In which you, the reader, with a dendro vision falls in love with a mysterious lady.
-------------
"Are you perhaps.. in love with me?"
.... There was silence.
"Was it that obvious..?"
over the next couple of days, you've kept in contact with yanfei. as it turns out she was also helping preparing for the lantern rite. you decided to help her since you weren't doing anything the next few days anyway since yelan had to get back to her work.
"hey (name)! whew! sorry i was late." speaking of the half adeptus, she comes up running to you, coffee in hand. "it's fine. so um.. what do you need me to do?" you avert your gaze to the floor, as an introvert crowded spaces were never really your thing. "oh yeah right!— here take these." she hands you a stack of papers. "hand them to one of the qixing for me please? it mentions material prices and best optimal sellers to buy from," she adds on while watching you struggle with such a large stack of paper. "by the way, thanks for helping me. i really appreciate it haha, it cuts me some slack. we're really short in manpower these days." yanfei lets out a tired sigh, continuing to drink her coffee before wishing you luck and bidding farewell. you carefully make your way around liyue harbor, searching for a qixing member. even with your small and gentle steps, you almost manage to trip.
keyword almost.
a beautiful girl with striking pink eyes catches some of your falling papers faster than one can blink while also managing to prevent your fall. her lavender hair was tied into two ponytails, both of them ending in elegant curls. "are you okay?" the lady asks before letting you down from her hold, also offering you your papers. "y-yeah. thank you." to be quite frank, she intimidated you, with eyes that could seemingly pierce through the thickest of rocks and the shiny sword tucked away on her back. "you're welcome, i need to get going now." before she could leave you quickly grasped her shoulder. "wait! do you happen to know where a qixing member is?" as the purple haired girl tried to respond, a blue haired girl with horns came rushing towards the both of you. she has black horns with red designs on them with gorgeous sparkling hair.
"oh my archons! im so sorry! i—" the girl who you assumed to be an adeptus gets stopped with a hand on her mouth. "ganyu, this isn't your fault. don't worry, plus you promised to stop overworking yourself and just take a day off today." you watched them bicker back and forth in awe, they were like an old married couple fighting.
"back to your papers miss, were both apart of the qixing, which you said you were looking for? oh yes and um a formal introduction. i'm keqing, the yuheng. and this is the secretary, ganyu." they both bow politely as your face heats up. you feel so embarrassed. did you really fall in front of a person with high status? "uh.. ha.. nn.. ah sorry— anyway i was tasked to give these papers to you by yanfei, they are related to the lantern rite preparations." you stammer as you quickly hand over the remaining stack of papers in your hands to keqing and ganyu. "thank you, i'd love to chat right now but my schedule is really tight. farewell and may our paths cross again." and just like that, keqing was off as quick as she came, with ganyu following behind yelling pleas for her to wait.
you could only watch as their figures disappear into the sunset. unbeknownst to you, someone crept up behind you. "mind telling me why you were touching anyone else besides me?"
