The girl's voice quickly attracted the attention of several people, and Keqing put down the documents in her hands and walked over.

"Ke...Senior Keqing!"

Xiang Ling, who seemed to have endless energy, returned to her usual state after taking a short rest, but she became unusually reserved when she saw Ke Qing.

And unlike the Xiangling that Bai Qiyun saw on weekdays, Guoba, who had been following her around, was not present at this time.

Coupled with Xiangling's outfit, could it be...

"You didn't come here just after school, did you?"

Crossing the long table in front of him, Bai Qiyun slowly walked up to the two of them, the corners of his eyes raised slightly.

"Brother Qiyun...hehe, you have guessed this."

The palm of her hand reached the back of the girl's head, and Xiang Ling touched the black-blue hair behind her with some embarrassment.

Like a petted cat, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the beanie eyebrows hanging on his forehead also wrinkled slightly.

"Xiang Ling? Are you here to sign up too?"

Ke Qing has a certain impression of this lively school girl.

It's just that there aren't many opportunities to talk in school. Once it comes to Xiang Ling's affairs, Bai Qiyun, who is more familiar with her, will basically handle it. As time goes by, there will be no chance to communicate.

"Yes, I heard that there will be a chef cooking competition at Zhuyue Festival, but I have a class this afternoon and I can't get away from it. Is it still too late to sign up now?"

Judging from Xiangling's eager expression, she is indeed more concerned about this event.

But if you spend an afternoon like this...

Bai Qiyun drooped his eyelids and folded his hands in front of his chest.

Having extensive experience in mind wandering, he naturally knows that if you are in this state during class, you will basically be thinking about one thing all afternoon, and you will definitely not be able to listen to anything in class.

"It's in time, of course it's in time, although it might have been worse if you had come later."

Hearing this, Ke Qing took the registration form from Bai Qiyun's hand and handed it to Xiang Ling in front of her.

"This is the last spot. You really came at the right time."

"Yes, this is the last one..."

Um?

Bai Qiyun echoed Ke Qing's words and found something was wrong.

Wait? The last one?

The young man tilted his head stiffly, his eyes burning.

"the last one?"

Bai Qiyun unconsciously raised his voice, and his surprise was beyond words.

"Yes, the registration form in your hand is the last one."

The young man's surprise made Keqing a little confused. There was nothing surprising about this.

She looked at the registration materials that had been sorted out on the other desktops with a matter-of-fact expression.

"Then...what should I do?"

Looking at the last registration form taken away by Ke Qing, Bai Qiyun felt as if he had been deceived that day.

"What should I do? Aren't you here to help?"

Keqing still felt a little strange, wasn't this guy sent by Teacher Nanli to help?

"Ah? But I'm here to sign up."

The young man stood there, somewhat confused.

"?"

"?"

For a moment, the two looked at each other.

Purple eyes met black pupils full of question marks. The girl and boy stood looking at each other, and the awkward atmosphere gradually spread.

After a while, Bai Qiyun took the initiative to look away. After all, it wouldn't be good to stare at a girl all the time.

He couldn't figure it out and could only touch his hair.

"No, is there a limit on the number of people who can sign up for this official event?"

Seeing that this was indeed the case and that Ke Qing had no intention of lying to him, Bai Qiyun tried to find out what was unreasonable in the activity.

"Of course, do you think that there will be no plans for the venue arrangements and the number of judges? There are a total of 640 groups of contestants, and one out of ten will be selected in the audition. The workload of this alone is huge.

Ridiculous."

Faced with the young man's doubts, Keqing clearly revealed the subsequent arrangements to him.

"Then this..."

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun finally understood that his work this afternoon was in vain.

Seeing the somewhat tense atmosphere between Bai Qiyun and Keqing, Xiangling subconsciously held her hands in front of her chest and took a step back.

After seeing that the two of them did not argue further, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um... I see on the registration list that you can form a team."

Xiangling's eyes kept swaying between the two of them, and she gathered her right hand.

"Are you forming a team..."

Looking at the registration form lying in Xiangling's hand, Bai Qiyun could only lower his head as if resigned to his fate.

Who told him that he didn't use his position to sign up for himself before?

How careless.

——————

After much tossing, Bai Qiyun finally signed up with Xiang Ling's help.

It's just that when he teams up with Xiangling, there's always a wonderful feeling.

The two people who were supposed to be rivals actually got together through various coincidences. It was really fate.

Putting the registration materials in his pocket, Bai Qiyun watched as Ke Qing, who had finished her work, was instructing several assistants to transport the relevant materials to various relevant departments.

Xiangling left quickly after signing up. Unlike Bai Qiyun's family restaurant, she was the leading chef at Wanmintang, at least not inferior to Master Mao.

But Bai Qiyun didn't need to worry. Today's order basically had nothing to do with him. The old man wouldn't let him go into the kitchen to help. A new waiter was hired in the restaurant. Anyway, he had nothing to do when he went back. He was just waiting wherever he was.

The autumn wind passed by his ears, causing waves of chill. Bai Qiyun leaned on the railing nearby and watched the figure of the purple-haired girl jumping back and forth.

"It's really busy."

I don't know how long it took, but Keqing, who walked out of the office, finally finished her work and saw someone who was bored there.

Bai Qiyun raised his eyes slightly and said hello lazily.

"Really? I'm used to it."

With nothing to do, after get off work, Ke Qing also leaned on the railing on the side and looked at Liyue Harbor under the sunset.

The dim sunshine shines on the port in early autumn, covering the earth with a golden coat.

The autumn wind swirled forward step by step, causing the girl's skirt to move and her hair to fly.

Perhaps this posture made Bai Qiyun feel a little uncomfortable. He stretched out and put his arms on the railing in front of him.

The cold touch of metal extended upwards along the skin and penetrated the young man's arms.

"Speaking of which, Prince Yan doesn't care about these things."

The rare quiet atmosphere made Bai Qiyun speak unconsciously and chat with Ke Qing beside him.

"What are you talking about? How could Prince Yan handle these matters personally? Besides, although Prince Yan is a god, he cannot do everything. Otherwise, what else would we, the Seven Stars of Liyue, do?"

In the land of Liyue, Ke Qing's words were somewhat disrespectful, but after hearing them, the young man around him was not surprised at all.

After spending several years together with Keqing, Bai Qiyun has figured out this woman's temperament, and he somewhat agrees with her statement.

Sometimes, gods are not omnipotent.

"Emperors can't do everything. In the final analysis, Liyue is still a country of humans, and humans still have to control their own destiny."

Keqing continued to explain her thoughts to the young man in front of her.

"But this is still a world under the rule of gods. No matter what, your ideas are just fantasy."

The young man closed his eyes and waved his hands helplessly.

"Then go and change the world with your own hands."

Holding his hands tightly, his purple hair was blowing in the wind, but Ke Qing's expression became more determined, as if bursts of light were shining on him. Bai Qiyun was so stung that he couldn't open his eyes and could only turn his head away.

But in fact, Bai Qiyun knew that it was just because he didn't want to face that brave girl.

"To change the world or something, the direction of our efforts is too high."

"That's better than lying here lazily."

As usual, the girl's words are always sharp and reasonable.

But Bai Qiyun was not in the mood to argue with her now. He turned to look at the market not far away.

The noise of people coming and going seemed to be separated from him by a thick city wall, all disappearing in the wind.

The kingdom of man...

Inexplicably, Bai Qiyun thought of the ancient demon beside Qingce Village before.

If we didn't rely on gods, would humans really be able to fight back against that kind of existence?
