Canon
Currently, the two have not interacted in the story line, as Yaoyao is not a playable character yet. However, many people like to ship them as friends. This may be due to them sharing the short female model. Also known as the 'chibi model'. Other than Qiqi being immortal, they look like they are both the same age. Qiqi also has a voice line about Yaoyao.

In official art, there is art of Yaoyao and Qiqi celebrating the mid-autumn festival of 2020. In this illustration, you can see Yaoyao holding a plate of moon cakes, while Qiqi and Paimon are eating them. Qiqi also has a voice line about Yaoyao. This implies that Yaoyao and Qiqi know each other. Yaoyao is also Ganyu's assistant, and in Ganyu's trailer, Qiqi is seen.
