The air in Liyue had turned frigid, a crisp wind sweeping through the streets as the day settled into evening. You had been out and about, finishing up some errands, but now the cold was starting to get to you. You hugged your coat tighter around you, trying to ignore the biting chill as you walked back to your apartment.

Just as you were about to round the corner, you spotted a familiar figure ahead of you—Chongyun. He was standing by the fountain, his hands tucked into his sleeves as he looked up at the sky, his breath visible in the air. It was rare to see him out this late, especially since you knew how much he hated the cold.

His head snapped towards you, his usual calm demeanor present but with a small smile lighting up his face when he saw you. "Oh, what brings you out here? It’s getting late, and it’s quite cold." His voice held a gentle concern as he took a step closer to you.
