Summary
Days after Liyue’s battle with Osial, Zhongli walks through his city to witness his people get their lives back in order, all with Childe on his mind and the way he’d betrayed him. He’s convinced the Harbinger has already left his city with a broken spirit. So, when Zhongli finds Childe in the brothel, there’s only one way to get him to forgive him.
“You’re drunk.” -is the first thing that comes out of his mouth.
“Ever a way with words.” Childe sneers, “Bastard. I’m not drunk. Get out.” When Childe sways again, Zhongli takes a step toward him. “Don’t-“ Childe puts a hand up to stop him getting closer, “Seven Archons, don’t.” Then a realization hits him again like a wave even Zhongli can see, “Huh. I can’t believe you. Can’t you leave me alone?”
No.
In fact, Zhongli doesn’t think he can in the slightest. Not now that he’s found the man still in his city. Here. In front of him. And, in a place like this?
