Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember
Chapter 162 Keqing's Surprise
As expected of a demon god who is nearly 7,000 years old, as the saying goes, people become wiser with age, and this stone is no slouch either, speaking in a roundabout way.
The two of them sat and talked for a long time, but He Li still didn't understand what she meant.
like him?
It seems to be, but it also seems not to be. She herself seems to be confused.
But never mind, as she said, there is a lot of time ahead, no need to rush to sort it out.
There will be no emperor and no war in the future, only Zhong Li and He Li. There is still a lot of time, and there is still a lot of future for them. Isn't it for the present that they work so hard?
So embrace life.
...
"You don't know me? I felt uncomfortable when I saw the snake showing off its power, so I stabbed a transparent hole in it."
He Li put down his wine glass and gestured.
Zhong Li put her arms on the table, supported her chin and looked at him with a smile:
"and then?"
"That octopus dared to bring a tsunami here, so of course I will teach him a lesson,"
"Um,"
Zhong Li smiled gently.
"It's just that the octopus was too disappointing. When it made eye contact with me, I almost peed my pants."
He recounted what happened that day in detail, as if saying to Zhong Li - See, you didn't trust the wrong person.
“Well done,”
Zhong Li praised him and poured him more wine.
"It's a pity that I still couldn't save Guiliji."
He Li felt a little regretful.
Those things that seemed "still the same" to him were not known to others.
"You've done very well. Isn't Liyue still here?"
Zhong Li looked at him softly:
"Besides...you have paid a lot to do this,"
For example, the miraculous deletion of his own existence. If he was not a demon god with a special premonition, he would not even have noticed the abnormality.
"worth,"
He just shook his head and smiled.
"Is it..."
Zhong Li looked at him quietly, and suddenly smiled:
"Then, live a good life from now on."
...
As dusk finally fell, the stage in the center of the square gradually stopped playing. After a short break and dinner, the night show began.
At the most pleasant and leisurely time of the day, Liyue Harbor became even more lively, with layers of clouds dyeing the harbor completely golden.
"And from now on, I only hope that you can formally agree to one request of mine,"
Zhong Li and He Li were strolling on the street, with an invisible barrier around them preventing them from talking.
ask?
He Li had never heard Zhong Li say this word before. He waved his hand:
"Well, just say it."
"I just hope that in the future, some things can be handled by someone other than myself."
This was not the first time Zhong Li said this to He Li.
But this time, He Li heard something different.
Before, it was the war between demons and gods, this time it is a peaceful era; before, it was the Emperor against him, this time it is Zhong Li against him;
The situation is different, so the meaning is naturally different.
Before: "Liyue is yours and mine, you don't have to bear it alone."
And now: 'You don't have to bear the consequences alone.'
That's why Zhong Li said it was a "request".
He Li suddenly raised her head. As the sun set, her dark golden hair became more dazzling. She smiled and said:
"You can actually rely on me sometimes. I'm different from Ping Liuyun and the others."
It's a straight ball attack.
"..."
His heart skipped a beat, and He Li quickly looked away.
Of course he knew what Zhong Li meant by this.
Zhong Li knew who his 'real enemy' was, and she also knew how terrifying the other party was.
Knowing this, she still...
Zhong Li's words naturally put herself and the other party on opposite sides.
Why did she say that she was different from Ah Ping and Liu Yun? It was because she really had some strength to fight against them...
She dared to do it for him...
This sentence made him stunned for a moment, and he looked straight at the person in front of him.
After an unknown amount of time, he clenched his fists and suddenly turned around, saying in a somewhat embarrassed tone:
"Oh, I'm a man, how can I let a woman protect me? Just wait and see -"
"Ok?"
Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, still not quite reacting to his response.
But the next moment, she suddenly laughed. Under the setting sun, her laughter was particularly hearty and happy. It could be said to be the most comfortable one in a thousand years.
The golden afterglow sprinkled on the beautiful face, and the dark golden hair swayed in the wind:
"Then I'll watch."
...
"Wow, what on earth is Ningguang doing? Why are there suddenly so many public areas that need to be used together?"
Keqing felt that she had a very bad day today. She thought that waking up refreshed was a good sign, but she didn't expect it to be the end. As soon as she entered the General Affairs Department, a steady stream of documents were delivered.
It's not that she doesn't want to go to work, but these documents just appeared today, and they are all printed with the permission of Tianquan Star. There is a stage here and an activity there, and she has to coordinate and arrange the location of these.
Tuning is her job, but she has to know what it is for, to perform in such a grand manner.
But...but...Ningguang...
"Surprise...Surprise, surprise, what a surprise..."
There was no surprise, but Keqing was so busy. If she had to be like this every day, she would have no energy to consider future land planning and other things.
It seems that Ningguang also explained that the staff also smiled and said "this is a surprise" when facing her questions.
I had lunch and dinner delivered from Wanmintang. The delivery girl was very cold and looked like she couldn't find out anything.
Forget it, it’s probably just an excuse Ningguang made up because she doesn’t want her to meddle in other people’s business. Hasn’t she done enough before?
In this way, Keqing finished her work only when the sun set and the moonlight officially fell on the port.
In fact, she had finished all the work arrangements when the sun was setting, but she also set many tasks for herself - the departure of the Emperor really exposed many shortcomings, and as a Seven Star, she needed to complete these as soon as possible.
Liyue must be humanity’s own Liyue.
"Well - it's so late, but I still have to go."
Stretching her slightly numb arms and waist, Keqing stepped into the night.
But as soon as she got off Yujing Terrace, she noticed something different. The entire Liyue Harbor was flashing with lights, and countless sounds filled the air.
"It's so lively today,"
The stage was the location she had chosen for the office, so it was no surprise.
"Want to go check it out?"
She muttered to herself, but soon she shook her head.
"Let's go there first. It's a bit late today."
...
"Sister Zhong Li, how did you know there is a statue here, and there are relatively few people?"
Unlike the bustling streets, the location chosen by He Li and Zhong Li was a bit deserted.
"This place is closer to Yujingtai, so it's naturally not as noisy as other places,"
Zhong Li and He Li stood under the statue. She nodded and said,
He Li was very interested when he heard that he had a statue, but he found several statues in Liyue Harbor. There were many people around, and the statues were hung with all kinds of colorful things, which made him dizzy.
So the two of them came here.
As expected, the statue near the Political Department was not as noisy as before. People who came only put down a few flowers and left.
"You are an expert,"
He Li walked forward with a smile and praise.
He picked up a purple flower from under the statue and looked up to admire it.
This statue should be taken from the scene of that day, which is what people call "The Battle of the Two Demons at Sea". His posture is holding the Homa staff and moving forward courageously.
However, the people obviously thought that he was at a disadvantage in that battle, so when he was sculpted, he was given a tragic and heroic atmosphere.
He Li pinched his chin and nodded:
"That's right, but it would be better if I could exert 10% or 20% of my momentum at that time. But this is also OK, after all, dust has no form..."
As he spoke, he tried to look back at Zhong Li, but the next moment—
A flash of lightning flashed before my eyes.
"who!?"
He Li held the lightning wedge, and his eyes suddenly pierced into the distance.
Zhong Li, who was standing aside, also turned his gaze over.
"What crime should you be punished for insulting the heroes of Liyue?"
A tired but still heroic voice sounded. Before the voice fell, the thunder wedge in He Li's hand flashed, and a cat-headed girl instantly appeared in front of him, raising her head and glaring at him.
...
Keqing skillfully took a purple flower from the vase and put it on her head. She was about to go to the old place as she was used to.
But when she turned a corner, she couldn't help but frown.
She saw two people standing next to the statue in the moonlight, one of them holding a purple flower.
If she said she came to offer flowers and pay her respects, she wouldn't think it was a big deal.
But under the moonlight, she clearly saw the flower in the man's hand. It was a purple flower. Yes, it was the same as the one she was wearing on her head.
After a day of exposure to the sun, the purple flower in his hand had wilted a little. It was clearly the one he had placed there in the morning.
How could this be possible? How dare someone take flowers that were meant for worship? Or their own?
Keqing was about to step forward to argue,
Unexpectedly, the man spoke:
"It would be better if this statue had a bit more of my aura—"
! ! ! ? ? ?
As the voice reached her ears, Keqing also smelled a scent of alcohol.
Her brows darkened completely.
He raised his hand, pulled out the hairpin and threw it away.
...
"Ok?"
He Li was scolded by the cat-headed girl who appeared out of nowhere.
She stiffened her neck and glared angrily:
"The god of the world is not as good as a drunkard like you?"
Drunk? He Li subconsciously lowered his head to look at himself, and then he came to his senses - it turned out that this girl thought he was drunk and crazy.
I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Zhong Li.
This girl has misunderstood.
Damn, what is this?
He Li patted his clothes, and the smell of alcohol on his body disappeared immediately.
He looked clean and refreshed again. He smiled and clasped his fists towards Keqing and said:
"I was rude, I apologize, girl."
"..."
Keqing was stunned by the other party's straightforward apology. She turned her gaze to his female companion and frowned in surprise:
"Ms. Zhong Li?"
"He is my old friend. I haven't seen him for many years. He drank a little too much today."
She smiled and cupped her hands.
She likes this girl Keqing very much. She has a kind of aura that belongs to He Li and Gui Zhong.
But this was their first meeting...haha, she was quite curious to see how things would develop next.
"Is that so...Ms. Zhong Li's old friend..."
She frowned and looked He Li up and down.
Zhong Li is a guest official of Wangsheng Hall, and Wangsheng Hall is a state-owned enterprise, so Keqing has naturally dealt with her before.
She knew very well what kind of person Zhong Li was. Since she had guaranteed him, there should be no problem with this person.
There is no problem with the identity, but what about the character...
He mocked the hero, which showed his arrogance. His eyes were slack, which showed his irresponsibility. He was drunk and talking nonsense, which showed his lack of self-control. His clothes were sloppy, which showed his vulgarity. Even his handsome appearance, which was the only thing he liked, was not created by him.
Not very good.
The cat head suddenly raised its face and glared at He Li, stretching out its hand.
"give me back!"
He Li asked doubtfully:
"Back to you?"
"this,"
She pointed unhappily at the purple flower pinned on her hair, then pointed at another one that was already half wilted in his hand.
He Li immediately understood and nodded with a smile:
"Oh, so it was you who gave it to me. I like it very much."
And you like it very much... What's the point of liking it? It's not a gift for you.
"I like to grow my own crops,"
Keqing resisted the urge to curse, closed her mouth, snatched the purple flower, and placed it under the statue together with the one on her head.
Looking at the girl squatting under the statue and quietly arranging flowers, He Li and Zhong Li looked at each other.
He smiled and continued:
"Is it possible that this flower would be better given to the person himself?"
Keqing really didn't want to pay attention to him, but his words were too... outrageous.
"Is this your first day in Liyue?"
"no,"
"Then why don't you know who the Earthly God is? What does that mean? If it weren't for Ms. Zhong Li's guarantee for you, just based on what you just said, I would have a reason to arrest you."
Keqing said viciously.
"Well, I know all that,"
He Li nodded:
"But didn't you ever think he would come back?"
"Of course I have thought about it, but what's the point of thinking about it? It's just a fantasy after all. It would be better to save some energy to realize his ambitions. Wouldn't it be better to use it to welcome him then? Oh - forget it, why did I tell you so much..."
Keqing sighed, shook her head and stopped talking to the people behind her.
It's useless to think too much if you can't realize it.
"Is it..."
He Li and Zhong Li couldn't help but smile. This Keqing girl was really cute.
It seems that his belief has not disappeared after thousands of years. Yes, the mortal world is the mortal world, and the mortal world is Liyue. As long as Liyue is not destroyed, the mortal world will not be destroyed.
Now that he's back, give them a little gift.
He thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and said softly,
"Then I wish that the world will continue to bless you from now on."
Countless golden dusts were seen coming out of the statue, enveloping the girl squatting under it.
Just like a little girl sitting on the golden Milky Way more than a decade ago, the fatigue from a hard day's work instantly disappeared.
"Ok?"
Keqing was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, with a huge surprise filling her mind.
This miracle happened again after many years.
She subconsciously turned her head to look behind her, but there was only an empty night.
Ms. Zhong Li and her friend have left.
Before she could think about it,
call out--
Clusters of fireworks suddenly exploded from the night sky, completely lighting up the night sky of Liyue Harbor, and the sky and the earth completely merged into one.
In the most conspicuous position, four characters made of fire appeared.
She read aloud subconsciously:
"Welcome home."
She seemed to realize what Ningguang's so-called surprise was.
