At this time, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only sigh silently in his heart.
Ningguang noticed Su Chen's disappointed expression and couldn't help but let out a charming smile.
But she realized that her current appearance - collar slightly open, hair messy, would probably cause some misunderstanding if Keqing saw it.
So, at this critical moment, Ningguang's brain worked like a high-speed gear and she quickly came up with a clever plan.
A sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she slipped under the desk in front of Su Chen at lightning speed.
Her movements were so fast that even Su Chen didn't have time to react. He could only watch the scene in amazement.
"Huh? What's going on?" Su Chen's mind was full of doubts. Ningguang's sudden behavior made him confused and puzzled: "Why is she avoiding Keqing? This is obviously her office!"
However, before Su Chen had time to think further, he had already understood Ning Guang's intention. The warm feeling coming from under the table made him suddenly realize and at the same time be shocked.
"Could it be that the richest lady in Liyue is so bold?!" Su Chen was amazed. "She actually dared to act so boldly in front of Keqing, this is simply too exciting!"
Su Chen was shocked by Ningguang's courage, but at the same time he felt a little excited about this sudden situation.
This unexpected turn of events made him look at Ningguang with new eyes, and also made the whole situation more dramatic and interesting.
Is it possible that the richest lady in Liyue is having such an exciting time? ! !
In front of Keqing, he praised her and was still eating noodles!!!
Keqing pushed the door open lightly and walked into the office. She frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Huh? Su Chen, why are you the only one here? Where is Ningguang?"
Her eyes swept across the room like a searchlight, but she found no trace of Ningguang.
The confusion on her face became more and more obvious, while Su Chen just sat there, looking embarrassed, as if he had been caught in some secret.
Su Chen’s expression made Keqing feel a little uneasy, and she even began to wonder if her sudden appearance had disturbed something.
An uneasy thought came to her mind: "Could it be... this guy doesn't want to see me?"
Looking at Su Chen's extremely embarrassed appearance, Keqing's mind was full of doubts, and she couldn't help but start thinking about the possible reasons.
"Um... well, Ningguang just said she was hungry, so she went to the kitchen to get some noodles."
Su Chen answered while coughing, his hands tightly gripping the edge of the desk, trying to stay calm, fearing that Keqing would notice something was wrong.
"Um... Miss Keqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Chen tried his best to look relaxed, while secretly enduring the strange feeling under the table, and his gestures became unconsciously stiff.
"Mr. Suchen, I actually want to learn more about your world, especially about the way people rule. Why don't we sit on the sofa over here and discuss it in detail."
Keqing smiled and pointed to a luxurious sofa in the room, seeming to be very much looking forward to this conversation.
"No, no, I'm fine standing." Su Chen replied hastily, with an awkward smile on his face, "I just sat for too long, my waist is a little uncomfortable, stand for a while to relax."
He muttered in his heart: "How dare I sit on the sofa now? This is just asking for trouble!"
Are you touched that the noble Ningguang of Tianquan Star personally raised the bird for you? I dare not touch it at all!
Even though his legs were so numb that he could hardly feel them, Su Chen still didn't dare to move at all. There was a hint of forced calmness in his expression.
"By the way, I heard that you and Ningguang had something to discuss. Have you finished it?"
Keqing noticed that Su Chen had been standing, but she did not ask any further questions. Instead, she walked gracefully to the sofa and sat down gently.
"Well, that's over." Su Chen replied hurriedly, with a hint of urgency in his voice, "Let's get to the point."
At this time, Su Chen was already a little restless. This was not because he was so eager to discuss things with Keqing, but because the queen under the table had already started her "main topic".
Su Chen secretly complained in his heart: "If I don't hurry up, I may not be able to hold on any longer."
It’s not that Su Chen has become weak and can’t do it anymore, but Ningguang is a noble lady with great ventriloquism skills. She directly used a Rock Serpent Dragon Drill!
In addition, Keqing was facing him and asking him questions. Under this double stimulation, he had to deal with Keqing's questions at the same time and could not concentrate on dealing with the stimulation coming from below, so it was still very difficult.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Suchen to be so eager to discuss the issue of human rule with me in depth~ This is really beyond my expectation."
Keqing smiled slightly, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"In that case, I'll ask directly." There was a hint of curiosity in her tone, "Mr. Su Chen, can you share with me how you achieve human rule in your other world?"
As she spoke, Keqing took out a delicate little notebook from her handbag and stared at Su Chen seriously, ready to write down his every word at any time.
Her purple eyes sparkled with curiosity and thirst for knowledge, revealing an expression of thirst for knowledge.
Su Chen observed Keqing's expression full of curiosity and desire, and the tension in his heart couldn't help but increase a little.
He took a deep breath and prepared to answer Keqing's question in such a stimulating environment.
At the same time, Su Chen couldn't help but shout loudly in his heart: Hey, hey, hey! You purple-haired cat-eared girl, haven't I already taught you a lesson before? Why are you still so stupid?
Don't look at me with such pure eyes that are eager for knowledge! I'm afraid I can't help but pull Keqing over and play double-sided stir-fry with Ningguang!
………………
Chapter 306: Why is Lady Ningguang's mouth a little swollen? !
"Well, actually... huh..." Su Chen tried to steady his breathing, his face slightly flushed. He suppressed his inner excitement and tried to remain calm. "This kind of thing definitely requires a long process and cannot be achieved overnight."
He went on to explain: "You see, the reason why our world can achieve human rule is mainly because we only have human rule from the beginning. In our world, there are no gods or immortals, so the situation is a little different."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Take your neighbor Mond for example. It should be considered a country with relatively weak overall strength now, right?"
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange feeling coming from under the desk, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Su Chen muttered to himself: "It's hard enough to do two things at once, but I didn't expect the 'accelerator' under the table to start stepping on it again..."
His inner thoughts were filled with a wry smile: "I just mentioned Mond casually, but I didn't expect that this would trigger the mysterious switch of that rich lady?"
"Hmm? Mr. Su Chen, you look a little unwell. Do you need to take a rest?" Keqing looked at Su Chen with concern, stood up and walked towards him.
But as soon as she got closer, she felt something unusual. She froze for a moment, looked around, and asked, "Mr. Su Chen, did you hear any strange noises?"
As soon as Keqing finished speaking, she began to carefully look for the source of the sound. She walked closer to Su Chen and bent down to listen carefully: "Huh? Mr. Su Chen, it seems that this strange sound comes from you."
When Keqing walked up to Su Chen, she realized that the man in front of her had a red face and a strange expression, like a pregnant woman about to give birth.
"Oh... No, that's not the case." Su Chen managed to squeeze out a sentence, the veins on his face almost bursting, but he still tried his best to stay calm and said to Keqing, "Maybe you are too tired from work and you are hallucinating."
“But…” Keqing frowned and continued in confusion, “I did hear a sound, like the sound of stepping on slime.”
Su Chen looked nervous, with a forced smile on his lips, and his voice trembled slightly: "Ah, that... no, you may have heard it wrong." He hurriedly tried to change the subject, his tone revealing a hint of eagerness that was difficult to conceal, "Let's continue the discussion. You really have a good grasp of the details, but maybe you could take a break now?"
Keqing seemed unaware of Su Chen's hint, her focus still focused on the notebook in her hand.
Su Chen felt the pressure gradually increasing. He paused for a moment and asked uneasily, "Where was I just now?"
Deep down, he secretly blamed himself for being distracted. This situation of trying to do two things at once was really giving him a headache.
"Mond." Keqing's voice was as calm as water, her eyes still focused.
Su Chen quickly touched his face with both hands, trying to hide his nervousness.
But when he relaxed a little, he found Keqing staring at him as if he was a fool, which made him feel even more embarrassed.
He tried to suppress his inner anxiety, his eyes unconsciously drawn to Keqing's soft lips. He thought to himself: "Could it be that just mentioning Mondstadt could cause such a change?"
His hand subconsciously reached under the table, as if looking for some way to escape.
Throughout, Suchen tried his best to maintain outward composure, but his eyes and subtle facial expressions betrayed his true feelings.
In contrast, Keqing maintains her calm and focus, and the contrast between the two adds dramatic tension to the scene.
Su Chen, despite feeling the subtle movement under the table, continued his analysis professionally. He took a deep breath, as if trying to concentrate, and although his voice was slightly trembling, he tried his best to stay calm: "When it comes to Mondstadt's disadvantage, the key is that they lack the protection of the God of Wind." He tried to stabilize his voice, although it was not easy.
“So, the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss are like finding a soft persimmon and squeezing them at will.” Su Chen frowned, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. “And for the other countries, because of the existence of gods, the situation is completely different.” His gaze lingered on Keqing briefly, as if testing her reaction.
"Each of these countries possesses a god that is like the ultimate weapon." His eyes revealed his interest in the topic, and he continued, "This constitutes a delicate balance of power that maintains superficial peace."
"A god is like the core and shield of a country. Without such a shield, the country will be vulnerable to external intrusion." Su Chen's words revealed his profound insight into the world pattern.
When talking about the Ice Queen, Su Chen's expression became more serious: "If her goal is not only to rebel against the laws of nature, but also to unify the seven countries, it would not be surprising. It seems that she has been planning how to obtain the power of the gods of various countries."
Keqing couldn't help but interrupt, her tone revealing confusion: "Now that you put it that way, I'm a little confused. It feels like you support divine rule, but also seem to be leaning towards human rule."
Su Chen sorted out his thoughts and reiterated his point: "Indeed, Mondstadt's current weakness is largely due to the lack of the protection of the God of Wind."
"Therefore, the Fatui and the Abyss Cult attacked them. Due to the existence of gods, other countries seemed to have great power in their hands, thus maintaining a relative balance."
He paused for a moment and continued, "These gods are actually the core support of each country. Without strong protectors, the country will be easily attacked."
"The previous actions of the Ice Queen of the Kingdom of Winter seemed to be an attempt to obtain the power of the gods of several other countries in the continent of Teyvat one by one, so she wanted to seize the hearts of the gods of several countries."
At this moment, Su Chen even felt that it would not be surprising if the Ice Queen's ultimate ambition was not to defy the laws of nature but to unify the seven countries.
When talking about the Ice Queen's ambition, Su Chen's eyes flashed with deep thought: "Her goal seems to be to challenge other countries, but in fact it may be a bigger plot - to unify the seven countries."
Throughout the conversation, although Su Chen was bothered by the interruptions under the table, he still maintained the coherence of the topic and tried to use humor to ease the tense atmosphere.
Keqing, with her sharpness and concentration, constantly guided the conversation to a deeper level, making the discussion both profound and vivid.
However, what Keqing didn't know was that during this seemingly serious discussion, Ningguang had been hiding under the desk, diligently moving her blond hair up and down.
So during Keqing and Su Chen's serious discussion, the sound of stepping on slime would be heard from time to time.
Occasionally, there would be a sound of slimes swallowing food, which made Keqing wonder for a moment whether elemental creatures like slimes had also been generated somewhere in the Qun Yu Pavilion?
It shouldn't be like this. The sanitation and cleaning of the Qun Yu Pavilion can be said to be the most stringent in the entire Liyue Harbor. In addition to the daily cleaning maids, Bai Shi and the others will also check every corner of the Qun Yu Pavilion to ensure that the Qun Yu Pavilion is always kept clean.
However, because Su Chen's description was so wonderful, Keqing had no time to think about the slime's voice anymore.
After seeing that Keqing didn't notice, Ningguang became more and more bold.
As the subtle movements continued under the table, Suchen maintained his point with good humor.
He took a deep breath, as if preparing for a battle, adjusted his mood, and continued his story:
"Look at this world. We are full of gods here, and there is even a law of nature that is greater than gods. This is a world of great disparity in power. I agree that we cannot rely solely on the power of gods. We, the people of Liyue, must learn to be self-reliant."
There was a determined gleam in his eyes, as if emphasizing every word.
"But if the situation becomes as bad as it was in Kanria five hundred years ago, our godless Liyue might have to face the wrath of heaven."
Su Chen's tone was a little worried, and it seemed that he had been thinking deeply about this topic. "As for balancing the distance between divine rule and human rule, that is not something that people like me can figure out. My goal is not to challenge the laws of nature."
There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and he said to himself in his heart: "I dream of conquering every beauty in the continent of Teyvat and building a Teyvat harem!"
Keqing listened, her frown deepened, and she asked in confusion: "Why do you sound like you support divine rule, but also like you are leaning towards human rule?"
Su Chen shrugged, as if to hide his movements under the table, and said softly: "Take Mondstadt for example. Without gods in charge, they became targets of the Abyss Cult. In our world, without the constraints of gods, people fight for survival every day. The strong eat the weak, and then are preyed upon by the stronger ones."
"You might as well guess how many people die in war every year? Up to millions!"
Su Chen's voice was heavy. Keqing was stunned after hearing it. Millions of people, this number is almost a large part of Liyue's population!
When Keqing heard Su Chen mention the heavy casualties caused by the war in that world, her reaction was as if time had stopped. She opened her mouth and showed a look of shock.
The breath she exhaled gently carried the faint scent of glass lilies, which seemed to add a touch of softness to the heavy topic.
The movement under the table suddenly slowed down. Su Chen was a little displeased. He gently pushed the bottom of the table and muttered to himself, "How can I be distracted at such a critical moment?"
Keqing suddenly stood up, her whole demeanor changed, as if she had switched from puzzled mode to working mode. She said, "Let's go find Ningguang to discuss this matter in depth."
Keqing's eyes sparkled with interest in the discussion.
The more Su Chen thought about it, the more excited he felt, and the smile on his face became more and more cunning.
Keqing suddenly noticed that Su Chen's gaze involuntarily moved down and stared at her legs. She couldn't help feeling a little panic and instinctively clamped her legs together.
Keqing hesitated, but finally decided, "Then I'll go call Ningguang."
She walked towards the door in a slight panic and looked back at Su Chen before closing the door.
The expression on Su Chen's face at this moment looked like he was enduring a mixture of pain and pleasure. He was lying on the table, looking in a complicated condition.
Keqing leaned against the door and shook her head, feeling very confused about this strange man Su Chen.
Keqing turned around and walked slowly towards Ningguang's office. Her footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, with a hint of determination.
Just as she reached out to knock on the door, it opened unexpectedly.
Bai Shi was smiling at the moment as he walked out, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.
"Hey, Lady Keqing, are you here to look for Lady Ningguang? She just went to Lady Su Chen's office. You might as well look for her there."
Keqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She had just come out of Su Chen's office and was confused: How could Ningguang go there? She asked curiously, "Bai Shi, Ningguang is not in Su Chen's office. Did she tell you where she was going? You should be in control of her schedule, right?"
Bai Shi shook her head, looking bewildered: "I'm sorry, Lady Keqing, I'm not sure either. But she might have gone somewhere else after coming out of Su Chen's place." Then she added, "You just came out of Mr. Su Chen's office? Then I just happened to be sending him some stationery."
Keqing nodded and stood in front of Ningguang's office door, struggling internally as to whether she should go back to discuss the issue again.
