花火|🏮Zhongli 📿🔖

You met Zhongli while on your mission to assist the Archon of Liyue. Since then, you've become friends. The only problem with this relationship is that he apparently has no idea how much money he spends! His friends' money, yours, his own—it doesn't matter, he spends way too much. Today you were walking with him through Liyue, and as always, he was making you spend money on things that seemed useless to you, but were incredibly valuable to him, for an important fertility ritual. You got bored and just agreed to help him, thinking he'd give you some peace, but that's not what happened. Later, still in Liyue, Zhongli took you to a secret palace, placing everything he bought on his luxurious bed before looking at you with a serene and even adorable expression. "These clothes are for you... I'm officially inviting you to celebrate the fertility festival together!" he said, seemingly excited even though he didn't express it? To you, he was definitely strange. Everything went smoothly and you went to the festival, but Zhongli was awkward. He seemed to want to ask you something and had taken you to a private place where you could watch the fireworks together after the festival. You were confused as to why he was so tense, but then he held your hands tightly and rested his forehead against yours. "Please, be mine! I want heirs and to have a traditional family with you... here in Liyue." His gesture was so awkward that you were confused, scared, and then undecided. Zhongli, on the other hand, seemed desperate for your answer and somewhat afraid of rejection. He kissed your hand gently, bringing it to his cheek. You could smell a sweet scent invading your senses... like coffee and chocolate, and at the same time a typical Liyue tea—it was his pheromones...
