To the eternal you

"Woo... woah... stop, bite your ear or something..."

Qi woke up from that impure dream, her tender face was flushed, her body felt like being squeezed into some kind of soft pillow, and the most obvious sense was the warm and humid feeling coming from her ears.

It seems that there is a little sheep arching beside her, and the force of the bite is not heavy, but it is kept at the level that can attract her attention. Should it be said that the sleeping position is too bad or that I didn't eat enough before going to bed?

Qi sighed helplessly, and found that besides opening his ears, he was also hugged by sister Gan Yu like a pillow.

Qi somewhat helplessly took her hand away from her waist, did she really have that strange dream because she was teased like this in reality...

Because of being hugged tightly, and drinking a lot of milk tea before going to bed, the body reacted at this time, and if you continue to endure it, something will happen. Qi shivered and blushed, and said coquettishly with embarrassment: "Sister Gan Yu! Let me go!"

The girl's call quickly made Gan Yu wake up leisurely, because she was lying on her side with her arms around the girl, she could see a faint red mark on the side of the girl's face, the hazy feeling and confusion when she just woke up made Gan Yu subconsciously Letting go of his mouth gave Qi some room to breathe.

"Ah... pray, good morning?"

"It's not good morning! It must be almost night now?! And sister Gan Yu's sleeping position is too strange——!"

Qi wanted to break free from his embrace, although the quilt was very warm, but the feeling of being played with as a large pillow for no apparent reason was too shameful!

"Ah~ that's it, hehe~"

Gan Yu leaned forward again, rubbed against the girl's face, and smiled contentedly.

"Hmm! Although Sister Gan Yu just woke up in a daze and is very cute, but now I can't indulge Sister Gan Yu!"

Just when Qi was about to make some effort to turn over, Gan Yu's slightly lonely voice came.

"Pray, hate me...?"

"Absolutely not!" Qi replied with incomparable accuracy.

At the same time, he also stopped the movements in his hands, and turned his head to look at Gan Yu who buried his face at some point and had a gloomy expression.

"Lie. If you don't hate me, why do you always bring up the topic of travelers when you stay with me..."

"Sister Gan Yu..." Qi also finally understood why the other party cared so much.

"When I stood with you before, I was always very scared. I was worried that if I didn't do well enough, it would damage the emperor's face, and let you, the Inazuma Imperial Palace, see Liyue's jokes."

She whispered about all kinds of things in the past.

"When I was working, I wanted to solve it with the best posture, but because of nervousness, I would mess up some steps. At that time, you helped me solve it together... Gradually, whenever I encountered such a situation, I would subconsciously see To you."

"Treat the affairs in hand seriously, and talk to everyone with a gentle and considerate look. Even if there are things that you are not good at, you can quickly learn from experience and never commit it again."

In the girl's eyes, there is the bright and outstanding existence named Raiden Qi in the past.

Maybe she didn't notice it, or maybe even if she knew, she didn't want to damage the relationship because of the rejection.

On that afternoon, she was absolutely sure.

she was--

I really like Qi's smile.

I really like Qi's gentle but strong tone no matter what he does to people.

I really like the side face of a girl who inadvertently reveals when Qi and I work overtime together.

Like the warm sun shining on his body during a nap, he is lively and cute, curious about everything, even when he is depressed because of certain things, he can quickly make up his mind, understand other people's mood, very gentle Raidenqi.

She is my very, very important friend.

In those thoughts about the girls in the past, Gan Yu once thought this way.

——Why would Raiden Qi, the god of a country, be friends with someone like her?

She doesn't mind the difference in status, even if she is the only known victor in the Demon God War, she is extremely shameful, she doesn't make fun of it, but respects and loves herself as a senior.

Several times she wanted to ask why she trusted herself so much and was willing to be friends with herself, and even blushed and kept thanking him when she paid the bill for Dijun and them as a matter of course.

——Is she really Qi's friend?

She has also thought about this question many times. That girl always treats everyone she meets with the same gentle personality. Perhaps to her, she is just a relatively close person in the workplace.

However, for some reason, every time she thinks about it like this, Qi and her smile will appear in her mind very naturally to answer her.

"Sister Gan Yu is my friend, naturally because I like sister Gan Yu!"

The longing in the girl's eyes seemed to have turned into substance, with some kind of power, which calmed Qi's originally anxious mood.

"Qi, can you answer me, what am I to Qi?"

"What is my eagerness to stand with you and talk about everything?"

Tears wet the pillow and gradually fainted. In the low voice of the girl's inquiry, Qi turned up and put his hands on both ends of her neck. Her long hair slid down her shoulders and hung down beside Gan Yu's cheek.

Qi looked at her with an extremely serious expression.

"Sister Gan Yu is a very important friend to me, and also a senior whom I look forward to."

"Usually overworked, sitting dozed off and then woke up, looking around like a bunny, worried about being seen by others, it's cute."

"Although every time I say that I can't eat too much, I always use various reasons to persuade me to eat together during supper time. I think it's cute to share the fat."

"There are many, many—recorded in the diary, from the fulfillment of the mission of the successful teaching, to the joy of working hard together in the peers, and the joy of finding the friends I like, I have seen them all!"

Despite her immature face, the girl in front of her was undoubtedly Raiden Qi.

In a gentle tone that should have been silent in her memory, she expressed her opinion on her.

"As friends, as colleagues at work, or now, we are nervous about expressing our hearts to each other and hoping to be verified."

"I like these very much, and I can understand sister Gan Yu's feelings. But... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

At the end of the words, she looked at her with an extremely sad and apologetic expression, and the same warm tears slid down her immature cheeks. It was obvious that she brought up such a topic, but it made her cry again.

"Because of me, sister Gan Yu has been stuck in this way for more than a hundred years. She has been thinking about the past and can't take a step forward, but I don't know anything about it until now..."

"Such a lonely friendship must be hard, right?"

at that moment--

Gan Yu was silent.
