Liyue Harbor, Yuehai Pavilion.
Ganyu's antennae-like hair slightly curled as she looked at the thick stack of work documents on the table, appearing a bit melancholic.
Even though Makoto had accompanied her for overtime earlier, her work was still piled up like a mountain.
If she wanted to finish all this work, it would probably be dawn by then, wouldn't it?
Ganyu gently shook her head to clear her thoughts.
She had to work harder; she absolutely had to finish all her work before dawn.
Because she wanted to rush home before dawn to make breakfast for Makoto.
At this moment, a new colleague from Yuehai Pavilion walked in, holding a bowl of supper.
"Ganyu Senior, don't work too hard, have something to eat?"
She saw that Ganyu had worked all day without eating a single meal, so she specifically bought food for Ganyu.
However, the supper was entirely meat dishes, and Ganyu could not stand meat dishes at all, not even if they appeared in her sight.
The Ganyu Secretary at Yuehai Pavilion noticed Ganyu's pale face and immediately stepped forward to ask with concern: "Ganyu Senior, are you alright?"
Ganyu forced a smile and shook her head slightly: "I'm fine, just a little chest tightness, a bit of fresh air will do."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.
Ganyu Senior had never experienced chest tightness before, why was this happening?
The new Ganyu Secretary seemed to have thought of the answer and rushed out in a hurry.
Meanwhile, Ganyu was completely unaware, continuing to work diligently.
Just then, the secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion hurried over.
Seeing Ganyu still working overtime, the secretaries all looked flustered and anxious.
"Ganyu Secretary, why are you still working overtime? It's getting late, please go home and rest quickly."
"Yes, yes, staying up late is bad for your health, Ganyu Secretary, please go home and rest now."
Normally, Ganyu would also work overtime like this, often staying up all night until dawn.
At that time, the secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion would not say anything.
Why were they so unusual today?
It seemed as if they were very concerned about Ganyu's physical condition; every move Ganyu made seemed to tug at the secretaries' heartstrings.
Ganyu didn't know what was going on, and she subconsciously asked: "My work isn't finished yet, can I really rest early?"
The secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion nodded profusely: "Yes, of course you can."
"Ganyu Secretary has been too tired these past few days, she should rest well."
"That's right, Ganyu Secretary's work can be completely handed over to us, please go home and rest well, your health is important!"
Before Ganyu could speak, the secretaries of Yuehai Pavilion had already escorted her to the door, forcibly ending her overtime.
After sending Ganyu away, the secretaries finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving Yuehai Pavilion, Ganyu became increasingly puzzled.
She always felt that something was a bit strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
It felt like... the secretaries were deliberately making her take care of her health.
Why would this be?
Just then, Ganyu heard footsteps approaching from not far away.
She subconsciously looked up and met Makoto's eyes.
Seeing Makoto arrive, Ganyu was overjoyed, casting the secretaries' strange behavior to the back of her mind.
Ganyu quickly ran down the steps and then linked her arm through Makoto's.
The lanterns on both sides of the street cast long shadows of the two.
"No need, no need to specially come and pick me up, I can go home by myself."
"It's cold outside, it would be troublesome if you get sick."
It was the coldest time of the day, and while Ganyu was fine, she was worried Makoto would catch a cold.
Makoto shook his head and said softly: "My physique isn't that bad, don't worry."
"Besides, I'm not comfortable letting a little kid walk home alone at night."
Hearing Makoto call her a little kid, Ganyu pouted and mumbled: "I'm not a little kid."
Makoto chuckled and nodded: "Right, right, Ganyu isn't a little kid."
"I wonder who was calling me 'Gege' just like Ningguang and the others..."
Before Makoto could finish speaking, Ganyu quickly reached out and covered his mouth.
At this moment, Ganyu's face was flushed, and her eyes were shy.
"Don't, don't say anything more."
"Otherwise, I'll ignore you."
Seeing Ganyu's blushing face, Makoto chuckled and nodded: "Okay, I won't say anything."
At this moment, Makoto took out a bento box from his clothes pocket and handed it to Ganyu.
"I don't even need to think, I know you were busy with work and definitely forgot to eat."
"So I specially prepared food for you, eat it while it's hot."
Makoto clearly knew that Ganyu was a workaholic.
After fully immersing herself in work, she often forgot to eat.
Therefore, before coming to pick up Ganyu, Makoto had already prepared food for her.
Ganyu hadn't felt hungry initially, but when she saw the bento box in Makoto's hand, she felt her stomach rumble.
Opening the bento box, it was packed full of food, all her favorite dishes: Qingxin and sweet flower.
Ganyu picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of sweet flower, and offered it to Makoto: "Let's eat together."
"I've tasted it, this sweet flower is very sweet, I want to share it with you."
"Okay." Makoto nodded gently.
"Speaking of which, my colleagues were a bit strange today."
During their meal, Ganyu told Makoto about what had happened today.
Makoto raised an eyebrow and asked: "How so?"
Ganyu put down her chopsticks and recalled seriously: "I was working overtime as usual, and then the secretaries suddenly appeared and told me to go home and rest quickly."
"This has never happened before, and they kept asking about my physical condition, it was very strange."
Makoto shook his head, not understanding the situation.
"Did something you say cause them to misunderstand?"
Ganyu thought for a moment, then replied: "A new secretary brought me a bowl of supper, and it was all meat dishes that I can't stand."
"I said I had a bit of chest tightness and wanted some fresh air, and she ran out, returning with many other secretaries."
As Ganyu's words fell, Makoto suddenly understood.
"In that case, they must have misunderstood."
Ganyu was completely confused.
"Alright, since the secretaries told you to rest well, then you should rest more."
At this moment, Makoto continued.
"The Windblume Festival is about to start in Mondstadt, shall we go see it together?"
Facing Makoto's invitation, Ganyu nodded gently: "Okay!"
Actually, even if Makoto hadn't mentioned it, Ganyu had the idea of participating in the Windblume Festival.
The reason she wanted to work overtime to finish her tasks was actually to free up time to accompany Makoto to Mondstadt.
Because the Windblume Festival is not only a celebration of Wind God Barbatos but also a festival symbolizing love.
Legend has it that couples who go to the foot of the Wind God statue on the day of the Windblume Festival can receive the blessing of the Wind God.
Ganyu didn't want to miss this festival.
...
Family, the author specifically thought about the plot development today, so the update time was delayed.
Two updates for today, and I'll make up the owed chapters tomorrow, for a total of four updates.
I'm really too sleepy, my body can't take it.
Everyone, please rest early, good night.
Family, Ganyu doesn't have that, it was a problem with what I wrote before that caused everyone to misunderstand, I have already made corrections.
