as pretty as those glaze lilies. || ganqing

chapter 1.

glaze lilies are so pretty.. are they yummy too? they look like it... i so want to eat the- stop daydreaming ganyu. i should get back to work, right, yes.

scribbling something in the scrolls, i nodded, staring at my cursive handwriting before picking up another, and repeating the process. i checked the time on my clock. 2:56pm. almost lunch time, i guess i'll go take another nap soon.

"ganyu! could you please work overtime a little more?" baishi, the jade chamber secretary smiled at me, handing me more scrolls.
"of course." i smiled at her, uncomfortably.
"thank you ganyu!" she left the office, quite merrily.

another day of tedious work, i guess. a minute turns into an hour, and i was finally done.

"wait." the purple headed 'cat girl' said.

oh?

"ah, it's you keqing, do you need anything?"
"why are you still working?"
seems like she does care.
"well.. baishi asked me to work overtime a little."
"lunch break is almost over, haven't you eaten anything?"
"i'm alright, keqing. i have.. uh, other things to do. i'll be leaving."
"well, mind if i accompany you?"
i paused for a moment.

"sure."

well, well, well, little miss ganyu just couldn't say no, could she? i'm always like this..

"what are you going to eat?"
"..uhm.." muttering, i say, "qing.. qingxin flowers."

why did you have to say it out loud?

"you eat flowers? i've heard of people who do that, do they taste good?"
i nod. "very, actually."

you're not human, she won't understand.
of course she's not going to understand.

"shall we go?"

is everyone staring at me? what about my horns? i feel uncomfortable.. i don't wanna eat here.. oh shoot, the petals are falling down and i'm making a mes-

"are you ok?"
"yes! i was just.. spacing out."
"you should take more breaks, ok?"

why would she care?

"alright!" i kept smiling.
