bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xii

Another tiring day for Ningguang as she abandons her work and thoughts of something that can make her feel entertained. She figured that it was smart for her to continue and sign all of the paperworks by tomorrow.

Her business was doing great and Liyue's reputation also stayed best. Townsfolk seemed to look at the captain as not the black sheep anymore as Ningguang told them that she is a reliable person.

Beidou's adventures had always been exciting for her but those has led her ship to require some repairs. At this time, she told Ningguang that she is unable to deliver some crystal since her ship won't make it halfway.

After all, taking a break is not a bad idea.

She struggled as she walk on sand with her heels which she had taken off after tripping a few times. Ganyu and her lover also tagging along with her.

"Ningguang, I don't see the point why you are dying to see the captain." Keqing teased, earning karma when a crab bit her toe.

The tianquan was also perplexed at her own act and decision, "None of your business, Keqing." she twirled at them, pushing each other as crabs attacked them.

"Ah! Get it off, Ganyu!" she was almost passing her weight at the other who is also freightened at the crabs crawling sideways at them.

"Actually, I do not even now why I tagged you two along." she scoffed, "I should have left you two." she regretted her decisions now.

Right now, they have arrived at the Guyun Stone Forest. Ningguang thought it was a good idea to visit Beidou since it was always her who visits the Jade Chamber.

They could already see the ship at the distance, its red sails flashed before them.

Crewmen were working hardly as they took turns at taking the planks and all sorts of materials for the repair. All of them were busy and seemed like none of them saw the visitors.

Ningguang's eyes looked for her love. Tipping her toes as she finds her. At first, she thought that she was in a different place but then a familiar figure was sought at the top pole.

She was wearing a muscle tee, her biceps revealing. Ningguang took a gulp at this sight. Beidou was repairing one of the sails that has a hole on it, looking as though she had been doing this for quite a lot of time.

Ningguang did not know whether on what to do but already thanked when Keqing started bellowing incoherent words, "Hey!!!! Over here!!!!" she was waving her hands.

"She won't hear you." Ganyu wanted to shut her mouth as crewmen started staring at them confused.

Sea Drake acknowledged them and quickly informed the captain about their arrival. Ningguang could see Beidou's face surprised as she looks over them.

Beidou smiled and quickly jumps as she holds the rope for support. It took long since she washed the dirt off her.

She ran towards them, "Hey." she had this smug look on her face when she turned to Ningguang, "I wasn't expecting you here." she was bewildered and happy at the same time.

"You seemed displeased at our arrival." Ningguang scoffed, flipping her hair, "Are we unwelcomed?" her sassy attitude will never leave her body.

Beidou laughed, stroking some strands of Ningguang's bangs, "You are always welcome anytime, honey."

They were flirting each other that they forgot the two behind them. Keqing announced their presence, "Are we forgetting something here?" she also nudged Ganyu.

"Have some respect, humans." Ganyu blurted out, crossing her arms.

The two of them let out a peace symbol with their fingers. Beidou chuckled, "You brought with you your company."
