regained her normal language ability.
"I, I just like you, I want to, want to stay by your side, I, I..."
"I'm sorry."
In the end, Keqing didn't know what to say, and could only apologize guiltily.
Ye Ming looked at Keqing in silence, thought carefully for a moment, and asked, "Then, would you like to be my wife?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the completely unexpected words, Keqing's brain short-circuited. She stayed stunned for a long time before she raised her head and looked at Ye Ming in surprise.
"Surprised? There's nothing to be surprised about, really."
In the short time since he had woken up, Ye Ming had sorted out his thoughts.
"When we were eating during the day, my palm was shocked, and when I was about to get up to see you out of the bedroom, my knee was shocked again. You did both of those, right?"
"You possess extraordinary powers that don't belong to this world, you have a huge amount of wealth that most people can't even dream of having in their entire lives, you're so beautiful, and you have a great figure, and your moans are also very cute. Such an excellent you is willing to use such means to stay by my side. Whether from an emotional or rational point of view, I can't think of a reason to refuse you."
Ye Ming spoke very frankly: "Of course, it's unrealistic to say that I love you to the point of earth-shattering, life-and-death right now, but if you don't mind, feelings can always be cultivated slowly. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness."
In fact, after saying so much nonsense, the main reason why Ye Ming didn't reject Keqing was the girl's feelings for him.
In Genshin Impact's setting, the girls' feelings are not like the Azur Lane ship girls, who regard the commander as the pillar of their lives, the most important person.
But, settings are just settings. Ye Ming isn't Keqing, and he can't understand what kind of feelings the girl has for him. It's like when Ye Ming asked Keqing, "Are you the Keqing from the game?" and Keqing answered, "Yes and no." Ye Ming doesn't know how heavy the girl's feelings are in the game, and he doesn't want to coldly reject the girl's feelings like an irrelevant outsider.
Okay, wanting a beautiful girl's body is also a very important reason.
"Keqing, are you willing to be my wife?"
Ye Ming gently stroked Keqing's smooth back and asked again.
"Yes, I'm willing!"
Keqing said happily. This was her wish, so how could she not be willing: "As long as I can be with you, I'm willing to do anything!"
"Then, is being one of my wives okay?" Ye Ming said calmly.
"Eh?"
Keqing looked up in surprise.
Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—
On the bedside table, Ye Ming's phone suddenly vibrated. Ye Ming picked up the phone and saw that it was Fu Hua's call.
Ye Ming glanced at Keqing and made a shushing gesture. After seeing Keqing nod, he answered the phone.
"Ye Ming, are you okay? Why haven't you come home so late? Are you working overtime? Why aren't you replying to my messages? I, Laffey, miss you. Where are you now? Who are you with? A colleague?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Fu Hua asked a series of questions, her tone quite anxious.
Ye Ming didn't speak.
He glanced at Keqing. The girl was looking at him pitifully, like a kitten trying to please its owner, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Ye Ming understood Keqing's eyes.
He was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm with my wife, I'll be back in a while."
Chapter 44 Keqing: Want to do it again?
To be honest, Ye Ming didn't know how to treat Fu Hua either.
After all, since Saturday's confession, it had been difficult for Ye Ming to continue treating Fu Hua as an ordinary childhood friend like before.
After receiving the confession, Ye Ming felt that he had clearly expressed his attitude to Fu Hua, but Fu Hua's reaction was very ambiguous—I think, some things don't need to be rushed. The road ahead is still long, and we can slowly do what we want to do.
This answer left Ye Ming completely clueless about Fu Hua's thoughts.
Because he couldn't figure it out, he wasn't sure what to do.
But Ye Ming could figure out Keqing's attitude. The girl had already shown her feelings with her actions.
Therefore, now that they had already had a relationship, Ye Ming, noticing Keqing's expectant eyes, felt that he should give the girl a response.
Since they had already had a relationship and had become husband and wife, why should he hide it?
Ye Ming was never an indecisive person.
"I'm with my wife, I'll be back in a while."
After a brief thought, Ye Ming held the phone and said to Fu Hua on the other end of the phone in a calm and natural tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other side of the phone was as silent as if the line had been cut. After a long time, he heard Fu Hua's voice.
"Wife? What wife? We grew up together, how come I don't know you've had a girlfriend?"
Fu Hua's tone was calm, but her voice was trembling slightly.
