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

Looking at the towering steps in front of him, Paimon's little head couldn't help but tilt, his little eyes full of great doubts.

"This is the General Affairs Department. It looks like the stairs are quite high."

She looked up at the building at the top of the stairs, which stood tall and majestic.

Paimon nodded and commented,

"Hmm... As expected of an official Liyue organization, it looks much more formal than Mondstadt's Plains Knights."

"That's true, but they each have their own style, so we can't talk about them together."

"Well, let's go find Su Mo now."

"Hey wait," Ying pulled Paimeng's clothes, and then said to Paimeng's puzzled expression: "When I just got here, I met a few friends who knew Su Mo. They said he hasn't finished get off work yet. If we go in to look for him now, we will definitely go in and ask around. Wouldn't that delay his work?"

Paimon scratched his head. "Yeah, so what should we do? Are we just going to wait here? That would be too boring."

Ying pondered for a moment, then said, "Of course we have to look for him, but it's not very nice of us to disturb others when we first arrive. That person just now said that Su Mo hasn't finished get off work yet? How about we wait for a while?"

"Wait a moment?"

"Yeah, I think it's almost time. I guess it's almost time to get off work."

"What if I don't wait?"

"Then let's go in and look for it. We can't just wait forever." Ying said as a matter of course.

"Then why don't we just go in, it will save time."

Haha, we are outsiders after all. You go in and ask for directions so that everyone knows that we are looking for Su Mo.

Isn't that great? Then everyone will know about it. When they see Su Mo, they can tell him. Isn't that much better than asking one by one?

"Stupid! This is someone's workplace. Why are you making such a fuss about it? Are you shouting about it so that everyone knows? Su Mo, don't you care about your reputation? What would you think if everyone at your workplace was discussing your little gossip?"

After all, this is Liyue's official institution, so sometimes we still have to pay attention to some things.

Although she was a traveler who didn't care about so many things, she couldn't be sure what others would think, especially when she was in Mondstadt. Even with such an enthusiastic leader like Jean, who treated her colleagues and the public so warmly and gently, there were still some people with ulterior motives who deliberately spread rumors about her and did not appreciate her kindness.

Sometimes official agencies have a lot of problems, so you have to be careful no matter what you do, otherwise you will be isolated and not know what is going on.

"Wow, so this is true, Ying. You are quite gentle and considerate of others." Paimon sighed. After all, this crazy woman has always been mean to her. She didn't expect that she would have such thoughts.

"But I don't think it's necessary. Su Mo is not that kind of person. Besides, there aren't that many people like you who have nothing to do. I think you've become a little sensitive because of your frequent contact with Su Mo and Qin."

Ying rolled her eyes, her hands on her hips. "Yes, you're right, but sometimes, we have to be cautious. After all, we're unfamiliar with the place, so we have to be careful. This is good for both us and our friends, so why not?"

"Uh... forget it, I..." Just as Paimon was about to say something else, the sound of high heels came from behind them. They looked and saw a girl in a purple skirt, cat ears and twin ponytails walking towards them heroically.

Ying and Paimon's eyes fell on the woman, and they couldn't help but be amazed. Their gazes moved along with her. The other party seemed to have noticed their gazes, and couldn't help but look at the two of them with some confusion. Then they passed by each other and stepped onto the steps of the General Affairs Department.

"Wow, Ying, did you see that? This girl looks so smart. She has a cool vibe!" Paimon's eyes sparkled as he looked at the beautiful figure with purple twintails from a distance away.

Ying couldn't help but nodded in appreciation, "That's true, that's right, but..."

She lifted her hair that was beside her ear, letting it flutter in the wind, a hint of pride flashed across her face.

“It’s still a little worse than mine.”

Paimon rolled his eyes in disdain. "Tsk, how conceited! Look at my hairstyle, it's a cute cat hairstyle... Look at yourself, what does a traveler need a bicycle for..."

As if she had heard Paimon's discussion, the figure with purple twintails paused, and some thoughts flashed in her eyes.

Traveler?

Then he turned around and looked at two people, a blonde girl and a white mascot who were arguing.

"Tsk, that's still better than you. All you do all day is eat, eat, eat. What else can you do besides eating? You might as well just change your name to Foodie!"

"Uh, huh, I'm not going to pay attention to you!" Paimon turned his head and looked aside.

Paimon glanced up unconsciously from the corner of his eye, and saw a girl with purple twintails looking at the two of them with curiosity.

Paimon suddenly felt guilty and hurriedly moved to Ying's side, his face full of anxiety and embarrassment, without any of his previous momentum.

"What are you doing?" Ying asked unhappily. What's wrong with the traveler? The traveler is also a girl. What girl doesn't love beauty? Can't she praise herself a few words?

Humph, now you're in a panic again. Do you know you're wrong? Why didn't you do that earlier?

Ying had made up her mind not to pay any more attention to Paimon, because this guy didn't intend to ruin her good mood.

Seeing Ying's indifferent look, Paimeng couldn't help feeling anxious, "Oh, Ying, look, that girl was looking at us. Maybe she heard what we were talking about just now. Is this considered hooliganism? If so, I'm done for!" As she spoke, her face gradually became sad.

Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes. "It's not as exaggerated as you say. It's just a compliment at most. It's nothing serious. Besides, you're a girl. What's wrong with a girl complimenting another girl? Don't you know that when a girl compliments another girl on her beauty, that's when it's truly beautiful? Look at you, you're such a coward."

The girl with purple twintails couldn't help but smile as she looked at the two people whispering with their backs to her.

Maybe it really is fate?

Thinking of this, he moved and began to slowly walk down the stairs.

After hearing Ying's words, Paimeng's wailing stopped immediately. "Hiss, you're right. Sincere compliments between people of the same sex are really good. So, I did the right thing?"

"Wow, I'm still a little worried. What if she misunderstands?"

Paimon glanced over casually and saw a girl with purple twintails slowly walking towards them with a half-smile on her face.

Paimeng was so frightened that he lost his mind. He quickly looked away, and shook Ying's arm frantically, whispering, "Ying, look, look!"

Ying, who was sulking, was unwilling to pay any more attention to this guy who was looking for trouble.

"Oh, don't worry, at most you can just praise her a few more times."

"No!" Paimon was almost crying, especially when she saw Keqing's smile with her head slightly tilted and her meaningful look. She wanted to die at this moment!

"Look! Ying!"

“She’s all here!!!”

Seeing that the girl had arrived, Paimeng couldn't help but roll his eyes and fell into Ying's arms.

Oh, be destroyed! I will never talk behind anyone's back again.

"Ah?" Ying reacted after hearing that. She turned around and saw that the woman had already arrived in front of them.

The two looked at each other, one was extremely confused, the other was smiling. A few steps away, the woman was standing on a high place with a bright smile on her face.

"Hello, my name is Keqing!"

"Huh?" Ying was a little confused, not understanding what the other party meant. Was he so familiar? But the other party had already introduced himself, so of course he had to reciprocate. "Hello, my name is Ying."

Hearing this, Keqing seemed to be thinking, "Ying? Firefly light? Hmm, the homophone is a good name, very nice."

"Hehe, thanks."

Keqing nodded, then her eyes fell on Paimeng in Ying's arms. She asked hesitantly, "Is your friend... okay?"

"Ah? You're talking about her." Ying looked at Paimeng in her arms, who looked a little unhappy. "Okay, get up. Everyone has seen you."

Paimon opened his eyes, and what he saw was a nearly perfect face, with curiosity glimmering in the cat-headed eyes.

Paimon jumped up and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have talked about you behind your back!"

This made Keqing look confused.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Ying, who couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hands, feeling a little helpless.

Shame on you!

"Okay, no one takes it to heart."

Then he looked at Keqing and explained.

"She saw you just now and thought you were very beautiful, so she said a few words to you. Then you suddenly turned back and she thought you were here to cause trouble for her."

Keqing suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's the case. Thank you very much." She then changed the subject and looked at Paimon with a half-smile, "But, talking about others behind their backs is indeed a bad habit."

Seeing this, Paimon quickly clasped his hands together and bowed, "Sorry, sorry! I really didn't mean it. I just complimented you because you were so beautiful."

Ying was a little helpless. "Don't take it to heart, Keqing. She's just like that. She only knows how to eat! She can't do anything else! But she's still kind-hearted."

"Haha," Keqing covered her mouth and smiled, "I see."

"By the way, Keqing, you just went over there, why did you come back? Is there something wrong?" Ying asked. After all, the other party had no relatives or friends with him, so it must be a problem for him to suddenly come back and talk to him.

"Oh, it's like this. I once heard a friend of mine say that he met three friends outside: a traveler, a foodie, and a drunkard. When I saw you just now, I had a strange sense of déjà vu and felt like I should know you. Do you know him?"

Traveler? Foodie? Drinker?

Ying seemed to be thinking about something when she heard this.

Well... the traveler should be referring to myself, the foodie should be Paimon, and the drunkard should be Wendy, of course.

Do you know these three people?

Hiss, then Keqing’s friend should be Su Mo.

"What's the name of the friend you're talking about?"

"His name is Su Mo." Keqing replied.

"Su Mo? It really is him!"

Ying couldn't help but feel speechless while sighing.

Su Mo's reputation is so great in Liyue. How come everyone I meet recognizes him?

You can lament as much as you want, but you still need to maintain proper etiquette.

"Hey, hello Keqing, I'm the traveler Su Mo mentioned." Ying then pointed to Paimeng standing beside her, "She's a foodie."

Paimeng was a little reluctant. What? Her only title is foodie!

"I'm not a foodie." Then he looked at Keqing, "Keqing, you can call me the traveler's best friend."

"Yes, a companion who only knows how to eat Traveler Mora." Ying complained mercilessly.
