Chapter 201

But Miss Keqing actually felt lost 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 road ahead seemed to be shrouded in fog, and she didn't know if it was a broad road or a bottomless abyss at the end of the fog.

If there were no gods to guide them, could they really exist forever?!

These were all problems that needed to be solved.

However, just when she felt lost and hesitant, it was an extraordinary coincidence that Hearing Luo Li suddenly came to her side.

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

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

He also dared to question the gods and looked forward to humanity stepping out into its own era and future.

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

As her subordinates brought breakfast, Miss Keqing was asking him for advice on some doubts and difficulties while eating.

Thus, until the sun was high in the sky, someone finally couldn't help but come to notify them.

"Lady Keqing, there will be a memorial 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; seeing Hearing Luo Li, who had been accompanying her, Miss Keqing, who glanced at the sky, felt somewhat embarrassed.

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

"It's fine, it just so happens that I don't have a clear goal to head toward; furthermore, solving people's puzzles is also a pleasure."

Confirming that Hearing Luo Li was not pretending when he said this, but was speaking from his heart, Miss Keqing felt even more guilty.

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

"How about this, to show my apology, there will be a play at Heyu Tea House after noon; it is said that the head of the Yun family will perform in person. 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."

Hearing Luo Li took the gold-rimmed invitation letter and nodded with interest.

The head of the Yun family, now it should be Yun Jin, who is known as Master Yun or Boss Yun of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe.

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

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

"No matter, there is still a long time in the future; there is no need to be stuck on a single moment."

"That's true."

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

Miss Keqing coughed lightly, intending to say goodbye to him somewhat reluctantly, and then rush 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?

Hearing Luo Li raised his eyebrows slightly, instinctively looking 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 immortal mountains at night.

But the human side of her could not let go of the prosperity of the human world.

Influencing each other, it made her feel that she, as an outsider, could not find a foothold or a warm home in this huge city.

Perhaps, this weariness of the future also included the loneliness of never being able to see her teacher again.

Ever since she learned from the Rex Lapis five hundred years ago that her teacher had been 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 peak of Jueyun Karst for three days and three nights without moving.

They say that the tears of a mermaid can turn into pearls, but the world does not know that the tears of a Qilin can heal scars.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can 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 from before.

Unfortunately, the past is the past, and one can never return to the old days.

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

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

Ganyu agreed, but from then on, her words became increasingly sparse, and she was silent, making people worry involuntarily.

However, the only thing that made people feel at ease was that she put almost all her heart into her work; except for the fixed lunch break of 1.5, one could never see her resting.

Perhaps only Ganyu knew that only by completely filling her time would she not let her mind wander and trigger those sad memories.

It's just that work always has a time when it is finished; at that time, she would also think, "Ten thousand merchants come, a thousand ships follow, all kinds of goods emerge, and all seas are explored"—are these all her wishes?

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

She didn't like this Qixing member very much because her attitude toward the Rex Lapis was somewhat sharp.

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

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