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

After Su Mo and Zhongli parted ways, he searched for Keqing in all the places she might go, including the head office, the beach, and even the street stalls she often visited, but found nothing.

"Oh no, I just said I was looking for Keqing. I forgot to ask Mr. Zhongli which direction she went." Su Mo said with some annoyance.

"Could she have gone home by herself?" Zhen guessed.

Su Mo shook his head. "With her personality, if something unhappy like this happens, she will just wander around aimlessly and won't go home. Because she feels that staying at home will only make her more depressed, and she needs to walk around to share her attention and clear her mind."

"Hey, you seem to know her quite well. How can you say you are not interested in her?" Zhen joked.

Su Mo was somewhat helpless. "Aunt, it's already this late. Stop joking. Let's find the person first."

"Well, it's closed. So where do you think she'll go?"

Su Mo shook his head, "I don't know either."

……

Su Mo continued searching, and a figure appeared in front of him. It was Yun Jin.

"How was the chat?" Yun Jin asked with some concern.

Su Mo admitted frankly, "Not very good."

"Because of me?" Yun Jin's tone was a little lost.

"Don't think too much. It's not because of you. It's because of me. I'm hiding something from her." Su Mo explained, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. "But why are you here?"

He clearly remembered that Yun Jin had already gone back, and since it had just rained, it was impossible for the other party to hang around outside.

"Looking for Keqing."

Before Su Mo could say anything, Yun Jin continued to explain, "Ningguang just sent someone to my house to look for her."

"Why are we going to your house?"

Yun Jin shook her head. "I don't know. She's probably a little worried that Keqing will come and talk to me directly."

Su Mo nodded and said nothing more.

The two walked together on the street. Yun Jin saw that Su Mo looked a little absent-minded, but did not say anything. The two just walked quietly.

"Jin Baoer..." Su Mo said hesitantly.

Yun Jin nodded. "It's okay. Go if you want to. We can talk about it later if there's anything else. If anything really happens to Keqing because of this, I'll feel guilty."

Su Mo suddenly felt relieved, but then became anxious, "But I can't find her at all now."

Yun Jin thought for a moment and said, "So, does she have any particularly memorable places? Or some important places?"

"A particularly important place?" Su Mo frowned, then suddenly realized, "I think I know."

He was busy looking for the places Keqing often went to, but ignored the whole story and what Keqing was thinking at the moment.

After parting with Yun Jin, Su Mo came to a place based on his feelings.

It was still the same alley, the alley where the story began.

Su Mo walked down the stairs slowly. After the light rain, crystal clear water droplets were still hanging on the bricks and tiles, dripping from time to time, making crisp sounds.

Looking at this scene, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was here that he and Keqing confessed their love. It was a pity that so much time had passed and things and people had changed. He had never been here since then.

"You're quite good at playing hide-and-seek. I know you're here. Come out." Su Mo said with a hint of teasing in his voice.

"You're not coming out? Do you want me to pull you out myself?"

Su Mo looked up and saw a little boy who was looking at him timidly.

Su Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't mean yours, sorry." The little boy left in a panic. Looking at his back, Su Mo was a little confused, "Did I find the wrong person?"

At this moment, a figure sounded faintly from behind him.

"How did you know I was here?"

Su Mo was startled and turned around hurriedly, only to see that familiar face. Only then did Su Mo calm down.

Su Mo chuckled, "Actually, I didn't know, but now I know."

"Oh……"

Keqing lowered her head, remained silent, crossed her arms, rubbed her shoulders subconsciously, and turned to leave. Su Mo noticed that Keqing was now completely soaked by the rain, her once neat hair now matted to a mess, clinging to her forehead. She looked downcast and miserable.

Su Mo didn't hesitate and immediately took off his coat and gently draped it over Keqing's shoulders.

Keqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously twisted her shoulders, trying to break free: "Don't... um..."

Su Mo forced her to put it on, holding her shoulders with both hands, and looked into her eyes seriously. The two of them stared at each other, one with a firm and tough look, while the other had tears in her eyes, full of grievance and resentment.

Su Mo spoke softly, his tone gentle but firm, "I know what you want to say. Don't come to me. Leave me alone for a while. I'm in a mess and want to cry but can't. I want to die, but I don't know how to die comfortably."

Keqing looked at him with tears in her eyes, her lower lip tightly pursed, and tears were about to fall.

"Just now you asked me how I knew you were here. I should have answered that finding you was inevitable because everyone is looking for you all over the world. You want some quiet time, and I understand that you're feeling confused; that's normal. It means you're still alive. If you want to cry, my shoulder is free, but if you want to die, I won't allow it!"

Su Mo slowly let go of Keqing's shoulders, his tone a little more relaxed, "Okay, then how about we skip all this corny nonsense?"

Keqing turned around slowly, without saying a word, sobbing.

"Do you know that you're so noisy, just like when we were little? And you're so mean, you always bully me. You already have a girlfriend, yet you still come looking for me? What a scumbag!"

Su Mo smiled slightly and nodded, "Thank you for the compliment! But since the scumbag has come to find you, it's better for you to go back with him."

Keqing angrily said, "He's already a scumbag, why should I go back with him! Let him scum on me?"

Su Mo was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "Sister Ningguang and I had a big fight."

"Why?" Keqing realized it as soon as she asked.

"because I?"

Su Mo smiled and nodded, "Not really, but it's the majority after all. Believe it or not, if you don't come back, we will keep arguing about this until you come back."

"I……"

Keqing shook her head, her voice choked with sobs, "I'm not worthy of you doing this for me." Keqing thought that in Ningguang's heart, although she and Su Mo were both important, Su Mo ultimately occupied a more important position.

Su Mo shook his head and said seriously, "Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you to decide, but for me and Sister Ningguang! After so many years, aren't we still family? And do you think it's worth it for you to be so depressed because of me?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is not up to you, but it's me, Keqing!" Keqing retorted, with a hint of stubbornness in her tone.

Su Mo nodded. "Yeah, you've learned how to use the opponent's force to your advantage. Go back, Sister Ningguang needs you, Liyue Harbor needs you..."

"What about you? Do you need me?" Keqing asked back, her eyes full of exploration and hope.

Su Mo was silent.

Keqing's tears slowly slid down her cheeks and she began to sob.

Su Mo spoke slowly, "I once liked a girl. We were entangled for a long time, bickering every day until one day something suddenly happened. On the day of our separation, I felt very guilty because I felt that it was a mistake for me to stay with her. At that time, I felt that I could not give her happiness, and maybe leaving was also a mistake. But some things require choices before you know which mistakes are worth making."

Keqing was silent. She naturally understood the hidden meaning of Su Mo's words.

"What's the result?" she asked.

Su Mo shook his head. "There's no result. People often make another mistake because of one mistake. Even if they make a mistake because of something else, it's still a mistake. Since many mistakes cannot be avoided, why let regret bury your life? Instead of running away, it's better to face them one by one. What do you think?"

Keqing shook her head, "I...I don't know what to do."

On one side is the person you like, and on the other side is your own heart.

She didn't know how to face this relationship in the future.

"Ask yourself, a person will play many roles in his life. If you are unhappy, you can throw the script away, but remember, there is a script that truly belongs to you." Su Mo said softly.

"But remember not to throw it in the wrong place," he added jokingly.

Keqing glared at him. "I find you quite interesting. You were the one who broke my heart, yet you're trying to comfort me now. How shameless!"

After complaining, Keqing wiped her face and asked a strange question, mumbling, "Is this considered playing hard to get?"

Su Mo was amused. "You're still in the mood to joke at this time. Maybe, I just want to comfort you, my childhood friend, for now."

"ok, I get it."

Su Mo nodded. "What about now? It just started raining. How about a spontaneous stroll in the rain?"

Keqing raised her eyebrows, "Scumbag! Damn scumbag! And he has no sympathy for others!" She was amused and punched Su Mo a few times as if to vent her anger. Su Mo grinned and accepted it calmly.

Just as the two were about to go back.

"Ouch!" Keqing cried out in pain.

"What's wrong?" Su Mo asked with concern.

"I sprained my ankle, it hurts!" Keqing frowned, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

"How did it happen?" Su Mo frowned, his eyes full of worry.

"It's all your fault. You chose this place. There are so many steps, and it just rained and the ground is slippery..."

"You blame me for the place I chose? Then why didn't you say you had to come here?" Su Mo retorted, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Su Mo squatted down and gently touched the ankle of the woman in black silk stockings.

"It hurts!" Keqing exclaimed, frowning.

Su Mo sighed, knowing that Keqing couldn't go back normally like this. He stood up, turned his back to Keqing and bent slightly, "Come on!"

"what?"

"I'll carry you back. Do I have to wait until you catch a cold? Or do you want to limp back like this?"

Keqing snorted, "It's strange you're willing! Aren't you afraid Yunjin will get jealous?"

"Two different things!" Su Mo said seriously.

Keqing smiled, reaching out and placing her hands on Su Mo's shoulders. Su Mo then gently put his arm around Keqing's legs and lifted her up on his back. Keqing leaned against Su Mo's back, sighed slightly, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

The two of them walked on their way back.

Keqing's whole body swayed gently with Su Mo's step by step. She felt the other's somewhat broad back, and a sense of relief surged in her heart, but then, an inexplicable sense of frustration surged in her heart.

She suddenly nodded Su Mo's head with a malicious look and teased, "Hey, big bad guy, tell me, you've been so good to me, how can I let you go?"

"When your heart is dead, you'll naturally let it go." Su Mo said in a calm tone, as if he was stating a very simple fact, but it was like pouring cold water on Keqing's joke.

"You!" Keqing was suddenly speechless by this unromantic guy and stared in anger.

She snorted and said stubbornly, "You really want me to die, but I won't give up because I don't agree with you."

Su Mo nodded. "Well, keep going. I'm quite loyal anyway. Since I've agreed, I won't let you go. Just don't be sad when the time comes."

"You! Ahhhh!!! You scumbag, put me down if you have the guts!" Keqing was so angry that she shouted in shame and annoyance.

Su Mo ignored the noise behind him and just carried Keqing on his back, walking steadily back the way he came, as if all this was just a child's unreasonable behavior and not worth mentioning at all.

In a corner not far away, a figure stood quietly, his eyes passing through the mottled light and shadow, falling on the two playful people, but he remained silent.

It turned out to be Yunjin

In fact, when Su Mo came just now, she had already followed him quietly, but she didn't let the other party notice the whole process. After all, she was a little curious about this kind of thing. She wondered how Su Mo would persuade her, and she heard the whole conversation between the two.

But overall, it seems pretty good?

Yun Jin stood quietly, her gaze fixed on the two playful people. Her hands were lightly clasped behind her, her head tilted slightly, as if she were examining something. Her figure swayed gently in the breeze, like a crabapple tree swaying gently in the wind, and the delicate hairpin in her hair swayed gently with her movements...
