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

----

The night wind kept blowing, blowing Su Mo's clothes. Su Mo felt the biting cold wind and shivered slightly. Just now, because he was in a hurry to get up, he left his coat on the bed at Zhang Yan's house.

He originally thought Ningguang just didn't want to talk in the house, but who knew that even after walking a long distance away from Zhang Yan's house, Ningguang still had no intention of stopping.

Just when Su Mo was confused, Ningguang, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at Su Mo. The moonlight shining on her face made her pretty face look even colder.

Su Mo was a little confused.

Ningguang slowly said, "Su Mo, Keqing is ill." Her voice was calm yet eerily quiet.

"Keqing is ill!?"

Su Mo's shock was beyond words.

He wanted to ask about Keqing's situation immediately, but he hesitated when the words came to his lips. He didn't know how to start. After all, Keqing once said that she didn't want him to disturb her life anymore.

Ningguang seemed to notice Su Mo's dilemma and frowned slightly. "Don't you like Keqing? Why didn't you dare ask about her specific condition even when she fell ill?"

Su Mo stood there, looking a little hesitant.

He was struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he was worried and concerned about Keqing, and on the other hand, he respected Keqing's wishes. He didn't know what to do.

Ningguang looked at Su Mo like this and couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Su Mo, she is sick now, don't you want to go see her!?"

When Su Mo heard Ningguang's words, his expression became complicated. After some inner struggle, he finally regained his composure.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of bitterness in his voice:

"I do like her, but that's all in the past. After all this time, I still feel for her... But she has nothing to do with me anymore. She also told me to stay away from her. She hates me, doesn't she?"

"So you just let her get sick and didn't go see her, huh?"

Su Mo rolled his eyes upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and said firmly, "Ningguang, Keqing is sick. I'm worried about her, but she said she doesn't want me to bother her anymore. She hates seeing me! Also, are you sure my presence won't make her condition worse?"

"Is this the reason why you don't go?!" Ningguang's voice became much louder, and she sounded very excited.

Su Mo said helplessly, "Ningguang, how can I make you understand? It's not that I don't want to go, but she doesn't want me to appear in front of her at all. Even if I go, what's the point?"

Ningguang looked at Su Mo like this, and then thought of Keqing who was exhausted for him, and she suddenly became furious.

"Snap!" A crisp sound resounded through the night sky.

Ningguang suddenly attacked and slapped Su Mo hard in the face.

Bai Shi, who was standing by, was surprised to see this scene. She had followed Ningguang for so many years, but she had never seen Ningguang lose her composure like this, not to mention the extreme action just now. She could not associate her with the usually calm Lord Ningguang at all.

Su Mo was also a little confused. He didn't expect Ningguang to hit him!

"Ningguang, what are you doing!" Su Mo came back to his senses and started to get angry.

No matter what happens, she can't hit anyone.

Yes, I am very conflicted, but that is not a reason for you to hit me!

Looking at the somewhat angry Su Mo, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes. She was indeed a little emotional just now, and she couldn't help but hit Su Mo.

However, when her thoughts drifted to Keqing lying on the hospital bed, her gaze became firm again.

Ningguang took a deep breath, then said to Baishi beside her: "Baishi, you should leave first." Her voice returned to its usual calmness.

Although Bai Shi was surprised, she did not ask any more questions. She bowed respectfully and left, leaving Ningguang and Su Mo alone to face each other.

Ningguang's eyes flashed with pain, and her words were filled with blame and disappointment. "Su Mo, no wonder Grandpa said you were a restless person when you were little. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems he was right."

Su Mo was stunned when he heard this. Obviously, this title was full of surprise and shock to him.

His voice was filled with confusion and anxiety: "Grandpa? How...how do you know what Grandpa said?"

Looking at Ningguang's disapproving tone, Su Mo's tone became even more stern and suspicious: "Who are you? How do you know?!"

Ningguang sneered.

"Who am I? Who do you think I am!?"

Su Mo looked at Ning Guang who was confident, and then made a series of guesses in his mind.

Grandpa has passed away for more than ten years. Only he and Keqing know what he said. How could Ningguang know?

More than ten years ago?

wrong!

And Xiyue!

If he remembered correctly, Xiyue said the same thing back then.

Thinking of this, Su Mo looked at Ningguang with disbelief on his face.

"Are you Sister Xiyue!?" Su Mo exclaimed, his voice filled with shock and uncertainty. He could hardly believe his own guess.

Hearing Su Mo's answer, Ningguang's lips curled up slightly, but soon became gloomy again.

"Yes, it's me!"

Su Mo was overjoyed when he heard Ningguang's affirmative answer.

No wonder Ningguang knew what her grandfather said back then.

No wonder Ningguang found a way to escort him when he went to Inazuma.

If Ningguang is the Xiyue of that year, everything would make sense.

Thinking of this, Su Mo was in a good mood and asked:

"Sister Xiyue, where have you been all these years? Do you know how much I miss you? Also, why did you leave quietly back then?"

Looking at Su Mo's expectant eyes, Ningguang's heart seemed to relax a little, but soon hardened again. Her voice became serious again:

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Su Mo, Keqing is still lying in bed. Don't you plan to go see her?"

Su Mo's face showed embarrassment: "Keqing said that I can't get close to her life, so we can only be friends at best. I'm worried that if I go, she will feel uncomfortable."

“Pedantic!!!”

Ningguang's scolding cut through the night sky.

"Where did that erratic temper you had as a child go? You always acted unconventionally, didn't you? What's going on now? Even at this moment, you're still trying to save face for your damn pride. If you have such pride, then why didn't you dare pursue her again after she rejected you? Or are you just a complete coward?!"

Facing Ningguang's questioning, Su Mo remained silent.

Firstly, Ningguang was the original Xiyue, and Su Mo didn't want to argue with her. Secondly, what Ningguang said was indeed true, and Su Mo couldn't argue with it.

Seeing Su Mo remain silent, Ningguang's anger intensified: "Did you hear that?!"

Su Mo nodded silently, looking like a child who had made a mistake and was speechless under the scolding of his parents.
