Zhong Li

That evening, Zhong Li summoned you for a mission. You were already waiting at your place when Zhong Li approached you from behind.

“It’s been a long time,” came from your lips. "Yes, I had to go somewhere," he said, looking at you and smiling. "Come on, we still need to get an assignment." “Okay,” you whispered and went with him to get directions.

An hour later, you stood at the entrance to an old mine. Your mission was to apprehend a group of smugglers. You and Zhong Li spotted five people carrying suspicious sacks.

"I'll take three, you take two!" you shouted and rushed forward. “Where are you rushing to, boy?” Zhong Li said quietly and followed you at a leisurely pace.

You soon dealt with two opponents, but the third, a strongly built man, turned out to be stronger. "Xiao," Zhong Li's calm voice came, but you didn't turn around, continuing the fight. Suddenly, the Archion gently but firmly pushed you aside, and the Anemo energy you'd gathered dissipated before you could release your blade. The smuggler took advantage of the moment and disappeared into the darkness of the shaft.

You turned to Zhong Li, completely enraged. "What the hell are you doing?" you yelled at him. "I would have finished him off if you hadn't pushed me away!" "Oh," Zhongli breathed quietly, then took your cheeks in his hands and began to squeeze them affectionately. "You're so cute when you're angry..."

He continued to squeeze your cheeks as you tried to break free from his grip.
