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

"Su Mo, I like you and I want to be with you!" After saying that, the girl's face turned red and her earlobes were also stained red. She looked nervous and expectant.

Su Mo's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but no sound came out. He simply turned slowly and stiffly, his back to Keqing. A smile broke out on his face, and then his lips pursed slightly. Tears flickered in his eyes, turning into sadness. For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Looking at Su Mo, who was facing away from him and trembling slightly.

Keqing couldn't help but feel a little worried for a moment.

"Su Mo, are you okay?"

Su Mo just sighed, shook his head and waved his hand with his back to Keqing.

"No...it's okay...it's okay..." There was something complicated in his tone, and it was unclear whether he was happy or sad.

Keqing's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The two of them fell into silence again, and it was quiet for a while.

Su Mo took a deep breath and calmed down.

At this time, he had regained his previous calm.

Then he turned to look at Keqing, who was sitting upright on the sofa with her head bowed and her face flushed, as if ready to accept the judgment of fate. Noticing the gaze of the person in front of her, her hands unconsciously tensed up, tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, her mind a thousand thoughts.

Su Mo looked at this familiar scene, and the tension in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a gentle emotion. He said in a soft tone: "Keqing, I know I confessed to you before, and you also know my feelings, but that was all in the past, and you also rejected it. I think we need to calm down on this matter, okay?

Keqing was stunned and looked at Su Mo in disbelief.

Seeing this, Su Mo continued, "I know what you want to say, but I really can't give you an accurate answer right now. Sometimes, if you miss something, you really miss it."

Keqing's eyes suddenly turned red. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her chest heaving. It was as if she couldn't accept the reality of being rejected. Su Mo had clearly liked her so much before. How could she just forget over a decade of love?

"I don't believe it! If you really missed it, why did you come back!?" Keqing's voice was choked with sobs.

Su Mo smiled helplessly and explained: "This is my home, how could I not come back?"

"Isn't that fine? Your home is here, and I'm here too! Why can't we be together?!"

Su Mo was speechless for a moment, took a deep breath, and said patiently: "Keqing, that's different."

“What’s the difference!?”

"My home is here, and of course I will come back. The house is dead, but you are different from it."

"Then how can this place be called home if you're alone?

Keqing retorted, her emotions becoming even more agitated.

"Or do you mean that a house is a necessity and I'm just a disposable thing!?"

"Keqing!" Su Mo's tone suddenly became stern, but then he realized his loss of composure and softened his tone.

"You know that's not what I meant, and you should have your own life. I've figured out a lot since I came back this time. If it were before, I could make you a promise, but now, I really can't answer."

"Why? Why do you say that? Is it so embarrassing for you to be with me? Or do you think I'm not worthy of you!?" There was a hint of despair in Keqing's voice.

Su Mo felt a pain in his heart. He knew that his words might have hurt Keqing, but he also understood that some things could not be forced.

"Keqing, listen to me. I never meant to dislike you. You are also very outstanding, which is obvious to everyone, and I agree with you. But..."

"But I really can't promise you this. Relationships are complicated, not just about liking or disliking. Give me some time to think about it, okay?"

"What about our relationship then?"

"Let's just be friends like before, okay?"

"Friends? Haha, Su Mo, now that it has come to this, you tell me we can still be friends?" Keqing smiled bitterly.

"Su Mo, let me ask you one thing, do you really not want to be with me?"

Su Mo was somewhat helpless: "Keqing, please don't force me, okay?"

"Look me in the eyes and answer me!!!"

Keqing looked at Su Mo firmly, she needed a clear answer.

Su Mo looked at Keqing's determined expression and knew that today's incident would not end peacefully. If he didn't give her an answer, given her stubborn nature, she might do something radical.

"Su Mo, answer me! You really don't want to be with me?" Keqing asked excitedly.

Su Mo's expression changed several times before finally turning into a sigh. He shook his head gently: "I don't want to."

These words hit Keqing's heart like a heavy hammer, making her feel like she was bolt from the blue.

"Haha, haha, hahahaha..." Keqing's expression was a little crazy.

“Keqing…”

Looking at Keqing like this, Su Mo's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He wanted to say something, but before Su Mo could open his mouth, Keqing rushed out with tears in her eyes.

Su Mo watched Keqing's back, his heart filled with helplessness and confusion.

"You obviously still care about me, so why are you pretending to be so indifferent?" I was really confused.

"I don't know, maybe I'm wrong." Su Mo's hands unconsciously tightened on the door frame.

"No matter whether it's right or wrong, since you have this idea, then just take action. Just watching won't do the trick." Zhen advised.

"No, it's just a normal encounter."

Zhen's tone was filled with disdain: "Come on, I've seen through your little tricks for a long time. If you really have a normal heart, why don't you just reject her outright and consider her feelings instead of being so decisive?" Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, after all, we've been friends for over a decade. How could there be no feelings at all?"

Su Mo was about to refute.

Zhen interrupted, “Don’t say you didn’t, have you forgotten that I can hear your thoughts?

"And you were clearly suppressing your emotions when you were talking to her just now, especially when she said, 'I like you, let's be together.' You were still very happy in your heart, right?

Su Mo was silent.

Seeing this, Zhen teased, "What's wrong? Are you embarrassed that I hit you right in the heart?"

"Aunt~"

"Haha, Su Mo, you have come to this day, hahaha..."
