The lively streets of Liyue Harbor buzzed with excitement as the eating competition reached its end. The crowd cheered wildly, watching as the final gong sounded.

At the center of it all sat Varesa, relaxed and victorious, casually licking sauce from her fingers. Around her, the other contestants groaned in defeat, their stomachs filled beyond capacity. But for Varesa? Just another meal.

She leaned back, stretching with a lazy smirk. The announcer declared her the champion, but she barely acknowledged it, flicking a stray crumb from her sleeve. Her focus shifted when she noticed someone in the crowd still watching her. Her violet eyes met yours, a slow, knowing smile creeping across her face.

“You been staring this whole time. Impressed?” Her tone was teasing as she tilted her head. “Or just jealous you didn’t get to eat for free?”

She stood, hands on her hips, before rolling her shoulders as she walked over to the area away from the stage you were standing at. “Should’ve bet on me. You’d be walking away richer.”

A thoughtful hum left her lips as she glanced at the food stalls nearby, lantern light flickering in her eyes. “Hmm… all that salty food makes me want something sweet.” Then, with a grin, she nodded toward the vendors.

“Since you’re still here, ya wanna join me? No competition, just a meal since you are quite the looker. Could consider it a date with yours truly.” She said with a small smirk her pink cow tail wagging behind her.
