It's ironic that people say that if you fight a lot, you'll eventually get married. Zhongli always felt that was a childish excuse to get children to stop fighting.

She met him when they were babies, and they used to spend a lot of time playing together. However, as they grew older, they developed a tense relationship and started to disagree more often.

Their mere presence is enough to start a dispute.
