-that night-

The teacup zhongli left on the counter POV

“Ms Yujing ? Mr Zhongli ? Is anyone home ? “ Knocks came from the door of the mansion , night had already fallen and the harbour was back to its usual lively atmosphere. No fatui and no signora to worry about

Atleast for now

“ Who could it be at this hour- oh hi keqing “ Childe answered the guest , welcoming her into his friend’s home , quickly kicking off his whale themed slippers in the process

“ It’s 8pm Childe “ Keqing sighed at the male who just shrugged , “ anyway where is Ms Yujing ? I need to see her, its important “ She continued surveying the home for her fellow electro vision user

“ Keqinggggg ! are they gone yet ? “ The said female emerged from the her bedroom before dashing up to her junior to engulf her in a hug , on the other hand a sleepy Zhongli trudged out behind her still hugging the whale plush Childe had gifted his lover , both wearing matching geo and electro print sleepwear

However what this teacup found adorable was that this time , Mr Zhongi was wearing the electro printed pjs while Ms Yujing wore the geo printed ones

“ Our fatui problem has been solved for now thanks to you ! But we have another problem at hand...” keqing trailed off thinking of where to start

“ Well ? “ Yujing asked curious on why the yuheng had paid her a visit so suddenly

“ Ever since the whole fatui-coming-to-steal-another-gnosis situation...let’s just say the locals weren’t to happy about it...no happy is an understatement , they were infuriated ! I didn’t expect so many of them to turn up at the golden house and demanding that they should check the dragon exuvia for themselves as they fear the return of the fatui would bring more trouble...I had tried keeping them at bay but they persist ! Even worse as part of the qixing we are unable to hurt citizens thus i need your help before they burn the whole golden house down  “ She took a deep breath whilst her friends processed what she had just said

“ T-they want to burn the exuvia ? “ Zhongli choked out , dropping the whale plush toy to the ground in shock , causing Yujing to leave keqing’s side to pick it up and place it on the couch

“ They won’t , that’s why I’m here i was wondering if Ms Yujing wouldn’t mind helping us with her crowd control skills “ Keqing assured turning to her friend who was currently occupied with hugging zhongli and patting his hair in an effort to comfort him

His hair looked really fluffy

“ I promise no one would touch the exuvia alright ? “ Yujing smiled at the depressed looking zhongli who hid his sadness through burying his face into her chest , wrapping her arms around the male

What a cute couple

Who would have thought they were more than 5000 years old

“ Well that’s just out of pocket...i would help but they would probably kill me“ Childe shook his head in disapproval At the behaviour of the usually peace loving Liyue citizens

" Just a second ! "

“ Great ! Ms Yujing we should really leave soon before things get worse ! “ Keqing rushed the female as she rushed back to her room to change out from her geo pajamas to her signature black and gold dress

Which keqing had proudly selected for her when they went on a shopping spree during the lantern rite

“ you two stay put I don’t want childe here causing more trouble “ Keqing said curtly as she narrowed her eyes at the harbinger , poking his chest which earned a low chuckle from Zhongli
