Zhongli (short Lemon)

Chapter 2

6 months later....
I sat at the Wanmin restaurant. He was late. That's not like him at all. That's when I saw him. I go to call out to him, but stop short. He was with another woman. Not just any woman, Ningguang. A woman I can't compete with. Rich, tall, beautiful, graceful. While I am the polar opposite. I wrote on a piece of paper that said that I had somewhere to be if you actually remember that we were supposed to meet. I pay the waiter and say, "If Zhongli comes, give this to him, please." Maybe the last part was a little mean. It wasn't like he was holding her hand or kissing her. I leave and walk to the place I have always loved in Liyue. I walk by a couple looking into the water. The lotus floating all over the water. Our first kiss was here. Is that contract null and void now? I look at my reflection on the water. Long black hair fell over my shoulders. Although it isn't as long as Zhongli's. I'm only 5'6 to his 6'1. He's constantly looking down, I'm constantly looking up. I let out a broken sigh as I lean over the rail separating the sidewalk and the water. A familiar voice says, "You look wrecked, well less wrecked than the time you took on a hilicurl camp by yourself." I groan and say, "I don't have the energy to deal with you, Childe."
"Ouch, that stung, Unity." I didn't say anything. He didn't leave. A voice says, "Zhongli is with lady Ningguang again today."
"I wonder if he and the black haired girl broke up."
"He and Lady Ningguang are more fitting for each other anyways." And just like that, my insecurities rose even more. I mutter, "I know that already." Childe sighs and says, "I see the problem."
"Guess I'll leave Liyue." I say remembering the contract we made. Childe said, "Or you can show him how you feel." I tilt my head at him with a risen eyebrow. He says, "He's spending his time with another woman, why can't you spend your time with another man?" He does have a point. I say, "Fine, but ground rules, you can't kiss my lips, or neck, wrist and hand are okay, holding hands are also okay."
"I understand, but have they really done that?"
"Not that I've seen." I'm pretty sure I made the biggest mistake.
