Her anticipation grew even stronger.

Wouldn't it be even more interesting to see the usually gentle and quiet Liyue immortals break down in their defenses?

"Just one short segment, or if that's not possible, a few photos will do."

Hu Tao clung to Ye Ming's arm, hanging her entire weight on him like a koala, gently shaking his arm and pleading softly.

Feeling the wonderful touch of the girl's tender breasts, Ye Ming shook his head again.

"This isn't a good idea, let's not do it."

As he said this, Ye Ming changed the subject, saying, "What time is it now? My family must be worried about me disappearing for so long. I need to make a phone call."

"No need to call. I've already messaged Ke Qing to tell her that you're with me, and she'll pass on the message."

Although she had many interesting ideas in her mind and had done many things that could hardly be considered stable, Hu Tao still knew what was important. Of course, she wouldn't kidnap Ye Ming without saying a word and leave no clues for those who cared about Ye Ming to worry about.

"Please, just take a short video, please. Or we can just take a few photos, just a few."

Hu Tao clung tightly to Ye Ming's arm.

Ye Ming shook his head: "These kinds of things should only be done at the right time, in the right place, and in the right atmosphere. Right now is really not suitable. Besides..."

"Hu Tao, how can you just take pictures of such private things and send them to others? Even if that person is Ke Qing, it's still not a good thing."

"Private matters?"

Hearing Ye Ming's words, Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then she finally understood what Ye Ming meant, and a blush rose on her cheeks.

How could I possibly film something like that?!

Hu Tao was both embarrassed and angry. Although she liked to cause trouble, she was still an innocent young girl. How could she be so bold as to film such a thing, let alone send it to Ke Qing?

"What are you thinking! I was talking about ordinary photos of holding hands and hugging!"

As she said this, Hu Tao's eyes darted around, and she feigned a shy expression. She hugged Ye Ming's arm, leaned shyly on his shoulder, and whispered, "If you really want to, after we take the photos, I... I might be able to..."

As she said this, Hu Tao's heart began to beat faster.

Although I'm just tricking him into taking photos now, what should I do if he really wants them after the photos are taken? Should I agree, refuse, or just silently endure it without doing anything?

A question flashed through her mind, but even the usually quirky Hu Tao couldn't come up with an answer for a long time.

"Oh, this. Even ordinary photos are private matters concerning personal privacy. That's what I'm talking about. What did you think it was?!"

Ye Ming retorted naturally.

Hearing what Hu Tao said, he realized he had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed.

That makes sense; even girls in games wouldn't be that bold.

It can only be said that it's all Keqing's fault for leading people astray.

Ye Ming shamelessly shifted the blame onto Ke Qing. Looking at Hu Tao, who was clinging tightly to his arm and refusing to let go, he thought for a moment and said, "I can take the photos, but you have to promise me two things."

"Go ahead!" Walnut was delighted that her goal had been achieved.

"First: Tell me your relationship with Kurumi in the game. You need to explain in detail. You can't use ambiguous answers like 'yes' or 'no'."

Ye Ming had asked Ke Qing about this before, and Ke Qing's answer was "yes and no."

"Second, tell me, is the relationship between you and me, between Liyue and Teyvat, really just a simple relationship between players and a game? Is there any story between us that I don't know about now?"

Ye Ming had considered asking Ke Qing about this, but judging from Ke Qing's expression, she didn't seem too keen to say, so Ye Ming didn't bring it up.

These two points have always been Ye Ming's biggest doubts.

Through Laffey and the Enterprise, Ye Ming already knew that his relationship with Azur Lane was purely that of a player and a game. The relationship with FGO was still unclear, and as for Genshin Impact, based on Keqing's behavior, Ye Ming always felt that he and Keqing seemed to have some past that he didn't know about.

Perhaps the answers to these questions can be found in Walnut.

"Okay, but I can only tell you about you and me. I don't know much about other people, and what I say may not be true. Telling them might mislead you."

Without even having time to think, Hu Tao immediately nodded in agreement to Ye Ming's request, her attitude completely different from Ke Qing's.

"Okay, okay, I promise you. Come on, get ready, we're going to take pictures."

…………

"Sister Keqing, don't you really want to go back and comb your hair?"

In the villa's living room, Raffi looked at Ke Qing with concern, her hair disheveled and her clothes slightly messy.

"Need not."

Keqing remained calm.

She glanced at Gan Yu, whose hair was also somewhat disheveled, on the opposite sofa. Noticing Ke Qing's gaze, Gan Yu gave Ke Qing a gentle smile, as if the battle just now had never happened.

Ke Qing coughed lightly and said, "Actually, this time, the company and I have..."

Halfway through her sentence, Ke Qing's phone suddenly vibrated a few times.

Across from Ke Qing, Gan Yu's phone also vibrated at the same time.

Ke Qing and Gan Yu exchanged a surprised glance, picked up their phones, and turned on the screen.

Several new messages appeared on WeChat.

The sender is Hu Tao.

Ke Qing opened the message, and after seeing its contents, her body instantly froze.

Chapter Ninety-Five: Sweet Rain, Broken

Ke Qing stared blankly at the WeChat message Hu Tao had sent her, her body stiff.

The first message was a set of pictures.

The main character in the picture is Ye Ming, who is bound with ropes, blindfolded, and gagged, and appears to be unconscious. The supporting character is a beautiful girl who is next to the unconscious Ye Ming, sometimes holding up her phone with one hand and smiling brightly while making a victory sign with the other, and sometimes helping the unconscious Ye Ming up and leaning him against her chest, their faces pressed together with a bright smile.

This girl is Hu Tao.

There is also a voice message following the image.

Keqing opened the voice message, and Hu Tao's cheerful voice came through the phone's speaker.

"Hey, Ke Qing, I've found him. Do you remember your promise before you came to China? You said you would share everything you found with Ye Ming and would send the news back immediately so we could compete fairly. Bei Dou Ning Guang and the others believed your lies and agreed to let you come, and look what happened, you really did steal him."

"Not only did she steal food, but she also deliberately hid it. Tell me, if I tell Beidou and Ningguang about this, how will her Liyue companions react? Hey, Keqing, are you ready to face them?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing, who had been somewhat dazed, felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

However, Walnut's voice continued.

"By the way, now that I've found him, I'm not going to return him yet. I'm planning to elope with him and spend a few days alone together. I don't think you'll have any objections, Keqing. If I have a good time these few days, I might forget some unpleasant things and forget what I had to say to Beidou Ningguang and the others."

"Oh, and remember to tell other people about this, so they don't worry."

That's all for now, bye-bye~

Hu Tao's voice message ended there. After listening to Hu Tao's words, Ke Qing was completely speechless for a moment.

Of course, she didn't want Hu Tao and Ye Ming to be alone together. No one knew what Hu Tao, with her wild imagination and many tricks up her sleeve, would do. But after hearing Hu Tao's last words, Ke Qing couldn't stop her. If Hu Tao really told Bei Dou and Ning Guang about her cheating, she would be doomed.

Damn it! This is completely different from what was planned!

Ke Qing's head was throbbing.

According to her plan, once her relationship with Ye Ming became a fait accompli, she should have a long enough time to strategize and, as the main wife, defeat Li Yue's companions one by one.

But because of Walnut, all of that was destroyed.

Ke Qing felt a sense of helplessness and powerlessness. She sighed and subconsciously glanced at the company and Lafite.

The company remained calm, as if they had witnessed similar scenes many times before, showing no concern whatsoever about Ye Ming being kidnapped by Hu Tao. Meanwhile, Lafite…

The little girl's beautiful burgundy eyes were full of curiosity and excitement, practically screaming "This is so interesting, I want to eat some melon seeds!"

"Enterprises, Lafite, aren't you worried?"

Keqing doesn't quite understand.

"That woman meant no harm and isn't a bad person, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

Before the company could speak, Laffey interjected, "Although I only heard her voice, I'm certain that the woman is a kind and pure girl, and she definitely likes the Commander."

Ship girls' intuition about feelings is just that irrational.

"and……"

At this point, Laffey paused slightly, then lazily leaned on Enterprise's lap, reminiscing: "Back in the port, many ship girls tried to do the same thing to the Commander, but none of them succeeded. The only one with the best chance, Sister Roon, had just prepared her chain scalpel and formaldehyde when she was knocked unconscious by Emperor Petre the Great with one punch, and all her tools were confiscated."

What are chains and scalpels for? Formalin is for preservation, right? What exactly is that Ron guy trying to do? Why is he so calm when you're talking about these things?

Ke Qing couldn't help but complain. For the first time, she felt that Ye Ming was carrying a burden that was probably much greater than she had imagined.

However, Keqing agreed with Lafite's assessment of Walnut.

Although Hu Tao is quirky and often does things that leave people speechless, she is essentially a lively and kind girl; she's just a little playful on a daily basis.

Moreover, Ke Qing also knew Hu Tao's feelings for Ye Ming, and knew that Hu Tao would never hurt Ye Ming under any circumstances. On the contrary, she would risk her life to protect him.

Therefore, Ke Qing never felt that Ye Ming's safety was threatened. What she was worried about was that Hu Tao might do something unexpected that would shake her position as the main wife.

but……

Just now, Gan Yu's phone also seemed to vibrate. Did she also receive a message from Hu Tao?

Thinking of this, Ke Qing glanced curiously at Gan Yu on the opposite sofa.

Noticing Ke Qing's gaze, Gan Yu hesitated for a moment, then opened Hu Tao's message, clicked on Hu Tao's voice message, and selected to play it.

"Hey, Gan Yu, did you see that? The man I tied up is Ye Ming. By the way, I found Ye Ming by following Ke Qing. You should understand now, Gan Yu. You treat Ke Qing like a best friend, but your best friend is all sisterly with you in front of you, but behind your back, she's stealing your man."

"Are you very angry? Don't be angry. To help you get revenge, I've decided to punish Ke Qing severely, steal her man, elope with him, and let her experience your pain as well."

"No need to thank me, we're best friends, it's only right that I stand up for you."

“Gan Yu, as your good sister, I believe you definitely won’t tell Bei Dou Ning Guang and the others about this, right? However, if someone leaks the news, in order to atone for my sins, I will have to change my original plan to hand Ye Ming over to you and hand Ye Ming over to Bei Dou Ning Guang and the others to atone for my sins.”

"Well then, that's settled then. See you in a few days. In the meantime, I'll be updating my elopement life on my WeChat Moments. Feel free to check it out."

Walnut's voice message ends here.

Gan Yu's resilient heart, honed since the war between gods and demons, is now as fragile as porcelain, riddled with cracks.
