bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xiii

The two looked like they have been swimming for a long time as their sunburns have flashed on their skins. Keqing and Ganyu exchanged dirty looks when they saw the other two coming from a remote place.

"We just talked." Ningguang blurted out, knowing their faces will jabber about something they didn't do.

They wriggled their eyebrows, "Dirty-talk." she corrected.

The tianquan wished she could splash a bucket of water at them, "Beidou, defend ourselves." she looked over her hopefully only to see that she's one of them who is laughing.

She caught the lady's death glare, "Like she said, we only talked." she stifled her laugh and acted tough.

Her crewmen had been working hard while they enjoyed themselves. Beidou excused herself for a while to check how her ship is. Ningguang had nothing to do but get stuck with the two who are dripping wet.

They went out of the waters to tease the tianquan. She attempted to escape but was too darn late. Both of them circled her to stop her from going anywhere else, "Checkmate!" they giggled.

"What now?" she asked coldly, being outnumbered by the two, "I told you, we just talked." but she was blushing hard as she recalls unholy things.

"Ooohh!!" she pointed at her flushing cheeks, "A bit unhygienic to do it in public, I say." she teased, Ganyu nodded in response.

Ningguang's cheeks flashed red more in embarrasment, "Shut up, you two." she tried to hide her cheeks with her fan, "I reckon you two did it elsewhere, perhaps." she teased them back.

Ganyu and Keqing looked as though they had been hit by a spear, "Okay, alright." they put their hands up in defeat, "You checkmate us." as if they confessed.

She was shock at the sudden statement, "What?! Okay, who's being unhygienic here??" she had turned the tables at them.

But it was impossible to defeat two birds with one stone, "Well, It's not like I had slept with my ex or what." they did a high five when they saw her expression changed.

"Or maybe did things with my ex." Ganyu also replied, her salary looking deadly as well.

Ningguang turned her back at them, "What's wrong with those?" she had admitted the part where they did something else.

The two squealed, "OMG! I smell reuniting!" they leaped in joy.

The tianquan crossed her arms as she admired Beidou who climbed back again to fix the sails. She wondered if the ropes that had been supporting her waist is strong enough.

"I like her too, what's the big deal?" she said it so simply but deep inside she felt her heart jumping also.

The squeal was louder this time, a few crewmen looking at them in bewilderment, "Ship is sailing!" they said that as if their club had won over something.

Ningguang let them celebrate their champion as she continued to admire Beidou's toned figure. She shook her head to erase the unholy thoughts lingering around her mind.

Suddenly, Beidou waved her hand to catch her attention. She was now at the topmost part of the ship. Her foot was at the edge which concerned Ningguang because she is a very unpredictable person.

Keqing and Ganyu noticed this and started yelling like fools, "JUMP!" they cheered repetitively.

Beidou was confused as she tries to understand what they were yelling for. Ganyu gestured something with her hands and now the captain understood what it meant.

They cheered but the captain suddenly grabbed the rope and swayed herself to reach one of the mountain. Three of them exchanged confused looks, maybe she misunderstood what Ganyu meant.
