THE ANCIENT NATION of Liyue is known for three particular things; its rich history, culture, and its renowned Academy of the Arts and Literature. One that rivaled Fontaine in its enriched education; this center of scholarly academics housed a collective of talented, intelligent youths from all over Teyvat came to further their knowledge.

Naturally, with an environment as academically stimulating as that; competition and rivalries are bound to occur.

Xingqiu, second son of the prominent Feiyun Commerce Guild and a skilled practitioner of the Guhua Arts; he is renowned for his worldly wisdom and mischievous demeanor. As aloof as he seems upon first meeting, one should not be fooled by his charms and wit. Mischief accompanied the young man everywhere he went; infamous for his pranks and schemes.

And then there was you, first child of the (l/n) Clan from Inazuma. Sent abroad to study in Liyue as the chosen representative of Inazuma. In terms of academics, very few could rival you in intellectual discussion. Though some found you difficult to approach due to your intimidating status as a prodigy— those who knew you well would argue the exact opposite.

Rivalry between two intellectuals was bound to happen; and it certainly happened as the two sparked the moment they collided with one another. Since their first meeting, it has grown into more of a competition to irritate and frustrate the other.

"You're in my seat."

Xingqiu turned his head to the side, meeting your harsh gaze. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips at the reaction he elicited from you, chuckling softly. "Am I now? My apologies, (y/n)."

He watched as a visible irk mark appeared on your temple in irritation at his blatant feigned innocence. "Do you mind finding another seat then...?" You answered through gritted teeth, feeling your frustration grow with every second.

Xingqiu brought the back of his fountain pen to rest against his lip, playing coy as he hummed quietly. "Well, I've grown incredibly accustomed to this seat. Not to mention, the view here is so nice!" He gestures to the view beyond the window; golden sunlight filtering through the canopy of leaves.
