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

Su Mo carried Keqing to a fork in the road, pointing to two different places.

"Go back to your home?" Su Mo asked.

Keqing rolled her eyes and said with a pout, "Do you think it's appropriate?"

"Inappropriate?" Su Mo asked back. After all, Keqing's sprain needed treatment now. If left untreated, blood stasis would easily accumulate, and recovery would be even slower.

Keqing sighed, tapped Su Mo's head, and said in a condescending tone, "You have such a brain, but you don't even know what Yun Jin likes about you. Do you even need to think about such things?"

Su Mo's face darkened. "If I wasn't worried about you getting into trouble, I wouldn't bother with you!"

Keqing snorted, knowing that the other party was speaking in a sarcastic manner. She stopped teasing Su Mo, pointed in a direction, and said, "I heard that Sister Xiyue is still looking for me. We should go and explain things to her first, otherwise she will be anxious all the time. We can't let her worry about us all the time..."

Su Mo nodded and continued on his way.

For the rest of the journey, Su Mo remained silent and just walked quietly.

Keqing looked at Su Mo's absent-minded and depressed look, and felt a sense of distress and guilt for no reason. Her eyes wandered as she said, "Well, I didn't mean to deliberately alienate your relationship or say that she was bad... I was just joking with you. You're not stupid."

Su Mo nodded, "I know..."

Keqing was speechless, because in her opinion, at this time she shouldn't say things like, "It's okay, you can call me stupid," or "I don't take it to heart."

I know it sounds bland. I know the other person doesn't mean anything, but for some reason I feel quite awkward. I don't feel comfortable in my heart. It's almost there.

Keqing took a deep breath and spoke frankly, "I didn't mean to embarrass you, nor did I mean to say anything bad about her. But, this matter does have some problems. I feel like it happened a little too quickly."

Su Mo nodded, "That's right, but there are some things that cannot be said openly. I know about this."

Su Mo knew that with Keqing's personality, she would not deliberately slander or target Yun Jin just because of their relationship.

Because for Yuhengxing... no, to be more precise, for her, Keqing. Even if the other party took possession of the things she liked first, she would not do that, because her pride would not allow her to do that, and her education and innate upbringing would not allow her to do that. Even if she really wanted to take it back, she would do it in a fair and open manner and win it!

Su Mo has experienced this deeply since he was a child. He remembered one time, at Xiyue's stall, he wanted to eat grilled fish. It was something that could be solved by just saying some soft words, but Keqing insisted on getting it through her own efforts and grilling it herself.

Finally I succeeded by chance, and it was all black. I ran to him to show off, saying that how could a guy like you who got something for nothing be as delicious as the ones I baked myself?

Su Mo had already eaten most of the grilled fish in his hand.

This is when things are going well. If things aren't going well, even if she's faced a complete setback, even if tears well up in her eyes as she tells the story, she pretends to be strong, holding her head high to prevent the tears from falling. In a tone of grievance and indifference, she warns Su Mo, "This is because I, Keqing, haven't worked hard enough. You must remember this. Don't try to imitate me in the future. Only work to this extent, because you will suffer losses."

After she finished speaking, tears started streaming down her face. She complained about the other party's shortcomings that had caused her to suffer, while saying that she had to be strong and not cry, trying to make herself laugh.

At that time, he looked at the other person's frustrated expression of crying and laughing, and he was at a loss for words. He had to turn his back and suppress his laughter.

At this time, he would often be beaten up by the other party. After the incident, Keqing felt relieved, and he became the object of sadness. But at this moment, Keqing seemed as if nothing had happened, and she started her own strong theory with high morale.

Whenever Su Mo thought of this, he was speechless.

Having said that, what Keqing said this time did make some sense. Of course, there were indeed some issues between him and Yunjin that he had to think deeply about, and he would have to face them sooner or later, but Keqing just pointed them out in advance.

The longevity of a relationship between two people is not determined by how good or bad it is, but by mutual honesty and trust.

He was naturally frank with Yun Jin about this. If Yun Jin wanted to know anything about his life, he would tell her the truth. Although, relatively speaking, he naturally hoped that Yun Jin would open up.

Su Mo brought Keqing to Ningguang and asked someone to inform her.

When Ningguang saw Keqing with messy hair on Su Mo's back, worry suddenly appeared on her face. She hurriedly invited the two into the house and asked about the situation as they walked.

Keqing smiled and waved her hand, telling Ningguang not to worry.

Su Mo placed Keqing on the bed, raised her backrest, and let her sit there while chatting with Ningguang. When he learned about Keqing's injuries, he was immediately worried. After checking them, Ningguang looked at Su Mo and asked, "Did you do this?"

Keqing hurriedly stopped him, "No, it's me." Then Keqing narrated some things that happened after she left Xinyuexuan in a roundabout way.

Ningguang frowned slightly. "I'm so careless. You must be more careful next time. You made me so worried."

After saying this, Ningguang ignored Su Mo standing beside her, neither shouting at him nor showing any special concern.

After learning that Keqing was caught in the rain, Ningguang urged Keqing to change her clothes, but Keqing refused, saying that she was already dry.

It was drizzling before, and now Keqing's clothes have almost been dried by her body temperature. Keqing thinks there is no need to go through so much trouble, but Ningguang still urged Keqing to change into clean clothes, and her attitude was firm.

At Ningguang's request, Keqing had no choice but to agree.

After they finished speaking, they looked at Su Mo. Su Mo was puzzled, not knowing the reason for the two of them. In the end, Keqing revealed the secret and said with a smile, "Get out!"

Su Mo finally reacted, walked out of the room, went to the living room to wait, and thought about his speech in his mind.

Not long after, Ningguang walked out of the inner room.

Seeing this, Su Mo quickly stood up and said, "Sister Xiyue..."

Ningguang nodded, then gestured for Su Mo to sit down.

The two sat in silence.

Ningguang looked at the sitting Su Mo from time to time, and for a moment she felt a little complicated. She had no other thoughts, no special disgust, and no special joy. She just treated him normally.

The same is true for Su Mo.

Both sides tacitly remained silent, and it was unclear whether they were waiting for the other to bow first, or they didn't know how to deal with it.

"that……"

"Sister Xiyue...", the two spoke at the same time, and then fell silent at the same time.

Seeing that the other party didn't say anything else, Su Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xiyue..."

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Ningguang almost followed suit, "You said..."

Su Mo took a deep breath, looked at Ningguang seriously and said, "I was indeed a little impulsive in that matter. I shouldn't have refuted you in front of everyone and didn't consider your face. Also, I didn't tell you about Yun Jin in advance. It was indeed a mistake on my part. I won't do it again next time." His tone was apologetic.

Ningguang breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded. "It's okay. That matter was actually my fault. You didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. I made the decision without consulting you beforehand. I really didn't consider you. Just don't take it to heart and hold a grudge against me as your sister."

Su Mo shook his head, "Of course not."

Ningguang nodded. "Yeah, it's all in the past, so let's not bring it up again. Next time, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't make decisions on your own or hide things. I don't want there to be a next time. Of course, this is for you, and for me as well."

Su Mo nodded in agreement, and Ningguang echoed him.

In reality, she didn't hold any grudges against Su Mo. After calming down, she realized that she had indeed made a mistake, so she stopped dwelling on it. The key to the current situation was that something like that had just happened, and now they were facing it again. Not only was time short, but both sides were momentarily overwhelmed. They didn't know how to approach the situation, nor did they know what the other person was thinking. If the other person's thoughts were different from hers and she was still angry, wouldn't she be the first one to get scolded?

That's why the strange silent scene just now occurred.

Since Su Mo spoke first and expressed his thoughts, I knew what he was thinking, so I naturally didn't have to worry about anything anymore. What's more, we are all family, so there is no need to hold so many grudges. So it can be considered as taking advantage of the situation and giving both parties a way out.

Afterwards, the two sides discussed some issues concerning Yunjin, and Ningguang also gained a better understanding of the specific situation between them.

After saying that, Su Mo stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Since Keqing had sent him there and everything had been said, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

Su Mo left and Ningguang saw him off.

Before leaving, Su Mo suddenly asked, "Sister Xiyue, do you think people would do something for no reason?"

"Why do you ask?" Ningguang asked in confusion, then teased, "Why, are you still holding a grudge against me for getting you engaged?"

Su Mo smiled and shook his head. "How dare I? I know you're doing this for my own good, but next time you can ask for my opinion. That way I'll know your good intentions and avoid any misunderstandings. As for this, I just thought of asking casually."

Ningguang nodded and smiled, then fell silent. She knew that Su Mo couldn't be making a fuss, and there must be something wrong. However, since he didn't say anything after she asked, she wouldn't pursue it too much to avoid causing that situation again.

Ningguang considered for a moment before speaking, "Before that, I'd like to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Su Mo asked.

Ningguang asked, "What do you think our relationship would have been like if that incident hadn't happened?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and smiled, "Then maybe Tianquanxing is facing a person with whom they have little interaction, or maybe the people standing here today are the other two people."

Ningguang smiled and nodded, "That's exactly the truth."

"I understand." Su Mo nodded, then turned and left.

Ningguang looked at Su Mo's back, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Su Mo, if there is something, you must tell me. We can solve it together."

Although Su Mo didn't say anything, she was still a little worried that Su Mo would make his own decision again, so she couldn't help but want to remind him again.

Su Mo smiled and said, "I know. Just don't find me annoying when the time comes, Sister Xiyue."

Ningguang glared at Su Mo and said, "That depends on what you're talking about."

Ningguang turned and walked into the house, while Su Mo walked slowly forward in the dark streets.

"You're back?" Keqing quipped, looking at Ningguang who had returned. "How was the chat?"

Ningguang nodded. "It's okay. We've talked about it."

Keqing nodded, "That's good." Then she looked behind Ningguang, "Where's Su Mo?"

"gone."

"Okay." After hearing Ningguang's answer, Keqing's tone was inexplicably lost. Although she was prepared, she still felt uncomfortable.

Ningguang looked at Keqing, who was emotionally stable but a little worried, and a sense of doubt arose in her heart for no reason. The other party had just persuaded her to go and talk to Su Mo, and now she didn't make a big fuss about Su Mo's affairs, nor did she cry like last time. There was always something wrong with this stable mood.

Is this the calm before the storm, or a sign of complete despair?

This point needs to be made clear.

Ningguang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Do you really not want to say anything more about Yunjin? Perhaps you want to express anger or sadness?"

Keqing Ningguang laughed, "Whatever you say, it's already like this."

Ningguang nodded. "You're more open-minded than I thought."

Keqing pretended to be mature and sighed, "I have to let it go. You know Su Mo is like that. If I complain to him or make a scene, what if he thinks I'm too emotional and annoys me? Besides, I'm not that kind of person."

Ningguang scoffed. "Let's not talk about Su Mo for now. He definitely doesn't dislike you. At most, he just doesn't want to pay attention to you. And after what you did last time, you said you didn't care, do you think I would believe you?"

Keqing nodded and said frankly, "Yes, I still remember what happened last time, so I don't want to do that. It will only make him feel more lost and alienated. He won't dislike me, but it will still make me feel uncomfortable. And Yunjin actually stabbed me in the back. One day, I will personally get back at him."

"No, I'm going now!"

Keqing stood up and threw off the quilt to get out of bed. However, she felt a sharp pain as she took a step into empty space. "Ouch! Quick, quick, quick!"

Ningguang rolled her eyes, but did not stop moving. She supported Keqing's hand, which was frantically waving, and let her sit down on the edge of the bed.

Keqing rubbed her ankle and muttered, "Forget it, let her go for now. I'll go after my foot is healed."

Ningguang sighed, "I advise you to save yourself the trouble. Instead of looking for her, you might as well focus on Su Mo. Besides, I always feel that you can't beat her."

Keqing was unhappy. "Why do you say that? If they weren't sneaking around, how could I not know? If it came down to a one-on-one fight, who would win? She just took advantage of my momentary insecurity and slid in next to Su Mo. She's just a thieving hamster who steals other people's happiness."

Ningguang mercilessly exposed her, "If you truly had everything under control, how could you possibly have given him the time to approach Su Mo?"

"I..." Keqing was speechless for a moment.

Before Keqing could say anything, Ningguang continued, "Don't say it's because you're busy with work. Even the famous figures in Yunhan Society are busy..."

Keqing retorted in shame and indignation, "I wasn't prepared. I didn't know Su Mo was so easily taken in. That damned Su Mo was so steadfast in his faith with me, how could he be so easily deceived by Yun Jin? And you, Sister Xiyue, you only serve to embolden others and destroy my prestige."

Ningguang didn't want to pay any attention to Keqing.

She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She had only focused on Keqing, but hadn't paid enough attention to Su Mo personally, including his thoughts, experiences, and the people around him.

It seems that Mr. Yun really needs to have a good talk.

Ningguang thought to herself, then looked at Keqing, "You should work hard. What you end up with will depend entirely on fate. But you have to be mentally prepared. You know Su Mo's personality. Once he sets his eyes on someone, he won't let go unless he crosses his line."

Keqing nodded. "I know that. More haste makes waste! And I may not lose!" There was a hint of determination in her tone.

Ningguang didn't care about Keqing's determination. Instead, she was thinking about the future direction of things between them. As for whether to intervene again, it depends on the situation. Otherwise, it might be more harm than good like this time.

……

Last night I watched the Swords of Thirteen and the trailer for Season 2.

It’s really exciting!

One man and one sword can turn the tide!

Is the son of the second sage worthy of engraving?

I will carve this sword on the coffin of your ancestors!

As soon as this sentence came out, I got goosebumps all over my body and felt very excited!

As expected of that bastard, in one word, awesome!

It's this fierce word, it seems wrong, it's not as good-looking as in the video, π_π

But the entire animation is said to take twelve years. By then we will be old and will sigh that life is impermanent and our youth will be completely gone.
