Chapter 115: the Liyue Qixing Secretary · Ganyu! Meeting after five hundred years!

Regardless of what others were thinking, Keqing brought Luo Li to the lounge next to her office.

It seemed she still remembered what she said in a half-drunk daze last night, and the favorability she had brushed up hadn't disappeared after a night’s sleep.

Even after passing the stranger stage, when Keqing gave orders to wait for the meal, she was still discussing with Luo Li how to realize the era of human rule.

Regarding this, Luo Li and Venti probably had the most say.

Both had been hands-off managers, yet Mondstadt still stood well and hadn't disappeared with the changing of eras.

Of course, Keqing had certain doubts about the actions of that Anemo Archon.

But no matter what, the seven nations that still stood represented that they definitely had their own unique philosophies.

Afterwards, Keqing also asked Luo Li many questions about the future of Liyue. "Zero one seven"

Possessing thousands of years of wisdom and having governed Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma at the same time, the policies or directions Luo Li expounded made Keqing’s eyes light up.

Although she said with her mouth that the future belonged to humans and that the people must learn to break away from the protection of the gods and take on the city alone.

But Keqing was actually also confused about the future; this country was too huge, and wanting to support it alone was almost impossible.

Even if she was as capable as she was, she couldn't be 100% sure that her actions were correct.

The front seemed to be shrouded in fog, and whether it was a broad road or a bottomless abyss at the end of the fog, she didn't know.

If there was no guidance from the gods, could it really last forever?!

These were all problems that needed to be solved.

However, when she felt confused and hesitant, it was an abnormal coincidence that Luo Li suddenly came to her side.

Helping her slowly sort out her thoughts, blowing away the fog in front of her eyes, making her understand that she was not fighting alone, and that there were like-minded people.

Everything she thought and wanted, the man in front of her understood.

He also dared to question the gods and looked forward to humans walking out of their own era and future.

Keqing even felt that he was a person arranged by fate to be by her side; the only pity was that he seemed to already have a partner and belonged to Mondstadt.

As her subordinates brought breakfast, Keqing was asking him for advice on some doubts and difficulties during the meal.

This continued until the sun was in the middle of the sky, and finally someone couldn't help but come to notify.

"Lady Keqing, there will be memorials presented later, and the Secretary will also come to discuss the situation of the Chasm with you..."

Only then did she realize that she still had to go to work, and seeing Luo Li who had been accompanying her, Keqing, who glanced at the sky, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry, even though you came to Liyue to play, I delayed so much time."

"It’s okay, it just so happens that I don't have a clear goal to go to; furthermore, solving puzzles for others is also a kind of pleasure."

Confirming that Luo Li didn't say this as a disguise, but from the heart, Keqing felt even more guilty.

She thought for a while and took out an invitation letter from her bosom.

"How about this, to show my apology, there will be a play at Heyu Tea House after noon, and it is said that it will be performed by the head of the Yun family herself; why don't you go and appreciate it."

"Although this apology is insignificant, since you came to Liyue, I suggest you also experience the characteristic drama here."

Luo Li took the invitation letter with gold edges and nodded with interest.

The head of the Yun family, now it should be Yun Jin, the one known as Mr. Yun or Boss Yun of the Yunhan Opera Troupe.

Seeing him accept it, Keqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It’s a pity that I won't have free time later, otherwise I could personally take you to travel around Liyue."

For Keqing, who had traveled all over Liyue to measure the land, there was no more suitable guide than her.

"No matter, there will be plenty of time in the future, no need to be stuck on a moment."

"That’s true."

Lacking topics on official business, the two were speechless for a while.

Keqing coughed lightly, intending to say goodbye to him with some reluctance, and then head to the office.

Who knew, at this moment, a report came from outside.

"Lady Keqing, the Secretary has already arrived outside the General Affairs Office."

The Secretary?

Luo Li raised his eyebrows slightly and instinctively looked outside.

Could it be... that crybaby girl?!

…………

Outside the General Affairs Office!

Walking through the bustling crowd, Ganyu, holding a stack of documents, sighed slightly.

The longer she lived among humans, the more she felt a sense of loneliness.. .

This loneliness stemmed from her Qilin bloodline, drinking dew in the morning and sleeping on fairy mountains at night.

But the human side of her couldn't let go of the prosperity of the human world.

Influencing each other, it made her feel that as an alien, she couldn't find a foothold and a warm home in this huge city.

Perhaps, this weariness for the future also had the loneliness of never seeing her teacher again.

Ever since she learned from the Rex Lapis five hundred years ago that her teacher was buried in the Abyss, it was the first time she had cried in the two thousand years since she grew up, sitting alone on the top of Jueyun Karst for three days and three nights without moving.

It is said that the tears of a mermaid can turn into pearls, but the world doesn't know that the tears of a Qilin can heal scars.

Unfortunately, there was nothing to heal the scars in her heart.

After that, Ganyu walked through all the places she and her teacher had been in her memories, trying to find back the time of the past.

Unfortunately, the past was ultimately the past, and it could never return to the old days.

In the end, she was sincerely begged back by that generation of the Liyue Qixing.

Because without Ganyu, Liyue’s affairs simply couldn't work, and they had to ask her to go back and continue working.

Ganyu agreed, but from then on, her words became fewer and fewer, silent and reticent, making people worry involuntarily.

However, the only thing that made people feel at ease was that she put almost all her heart into work; except for the fixed lunch break of 1.5, she never saw a time to rest.

Perhaps only Ganyu knew that only by completely filling her time would she not let her imagination run wild and stir up those sad memories.

It was just that work always had a time to be completed, and at that time she would also think, "Ten thousand merchants come, a thousand ships follow, a hundred goods emerge, and all seas are browsed"—were these all her wishes?

Thinking about the problems of herself and Liyue, Ganyu had already reached the depths of the General Affairs Office; going in further was the office of the Yuheng Star.

She didn't like this the Liyue Qixing very much because the other party’s attitude toward the Rex Lapis was a bit sharp.

Except for Luo Li, Ganyu also held full respect for the Rex Lapis.

However, the Rex Lapis always said that Keqing was the person Liyue needed today; she couldn't understand and could only try to contact more affairs to figure it out.
