My mobile game wife came knocking.

Seeing Hu Tao remain silent, Ke Qing became even more certain of her guess, but at the same time, she also felt a little regretful.

We were too careless.

Keqing recalled the scene from that morning.

In the morning, after she and Gan Yu arrived together, they found Ye Ming taking a shower. Ke Qing, who had originally intended to create an opportunity for Gan Yu to be alone with Ye Ming and to make up for her previous mistakes, quickly made an excuse to leave after Qi Ji Lafite left and went into the bedroom, leaving Gan Yu alone outside the bathroom to wait for Ye Ming to come out.

But as soon as Gan Yu entered the bedroom, she was stunned.

The bedroom was a mess. The sky-blue sheets that Ye Ming had carefully chosen with her to welcome her were also in disarray, with most of them slipped to the floor. On the bed, the girl named Hu Tao was fast asleep with her hair disheveled. There were still some blushes and faint tear stains on her pretty face.

Ke Qing, with her excellent eyesight, even noticed a few faint hickeys on Hu Tao's neck.

Ke Qing, having been through similar experiences, immediately understood the situation.

That bastard Hu Tao, after drugging me last night, really took the opportunity to sneak over and eat some.

It's one thing to cheat on her, but to do it on her bed, making a mess of her sheets, and then brazenly sleeping on her bed without a shred of remorse.

That's way too arrogant!

You know, even when the company slept with her man in her bed, the bedroom was always very tidy, and her sheets and blankets were never made like this!

In this situation, how could Ke Qing bear it?

After waiting for Gan Yu and Ye Ming to leave, she decisively pounced on them and launched a surprise attack while Hu Tao was fast asleep. She used the bed sheet as a rope and tied it around Hu Tao's body.

Hu Tao, fast asleep, was completely unprepared for Ke Qing's sudden attack. When Ke Qing pressed down on her, the exhausted Hu Tao finally woke up. She instinctively tried to resist with all her might, but her body was sore and weak that she couldn't muster any strength for a moment. In a battle between experts, victory or defeat is only a hair's breadth away. This brief numbness left Hu Tao powerless and she was tied up by Ke Qing.

Of course, Ke Qing wasn't good at tying people up. She just roughly tied Hu Tao's hands and feet with a bed sheet. No matter how tightly she tied them, with Hu Tao's strength, she could easily break free once she recovered.

However, besides the rope, Keqing also pressed herself firmly against Kurumi, so Kurumi would have no ability to resist.

Everything was going smoothly up to this point, and according to common sense, Keqing should have organized Kurumi's trial next. However, unfortunately, an unexpected incident occurred at the last step.

As Ke Qing sat on Hu Tao, suppressing the struggling Hu Tao, she turned her back to the bedside table and failed to notice that Hu Tao, in her struggle, opened the bedside table with her foot. Then, as Hu Tao struggled, some kind of odorless white powder was sprinkled onto Ke Qing's head by Hu Tao.

The moment Ke Qing sensed the foreign object on her head, she knew something was wrong. She quickly held her breath, but it was too late. She inhaled a few powder particles while breathing.

A heavy drowsiness washed over her, just like last night. Ke Qing yawned, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon. This time, she was the one whose hands and feet were tied up with the bed sheet, while Hu Tao switched places with her, sitting on top of her and pressing down on her.

"Ke Qing, the person who drugged me last night really was Gan Yu!"

Hu Tao tried her best to explain, looking helpless.

"Heh, what about the medicine in the bedside table?"

Ke Qing sneered.

"..."

Walnut remained silent.

The medicine in the bedside table was indeed hers.

No, to be precise, she got it from Qiqi. Qiqi is a herb-gathering girl from the medicine hut "Bubu Lu," who has outstanding medicine-making skills, and her abilities are mainly focused on saving lives.

However, once a person reaches the level of 77 in pharmaceutical craftsmanship, even without professional training, concocting high-grade sedatives that are colorless and odorless and can naturally induce drowsiness in those consuming Chinese medicine, as well as certain drugs that stimulate desire, can be said to be a piece of cake.

Hu Tao, who thought she got along very well with Qi Qi and often sought out Qi Qi to play, accidentally stumbled upon Qi Qi's scene of concocting medicine. On the condition that she would keep it a secret from Qi Qi, she took a small portion of each of the two medicines from Qi Qi.

Originally, she took the medicine out of curiosity and didn't intend to do anything bad.

During her time on the Teyvat continent, no matter how she tried to find opportunities or excuses to be with Ye Ming and express her feelings, Ye Ming would always keep his distance. After observing for a while, Hu Tao discovered that not only she, but also Gan Yuningguang and the others received the same treatment.

So she instigated Qiqi to inquire about Ye Ming's feelings under the pretense of being instructed by Gan Yu. In the end, she hid behind a rock and heard Ye Ming's story: the more deeply a traveler invests in a world, the more painful the separation will be. It is better to keep a distance to avoid hurting others and oneself.

Having discovered the reason, Hu Tao finally gave up the idea of ​​trying to move Ye Ming with her emotions. In her confusion, Hu Tao couldn't help but think of the medicine that she had forgotten about—to use the medicine to create a fait accompli.

Unfortunately, before a suitable opportunity could be found, Ye Ming suddenly disappeared.

With Ye Ming gone, these two medicines naturally became useless, so Hu Tao had no choice but to save them and wait for the next opportunity.

This is also why she noticed something was wrong last night, because the medicine Gan Yu was using was the same as the medicine she had in her hand.

But how can I explain this to Keqing?

Walnut is feeling very uncomfortable.

"That's how it is, Keqing, you have to believe me."

In the end, Hu Tao told Ke Qing the details.

"You mean, last night, Gan Yu used drugs she got from Qi Qi to drug both of us, planning to take advantage of the situation to ambush Ye Ming, right?"

Keqing concluded.

“Yes, that’s it!” Hu Tao nodded.

"Then why is it you sleeping in this bed, and not Gan Yu?"

Ke Qing sneered.

"..."

Hu Tao was speechless for a moment.

"Because Gan Yu is entangled with Lafite."

After a long pause, Hu Tao weakly offered her explanation.

"How could such an innocent and adorable little girl like Raffi possibly pester Gan Yu?"

Ke Qing simply didn't believe it. "Even if Raffi is strong, stronger than Gan Yu, she's still just an innocent little girl who doesn't know anything. If Gan Yu really had the idea of ​​a night raid, she could easily fool Raffi with any excuse, right?"

"This……"

Hearing Ke Qing's words, Hu Tao didn't know how to refute them for a moment. After thinking for a long time, she hesitated and said, "Perhaps it's because Raffi is too cute, and Gan Yu can't bear to refuse Raffi?"

"Hehe, Gan Yu may be gentle and kind, but she is also an immortal who has survived since the war between gods and demons. If she really wants to launch a night raid, how could she stop because a little girl is too cute?"

Perhaps Gan Yu initially thought she would lull Raffi to sleep first, and then take action after she fell asleep. However, she did not expect that after Raffi fell asleep, she would find that she could not break free from Raffi's embrace.

This was the only possibility Hu Tao could think of, but she also knew that this guess was too deliberate and forced, and even if she said it, Ke Qing wouldn't believe it.

"and……"

Ke Qing continued, glancing at the two bottles of medicine on the bedside table, and pressed, "The sleeping potion is one thing, but that colorless and odorless transparent liquid must be a special drug that Qi Qi concocted to stimulate a person's instincts and thus affect consciousness. Why did you bring this kind of drug to see Ye Ming? It's so obvious, and you still want to tell me that you weren't the one who drugged him last night?"

"No, that's not how it is. I didn't have that thought at first. I just, I just..."

Hu Tao was a little unsure how to explain.

Yes, she did bring those two medicines to Ye Ming, but honestly, she didn't intend to do anything to him.

After all, there's only so much time in the morning. She's just arriving a little earlier, and Gan Yu Enterprise will be here soon. Even if Hu Tao is eager to solidify their relationship, she doesn't need to be in such a rush. What if she gets caught in bed with someone? How embarrassing would that be?

Moreover, she and Ye Ming had already chosen a ring yesterday, and their relationship was confirmed. Hu Tao didn't really care about having a physical relationship anymore. Having no experience with that kind of thing between men and women, Hu Tao wasn't particularly enthusiastic. All she wanted was Ye Ming's acknowledgment.

She was already content to be able to wear a wedding ring.

……

Well, she still cares a little about having sex.

She had brought the medicine with her intending to hide it somewhere in the bedroom, just in case Ye Ming didn't make a move on her later, she could find a suitable opportunity to use it. However, she never expected that Ye Ming would be so proactive this time.

Caught off guard, Hu Tao didn't have time to find a suitable place to hide the medicine, so she could only put it in the bedside table for the time being.

Hu Tao really didn't want to tell Ke Qing about this, but she didn't want to take the blame for Gan Yu either. Helpless, she had no choice but to make up her mind and tell the whole story.

"Keqing, listen to me, actually I..."

"Hey? Wait a minute!"

Halfway through the conversation, Hu Tao suddenly realized a very important issue.

She stared intently at Ke Qing, her gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Ke Qing, how do you know the medicine in my bottle is colorless and odorless? How do you know it can stimulate the body's instincts and affect a person's consciousness? And how do you know this medicine was made by Qi Qi?"

"what!?"

Ke Qing was dumbfounded.

It was only then that she realized that in her emotional state, she hadn't thought things through and had accidentally let something slip.

Oops!

Ke Qing broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

How did I know?

I also got some of this medicine from Qiqi and used it myself. The effect was very good, and the experience was great.

Of course, Ke Qing couldn't possibly say that.

By saying this, isn't it tantamount to directly stating that the reason she was able to get together with Ye Ming was not because of deep feelings, nor because she revealed her identity and gained Ye Ming's acceptance, but simply because she used such despicable means as drugs to force Ye Ming to take responsibility?

Ke Qing, one of the seven stars of Liyue, is a powerful figure in Liyue who can control everything. How could she do something like drugging a man? If word gets out, wouldn't her companions in Liyue laugh their heads off?

We cannot admit it! We absolutely cannot admit it!

"I know about this medicine because... because I overheard Qiqi mentioning it when I was on the Teyvat continent!"

Keqing spoke with a firm tone, as if it were really true.

This time, it was Hu Tao who was sneering.

"Keep making things up, Ke Qing, you're really something."

As she said this, Hu Tao glanced at Ke Qing and continued, "I'm afraid you don't know, so I'll remind you that this medicine was secretly made by Qi Qi without telling anyone. I only got this bottle of medicine from Qi Qi after promising to keep this secret forever. Qi Qi is too busy keeping it a secret to mention it to anyone."

Ke Qing buried her head deep in the blankets, speechless.

Hu Tao, realizing what was happening, found it increasingly amusing and couldn't help but mock, "Ke Qing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, actually uses drugs on men! Gan Yu, the secretary of the Moonlit Pavilion, actually uses drugs on her own sisters! How impressive! Is this what we Liyue people are like? When did we all become drug-using masters?"

As she spoke, Hu Tao couldn't help but think of the time she saw Qin that morning. Because of a series of unexpected accidents, she hadn't had a chance to tell Ke Qing and Gan Yu about it yet.

Fortunately, Qin didn't find out about this embarrassing incident.

"If word got out, people who didn't know better would think that using medicine was a traditional skill of the Liyue people. If the Grand Master of the Mondstadt Knights, that self-proclaimed upright and noble knight princess of the Gunnhildr family, heard about this shameful thing, wouldn't she seize the opportunity to laugh at us mercilessly?"
