Genshin Impact: My confession was rejected, so I traveled to seven countries

Bu Lu Nei

Su Mo looked at Ke Qing with a gloomy face, and felt a little complicated.

How should I put it? He felt that his feelings towards Keqing were a mixture of love and hate, helpless and distressed.

Looking at Keqing's sickly face, Su Mo couldn't help but recall the conversation he had just had with Ningguang on the street.

"What? Don't you really like Keqing? If so, why are you acting like this now? Do you know how much Keqing has sacrificed for you when you were away?"

"Hmm?" Su Mo was a little confused.

Didn't Keqing reject him in the beginning? Why is Ningguang now saying that Keqing has sacrificed a lot for her?

Su Mo took the initiative to break his silence.

"Sister Xiyue, what are you talking about? Keqing has done so much for me."

Ningguang rolled her eyes.

"Haha, you're already mad after just one confession and you're completely ignoring us all for your own trip, right?"

"Do you know that in order to keep your position as Tianshu Star, Keqing first openly requested the Emperor's approval during the Immortal Ceremony. Then she worked day and night to hold two positions at the same time. All this was to wait for you to come back so that she could keep your position. And what about you?"

"It would be fine if you didn't go to see him after you came back. But then you brought that senior sister back here and deliberately hurt her heart. Su, ah Su, you have such a cruel heart!"

hiss!

Su Mo doesn't want to bear this bad reputation.

Su Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "Wait, wait a minute, Sister Xiyue, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand? What do you mean Keqing worked so hard to keep my position? Also, what do you mean I deliberately hurt her heart by saying that Senior Sister came back?"

Ningguang sneered, "You're having a great time traveling. Leave all the behind-the-scenes work to us. After you left, the great families saw the position of Tianshu Star was vacant and tried to fill it with their own people. Keqing, thinking it was your position, wanted to help you keep it, so she openly petitioned the Emperor at the Invitation to the Immortal Ceremony. He asked her to take on both positions until a suitable successor to Tianshu Star was found. Then, for the past few months, she has been working tirelessly, waiting for your return. And what about you? What have you done?"

Su Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He really wanted to relax because of the temporary frustration of his confession. As for these things, he really didn't think too much about it.

But then Su Mo reacted quickly.

"This is about the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, so what does this have to do with my Senior Sister?"

Ningguang said helplessly, "According to my informant, Keqing simply went to Wanmingtang tonight to eat some golden shrimp balls. Then she went to your house, saw your senior sister, and then became so angry and sad that she fainted."

This made Su Mo even more confused. Ningguang had said that Keqing had seen Shen He and fainted from excessive grief. However, although Shen He's martial arts skills were indeed a bit absurd, it wasn't enough to cause Keqing excessive grief.

Could it be that Shen He did something to Keqing?

Su Mo shook his head. "Sister Xiyue, I still don't understand what you mean. Keqing worked overtime for me for several months, and then she saw my senior sister and fainted from excessive grief? Why was she sad?"

Ningguang frowned slightly: "Su Mo, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"

"what do you know?"

"Actually, Keqing likes you too."

"what!?"

Su Mo was a little surprised by this.

When he first confessed his feelings, it was Keqing who rejected him and told him to stay away from her, and he listened to her. But now Ningguang told him that Keqing was interested in him too!?

"How is this possible!?" Su Mo exclaimed.

"She rejected me when I confessed my love to her, and she also told me not to disturb her life anymore. Now you tell me that she likes me? Sister Xiyue, you are not kidding, right?" Su Mo looked at Ningguang in disbelief, as if he wanted to confirm the answer to the question.

Hearing this, Ningguang couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm not kidding. Keqing likes you, too. That's why she risked such a huge offense to openly ask the Emperor for help. And it's precisely because of her love for you that she felt so overwhelmed when she saw your senior sister at home."

"So, if she has feelings for me, why did she reject me in the first place? And why did she even say such heartless words as not letting me get close to her?"

Ningguang seemed to have a headache.

"She rejected you because her family wouldn't approve of you two being together. She was also afraid her family would use you."

Admittedly, the reason behind this is a bit of a headache for Ningguang.

Two people like each other. Why can't they talk about everything? Why do they have to endure it all alone?

"Family?" Su Mo was a little confused.

"It's obvious that I like Keqing, but what does this have to do with his family?"

Ningguang shook her head slightly. "Su Mo, I don't know if you're truly foolish or just pretending. Do you think Keqing's family wouldn't be concerned about her current position on Yuheng Star? At this stage, Keqing's fate might not even be decided by her."

Hearing this, Su Mo immediately reacted.

Yes, Keqing was the eldest daughter of her family, and he was now in the position of Yuxingxing. Of course, his family would try to arrange a political marriage to increase their influence. And Su Mo, an orphan with no one to rely on, knew that even if Keqing agreed, there was no way his family would let it go. Thinking of this, Su Mo couldn't help but feel more open-minded. Perhaps he and Keqing were just not meant to be.

Ningguang seemed to see Su Mo's worry and said reassuringly, "Actually, there's still hope for you and Keqing."

Ok?

Ning Guang sighed at Su Mo's puzzled expression and continued, "Her family is taking advantage of the relationship between you two. Since you're interested in the Tianshu Star position, they've helped you become one, so they can achieve their goal of having two stars in one family. In other words, as long as you continue to hold the position of Tianshu Star, there's still hope for you two."

Su Mo's face was a little complicated when he heard this. He originally thought that it was your own ability that made you become Tianshu Star, but he didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns behind it.

It's like you finally got a good job.

You think you are good enough and work hard enough.

Then one day you suddenly realize that this job is used by others to exploit you to achieve their own goals.

This feeling is very complicated and uncomfortable. All my efforts have been negated.

But after the low mood, Su Mo quickly reacted. It was impossible for the Seven Stars to dominate alone. Even with the support of Keqing's family, how could he stand out and become a Tianshu Star?

Just when he was puzzled, his eyes suddenly looked at Ningguang in front of him.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Sister Xiyue, for me to become a Heavenly Book Star, relying solely on Keqing's family is far from enough. Unless..."

As he said this, he looked Ningguang up and down.

"Could it be that you were involved as well?"

Faced with Su Mo's question, Ningguang nodded helplessly in agreement.

"Yes, I discovered that Keqing's family was supporting you, so I also helped you in secret. After all, the family behind Keqing is the main force, and I just casually intervened."

"why?"

Ningguang looked at Su Mo for a long time and sighed.

"Why? Why else could it be? Silly boy, after all, you are my brother. Since you intend to do that, shouldn't I, as your sister, support you?"

After hearing this, Su Mo felt helpless and a little funny, which eventually turned into a face full of guilt.

He couldn't imagine that Ningguang would still remember the affection they had for each other and continue to help him secretly.

"Sister Xiyue, why are you doing this?"

Ningguang rolled her eyes at Su Mo. "Look at what you're saying. Do you think I'm ungrateful? You and Grandpa helped me when I was in the most difficult time, and you even built my own snack stand. That's how I became the Tianquan Ningguang I am today. Now that Grandpa's gone, you're the only one who can be considered a relative in this world. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Su Mo chuckled after hearing this. This feeling of having family seemed to be quite good. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past.

Ningguang looked at Su Mo, who was grinning foolishly in front of her, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes.

She helped Su Mo not only because she was Xiyue back then. There was also a hint of luck involved. Of course, compared to the two, the former was the most important.

Thinking of this, Ningguang sighed and continued, "I've said everything I need to say, and you understand the situation." Ningguang's tone became heavy.

"Su Mo, now that things have come to this, I only have one question for you: are you going or not?"

Su Mo's face was tangled upon hearing this, and he didn't know what to do. On the one hand, even though he knew Keqing's rejection of his confession wasn't her original intention, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. What was missed was missed. If it could be redeemed, there wouldn't be so many regrets in the world.

On the other hand, if he didn't go, what would Keqing's efforts have meant? After all, Keqing was already ill, and as a friend, shouldn't he go visit her? Furthermore, this incident was caused by him...

Thinking of this, Su Mo's eyes suddenly became firm.

go with!

No matter what, Keqing did this for herself. Even if the feelings were no longer pure, she would still feel uncomfortable when she was hurt.

What's more, even as a friend, you would go at this time.

Su Mo looked at Ningguang's expectant eyes and replied, "Sister Xiyue, I'll go!"

Ningguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She smiled and said, "Why, have you finally figured it out? Weren't you reluctant just now?"

Su Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's already this time, Sister Xiyue, please stop joking with me. Besides, Sister Xiyue, you asked for it yourself, as your younger brother, how can I refuse?"

Ningguang snorted coldly: "Haha, haven't you refused enough?"

Su Mo didn't care and shrugged helplessly.

"Let's go!"
