When the Door Chimes ꒰ ZhongChi ꒱

Childe owns a struggling café where he pours his heart into every cup, finding comfort in the quiet mornings. One day, a strikingly handsome regular, Zhongli, walks in, turning Childe's world upside down with just a smile. As their connection deepens through their meeting moments and warm conversations, Childe struggles with hidden financial struggles, his pride forcing him to push Zhongli away and having to have the shop closed due to his money problems. Can their budding connection survive when the weight of reality becomes too much to bear?

!!the story fanart/cover is not mine at all, I got it from an Instagram account called "dailydoseofchili." None of the characters belong to me as well, all from the game "Genshin Impact" from Mihoyo, so all credits to that.!!

this is my first story, so i don't expect it to be good, but I might as well try, right? lmfao. I apologise for any mistakes made while reading. I tried, but please don't expect it to be perfect.
