It's been a week since the accident, and you've recovered even faster than Baizhu assumed. Kaeya came to visit you every day, he even brought you flowers once. Kaeya and you became close and decided to walk the streets of Liuye once.

"You know... there's a lavish dinner here soon for all the people in high positions? They even said we can bring our friends with us."

 "Really? That sounds very interesting. And when exactly is it taking place?"

"In two days, exactly at ten o'clock at night, you can come in what you are wearing now, it looks decent enough"

"Okay, okay," you said and moved on to another topic.

You sat down at the table, the hall was huge, and the lunch on the table was sumptuous, as Kaeya and I said. At one point a very tall man entered, he had brown hair and ironed brown clothes, and the tip of his spear could be seen attached to the back of his suit. He stood up so that everyone could see him and began to give his speech. "Dear friends, thank you for all of you being able to come in such numbers, first of all, I have to thank Childe" he pointed at the ginger young man next to him "and Ningguang" he pointed at the white-haired lady with one red strand sticking out "for giving me financially helped to invent this hall. Since I see there are new people" he looked at you and a few others "I will introduce myself, I am Zhongli, I guard this city and I am the organizer of this event" then he sat down and said "Let the feast begin " everybody slowly took knives and forks and began to choose what to eat. You noticed that one seat was empty, and you wonder who it is for. A few minutes later, the door slowly opened "Sorry I'm late" said Diluc "We had a few accidents on the way" he said and shook Zhongli's hand "Diluc! I'm glad you came, don't worry, you didn't miss anything, sit down" he said and pointed to an empty place, as soon as Diluc noticed you, he greeted you and asked

"How are you? You've been gone for six months"

 "I'm okay... I had an accident a few days ago" "..an accident? how come?"

"I went to the mountain and I got lost and I almost died of hypothermia"

"It's not like that" Kaeya said "monsters attacked her and she fought them, she was good but they were stronger than her"

"I didn't ask you anything," Diluc said "hm.. and how did you get away"

"Kaeya came along and saved me"

 "Finally he did something useful," Diluc said and glared at Kaeya "grmph.., but yeah, I'm glad you're okay, I hope you won't make mistakes like that again," he said and continued eating.

After dinner, everyone got up to the table and began to relax slowly.

"You're new here, aren't you?" Childe approached you"...yes I am."

 "I'm glad you're here... you came with a friend, I assume"

"Yes, Kaeya invited me to keep him company"

"Nice.. so, how do you feel here?"

 "It's okay, honestly, the food is good, the people are relaxed.. though, I'm a little nervous, I don't know anyone here"
"Eh, don't worry, I think you'd better just enjoy yourself, maybe you'll meet someone else besides me, but, don't be in a hurry, it's not like this isn't organized every year.... with my money" he laughed
"With your money?"
"You see, Zhongli barely has a few thousand mora on his account, Ningguang and I usually organize everything, but we don't mind, we are rich and he is a poor friend, we need to help each other sometimes"
"I see... what do you do?"
"I work in Fatui," he said and smiled "And you..? You're in the Favounius, aren't you?" he said and moved closer to you
"Oh.. n-no.." you said, a bit scared, you can't believe that he is in Fatui, impossible, then why would Diluc come - you searched the whole hall with your eyes, you didn't see Diluc
"If you're looking for Diluc, he left five minutes ago, he came here purely to pay his respects to Zhongli, like that every year..." he said, after that, he got a little closer to you and continued "does the fact that I'm in Fatuji bother you?" he asked you "you look,... kind of, shaken up... But don't worry, I won't hurt you, I won't even ask you to join us, I just want to talk to you"
'.......Okay?' you thought, first of all, why would he invite you to join him, and secondly... how did he know you were shaken by that information? Were you that transparent? After a few more minutes of talking, you forgot about the fact that he was in Fatui, you relaxed and continued talking to him. He was very interesting and funny to you. After that you went out on the balcony, the moon was full and shining with all its might, Childe interrupted you and said "Sorry, but I have to go, you come whenever you want, okay?" "Okay, see you!" you said and he hugged you.
