15 minutes had passed.
Kazuha, Heizou and Keqing had finally reached the outskirts of Liyue City. What they saw was a wall constructed by Geo blocking their entry. Keqing placed a 'Paper Talisman' on some engravements on the wall. Suddenly, an entrance emerged.
Keqing signaled them to enter. Later, a group of Milleleth walked towards her, asking her who the two gentlemen beside her were. Keqing simply told them, "They're my assistants."
The Milleleth didn't inquire further and left.
"Well... this is it... The construction site of Liyue City...." Keqing Said.
Kazuha and Heizou were amazed. They witnessed a countless amount of construction workers and the work that had already happened within two years. Keqing then showed them around.
"The city is almost complete. It will take about a week to complete it. Enjoy, but be careful."
Kazuha and Heizou then took Keqing to the spot she wanted to stop at. When they had arrived, they saw an elegant girl with blue hair. It was Ganyu.
Ganyu spoke softly, "Lady Keqing!"
Keqing replied, Slightly irritated, "Ganyu... no need to be so formal... just call me Keqing..."
Ganyu shuddered. "Oh! Uh... I must have forgotten."
A packed lunch was then thrown on the table. "Here. I've picked up lunch. Let's enjoy it together." Said Keqing. They then enjoyed their meal as Kazuha and Heizou excused themselves to enjoy the scenery.
They took a walk around the site, holding hands. Kazuha then took out the chocolates Heizou and got him and began eating them.
Kazuha looked up at Heizou and blushed lightly. Heizou noticed his flushed cheeks and held it gently with his hand.
Heizou then let out a peaceful smile, and whisphered in his ear, "I'll always be yours. You are my significant other."
Kazuha cutely looked downwards and blush softly, looking like an innocent child.
Heizou then grabbed a piece of chocolate and fed it to Kazuha. Kazuha blushed, surprised with Heizou's behavior today.
"Hehe... my boyfriend looks cute~." Heizou said.
Kazuha blushed even more and sighed, letting a soft whispher out, "It tastes even better when you feed me." Kazuha then leaned forward and gave a light kiss on Heizou's cheek.
Heizou blushed aswell.
Kazuha then grabbed Heizou's hand after finishing the box of chocolates, and proceeded to clean up with him. Their gazes met, as one tried to help the other.
After a while, they proceeded to go to the northern region of the site. They were greeted with huge buildings under construction, with the Jade Chamber floating above with its mighty grace.
Suddenly, from their back, Keqing and Ganyu tapped their shoulders, which startled them. Kazuha and Heizou then asked Keqing what work they could do.
Keqing just thought for a while and simply said, "There's nothing you need to do. Although... you could deliver a package to the Jade Chamber for me. It's a package for the 'Kaiyang' and Ningguang."
"The packages contents aren't too valuable and are not fragile. It's just some souvenirs from Mondstadt. There's a wooden lyre, some wooden carvings and an iron box which seems to be a small trinket inside."
Heizou and Kazuha gladly accepted her request and received the 'Guest code' to the enter and walked away holding hands once more. Keqing looked at the two and decided to tease Ganyu. "Why don't we ever hold hands?"
Ganyu jumped in shock, and yelled,"L-Lady Keqing!" Keqing laughed and began to tell her, "pfft- Ganyu, I was merely joking."
Several minutes passed. They had arrived at almost arrived at Yujing Terrace.
Suddenly, a knife flew past them, scratching Kazuha in the process.
Kazuha frantically pulled out his blade and tried to find the attacker. Heizou yelled at Kazuha and asked him to run away. However, Kazuha did not listen.
Suddenly, a group of treasure hoarders approached the boys from the back and restrained them with ropes. They then stole the package and ran off.
Luckily for them, Kazuha cut the ropes with his blade's ability to disintegrate objects.
Heizou then got frustrated. Not because of the package being taken, but because of Kazuha's stubbornness.
"Kazuha! Why didn't you listen to me?" He yelled. "I planned on taking them out and getting them arrested." Kazuha replied. However, Heizou refuted his argument by putting his safety first. "What's the point if you hurt yourself trying?"
They began to argue even more. Gradually, the argument escalated until finally, they both stood silent. Heizou looked at Kazuha. He then spoke the words which made Kazuha lose his train of thought.
"You know what? Since we don't agree on this, why don't we split up? You try your way, I'll try mine. Just tell me if you get hurt. I'll be thereif anything goes wrong, okay?"
Heizou then walked off, looking for trails left by the perpetrators.
Kazuha was disheartened. Although Heizou had not said anything bad, Kazuha couldn't control his emotions.
"Why don't we split up?"
Those words echoed through Kazuha's head. He looked sorrowfully and ran to catch the treasure hoarders. With Kazuha's connection and attunement to the wind, he could easily catch trail of the Treasure Hoarders.
Kazuha eventually caught up to them and prepared an ambush.
