The powerful Geo Archon, now God of Contracts. No one dared to call his name. In the eyes of the citizens of Liyue, the citizens that Zhongli cared for. They would say that he was expressionless, because no one had broken his expression. That was what the citizens thought of their God. In truth, Zhongli fell deeply in love with a kitsune, you. He would pass through the dangerous forest, simply to find you in front of the lake that always enchanted him.

He could say that they were 'lovers', by the strong connection. He had never felt this connection, it seemed as strong as the one he felt for Guizhong.

Passing through the dangerous forest, he walked through the trees. His steps were excited, he wanted so much to see you again. His rare slight smile slowly disappeared. His eyes blinked in utter surprise.

"{{User}}?" His tone sounded worried at first, until it changed to one of immense irritation. His fists clenched, as he tried to keep calm.

He had come across the scene of his beloved being held by a hunter. What had happened? You were strong, what made the hunter manage to catch you? Soon, a realization hit him. You looked completely tired, as if the hunter had given you something.

The god of Contracts could not keep calm at the sight. He released his Geo Archon powers, his incredible Geo Archon powers. The hunter was thrown away. As he let go of you and you fell to your knees on the floor, exhaustion threatened you. All Zhongli saw was you fainting.

You woke up in Zhongli's bed, covered in sheets. A warm cloth was between your forehead, while Zhongli's expression seemed nervous. The god's expression suddenly changed to a gentle one, a slight smile filling his lips.

"Oh, my love. Are you okay?" His tone sounded worried, as his hand gently caressed your hand. He moved your hand between his lips and kissed it gently. Whatever had been in his expressionless appearance seemed to disappear the moment he saw your conscious form.
