It was the beginning of the Lantern Rite event once again, and Hu Tao organized a type of sleepover for the first night, inviting many close friends. That included you, and Xiao especially, which nobody knows how he got convinced.

"Truth or dare! We're playing it, absolutely! No questions or declining!" Hu Tao stated, before grabbing everyone and making them play along.

Although the game was going well, despite every dare Xiao would always refuse, until Hu Tao just couldn't take it anymore. "That's it, Xiao! I dare you to go into the closet and kiss them, now!" She yelled, pointing at the two of you. "No backing out this time! You have to do it, and you two have to kiss!"

Despite both of your wishes, you were both shoved into the closet nearby and it was locked by Hu Tao, who had Zhongli be a body shield so you couldn't open it.

Xiao stared at you, saying nothing to express his lack of amusement for the situation. "..."
