Chapter 6

(Narrative POV)

"Shit shit shit!" 

You cursed under your breath, rushing out of bed. Pulling the covers off making Childe let out a groan.

It was pretty hot you weren't gonna lie, but right now you had other matters to attend to.

"I'm gonna be so fucked!" 

You took a brisk shower, brushing your teeth and drying your hair almost immediately. 

While getting into your formal business attire, you packed your stuff. 

Childe felt confused, you were speed running everything. Even his eyes couldn't catch up. 

"Why are you rushing so early in the morning?" he groaned out, feeling a little turned off because of how fast you were moving. 

"I've got work this whole week. Try to be good for me, please?" you pleaded, fixing up everything before leaving. 

"Bye Childe"

"Bye honey, I love you" 

That stupid little goodbye made you embarrassingly red. Filling your stomach with butterflies as you get in your car. Then, you drove to work.

(With Childe)

Mae meowed in hunger, her automatic feeder was empty.  

"Alright, alright. I'll feed you, come on" 

Childe cooed, the little cat following behind him as he walked to the kitchen. 

Bending over, he opened the cabinet.

"Bingo." he chimed, grabbing the cat food. Mae meows loudly, her eyes dilating. 

He fills the automatic feeder with food and clean water. 

While Mae wolfs down her meal, Childe was pondering on what he could do.

"I suppose I should try and check Y/N's computer? Especially because I originated from there." 

Childe says, speaking to nobody. Walking to your room. 

He turns on your PC, waiting for it to finish booting up. 

-

"Y/N please, it's okay! Forget about it. You look really tired too. I'm fine with you resting"

Your boss reassures. A kind smile on his face, his genuine personality kept you overworked. He was just too good of a guy! 

"Thank you Boss" you say in return, the 50 yr old man gave you a thumbs up and a warm smile as he closed your office door. 

You finally got to rest after 7 hours of work, it was currently 2pm. You skipped your lunchtime because the amount of papers you had to get done was immaculate. 

Your boss was a kind man with a wife and kids, he thought of you as his own kid. Which is why he often worries about your mental capacity and your abilities. Though you made sure that you were fine, and that nothing gets in your way unless it was lack of sleep.

You closed your eyes and drifted off to a long 30 minute sleep. 

-

"Oh God, I'm finally done." you say stretching, reviewing all the papers you worked on. 

You looked at the clock on your phone and it was 6:00pm sharp. 

You nodded to yourself, packing all your things and making sure everything was in its place.

You submitted the stack of papers to your boss and he praised you for getting this much done in just a few hours. 

You nodded and drove home.

-

"Childe, I'm home." you say tiredly, limping on one leg because of how tired you were.

You got no response.

This worried you by alot, Childe would typically respond whenever you said anything. And this scared you to a level you couldn't understand.

Then you hear faint talking in your room.

You opened the door to your room, and you saw two men.

Not just two men.

"Y/N! You're back! I basically got all of my mora transferred to your world's currency! Don't ask how. And I also would like you to meet my xiansheng!"

Oh God.

"Hello, my name is Zhongli. Nice to meet you.. err,, Childe's partner..?"

The taller brunette with honey golden eyes smiled, holding out a hand for you to shake.

You felt so confused, how did another one get out?? Is your laptop some sort of loophole?

"Ah, um. Im Y/N. Nice to meet you Mr Zhongli" you introduced yourself, giving a small smile. Trying to hide your exhaustion.

He gave you a polite smile, keeping his hands folded behind his back. Childe could only rub the nape of his neck once you eye'd him with the 'We need to talk' look.

"Apologies little miss Y/N, but. Do you have an extra room I could meddle in? I believe Childe has me stuck here with the both of you. Unintentionally." Zhongli specifies with his finger, an agitated expression on his face.

"Ah Im sorry Mr Zhongli, I don't have another room for you. However, I suggest you take a bath first and I'll sort something out for you" you suggested, helping him reach the bathroom.

He seemed confused, the same look Childe had when you mentioned that you had baths.

You mixed bath salts in the running bath water and explained how to clean yourself thoroughly. He took every bit of information in and you left the bathroom.

While Zhongli was in the bath, you dragged Childe by his ear and slammed the door behind you.

"can you PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT THE FUCK  JUST HAPPENED?? HOW IS HE HERE??"

You screamed in his ear, making him screech. A small tear running down his cheek.

"I was trying to check out your computer and I opened something called 'genshin' since it was in the startup.. and then i saw mr zhongli, and i just phased my hand through the screen and pulled him out. He was much bigger than expected so i stumbled and fell, hitting my head on the bed"

He explains, rubbing his forehead. Tired from what had happened.

"If this happens AGAIN. I will not sleep in the same bed as you ever again, Childe. i swear.'

You warned him, earning a happy nod from him.

"God Im so tired of you"

"And im so in love with you"
