"Sit down, Nilou."
Ei ate the pastry while appraising Nilou.
She nodded intermittently, seemingly pleased with the young girl.
"Then... Sister Ei, Nilou will sit here."
Nilou blinked her eyes and, with graceful, delicate steps, moved to Ei's side and sat down.
She rested her small hands on her knees, pursed her lips, and looked like a well-behaved child.
Nilou didn't know what to say.
She had thought she could leave after delivering the pastries, but she hadn't expected to be kept.
For some reason...
She suddenly felt like a daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws.
Nilou fidgeted with her legs, becoming even more nervous!
Ei subtly raised her purple eyes and looked at Qin, who was quietly approaching in the distance, acting suspiciously.
"..."
Qin shook his head, signaling that he would just listen from afar.
He was still worried about his good student.
"My dear leader, don't scare the young girl."
Ei retracted her gaze.
After becoming a married woman, she believed she had become much gentler.
"Are you one of Yu's students?" she asked casually.
"Yes, yes! Teacher is a very good person!"
Nilou quickly looked up and gave Qin a "good person" card.
"?"
Qin Yu's expression faltered. Where did the sweet clinginess she showed to her teacher in private go?
A good daughter always had a leak somewhere unexpectedly.
"Is that all?"
Ei frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.
"Ah... are there other things?"
The innocent Nilou was confused and spoke without thinking.
But the next second, she realized her mistake and quickly covered her mouth.
Thinking of something, her pretty face turned slightly red.
No, no, that wouldn't do.
Those kinds of things...
Nilou was a good student who respected her teacher and shouldn't have other thoughts!
"I accept you. It just so happens that Yu needs a girl who can take care of him personally."
Ei picked up another small biscuit and said calmly.
Her aura as the queen was fully displayed.
"Personally take care of him?!"
Steam began to rise from Nilou's head, her brain overloaded.
What did that mean?
Thinking of a certain possibility, the innocent girl's heart raced.
"Do you agree?"
"I... I..."
Nilou lowered her head, her voice growing softer.
She hugged herself, seemingly unable to hear even the comfort of the God of Flowers in her ear.
"You don't agree."
Ei looked at Nilou, who was shaking her head, and a flicker of regret crossed her eyes.
In that case, there was no need to force it.
She thought this child quite liked Yu.
"..."
Qin Yu shook his head, his gaze complex.
In his heart, what feelings did he harbor for Nilou?
Although somewhat confused, Nilou was a pure, cute, and well-behaved girl.
It was impossible not to be moved.
Ultimately, Qin was a greedy and wicked fellow.
But she was just a little girl from Sumeru studying abroad...
However, it's okay.
With newfound confidence, no longer lost about the path ahead, you will one day find your own happiness.
Just as Qin Yu was about to leave silently.
"I... I'm just too happy... Sister Ei."
Suddenly, a sweet voice with a slight whimper rang out, like a little kitten.
"Teacher... has helped Nilou a lot."
"Nilou... is just happy when she's by Teacher's side."
Nilou raised her head, her pretty face beaming with a beautiful smile.
She took a deep breath and shouted:
"Nilou likes Teacher the most—!"
"...!"
Qin Yu's eyes widened.
The sun was setting, and the girl was bathed in the afterglow of the dusk, her figure breathtakingly beautiful.
By the riverbank, the water shimmered, the sound of the flow gentle and lovely.
A captivating, faint fragrance wafted over.
Purple-red flowers quietly bloomed in this land.
The Padisarah, the God of Flowers' favorite flower, also symbolizes sincere love.
At that moment, where the sky met the water, the beautiful girl merged with the heavens and earth.
All beauty converged here, as if eternal.
A faint halo appeared around Nilou.
It was the power of the God of Flowers.
"The eternal oasis, absolute peace and beauty."
"Nilou..."
"Your sincerity and passion are your most extraordinary talents."
"Continue to grow like this."
The God of Flowers murmured, finally sighing.
As a deity, she truly envied Nilou.
Where was her eternal oasis belonging to the God of Flowers?
King Deshret... Hmph.
The god who lied to her and everyone else?
If she could go back to the past with Qin Yu, she would definitely give him a good beating.
She would tell him that she had found the man of her heart and that he shouldn't come near her anymore!
"..."
Amidst the blooming sea of flowers, Nilou panted lightly.
She closed her eyes gently, her heart at peace.
Confident, brave.
The beauty belonging to a girl had become clear and firm because of her teacher.
Thank you, Teacher.
"Go talk to Yu."
Ei watched the blooming sea of flowers and smiled.
She and her sister were both happy for this lovely girl.
From now on, it was best to leave them some time alone.
"Eh?"
Nilou looked at Sister Ei, who was leaving with the pastries, and froze.
Sensing footsteps behind her, her head immediately began to steam.
No matter how brave and confident a girl became, she would feel lost when faced with the suddenness of romance.
Her level was still too low.
"Nilou."
Qin Yu came to the girl's side and said softly.
"Teacher... you... you heard all of it...?"
"Yes, I heard it all."
"Wuwu."
Nilou covered her blushing little face and was about to run away.
She was too shy!
But Qin clearly wouldn't let go of the cute student who offered herself up.
He grabbed Nilou's small hand and pulled her into his arms.
Soft jade embraced him, held tightly.
Nilou's delicate body stiffened.
"Teacher... this, this isn't right..."
She murmured, raising her watery eyes, feeling her whole body burning.
"Where isn't Teacher right?"
Qin Yu smiled and slowly placed his hand on Nilou's slender waist.
The moment their skin touched, an astonishing elasticity was felt.
As expected of a dancer who practiced daily, this slender waist...!
His fingertips trembled inadvertently.
And then there was that little bit of soft flesh peeking out from being squeezed by the dance skirt.
Hiss.
Let's pinch it again.
"Teacher... likes it."
After symbolically pushing twice, the girl finally softened into Qin Yu's arms.
After mustering the courage to say this, she buried her head and played the ostrich.
The feeling of happiness struck her, making her feel completely dizzy.
So cute.
"Nilou."
Qin Yu gently cupped her face and said softly.
"Teacher..."
Nilou's long lashes fluttered slightly, and she opened her mouth.
Secret joy, anticipation.
She seemed to guess what would happen next.
"Teacher wants to teach you something else. Do you want to learn?"
"Yes."
"Very well..."
In the sea of flowers, Qin Yu held Nilou and slowly lowered his head.
The sweet girl gently stood on her tiptoes and closed her eyes.
She would try her best to reciprocate this feeling.
"Mwah."
The sunset was beautiful, and their figures finally merged together.
The evening breeze blew, and the sea of flowers swayed.
The purple-red Padisarah witnessed everything.
It was a promise of eternal beauty.
Nilou and Qin Yu would never be separated again.
