After the resurrection and defeat of Osial, things became much busier for Childe. He had no time for himself until he met a certain brunette again. ❝ Childe found himself being held by Zhongli, like those cliche scenes from romance books. He had never imagined himself in such a situation, especially not as the one that was just 'rescued'.❞ A Genshin Impact Childe X Zhongli fanfiction slotted in between the end of Liyue's arc and before Childe's story quest. Contains spoilers of the main story, as well as dark themes such as angst and death.

It's been a few weeks since Childe has 'completed' his mission, and yet, he can't convince himself to leave just yet, especially since the Tsaritsa hasn't called him back to Snezhnaya, so he remains in Liyue. He remains in Liyue, where he has friends and coworkers, and most importantly, Zhongli. That is, until it all comes crashing down. Credit to @esqurell on twitter for the cover page
