Dotore from Genshin Impact is my teacher

Kong declined Chen Xi's offer: "Not for the time being."

Chen Xi remained unmoved; it was as expected that the righteous "protagonist" would not side with darkness.

Chen Xi didn't know if she was the "protagonist." If she was, she thought many people would like her.

I am not worthy of him. Few people would like me. Even [Doctor] Dottore is only interested in me because I am from another world. It's like finding a white-haired mouse among a group of black-haired mice in an experiment. He just wants to study it.

The scholar's words were hard to explain. Although he was kind to her, she didn't know if he was sincere. She really liked him, and she would feel inexplicably anxious when he wasn't around. She never thought she would like a villain she used to hate.

He might just be using me and then discarding me.

……

Chen Xi's actions have altered the plot and accelerated the pace. Whether those outside Teyvat can change the outcome remains to be seen.

Seeing that Chen Xi's eyes were unfocused, Paimon called out, "Traveler? Traveller? Can't you hear us?"

Chen Xi felt her consciousness gradually blurring, her body becoming uncontrollable, and she was completely leaning against the "scholar." She felt dizzy and her body temperature soared to 39 degrees Celsius.

The "scholar" took out a scalpel and made a cut on his fingertip. Blood gushed out, and Chen Xi regained consciousness. The pain from the cut was still there. He switched to ice element to temporarily freeze the wound and relieve the pain. Anyway, with the "scholar" there, he would help him.

Chen Xi rubbed her forehead: "What happened to me just now?"

Empty: "I don't know."

Chen Xi felt her consciousness starting to blur again: "You can leave if you want. Thomas is probably still waiting for you outside. I won't force you to stay."

Paimon: "How did this guy know?"

Chen Xi: "...Perception ability, I can sense even the slightest movement within a 100-meter radius."

Seeing that Paimon still wanted to ask questions, and knowing that his health was deteriorating, he directly ordered them to leave: "Get out of here now, while I'm in a good mood, or I'll bury you here forever."

Paimon: "Huh, he's so weak but still spouting tough talk."

"Let's go quickly." Sora pulled Paimon, who was floating in the air, and quickly left the scene. Apart from Manyo's friend, everyone else also left one after another.

The "scholar" carried Chen Xi back to the main tent. Chen Xi was almost paralyzed in the "scholar's" arms, feeling weak all over, with a burning forehead and a flushed face.

The "scholar" touched his forehead with his hand, and could feel the heat even through his gloves.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to wear more layers? You're only wearing one layer underneath?"

Chen Xi was already out of his mind and couldn't hear what he was saying at all; his head felt like it was filled with lead.

Upon seeing this, the "scholar" placed him on the bed, prepared a towel that had been soaked in water, wrung out some of the water, folded it into a square, and placed it on Chen Xi's forehead to cool him down.

Chen Xi slept and woke up repeatedly, feeling extremely uncomfortable from being sick. He kept clutching the "scholar's" sleeve, just like when they first met.

……

"You're here? I thought you left." Chen Xi tried to get out of bed, but the "scholar" pressed her back down, saying with concern, "If you're sick, just stay in bed. I'll take care of you. As for other things, your subordinates can handle them. You don't need to do anything yourself. And if things get really bad, I'll be here..."

Chen Xi felt a warm glow in her heart and pulled him to the bed to lean against her: "Hmm, I feel like you're almost my dad."

The scholar's perverse sense of humor was aroused: "Little kid, try calling me 'Dad'?"

"Get lost! You think you can take advantage of me? No way!"

Chen Xi was clearly enraged by him, and punched him with his right fist. The "scholar" didn't even dodge, and his fist landed solidly on Chen Xi's chest.

But Chen Xi was worried that he might get hurt. Seeing his nonchalant demeanor, she assumed he was alright and questioned, "Why didn't you dodge?"

"Scholar": "There's no need. If you want to fight, wait until you've recovered. This is too light." Are you worried about me?

Chen Xi felt that her worries were unnecessary: ​​"..." So it was impossible to cause any harm at all, you were too lazy to hide, making me worry for nothing. But thinking about it, the quality of the slices shouldn't be that bad.

Hmm... I feel like I've forgotten something. My mind is blank. What did I forget? I can't remember.

The "scholar" grasped his hand, applied ointment to his cut fingertip, and bandaged it. The "scholar's" movements were very gentle, as if afraid of hurting Chen Xi, and his technique was skilled. Chen Xi's eyes were fixed on the "scholar's" actions. After tidying up his things, the "scholar" sat down by the bed to keep Chen Xi company.

"It's bandaged up."

"Look at me, scholar!"

Before the "scholar" could react, Chen Xi pounced on him and pinned him down. The "scholar" instinctively grabbed him, almost falling off, and scolded, "You dare to pounce on me before you're even fully recovered? You've got some nerve."

His hand, however, honestly stroked Chen Xi's head, quite satisfied with this experimental subject. He even willingly threw himself at him; as for what would happen in the future…

Chen Xi looked at him with pleading eyes: "Scholar...can I touch it?"

The "scholar" thought he wanted to touch the strange and wonderful things he had invented: "Touch what? Those things are too dangerous. You can't touch them randomly, or you'll get hurt."

Chen Xi quickly understood what he meant: "I wasn't talking about your potions and mechanical creations. I wouldn't dare touch them; who knows if it would be dangerous? I just wanted to touch your...waist." Chen Xi's face and ears turned bright red as she finished speaking. Was she being shameless? What normal person would agree to that?

However, this "scholar" was not a normal person, and he quickly agreed to Chen Xi's request.

He took off his coat, leaving only a shirt on. A restrictive choker encircled his neck and shirt, revealing taut muscles that radiated a musty aura. His hands were still unbuttoning the shirt when Chen Xi, one hand covering his bleeding nose, stopped him with the other. (He really can't keep going like this.)

"What's wrong with the child?"

Chen Xi blatantly lied: "I...I'm feeling a bit feverish. The climate in Inazuma is dry, and I'm not used to it here." I think I misspoke; it rains almost every few days! What dry climate? What am I even talking about?

The "scholar" naturally knew why he had a nosebleed, and deliberately asked him, "Oh, is that so? So, are you still going to touch it or not?"

Chen Xi tore off a piece of paper she had taken from the system, rolled it up, and stuffed it into the mess of her nosebleed.

"Touch, the scholar brother is the best!"

"Hehehe, give me your hand."

The "scholar" extended his palm and asked Chen Xi to place her hand on it. Chen Xi obediently did so and felt the warmth transmitted from the palm, which also raised the temperature of her hand.

He took Chen Xi's hand and placed it on his waist. Chen Xi tentatively touched it, but it wasn't as soft as her own. She then wrapped her arms around it, but it wasn't as slender as Kong Ge's. She was a little disappointed...
