You and Zhongli have always been close friends, he's been with you since your early days. Your parents all know and are fond of him, you spend time at his home all the time. Yet why? Why is he suddenly so busy with others? Zhongli used to be overlooked and ignored in middle school, yet suddenly, after he became 'handsome' he's been swarmed by thirsty women! It's as if every time you two get to have alone time together, there is an invisible force conveniently pulling you two apart.

You watch Zhongli from afar, as you notice how easily he engages with other, specifically the girl from his class, Guizhong. They look like a good couple, elegant yet enthusiastic. Zhongli has his casual smile on, the smile specifically reserved for you, or so you say to yourself. You hated how nice he was, even to other people!
