You were walking back to Liyue to get a quick snack. It was a peaceful day, the sun was shining, the birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, on days like these you would be walking with your brother like you did before, but now it’s like a distant memory. You shook your head to get the image of your brother out of your mind and continued your way to Wanmin restaurant.
You saw a familiar figure talking to Xiangling and Gouba
“Ah! Zhong li”
You said with a surprised look
The three of them looked up and saw you
“Awh! Traveler, you’re here!”
“Yeah…I wanted to get a quick snack before I start my commissions”
“Well since you’re here I can take your order”
“Awh…thanks Xiangling”
“Eehe! No problem”
You ordered her special dish, she went inside and started cooking with gouba you looked at Zhong li and said your greetings to him
“Hey Zhong li, how have you been?”
“I have been well Y/n, I was just passing by but I saw my old friend and wanted to chat a little before I continued my walk…care to join me after your food is done?”
“I would love to!”
You said with a smile
He studied your beautiful brown eyes, your dark skin, and your messy yet beautiful hair, he coughed a little and smiled you smiled back and you two started talking after awhile Xiangling came out with your order
“Here you go Y/N”
“Oh…Thanks, Xiangling”
“Well...I need to go now I have a feeling XIngqiu is pranking Chon Yun again”
Xiangling let out a sigh and started jogging in the opposite direction. You laughed a little and offered Zhong Li to walk with him since you can spare a few minutes.
“Oh…very well then let us go”
You two walked and talked to one another while you take a few bites of your food you offered Zhong li some but he declined, you laughed at his flustered face and he just looked away
You both found yourselves at Bubu pharmacy, walking up the stairs, and then you stopped at the bridge near the waterfalls you both stopped and looked at the waterfalls listening to the water, hearing the birds sing, and enjoying the cold breeze blowing toward the both of you you both were silent sometimes hearing bites and chews from you since you were still eating.
“Hey, Y/n?”
“Hmmm?”
You looked at him while chewing your food trying not to speak with food in your mouth
“Can I have a bite of your food, maybe on bite wouldn’t hurt”
You beamed and giggled you handed your food to Zhong li and he took a bite
“hmm…it is delicious once I have enough mora I”ll buy two for the two of us”
You smiled at him and he smiled back, then he returned your food to you and you started eating again while watching the waterfall.
Then Zhong li heard Hu tao’s shout
“AIYA!! MR. ZHONG LIIIIIII!
“Hiiiya! It took me a while to find you!”
“Ah…Hu tao sorry I lost track of time”
“Hiiiya! Come on! I still need your help back at the funeral parlor”
“You go on ahead I will be there soon”
“Hmmmph…you better”
With a huff, Hu tao turned her back to Zhong li
“I-…I miss her too you know…it was hard to lead her to the afterlife so early”
And with that, she ran back to Bubu's pharmacy to wait for Zhong li there trying not to shed a tear.
Zhong li went out a loud sigh he looked next to him and looked at the food he bought on the railing of the bridge he grabbed it and reopened the wrapping revealing a small bite made by him…only him…..then he started walking towards the stairs then he heard your voice echoing behind him
“Zhong li thank you for taking me on this walk. I enjoyed your company. Let's do it again next time!”
He stopped and turned around only to see a butterfly fluttering around, he looked at the food that you offered him that day and he started eating it with tears coming down.
“…It doesn’t taste the same…”
