Liyue. The land of stone and contracts. You'd moved there in your early adulthood and had seen event after event. Rex Lapis' death, Osial, the annual Lantern Rite, the list goes on. Some time later, you'd gained enough infamy to be invited to a party in the Jade Chamber held by the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing.

You walked around and met many famous names, Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, etcetera. You'd struck up a conversation with Ningguang, learning she was the richest person in Teyvat and practically commanded all of Liyue's business practices. Alongside being a colleague of Keqing. Having already waved Keqing over, Ningguang whispered something to her before walking off and ushering you closer.

You struck up a conversation with Keqing, and in the blink of an eye three weeks had past. Keqing had bashfully asked you on a date, with the night spent in the most romantic place she could have thought of. Mt. Hulao. With a bottle of wine and two glasses, you spoke with her for hours. Somehow it ended up with a nervous kiss on the cheek from her.

The next date was at Wanmin Restaurant, and since you didn't speak or comprehend Liyuean, Keqing had to order for you.

The... this one. Please. You had to point to an item on the menu that looked tasty, but your mind swirled at the language on the menu.

"The Jué yún làjiāo jī? Sure. You know, I should teach you Liyuean. You'll never make it in Liyue if you can't." Keqing murmured the last parts more to herself than you. An idea for if you stuck around and did become a couple.

Four more months passed, and you did become a couple. And her idea finally did come to fruition. Right now, your head laid in your girlfriend's lap as you read through the booklet she handed you to learn Liyuean as you repeated words and she corrected you, being Liyuean herself.

"No, it's pronounced Wǒ ài nǐ, even you shouldn't mess that up. Again, next page." She reprimanded, encouraging yet disheartening, but you knew she loved you dearly. This was just something she was invested in.
