bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xxxi

A very special day since Beidou and Ningguang were summoned at Mondstandt, for such reasons that weren't mentioned at the letter. Despite Jean being so secretive about it, they still chose to go on and accept the genuine invitation. Also because the both of them wanted to spend time for each other to deepen their relationship more. Their lives as fiancées had been cute and chaotic sometimes, fighting and then being affectionate later on. The most important thing that ever happened is that they now never lacked time for themselves as they would always free their time in order to bond for each other. With that being said, they would always be likely accept whatever invitation that involves the both of them.

In Liyue Harbor's wharf, Beidou arrived earlier than the supposed time since she knew that Ningguang hated late comers. She had also been early just in case there would be a marine traffic, or because their fleet had been hated by many due to their doings that has affected their city. Up until now, there are still people who despised her and the crew but she just ignored them, not having the slightest care. While she was waiting, she decided to have some chatter with her crew. Some of them eager to know more about their love story.

Then few moments later, Ningguang appeared looking surprised at how early she arrived. She had been accompanied by Ganyu and Keqing who later on waved their goodbyes at the tianquan and left elsewhere. Ningguang wore her best clothes to, of course, attract Beidou.

"I see you went ahead before time." Ningguang smiled.

The captain was too busy admiring her as she nearly forgot to respond, "Hm? Oh! Yeah, of course I did." she said with a start, planting a kiss on her forehead, "My lady, you look so beautiful and sexy.." her tone was raspy.

The tianquan rolled her eyes but smiled afterwards, "Thanks, honey." she bit her lip, "Whilst you look hot." she replied, giving her the sexy tone back.

Beidou grabbed her waist then slid her hand at her buttom to squeeze it softly, "Someone's turned on again." she teased, eyeing her.

Ningguang then shoved her, "Quit it." but a smile still curled on her lips, "Let us now depart." she ordered, her smile still not leaving her lips.

The captain followed her to the ship, supporting her as she climbed Alcor since it may be sturdy. It has been a while since Ningguang had board her ship again because the last time was about weeks ago when they had their unexpected swimming hangout. While the last time she had been over the ocean was when they admired the lanterns, another unexpected and unpredictable moment.

Her ship shone again with a bunch of treasure chests, few golds splattered across the planks which were being stepped on by them. The crew greeted the tianquan respectfully and politely since she is one of the Liyue Qixing, meaning that both companies have unusual ties. Since Ningguang, as a tianquan, had been demanding them expensive fines before.

They had adjusted the sails and the ship began to move accordingly. Beidou and her crew chanted few incoherent phrases which meant words of encouraging and excitement. She being the captain sometimes have never been an easy job for her however she does everything she can to make her crew as lively as possible. Even though some of what they are doing may be illegal. When the two have been talking about this, Ningguang could not help but to shake her head in disbelief hence the reason why she thought she could never scold her love.

Their journey was like the last time they went to Mondstadt except nothing unholy happened during the transportation. Beidou had taken over the wheel while singing a song, Ningguang sitting beside her as she smoked from her pipe. There were times when a massive wave would slap against their ship, making a shifting movement. The other would clung her life at the captain's arm, muttering something that sounded like a prayer. Luckily, the weather was nice unlike last time which they had been almost driven by the storm.
