Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Chen Xi's military overcoat stood out conspicuously from its surroundings.

"I'll take you to change your clothes."

"Ah good."

The two entered the changing room, and the "scholar" conjured up an executive officer's uniform.

Chen Xi was surprised. Could it be someone from the same hometown? He decided to try, clearing his throat first: "Ahem, is this a case of 'mountains and rivers blocking the way, seemingly with no way out'?"

Seeing that the "scholar" did not respond, he then asked, "Odd changes, even remains the same?"

The scholar, preoccupied with something, didn't hear: "What?"

Chen Xi looked at him expectantly: "Can you finish the sentence? 'The mountains and rivers seem to block the way,'"

However, his answer was disappointing: "No."

So we're not from the same hometown after all... Oh right, the Eye of God, I completely forgot that the Eye of God can also store items.

The uniform was handed to Chen Xi: "Try on the clothes first."

"Oh……"

Chen Xi took off his military overcoat and put on the uniform.

It must be said that the Empress of the East has a reassuring sense of style. A wide white uniform cloak draped over him, the black velvet on the collar contrasting sharply with the white cloak…

Drinking is an indispensable part of any banquet.

Chen Xi: "Do you drink alcohol?"

D'Artagnan: "As an executive officer, there are many occasions where drinking is required, of course."

Chen Xi: "Drink with me. I remember they used to not let me drink, saying it would affect my IQ. Now that they're not here, I can finally drink to my heart's content."

D'Artagnan looked at his still-childish face, then at the wine glass: "But you are underage."

Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed; age was a big issue: "...I'll be an adult soon."

D'Artagnan: "[Doctor] isn't going to take care of you?"

Chen Xi looked at the "scholar": "I don't know, but he should let me drink... just this once, okay?"

"Scholar": "Ahem, this is a one-time exception."

Chen Xi: "You're so kind!"

"Cheers! Cheers!" D'Artagnan raised his glass and clinked it against Chen Xi's, spilling drinks into each other's glasses. (The implication was roughly that if their drinks were poisoned, they would die together—very humane.)

Chen Xi downed it in one gulp. It was quite strong; the liquor slid down his throat and into his stomach. (The alcohol reacted with hydrochloric acid to produce…scratch that, it doesn't seem to react.) It stung his throat, a burning sensation. In Zhidong, this was considered low in alcohol content. (Zhidong…Tsarist Russia, those who know, know.)

……

Those who wanted to win over Chen Xi took the opportunity to offer him a drink when they saw that he had a good relationship with D'Artagnan. Chen Xi was shy and embarrassed to refuse, so he drank all the drinks offered to him, and his whole body reeked of alcohol.

Can you tell me why this liquor has such a high alcohol content? I'm feeling a bit dizzy.

Chen Xi tried to alleviate the effects of the alcohol by eating, but it didn't work well, and she still felt dizzy.

Several more nobles and officers came to offer him a toast, and Chen Xi accepted them all, drinking all the wine until he became somewhat disoriented.

Subconsciously, he sought help from the "scholar," who was discussing funding with Pantalone.

Pantalone: ​​"I remember you just applied a few days ago."

"Scholar": "As you know, experiments are subject to chance, and accidents are inevitable."

Pantalone: ​​"The same excuse again."

The scholar continued, "This is an uncontrollable factor, and I cannot intervene."

Pantalone: ​​"Okay, use it sparingly. It won't be so easy to ask me for help next time."

Scholar: "Of course."

Pantalone handed over the check, and the "scholar" took it and turned to leave without a second thought, proving he was only interested in the experiment.

After vomiting in the bathroom for a while, Chen Xi rinsed her mouth and bumped into the "scholar" who was coming towards her.

"Tsk, that really hurts." Chen Xi rubbed her forehead, which had bumped into his muscle.

The "scholar" bent down and looked at him: "Can I take this as an attempt to seduce him?"

Chen Xi was a little confused: "Huh? What brings you here?"

The "scholar" lifted his chin: "Let's see if my lovely experimental subject has been fooled by those people's nonsense."

Chen Xi leaned against him and said, "Yeah, I'm dizzy."

The "scholar" placed his hand on Chen Xi's head and stroked it as if petting a kitten or puppy: "We can't go back for now; the matter isn't finished yet."

Chen Xi: "I think I've been drugged."

The scholar seemed to have heard something interesting: "Oh? What medicine?"

Chen Xi nuzzled against him: "I don't know, my head is spinning."

"Scholar": "I know what it is."

Chen Xi: "What?"

The scholar's answer piqued the curiosity: "Bad medicine."

That's like saying nothing at all; I hate riddle-makers.

Chen Xi: "...I'll just keep drinking, I won't die anyway."

"Scholar": "Suit yourself. I'd like to see what you'll do when you're drunk."

……

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens people, and after a few more drinks, Chen Xi got a little tipsy.

He led the "scholar" by the hand to the center of the hotel. Curiosity drove them closer, as they had never seen an executive so close to [the Doctor]. (Pantarone doesn't count, because [the Doctor] only befriended her because he needed funds.)

Chen Xi raised his voice: "There's nothing to do for entertainment in the army, so I'll entertain you all with a sword dance!"

The "scholar" was also curious about how he would wield the sword, so he did not stop him.

Those around Chen Xi gave her plenty of space, fearing they might accidentally get hurt.

Chen Xi took out a sword from his system inventory and began to wield it.

The sword moved like a white snake spitting its tongue, hissing as it cut through the wind; it was also like a dragon weaving through the air, moving freely around the body. Sometimes it was as light as a swallow, rising up with a swing of the sword; other times it was as swift as lightning, causing fallen leaves to scatter.

The sword danced faster and faster, like a silver dragon soaring and swirling around him.

Although he was drunk, his body was light and agile, his posture was graceful, his movements were strong, and his sword strikes were fast. Even the afterimage left by the remaining sword intent was enough to make people feel a sense of killing intent.

……

The officers and nobles in the army had never seen such a sword dance before. In addition, Chen Xi was performing it entirely in the style of the ancient China, which was hard to fathom. Therefore, they thought that their own level was not high enough, so they decisively encouraged and praised Chen Xi. After all, he was strong, and the Eastern Kingdom admired the strong.

Chen Xi sheathed his sword, walked straight to the "scholar," and removed his mask. This was the first time he, as a "doctor," had shown his full face in this setting.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi's subsequent actions were even bolder. He told the "scholar" to lower his head and kissed him directly. The entire room fell silent instantly. Although everyone knew the relationship between [Wanderer] and [Doctor], they did not expect [Wanderer] to be so bold. This was explosive news, and it would undoubtedly reach the Queen of the East.

The "scholar" realized what was happening and grabbed Chen Xi in a hug. The lingering smell of alcohol on him, combined with the lingering scent of ink, was intoxicating.

"Something came up in the lab, so I'll take him with me."

Pantalone maintained his professional fake smile: "Okay." It seems he's in for trouble again.

(To make up for it, I risked my life to write this for everyone. Have you been waiting for this for a long time? I just let loose. The author's mental state has always been like this, so it's not surprising that I occasionally go crazy.)

(I went to Qufu to pay homage to Confucius a few days ago. I wore Hanfu for a while, performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and practiced calligraphy. The total cost of accommodation, meals, and transportation in Linyi and Qufu was about 490 yuan, which seemed reasonable. The food was quite good, and the scenery was beautiful, especially the Confucius site. Everything was for the purpose of studying, collecting books, and earning academic credits.)

(Our homeroom teacher said that this might be needed when we get accepted into university, so most of our class paid 490 yuan to participate in the study tour. It's just a pity that we don't have computers, so I can't post a picture of the photos I took.)

At this point, Chen Xi was already out of her mind and kept snuggling into the "scholar's" arms.

"Scholar": "Do you know what you did there?"

Chen Xi, her eyes unfocused, tugged at his clothes: "Scholar..." She felt uncomfortable.

The scholar closed and locked the door: "It seems he's out of his mind. He'll forget everything after a good night's sleep."

He cornered Chen Xi, and although he was smiling, his red eyes made him look extremely dangerous and sinister.

"What should I do with you?"

Chen Xi instinctively tried to avoid the danger, but there was a wall behind him and he had nowhere to retreat. The "scholar" held his shoulders tightly with both hands, lowered his head slightly, and kissed his cheek.

"Now the debt is paid off."

"Cold..." Chen Xi disregarded the danger and crawled under his cloak to keep warm.

"Hmm? The person who administered this drug is truly malicious, trying to harm a child. It seems we should clean house."

The "scholar" withdrew its scrutinizing gaze and comforted Chen Xi like an older brother next door. It lit the stove, carried him to the bed, covered him with a blanket to keep him warm. The "scholar" itself has a body temperature and can regulate the temperature, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. It is a human-shaped air conditioner, a must-have for home and travel.

"It's not cold anymore, it's not cold anymore..." This was the first time he, as a fragment created by the original Dotore, had taken care of someone else.

……

Chen Xi held his arm tightly: "Scholar...I don't want you to die..."

"I won't die, silly child..." Homunculi can be repaired.

"I really like you... Don't go..."

"I won't go, I won't go."

"I liked you before, but they thought I was abnormal... a heretic..."

"I'm a heretic too..." Turns out we're the same...

...The "scholar" communicated with Chen Xi, who was talking in his sleep, without any problems, until Chen Xi woke up.

Imagine waking up to find yourself with someone else beside you: "Scholar?! You... what are you doing here?"

"Scholar": "Didn't you say last night that I'd have nightmares without you?"

Chen Xi had no recollection of what she had said, let alone that it was sleep talking: "Huh? Did I say anything?"

The scholar didn't say (same as "please"): "You said you liked me, but you've already forgotten?"

Chen Xi looked completely bewildered: "What did I do last night?"

"The scholar": "He performed a sword dance at the banquet, then kissed me in a disrespectful manner, said he liked me, and has been sleeping with my arm in his arms ever since."

Chen Xi felt it was all unbelievable; she was still alive: "Really?"

The scholar nodded: "Really."

Chen Xi: "You...you're not thinking of getting revenge on me, are you?"

Scholar: "Yes, but I'm not a good person."

Chen Xi closed her eyes: "Hit me gently..."

However, the imagined punishment did not come; instead, an unexpected reward arrived.

"Don't you like me?" He looked at Chen Xi with a smirk. "Come on, drink this." He shook the test tube containing the clear red liquid.

Chen Xi: "What is it?"

The scholar replied, "Medicine."

Chen Xi felt the color was off; it looked particularly dangerous. She handed it back to him, saying, "Hearing your words is like hearing a wise man's words. It's not poisonous, is it?"

The scholar's smile froze: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Chen Xi: "I don't believe you unless you drink it first."

"it is good."

The "scholar" took the test tube and drank a sip. Chen Xi waited for an hour and, seeing no abnormalities, drank it all in one gulp. It had no taste, just like water. In addition, she felt a warm current flowing through her body.

Are you afraid I'll harm you?

Chen Xi immediately killed the conversation: "Yes."

"..."

"There are still three days left, aren't you going to check on your men?"

Chen Xi thought about what he might do: "You didn't do any experiments on them, did you?"

"...some health-enhancing medicines were sent to them in your name."

The "scholar" stroked Chen Xi's face and hugged her for a while. The faint smell of medicine on his body did not bother Chen Xi.

"I hope you're not lying to me."

"Of course I wouldn't lie to you, nor would I stoop to lying to you." You seem to have become suspicious; is it the effect of the drug?

"Well, you'd better not touch them. The experiment... let me handle it." If you dare touch them, I'll tear down your lab and make a scene at the Eastern Queen's place.

"That's rare indeed, but is that really the kind of person you think I am?" They are your weakness, I guessed right, but I won't touch them for now.

Chen Xi fiddled with his earring: "A person who will do anything for an experiment. Lead the way."

The "scholar" draped the uniform over his shoulders and buttoned it up: "You're not dressed properly, and you're going to see them like this?"

"...Now that you're dressed, let's go."

---------------

You are too clean; you shouldn't grow here—in this dark organization, you will be tainted by us.

"The distance is too far, and walking is too slow. Let's just fly on our swords! Sword, come!"

A greatsword pierced through the clouds and crashed straight to the ground, creating a small crater and kicking up dust.

"Rise—" Chen Xi released green wind elemental power to envelop the sword, causing it to levitate only a few centimeters above the ground.

"Come on up, it might be a bit fast, don't fall." Chen Xi reached out and pulled the "scholar" up.

"Ah."

Chen Xi made a sword incantation with his right hand, infusing more wind elemental power into the sword. The greatsword carried the two of them forward at high speed, arriving at the camp in about five minutes.

The two got out of the car (crossed out), and got off the greatsword. The "scholar" patted Chen Xi's clothes, which were covered in dust.

"Cough cough cough, the wind is really strong, cough cough cough..." Chen Xi coughed repeatedly, choked by the wind.

"Don't go so fast next time, it's very windy and dusty on the road."

"Ahem—I know, why are you just as talkative as her?"

"Who?"

"I... I can't remember clearly. It should be a friend I was close to there before."
