Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Ji Ming tried to think, then reached out and pulled the blanket over Xiang Ling's exposed shoulder.

Xiangling groggily opened her eyes again, grinned, and came over to hug Ji Ming through her red undergarment, her voice sweet and affectionate: "Ah Ming is so good."

Girl, if you keep hugging him, little Jiming will become naughty.

Ji Ming's body stiffened, and his gaze involuntarily drifted downwards a few inches. The red bellyband did have some effect, and he ultimately saw nothing.

To prevent Xiao Jiming from standing at attention, Jiming had no choice but to hold Xiangling's shoulders and gently shake her: "Xiangling, it's time for you to get up."

"Don't get up, I want Ah Ming to carry me."

What could Ji Ming do? Since the young cook had made the request, he had no choice but to comply.

He hugged Xiangling tightly. There were only a few simple cloth ropes on her back. Ji Ming didn't touch her randomly. Her palms felt soft when he placed them on her back.

The commotion brought Xiangling back to her senses. The little cook blinked, then her whole body stiffened instantly. She buried her head in Ji Ming's chest and didn't dare to lift it up, her cheeks flushed.

Ji Ming found it somewhat amusing: "Awake?"

Xiangling tried to salvage the situation: "He's not awake."

"Saying this means he's already awake."

“If he’s not awake, he’s not awake. Ah Ming, don’t talk nonsense.”

With a little cook nestled in his arms, and wearing a red bellyband at that, Ji Ming restrained himself and urged, "No matter what, Xiangling, get up first."

Xiangling clung even tighter, looking aggrieved, and asked, "Does A-Ming not like it?"

Ji Ming nearly lost his temper: "That's why I let you get up first, because I like you so much."

"Oh……"

After moving a little further away from Ji Ming, Xiangling wrapped herself in the blanket and asked with a flushed face, "Ah Ming, did you bring your machete with you?"

That's strong proof that I like you.

"Amin, that's disgusting!"

Without a doubt, Xiangling was not a naive little girl. She knew what Ji Ming was talking about and guessed that she had secretly read some strange books when she was alone.

Seeing that Xiangling had wrapped herself up in his clothes, Ji Ming wasn't in a hurry to get up. He just lay there half-reclined and asked, "Xiangling, when did you sneak up here?"

"What time?"

"Don't play dumb, I remember sleeping alone last night."

Seeing that Ji Ming was determined to ask, Xiangling bit her lip and said angrily, "It's one in the morning, what's wrong with childhood sweethearts sleeping together?"

This child's thinking is somewhat dangerous.

"Xiangling, it's true that childhood sweethearts have a great relationship, but we also need to be mindful of the differences between boys and girls. Sleeping together when we were little was fine, but we're all grown up now."

"Do feelings change as you grow up?"

"of course not."

Xiangling looked innocent: "That's it then. I just wanted to sleep with A-Ming. It's A-Ming who likes to overthink things and has some kind of unhealthy reaction just because of a hug."

Ji Ming glared with dead fish eyes, then leaned over and crawled into the quilt, hugging Xiang Ling again.

Clearly, Xiangling was completely unprepared for Ji Ming's sudden attack and could only shout in a panic, "What are you doing? Are you trying to be a pervert?"

"What's wrong? I just wanted a hug from Qingmei. How is that being a pervert? It's clearly Xiangling who likes to overthink things. She has some kind of unhealthy reaction just because of a hug."

The formula-based approach is fast.

Xiangling protested, "Amin was touching me inappropriately; this isn't a normal hug at all."

Ji Ming increased his strength to prevent the young cook from struggling: "I didn't touch you, I just put my hand on your back."

"It's not the back, it's clearly the cloth rope on the back."

"Whatever you say, I just want a hug."

"I'll hug you if you want, I'm not afraid of Ah Ming hugging me, but could Ah Ming please stop having those weird reactions so easily?"

Sorry, it seems that won't work.

Wait, the little cook doesn't seem to be struggling!

Ji Ming looked down and saw that his pajamas had been pulled open halfway, and the little cook's small hand was secretly touching his abs, giggling as she did so, while saying "No, no."

Ji Ming: "…………"

Something's getting increasingly off about his childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 140 Provoking the Older Sister Provokes the Younger Sister

At the dining table, Wendy held a fragrant meat bun, seemingly unmoved by the delicious food in his hand, but quite interested in the childhood sweethearts beside him.

The girl blushed and avoided eye contact.

The boy gave an awkward smile and remained silent.

Just now in the kitchen, the two worked together quite well, after all, they were childhood sweethearts, but surprisingly, they didn't talk to each other, and didn't even exchange glances.

Even at the dinner table, the childhood sweethearts didn't talk to each other. They usually chatted as if no one else was around, and occasionally they would exude a sweet and cloying atmosphere.

Hey, something must have happened between these two. Could it be something that everyone would love to see?

Ah Ming and Miss Xiang Ling are both young and beautiful. Barbara didn't stay here last night either. The two have been close since childhood, and they may have already confessed their feelings to each other last night.

Oh my, I really want to know the answer!

Wendy's eyes gleamed with gossip and mischief. Although he was a die-hard Barbara fan, that didn't stop him from gossiping about his childhood sweetheart.

Seeing that Wendy wanted to ask all sorts of questions, Ji Ming quickly grabbed a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth to prevent him from asking any questions that would make the little cook extremely embarrassed.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!"

"Eat your meat bun."

Looking at Wendy, who had turned into a groggy alien, Ji Ming rolled his eyes at him without any mercy, then pretended not to care and quietly handed Xiangling a meat bun.

The young cook understood immediately and took the meat bun that Ji Ming handed her without saying a word.

Wendy's eyes narrowed, and she slammed her hand on the table, demanding, "You two are definitely up to something! Tell me everything that happened right now, I need to get to the juicy gossip!"

It didn't seem like a fight at all; rather, it was like the newlyweds were awkwardly yet sweetly sitting together having breakfast after the truth was revealed.

Upon hearing Wendy's words, Xiangling blushed instantly, took a bite of her meat bun, and remained silent.

Ji Ming elbowed Wendy, forcefully suppressing Fengshen's gossipy behavior, and said fiercely, "This is my family's private matter, don't pry."

Have they already considered Miss Xiangling as family? Damn it, when will Barbara finally stand up for herself?

Having just been suppressed, Wendy didn't dare to cause trouble for the time being. She scratched her head and laughed, "Actually, I didn't come here to freeload breakfast. I have something very important to tell Armin."

Ji Ming and Xiang Ling exchanged a glance. This was the first time they had looked at each other since they woke up that day. As childhood sweethearts with a close relationship, they could understand each other's intentions with just a look.

Xiangling nodded silently, made up an excuse and went back to her room, leaving only Wendy and Ji Ming in the small dining room.

Wendy winked and said, "Armin, aren't you going to talk to me?"

Ji Ming looked disgusted: "What are we talking about? Didn't you say we had something important to discuss? Let's talk about something important."

"The matter between you and Miss Xiangling is also a serious matter. Although Amin did not give his first time to Barbara, I am really gratified to see you grow up overnight."

"Wendy, I am still innocent."

Clearly, Wendy didn't believe Ji Ming's explanation. He looked towards Xiang Ling's room and questioned, "Really? Then why were you two behaving so strangely this morning?"

Ji Ming shrugged: "The reserve of young boys and girls? In short, Xiangling and I are still just childhood sweethearts."

"Sigh, Amin really doesn't know how to seize opportunities."

Wendy certainly wouldn't believe that nothing had happened, but Ji Ming wouldn't joke about something like this, so he guessed that nothing had really been revealed.

What a silly boy! Even the Wind God can't fathom a girl's mind. If Ah Ming continues to let the girls around him test him, he'll eventually be devoured and left with nothing.

Wendy sighed and changed the subject, saying, "Dvalin is back. This morning we successfully completed the operation, and Mondstadt is completely safe."

Ji Ming nodded: "I see. Do Jean and Diluc know about your identity as the Wind God?"

“I know, and so do the Traveler and Paimon, they all know,” Wendy smiled. “Just a reminder, Jean seems a little angry because you weren’t involved in the operation.”

Ji Ming's eyes widened: "Didn't you tell me not to go? You promised to give me a reason, so why is Qin still angry?"

Wendy blinked. "I did make up an excuse."

"Tell me your reason, and I'll see why the zither is acting so angry."

Wendy smiled and pointed her finger: "I'm saying you're hiding in your room having romantic conversations with your childhood sweetheart."

Ji Ming: "?"

That's alright... No, this is a big deal. Qin is a workaholic and also has a bit of a sister complex. It's no wonder she's angry when she hears that he's not only slacking off at home but also having a romantic relationship with a woman other than his sister.

"Wendy, you've really put me in a lot of trouble."

Ji Ming was feeling a little desperate, wondering if it was too late to pack up and leave.

Wendy grinned: "Don't worry, I have even more juicy news to share. Do you want to hear it?"

Ji Ming remained expressionless: "What?"
