bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter vii

They have already arrived near Mondstandt which is the Falcon Coast because it would take them roughly about two hours to take a detour. The storm had taken up half of their time.

When they had come out of the captain's cabin, Ganyu and Xiangling were grinning meaningfully at them. Ningguang wished that she could vanish the hell out of them because 'the' thing kept on recalling through her mind.

She has a meeting with Jean and had to stay focused on their matter but Beidou kept on teasing her, "Still have that hangover?" she snickered.

Ningguang felt butterflies so she had to dodge the captain, "Shut upppp." she said sharply.

Right after the boat has board the shore, Ningguang looked at Beidou in disbelief, "We are about five hundred miles away from the Knights of Favonius." she scoffed.

Beidou smiled, "Yes, we are." she sounded so unbothered while Ningguang was almost panicking at the tick of the time.

She waved her hand in thin air as if calling for somebody, "Over here!" she whistled through her fingers.

A cart with eight boars came into scene, it was speeding down them.

Ningguang flipped her hair, "I thought you will make me walk at the capital." she scoffed, turning away.

"How could I let that happen?" she extended an arm to wrap around the other's waist, "After we have done that." she stressed the second word as she tickle her side.

She felt butterflies so she immediately elbowed her, mouthing an ow sound on her lips, "Beidou." she called out menacingly.

Meanwhile the cart has arrived which was specifically made for at least four passengers. Xiangling insisted on going so Beidou had nothing to do but to let her come.

Ningguang was also carrying three baggages that were heavy and every time they lift it up it creates a clinking sound. Beidou suspected that it is mora.

"All aboard!" the captain shouted gleefully. Xiangling and Ganyu quickly chose the seats at the back, leaving the two vacant slots at the front.

Ningguang sighed because she knew she had to sit beside Beidou for a while, "You need help getting on, mi'lady?" she offered a hand to help her.

She disregard of this and helped herself to get on the cart but failed. Her foot slipped by the rail but luckily Beidou caught her, "Did you do that on purpose?" she had the smug look on her face.

She was almost touching her breast which made Ningguang's heart flutter, "Just help me." she hissed.

The journey was silent except for the sound of the boars and the breezy air. The cochero was also silent as he guided the boars to reach their destination.

But the silence broke when Ganyu spoke, "Miss Ningguang?" she was smiling like a fool, "What exactly did you and Captain Beidou do at the cabin?" then she and Xiangling giggled.

Ningguang's ears turned red while Beidou scratched the back of her neck. Their minds quickly thought of reasons that they could say.

"We talked." said Ningguang

"We cuddled." said Beidou.

Each of them had different answers which made the two at the back snicker meanwhile the two lovers eyed each other.

Xiangling wanted the two of them to confess, "Oooh, they are hiding something. Ganyu we better respect them." but it sounded sarcasm.

Ganyu agreed but they still laughed making the two feel uneasy, "Oh, damn it you two." Beidou replied, flashing a bright blush on her cheek.
