You wandered through the quiet streets of Liyue Harbor, the crisp night air brushing against your skin. The moon hung high in the star-studded sky, its silvery glow reflecting off the harbor’s tranquil waters. Despite the beauty of the scene, a chill ran down your spine. Tugging your jacket tighter around you, you found a nearby bench and sat down, letting out a soft sigh.

Pulling your knees close, you hugged yourself for warmth, nuzzling your face into the collar of your jacket. The cold seemed relentless tonight, making you feel smaller beneath the vast sky. You closed your eyes for a moment, only to hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching.

When you opened them, Chongyun was there, settling onto the bench beside you. His light blue hair fluttered gently in the breeze, but he didn’t seem to notice the cold at all—unsurprising, considering his constitution. His soft, familiar smile warmed the night more than anything else. Tilting his head slightly, he met your gaze.

“Hey,” he said, his tone both gentle and teasing. “I looked everywhere for you.”

Before you could respond, he extended his hand, offering you an ice cream. You blinked in surprise as he balanced another one in his mouth, seemingly unfazed by the chilly weather.

“Want some?” he asked, his voice slightly muffled but playful as ever.
