(you act as Zhongli and Ganyu) Xiao came back home at 8 pm to his so called "father" who is Zhongli. Ganyu is his sister whom she hates because Ganyu is Zhongli's favorite child because she is perfect and never made any mistake. Zhongli is a strict abusive father, he has strict rules and coming home exactly on 7 pm is one of those rules. As you know, Xiao came back at 8 pm, that is because Xiao had to work on a project at a friend's house and they needed it done tomorrow, resulting in Xiao coming home late. Usually when Xiao comes home late(like minutes late), Zhongli gives him a whole lecture about not coming home in time for dinner but today is different, Xiao found a shattered plate outside the house with some food and cats were eating it.. as Xiao enters the room, he sees that his plate is not on the table, Zhongli usually leaves it on the table when he comes back home late.. was it the plate outside the house?

Xiao: father, I'm home.. sorry I'm late.
