Junze and Ganyu returned to Yuehai Pavilion.
After what had just happened, Ganyu should have had plenty of work to deal with. But clearly, she had no heart to continue working.
Even if she forced herself to do it, she would only end up distracted and inefficient.
So instead of wasting time, it was better to rest properly.
Even now, Ganyu was still shaken by what happened earlier.
A child going missing is something any mother would fear for a lifetime.
Of course, Junze was not Ganyu's child, even if he did drink coconut milk. But in her heart, he was just as important.
She absolutely would not allow something like that to happen again.
She felt she needed to visit Cloud Retainer and ask for something.
At the very least, something that could tightly link her and Junze together.
He was still so small, so cute, so sensible. What if he got lost and someone sold him off?
Seeing Ganyu lost in thought, Junze tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Master, Ze will stay behind Master from now on. I won't run around."
Junze was very good at reading Ganyu's expression.
Ganyu paused, then revealed a faint smile.
"Alright."
A sensible child truly makes elders fond of them.
Especially a child like Junze.
At that moment, Ganyu seemed to remember something.
Blushing slightly, she asked, "Um… Ze, are you… still hungry?"
"Hm?"
Junze was stunned for a moment. He did not understand why she suddenly asked such a strange question.
Was she not still worried about him getting lost?
Why was she asking if he was hungry now?
But after noticing Ganyu's expression, his brow lifted slightly.
Junze understood.
At a time like this, even if he had just eaten his fill, he absolutely had to say he was hungry.
"Hungry!"
Junze rubbed his belly.
"Grrr~"
An obviously exaggerated stomach growl rang out.
A creature like Taotie might never truly be full.
"Then… wait a moment."
Blushing, Ganyu walked to a refrigerated cabinet and soon returned to the bedroom.
In her hands was a large bottle of milky white coconut milk.
"Coconut milk!"
Junze exclaimed excitedly.
"Ah… yes, yes, that's right!"
Hearing him call it that, Ganyu looked shy and awkward, but still nodded.
What explanation could be more reasonable than this?
None.
Yes. This was coconut milk.
If anyone said otherwise, she would argue with them.
She hurriedly handed the bottle to him.
"Ze, here."
Junze took it, opened the lid, and soon the entire room was filled with a rich fragrance.
"So fragrant!"
From a pure Taotie instinct perspective, Azhdaha might have been more tempting.
After all, the malice in that dragon was immense.
If he ate it, Junze might grow into a teenager overnight.
But from Junze's human perspective?
Azhdaha was nothing compared to this.
Coconut milk forever.
"Master, do you want to try some?"
Junze grinned and held the bottle toward Ganyu.
"What? No, no, this is for Ze to nourish your body. Master will…"
Before she could finish, Junze dipped his finger into the milk and gently pushed it into Ganyu's mouth.
Junze did not dwell on the sensation.
Instead, he subconsciously compared it to the time Eula had held his horn.
And then he froze.
Unbelievable. The sensitivity of his horns was even greater than his fingers.
Why did horns need nerves this sensitive?
Were they antennas?
He was not some Teletubby.
If he ever clashed head to head with a beast in the future, would he not just collapse on the spot?
Junze silently complained about Taotie's bizarre horns.
But at that moment, the one completely frozen was not only Junze.
Tasting the milk in her mouth, Ganyu stiffened.
She trembled and looked at him in disbelief.
"Ze… what are you doing?"
Junze withdrew his finger and sucked it lightly.
No wasting good food.
He said naturally, "Good things should be shared with Master. Though it seems Master does not like it very much."
"It tastes good and restores energy."
He wore an expression that said Master just does not know good things when she sees them.
"I… you…"
For a moment, Ganyu was truly speechless.
Was this even about whether it tasted good?
All her countless thoughts condensed into one sentence.
I want to disappear.
After that, Ganyu could only watch helplessly as Junze finished all the coconut milk.
Her expression was utterly shattered.
For her, this was still too much.
Junze, however, was laughing wildly inside.
What could be more enjoyable than teasing his beautiful Master?
Nothing.
And he felt no guilt whatsoever.
After all, thanks to his teasing, Ganyu no longer had the heart to dwell on what happened earlier.
This was all for Master's sake.
Junze put his hands on his hips, convinced of his righteous reasoning.
Afterward, in a daze, Ganyu washed up and brought Junze to bed.
But perhaps karma comes swiftly.
Junze had not been smug for long before retribution arrived.
After the emotional ups and downs of the day, Ganyu quickly fell asleep.
But while sleeping, she held Junze tightly.
In this state, how could Junze possibly fall asleep?
Sure, softness was comfortable.
But context mattered.
Of course, being held tightly was understandable.
After what happened today, Ganyu was afraid of losing him.
But why was Master holding onto his horn as well?
Junze felt like fish on a chopping board.
Even in her sleep, Ganyu unconsciously nibbled lightly at his horn from time to time.
It was not exactly pain.
It was… something else entirely.
Junze could not find the right word.
In any case, he was not sleeping tonight.
He tried to struggle, but Ganyu's strength was unexpectedly firm.
There was no breaking free.
And so, Junze could only tearfully repay an entire night's debt for teasing his Master earlier.
