LIYUE HARBOUR

        "Zhongli, where are we going?" You ask him as the tall man insisted for you and him to spend the day together. "We're almost there, I assure you you'll love it here." Zhongli uttered. You and Zhongli left around 6 AM this morning, it is currently 9 PM and your legs are sore and numb from all the running and walking you two hard done.

"Would you like me to carry you?" Zhongli questioned you so boldly.

"What? Carry me? We're climbing a mountain Zhongli, we'll fall if you do." You chuckled at him.

"Yes we are but I did not mention climbing did I not?" Zhongli stated.

"Whatever do you mean by that?"you look at him with a raised brow and a smile.

Just as you were about to chuckle again, by surprise, Zhongli swept you off your legs and carried you bridal-style. Your eyes widened as your cheeks started burning a light shade of Red.

"Zhongli, we're going to fall if we climb like this!" You screamed out loud as you were a hundred meters up in the air carried by an old man whose back is in the brink of breaking.

"Hold on tight." Zhongli stated calmly as he jumped and floated in mid air while summoning multiple pillars step by step as you both made it to the top of the mountain. You buried your head into his chest not wanting to look at the death bed that laid 100 meters below you.

He put you down carefully as you were shaking in panic.

"Don't do that without alarming me beforehand!"  You angrily pointed at him.

"I did us a favour by sparing a few hours before we got to the top of this mountain." Zhongli stated as he fixed his collar and walked over to a nearby tree.

You fixed your clothes and swiped off the dust on your sleeves. As soon as you turn from Zhongli's direction, you were amazed by the beautiful view of Teyvat from the mountain top. There you saw bundles of clouds, a blooming cherry tree and Zhongli preparing a blanket with a basket of food.

"Whats all this?" You giggled as you walked over to him.

"You mentioned something before about relaxing and taking a picnic, so I thought it would be nice for us both to reward ourselves for the hard work we've accomplished." Zhongli smiles at you.

Zhongli sat down on the blanket and patted the spot on his side inviting you to sit beside him. You walked over and sat beside him feeling the warm spring petals fall on your shoulders as you noticed some of them were on Zhongli's hair.
