Returning to the alley with the food, Lumine opened the door with the key Xinyan gave her.
Back in the bedroom, Xinyan was still lying on the bed, still wearing her pajamas.
Of course, there was nothing under the pajamas, and the pajamas themselves were loose. Even though Xinyan deliberately pulled at the hem, one could still vaguely see the scenery inside.
Lumine looked at this scene with both desire and a bit of guilt. She had been too unrestrained yesterday, and Xinyan had been somewhat hesitant yet yielding, so Lumine had used a bit more force.
This resulted in Xinyan still being confined to the bed, and even her pajamas had become loose and ill-fitting due to Lumine's pulling.
"I bought some breakfast. I don't know if it's to your taste." Lumine placed the bought breakfast on the bedside table.
"It's fine, I'm not picky. Just as long as it's not too bland." Xinyan shook her head.
She seemed to have recovered quite a bit, at least daring to look up and meet Lumine's gaze instead of speaking with her head down.
"Hmm, I specially bought it from Wanmin Restaurant. The taste should be very good, and it won't be too bland."
"Wanmin Restaurant? Speaking of which, Xiangling is also your…" Xinyan looked at Lumine, feeling a little emotional.
Lumine's charm was truly immense. Even if everything Lumine said was true, with the enhancement of her own physique, it still wouldn't be easy to make so many people willingly be with her.
"Ahem, accident, Xiangling and I were also an accident." Lumine didn't know how many times she had said "accident" this morning.
But at least from her perspective, many things were not within her control.
Unless she was determined not to interact with any women, no matter how carefully she guarded against it, such accidents were unavoidable.
After all, her own constitution was quite unique.
"Sigh, since things have come to this, let's eat first." Stelle sighed helplessly and placed all the packed food on the table.
"Eh? Xiangling didn't give me any utensils, did she?" Stelle scratched her head, having not noticed such a thing.
As a restaurant, Wanmin Restaurant actually had many disposable chopsticks.
"I have some in my room, but only one pair…" Xinyan thought for a moment and said.
After all, she lived alone and usually had no occasions to entertain friends, so she only had one set of utensils for herself.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, no rush to eat." Stelle shook her head, then got up to find chopsticks.
A moment later, she returned with the chopsticks.
Xinyan was now weak all over, naturally unable to eat by herself, and could only rely on Stelle to feed her.
"Come, ah~" Stelle said to Xinyan with a smile on her face.
"I'm not a child anymore." Xinyan said, blushing again, but still obediently opened her mouth.
"But I can't finish all this, why don't we eat together? Anyway… I don't mind." Xinyan looked at the pile of breakfast Stelle bought on the table and said with a flushed face.
After all, their tongues had even deeply touched and exchanged, would they still care about sharing a set of utensils?
"Hmm, that's fine too." Although Stelle was a little worried that eating with Xinyan might cause the food to spoil or have issues.
But thinking about it carefully, there seemed to have been similar situations before, and nothing major happened.
As long as it wasn't food she made herself, then the problem shouldn't be big.
What's more, she was currently in sage mode.
Thinking this, Stelle also picked up some food, took a bite, and then slowly leaned towards Xinyan.
"Eh!? Wait, mm…" Xinyan had not expected that what Stelle understood as eating together was like this.
However, it seemed that the food had indeed become much more delicious because of it.
Xinyan slowly narrowed her eyes.
-----------------------------------------------
In the afternoon, after ensuring that Xinyan had recovered basic mobility, Stelle finally left Xinyan's doorstep.
Of course, she had already eaten all the nutritious meals Xiangling had prepared for her at Xinyan's house.
Stelle didn't feel much at the moment; previously, after eating in the daytime, she would go to Xiangling once at night, try various positions, and get released, so there was nothing abnormal.
Later, after eating in the morning, nothing happened during the day.
At night, because Hu Tao was not around, and Shenhe was going to work at Wanmin Restaurant the next day, Stelle's body was also in a recovery phase that night, so she didn't do anything, just slept embracing Shenhe.
Although there were inevitably some kisses, hugs, and touches, it ultimately didn't go deeper.
Counting it, since that morning when she ate the nutritious meal prepared by Xiangling, up until last night when she kissed Xinyan's lips, there was almost a full day in between.
"During the day, I didn't feel anything abnormal. Could it be that it only becomes strange at night?" Stelle thought, stroking her chin.
If it was still like this at night, then it might be caused by some other reason.
"Hmm, where should I go?" Stelle sat on the street, feeling a bit troubled for a moment.
She couldn't yet determine the exact time of onset, nor was she very sure whether it was related to this nutritious meal.
If it didn't act up, she could rest assured and go back to sleep, and it wouldn't affect Shenhe.
But if it did act up, she felt that even Shenhe might not be able to resist, and Shenhe's cultivation needed to be stabilized now, which would not be good for Shenhe, and would also affect her work at Wanmin Restaurant the next day.
So, to be safe, it was better to go somewhere else and wait to observe for a while…
As she thought, Stelle unconsciously found herself walking to the entrance of the General Affairs Department.
And right at this entrance, Stelle saw three familiar people.
"Oh, why are you here?" Stelle walked forward and asked the three of Baiwen.
"Ah, it's Miss Stelle." The three saw Stelle and quickly bowed their heads in greeting.
Although they had already had that kind of experience with Stelle, they were even more respectful towards her.
This was natural, after all, they were still Ningguang's subordinates, and they dared not be on equal footing with Ningguang because of this.
Now, they defined themselves as Ningguang's accompanying maids?
"Has Ningguang returned?" Stelle raised an eyebrow and quickly asked.
"No, not yet, it will probably be another two days…" Baiwen shook her head, then looked at Stelle with a slight blush, "Lady Ningguang asked us to come back first, saying that if we saw you, we should put aside our work and serve you well."
"But… it seems we probably can't put down our work now."
"What's wrong?" Stelle asked curiously.
"Ever since Miss Ganyu went to Jueyun Karst to visit relatives, she hasn't returned. Now, all matters, big and small, in the General Affairs Department are handled by us." Baishi sighed.
"Miss Ganyu truly deserves to be the secretary who assists the entire Qixing. Her daily work, even for the three of us to complete, requires our utmost effort, leaving us with no personal time at all." Baixiao said, feeling a sense of defeat.
"Ganyu went to Jueyun Karst to visit relatives?" Stelle was slightly startled, then remembered that Ganyu also seemed to have been raised by Cloud Retainer.
"How about this, you don't have to worry, I can help bring her back."
"Also…" Stelle's voice dropped a little, and a pink heart flashed in her eyes.
"The three of you remember to wash yourselves clean and wait for me tonight."
