"You're really taking your time," Rita sighed softly. "So, what's the next stop?"
…………
"...Who are you two?"
Construction site ahead.
Wearing a white safety helmet, Keqing looked at Liu Bai and "Kafka" with a surprised expression.
"Come and take a look, and see if there's anything we can do to help."
On the construction site, Ke Qing completely lost her charm—her very high-quality black stockings.
Instead, they wore very simple work clothes.
However, Keqing is already quite beautiful, and even in her work clothes, she has a kind of simple beauty.
"You two seem more like you're here to cause us trouble." Ke Qing glanced at their casual clothes and said bluntly, "If you want to take a look, put on your helmets."
Keqing found two red safety helmets nearby and handed them to the two people.
"..."
Liu Bai suddenly looked at the helmet, and then at Ke Qing's head.
"...What's wrong?" Bai's gaze made Ke Qing feel a little uncomfortable, so she adjusted her hat.
"It's nothing." Bai calmly put down his hat.
For a fleeting moment, he wondered why Keqing's cat ears weren't peeking out from under her hat.
Then I realized, that's a cat ear hairstyle...
Not to mention, the idea of wearing a hat while revealing animal ears is just too fantastical.
"Oh...it's nothing." Ke Qing repeated somewhat stiffly.
Ever since she used Liu Bai's miraculous tools to do unspeakable things to Liu Bai, Ke Qing felt that a crack had appeared in her morality, which she had upheld for over twenty years.
Even when facing Liu Bai, she felt a little guilty.
Not to mention that Kafka, who is right in front of us, is also one of the parties involved.
I knew she was already in a relationship, yet I still took advantage of her...
Why couldn't I control myself back then?
A wise person is cautious even when alone; our ancestors were right!
If that matter is discovered... my life as a Yuheng Star will be over, right?
"Well, let's go in and take a look. As outsiders, you two shouldn't act alone. Remember to stay close to me." After the two put on their helmets, Ke Qing took a deep breath. "This way, I'll show you around."
The construction site was a bustling scene, with everyone performing their duties in an orderly manner under Ke Qing's management.
"Can it all be completed within a month?" Bai had seen some progress before.
"It's about resuming production; it will still take some time to complete everything." Ke Qing suppressed her distracting thoughts and corrected her, "The damage this time was relatively minor, mostly concentrated in..."
When talking about her work, Ke Qing's somewhat reserved speaking speed gradually returned to normal.
"...This time Ningguang's funding is sufficient, and the supply channels in all aspects are smooth. At the latest, the entire Liyue Harbor can be restored to its original state within six months."
"So, there's nothing we can do to help?"
"You two simply don't have any knowledge in this area."
Ke Qing really wanted to complain, "With the two of you like this, it's already a miracle if you don't make things worse at the construction site."
Okay, although being strong can sometimes make you unreasonable.
"Hmm... By the way, I'm really grateful to Chi You before."
"I'm so tired of hearing this kind of talk these past few days."
"Rituals must not be disregarded." Ke Qing said very seriously.
(Did Lord Liu Bai use one of those?)
Throughout the entire battle against Chi You, Liu Wubai, though seemingly short-lived, managed to save many people before Chi You launched his massive invasion.
Others attributed this to Liu Bai's magic.
Ke Qing knew that Liu Bai had used time stop.
And judging from the situation, it's highly likely that they'll still use running.
After reaching this conclusion, Ke Qing couldn't help but admire Liu Bai.
Forgive her for having some prejudice against Liu Bai personally.
"How about I treat you two to a meal during your lunch break? Don't worry, it's not a construction site meal."
Chapter 295 The Melancholy of the Jade Balance Star
Before lunch, Ke Qing changed back into her old clothes: a purple dress, black stockings, and cat ears.
Yeah, it tastes just right.
For lunch, Ke Qing didn't go to any fancy hotel, but instead ate at the makeshift Wanmintang.
"The food's served! Brother Liu, here's a pot of braised game meat for you. We really owe you a lot for that day!"
The young chef Xiangling still looks energetic, and the fact that Wanmintang was destroyed by the Honkai Beasts doesn't seem to have affected her at all.
Hmm... Although they're both energetic characters, Xiao Guizi can pull off a more aloof look, while Xiangling isn't as good at it...
"Thanks, Xiangling."
"Brother Liu, you're being too polite. You and Lord Yuheng, please enjoy your meal."
It's better to address people by their job title when you're out and about.
"If you need anything else, just let me know."
"You've really helped a lot of people." Ke Qing watched Xiang Ling leave. "...Um, is everything alright?"
"In what aspect?" Ke Qing's words left Liu Bai somewhat bewildered.
Does it matter what?
"It's that... just pretend I didn't ask."
Ke Qing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
After encountering time-stop pocket watches, she tried to learn about similar things—specifically, by searching for the keyword "time-stop pocket watch" on an app.
The result... only made Keqing blush and deepened her sense of guilt.
Those fictional characters had to try many times before daring to do those outrageous things, but I did it as soon as I started...
Of course, this does not mean that she is the kind of person who is dissolute.
That was just normal curiosity! Yes! Curiosity!
Who can blame them when Liu Bai's thing has such a strong presence!
Keqing couldn't help but glance at Kaffa next to her again.
That night, Your Majesty, if the sheep hadn't stopped at Lin Shi Ba Shi Shi "I mistakenly touched" Bai, then the one who left the deepest impression on her should be Kafka.
Re-upload ...
Even now, she blushes when she thinks about that scene.

"Keqing?" Bai looked at Keqing, whose face had turned red again. "Are you... feeling unwell?"
It's a very cliché question.
But Liu Bai couldn't very well ask Ke Qing directly, "Are you fantasizing about something down there?"
Some questions are so cliché that they can only be asked in this way.
"Yes, I am feeling a little unwell." Ke Qing paused for a moment, then realized that her expression might have given her away, so she decided to take the opportunity to back down.
Correspondingly, Ke Qing's face turned even redder.
"Um... I suddenly remembered I have some things to do! Sorry! I'll have to go now! You two please continue eating, I'll go pay the bill, and I'll treat you again next time."
Some ideas, once born, cannot be suppressed.
Especially with Liu Bai and Kafka right in front of her, they were practically tempting her to think about those shameful things.
(I really need to calm down more...)
However, the reason why Keqing was having wild thoughts all stemmed from that night when she used Liu Bai's time-stop pocket watch, and then touched Liu Bai's huge thing a couple of times, making Liu Bai stand up.
On the one hand, there's the guilt of taking other people's things without permission.
On the other hand... it's probably a complex feeling of touching a "taboo"?
Qingqing.
Yuheng, a noblewoman from a prestigious family in Liyue, is a model "top student" with most of the qualities that an excellent leader should possess.
However, these virtues absolutely do not include being good at matters between men and women.
While Ningguang, Yelan, and Beidou had their share of risqué jokes from their school days, Keqing only had very basic health knowledge that she had when she was in school.
It will tell you about the differences between men and women, what pregnancy is and how to get pregnant, and it will also tell you to pay attention to personal hygiene and self-respect.
But I will absolutely not teach you how to masturbate or self-please.
They certainly won't tell you how to give someone a blowjob or touch.
So Keqing is currently venturing into a... somewhat taboo area for her.
Moreover, it wasn't a matter of entering in a conventional way, but rather being suddenly pulled in—and directly witnessing the scene of multiple people's debauchery—although only Kaffa was actually sexually assaulted.
Who would start with silver handkerchiefs as their first contact with nature?
Of course, Keqing isn't someone who easily overthinks things, but the trio of her, Liu Bai, and Kafka directly evoked memories of that time.
And at that time, she did something that made her feel guilty...
“Miss Keqing looks… shy, doesn’t she?” Rita asked seriously.
Feeling unwell and blushing due to shyness are two completely different things. Liu Bai could tell, so Rita could tell even better.
Rita's gaze towards Liu Bai then began to turn strange.
"Rita, what are you looking at?"
"Trying to evoke your guilt."
"I didn't do anything to her..." Bai was speechless.
He's had quite a bit of contact with Keqing lately, but it's hard to say they're close...
To describe them, they are just normal work partners.
"It couldn't have been done without my knowledge..."
Ah, wait a minute, it seems... I actually experienced something here that fits this condition?
"What are you thinking about?" Rita's expression was slightly displeased.
So it really exists?
"I think... I might have been sexually assaulted."
"you?"
"Yes, it's possible that Keqing molested me."
I was almost unaware of what was happening. Ningguang's side had a large and powerful force, and I couldn't do anything to Keqing.
The answer is quite simple—Keqing may have done something to herself that's hard to describe.
"...I think it's more likely that Miss Keqing fell in love with you at first sight."
