What made Fang Xun truly unable to laugh or cry was that even when Ningguang was asleep, she held him tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch him away.
What happened to the aloof, rich woman? How did she turn into a clingy little dummy?
Fang Xun held Ningguang and looked up at Ganyu, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, the little girl fell asleep. I'll hold her over to the bench to sit for a while. You don't mind, do you?"
As he spoke, Fang Xun deliberately lowered his voice, afraid of waking Ningguang in his arms.
Ganyu understood. After all, children need a lot of sleep; it was normal.
"Mister Fang Xun, it's alright. Let's go over there."
Soon, Ganyu followed Fang Xun and sat on the bench. From a distance, they looked like a young couple out for a stroll with their child, appearing warm and harmonious.
"Miss Ganyu, what did you want to talk to me about?" Fang Xun asked Ganyu, looking up.
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xun felt his shoulder sink, followed by a faint, fresh scent wafting towards him. He subconsciously looked up, only to find that Ganyu had also fallen asleep.
Ganyu had always had a habit of taking naps, and whenever it was nap time, she would fall asleep regardless of the occasion or location. Now, it seemed Ganyu's nap time had arrived.
Looking at Ganyu, curled up and sleeping as quietly as a deer, Fang Xun's gaze fell upon her horns. Fang Xun had always been curious about what it felt like to touch her horns, as they were something only immortal beasts possessed. More importantly, he had heard that when Ganyu was little, she needed to have her horns touched to fall asleep, as if those horns were a special mechanism influencing her. Was it really that magical?
Fang Xun reached out and gently grasped Ganyu's horn. It was a little cool to the touch, not very hard, but rather smooth. It would have been fine if he hadn't touched it, but after he did, Ganyu let out a soft moan and changed her curled-up posture, hugging Fang Xun's arm. For a moment, Fang Xun was at a loss for words. Now, he was holding Ningguang in his left arm and Ganyu was clinging to his right arm, completely freeing up his hands.
Most importantly, why did Ganyu sleep like a child? She kept burrowing into his embrace??
Chapter 18: Adorable Girl Ganyu, Favorability Rapidly Increases
Right now, Fang Xun was holding the child in one hand and being tightly held by Ganyu in the other. To avoid waking the two beauties, he maintained this seated posture without moving the entire time. Holding Ningguang was fine; since the little girl hadn't developed yet, she wasn't heavy and felt light. So, holding her didn't put much pressure on him, and he didn't feel tired. On the other hand, Ganyu was a bit much for Fang Xun to handle. After all, the black slime was too formidable. The move "Mount Tai Pressing Down" put immense pressure on Fang Xun...
Fang Xun couldn't help but let out a wry smile, Was this what they called painful yet joyful?
If he absolutely had to endure this pain, Fang Xun's answer would be to ask for more!
He didn't know how much time had passed when Fang Xun heard footsteps and the clinking of armor.
He looked up and saw a patrol of Millelith walking towards them.
"Lady Ganyu, we discovered something while clearing the scene. We request your..."
The Millelith patrol was in the middle of reporting when, Upon seeing Ganyu sleeping soundly, their voice abruptly stopped.
Ganyu had a habit of taking naps, a fact well-known among the Millelith.
As Liyue's top secretary, Ganyu was always very busy.
So, whenever Ganyu took her midday break, everyone tacitly avoided disturbing her.
Now, the Millelith realized they had intruded and immediately wore apologetic expressions.
Of course, Besides being sorry, they were mostly surprised.
Because all the Millelith knew that Ganyu slept curled up in a ball.
And that hadn't changed for all these years.
But today, Ganyu was sleeping with her head on Fang Xun's shoulder?
And, Ganyu looked very close to Fang Xun.
Even in her sleep, Ganyu was tightly hugging Fang Xun's arm, unwilling to let go.
Seeing this scene, the Millelith felt as if a storm had erupted in their hearts.
Could it be that Lady Ganyu was dating Fang Xun?
In this regard, The Millelith could understand.
After all, as Liyue's top secretary, Ganyu had diligently maintained Liyue's order all these years.
She couldn't be busy with her career forever, so finding a partner was perfectly reasonable.
In fact, the Millelith genuinely felt happy for her and sent their blessings.
Next, the Millelith worried about being a third wheel and disturbing Fang Xun and Ganyu.
So, they thought about quickly finishing their business and leaving.
"Mister Fang Xun, when Lady Ganyu wakes up, please help her pass this damaged letter to her."
"We suspect this letter might be related to the Fatui, but the Millelith cannot decipher its meaning, so we'd like to ask Lady Ganyu for her help in investigating."
"We've said what we needed to say, so we won't disturb you further."
The Millelith handed the letter to Fang Xun and then hurried away.
They truly didn't want to be a third wheel.
As they left, the captain of the Millelith squad turned to his team and said, "What we just saw, no one is to speak of, understand?"
"That's Lady Ganyu's private matter, we can't spread it around."
The members of the squad nodded vigorously, solemnly promising, "Don't worry, boss, you know our characters, right? We're always tight-lipped!"
"Exactly, boss, what do you take us for? How could we possibly gossip about this?"
Not long after, Gossip had already spread throughout Liyue.
"Did you hear? Lady Ganyu seems to be in love? The Millelith happened to see her partner today. I heard he's an outsider, a handsome young man?"
"What? How are you so out of the loop? I heard Lady Ganyu has been secretly married for years, and her child is old enough to fetch soy sauce!"
Meanwhile, Fang Xun, Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to look at the letter the Millelith had found to pass the time.
The letter was already tattered from fire, and most of the writing was blurred or missing.
