Zhongli (short Lemon)

Chapter 4

            I shut the door and let out a sad sigh. Zhongli bitterly asks, "How was your date?"
"It was nice, Childe is surprisingly a gentleman."
"Then why are you sad?" He's asking why I'm sad? I scoff and say, "You suddenly care."
"Of course I care, I love you." The moment that the words left his lips I laughed. I say, "I'm sorry, I thought you said that you love me."
"You don't think I do?"
"I went out with Childe as a childish middle finger towards you."
"Over one lunch?" I scoff and say, "No Zhongli, it's not just one lunch date, it's three weeks worth, and not just lunches, dinners, our evening walks." My voice trembles. I ask, "I tried to talk to you, and you just gave me the same attitude that I gave you. Do you even realize that you haven't touched me until today? Haven't even kissed me in these past three weeks." I didn't let Zhongli say a word. I say, "And then I find out through gossip that you are hanging out with Ningguang. At first I was okay with it, but then the rumors piled up. They say that you broke up with me and that you are dating her now. Then today, I saw you with her and it broke me as I came to realize one thing..." I trail off, lips quivering as the tears that I've been holding back finally gives way. I finally looking at him dead in the eye. I continue, "That everyone is right, Ningguang and you are a perfect match. She's pretty, rich, tall, elegant. The polar opposite of me." With that I go into our room and grabbed a bag. I start putting my clothes in it. As I put the clothes in, Zhongli takes them out. I say, "Stop it Zhongli." I face him only to be trapped in his embrace. I mutter, "Let me go." Despite my words, I don't fight to break free. He says, "I'm sorry, I had no idea that I was making you feel like this, let me make it up to you." He starts kissing my neck. I ask, "Am I really the one you want?"
"It's always been just you."
