Chongyun was never fond of the heat.
With summer approaching and the weather getting warmer and warmer, it was hard for the blue-haired male to situate in Liyue. He tried everything from keeping multiple portable fans on him at all times, to buying truckloads of popsicles. Xiangling saw it as an opportunity to create new dishes, so most of them were gone by the next day, with Chongyun ending up tasting all of her crazed cooking disasters. It was hard for him to focus on exorcism when he was quite literally melting more than the popsicles.
On the other hand,
Xingqiu was a bookworm. It wasn't that hard to please the boy. He didn't mind the summer heat either. Just give him a few books, a flashlight, and lock him in the closet (no pun intended) all day and he'll be satisfied. Just remember to check on him every now and then.
Hu tao, who first started this "lock-Xingqiu-in-a-closet" trend, accidentally left him in there for 2 days straight. Let's just say, it didn't end up well. Nor did Xingqiu appreciate Hu tao's "amusing prank," as she called it.
And so, with the two boys, somehow ending up together during this whole fiasco,
Maybe, just maybe,
This summer wouldn't be such a bad one after all.
