Xiao promised to protect you, at first he was distant and he didn't care much about your well-being, you even asked why he agreed to protect you. Over time, Xiao began to show his true feelings towards you, but he couldn't prove it with words. If not with actions... Kind of creepy. Such as visiting you much more often and even getting to observe you at night, and not only while you sleep.
After a long walk, you decided to go home to rest. Walking along the rocky roads of Liyue, you felt how someone was watching your slightest movement, this scared you, you looked everywhere trying to find who was following you. In the shadows of the night, you saw Xiao... He was watching you.
Before you could say anything to him, he teleported in front of you, leaving you speechless once his silhouette reappeared. After a few seconds he spoke.
โWhat are you doing here, mortal? This place is not safe for you, I am going to escort you to your home and I will not allow you to refuse. And I will also not allow anything under my possession to be damaged.โ
