"Hey? Wait, why are you pulling my man?"

When Gan Yu snapped out of her excitement and realized that Okita Souji had actually touched her man right in front of her, she was furious.

She clung tightly to Ye Ming's arm, glaring angrily at Okita Souji.

Okita Souji remained unmoved, simply glancing calmly at Gan Yu before explaining, "We made an agreement a long time ago. Starting today, he will come to my dojo every day to train in swordsmanship, hone his will, and improve his physical fitness."

I can teach it too!

Gan Yu, unconvinced, wanted to refute.

Compared to mere swordsmanship, archery is far superior.

The practice of drawing a bow not only exercises the muscles throughout the body, comprehensively improving physical fitness, but also provides a distance advantage in combat, eliminating the need for close-quarters combat like a swordsman would risk great danger.

However, Gan Yu ultimately didn't say these words aloud. She felt that such persistent nagging would only make her seem like a petty, short-tempered woman with no emotional intelligence or common sense—completely inconsistent with her image as a gentle, kind, intelligent, considerate, and sentimental person.

Therefore, upon hearing Okita Souji's words, Gan Yu looked up at Ye Ming, waiting for Ye Ming's explanation.

Okita Souji also remained silent, quietly watching Ye Ming and waiting for him to speak.

Ye Ming, who had finally gotten a chance to speak, breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

In such a short time, Gan Yu and Okita Souji, these two women, made a duel agreement, one sentence after another, giving him no time to react.

Now that he finally had a chance to speak, his first thought was to remind Gan Yu to ask Ke Qing's opinion in advance and respect Ke Qing's ideas.

But then she thought about it again. Gan Yu and Ke Qing were, after all, companions who had worked together in Liyue Harbor since the Teyvat era, and after coming to this world, they had become close sisters.

Given their deep sisterly bond and Gan Yu's understanding of Ke Qing, Gan Yu must have already guessed that Ke Qing would agree to make such a promise.

With that thought in mind, Ye Ming didn't dwell on the duel and instead explained, "What Miss Okita said is true, but physical training can't be accomplished overnight. We can adjust the plan gradually later. What I really want is to ask Miss Okita for some very important information."

Important intelligence?

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu paused slightly, turned to look at Okita Souji, and hesitated before asking, "Could it be that you, Miss Okita, are also..."

Halfway through her sentence, Gan Yu's cell phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and saw that it was Ke Qing calling.

Why is Keqing calling me at this time? Does she already know from Hu Tao that I was the one who drugged you last night? Or does she not only know that I drugged you, but also guess that I ate the food secretly?

Thinking about this, Gan Yu felt guilty but also a little excited.

She answered the phone and put it to her ear.

Then, a clear female voice, filled with pain yet unwavering strength, came through the phone.

"I will never give in!"

"Gulp... Kill me already!"

That's Ke Qing's voice.

Gan Yu was stunned.

"I will never give in!"

"Gulp... Kill me already."

Ke Qing's voice was so full of grief and indignation that Ye Ming, who was standing next to Gan Yu, also heard it and couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Gan Yu.

On the other end of the line, Okita Souji's eyes flickered as he looked at Gan Yu, clearly having also heard the voice on the other end of the phone.

Gan Yu also looked confused.

That shouldn't be the case.

Logically speaking, Keqing should be locked in a fierce battle with Kurumi right now.

Gan Yu was well aware of her companions' strength.

Based on her performance in the game, Kurumi is definitely much stronger than Keqing. But reality is not a game, and strength cannot be judged according to the game's performance. Gan Yu thinks that although there is a gap in strength between Keqing and Kurumi, it is not as big as it is in the game.

Moreover, Hu Tao knew that Gan Yu was the one who drugged her last night, while Ke Qing believed that Hu Tao was the one who drugged her.

In Hu Tao's eyes, Ke Qing was a victim just like her, so she shouldn't have any defenses against Ke Qing. Therefore, Ke Qing had the advantage from the start.

If Keqing launches a sneak attack, she will definitely gain a significant advantage and take down Kurumi in one fell swoop.

But now, judging from the voice on the other end of the phone, it sounds like Keqing has been captured instead.

Gan Yu was filled with doubt.

However, she wasn't worried about Ke Qing's safety.

Since Enterprise and Laffey are in the next bedroom, even if there are enemies, Keqing is unlikely to be in danger with their help.

"Keqing, what's wrong? What happened? Are you alright?"

Gan Yu pressed for more information.

"Gan Yu, I, uh~ let me go, I..."

As soon as Ke Qing opened her mouth, someone covered it, and her voice turned into a muffled sob.

Immediately afterward, Hu Tao's angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Gan Yu, tell her right now, who was the one who drugged her last night?!"

Well, it seems that Keqing not only failed to defeat Kurumi in one fell swoop, but was instead subdued by Kurumi.

"Last night? Drugged? What kind of drug?"

Hearing Hu Tao's voice from the side, Ye Ming looked on with a puzzled expression.

"Eh? Well, I'll explain it to you when I have time later."

Gan Yu was taken aback when Hu Tao revealed the drugging incident in front of Ye Ming. She panicked and mumbled an explanation to Ye Ming, then covered her phone slightly and whispered, "Hu Tao, why are you asking this? Don't you already know who drugged me? Why are you asking me?"

Despite feeling guilty, Hu Tao forced herself to remain calm and asked in a seemingly doubtful tone.

Upon hearing Gan Yu's words, Ke Qing on the other end of the phone immediately became agitated: "Hu Tao, did you hear that? Gan Yu has already said so, and you still want to distort the truth?! Who drugged her? The person who drugged her knows it in their heart."

"Shut up!"

Hu Tao straddled Ke Qing, one hand covering Ke Qing's mouth, the other holding a phone to her ear, and angrily said, "Gan Yu, don't think you can fool me with these ambiguous words! Your tricks won't work on me. Just tell me directly, who drugged me last night! Just say that person's name, say it!"

"Eh?"

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, Gan Yu's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously glanced at Ye Ming's expression and found that Ye Ming was listening intently to her conversation with Hu Tao and Ke Qing, looking very curious.

Gan Yu was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Originally, although she readily agreed when Keqing mistook Hu Tao for the person who drugged her, she didn't intend to keep it a secret from Keqing forever. Her original plan was to see Keqing and Hu Tao fight each other as punishment for sneaking away, so that she could vent her anger.

She took the opportunity to get closer to Ye Ming. After today, she would confess to Ke Qing. She believed that Ke Qing and Hu Tao wouldn't be too angry. After all, they were the ones who ran away first. Gan Yu was just defending herself. Given their relationship, this was a small matter.

Of course, Gan Yu decided to be honest for two reasons. First, it was impossible to keep such a thing a secret forever. Second, she didn't want to keep lying to her best friend. A lie for a moment could be considered a bad habit, but a lie forever is true deception.

But now, Gan Yu is in a dilemma.

If this were a private setting, she would definitely have sincerely apologized to Ke Qing, but now, in front of Ye Ming, she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

Gan Yu felt that admitting to being the one who drugged Ye Ming on their very first meeting could not only leave a bad first impression on him, but also make him suspicious of what had just happened.

Moreover, with an outsider like Okita Souji present, Gan Yu hesitated for a long time before failing to utter an apology, let alone nod in agreement.

"Hu Tao, release Ke Qing first. We can discuss any issues face-to-face when we meet."

In the end, that was all Gan Yu could say.

Of course, Hu Tao couldn't agree to that. Whether in Teyvat or in this world, she was always the one making fun of others. How could she possibly take the blame for Gan Yu? She didn't want to endure this terrible experience for another second.

"You speak first. Tell me the name of the person who drugged her last night and I'll let her go!"

Hu Tao's tone was resolute.

"This……"

Gan Yu glanced at Ye Ming secretly, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind.

Holding her phone, her expression shifted for a moment before she finally smiled calmly and said gently, "Alright, Hu Tao, I was the one who drugged her last night. Now you should be satisfied, right? Quickly, release Ke Qing. We're all good friends, there's no need to argue over such a small matter. Don't make things difficult for her anymore."

"Haha, Keqing, did you hear that? She's already confessed. Now you know who drugged me last night, right? I've said it before, I'm a victim just like you. We should unite against our common enemy."

With her grievances cleared, Hu Tao laughed happily. She released Ke Qing's mouth and said cheerfully, "Ke Qing, come on, say whatever you want to say. If we join forces, I doubt Gan Yu will dare to object."

Criticizing Gan Yu?

Ke Qing almost laughed when she heard what Hu Tao said.

Now that things have come to this, how could she possibly scold her best friend?

The gentle and kind Gan Yu was willing to take the blame for Hu Tao in order to help her escape Hu Tao's clutches. This gentle act reminded Ke Qing of the scene last night when Gan Yu gently forgave her for cheating during the gathering, and of Gan Yu's great sacrifice of sacrificing time alone with Ye Ming for the sake of their sisterly bond.

How could Ke Qing not be moved by Gan Yu's gentle and kind nature?

She even felt that Gan Yu was a bit like a business owner, naturally possessing the temperament and refinement of a first wife.

Recalling her past behavior, Keqing felt both moved and ashamed.

"Thank you, Gan Yu. I understand, I understand everything."

Ke Qing said sincerely, "Thank you for the sacrifices you made for me, thank you for the concessions you made for me. I swear, I will cherish this sincere feeling and will never betray you again!"

As she said this, Ke Qing took advantage of the moment when Hu Tao was stunned and hung up the phone.

"Don't even think about using me to threaten Gan Yu! Come on, Hu Tao, I, Ke Qing, will never yield to you!"

"Eh?"

Hu Tao was stunned by Ke Qing's reaction, but in just a moment, the clever Hu Tao understood the trick in Gan Yu's words and was immediately furious.

"You idiot, didn't you realize Gan Yu was using rhetoric? She's lying to you!"

"Lie to me? Humph!"

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Ke Qing sneered and looked at the counter, pulling open a drawer halfway: "How do you explain the medicine in the drawer!?"

"Hey? You—"

Hu Tao glanced at the medicine in the drawer, and for a moment, she was speechless, choked by Ke Qing's words.

That medicine was indeed hers.
