As Teacher Qin Yu began his search for his little padded jacket,
On the other side,
Inside the tearoom, in a warm and tidy room.
"Mmm—so happy!"
The graceful young girl leaped onto the bed, burying her face in the soft pillow.
Outside the window, warm sunlight streamed in.
The girl kicked her bare, clean feet, looking exceptionally cute.
[Nilou, what has you so happy?]
Suddenly, the Goddess of Flowers' teasing voice rang out.
The moment the words fell, the excited girl's body stiffened.
"I, I was just...!"
With a thud, Nilou sat up in a fluster.
She hugged the pillow to her chest, stammering as she tried to explain.
[Lying is no use in front of me.]
The Goddess of Flowers chuckled, full of fondness.
Nilou, pure and kind, clearly couldn't hide her girlish thoughts.
But it was precisely this carefree girl who gained the favor of this deity.
Perhaps, this was their destined connection.
The souls of the two women had merged into one, becoming an inseparable entity.
"Nilou found a great teacher, of course she's happy."
The girl mumbled into the pillow.
It wasn't because of other thoughts.
She thought to herself, trying to convince herself.
Alas, her flushed earlobes still told the tale.
[It seems you care a lot about Qin Yu.]
"N-no way!"
...kuAiδugg
After a round of playful bickering,
Nilou calmed her mood and decided to get out of bed to welcome Teacher Qin Yu.
"Mm..."
She stretched out her long, fair legs, her delicate, cute toes curling slightly.
The shoes not far away were successfully hooked back.
As her legs moved gracefully, the elegance and beauty of dance were fully displayed, capable of various poses.
In the sunlight, they even reflected a gentle glow.
Yes, those legs were so white.
After putting on her shoes, Nilou sat on the edge of the bed and tidied her slightly disheveled dress.
Finally, she made the bed and went to the vanity table by the window.
In the flowerpot, the purplish-red Padisarah bloomed exquisitely.
"Good morning, Flower classmate~"
Nilou sat down and greeted it, full of energy.
She began to comb her hair in front of the mirror.
She deliberately re-tied her twin ponytails.
"Teacher was staring at Keqing sister's twin ponytails before."
"He even said something about wanting them tonight..."
Nilou murmured, looking at herself in the mirror.
The innocent girl felt a little indignant.
She had twin ponytails too, why wasn't he looking at hers?
Nilou would fulfill the teacher's wish during the day, no need to wait until night!
"Oh, and cooking."
"Hmm, should I prepare another dance?"
The girl tapped her small head with a troubled look.
There were so many things to do.
Go, Nilou!
Nilou clenched her small pink fist, starting a new round of busyness.
Just like a newlywed wife busy with household chores.
I wonder which lucky fellow will get to benefit from such a perfect girl in the future?
...
Time slowly passed.
In the corridor, Qin Yu sneezed.
He wondered which little girl was thinking of him.
Well, it could be an older sister too.
...Or a blonde loli?
Regarding this, Qin Yu stated he was already accustomed to it.
Having too many types to choose from was also a bother.
Well, he could handle it.
He shook his head, quickly dispelling the odd thoughts.
He was here to deepen his bond with his little padded jacket.
"Nilou's room is..."
After wandering around, he finally arrived at a closed door.
Vaguely, he could still hear the sounds of a girl running back and forth.
"Such an energetic girl."
Qin Yu smiled slightly, instinctively tilting his ear to listen.
A girl's life was always mysterious.
But before Qin Yu could do anything, the footsteps inside paused.
"Te-Teacher... you're so fast...!"
A sweet voice panted, as if she was exercising.
"Then should I go slower?"
Qin Yu blinked, responding instinctively.
But he quickly realized.
What kind of strange remark was that!
"Teacher, please come in quickly."
Soon, the room door was gently opened.
The clear and lovely girl peeked out, her smile warm.
"Excuse me for intruding."
Qin Yu looked at Nilou, whose face was rosy, and smiled.
So obedient and cute, she would surely be a good student who respects her teacher.
Yes, he had forgotten one thing.
Nilou's senior disciple was already a rebellious inverse disciple.
...
Entering the room.
"Teacher, please sit down."
Nilou proactively pulled out a chair and smiled.
She had just finished cooking, and wondered if the teacher would like it.
"Thank you."
Qin Yu smiled, his gaze amazed.
His own little padded jacket could prepare such a lavish meal.
Indeed, a sensible Nilou, she was amazing.
"Teacher, please have some tea first!"
"Okay."
"Teacher...!"
"Wait a moment."
Qin Yu stopped Nilou and said softly:
"Nilou doesn't want to be like this with Teacher, right?"
Being like this made them feel distant.
"Mmm-hmm."
Nilou blinked her big eyes, her slightly nervous mood also eased.
Teacher was a very gentle person.
Thinking this, she also sat down, looking expectantly at Qin Yu.
As if unintentionally, she swayed her hair.
"Nilou?"
Qin Yu looked at her playful twin ponytails and was slightly taken aback.
"Teacher, do I look good?"
Nilou propped her face with both hands, her expression innocent.
What bad intentions could the little dancer have?
But she clearly underestimated her own charm.
"You are very beautiful, Nilou."
"Thank you, Teacher."
The girl, receiving praise, her beautiful eyes curved, and she said sweetly.
"Mm..."
Qin Yu nodded, feeling a bit weak all over.
He took a deep breath, calming himself.
His little padded jacket was suddenly so sweet.
Clearly, this sudden feeling was not normal.
"Teacher?"
Nilou blinked, and leaned closer with concern.
After coexisting with the Goddess of Flowers, she would occasionally exhibit such heart-stirring fluctuations.
Like alluring floral fragrance, it was captivating.
In essence, this was a manifestation of the Goddess of Flowers' authority.
This was also a nagging problem that had been bothering her.
"Sorry, I was just a little distracted."
Qin Yu shook his head, not being greatly affected.
"Teacher is so amazing."
Nilou's beautiful eyes lit up, and she moved closer.
"So this is also your ability."
Qin Yu murmured.
During their previous casual chats, he had heard Nilou talk about another soul friend.
As for her identity, she hadn't mentioned it.
Some people or matters could not be explicitly stated.
What if it was observed...
In short, his student was truly special.
So...
Qin Yu looked at Nilou, who had pushed herself up and leaned closer, and was slightly stunned.
Isn't she a little too close?
"Teacher, please help Nilou."
Nilou blinked her innocent big eyes, not realizing anything was wrong.
In her perception, the teacher was a very close person.
The little padded jacket was too warm.
"Of course I'll help."
Qin Yu smiled, his eyes flashing with divine light.
Life energy, everyone who used it said it was good.
He extended his hands, about to place them on Nilou.
But soon, he was in a dilemma.
Where should he put them?
Before Qin Yu could figure it out...
Nilou seized the opportunity, her eyes lighting up.
"Teacher, please grab Nilou's twin ponytails!"
She went to the table, turned her back to Qin Yu, and crouched down.
This way, she could fulfill the teacher's wish.
Keqing sister could do it, Nilou could too!
Qin Yu: "?"
