As night falls, the sky is dotted with stars and the moon hangs high in the sky, its bright moonlight illuminating the way home.

Keqing walked alone on the streets of Liyue Harbor, which was empty at a glance.

"Is it already so late..."

Keqing muttered to herself.

As she spoke, she quickened her pace and walked towards her home.

Among the seven stars, apart from Ganyu, Keqing can be regarded as the second person who works overtime without regard for her life.

Since becoming Yuheng Star, she has to work overtime until very late every day before going home, and she enjoys it.

This is a small house with two bedrooms and a living room. Although the furnishings in the house are not complicated, it is full of comfort and tranquility.

On the bookshelf, the carefully placed Rock King puppets seem to be silently telling the owner's preferences, adding a special interest to this cozy little nest.

In fact, with Keqing's current status and family background, she can definitely own a luxurious mansion in her own family.

Born into a prominent family in Liyue, Keqing has lived like a princess since childhood.

The love of her parents and the wealth of her family are things that ordinary people cannot even dream of in their lifetime.

Some people are born in Rome, while others are born as cows and horses.

Keqing could have lived her life like this, but being a talented and intelligent girl, this kind of life is not what she wants.

In order to live her own life, Keqing moved out of her family after she became an adult and bought this small house outside on her own.

There are no family constraints here, no nagging from parents, and no one to talk to.

Keqing went into the house and changed out of the purple high heels she had been wearing all day. Her small feet wrapped in black stockings looked small and cute.

But this beautiful view was soon obscured by a pair of pink cat slippers.

Then Keqing took out her favorite golden shrimp balls from the storage box.

Put it in a plate and put it in the pot to heat it. At the same time, go to the bathroom and fill the bathtub with hot water to wash away all the fatigue.

A few moments

The black and purple cat ear headband was casually thrown on the bed, and the black stockings on the legs were nowhere to be found. Without the restraint, the pair of jade legs were as delicate as sculptures, like the most beautiful music, intoxicating.

The blue gauze coat slipped off gently, revealing her smooth skin to the air. Her skin, white with a hint of red, was particularly attractive, like a beautiful painting, dazzling to the eyes. She exuded a captivating charm.

The water in the bathtub overflowed as her body slowly sat in, and her two white arms rested on the outer edge.

"Hmm..." Keqing let out a soft moan of satisfaction.

The soft purple hair fell into the water, was gently wrapped by it, and spread out slowly.

The empty room with only one person in it makes people feel very comfortable.

The slender "snow lotus roots" overlapped together, giving the bath the most perfect compliment, with a faint fragrance.

Keqing slowly immersed half of her head in the warm bathtub water. The water waves gently brushed her cheeks, and mist swirled on the water surface, blurring his vision.

Then he slowly exhaled a series of tiny bubbles from his mouth. They jumped and burst on the water surface, making a slight "gurgling" sound, adding a lively and playful atmosphere to this peaceful bathing time.

Looking at the swirling mist in front of her, Keqing was not only a little dazed, but her thoughts drifted back to her carefree childhood.

In an alley in Liyue, two children are always inseparable.

"Su Mo, hurry up! We're going to be late for the Immortal Invitation Ceremony soon."

The girl waved to the boy behind her.

"Okay, I'll be there right away..." The young man panted, supporting his knees with his hands.

"Keqing, the ceremony of inviting the immortals...it...it won't start for another hour...no need...no need to be so anxious," Su Mo replied breathlessly.

"Who said that? There are so many people attending the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. When we get there, we can only watch from afar. We won't be able to appreciate the Emperor's elegance up close..."

"Hey, hurry up, your body really lacks exercise. I must improve your physical condition another day."

Keqing looked at Su Mo viciously.

"Okay... okay... I'll listen to you..." Su Mo felt very helpless.

……

"Wow, the Rock King's figure is so handsome, I really want to get close to him~"

Keqing and Su Mo were walking on the way back. Hearing the girl being so infatuated, they couldn't help but roll their eyes and shake their heads.

I hope you will still have such expectations after you know that Emperor Rock King is a street urchin who idles around all day, goes out without Mora, and only listens to music in brothels when he has nothing to do.

Suddenly, the girl's eyes became firm, and as if she had made up her mind, she turned to Su Mo and said, "Su Mo, I've decided. I want to become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue!"

Su Mo: "..."

Sister, you don’t have to be so crazy about chasing stars.

I know that you will become Yuheng Star in the future, and I have thought that the reason you became one of the Seven Stars was to realize your great ambitions, but I really didn't expect that the reason for your struggle would be so outrageous.

"Huh? Why aren't you talking?"

Keqing couldn't help but feel a little confused.

What? That making it your life's goal to chase stars was the right choice?

"Ah, yes, yes, Keqing's ideas are indeed much more advanced than mine. I support you!"

Su Mo gave Keqing a thumbs up as he spoke.

Seeing Su Mo's thumbs-up, Keqing couldn't help but blush and lowered her head shyly.

"Hey, Su Mo..."

"Ok?"

"If... I mean, if one day, I reach my ideal destination, will you still stay by my side?" the girl said with anticipation.

Keqing still remembers very clearly the boy's serious and determined answer.

"Yes! I definitely will. Even if I can't, I will find a way to do it!"

……

When Keqing thought back to the past, she would think of the people and things related to it, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing, causing a big bubble to appear on the water surface, which suddenly burst.

Keqing suddenly seemed to think of something, and her cheeks turned slightly red. Her head, which was originally immersed in the water, lowered again.

……

That day was Keqing's birthday.

Because of her birthday, the General Affairs Department specially approved Keqing to have a day off.

It was on that day that Su Mo confessed his love to Keqing in the alley of his childhood.

That day, Keqing was invited by Su Mo, who wanted to go for a walk in Liyue Harbor with her. He said that they wanted to walk through the alley that they often visited in their childhood. Keqing agreed.

When Keqing arrived, she saw Su Mo in the distance, hurriedly hiding something, as if he didn't want anyone to see him.

When Keqing approached, Su Mo heard footsteps and quickly turned around and smiled at Keqing:

"Keqing, you're here!"

"Um"

Only then did Keqing realize that Su Mo seemed a little different today. He was wearing a white coat she had never seen before. It wasn't just the change in clothing, but also the subtle formality of it.

Huh? No, there's something fishy going on.

"What's wrong with you today? You're dressed so formally. I've never seen you wear this kind of clothes before."

Keqing pretended to be calm and asked, staring at Su Mo.

As if trying to see something from his expression.

“No… I’m fine.”

Su Mo's expression instantly turned unnatural.

"Really?"

"Really? I'm going out to see you, so I can't just dress casually.

Keqing noticed Su Mo's unnaturalness, but she chose not to ask any more questions and just smiled lightly.

They walked side by side in the alleys of their childhood, along the familiar paths, reminiscing and discussing those carefree days of their childhood.

The sunlight gently fell on the girl's shoulders, as if it had draped a golden gauze dress over her.

Her skin glows with a delicate pink luster under the sunlight, like exquisite porcelain, which makes people fall in love with her.

The faint fragrance from the hair, mixed with the dazzling sunlight, made Su Mo feel dizzy.

Su Mo couldn't help but feel a little dazed when looking at Keqing like this.

This girl who grew up with me has now grown from a young girl into a graceful beauty.

Just like a beautiful flower in bud waiting to be picked, it exudes its unique charm.

"What's wrong..."

Keqing couldn't help feeling shy as Su Mo kept staring at her. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she glanced away in panic.

Su Mo took a deep breath and gently held Keqing's hand. He looked at her firmly and spoke slowly:

"Keqing, I like you. I don't know when it started, but you have quietly occupied an important place in my heart."

"I like your frankness and cuteness, and I also like how you can be cool sometimes but also gentle and soft."

"I think my love for you is not just that of a friend, but that of a lover."

"I want to take care of you and be with you. I know this may come as a surprise, but please give me a chance to prove my sincerity."

He handed her the gift he had carefully prepared for her—golden shrimp balls and a bouquet of fresh white peach blossoms, his voice trembling with excitement: "Keqing, go out with me!"

Keqing was at a loss for words when faced with the sudden confession. Her eyes became flustered and a blush rose from her collarbone, staining her jade-like cheeks.

He waved his hands wildly and said:

"Su Mo, I...we are not suitable for each other now. I know what you are thinking, but I don't want to ruin our friendship. I...I can't accept you yet."

"During this period of time, you...you should not come to me again. I think we both need some time to calm down."

After saying this, Keqing blushed and ran away without looking back. Su Mo was left alone, stunned for a moment...

-

Thinking back to what Su Mo said that day, Keqing's originally flushed cheeks suddenly turned into a crystal clear apple.

"Su Mo, you idiot"

Keqing pouted and muttered to herself.

"I'm not prepared at all. I'm a girl, so I get shy too~"

Then Keqing looked at the water fiercely, as if Su Mo was right in front of her.

"You came here recklessly to confess your feelings, knowing nothing at all... You're such a complete idiot!"

Fortunately, he has become a Tianshu Star with my help. As long as we wait for a while, his Tianshu Star position will be completely stable, and we can be together openly.

Keqing thought to herself.

Thinking of this, Keqing suddenly regretted not accepting the box of golden shrimp balls. They looked so delicious...

But then she changed her mind and decided to go to Su Mo in person to explain everything after some time.

Wouldn't she still be able to taste the shrimp balls made by Su Mo himself then?

Hehehe, it makes me happy just thinking about it.

Keqing curled up on the bed, holding the limited edition pillow of Geo King tightly in her arms, and her thoughts couldn't help but think of the beautiful life they would have in the future.

What name should I give my child?

Su Qing? Or Su Meng?

"Ah, how embarrassing..."

Keqing's heartbeat quickened at the thought. She shyly buried her face in the pillow. The soft touch of the pillow made her cheeks even hotter. She rolled back and forth hugging the pillow...
