They're warriors, adversaries, echoes of different worlds - and yet, under Liyue's fading lantern light, Childe finds something he never thought he deserved: tenderness.
What begins as confrontation becomes confession. What follows is slow, deliberate, and unlike any battle they've ever known. This time, Zhongli doesn't strike with stone - he stays.

Can't Stop Loving You | Childe x Zhongli | Genshin Impact [COMPLETED]
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.
