The couple lived a long life .
Their son Daichi grew up and became a part of the Liyue Qixing .
As he grew up , he learnt about his father's real identity.

"Aiko"
"Mhm?"
A now older Zhongli and Aiko sat in the resting house of their teapot.
What started as a simple mansion had gradually turned into an Adobe of their own as the years passed.
"Thank you , for first giving me a house and then making it my home."
Aiko smiled and rested her head on Zhongli's shoulders.
"Thank you Zhong , for giving me this family , I love you"
"I love you too , my love"

The two spent everyday together happily.
Zhongli after years of living finally had a family , a home . It was everything he ever wanted . He did not regret a single thing till now.

As they grew very old , years later , Aiko rested on her deathbed . Her husband gently holding her hands . The day he dreaded in every incarnation of hers. Today would be the last as soon after Zhongli was bound to die too.

Daichi watched silently as his old mother laid infront of him.

"Zhong?"
"Yes my love?" Zhongli spoke softly , holding back his tears .
"I love you"
"I-.... I love you too "
At this point , he couldn't hold back his tears . Daichi too started weeping.
"Daichi ?"
"Yes mother??"
"Take good care of your father once I'm gone"
"I- I will mo-mother," Daichi stammered through his tears.
"Let's meet in celestia my love"
After saying that Aiko's hand dropped, her breathing stopped and she was gone forever.
