Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

"Senior, Ningguang actually has a request for you,"

She held it in her mouth for a long time, and hesitated for a long time before she said:

"Although it may be a little abrupt, Ningguang has thought about it and decided that I should tell you something,"

"What is it? Just tell me."

"You said you wouldn't show up in front of everyone... But Ningguang thinks there's someone who deserves your attention..."

"Who?"

He Li tilted his head slightly, showing some interest:

"You can't even beat Ningguang?"

"If we just talk about 'worthiness', I am...indeed not as good as her,"

Ningguang thought about it, blinked her eyes, and admitted it straightforwardly:

"She is the current Yuheng Star, Keqing."

"Keqing?"

He Li was a little surprised when he heard this name.

Ningguang was even more surprised:

"You know her?"

"More than knowing——"

...

giggle-

This was the first time He Li saw Ningguang trembling with joy.

Perhaps because she was afraid of ruining her manners, she spread out her fan to cover half of her face, but some suppressed laughter still leaked out from behind the fan.

"Sorry... Ningguang is being rude,"

It took her a while to put away the fan, but there was still a hint of smile between her slightly curved brows.

"So, that girl is still my 'successor'? She sends me a copy of that flower every day?"

He Li also wanted to laugh at this time.

What is this... It seems like there is such a setting in the game... But he didn't expect that he would be involved, and he didn't expect that his little fan would appear a thousand years later.

"Two portions,"

Ningguang corrected with a smile:

"Not only that, but every time she sent flowers, she would mutter to herself for a while under your statue... Every time I asked her about it, she would evade the question."

"Is it..."

Ningguang suddenly frowned and said:

"This time you have to ask her to apologize to you."

While speaking, she secretly observed He Li's expression.

He Li waved his hand. The corner of his mouth still had a smile:

"No, I don't take it to heart."

It was just a small matter, and if Ningguang hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten it long ago.

"Just don't mind..."

Ningguang probed:

"So what do you think of that girl..."

"It's cute,"

This is He Li’s evaluation.

Ningguang suddenly felt that being honest and straightforward wasn't a flaw anymore.

...

"Regarding the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius's request for a frank, in-depth, and constructive exchange with Liyue Harbor..."

The ant-like words filled the entire sheet of paper, and similar documents were piled up in a thick pile on the desk.

If you look up, you can see a purple cat head buried behind the pile of documents.

At this moment, those words were spinning in her eyes.

"Tianquanxing highly appreciates this exchange of views and sincerely wishes that the two countries will have a better future..."

This was a document that had been completed a few days ago, and she had specifically asked Ningguang for it - after the Emperor left, the way countries get along with each other was something she felt she needed to learn.

This was an extra task she assigned to herself outside of work.

But for some reason, she couldn't see it now.

call--

The cat head suddenly exhaled, and then his whole body fell limply on the table as if his soul had been sucked out.

She only expressed her regret by twisting her high-heeled toes.

Why should I run away?

Can't you just give him a sincere apology? You can even say a few words formally, or even...look at him again...

Why are you running away?

...

"Just finish eating... Oh, by the way, there is something I want to tell you. I have already told Ningguang that there will be more people coming to share your work. You won't be so busy in the future."

"Ah? Sir, I'm not tired,"

"It's not that you're not tired, it's that you've gotten used to it over time."

"Don't bother..."

"I'm not in any trouble. I just mentioned it briefly. I didn't know about it a few years ago, but now that I'm here, I have to take care of it. Anyway, we can discuss other things, but I have the final say on this matter. That's it."

"Um...Okay, thank you sir,"

"Hmm?" (Nodding his face)

"..."

mua~

"Okay, no need to send me off. Take a good lunch break. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Um--"

...

"Little guy, let's go,"

whispering sound--

The little fox who witnessed the whole process rolled his eyes and pouted, then jumped onto his shoulder.

The fluffy pink tail brushed the back of his neck.

squeak--

Don't forget the reward I gave you for accompanying you.

"I haven't forgotten. I'll go back now..."

As he walked out of Yuehai Pavilion, he paused when he accidentally glanced at the scene.

Not far from Yuehai Pavilion, at the entrance of the General Affairs Department, there was a graceful figure standing on tiptoe, looking in this direction.

When he saw that he was looking over, the figure suddenly lowered his head.

Ah...

He chuckled, moved his feet, and slowly walked down the Yujing Terrace.

...

Following the figure in front of her, Keqing felt as if she was no longer herself, not the resolute and swift self.

She didn't dare to step forward to stop him.

Apologize or admit your mistakes...

I have to find a chance to meet him face to face again. Isn't it for this that I waited for him to come out of Yuehai Pavilion...

As it turned out, she had waited and followed, but she just couldn't muster up the courage to take this last step...

This led to the current situation, where I kept following him for most of the street.

No matter what, I have to make things clear. I still have a lot to say to him.

After walking down another street, Keqing finally gritted her teeth and raised her head.

This time, she found that the figure walking slowly in front of her suddenly disappeared in the crowd.

What about people?

She was anxious and ran forward a few steps.

She looked around with her ponytails swinging, trying to find him in the crowd.

But no,

"Where did you go, sir? How can I..."

Keqing was a little annoyed. She didn't know what happened to her today. Why did she hesitate again and again and miss the opportunity?

This is the opportunity she has been waiting for for more than ten years.

If she misses this chance, she doesn't know if there will be a second chance. She also doesn't know what her husband thinks of her. He probably thinks she is a reckless girl...

...

pop-

Suddenly, my shoulders were tapped twice.

"Sir? Miss Keqing, are you referring to me?"

A gentle voice came from behind.

"I live here, do you want to come in and sit down?"

...

"Sit down first. I'll be gone for a moment."

Keqing didn't know how she got in. When she reacted, a steaming cup of tea had been pushed onto the table in front of her.

She finally came back to her soul.

"Ok...ok, thank you."

He waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, and walked into the inner room.

It was not until he disappeared at the end that Keqing sat back down as if relieved and began to look around.

From the outside, this is a common residential house. Once you go inside, the layout inside will reveal the exquisiteness and carefulness of the owner.

The clean, orderly and spotless living room looks very comfortable. Not only that, there are many interesting small decorations in the living room, including models made of various materials, and slender bottles with beautiful long feathers of different colors. There is a guqin in the corner of the living room, and there are several guns next to the guqin...

So many different marks put together, but not at all messy.

The afternoon sun caressed the windowsill and was then cut into pieces by the window grilles.

The fragrance of tea lingering in the nose, the occasional voice of the teacher not far away, the little fox napping on the table, the sun slanting on her body...

These combined give people an inexplicable sense of tranquility.

Is this your home, sir?

Keqing quietly looked around at everything in the room.

"Little fox, how long has the gentleman lived here?"

It seemed like he wanted to stop sitting there doing nothing, but also seemed like he wanted to find something to do.

She shifted her gaze to the pink-haired fox that was squinting its eyes while lying on the table and basking in the sun.

But the little guy just glanced at her.

Tsk—bringing another little girl home,

She moved her little butt, turned her head to the side and continued to doze off, leaving her with only a cold back.

Keqing seemed even more embarrassed.

Even the pet fox in my husband's house is so... unique.

She had no choice but to continue sitting there, occasionally glancing at where He Li had left.

What are you doing sir...

If he wasn't here, even if Keqing wanted to leave, she couldn't. Leaving without saying goodbye would be very rude.

And...she hadn't had lunch yet. At best, she had only a few bites of shrimp balls and a piece of pork ribs from Ganyu.

It was past noon, and the suppressed hunger surged up again.

She drank a few sips of tea and touched her stomach.

I hope I won't be embarrassed again when I see you later...

But just waiting like this would only make her feel hungrier, so she turned her attention back to the little fox.

"Little fox, where do you think the master is doing? What is he doing in there?"

This time the little fox didn't ignore her.

First, her furry pointed ears twitched a few times, and then she suddenly stood up straight, with her small nose twitching in the air, as if she had discovered something.

"Little fox you..."

Before she could say anything else, a pink flash appeared and the little fox disappeared from the table.

She was about to turn her head when suddenly a burst of fragrance rushed into her nose.

At the same time, there was a voice:

"Sorry for the wait. I was just cooking. This little guy is picky about food and only likes to eat this. Also, there is a kitchen in there."

"gentlemen--"

She stood up quickly and looked behind her.

He Li was holding two plates. The pink little fox was standing on his shoulder, nudging his neck with its little paws from time to time, as if urging him to hurry up.

"You must be hungry too,"

He walked in quickly, looked at her with a smile, and showed her the dish in his right hand:

"If you don't mind, you can eat here."

"Do not..."

Almost subconsciously, Keqing was about to shake her head.

Coo-coo—the strange sound sounded again.

His smile remains unchanged:

"You look hungry, so eat something."

Keqing suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

...

"This little girl can't be considered a pet. She eats human food. Don't have any thoughts about it."

Since there was only tofu left at home, He Li could only make an extra portion of the fried tofu that he had originally prepared for the little fox.

Perhaps he was afraid that Keqing would think too much - how could he use food for pets to entertain guests?

He then explained further.

"how come,"

Keqing held her chopsticks and shook her head. She finally mustered up the courage to look He Li in the face:

"I am honored to be able to entertain you, sir."

It was more than just a blessing. She had never thought that she would be able to eat the food he cooked, not even in her dreams.

"Then eat it while it's hot. It won't be good if it gets cold."

He rubbed the little fox who was concentrating on biting the tofu and nodded at the plate on her table.

Keqing nodded heavily.

"Um,"

Pick up a piece of tofu with chopsticks and put it in your mouth.

As you chew, juice squeezes out of the tofu and fills your teeth, and the aroma bursts from your mouth and rushes straight into your mind.

Delicious, stars twinkled in her eyes.

Sure enough, it tasted great, even better than she had imagined.

She held out her chopsticks again.

He Li lowered his chin and watched her movements.

When Ningguang eats, she will raise her other hand to half-cover her lips, and even carefully control the size of the dishes and the number of rice grains to avoid spilling rice grains or opening her mouth too wide, which would be indecent...

Keqing is different from Ningguang. She doesn't seem to have many taboos. Maybe she had some when she was a young lady, but she abandoned them when she was investigating the people's sentiments on the construction site. She became as decisive as she is, and paid more attention to the purpose of eating - to be full.

but...

As if noticing his gaze,

Keqing paused for a moment with the chopsticks in the air.

When she picked up her chopsticks again, He Li suddenly discovered that her movements had become visibly reserved.

Haha——What a lovely girl.

He Li smiled and said:

"Miss Keqing, why do you call me sir?"

As a male title, "Mr." is often not used alone. It is always preceded by a surname, a given name, or "this one" or "that one."

Besides, the first time Keqing called him, it wasn't 'sir'.

...

Keqing was actually a little nervous. What would she do if he asked her about that night?

She wasn't afraid to apologize or admit her mistakes, that was what she was supposed to do.

She was more worried that her husband would think she was a rash girl...

But he never mentioned this matter again after that sentence, and even that sentence seemed to be just a joke.

Keqing even felt that he was just teasing her... Well, sir, I don't think he has such a bad taste.

But since he didn't say it, nor did he admit his identity, it would be inappropriate for me to just say that I guessed it. Ningguang said that he wanted to hide his identity.

If I were to rashly apologize and admit my fault, and indirectly expose him, that would be a mistake upon a mistake...

Just cooperate with him.

"The one who is more experienced should be the first, and since you are older than me, I should call you Mr.

Keqing raised her cat head to look at him and said seriously.

"Haha, in Miss Keqing's eyes, am I older than you?"

He Li pointed to his face and said with a smile.

"gentlemen..."

Keqing looked at his face carefully.

For some reason, He Li felt that she was stunned again.

Cough,

She suddenly cleared her throat, turned her head away, and said calmly:

"Mr. is very handsome... No... Mr. is very young, but he should be older than me."
