As I strolled through the bustling streets of Liyue, the warm sun casting a golden glow on the ancient architecture, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and serenity. My name is Y/n, a young girl with an adventurous spirit, always seeking new experiences in this vibrant city. Little did I know that today's adventure would take an unexpected turn.

As I turned a corner, my heart skipped a beat when I noticed a group of shady-looking men eyeing me with malicious intent. Instinctively, I quickened my pace, hoping to evade them, but they were relentless in their pursuit. Panic began to well up inside me as their footsteps grew closer, and I realized there was no escape.

Just as despair threatened to overtake me, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows, towering over the men like a fearsome guardian. It was one of the most notorious and intimidating members of the Fatui, known for their ruthlessness and disregard for others. His presence alone sent shivers down my spine.

Without hesitation, the Fatui member unleashed his formidable power, striking fear into the hearts of my assailants. The men, now realizing the grave mistake they had made, stumbled backward in terror. My savior's eyes bore into them, his voice dripping with menace. "I couldn't let people in this town think I have competition, so I got rid of the so-called competition," he excused himself, his words laced with an unmistakable arrogance.

Grateful yet taken aback by his cold demeanor, I mustered the courage to express my thanks. "Thank you, but..." I began, my voice trailing off as he cut me off with a dismissive wave of his hand. "Save it," he grumbled, his tone dripping with disdain. "I didn't do it for you. Consider it a matter of convenience."

I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions-relief for being saved, but also a sense of indignation at his callousness. Nevertheless, I knew engaging in an argument with him would be futile. With a sigh, I resolved to leave the scene, my heart still pounding from the encounter.

Days turned into weeks, and the memory of that fateful encounter haunted me. I became determined to unravel the enigma that was the Fatui member who had saved me. Why had he come to my aid if not out of kindness or duty? And why did he feel the need to assert his dominance so forcefully?

Driven by curiosity, I embarked on a quest to find answers. I delved into the city's underbelly, discreetly gathering information about the Fatui and their operations. Along the way, I encountered numerous challenges, facing off against drunkards and low-level criminals who sought to exploit the chaos that often surrounded them.

One particular night, as I navigated the dimly lit alleys, I stumbled upon a group of heavily intoxicated men. Their slurred words and aggressive behavior left no doubt that trouble was brewing. Sensing danger, I tried to slip past them unnoticed, but my efforts were in vain.

The men, fueled by alcohol-fueled bravado, surrounded me, their leering gazes filled with malice. Fear gripped me once again as I realized the dire situation I found myself in. With no one to turn to for help, I knew I had to rely on my own resourcefulness.

Summoning every ounce of courage I had left, I confronted them, my voice laced with defiance. "Leave me alone," I demanded, my words trembling slightly. However, my plea seemed to fall on deaf ears as they closed in, their intentions clear.

Just as despair threatened to consume me, a familiar presence materialized before my eyes-the very Fatui member who had saved me before. His mere presence sent shockwaves through the group, effectively silencing their rowdy behavior. "What do you think you're doing?" he growled, his voice resonating with a dangerous edge.

The men, now sobered by the gravity of the situation, quickly dispersed, leaving me standing there in disbelief. Turning to face my savior, I struggled to find the words to express my gratitude. But before I could utter a single syllable, he interrupted me once again, his voice gruff. "I'm starting to think you're doing this just to get my attention." He said.
"It's working..." He mumbled secretly, I didn't hear him and ignored it.

Although his words stung, I couldn't deny the undeniable truth-they had saved me from harm once again. As we stood there in the flickering glow of the lamplight, I couldn't help but wonder what lay beneath his tough exterior. Was there a glimmer of humanity hidden within the depths of his cold heart? Only time would tell as I embarked on a journey to uncover the mysteries of both this city and the enigmatic Fatui member who had become an unexpected presence in my life.

"I'm sorry." I bowed slightly before hurriedly walking off until a tight grasp held my hand. My eyes widened, looking down at my wrist, my eyes slowly drifting up to the arm and to his face, showing the Fatui member that had saved me once again.

"Treat me to dinner." He spoke suddenly. I quirked a brow, confused.
"To repay me." He finished. My mouth gaped open in understanding.

"Sure?" I responded in a questioning tone. And with that, we had dinner together, he admitted it was only to repay him but I couldn't help but have the feeling that he wanted to get to know me.
