Qingxin Flowers

Chapter 8

"Ganyu?" Xiao forcefully broke the kiss. He was blushing while Keqing just had a sly smile on her face. 

"W-What were you guys doing?" she asked again. Xiao glared at Keqing, trying to get her to tell Ganyu what happened. "I was kissing him." Keqing said smugly. "O-oh was I interrupting something? I'm sorr-" Ganyu was visibly trembling.

She dashed back to her room, tears threatening to fall from her face. Once she got inside, she locked the door and began to cry openly. Why am I feeling so sad? Is it because... I'm in love with Xiao? Ganyu scolded herself for thinking that. If I get too close to him, I will only hurt him...

"Why did you do that!" Xiao snapped. He had regained his composure and was now scolding Keqing. "Why?" 

Keqing put on a mischievous smile. "Because I love you Xiao!" she leaped towards Xiao, hugging him. Xiao blushed and turned away.

"S-shut up! One more and you'll find the point of my spear at your neck." Xiao glared at her. "Anyways, why did you come here in the first place? To make trouble?" 

Xiao would never have believed that someone would deliberately come to cause mischief, but this young woman proved him wrong. "Ah, I forgot." Keqing grinned.

I'm sorry Ganyu... This young woman is going to be a handful...

"Now, if you don't have anything to say, leave." Xiao said coldly. "Xiao... Why are you being so cold with me?" Keqing pouted. "Leave!" Xiao shouted, his voice rising. 

Keqing wagged her finger playfully. "I'll leave if you say 'I love you!'" 

Argh... The nerve and audacity of this woman... 

"I-I love you." Xiao forced the words out. Keqing smiled. "I love you too!" 

She walked away. "Bye-bye Xiao!" 

Those words weren't from the heart Xiao thought. Fine, maybe some of them were...
