*knock knock*

Undertaker: "Hello, welcome to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour. How can we help y- Oh! It is you, Y/N. Would you like me to alert Director Hu that you are looking for her?"

???: "No need! I came running as soon as I heard the door!"

*pomf!*

Hu Tao had come sprinting down the hallway and launched herself past the undertaker and into me, wrapping her arms around me as she collided with me. One of Hu Tao's running hugs that she's so fond of giving! She then looked up towards me, her large star-pupiled eyes and her big grin taking up most of my view... not that I'm complaining!


Hu Tao: "Tee-hee! You're really early! You must be so excited, just like I am for today!"

Y/N: "Of course I am! It's been a while since we've just spent a day together like we will today!"

Hu Tao: "I know right! I've been so excited I could barely keep still all morning!"

Undertaker: "... I presume that you will be taking your leave now, Director Hu? We remember the orders you gave this morning and will fulfil them as requested: to a standard that acting-Director Zhongli would be accepting of."

Hu Tao: "That's right! Don't worry, I'm sure that you will all do an excellent job!"

Undertaker: "Thank you for your confidence Director Hu, we will ensure to meet your expectations. And we wish you a very enjoyable day out to the both of you."

Hu Tao: "Thanks! But the sun doesn't stop for anyone, so we'd best get going if we want to do everything we planned today! Come on sweetie, let's go! Let's go!"

FIRST STOP: Lunch!

Hu Tao: "mmMMM! I'm so glad we chose to go to Wanmin Restaurant! Xiangling always makes the best meals! And they do to-go meals too! So we can just walk around and enjoy the sights instead of being rooted down in one place!"

Y/N: "Right! Xiangling's cooking is always a safe choice! And the weather is really quite nice for a stroll too. Plus..."

Hu Tao: "Hmm? What's on your mind?"

Y/N: "o-Oh! Uhhh, it's nothing! Don't mind me!"

Hu Tao: "Huuuuu... Are you sure? You've barely even looked at the scenery around us, your eyes have been on me this entire time!"

Y/N: "Oh... you uh- you noticed then?"

Hu Tao: "Tee-hee! Of course I did! It's fortunate that your Vision doesn't empower your eyes, or else you'd have bored holes right through me! And I'd hate to throw in the hat for the Funeral Parlour so soon!"

Y/N: "aha...ha... I guess!"

Hu Tao: "Sooooo... what's got you so enamoured with me? Have I got something on my face...?"

Y/N: "Can I... can I not just enjoy looking at my girlfriend? You don't normally wear something like this after all, it really looks good on you!"
