"?"
Keqing looked up in surprise.
Her eyes widened slightly as she looked at Qin Yu.
The bonfire was burning slowly.
Qin Yu lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
From an observer's perspective, he was bowing to a doll.
The scene was incredibly strange.
"Qin Yu?"
Keqing's small mouth parted, her gaze complex.
She subconsciously glanced at the stunning figure in the light screen.
It was a woman who was both beautiful and majestic.
Keqing Cat Cat tightened her grip on the map, turning her face away with a huff.
Clearly, this rascal had been up to something earlier.
Why did he become so obedient the moment he encountered this woman?
She had originally planned to give you a chance...
A certain Keqing Cat Cat suddenly felt a bit sour.
"Cough, cough."
Qin Yu coughed lightly and shook his head at Keqing.
This was his superior, so he had to be respectful.
After all, a subordinate couldn't kiss their superior.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the light screen.
"General, good evening."
At the same time, he couldn't help but start pondering.
He wondered why the great leader had suddenly decided to check up on him.
Could it be because he had just...
"Mhm."
In the light screen, Ei watched Qin Yu and nodded slightly.
Her purple eyes blinked, flashing intermittently.
The aloof General remained silent.
"..."
Qin Yu blinked, not surprised.
This feeling... there was only one explanation.
The aloof General was waiting for him to start the conversation.
Qin Yu thought, "I know how to answer this."
"General, are you feeling troubled tonight?"
The person approached the doll and crouched down, speaking softly.
"I was just looking around and didn't expect it to be you."
Ei remained silent for a moment, then said calmly.
Qin Yu: ...
Just looking around would lead her to this desolate place?
Was she treating him like an idiot?
The person decided that he would absolutely not fall for it.
"Hm?"
Ei stared at Qin Yu, her purple eyes narrowing.
Her somewhat fierce gaze was full of threat.
"Ahem, what a coincidence, General."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, deciding to be submissive.
Being an idiot was fine.
Being the General's idiot didn't seem so bad.
"..."
Ei nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly, she remembered something and became suspicious.
"What were you touching just now?"
"And who is that girl?"
The great leader began to question him.
"Ah, I was touching... cough, looking at the moon!"
Qin Yu forced a smile and explained.
He suddenly felt a terrifying sense of impending doom!
"And she's my... um, work partner."
"Is that so? Clearly..."
Ei frowned, as if contemplating something.
"..."
Qin Yu smiled, sweat beading on his forehead.
A chill ran down his back.
A certain Keqing Cat Cat glared at him indignantly.
Danger!
But fortunately, Keqing chose to remain silent in front of Qin Yu, her superior.
After all, the girl knew that Qin Yu worked under her.
She needed to make a good impression now.
It wasn't because she cared about Qin Yu!
"Alright."
Ei pondered for a moment and didn't ask further.
Only the General doll glared fiercely at Qin Yu.
"General?"
"Mhm."
Ei's gaze softened, and she responded softly.
Seeing Qin Yu, her mood calmed down.
After Shenzi arrived at Tenshukaku, she had said a lot of strange things.
For example, as a General, she should take the initiative.
It would be a big problem if someone else took advantage of the situation.
Ei didn't understand, but she would act.
Therefore, she descended with her will and possessed the doll.
"Would you like me to accompany you for a walk, General?"
Qin Yu crouched before the doll and tentatively asked.
As someone by the General's side, he had to be aware of the situation at critical moments.
"Okay."
Before Qin Yu could finish, Ei nodded directly.
Qin Yu blinked.
So she had been waiting for him here all along.
...
Qin Yu gently picked up the General.
... 's doll.
Facing the sea breeze, they strolled on the beach.
He held the doll in his palm, feeling a warmth in his heart.
To be able to take a walk and chat with Ei late at night, anyone who knew would be envious!
He subconsciously poked the doll.
"Don't touch there."
Ei frowned and said softly.
Her consciousness was in the doll, so she could feel it.
However, the person didn't notice at all.
"Where?"
Qin Yu didn't react and asked subconsciously.
He poked it again.
"..."
In the light screen, Ei remained silent.
Just as her gaze was about to turn fierce again.
Qin Yu held the doll up to the starry sky.
"General, it's so beautiful."
"..."
Ei's eyes widened slightly.
"Beautiful?"
She looked at Qin Yu and asked softly.
"Yes, it's too beautiful."
Qin Yu looked up at the starry sky and extended a hand.
"So beautiful that I want to hold it in my hand and make it my own."
Although there were many stars.
He was a greedy person.
"Mhm."
The only response Qin Yu received was a simple "mhm."
Qin Yu lowered his head and looked at Ei.
Ei also looked at him.
They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of gaze.
Suddenly, Qin Yu brought the doll's face up.
Ei's calm gaze wavered.
"General, I miss you."
Qin Yu said earnestly under the starry sky.
"..."
The light screen suddenly darkened.
Qin Yu's eyes widened subconsciously, and he saw...
A hint of joy curled at the corners of Ei's lips.
The smiling General nodded gently.
"Mhm."
