Genshin Impact: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable-Chapter 428: This Trainee Fatui Harbinger is Too Unreliable [] [100 PS]

Late at night in Palais Mermonia, the spacious, luxurious bed had been divided by a pillow barrier.

On the left side, Furina hugged a pillow tightly, her back to the barrier, tension etched on her face.

On the right side, Luo Qing lay with his head propped up on one hand, a playful grin spreading across his face as he watched Furina's back.

"Hey..."

Luo Qing broke the silence, his tone casual. "Why are you still facing away from me?"

"Why do you think?!"

Furina huffed in irritation. "When did I ever agree to let you sleep in my bed?!"

In all her life, she'd never met anyone as shameless as Luo Qing.

He had barged into her bed without warning, startled her half to death, and then blatantly declared he was staying over—without leaving her any room to argue.

And to top it all off, he'd threatened her!

But what was worse, he had an uncanny ability to keep her perpetually on edge, never crossing the line but always pulling her closer to it.

"So, what anime are we watching tonight?"

Luo Qing reached his hand over the makeshift pillow barrier, poking the soft flesh on Furina's shoulder.

The unexpected touch sent a wave of goosebumps down her spine.

She instinctively scooted further away, putting more distance between them.

"Why would you care what I watch?!" Furina snapped. "Tomorrow morning, you'd better get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

If Luo Qing had tried to sweet-talk her—even just a little—she might have relented and let him stay without a fuss.

She might have even removed the pillow barrier.

But ever since he showed up today, everything out of his mouth had been infuriating.

The fact that she hadn't already called Neuvillette to have him arrested was an act of mercy!

"Eh?" Luo Qing feigned confusion. "Did I ever say I was leaving tomorrow?"

"What?!"

Furina's head whipped around, her expression one of pure shock.

She had assumed he was only staying for one night.

"If you're not leaving tomorrow, then what are you planning?!"

"To keep you company, of course~," Luo Qing replied with a grin.

"..."

Furina was speechless. She had never encountered anyone with such audacious shamelessness.

After a deep breath, she said coldly, "Do I look like I need your company?! If you want to play babysitter so badly, why not go home to your wives?!"

"Ah..." Luo Qing tilted his head, pretending to be puzzled. Then, with a mock bashful expression, he teased, "Furina, are you confessing to me right now?"

"Are you deaf?! That's not what I—"

Furina started to retort but stopped herself when she noticed his mischievous smirk.

Realization dawned: she was being teased.

Her cheeks flushed red, her toes curled in embarrassment, and her gaze darted around the room.

But the flare of her temper quickly reignited.

How dare he tease the Hydro Archon?!

"Luo Qing!"

Furina shot to her feet, pointing a trembling finger at him, her voice quaking with frustration.

"Do you have to provoke me to survive?!"

Luo Qing's grin faded as he adopted a more serious tone.

"If provoking you was the only way I could stay alive," he asked solemnly, "would you let me?"

"I..."

Furina faltered, caught off guard by the sudden shift in tone.

How had he turned the tables on her so quickly again?

Flustered, she snapped, "Hmph! Why don't you die first and then ask me?!"

"Ah, such a disappointing answer," Luo Qing sighed theatrically, lying back on the bed with his arms crossed behind his head.

"Alright, no more games. You watch whatever you want—I'm going to sleep."

True to his word, he closed his eyes and said nothing more, giving every appearance of falling asleep.

Now it was Furina's turn to feel disoriented.

Did I say something too harsh?

Wait... why does it matter if he's upset?!

Why am I even worrying about this?

"Hmph... fine, go ahead and sleep."

Muttering to herself, Furina turned her back on him again, scrolling through the Void Terminal in search of an anime to binge-watch.

"Let's see... Akame ga Kill looks interesting," she mused, settling into a more comfortable position against the pillow barrier.

As the show played, Furina curled up with her knees tucked under her chin, periodically muttering commentary at the screen.

"This is ridiculous! If it were me, I'd just sentence them all to death on the spot!"

Her impassioned commentary continued for a few episodes until fatigue began to creep in.

Yawning, she glanced over the barrier at Luo Qing.

Seeing that he was fast asleep, she finally let her guard down.

Setting aside the Void Terminal, Furina closed her eyes and drifted off.

Birdsong filtered through the windows as the warm sunlight spilled onto the bed.

Furina stirred, groggily rubbing her eyes.

But as she moved, she felt something unusual—a warm sensation against her back and an arm wrapped snugly around her waist.

Her sleep-addled mind took a moment to process. When she looked down, she realized that beneath her loose silk sleepwear, a hand had slipped in, resting on her waist.

And it wasn't just on her waist—it had crept slightly upwards, dangerously close to...

"..."

"?!?!"

Her eyes shot open as she twisted around to find Luo Qing asleep beside her, holding her tightly.

"Luo Qing! Let go of me right now!" Furina shrieked, struggling to pry his arm away.

But no matter how hard she tried, his grip remained firm, his strength even in sleep far exceeding her expectations.

"This guy... even asleep, he's this strong?!"

Furina gritted her teeth and elbowed him in the stomach, hoping to wake him.

Yet despite her best efforts, Luo Qing remained as unyielding as a rock.

"..."

Just as she was about to give up, Luo Qing mumbled in his sleep.

Furina's eyes lit up with hope.

Is he waking up?

But the next moment, his arm tightened around her, pulling her even closer into his chest.

Now their entire bodies were pressed together—not just her back against his chest, but her legs and hips were entwined with his.

His hand even ventured slightly higher, eliciting a shiver that ran down her spine like an electric shock.

Before she could react, Luo Qing buried his face in the crook of her neck and murmured tenderly,

"Stop playing around, honey... let's sleep..."

"?!"

Furina's brain short-circuited, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson.

What is he saying?!

Her breath quickened as her thoughts spiraled out of control.

Is he awake and pretending to sleep... or is this what he really thinks in his dreams?

Could it be that, deep down, he actually—

Before she could finish the thought, Luo Qing's voice interrupted her again, this time mumbling dreamily,

"Honey... I want snuggles..."

And then his hand began to slide downward, slipping toward the waistband of her sleepwear.

"?!?!"
