You, being a normal man working in Liyue, have met plenty of people.

Zhongli being one of them.

He was always kind. Being a gentleman for you and everyone. He knew a lot about Liyue, and you liked listening to him.

You weren't 'close', by all means. But you did like him, and he liked you.

He was scared to like you. He's immortal, and you're not. But he should enjoy it while you're around.

He's so very in love.
