Genshin Impact's Sweet and Hard Free People

There was no other way. Although it might have disturbed Ke Qing, the door had already been opened and knocked, so it shouldn't be considered impolite.

Xin Hui went inside and first smelled a wonderful fragrance, which smelled very nice. However, he noticed that the room was not lit.

However, the moonlight seemed very bright.

Following the moonlight, they discovered a girl in purple standing on the balcony, gazing wistfully at the moon.

Just then, the sound of the door opening made Keqing turn around and spot Xinhui, instantly feeling a wave of embarrassment. She thought to herself, "The room shouldn't be too messy, right?"

However, these worries were unnecessary, because the moonlight was too dim for Xinhui to see anything in the room.

"Keqing, you really don't like the atmosphere here," Xinhui said casually.

Ke Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at him with a serious expression, but did not answer.

“Actually, I don’t like it either.” It was Xin Hui who spoke decisively first, then slowly walked to the balcony and stood in the bright moonlight.

"I feel I need to apologize to you. I promised to thank you, but I stayed here because of my own reasons, leaving you feeling neglected." Ke Qing's words carried a hint of sincerity.

Xin Hui shook his head slightly after hearing this, as if to indicate that he didn't need it. Then, he took out a slightly worn box from his pocket.

Gently open it, and inside is a bracelet, strung together with stones of various strange colors, which looks somewhat dreamlike under the moonlight.

He didn't use the hairpin that Elder Yun had given him because Xin Hui felt that Ke Qing hadn't changed her old hairpin all this time, which must mean it had special significance. That's why he prepared another gift.

However, this gift seemed more like a personal gift to Keqing.

After wearing it, the latter was also somewhat amazed by the strange light emanating from some of the stones.

Xin Hui prepared to leave, since he couldn't say much after entering the young girl's boudoir.

However, he was somewhat concerned about the restraint and pain in Ke Qing's originally melancholy eyes.

"If you feel stuck in a quagmire, why not go outside for a walk? Yujing Terrace, Yuehai Pavilion, or even Yiyu Pavilion can all be places for you to linger."

Chapter 18 Your Friend is Very Criminal

Xin Hui's words stunned Ke Qing, but before she could recover, Xin Hui had already left the room, followed by the sound of him going down the stairs.

Then, in the stillness, she heard Xin Hui's polite words, "Mr. Yun, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ke."

It seems he's really gone.

Ke Qing suddenly felt a pang of loneliness.

With a squeak.

The door opened slightly, and Ke Yun walked in from outside.

"Silly child." Ke Yun's slightly aged body was full of vicissitudes. He called out softly, and Ke Qing almost excitedly rushed into her grandfather's arms.

Yuheng Star also possesses a rare gentleness.

"If you can't stay here, like Xiaoxin said, leave here, and there will be many more places for you to stay."

Ke Yun watched Ke Qing grow up and was equally unwilling to let her stay in the Ke family and suffer. He naturally couldn't bear to see Ke Qing's pain.

He also tried to keep Ke Qing away from the family feuds of the Ke family, but at that time Ke Qing had no one to rely on but herself, even though she was a strong Yuheng star.

Ke Yun was still waiting for Ke Qing's answer, but this time, Ke Qing's voice was a little different.

“Okay…Grandfather.”

Ke Yun smiled with a hint of relief. He knew that in her decision, A Qing had chosen a path where she no longer needed him, and she would surely go higher and farther…

So the next day, when Xinhui saw Keqing arrive with a shy expression, he thought something serious had happened.

"Yiyu Pavilion, may I have a place to stay?" Keqing's nervousness was evident in her slightly trembling voice, as if she was afraid he would refuse her.

For Keqing, it was undoubtedly a great humiliation for a member of the Liyue Seven Stars to have to live in the home of a boy she hadn't even known a few days before.

Xinhui smiled, genuinely happy for Keqing.

"Of course, Yiyu Pavilion welcomes Keqing's arrival."

However, despite saying that, the thought of Keqing coming to live in Yiyu Pavilion made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Why do I feel this way?

"Xin, I'm here. Have you had breakfast?" It wasn't until she heard this gentle call that Xin Hui finally realized where her unease came from.

Thus, Gan Yu and Ke Qing met for the first time at Yi Yu Ge.

These two good friends, who often work together, were both quite surprised to see each other.

In particular, Gan Yu insisted on coming along after learning that Ke Qing was going to live in Yi Yu Ge!

"Xin, don't you welcome me? Yes, in that case, I'd feel bad bothering you." Gan Yu looked at Xin Hui's hesitant and troubled expression, and the look in her blue-purple eyes suddenly dimmed.

My pitiful expression is so endearing!

Who could bear to refuse? At least Xinhui himself didn't think he could.

"No, no, it'll be more lively with more people." Xinhui happily prepared to tidy up the room.

But when it came time to clean, he was dumbfounded. Yiyu Pavilion was a rented shop, and there weren't many rooms. Besides the main hall, there were two bedrooms and a storage room.

The storage room is piled high with items, especially clothing and fabrics, all in preparation for the upcoming Lantern Festival. The room is completely filled with these items, making it impossible to clear them out.

Since Xinhui also needs a room, it seems that Keqing and Ganyu will have to share a room.

"How about... I ask someone to help me find another place to live?" Xinhui said somewhat awkwardly. The only remaining room was quite small, barely big enough for a bed...

"Yes, renting another room will solve the problem," Xinhui thought.

However, they received the same answer from both of them.

"do not want!"

……

In the afternoon, just as Xinhui had finally finished tidying up the room and managed to get Keqing and Ganyu settled into Yiyuge, workers from the dock came to inform him again.

"Little rascal, you've died inside. There's cargo for you at the dock, come and get it quickly"—a friendly greeting from the dockworker who had been waiting at the door for a long time.

The people here are so kind and honest. Xinhui just hoped that this was a newly hired worker who was inexperienced, so that she could forgive him.

"Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Although on the surface one still has to be polite.

Without saying a word, Xinhui left the two curious people in the already furnished room and headed towards the dock.

However, as I walked along, I happened to see a familiar figure at Grandma Ping's stall.

That's Yanfei, a renowned legal consultant in Liyue.

Yan Fei wore a red ceremonial crown, pressing down her coral-colored, waist-length hair. White-to-yellow antlers, symbolizing her demigod status, extended outwards from both sides of her head. Yan Fei's attire was very revealing, with her waist and legs completely exposed. A red and white scarf connected to a red top, and a red round scarf was tied over a black skirt, with a yellow bow on the left side. Her arms were covered with white arm protectors with red pincers, and there were a few white scales on the backs of her hands and sides. She looked like a lively and adorable young girl.

I've heard that she has memorized tens of thousands of legal articles and can skillfully apply the law according to the time and place to properly handle every case. That being said, Yan Fei is by no means a person who sticks to the rules. "Flexibility" within the scope of law and reason is her style.

Moreover, when Xinhui first set up Yiyuge, he consulted Yanfei about some legal and business issues that he didn't understand, and only then were they resolved.

"Hello, Yanfei," Xinhui greeted her.

Yanfei first waved her small hand with red sleeves, then said, "Oh, it's Xinhui. What's up? Or is there something you don't understand about the 'Liyue Management Method' I taught you last time?"

“Well, it’s like this… I have a friend…” Xin Hui was about to speak awkwardly when Yan Fei interrupted him.

"Hey, how can you make something out of nothing? In my years of experience, only criminals try to alleviate their guilt in this way."

"However... seeing how honest you are, I'll consider you a friend for now."

Yan Fei looked at him knowingly, which made Xin Hui suddenly feel guilty, but he still continued to speak.

"My friend lives with two really, really pretty girls at the same time. If he likes both of them and makes advances towards both, is my friend guilty?"

"I thought it was something important, but it's just this." Yan Fei looked completely uninterested.

"Leaving the law aside, your friend just wanted to give the girl he liked a warm home, right? It just so happens that he likes two girls."

Yeah yeah…

Xin Hui couldn't help but agree. This friend must be a very loving person, even though he didn't know who this friend was.

"Then, is it permissible to punish my friend?" Xinhui asked tentatively.

Yan Fei: "Then it has to be done! Your friend is very good at it!"

Chapter Nineteen: The Beacon of Praise

"Don't be so nervous, I was just trying to scare you," Yan Fei said playfully, before patiently explaining to Xin Hui.

"In fact, most of Liyue's laws are based on Teyvat's rules and have also been influenced by neighboring countries. Since Mondstadt's concept of freedom has taken root, we, the legislators of Liyue, have incorporated their ideas into the laws."

"What about polygamy or polyandry? As long as it's consensual, the law won't interfere."

Hearing this, Xinhui finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Yanfei." After thanking her, Xinhui walked towards the dock, thinking that she needed to hurry up and get the rest of the fabric back; the dress for the Lantern Festival couldn't be delayed any longer.

That night, Ke Qing and Gan Yu went outside and bought some decorations, saying they wanted to make the room look prettier.

Xin Hui naturally wouldn't peek at the two of them being together. He tactfully returned to his desk, lit the oil lamp, and occasionally heard laughter coming from the room, which made him chuckle as well.

We weren't even that close during the day.

For Xinhui, as long as Keqing and Ganyu are happier here, nothing else matters.

He brought his hand close to the oil lamp, looking at the magnified shadow, and felt it was time. Then, rousing himself, he smoothly and effortlessly made the last few sets of men's formal wear.

Just how stunning are the dresses made by Xinhui?

To put it simply, when he brought the formal attire to Qunyu Pavilion the next day to deliver the goods, even the well-informed secretaries at Qunyu Pavilion couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of those formal dresses.

They were naturally happy to accept these dresses.

“Let Lady Ningguang check it, right? Let me see, the number of dresses… is correct, then let’s get it done as soon as possible,” one of the assistants said to Xinhui.

"Then I will wait here for Lady Ningguang's reply."
