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

Liyuegang

Ningguang looked at Su Mo and said with a smile: "Are you back?"

Su Mo chuckled in response, "I'm back."

"How do you feel this time?"

Su Mo responded casually, "It feels good. Just think of it as a trip." Then Su Mo looked around and said with a smile, "I don't have any problems, but I'm sorry for the trouble you guys have put in. So many people are waiting for me here."

Ningguang smiled. "What's that? Personally, there's no need to say anything. Publicly, you're a significant contributor to Liyue's mission to Mondstadt. I'm here to greet you on behalf of the Seven Stars. What's wrong with that?"

Su Mo smiled helplessly: "That's really not the case."

At this moment, Bai Shi suddenly walked over with two dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Ningguang, he burst into tears: "Lord Ningguang, I finally see you. Woo woo woo..." As he said that, Bai Shi pounced towards Ningguang in her surprised eyes.

Ningguang hugged Bai Shi and patted her back gently, saying soothingly, "Alright, alright. I just asked you to accompany me to Mondstadt. Why do you act like we're parting forever?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi left the warm embrace, wiped away his tears, and said aggrievedly, "Sir, you don't know, ever since Su Mo arrived in Mond, he's left all his affairs to me. He's disappeared, living a carefree life. Furthermore, he even joined someone else's war. Did you know that there was so much gunfire at the time that I almost didn't get to see you?"

"War!?" Ningguang looked at Su Mo in surprise, then turned to Bai Shi.

Bai Shi nodded aggrievedly.

Ningguang looked at Su Mo with resentment, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Mo's face.

"Well... the situation forced me... I didn't mean to do that."

Ningguang looked at Su Mo helplessly, then withdrew her gaze and turned to comfort Bai Shi in front of her: "Okay, okay, I know you've suffered. This time I come back, I'll give you a month off so you can have a good rest, okay?"

"Really?" Bai Shi looked up in surprise, his eyes full of anticipation.

Ningguang smiled and nodded. "Really? Not only that, I'll give you a raise and a paid vacation!"

"Wow, Lady Ningguang is still the best!" Bai Shi hugged Ningguang again, muttering, "Unlike that certain person who doesn't even care about his secretary."

Ningguang shook her head helplessly and tried to comfort him.

Su Mo looked at this scene and felt helpless for a moment. He had indeed done something a little unkind.

At this moment, Keqing saw this and took the initiative to say, "Welcome back."

Su Mo nodded and smiled calmly: "Well, thank you. Please come out to pick me up."

Keqing smiled slightly, looking at the two people who were still comforting her. "Isn't this exactly what Ningguang wanted? She thought you'd been away for so long, and what if you didn't see anyone coming to pick you up? What if you were sad? That's why we came. Now it seems like we're unnecessary."

Su Mo quickly denied: "No, no, I'm already very happy that you can come. By the way, how is your health?"

"I recovered a long time ago. I returned to work a few days after you left."

Su Mo nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, then Lord Yuhengxing is really hardworking. Unlike me, I throw all the things to the aggrieved little secretary." He looked at the aggrieved Bai Shi and said self-deprecatingly.

Keqing shook her head. "Everyone has their own way of doing things, and that's understandable. Besides, secretaries are supposed to assist Qixing with matters, and that's part of their job."

Su Mo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Keqing, who took her work so seriously, would say such a thing.

"That does make sense. It seems like I do feel a lot more relaxed now." Su Mo said with a smile, then looked at Bai Shi who was standing beside him.

"Bai Shi, did you hear that? Lord Yu Heng Xing said this is your job, don't feel wronged."

Bai Shi suddenly became angry: "Humph, a guy with low emotional intelligence."

Keqing shook her head helplessly. She was just trying to comfort him, but who knew that Su Mo would really take advantage of the situation and climb up.

"By the way, you're finally back, why don't we go give you a welcome party?" Keqing suggested.

"Oh? When did Master Yuhengxing's work become so leisurely?"

Keqing rolled her eyes at him. "Didn't someone say that it's okay to relax once in a while? Or do you want to make me sick again?"

Su Mo waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't want to take this responsibility."

"In that case, let's go and take a look? Xinyuexuan, how about it? Just treat it as a way to relax." Keqing's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Hmm..." Su Mo pondered for a moment.

"How about another day? I just got back and have a lot of things to deal with. I haven't finished reporting on the Mondstadt mission, handing over affairs, and so on."

Keqing's eyes couldn't help but drop for a moment, then they lit up.

"Or I can help you, so you can solve it faster."

Su Mo smiled and said, "I was already slacking off like this in Mondstadt, and now I'm back and still doing this, I'm really unworthy of my position. Didn't you see that some people are complaining about it? How about this, I'll call you some other day, and then we can have a good get-together."

Keqing felt helpless and nodded: "Okay." Then Keqing took the initiative to say: "By the way, I've taken care of your house for you while you were away. You don't have to worry about it getting dusty over time."

Su Mo was stunned when he heard this.

"Thank you. But now that I'm back, I'll have to clean up after myself from now on."

Keqing nodded silently.

Su Mo looked at Keqing like this and said nothing more. Although Keqing cleaned the house while he was away, he was grateful.

But now that he's back, it would be too awkward for Keqing to go. Although this might make Keqing feel uncomfortable, it's better to make some things clear.

Ningguang looked at the awkward atmosphere between Su Mo and Keqing and shook her head helplessly.

Suddenly, they felt a weight on their shoulders. It turned out that Ningguang was resting her body on their shoulders, one on each side.

"You two, you finally got back, why is the atmosphere so awkward?" Ningguang said with a smile.

Su Mo felt the touch on his shoulder and couldn't help but smile: "Sister Ningguang, I just got back and I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Ningguang looked a little unhappy: "What could be more important than having dinner with me? Or do you no longer regard me as your sister?" Without waiting for Su Mo to answer, Ningguang turned aside.

"Keqing, don't you think this guy is quite heartless?"

Keqing, who was suddenly called out, woke up from her thoughts.

"Huh? I don't know."

Ningguang looked at Keqing's confused eyes, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Good guy, I gave you the chance but you didn’t use it.

Su Mo looked at the two people with different expressions and felt helpless: "Sister Xiyue is naturally very important in my heart. I also want to accompany Sister Xiyue, but being in this position naturally requires me to take on this responsibility. Only in this way can I better accompany Sister. How about this, I'll make an appointment another day, Xinyuexuan, I'll treat you."

"Heh, you think you can settle this with just one meal? It's just one meal. What if I treat you to a hundred or eighty meals?" It was obvious that Ningguang didn't buy it.

"Sister Xiyue, you are so beautiful, so please don't make things difficult for me. You know, I have been slacking off for such a long time. If people gossip about me, it will affect your image, Sister Xiyue. Good sister, please, I do have something urgent..." Su Mo looked at Ningguang pitifully.

Ningguang was rather disgusted. "Hmph, you're such a smooth talker. Go away, go away! Seeing you like this is annoying me. You're not a child anymore, yet you're still acting like a child."

Su Mo was as if granted amnesty, and smiled: "Who made you my good sister? In that case, I will leave first."

"Yeah," Ningguang responded indifferently.

Seeing this, Su Mo hurriedly ran away.

Ningguang couldn't help but shake her head at Su Mo's cheerful back, then turned to look at Keqing in her arms. She saw Keqing staring at Su Mo's receding back, wondering what she was thinking.

Ningguang felt somewhat helpless, sighed, and spoke seriously.

"Ah Qing, we know Su Mo quite well. He's a person who easily cherishes the past. There's no particular hatred between you and him. If you try hard, there's still hope."

Keqing felt a little discouraged when she heard that.

"Sister Xiyue, you see, he seems to have become more open-minded this time. If I did that, wouldn't that make him dislike me even more?"

Ningguang rolled her eyes at her and gently nudged her head with her finger. "Silly girl, the most that happened between you and him was the rejection of that confession. That's just how you young people are. You're so desperate for a confession. If you like someone, just take the initiative."

"Look at those couples, don't they also break up and get back together? Even married couples sometimes have long periods of silence. But if one party takes the initiative, wouldn't the effect be much better?"

"Take the initiative?" Keqing asked worriedly, "Wouldn't that make us seem less reserved?"

Ningguang couldn't help but sigh and began to explain.

"You see, this is just like how I do business. If you like something, you have to fight for it. If you don't fight for it, sooner or later it will be bought by someone else. When the time comes, it will be too late for you to regret it." Ningguang said seriously.

"Don't think that if you just do your best, opportunities will come to you. How can such a good thing happen in this world? Unless it is really a blind cat that meets a dead mouse. Only if you take the initiative, then opportunities will come to you. So, let go of your reserve and be more proactive."

Keqing nodded thoughtfully, then teased, "Sister Xiyue, how do you know so much about this? Have you ever experienced it?"

Ningguang rolled her eyes at her.

"The little girl is even talking about me."

Keqing chuckled, and Ningguang said helplessly.

"It's not a question of whether or not, but the principles under the sun are pretty much the same. Opportunities must be seized by oneself, not handed down by others. A moment of luck can indeed make your life peaceful, but can you always be lucky?"
