I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

"Apologize?" Su Chen tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

Keqing sighed softly, took back the fish in her hand, took out a dark golden hairpin from her hair, and explained shamefully: "Actually... the reason you fainted is because of me... I used the hairpin to add lightning elemental power to electrocute fish in the river... I didn't expect you would be implicated."

Hearing this, Su Chen's expression became a little complicated. He knew that water could conduct electricity, and he naturally understood this common sense. His silence was not because he didn't understand, but because he could only smile helplessly at this sudden accident.

Seeing Su Chen silent, Keqing thought he was angry.

A trace of guilt welled up in her heart. She held the grilled fish skewers tightly in both hands and resolutely handed them to Su Chen. She raised her voice slightly with a hint of urgency: "This fish is really delicious! In order to replenish your energy and for the afternoon practice, even if it's just for me, please try a little. Staying healthy is the most important thing."

Su Chen looked at her serious eyes and responded with a chuckle: "Since you made it yourself, of course I have to eat it. Besides, this is not your fault."

He took the grilled fish from Keqing's hand and examined it carefully. The skin was crispy and slightly burnt. He did not hesitate and took a big bite, muttering, "Mm, really good, delicious!" At the same time, he subconsciously raised his thumb to express his appreciation for this special grilled fish.

The fish skin baked with the thunder element is slightly blackened, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The fish meat is as white as snow and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth. It is absolutely the best delicacy.

"Su Chen..." Keqing watched him eat with gusto, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled slightly and couldn't help but said, "If you like, I can do it for you in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Keqing suddenly realized the meaning of her words and quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Her cheeks flushed with shame. She hurriedly explained: "No, that's not what I meant... I just said..."

She was usually capable and calm, but she always seemed to become flustered unconsciously in front of Su Chen. She felt a little confused at the moment, so she had to make up excuses to try to hide the subtle feelings in her heart.

"Huh? Keqing, what did you say just now?" Su Chen asked curiously while enjoying the delicious grilled fish, and then quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth.

Keqing sensed Su Chen's slowness and couldn't help but sigh softly. She lowered her head slightly, shook her head in disappointment, and thought to herself: "What am I worried about..." She was about to put the hairpin back into her hair.

Su Chen noticed Keqing's hairpin, stopped what he was doing, and asked curiously: "Keqing, your hairpin looks very old, why don't you change to a new one?" Although the dark golden hairpin was old, it revealed an extraordinary temperament.

After hearing this, Keqing's eyes flashed with pride: "This? Its ancient beauty is its unique charm."

Su Chen silently memorized this detail in his mind, then continued to eat the fish, thinking: "No matter what, eating is the most important thing."

“Let’s get going once Paimon wakes up,” Keqing suggested calmly.

Su Chen nodded and responded, "No problem." Then he saw Keqing leaning against the tree, taking out a piece of kraft paper from her arms, picking up a sharp branch, and began to sketch on the paper.

Putting down the fish bone, Su Chen clapped his hands, stood up, stretched, walked to Keqing, and asked curiously: "Keqing, what are you writing?"

His mentality has changed, he has let go of his previous prejudices, and now just wants to know more about this girl who once made him love and hate.

"I designed this sketch about architecture while you were injured." Keqing held up an exquisite sketch, her eyes sparkling with creativity. "You were wrapped in bandages at the time, and I didn't have a chance to show it to you."

She gently pinched her chin, pondered for a moment, and then handed it to Su Chen: "As my assistant, you should take a look."

A trace of displeasure suddenly flashed across Keqing's face. "But the day before yesterday, when I was about to implement this plan, some conservatives stepped forward to stop me. They said that I was too anxious and violated Liyue's traditions and the Emperor's teachings."

Her voice revealed helplessness and anger: "They have always been immersed in the favor of God, but never consider the future of mankind. Their thinking has become dull and lazy. Why should I listen to their opposition, why should they stop me..." Keqing sighed deeply, her eyes full of disappointment in her believers.

"Well, let me take a look." Su Chen realized that this matter was very important to Keqing, so he picked up the sketch and studied it carefully.

He saw that Keqing was planning a grand outdoor hall, but knew that was not the point, so he asked curiously, "What is this building going to be used for?"

Keqing explained: "For a long time, the enthusiasm of the people of Liyue and the driving force of economic construction have relied on their faith in the Emperor. I want to build this hall to provide a platform for free communication and competition, where people can demonstrate their autonomy and creativity, while focusing on equality, order, and openness to effectively utilize Liyue's abundant resources."

She paused and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Su Chen was silent for a while, thinking. The memory of his past life told him that Keqing's idea was actually quite forward-looking. He nodded slightly, and he already had the answer in his mind.

Su Chen smiled slightly, his deep eyes revealing his understanding and support for Keqing. He said gently, "Remember what I said that day? Regarding your ideal, you should focus on the common belief in God in your heart, and innovate based on the needs of the people in the outside world. You have already done it in the outside world, but what about in your heart?"

His words flowed out slowly: "I think the reason why those diehards stopped you might be because of the problem of method. You can completely incorporate the elements of the Rock King Emperor into the architectural design to show that your actions are to honor the Emperor. In this way, not only will they not oppose it, but they may even be proud of you."

Keqing listened intently. She quickly sat up straight and listened attentively to Su Chen's advice.

"As for the issue of resource allocation, you can communicate with Tianquan Xing Ningguang. Her love for Mora will make her seize any opportunity to make a profit. In this way, she will also help you in other ways. In addition..." Su Chen continued, "You can go to the Wangsheng Hall and find the guest official named Zhongli. He is knowledgeable and can definitely provide you with a more perfect strategy."

He thought silently in his heart:

When Zhongli was mentioned, Keqing showed a strange expression on her face: "Zhongli? Yes, I have seen him. Although he was a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, his old-fashioned ways were too similar to the Emperor. I wanted to recruit him for my own use."

Keqing sighed softly and expressed her regret for this difficult to recruit talent.

Su Chen smiled and comforted her: "Keqing, these are not obstacles on the road to pursuing your ideals. I believe in your abilities."

As the bonfire gradually died out, the surroundings fell into darkness. Keqing looked at Su Chen and saw a halo flickering around him. She felt warm but a little shy. She couldn't help but lower her head to hide the shyness on her face, not wanting Su Chen to see her embarrassment at the moment.

Keqing's heartbeat quickened, and she felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement she had never felt before.

"Keqing, are you okay?" Su Chen noticed Keqing's unusual behavior. She not only lowered her head, but also unconsciously took a few steps back. He asked with concern.

Keqing forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and tried her best to regain her composure: "It's okay, I just think your suggestion is very inspiring. I will try to modify some designs to see if it works."

Although she tried to keep her voice calm, the fluctuations in her eyes still revealed her inner turmoil. Keqing smiled slightly, with the innocence of a young girl on her face: "Su Chen, do you know? Ever since you became my assistant, as time goes by, I feel more and more that you are my ideal person."

Su Chen was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "Huh?"

Seeing Su Chen's shocked expression, Keqing smiled and said jokingly, "Why are you so surprised? I mean, in order to build the ideal Liyue Harbor in my mind, you are very important to me."

She slowly approached Su Chen, and their figures became clearer in the dim light of the campfire. A gentle smile appeared on Keqing's face, and her eyes seemed to reflect Su Chen's figure, making the darkness around her no longer important.

Chapter 206 Keqing: I think we can make an agreement

Under Keqing's gentle smile, Su Chen couldn't help but be dazed and was deeply attracted by her charm.

Keqing turned around lightly, put her hands behind her back, and said playfully: "It is a difficult task to leave a human mark on the emperor's land. I think we can make a deal."

She stretched out her right hand, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "When the new era of Liyue Harbor arrives, let me take you to see it. Only by witnessing the changes here with your own eyes can you testify to our efforts and your support."

Su Chen listened to Keqing's words, and a heavy burden seemed to be released from his heart, and a bright smile bloomed on his face. He reached out his hand, held Keqing's hand tightly, and promised softly: "I will always be with you until your dream comes true. When that day comes, we will go together to greet the first sunrise of the new era, how about it?"

Keqing's eyes sparkled with tenderness. She firmly held Su Chen's hand back and said, "Then it's settled. This is our agreement."

Next to them was a bonfire that was gradually dying out, but as their words fell, a flickering spark rekindled the half-extinguished firewood, as if symbolizing the hope and determination in their hearts.

Two days later, in the afterglow of the setting sun, in front of Wanmin Hall, Keqing waved goodbye: "Su Chen, see you tomorrow!"

One end of the street was shrouded in the dim light of the setting sun, and in this dim light, Keqing's smile looked even brighter. Su Chen smiled and waved in response: "Well, bye."

Seeing Su Chen's response, Keqing nodded contentedly, then turned and left lightly, leaving behind a youthful back.

After taking a few steps, Keqing suddenly turned around as if she had a flash of inspiration, and covered her mouth with her hands to form a trumpet shape. Her voice traveled through the evening breeze and reached Su Chen's ears clearly: "Su Chen, don't be late tomorrow morning!"

Su Chen accidentally tripped and quickly steadied himself. He turned to look at Keqing and forced a smile: "Got it, got it."

Watching Keqing's figure gradually fade away in the afterglow of the sunset until she disappeared from sight, Su Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against a pillar beside the street with a tired look on his face. Paimeng next to him seemed a little worried: "Su Chen, are you okay?"

Su Chen shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly and said: "It's okay, just a little tired..."

He looked in the direction where Keqing left again, his eyes full of helplessness and fatigue. He did not realize that Keqing's recent excitement and vitality were actually a manifestation of her inner excitement. As for the reason behind it, perhaps only Keqing herself knew it.

Su Chen sighed softly: "Forget it, I have indeed learned a lot these days. Have a good night's rest. Tomorrow is a new day."

After saying that, he patted her shoulders and walked into the hall. As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw Xiangling grabbing her hair anxiously, looking a little flustered: "Su Chen, you are finally here!"

When Su Chen returned to Wanmin Hall, Xiang Ling's eyes immediately sparkled with hope. She quickly stepped in front of him, eagerly grabbed his hand, and her voice was filled with anxiety: "Su Chen, you are finally back! Go and see your sister, she almost overturned the newly renovated Wanmin Hall!"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly: "Sister? Do I have a sister?"

Xiangling muttered softly: "Yes, that cute and naughty little devil..." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Hearing this, Su Chen was confused. He hadn't even started looking for his sister Ying yet, so why was she here?

Paimeng next to him said helplessly: "Su Chen, how could you forget the original intention of looking for your sister?"

Su Chen scratched his head awkwardly: "How could I forget? I miss her all the time."

After saying that, he quickly passed Xiangling and Paimeng and headed straight for the second floor.

He stood in front of the door of his guest room, took a deep breath, and was about to push the door, but found that the door was slowly opened from the inside.

"Eh...?" Su Chen looked at the door slowly opening in surprise.

Behind the door, a girl in a light blue silver dress came into view. Her golden hair hung down leisurely, and two small braids beside her ears swayed gently. Her delicate face looked a little confused. However, soon, her expression turned into incomparable joy.

"Brother Chen, you're finally back!" The girl opened her arms excitedly and threw herself into Su Chen's arms without hesitation.

"Wait... Wow!" The voice echoed softly in the air with a hint of surprise.

Su Chen was tightly hugged by the girl, and felt a slight imbalance. He struggled to steady himself, but in the end he was unable to resist this sudden gentle attack, and he staggered and fell to the soft floor.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Su Chen groaned slightly. However, there was a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

When he was trying to recover, two cold and smooth jade-like hands gently touched his cheeks. Su Chen opened his eyes and saw the girl's flushed face in front of him, so close.

In the depths of those golden eyes, he saw a strange flash of red light, as if hiding some unfathomable emotion.

For some reason, Su Chen suddenly thought of an adjective when he saw this red light - "possessiveness".

However, "possessiveness" alone seemed insufficient to describe the feeling. As the blush on the girl's cheeks gradually approached, the scarlet light gradually expanded in Su Chen's eyes. While Su Chen struggled to stand up, he found a more appropriate description for this feeling in his heart - "poisonous possessiveness".

Three days later, in front of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The rising morning sun cast a few faint rays of light, shining through the layers of clouds and illuminating the black shadows of the stone pavilions in front of the pavilion. In this gentle sunlight, one of the shadows swayed gently in the breeze, as if playing with the morning light.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover a purple-haired girl leaning gently against the stone pavilion. She is dressed in gorgeous purple-blue clothing, and her delicate figure blends in with the shadows, as if she is bathing in the lonely sunshine.

"Wait... Wow!" The girl's sudden hug caught Su Chen off guard. His steps staggered and he fell heavily on the cold floor.

"It hurts, it hurts..." Before Su Chen's moaning sound completely dissipated, he felt two cold but soft jade-like hands gently caressing his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl's flushed face close at hand.

There seemed to be a strange red light flashing in the girl's golden eyes, a deep and unfathomable color. Su Chen couldn't help but think of a word - possessiveness.

But this was not enough. As the girl's face gradually approached, the scarlet light in her eyes also expanded in Su Chen's eyes. While Su Chen struggled hard, he had a more accurate description in his mind - poisonous possession.

Three days later, in front of the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The morning sun penetrated the thin clouds, casting a few faint rays of light. This weak morning light cast a dark shadow on the small stone pavilion, as if dancing with the morning light. The shadow seemed to sway gently in the breeze.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a purple-haired girl in purple-blue clothes leaning quietly in front of the stone pavilion. Her delicate figure blends with the shadows, as if she is enjoying the lonely sunshine.

The girl frowned slightly and raised her hands to block out the glaring sunlight. When she looked forward again, she seemed to vaguely see a special figure rushing towards her.

PS: I will write Keqing’s welfare chapter tomorrow. It is expected that there will be two Keqing welfare chapters.

Chapter 207 Encountering Shura Field, Green Tea Girl

"Keqing——!" The morning sun was still a little gentle, and a familiar and energetic call echoed in the air.

"Travel... Paimon?" Keqing heard the voice, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She turned around and saw the figure flying towards her. The voice was gentle, with a little uncertainty, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.

Paimon, a lively elf, fluttered around her, as if dancing happily. Her cheeks puffed up slightly, revealing a sweet smile: "Huhu, good morning, Keqing."

"Well, good morning." Keqing's voice was soft, but her eyes were a little melancholy, "Paimon, isn't Su Chen coming today?" Her eyes swept behind Paimon, looking for the figure of the blond boy, but there was no one there.

Three days ago, Su Chen had been feeling unwell due to the fatigue from the training and needed to rest for a few days. Paimeng came over to help Keqing with her little strength.

Paimon's eyes dodged for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. She nodded vigorously, trying to make herself look more confident: "Uh...well, don't worry, he'll be fine soon!"

After hearing this, Keqing was still a little worried, but she nodded gently: "I see... I have been busy with work these days and have not been able to visit him. When things slow down a little, I will find a chance to visit him."

As she spoke, her eyes dropped slightly, and a trace of barely perceptible loneliness flashed across them. She shook her head slightly, as if trying to get rid of the emotions in her heart, and then set out on the road to work.

The thought in my mind was simple. I just hoped that I could work side by side with the blond boy who always had a gentle smile on his face on the new architectural design project that was about to begin, and witness its growth and prosperity together.

A trace of worry flashed through Paimon's heart. She looked at Keqing's quickly departing back, sighing while flying lightly in the direction of the girl.

At the same time, in a quiet corner of Wanmin Hall, the restaurant had not yet reached its peak dining time and was unusually quiet.

In this tranquility, a small table for two stands out. On the table are placed a wide variety of delicacies, emitting tempting aromas, as if telling of the exquisite cooking skills.

The blonde girl Yingmei was holding a silver spoon, picking up a piece of tender white fish from the plate and gently passing it to Su Chen's lips. Her eyes were full of concern and love: "Brother, open your mouth, ah~"

Su Chen's expression was complicated, with a hint of evasion passing through his eyes. He turned his head slightly: "...Sister Ying, we are not children anymore."

Yingmei's face blossomed with a warm smile, and she said firmly: "I don't care about these. Brother, you didn't have breakfast, so I specially picked these delicacies for you. You must try them. Not only for me, but also for Xiangling who has been busy all morning, right?"

As she spoke, she turned to Xiangling with a smile in her eyes. Xiangling felt that gaze and her heart tightened. She had been lying on the table tiredly, but now she quickly stood up and tried her best to look relaxed, shouting to Su Chen: "That's right, sister Ying took the trouble to order so many delicacies for you, brother, you should be grateful and enjoy them!"

Xiangling's words revealed the fatigue that she tried hard to conceal, but her eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy.

Yingmei nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes revealed deeper emotions as she looked at Su Chen, as if all her concerns on this quiet morning were focused on the fish in the silver spoon.

"Okay, eat quickly, Brother Chen." There was a hint of playfulness in Yingmei's voice. Her little hand held the silver spoon, and she looked at Su Chen tenderly, and the spoon gently approached his mouth.

Su Chen knew that he could not escape this affectionate care, so he nodded helplessly, opened his mouth slightly, and accepted Yingmei's feeding. Although his action was a little reluctant, Yingmei did not seem to notice it. A satisfied smile bloomed on her face, and she continued to scoop the delicious food in the bowl lightly.

"I heard from Xiangling that after you came to Liyue, you were busy with work every day and hardly had a good breakfast...That Keqing is so ignorant." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Yingmei's words, but her smile was still sweet.

"Don't say anything, brother. I understand. That woman is just using you coldly." Yingmei's voice was gentle but firm. She put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She stepped back a few steps, hugged her arms, and raised her little mouth slightly, revealing a naughty and cute smile: "Unlike me, I only feel sorry for giegie~"

"..."
