[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Her body moved faster than her brain. Idilia quickly turned around and tried to grab the book on the table and cover it with her hands. Her movements were so big that even Elhaisen couldn't bear to watch.

But her movements were so flustered that her elbow even hit the back of the chair next to her, which seemed to have numb her muscles. The book in her hand suffered the same fate as the pen just now.

Idilia was so humiliated that she almost threw herself forward to block his view with her body.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

She was half-crouching on the ground. Even though she looked extremely embarrassed, she still gave him an awkward smile, trying to use this smile to make him focus on her face instead of the thing on the ground.

Elhaisen was speechless for a moment as he watched her move the book slightly and try to hide it behind him.

Should we say that he has actually seen everything?

However, he has never been a person who likes to cause trouble for himself. After spending a few seconds thinking about Idyllia's possible reaction if he told this, Elhaisen decisively chose to give up.

He pretended not to notice her little action and bent down to pick up the neglected pen for her.

Idilia thanked him shyly.

Elhaisen sat back in his original seat and said calmly, "If you feel embarrassed, you might as well fill out the form as soon as possible. After all, I'm still waiting behind you."

Idyllia had actually almost filled out the form, but given the obvious column for the book title on the form, there was no way she could hand the form over to Elhaisen now.

Just then, the administrator came back from work. Seeing her sitting there stiffly, he walked over and asked, "Are you not done yet?"

Idilia stared at him closely as if she had found her savior.

The administrator's sharp eyes gave him goosebumps, and he couldn't speak clearly: "...What, what happened?"

Idilia shook her head: "It's okay, I've already filled it out and am just about to help the next person fill it out."

Elhaisen glanced at her calmly.

Idilia tilted her head guiltily.

The administrator didn't see the trick between the two and thought that Idilya was trying to reduce his workload. He smiled and said, "Okay, you can return the form to me after you fill it out."

Thinking it was time to get off work, he went back to his workstation to pack up his things with peace of mind.

Idilia coughed lightly and said in a businesslike manner: "Then, please tell me the name and number of your book, Junior Elhaisen."

Although Elhaisen didn't care who was responsible for the registration, he felt a rare sense of disgust when he saw her pretending to be calm.

He leaned back with the book in his hand and tapped the handle of the chair. He seemed neither hurried nor slow, but inexplicably he gave people a sense of oppression.

The House of Religion attaches great importance to knowledge and has strict supervision over books. Under normal circumstances, borrowing registration must be filled out by the person himself under the supervision of an administrator.

If Idilia and the administrator were not familiar with each other, there were not many people around at this time, and the former was the daughter of his immediate superior, the chief librarian, the administrator would not have agreed to such a request. After all, if this matter were to spread, he would surely be criticized.

If this were to be the case with Elhaisen, he would probably also be scolded for being unruly.

Idilia swallowed her saliva, and realized belatedly that her behavior might have brought a bad influence to Elhaisen.

She looked at the form under her hand, then at the expressionless Elhaisen, and began to count on her fingers in confusion, while the latter was watching her with interest as she was anxious and confused like an ant on hot pot.

Idiliya tried desperately: "How about I take you to Puspa Cafe for a drink on the way back? The Patisala pudding there is really good!"

To be fair, Elhaisen was not interested in the coffee or pudding she mentioned. He preferred to see Idilia's embarrassment, so he did not say anything and just handed the book over. Idilia was not sure what he meant and thought he was still angry. She carefully took the book and filled in the book information on the form.

As she handed the completed form to the administrator, she was still racking her brains to think about what to do next, but when she turned around, she saw that Elhaisen had stood up.

Seeing that she was standing there timidly and didn't dare to follow, Elhaisen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you say you would buy me a drink?"

Idilia was overjoyed and followed him happily.

*
Idyllia had to admit that it was wrong of her to have fantasies about this guy named Elhaisen, but there was no need for this guy to shatter her fantasies so thoroughly, right?

Before arriving at the Puspa Café, she had been happily thinking that she might be able to use this opportunity to get closer to Elhaisen. However, after arriving, the latter sat opposite her in a daze, reading a book, and even declined all the drinks she recommended.

Rejected to the point of doubting her life, Idilia huddled in the corner of a chair, biting a pudding spoon.

Is this really a treat?

She was extremely depressed, her mind was racing. Sometimes she wondered what Elhaisen wanted from coming here with her without asking for anything else, and sometimes she thought it was really too much that he didn't even look at her after all that time.

Little did he know that her unpredictable expression due to these thoughts had already become the spice in Elhaisen's breaks between readings.

Elhaisen was distracted for a rare moment.

He looked at the words on the paper, his eyes gradually became empty, and he thought of something that happened a long time ago.

At that time, Elhaisen's grandmother was still alive and would occasionally talk to him about the House of Ordinances. Perhaps for the purpose of admonishment, most of the cases she talked about were cases where geniuses went to extremes and eventually ruined themselves.

Elhaisen once tried to think about the relationship between IQ and human nature, but it is often difficult to reach a conclusion on such things, just as there is often only a fine line between genius and madness.

However, he obviously did not expect that genius and fool could be used to describe the same person, and that person was Idilya.

Realizing that he had stayed on the same page for too long, Elhaisen glanced at the contents of the book, read it at a very fast speed, and then calmly turned the page.

Idilia was still immersed in her own little world and didn't notice his little move to make up for the loophole.

Look, this guy is always so slow. Not only did he not realize that he had seen through her intentions and used her trick to kill time, he also did not realize how familiar he was with her class schedule when he reminded her in the morning.

Elhaisen was waiting to see her shocked expression, but Idilia didn't notice at all and just ran away.

Although it is possible that she did not have time to ask because of time pressure, she has not responded at all until now. Elhaisen has reason to suspect that she has not really thought about it at all.

They have a low level of vigilance and are easily deceived, whether through provocation or any other means.

El Haisen closed the book and said, "Now that you have finished eating, it is time to go back."

Because she was still thinking about something, Idilia didn't notice that the cup of pudding in her hand was empty. Hearing this, she looked at the cup blankly, then at him.

Hmm, when did he see it? Wasn't he just reading a book?

Idilia was completely puzzled, but she still put the cup down obediently and followed him out.

Elhaisen's eyes flickered.

See, vigilance is really poor.
