Zhong Li glances at Childe. He looks downward. He likes him. Wanna know more about him.
One hundred questions are brewing in his mind right now.
Childe glances at Zhong Li. The guy has been staring him a lot lately. As an assassin, he has keen instincts.
Love me back. Come and love me. I'm a lovable shou. I'm a good boy.
It seems that's the message sent in his eyes.
Childe looks another way. He has no time to indulge him.
Love betrayed him once. He no longer believed in those corny words.
Scaramouche looks cute and innocent back then. He got an awkward smile. I found him cute when he tried his best to attract my attention.
Childe touches a large scar on his back. A memento engraved by his ex-lover.
Love. I don't want it.
He approaches Thouma and Ito. Hanging out with Inazumans are more fun than receiving love gazes from Zhong Li.
Ito is bragging about an older Oni.
"I'm telling you. He's undefeatable."
Thouma complaints, "We got many talented people in our Commission. Our leader, Kamisato Ayato is also a talented warrior. He could wield a sword and polearm."
Ito rolls his eyes before he teases, "Stop bragging about your boyfriend."
"He isn't..."
Thouma blushes deeply. Ito only sneers. It's clear to everyone with eyes that Thouma got a crush on his leader.
Thouma protests weakly, "As a leader, he is bound to marry a Lady from good background. It's impossible to marry out of love. And I'm a guy. It's..."
He mumbles a long speech with low voice as if convincing himself to forget his secret love.
Childe sits down next to Thouma. He taps on his shoulder.
It's weird. Whenever I see his face, it's like staring into a mirror. Maybe if I hadn't joined Fatui, I will retain such a gentle kind smile.
Childe mocks himself in his heart.
Who am I fooling? Dad was gravely ill back then. If I hadn't joined Fatui, Teucer, Anthon and all of us would be starving.
He joined Fatui organization when he's 15 years old. Got elected as a Harbinger when he's 18.
He was still the youngest Harbinger in the organization when he faked his death.
He has been sending home money and precious medicinal herbs all these years.
His father's health has improved a lot. His siblings are old enough to help their parents with chores. At least they won't suffer too much after he's gone.
Twenty millions Moras should give them a comfortable life in Snezhnaya.
Zhong Li tilts his head. He is sending telepathic messages in his mind.
Look at me. Fall in love with me.
Unfortunately Childe is immune to him.
Hu Tao nudges his stomach.
Zhong Li frowns.
He complains, "Not now. I'm busy."
"A ghost said that guy has blood in his hands."
"I know. He killed many foes during bounties."
Hu Tao protests, "Not that. He got gloomy side with him. He's dangerous, Zhong Li."
