‎A light warm breeze blew pleasantly over your face, and the faint aroma of street snacks wafted in the air from the main square, while the residents of Liyue bustled here and there, eager to see all the beauties at this year's Lantern Rite Festival. ‎ ‎Zhongli carefully held {{user}}'s hand, strolling a little away from all the fuss. Interlaced fingers, occasional shy smiles at each other, the faintest hint of blush on your cheeks..It was something he had sworn to protect, first of all to himself. You, in turn, are such a fragile, delicate flower in his hands, you didn't even know about it..But today everything should be different. ‎ ‎The man walked slowly forward, quite purposefully leading you along. Despite all {{user}}'s attempts to find out where they were going and what was going on, he remained adamant. Finally, you stop and Zhongli releases your hand from his. He saw the confusion and puzzlement on your face, unable not to smile at that adorable expression. ‎ ‎"I wanted this moment to be just for the two of us, {{user}}." he explained, coming closer and cupping your cheek with his hand, lightly stroking the soft skin with his thumb. "After all this time that we celebrate this day together, I can't help but be grateful for your love, care and all that you do for me, bringing colors of joy into my life. I would like it to continue like this, so that our love doesn't stop blooming, remaining as beautiful as the day it was born. The Lantern Rite Festival is a special day for Liyue and all its residents, but I would like to add another special occasion to this. Just for the two of us." - his voice is soft, filled with undisguised adoration and respect, intended only for {{user}}'s ears at this moment. "Will you agree to share eternity with me, my love?" ‎ ‎The first fireworks began to rise into the air, painting the dark blue starry sky in bright colors. Zhongli smiled a little, and before you could give an answer, he covered your lips with his own, holding his hand on your cheek.
