"I think that's the last of them Xiao!" I shout
Xiao and I decided to help Verr with the nearby hilichurls since she was afraid they might scare away guests.
"Good, head back to the inn. I'm going out" he sighs
"Oh can I come?"
"I don't think you can this time, I'm heading out with someone"
Xiao's going out with someone? That's odd.
"Oh are you going to see Zhongli?" I ask excitedly
"No, Its not someone you know"
"Oh, I see"
It isn't like Xiao to go out with someone, he doesn't like communicating and he doesn't like crowds so what exactly is he going to do?
Wait.
Why do I suddenly care so much? It's not in like it's in our contract for us to be together every second of every day he should be more than allowed to be with others.
He turns to walk away but without thinking I quickly grab onto his sleeve.
"What is it?"
"Please, don't...hesitate to call me" I whispered
His gaze softened for a moment, before he tugged his sleeve away from me.
"I don't need your help."
Ouch. No matter how many times he says that I can never get used to it.
I weakly smile at him and simply head to the inn, I mean what else is there to do? Wait if he's going out then so can I!
I smile as I run up the stairs. I head into my room and change into something more comfortable. Xiao won't be the only one having fun today

I open the doors to the wangsheng funeral parlor and am greeted by Zhongli.
"Ah y/n, how have you been darling?" He asks
"I've been alright, what about you Zhongli?"
"I'm doing just fine, tell me what brings you to the parlor today?"
"Oh I wanted to know if Hu Tao was here? I wanted to know if I could hang out with her today" I fidget
"Ah sadly she's out right now, but I can have Childe spend the day with you if you'd like"
"Childe? Who's that?"
"I suppose you could say he's a friend of mine"
"I suppose? Zhongli you wound me" a familiar voice says dramatically
