章 34: Chapter 34
Regarding the matter of Nathan, Keqing ultimately agreed with Ganyu's perspective.
Following the majority decision, Nathan was designated to wait at the Yuehai Pavilion.
This outcome could be considered acceptable to everyone except Ningguang.
Keqing assumed that Ganyu, with her aloof personality, would not interact extensively with ordinary people.
Nathan felt that in reality, he had not yet had any interaction with the girl.
Therefore, he planned to find an excuse to slip away once they arrived at the Yuehai Pavilion.
Only Ningguang could see through Ganyu's true intentions.
Her current disguise was merely a ploy to get closer to Nathan.
To be frank, Ningguang had watched Keqing grow step by step into the Yuheng Star, observing her naivety and growth.
In Ningguang's eyes, Keqing was hardly a formidable opponent requiring much effort.
However, Ganyu was different—a woman who had truly been in conflict with her for a month.
Regarding Nathan's intense emotions, she was not inferior to Ningguang herself.
Therefore, in Ningguang's mind, Ganyu was the true opponent she needed to confront.
"Absolutely... absolutely cannot let them be alone!!!"
As if facing a great enemy, Ningguang had already made a secret decision in her heart while leaving the Jade Chamber!
...
Descending from the Jade Chamber high in the sky, they quickly entered the main hall of the Yujing Terrace.
The four of them entered in a peculiar manner, split into two groups: Nathan leading the way, while the three women walked side by side behind him.
Although he did not turn back, he could subtly sense the tense atmosphere behind him.
Each person wanted to walk alongside Nathan but was simultaneously hindered by the other two.
This delicate balance of power continued until they reached the Liyue Qixing's office, where the tension slightly eased.
"Alright, the tasks that both of you need to handle today have been placed here," Ganyu approached and spoke to Keqing and Ningguang.
"Ganyu... you can't be serious?" Keqing stared at the mountain of documents on her desk, seemingly petrified.
As the Yuheng Star, she was typically diligent and responsible, usually working until late at night to complete all tasks.
However, under her usual high-efficiency work mode, such document accumulation seemed unusual.
"I'm not joking. These are the tasks the Yuheng Star must process today!"
Ganyu's expression remained unchanged in response to Keqing's challenge.
"Tsk tsk... This is clearly deliberate," N
ingguang clicked her tongue, believing this was Ganyu's behind-the-scenes manipulation.
As the Secretary-General of the Yuehai Pavilion, managing all interactions with the Qixing, it was easy for her to subtly arrange such things.
"These are all the tasks. I will first take this gentleman to the Yuehai Pavilion to prevent him from disturbing the work of the two Liyue Qixing!" Ganyu intentionally ignored Ningguang's questioning, knowing that her actions, while potentially manipulative, were within her professional scope.
Ningguang did not expose her tactics.
Instead, she quickly approached Nathan, leaning close to whisper near his ear, "Nathan... be very careful of that woman!!!"
"Ningguang... what are you up to?" Keqing, observing this intimate moment, naturally could not allow them to continue.
"Go ahead. I'll come to pick you up later," Ningguang laughed softly, patting Nathan's shoulder before stepping back to her desk.
Everything happened so quickly that Nathan was left bewildered.
Why did Ningguang warn him? Who was the woman she referred to? Could it possibly be Ganyu—the girl with whom he had no prior interaction in reality?
Compared to the warning, Nathan felt that Ningguang herself was the most dangerous woman.
After all, they were nearly intimate in the Jade Chamber moments ago.
If they had truly become fully exposed to each other, what might have happened?
It could be Ningguang's calculation or perhaps a genuine moment—who could tell?
...
Keqing and Ningguang, the two Liyue Qixing, each entered their work mode.
Both harbored the same thought: to complete their tasks quickly and retrieve Nathan.
To avoid disturbing the working pair, Nathan followed Ganyu's steps, leaving the Yujing Terrace office.
"Tap-tap-tap!"
Ganyu's legs, wrapped in black stockings, stepped rhythmically, her heels striking the ground.
These sounds made Nathan's heart race.
Although the conflict between the women had subsided, he could not relax.
An unsettling premonition continuously emanated from the beautiful figure ahead.
Nathan swallowed, choosing to lower his head and avoid looking at Ganyu's stunning form, thus alleviating his tension.
"Here we are... the Yuehai Pavilion's office is right here," Ganyu said, stopping at a room deep within a long corridor.
"Ganyu... I suddenly remembered an urgent matter. Please allow me to take my leave," Nathan faced the closed door, his premonition growing stronger.
It felt as if crossing this threshold would completely consume him.
Trusting his instinct, he prepared to use his pre-planned excuse.
"No..."
Before Nathan could move, his wrist was grasped by the girl's soft hand.
He had touched the hands of Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu before, but each woman's touch was unique.
Ganyu's felt like pristine snow falling in a snowy country—cool and smooth.
"Miss Ganyu?"
The chilling touch paradoxically did not make him feel cold.
Instead, it seemed to suppress an intense emotion about to erupt.
"Call me by my name!!!"
Her grip tightened on his wrist.
"Hm?"
"No honorifics!!!"
This dialogue felt eerily familiar to Nathan, like a repetition of a scene from a previous encounter.
"Gan... Ganyu?"
