CHAPTER 46

The next day~

-Zhongli had gone to work early as hutao wanted him to so Yujing and Tortilla are having breakfast together-

“ So did you find Mr Phantom ? “ You asked taking a bite of the delicious grilled fish looking at your deep in thought friend

“ Yeah...” He hummed still looking at his plate intently , poking his grilled chicken  while staring blankly into space

“ You don’t think this much ever what’s going on “ slightly concerned you patted your buddy’s head earning a sigh from him

“ Your Mr Phantom aren’t you “ Childe finally looked up sadly

“ What ? No Childe you know I’m just his-“

“ Does Mr Zhongli know “

“ well yes but technically no “ You shrugged , already giving up trying to deny since you found it pointless to even attempt to

“ How are you so calm in such a situation like this “ Childe’s face contorted into a look of confusion on how the female before him sat nonchalantly when her secret was revealed and life possibly at risk

“ Bold of you to assume after six thousand years I still want to live-But Zhongli-Yeah I still want to live “ You stuffed your mouth with chicken hungrily

" Your not mad ? " You slowly nudged him hoping he wasn't

Zhongli knew about you being a god but not the part of you being his sworn brother

That was WAY to awkward to tell him

“ I know you have a gnosis I’m a harbinger we know how to find gnoses , well not all of us can. La Signora wasn’t especially good in this area but that isn’t the point !

Mr Phantom was supposed to be unaware of his...but when I told him about he wasn’t surprised...as if he heard it before “ 

Damn I got played

Thank archon the restaurant is as loud as ever or everyone would have heard

“ So your going to turn me in huh “ You looked back to your unfinished breakfast , slowly losing your appetite as you expected fatui members to jump out and capture you

“ You know I can’t do that...” Childe’s head hung low once more , torn between saving his best friend’s life and executing his duty as a harbinger

“ Awww because you love your Jie jie ( Older sister in chinese ) right~” Cooing at Childe you pinched his cheeks at how he was willing to help you

“ BUT , y/n I’ll not say a thing , but if they find out themselves it’s out of my hands-“

“SHSHSHSH don’t say that ! “ Your arms flailed around frantically before slapping them over his mouth  

“ Yujing I mean “ Childe laughed slightly , the burden already lifting from his shoulders

“ Signora arrives two days from now , you should go to mondstadt tonight “ He suggested as the two made their way out of wanmin restaurant

3rd POV

“ Would that not only be suspicious ?” Yujing rose an eyebrow questionably at her orange haired friend

“ Argh right...but if you take Mr Zhongli with you-“

“ He would be the first person Signora will go after , I’ll be bringing trouble to mondstadt too “ She sighed shaking her head

“ Maybe you should stay home for the day ? You know like klee in solitary confinement “ Childe tried smiling weirdly at his bestfriend
