"Hello, Y/n how are you?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"I'm good thank you for asking Mr. Zhongli." I said politely.
Then I looked over to the teal haired boy.

I didn't look at me, but looked at the ground instead.
"Xiao, why don't you go around with Y/n, and I can plan the next funeral with Hu Tao." Zhongli asked him smiling.

He nodded, then he grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
"Don't think I'm doing this because I want to."

Because of the roughness in his pull I had to grab his wrist, since I knew even when I would lay on the ground he would continue to pull until we weren't in sight of Hu Tao and Zhongli anymore.

When we were finally out of sight Xiao let my hand go and sighed.
"I'm gonna leave now and don't tell them I left you alone."

I looked at him in confusion.
"I thought you'll always obey the orders of Zhongli, isn't that part of the contract?"

The teal haired boy stared at me in disbelief.
"You know about the contract!?"

I nodded.
"Zhongli told me sometime."

He looked even more annoyed now and sighed.
"Where do you want to go then?"

I looked around and thought about something he would also like.
"Hm... Wangshu Inn?"
I asked carefully.

He nodded.
"Fine, hold on to me."
He answered nonchalantly and pulled me close to him.

"It's the best if you close your eyes I don't want you to get dizzy and hurt yourself in the process."
He said softly while pressing me with one hand to his chest.
Then he wrapped his arms around me to hold me close.

I wrapped my arms around him too and closed my eyes.

As I opened them I was still pressed against his chest but we were on the balcony at the Wangshu Inn.

I looked up at him only to see him slightly smiling.
"Xiao, are you smiling?"

"NO! I'm not smiling!!"
He said and looked away.
