bitter exes | beidou x ningguang

chapter xxxii

"Miss Lizzie!" Klee excitedly waved her hand at the knight in charge of the festive challenges. Meanwhile Ningguang and Beidou both panted as they ran before their temporary kid for a day.

"Hi, Klee and oh! We got guests from Liyue." she smiled at them warmly, "Well, do y'all want to play games?" she put her hands at her waist.

"Yeah, do you have something that is child proof?" the captain asked her, knowing that Klee has the possibility to destroy a city within seconds.

Lizzie smiled widely, "Everyone can participate the games." seems like her questions wasn't answered, "Do you want to know the minigames?" she then gave them a map where the games are being held.

Klee grabbed the paper as fast as she could, "Oooohh." she said in amusement.

The knight went on, "There are four available games including Bullseye Balloons, Floral Freefall, Ballads of Breeze and the Peculiar Wonderland." she announced them without even having the time to breathe.

Ningguang wasn't too found of participating in games but she would br willing to for the sake of Klee. Meanwhile, Beidou is a different person, she would be too gladly to participate in any games for she may have a competitive trait. In fact, everything excites her.

"Alright, where do you want to go first?" the tianquan poked the kid's cheeks, her tone was too soft which made Beidou fall for her a million times more.

Klee wondered for a moment, "The shooting balloons, please Miss Ning." she smiled.

Ningguang then stroked a strand of the kid's hair away from her eyes, "Okay, let's go now." she gazed at the other who was only staring at them in awe, "Beidou? What's with the stare?" she folded her arms.

Beidou chuckled, "It's just that you look so hot being a mom." she blurted out.

Lizzie almost squealed when she eavesdropped them, wishing that she also has someone who could the spit those beautiful words at her.

The tianquan was taken aback, still denying the fact that this flustered her so much, "I know, now come on now, Captain Bei." there was a huge grin displayed on her face as she grabbed the other's hand, "Stop making me so flustered in public."

"Okay, wifey." the other was more flustered when she was called by that endearment, Ningguang hitting her playfully.

This made Beidou laugh and then for a split second, she felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise, "Honey," she clung on to her arm and scanned the place, "I feel like someone is staring at me." she shivered.

Ningguang made a face, "I beg your pardon? Quit your tricks, captain." she chuckled, knowing that she may be a cheeky one.

Klee stomped her feet, getting impatient, "Mommies!" she called them out before going off on her own again.

The two laughed then started catching up with her. They were now off to Starsnatch Cliff where they would be popping some balloons. Once they have reached the destination, the two realized suddenly that they both have zero talent in archery. But this would noy stop them from having fun.

"Let's go!" and the game began. Klee popping lots of balloons within a second, earning her own points but mainly popping the exploding ones. Beidou was walking in circles, trying to climb the leaderboards when her aiming is quite pretty bad but could shoot the moving ones. Ningguang still looked elegant as she focused dearly but kept on aiming at the angry balloons.

"So cool!" Klee jumped in happiness as the chaos still continued, lots of popping sound filled the atmosphere. Beidou tried to refrain herself from cursing way too much when she misses a balloon.
