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

Three bowls and you’re done.

"Boss, give me a pot of Qiluo Yuxiang tea."

A young man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with an extraordinary temperament found a place to sit down calmly, as if he was very familiar with this place.

"Okay, Mr. Zhongli."

The boss was also very happy to see the man, knowing that this was a big business opportunity.

Ever since this gentleman named Zhongli came to drink tea and ordered expensive tea, the boss's business has improved.

Zhongli took a sip of the boiling hot tea with a calm expression, as if he was used to this kind of boiling hot tea.

On the stage, Tian Tiezui was talking incessantly about the glorious deeds of Emperor Yanwang and was very excited.

Zhongli watched the sun move slightly higher above his head, a little different from usual. He felt a little puzzled, but he didn't take it to heart.

"The last chapter mentioned this! Back in Liyue, great demons were invading the sea, and evil dragons were lurking in the mountains. The Rock King Emperor summoned all the immortals to restore peace to the world! Legend has it that when the Emperor went out to fight, he said..."

Before Tian Tiezui could continue speaking, someone answered

"Who brought Mora?"

Hearing this voice, Zhongli, who was listening to a book, couldn't help but smile slightly. I didn't expect he still remembered it...

"Mr. Zhongli, you really have a lot of free time. As a guest of the Wangsheng Hall, you have time to come here every day to listen to books and drink tea."

Su Mo quipped. As a Genshin Impact fan in his past life, he certainly knew. The elegant and well-spoken Zhongli in front of him was the god of Liyue—Gran Emperor.

"From a universal perspective, my friend Su, you're obsessed. While I may appear to be listening to books and drinking tea, I'm actually gaining a deeper understanding of Liyue's history and customs. For the services of the Wangsheng Hall, it's crucial to make clients feel that you're knowledgeable and have a steady demeanor. Only then will they feel comfortable entrusting their deceased loved ones to the hall."

Zhongli said calmly.

Hiss~, you are worthy of being me, the Rock King.

You're clearly slacking off, yet you speak so coherently. With over six thousand years of experience under your belt, who could possibly understand Liyue better than you?

Understand it, one by one, no one says anything.

Su Mo was also extremely helpless to face such a ruthless person who could do such a thing as eating his own table.

"So this is why you gave almost all the work to Master Hu?"

Zhongli: "..."

"Ahem... From a common sense perspective, gaining customer trust is more worthy of promotion than publicity... Speaking of which, today's Qiluo Yuxiang is particularly good and worth a try. Young friend Su, you must try it."

To be honest, Zhongli still felt a little guilty about Hu Tao. After all, the bill for each cup of tea would be charged to the account of Wangsheng Hall, which made Hu Tao's promotion more difficult.

Su Mo then sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly savored it.

Maybe because I am about to leave, I feel that everything and everyone has changed.

Looking at the serious Zhongli opposite him, his eyes couldn't help but feel dazed, as if he had returned to the time when they first met.

It was a sunny morning. Su Mo was strolling aimlessly at the port of Liyue Harbor, his brows furrowed, as if he was troubled by something.

Hmm? What's this person doing? Why does it feel so familiar...

The Thinker on the Board?

Su Mo felt confused.

I saw a man standing on a wooden board at the edge of the harbor with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the distant sea.

The man sighed from time to time, as if lamenting life.

"Master Hu has recently started to tighten his control over Mora."

"Alas~ It seems I can't drink good tea these days."

He didn't understand, he didn't spend that much Mora every day?

Zhongli thought about it and couldn't help but sigh helplessly again.

Perhaps it was because this person had a unique temperament, or perhaps it was because his behavior was so out of place in the bustling Liyue Port that he could be spotted in the crowd at a glance.

Su Mo couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, wanting to see what he wanted to do.

The final conclusion is: "This is a lonely boy who laments his life every day"

"Forget it, I'd better not meddle in other people's business."

Su Mo thought to himself.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward, Zhongli suddenly turned around and faced him.

"My dear, you have been staring at me for a long time. Is there something wrong?" the man asked

"Ah? It's okay, I was just taking a look." Su Mo felt confused.

"just looking around?"

"If that's all right, then from a common sense perspective, your behavior just now was extremely rude."

"Ah? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time." Su Mo felt embarrassed and apologized, then turned and left, wanting to get away from this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhongli suddenly shouted from behind Su Mo.

"?"

Su Mo's body trembled, he felt confused but did not turn around.

"My friend, do you have Mora with you?"

"??"

"Liyue is a kingdom of contracts. Everything requires a certain exchange. If you bring Mora with you, please buy me a cup of tea as an apology for what happened just now."

Zhongli said this in a serious tone, but the slight upward curve of his lips revealed his current mood.

Hiss, this familiar behavior, this special speech...

Quickly turned around and took a closer look

It's you, Zhongli! As the God of Mora, there's no Mora.

You are trying to sneak attack me and deceive a young man in his twenties. I advise you to learn your lesson!

Afterwards, Zhongli threatened to apologize to Su Mo and forced him to drink several pots of Shendu Jinrui before letting Su Mo go.

During this process, the two of them had a very pleasant conversation, and he was able to answer fluently all the civil affairs problems raised by Su Mo.

For this reason, Su Mo couldn't help but feel Zhongli's profound knowledge.

As their relationship deepened, the two gradually became close friends.

Su Mo also developed a love for tea. He would drink at least one pot of good tea every day, and Zhongli was happy to see it happen.

Now I think I was cheated.

I originally thought that only the Wind God Lao Deng from Mondstadt next door would do this, after all, that is a free country. But I didn't expect that Zhongli, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also rebel.

The morning sun slowly began to feel a little scorching.

"what happened?"

Zhongli looked at Su Mo who was daydreaming and said.

"Nothing, just some memories coming back.

"Come to think of it, when we first met, you asked me to treat you to tea. Did you do that on purpose?"

"maybe"

A hint of smile flashed in Zhongli's eyes. He then continued to listen to the book, as if the incident had nothing to do with him.

"Mr. Zhongli, I'm leaving..."

Su Mo said calmly.

"Ok?"

"I'm quitting my job at Tianshu Star. The General Affairs Department has approved it. I want to travel to the Seven Kingdoms."

Zhongli couldn't help but pause for a moment while drinking tea, then took a sip of tea comfortably.

"Is it because of Yuheng Star?"

"Ah."

"Alright"

Zhongli nodded, then pondered for a moment and said:

"I've also heard a little about you and Yuhengxing. From a general and rational point of view, you and she are indeed somewhat incompatible, but there must be some misunderstandings. I am still very optimistic about this generation of Seven Stars, of course including you, especially Tianquan and Yuheng among the Seven Stars. Both of them can be called excellent in terms of both ability and character."

"So what if there is a misunderstanding? Even if the broken mirror is mended, it can never go back to the way it was before." Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"..."

Zhongli's face twitched slightly and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to? Wasn't my point clear enough? There's a misunderstanding between you two, and I asked you to resolve it, not to interrupt me while I listen to others brag about my glorious deeds. jpg(?*???)?

"Although she rejected my confession..."

"But what she said... is right!" Su Mo said in a more serious tone.

"I can't indulge in my own fantasy world anymore. I have to find my own way and do things that truly belong to me. I shouldn't just revolve around her and make her feel annoyed. I even hate myself for being like that." There was a hint of bitterness in Su Mo's voice.

"Have you let it go now?" Zhongli's voice was calm and direct, as if he was asking Su Mo's inner thoughts.

This question seemed to have touched Su Mo's sensitive nerves. He suddenly became excited, and the teacup in his hand shook slightly with his trembling hands.

"How could I possibly let go? But so what? Isn't it normal to have regrets in life? I don't regret the deep affection I've felt in this life. If I can't have her, then let her go. At least... this proves that I was crazy about the person I loved when I was young. This makes my life worthwhile... right?"

Su Mo's voice gradually became quieter. His eyes changed from resolute to somewhat confused. He struggled in a vortex of emotions, trying to find himself in the midst of loss, while also painfully accepting the cruelty of reality.

Tian Tiezui's storytelling continued, but his voice was not as loud as before.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Zhongli." Su Mo said after a moment.

He seemed embarrassed by his recent gaffe.

"It's okay, it's just human nature, I understand."

Zhongli took a sip of tea and shook his head.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"I plan to leave tomorrow morning if possible."

"Okay, if I have the chance I will go to see you off tomorrow morning." Zhongli said.

"Thank you! This pot of tea is on me, just consider it as a token of your appreciation, haha."

Then Su Mo laughed and left, and he was inspired by a poem by Wu Liu Jushi, and he kept muttering

"Realize that the past cannot be changed, but know that the future can be pursued."

The young man strode forward and left towards the scorching sun. The sunlight shining on his body was particularly warm, as if he was a handsome young man walking out of the light.

But the back figure seemed a little lonely.

It should be noted that when he was young, he had great ambitions and was once considered to be the best in the world.

That passion, I once also possessed...

Zhongli thought so as he looked at Su Mo's back.

At this moment, Su Mo took two steps and suddenly turned his head and asked:

"By the way, Zhongli, do you have someone you like? Or someone who likes you?" Su Mo asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Zhongli's answer, Su Mo turned and left.

Zhongli looked at Su Mo's departing back, his expression a little dazed as he murmured:

"Someone you like?"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared in Zhongli's mind. A figure in a white robe with wide sleeves looked at him gently:

"Morax..."
