Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

reality.

Cheng Yan changed into a casual shirt and jeans. After taking a shower, the hot water made his lips rosy, and he looked like a college student.

"Eat something before you go."

Cheng Yan nodded. The table was filled with light foods of varying sweet and salty flavors. They all looked incredibly delicious, except for a burnt egg on the plate closest to him that looked out of place.

Cheng Yan picked up the egg with a fork and looked at it carefully.

"This is……"

Tang Ye's ears turned red for a moment, "The chef must have not paid attention to the heat. If you don't want to eat it, put it aside."

Cheng Yan didn't notice Tang Ye's reaction and swallowed the egg in three or two bites.

“It’s quite delicious.”

Tang Ye was surprised for a moment, then pushed the egg in front of him over.

"If you like it, eat this too."

Of the entire table of food, Cheng Yan only ate two slightly bitter eggs and forced himself to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge. He felt that his taste had become strange. He could not be considered picky about food before, but when faced with a table of food, he would never choose to eat burnt eggs and think they were delicious.

These little things did not attract Cheng Yan's attention. If he wanted to improve his relationship with Tang Ye, he had to take the initiative to find some topics.

"Um...you said before that the message I saw when I fell from the building was not the one you deleted. What's going on?"

Although he no longer cared about the answer to this question, it was better for their relationship to be clear than to be unclear.

"I had a secretary before. She knew about your relationship with me and she used my phone without my permission while I was in a meeting."

Listening to Tang Ye's explanation, Cheng Yan opened his eyes wide, "She knows about our... relationship?"

Tang Ye locked his eyes on him, "She thinks you are my bed partner."

……

Cheng Yan was speechless for a moment. Listening to these words now, he felt like he was listening to another person's story and could not apply it to himself at all.

"She overestimates me."

He had clearly tried to seduce her before but had never succeeded.

Noticing Cheng Yan's expression, Tang Ye leaned over and grabbed his hand.

"I have already fired her, Cheng Yan, do you know why I rejected you every time in the past?"

Cheng Yan pursed his lips, trying hard to control himself and look at Tang Ye.

"why?"

"Because then I felt that when you looked at me you were not looking at a person, but at a precious object, a ladder for you to climb up."

Cheng Yan's lips trembled and he was unable to respond.

"But it's different now. Now, you don't even see me in your eyes."

Tang Ye's gaze was full of oppression, making it difficult for Cheng Yan to breathe.

"But it doesn't matter, we'll get along again and you'll fall in love with me again."

A hand suddenly pressed on the back of his head, and Cheng Yan was forced to lean forward, his lips touching lips that smelled of tobacco.

"Ah!" Wendy stared at the picture on the screen with wide eyes and kicked the table leg in front of her angrily.

Dotore felt a green light above his head and stared at the screen with gritted teeth.

"Damn it, I can't stand it anymore. What method do you guys say you're going to use to bring him back?"

Zhongli took out a small hook with three claws from his arms, "This device can be used to capture souls, but there is a prerequisite. The soul must be out of the body when capturing, and this device has no storage function. If you want to bring Cheng Yan back, you need to prepare a body for him to live in."

The problem that seemed to be the most difficult to solve was not a problem at all for Dotore. It was even available in a certain slice he knew.

"It's just a matter of building a body. It's simple. I will never forget what each part of Cheng Yan's body looks like. Leave the body to me. Now I just need to... wait for him to die in this world."

It was just an assumption, but Dotore couldn't bear it. However, this was the only way to bring the person back to his side.

"Wait, look!"

Wendy suddenly spoke up, and the three of them turned their eyes to the screen.

Cheng Yan and Tang Ye had already got into a car. Just as they were heading for the road, a heavy truck came rushing towards them. The truck driver was a woman with messy hair. Only her crazy face and twisted smile were reflected on the screen.

"Go to hell, pretty boy! You destroyed everything I worked so hard to earn. Why does Tang Ye care about you so much?"

"boom--"

The screen suddenly went dark, and the three people in the room, Dotore, had their hearts pounding.

“On the verge of death… on the verge of death! Now, now is the chance to bring Cheng Yan back!”

Dotore raised his voice and almost shook Zhongli's shoulders to let him capture Cheng Yan's soul.

Wendy bit her lip hard, "We are in such a hurry. What should we do with our bodies? Besides, we are only here temporarily. If we are discovered, we can't even protect ourselves, not to mention Yanyan!"

"Humph, what do you think the people of Teyvat have done to endure this for so long? Just bring Cheng Yan back, and I'll take care of the rest."

Raising his hand, he pressed a few buttons on the communication device on his chest, and said only two short words, "Do it."

As for the body... the communication device flashed again, and Dotole pressed the connected device and said, "No. 6, send your hidden body to the top floor now."

There was silence for a moment, and then a voice very similar to Dotore's was heard.

"What body?"

Dotole narrowed his eyes. No. 6 was a slice in the state when he had just separated from Cheng Yan from the Teaching Order Institute. His emotions were extremely paranoid and unstable. In order to vent these emotions, this slice made several bodies of Cheng Yan in different states, powered by energy. If it were not for the lack of a soul, it would look like Cheng Yan himself.

Not wanting to waste time arguing about his own slices, Dotore got straight to the point.

"Cheng Yan's soul is about to be captured, and the body you made will come in handy."

The silence on the other end was gone, and Dotore could even hear his heavy breathing.

"understood."

The physical problem was solved, and Zhongli inserted the soul-extracting device into a special port on the console. However, as soon as it was inserted, the alarm went off in the house.

"Alert! Alert! Illegal operation! Suspicious person spotted!"

The sound of mechanical electronics spread throughout the entire floor. Dotore frowned, picked up the weapon placed aside, and spoke to Wendy.

"You watch him operate, I'll go and buy time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of fighting outside. Dotore pushed the door open and saw Dartaglia and Sandoni with bombs all over their bodies and several guns on their backs.

Tartaglia quickly threw out a light bomb, blowing away a group of guards before he found time to raise an eyebrow at Dotore.

"Before Cheng Yan left, I was a little rude to him because of the mission. Now it's time for me to redeem our brotherhood. Remember to say good things for me."

Sandoni kicked the guard who was rushing towards him away, distractedly looked downstairs and shouted.

"Little Nine, dear child, come here quickly, I will protect you!"

Xiaojiu raised his head and looked up at the building. His small body was indestructible. He could throw a guard away with one throw at the height of his thigh.

When Teyvat was first occupied, all its powers were weakened, so Xiaojiu hibernated for a long time. Now this is...

"The power of Teyvat has returned?"

Sandonie curled his lips, "Humph, do you think Teyvat is just an isolated plane? We are in Teyvat. They are arrogant and invite wolves into the house. Don't blame us for destroying their lair... Hey, Xiaojiu is great! Auntie saw it! Come on, let's rescue the master together!"

The main building of the Space-Time Administration is towering into the clouds. This luxurious building has absorbed the backbone forces of various countries in Teyvat, including Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Xumi, Fontainebleau, Natta, and Solstice.

Devouring other people's homes and expecting the indigenous people to work hard for them will eventually backfire.

Fights took place on every floor of the building. All the people Cheng Yan met in Teyvat now had a common goal: defeat the guards of the Space-Time Administration and head to the highest floor! Bring their families back!
