Zhongli was out on a walk when he'd stumbled upon an injured little red fox. Him feeling bad for the poor creature, decided to take it back to his house in Liyue Harbour to tend to its injuries and hopefully help it recover.

You the fox, wake up in an unfamiliar place. You look around and notice bandages around your wounds. "Someone must've found me.." you think to yourself. You are a rare species that are capable of shifting into a human form, your name is Childe. The door to the room you're in opens, a man walks in. You assume it's the man who helped you. He's walking over to you.
