This is a fanfiction story on Cyno and Nilou from genshin impact. None of the characters are my own. I will do my best to portray their personalities as accurately as I can. Warning: This story contains other popular ships (including boy x boy and girl x girl). Cyno was enjoying his week off with his companions Tighnari and Collei when they received a letter to get to Sumeru City as fast as possible. Them, along with Nilou, Alhaitham and Kaveh, are sent to the desert to retrieve a stolen artifact, and open the temple its secret unlocks. That was the plan. Nowhere in the agenda was the fact that Cyno would fall for Nilou on the way.
