It was already dark, and the autumn wind was hazy and cool.

Inside a shop, the girl saw that there were not many pedestrians on the street, so she closed the shop door and prepared to close the stall.

Suddenly, there was a movement behind her. The girl raised the corner of her mouth slightly, picked up the duster on the table and hit it behind her.

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts!" A cry of pain was heard. The girl looked at the boy on the ground, her arms around her chest, the duster in her hand swinging.

"What? Are you back from playing? You left me alone to do my job while you went out to play? You really act like a big shot, don't you, young master?"

The young man felt aggrieved, "Sister Xiyue! I didn't do it on purpose."

"Huh!?" The girl raised her hand and was about to drop it.

"I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again!" The boy begged for mercy hurriedly.

The girl snorted coldly, "Why are you still standing there? Help me pack my things!"

The boy said "oh" and then started to help the girl.

After cleaning up, Xiyue took out the food that had been prepared long ago from the cabinet and prepared to eat.

Suddenly, he saw Xiao Su Mo staring intently at the side and asked, "Have you eaten yet?

Little Su Mo chuckled, "No! I'm just waiting for you, Sister Xiyue, to have dinner."

Xiyue shook her head helplessly, then took out a small bowl, emptied half of the food in the bowl, and then pushed the bowl towards the other party.

"Here, eat it. It's been cold for a long time. Just don't be disgusted."

In reality, she had already prepared the meal, but she had saved time to eat because the shop was busy. Firstly, she didn't want to leave a good impression on the customers. Secondly, she felt uncomfortable eating during work hours and it seemed disrespectful to her career.

After hearing Xiyue's words, Xiao Sumo smiled and said, "No! Sister, you know I'm not picky about food."

He pushed the bowl back to Xiyue.

"But, Sister Xiyue, I can't eat so much. Please make some more."

Xiyue smiled, "Do you feel sorry for me now? What were you doing before? I've given it all to you, and you want more? Eat it. If you don't mind, then I should be!" As she said that, she pushed the bowl back.

Little Su Mo felt a little embarrassed and picked up the bowl to eat.

"By the way, have you come here and talked to grandpa?" Xiyue suddenly asked.

Little Su Mo raised his head and said as a matter of course, "Of course I did, otherwise he wouldn't let me run around!"

"Grandpa, did you agree so?" Xiyue ate silently.

Xiao Su Mo thought for a moment, "No, not really. I told him I wanted to help you and learn some business skills from you, so he let me out."

After Xiao Su Mo finished speaking, he felt a pain in his waist.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Xiyue sneered, "What a clever little guy, using me as a shield? You've made it big! You said you were going to help me work and learn business, but I think you're just going out to have fun."

"You should do things that suit your age! Besides, I just came back to help you." Little Su Mo begged for mercy and started to defend himself.

Xiyue said disdainfully, "You came back to help me, you came back to eat for free!", then let go of her hand and started eating again.

Xiao Su Mo was unhappy. "Look at you. I came here to accompany you out of kindness, but you treated me like this. It's simply a disgrace to your glorious image in my heart!"

Xiyue shook her head and sighed, "He's a smooth talker and a dishonest person. You can tell a person's future from when he was three years old. He's like this now, so I guess he won't be a good person when he grows up."

"Who are you talking about! Who is not a thing!?"

Xiyue narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Oh? So you are a thing?"

"I..." Xiao Su Mo realized that he had been tricked by the other party.

"Humph, only a little girl and a gentleman are hard to raise. You are so cruel!"

Xiao Su Mo slammed the table.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm a human, a Liyue person who believes in the Rock King!"

Xiyue nodded nonchalantly, "Well, everyone's from Liyue. So, proud Liyue, where did you go crazy today? Did you go to see Zhang Yan?"

Little Su Mo looked unhappy and fiddled with the food in his bowl. "Looking for Zhang Yan? Why look for him? It's boring to look for him. He will just chase after A Xuan. By the way, Sister Xiyue, do you remember when you came to see me a few days ago?"

"Looking for you? Which time are you referring to? When did you run away halfway and then I went to look for you?" Xiyue asked.

After all, in her impression, Xiao Su Mo was always half-hearted when doing things with her, and she did not demand too much of him. Seeing this, he became more and more presumptuous and always slacked off, which made her worried and she came out to look for him.

This made Xiao Su Mo speechless for a while, and then he changed the subject, "This is not important. Anyway, I met a new friend a few days ago, and I went to look for her today, but unfortunately, I didn't find her."

"New friend? Boy or girl?" Xiyue asked curiously.

"A girl, but speaking of it, Sister Xiyue, you don't know, she is quite interesting."

"How to say?"

"When I met her, she was a crybaby. In order to comfort her, I gave her the grilled fish you made but it didn't work. Then, when she cried, I imitated her and cried too. Guess what? Later, she foolishly worried about me and comforted me." As he said this, Xiao Su Mo laughed and then couldn't help but sigh.

"But, I guess we share some common suffering. I don't have any parents, and from what she said, it seems like her mother is gone."

Xiyue listened with interest at first, but frowned slightly after hearing the latter part, "Why do I feel like you are teasing me?"

Su Mo shuddered. "No way, you don't know. She kicked me twice when she left. Although I looked fine at the time, that girl was actually very strong! She looked so small, but she kicked me down in an instant. I still feel a little pain now."

Xiyue chuckled, "Serves you right! Then why did you go looking for her?"

Little Su Mo was silent. "Well... that's because she's a girl and she doesn't have a mother..."

Xiyue rolled her eyes at him. "If you want to go, just go. Why are you making excuses? You have the will but not the guts! And you, can't you just go play with some boys? You only mess with girls. I bet you won't be a good person when you grow up. Where's your Keqing? Aren't you with her?"

Su Mo shook his head. "As for Keqing, I don't know what she's been busy with these days. She doesn't leave the house all day. It's hard to even see her."

"You can't go to her without leaving the house? I guess it's not that you didn't go, but that you can't even get into her house."

Xiao Su Mo remained silent.

Xiyue understood the general idea after seeing this.

"She came to you on her own initiative, didn't she?"

Little Su Mo shook his head, "Very rarely, maybe because my family is very strict."

Ningguang sighed, understanding the general idea. After a pause, she considered the situation carefully before speaking, "Actually, this is how relationships are. Meeting is fate, and parting is the end of fate. Just be yourself. Don't force the rest; just let it flow."

Xiao Su Mo disagreed and said frankly: "You can't say that. Sometimes fate is something you have to fight for. Just like your stall, Sister Xiyue, wasn't it also something we fought for in the first place?"

Ningguang was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "Yeah, I fought for it."

……

"Aren't you going back yet?"

"Why should I go back? It's so late, of course I'm sleeping here. Besides, it's so late, are you willing to let me walk alone at night?"

"Then there's no place for me to sleep with you here."

"It's okay, let's squeeze in."

"That's a nice thought!"

Moonlight streamed through the window onto the quilt, illuminating Su Mo's face. He stretched out his five fingers, letting the moonlight filter through them. Looking at his right hand, which was bright and white, a few thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Xiyue asked, lying on the ground next to the bed.

"Sister Xiyue?"

"what happened?"

Xiao Su Mo suddenly said, "Actually, I think that whether it's fate or not, no matter what it is, we should always try our best, right?"

"As the saying goes, 30% is determined by fate, and 70% depends on hard work. If you give up before doing something without giving it your all, then the remaining 30% of luck will not come. So I will not give up easily. Even if there is no chance, I will not turn back until I hit the wall."

Xiyue hummed lightly.

"Even if it really makes me sad in the end, I will muster up the courage to give it a try, because I think some things may not be without a chance." Xiao Su Mo continued.

Xiyue still hummed lightly.

"Don't you want to persuade me again?"

"Will you listen if I advise you?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

"That's it."

Xiyue's words made little Su Mo withdrawn and he didn't want to say anything.

Xiyue couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of little Su Mo like this.

In fact, he knew a little about Su Mo's thoughts. She also understood Su Mo's character.

Optimistic and open-minded, he always sees the world in a positive light. He also has a stubborn personality that refuses to turn back until he hits a wall. Unless he's completely disappointed, he's likely to cling to hope and keep trying.

is this okay?

To be honest, this is pretty good.

But is it really good?

It's not good again.

"Su Mo?" Xiyue shouted.

"what happened?"

"What if that person was me? What would you do?"

"You?" Su Mo thought for a moment, "Then I will definitely not be willing to accept it. If it were you, I would also wait for you."

"After all, Sister Xiyue is so nice. If she leaves one day, I will be so heartbroken."

"Is it true? It's really that exaggerated."

"Of course it's true." Xiao Su Mo said affirmatively, then became a little confused, "Why are you asking this suddenly? Could it be that you..."

"No!" Xiyue's eyes flickered, "I'm just a little curious. If I asked you to choose between me and someone else, what would you choose?"

"Sister Xiyue!" Little Su Mo became resentful.

Xiyue laughed at the helpless little boy, "Hahaha, okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore.

"I was worried about you!" Little Su Mo covered himself with the quilt.

"Worried about me? You might as well worry about yourself." Xiyue said casually.

"Actually, what I want to say is, no matter what, no matter who you are, I hope you can be yourself, do what you should do, live for yourself, and don't dwell on this."

"In fact, some people only appear to accompany you through a short but beautiful time. Even if one day we go our separate ways, you have to understand that some partings really don't require a goodbye, just keep them in your heart. Most importantly, I don't want to see you like that, understand?"

Nothing happens.

"Did you hear that? This is what your sister is teaching you!"

"Ah... I heard it!" An impatient voice came from under the quilt.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to continue, Xiyue tentatively asked: "Good night?"

"Good night, Sister Xiyue!" a muffled voice came.

Ningguang was amused by this pretentious display of strength.

The moonlight sprinkled on Su Mo's quilt and flowed down the edge of the bed to the ground. Xiyue looked at the whiteness of his body and some thoughts flashed in his eyes, while the bright moon outside the window was bright and round.
