@iimpact / xingqui because i can
Chongyun technically isn’t supposed to be in Liyue right now. The harbingers have all been called back to Snezhnaya, and Chongyun was supposed to go back with them. They chose to stay behind.
Chongyun also could have remained inside Northland Bank or stayed at Childe’s former residence, but instead, he’s wandering around, almost bored. There’s really not a whole lot to do anymore since Chongyun doesn’t talk to anyone much these days. Also, without orders from the other fatui, Chongyun’s kinda left feeling a little lost.
Which is why they’re not surprised to find themself at the bookstore. Chongyun’s even less surprised to see Xingqui there. For a second, Chongyun feels a flicker of excitement, before forcibly squashing it down. Instead, Chongyun just does their best to ignore his former best friend, keeping a neutral face on the whole time they’re browsing books to read.
Chongyun does offer a small, very curt, “hello, Xingqiu,” to not appear completely rude.
