Ganyu and Keqing stood outside the Moon Sea Pavilion, looking at each other with a trace of astonishment and confusion on their faces. They had never thought that Ningguang would be so "ruthless" to drive them out.

For a moment, the two fell into silence, and no one knew how to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Ganyu, have you decided where to go for a stroll tomorrow?" Keqing spoke first, trying to break the awkward atmosphere. She turned to look at Ganyu beside her and asked softly.

Ganyu was slightly stunned when she heard Keqing's question, as if she had not expected the other party to say that suddenly. She lowered her head, her eyes fell on the ground, and began to think seriously.

"Where should I go for a stroll..." Ganyu muttered to herself, and various possible places kept flashing through her mind. The streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor, the bustling market, the quiet mountains and forests, or the seaside... Each option made her feel a little excited, but she was not sure which one was the most suitable.

For a moment, Ganyu fell into deep thought, and the air around her seemed to become heavy because of her silence. Keqing looked at Ganyu quietly without interrupting her, because she knew that Ganyu needed some time to make a decision.

Finally, Ganyu shook her head gently, her tone filled with confusion and helplessness: "I don't know... I was always busy with work before, and I hardly had time to rest. Today, I suddenly got a day off granted by Lady Ningguang. I was really caught off guard and I was completely unprepared."

Her beautiful eyes revealed a kind of confusion about the future, as if this sudden free time had made her lose her sense of direction.

Perhaps, for Ganyu, who is used to the intense work pace, vacation has become a strange and disturbing experience.

Looking at Ganyu like this, Keqing felt a little distressed, then she held her hand and said.

"If you don't know where to go tomorrow, come with me to the Wanwen Collection to buy the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Then we can appreciate the literary talent of the gods' followers. I am still very curious."

"Okay, to be honest, I'm curious too." Ganyu responded with a smile, the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by anticipation for tomorrow.

"Then it's a deal. I'll come find you tomorrow, and then we'll go to Wanwen Collection together." Keqing said with a smile.

Just as Keqing was about to go back, she noticed that she was holding Ganyu's hand. Her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly let go of her hand and ran away.

Ganyu looked at Keqing's departing back, feeling the remaining warmth in her hands, her old face slightly reddened, and an inexplicable emotion arose in her heart.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was fine. The long-awaited new book release date for the people of Liyue Harbor finally arrived. Ganyu got up early and dressed up carefully. She wore a light blue gown with a white skirt, which made her look fresh and refined.

But when she arrived at the door, she found Keqing had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, Ganyu." Keqing greeted with a smile. She was wearing a beautiful outfit today, a red top and a black skirt, showing her vitality and capability.

The two walked side by side, talking and laughing along the way. Soon, they arrived at Wanwen Collection House.

However, as soon as they arrived, they were shocked by the long queue in front of them.

"There are too many people. How long will it take to wait?"

Keqing felt a little discouraged when looking at the scene in front of her. They thought they had gotten up early enough, but they still underestimated the popularity of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Looking at the scene in front of them, it was estimated that many people came here to line up in the early morning. By the time it was their turn, there wouldn't be much time left today.

Even so, neither of them thought of cutting in line, and they honestly came to the end of the line and lined up. When Keqing was feeling annoyed, two people in the distance noticed them, one was tall and thin named Li Si, and the other was short and fat named Zhang San.

"Third brother, look at those two. They are dressed elegantly and made of fine fabrics. They are obviously the daughters of wealthy families. Why don't we choose them?"

When Zhang San heard what Li Si said, he looked over and found that it was just as Li Si said. He nodded and walked towards Keqing and the others, but Li Si suddenly stopped him at this time.

"Third brother, do you think we can really sell it? We have invested all the Moraco we have. If we lose it all, we will be left with nothing."

The two were members of a treasure-stealing group, and their leader was the notorious Sister Baoer in Liyue. Originally, the two were doing quite well in this large treasure-stealing group, especially Zhang San, who had earned a reputation as an outlaw.

However, due to Alicia's visit, the Liyue authorities launched a severe crackdown on these illegal forces, which resulted in them having to behave themselves during this period to avoid being caught.

In this way, they will have no income, and what's worse is that they may be caught by the Qianyan Army at any time because of the special nature of their work. They only know that they should enjoy their money and have never considered saving money.

Therefore, with no profit, he could only watch as the Mora in his hands became less and less, and he was about to starve. When Zhang San went into the city one day, he saw the promotional banner of Alicia, and suddenly he had an idea.

In order to avoid starving to death, Zhang San found Li Si, a fellow villager who was also in the treasure-stealing group. The two decided to take out all their belongings and go to Wanwen Collection overnight to queue up to buy a batch of books, and then sell them at double the price to rich people who were unwilling to queue, commonly known as scalpers.

However, there are very few rich suckers like this. The truly wealthy and famous families basically arrange their servants to buy them. After waiting for Keqing and Ganyu with great difficulty, Zhang San naturally refused to give up.

"Li Si, don't you believe me? If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same hometown, I wouldn't ask you for such a good thing!"

Seeing that Zhang San was angry, Li Si quickly waved his hands and explained.

"Third brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that those two people look a little familiar, and I always feel that something is wrong."

After hearing what Li Si said, Zhang San said with even more disdain.

"Look at you, you're a treasure-stealing group, and you're afraid of these two girls. Don't make a sound later, and watch how I operate."

After Zhang San finished speaking, he ignored Li Si and walked straight towards Keqing and the others. Seeing this, Li Si could only grit his teeth, suppress his uneasiness in his heart, and follow Li Si.

"Ladies, are you queuing up to buy Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhang San came behind Keqing and the others and spoke to them.

Keqing and the other person turned their heads when they heard that. When Zhang San saw their faces clearly, his heart skipped a beat. He turned pale and sweated profusely. Li Si, who was following Zhang San, knelt on the ground with weak knees.

"Is there something wrong with you?"
