~•.°slowly progressing°.•~

The past few days have been rough for y/n she didn't eat or drink anything other than sleep and cry for hours for those few days, but she couldn't stay like this forever she would have to accept it sooner or later.

Y/n decided to make something to eat even if she didn't feel like it she knew that if she kept herself unhealthy, she would end up ill or even worse end up coughing blood like last time especially because she has the same disease as her mother...but y/n kept her chin up and tried to think positively but she couldn't get the image of her mother that passed away from her head, when ever she thinks about it she starts to think negatively but she promised her mother that she wouldn't think negative or be negative,when she is gone, but it was impossible to do that especially when the only thing that kept her positive was her mother she was the one who made her smile when she was down, the one who taught her to keep her chin up high and the one who taught how to stay positive during rough times.

Why did it have to happen to her mom first? Why not herself her mom deserves the world for everything she's done by helping people in need, making people smile and and showing kindness to people even if they think they don't deserve it.

"As her daughter...I think she deserves to live a happy and peaceful life, she deserves it" she thought and smiled, but unfortunately her time was up and she couldn't do anything she felt really helpless.

She finally made her decision and kept her chin up and from now on she will continue her mother's legacy as promised even if it means she has to overwork herself to achieve her goal, it finally felt like she escaped the darkness that surrounded her, she started opening the curtains and and did a little bit of house cleaning and reopened the business it felt nice opening the business again when she saw her mail box she was stunned to see so many letters from people concerned about the business and wondering if the business was getting shut down or was on break even some of her and her mother's regular customers that come often were concerned, she decided to answer all of her mail that received from the people in Liyue that come to her business she got a pen and some paper and started responding to some of the mail staining the unfortunate death of her mom and explained how she wasn't in the correct state of mind to continue for the time being and for her well being so she's not breaking down during work especially since the time of event happened so recently after responding too all the letters, she switched the open sign to close and left to send the letters to the people she responded too after

Time skip

________________

After she finished sending back the letters, she went back to the business and switched back the sign that said close to open slowly five minutes have passed and their was a whole line up outside for her, she was shocked that so many people wanted to buy from er especially because they haven't been open for around a week she thought that people would find new businesses that have what they are looking for and eventually forget about her business but they seemed like they missed this business, when taking peoples's orders brought a smile on y/n face mainly because she missed helping the people in liyue her home town but it just didn't feel right without her mother by her side but when everyone in line found out about what happened to her mother everyone paid her 2x then what she was already making, she didn't want to accept this but the refused to take it back in stead they were trying to help her, with all this money she could grow her business and buy more materials too build up her business this is what her mother always wanted people with greet her and would give her tips when they leave she couldn't help but cry tears of joy this made her feel so much better.

Time went fast she made at least almost 75k mora she was still in shock knowing that the people were kind enough to give her 2x and even 3x the mora she would make in a day she makes that much mora within a week but in a day was all so much, she put half the mora as side as emergency mora just in case anything happens it was her mothers idea they have quite a lot of emergency money, and the other half is to buy more resources for her business, her business was a little of everything it had food, rocks and even more but before she closed she noticed someone that she knew and remember she was getting something from the back but when she came back she was shocked to see the legendary yaska xiao standing before her but I think she already knew what exactly he was going to read but she didn't want to give him the cold one except she made a fresh one and a special dish too, before she was on her way to make the dish for him she greeted him politely and said that it would be ready in 10-15 minutes while she making the dish she noticed that xiao's golden eyes were looking directly at her she was mesmerized by his eyes they were beautiful but she had to pay attention, a few minutes passed and her special dish she made for him was ready she gave him the plate and he paid her and made his way to a tabel.
