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

Once upon a time there was a young girl whose parents died when she was young, leaving her alone. Her family was extremely poor and she didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.

Because she was young and a girl, no one was willing to hire her whether she was looking for a job or helping to load and unload goods.

In order to fill her stomach, the young girl could only wear the worn-out clothes left by her parents and wander the streets, looking for anything to fill her stomach. Later, in order to survive, she became a beggar. Sometimes, for a bite of food, she would even compete with stray dogs on the roadside for food without caring about her face.

Just like this, day after day I live in this world.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. It is okay in summer and autumn, as she can barely keep warm with the clothes left by her parents.

But in order to keep warm in winter, she wore thin shirts one after another, and only by wearing several shirts together could she barely resist the winter cold.

But winter is not just about keeping warm.

One winter night, the girl was walking on the road in her straw sandals as usual, hoping to find some food to fill her stomach.

Although the girl was wearing several pieces of clothing that could protect her from the cold wind, these clothes were badly worn and could not completely block the biting cold wind.

A feeling of hunger filled her whole body. Her strength was gradually consumed by the dual torture of hunger and cold. Every breath she took seemed like a struggle against fate.

She strolled in the winter moonlit night, trying to find something to eat, but the winter night was long and everything was withered, so where could she find any edible food?

In order to survive, she began to knock on doors from house to house in the hope of getting some food. She would be grateful even for some leftovers.

Unfortunately, no one was willing to give alms to a beggar who came from nowhere. The girl was almost in despair.

Her stomach was empty, and the feeling of hunger was like an invisible hand, tightly gripping her heart.

She walked alone in the snow, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for survival in this desolate winter night.

However, there was nothing around except snow-covered trees and silent houses.

The girl finally felt the limit of her body. Each step she took became heavier and heavier, until finally, her strength was exhausted and she collapsed helplessly to the snow-covered ground.

The world around her became blurry, her vision began to become hazy, as if even breathing became a luxury.

At that moment, the girl felt an unprecedented peace.

There is no more invasion of cold, no more torture of hunger, no more fear of loneliness.

She lay on the snow, looking at the starry sky, a kind of transcendent tranquility emerged in her heart, and she calmly waited for the arrival of death.

Just before she lost consciousness

A faint candlelight appeared at the edge of her sight, accompanied by a warm greeting, breaking the silence of the winter night.

"Grandpa, she's so pitiful, why don't we take her back..."

……

That night, the girl seemed to feel unprecedented warmth and fell asleep peacefully.

When she woke up again, she found herself in an unknown house. She shuddered all over and looked around nervously.

When the girl found that there was no one around, she felt relieved. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, she began to panic and planned to get out of bed and leave quickly.

At this moment, the door of the house was pushed open and a boy walked in. Looking at the girl sitting up on the bed, the boy was extremely surprised.

"Oh, sister, you're awake. I thought I had picked up a dead person."

The girl couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard what the boy said, but she didn't say much.

Looking at the silent girl, the boy didn't care. He turned and ran to the kitchen, took out the steamed bun that had been prepared long ago and handed it to the girl.

"Here, eat it. This is made by my grandfather himself. It's delicious."

The girl looked at the food in the boy's hand, a hint of desire flashed in her eyes, and then she calmed down.

Seeing the girl's hesitant look, the boy couldn't help but laugh:

"Eat it if you want. I won't poison you."

It seemed that the boy's words touched the girl. Her expression changed and she grabbed the food and started eating.

"Cough...cough..."

The girl ate very quickly and choked, but she ignored it and continued eating.

The boy saw the girl's miserable appearance and hurried to pour her a glass of water.

The girl took the cup and drank the water eagerly, the water overflowing from the corners of her mouth and soaking the sheets.

As if sensing the boy's surprised gaze, the girl calmed down after being satisfied. Then her cheeks turned slightly red as she nibbled the remaining small piece of steamed bun in small bites.

Seeing the girl like this, the boy couldn't help but laugh. He leaned his hands on the edge of the bed and looked at her curiously:

"Sister, my name is Su Mo, what's your name?"

The girl did not rush to answer the boy's question, and the boy did not rush her and just looked at her quietly.

After a moment, the girl slowly spoke:

"Xiyue"

This was a name she thought of on the spur of the moment, because the girl knew that in this world, it was better to be careful with strangers, even if they were her saviors. This was the truth she had learned during her wanderings.

"Oh, Joy?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"This name is really festive."

"It's... Xiyue"

The girl's face was filled with black lines as she corrected him: "Xi means morning light, Yue means moon."

Su Mo suddenly realized: "Oh, Xiyue, this is a very good name."

"The character 'xi' represents the first ray of sunshine in the morning, implying brightness; the character 'yue' represents the bright moon, representing the beautiful night scene. Together, 'xi' and 'yue' represent brightness and beauty."

"It implies radiance, the rising sun, a promising future, and transcendence, beauty, and wisdom."

Faced with the boy's generous praise, the girl's cheeks turned slightly red, with a hint of smile on the corners of her mouth, as if she was feeling complacent about the boy's praise.

Su Mo looked at the girl and continued:

"Sister, my name is Su Mo, Su, the stranger's Mo. Sister, please don't get it wrong."

Xiyue nodded slightly to show that she understood.

……

Ningguang felt a little thirsty, so she picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips.

As if she sensed an unusual gaze, she looked up and saw Keqing looking at her expectantly.

"Keep going, why did you stop? I want to know what happened next." Keqing urged

Ningguang rolled her eyes at her.

"You want to tire me to death? Let me drink some water to slow down."

A moment later

Ningguang then continued:

"Later, with the boy's help, Xiyue successfully set up her first stall, and then she..."

"Wait a minute, um... I still want you to tell the story from Xiyue's perspective."

Keqing frowned and raised her hand to interrupt.

Ningguang looked at Keqing with a frown on her face.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Keqing's face:

"Well, isn't this perspective more immersive?"
