Venti and Xiao were lovers, partners, and soulmates. Decades ago, when archons ruled the world, when adepti’s roam freely around liyue, Xiao and Venti were friends, partners rather.

Not so long time ago, at the 19’s the two boys both found eachother once more. Reincarnated, as the same exact person. The two’s love was forbidden, yet even archons could not separate their unconditional affection for each other.

2025, Xiao was here in a field trip. He observed the paintings, on the back of the line paying no attention to his classmates. Suddenly, He stopped on his tracks, Seeing a painting strangely captivating. It was a painting of the anemo Archon—Barbatos, And a yaksha millennials ago. A historical painting.

“Odd,” Xiao muttered to himself, Tilting his head to the side as the yaksha’s facial features somewhat had a similarity with himself. Suddenly, He heard a mutter—His head turning to the voice, His eyes widening in recognition.

Those braids, Teal like eyes similar to trees, Pink round cheeks, Similar to the God in the painting.
