It was a cold summer evening. It was around 60ºf and it had a soft breeze. Shenhe, used to the cold air was sitting at the Jade chamber outside, chatting away with Ningguang, Beidou, Yelan, Xianyun, Keqing and Ganyu. She was lying on the cold stone platform as she rested her head in Yelan's lap.

"One senses some romanic feelings between the two of you." Xianyun commented while pointing her finger to Yelan and Shenhe. Suddenly the woman raised by the adepti called out.
"Fuck no.. We don't swing that way!"

To Yelan's disappointment she had felt rejected then and there, however she hid quite well. she felt stupid but again her ability to keep a poker face was quite uncanny.
However Ningguang's perceptive mind saw behind it. So she asked to speak privately to Yelan. Then taking her to the office of hers within the Jade Chamber.

"You cannot hide shit from me. Come on, what's on your mind?" Ningguang asked, despite looking so unkind and bossy, she was quite a kind woman, she was also very smart for her younger age.
"Shenhe's words hurt didn't they?" She asked. Narrowing her red eyes as she looked into Yelan's teal eyes, Ningguang saw the true feelings Yelan had despite Yelan's ability to hide it."

"Yeah.. Her words did hurt. But It's fine. I'm fine. It's just a stupid crush anyways..." Yelan muttered. Her face betraying her desire to hide it. And she wavered. Seeing this, Ningguang hugged her tightly. Offering comfort. Of course Ningguang was a loyal wife and she loved Beidou more than anything, but she did Love Yelan as a sister. So she showed that compassion and sisterly love to Yelan as she felt it was needed.

Beidou soon came to check and saw the scene, understanding Ningguang was doing what was needed, so Beidou walked by just to offer some reassuring words, then grabbing some snacks and returning outside.

"Alright.. let's get back out there." Yelan said softly, she felt better after having recived the sibling-like love from Nigguang, and agreeing, Ningguang returned to the group with Yelan.

"Dammit Shenhe. You're a fucking pretty woman And I love you so much.."
Thought Yelan throughout the rest of the night.
