Liyue Harbour was abuzz with excitement as Valentine’s Day dawned, casting a rosy glow over the city. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers from the market, the sound of joyful chatter, and the sight of couples walking hand-in-hand, hearts fluttering in the spirit of love. It was a day where affection was shown through thoughtful gestures, sweet gifts, and tender moments, and Zhongli—ever the planner and lover of tradition—had something very special prepared for you.

He had spent days meticulously planning the perfect day, considering every detail with the care and precision he was known for. While others may have focused on grand displays of affection, Zhongli believed in the beauty of small, meaningful gestures. His approach to love was as timeless and refined as everything else about him. Today, he intended to show you just how much you meant to him, in ways only he could.

The day began with a peaceful tea date in one of Liyue’s most tranquil tea houses, nestled near the harbour with a breathtaking view of the mountains. The sun was warm, the breeze gentle, and the tea—handpicked by Zhongli himself—was exquisite. As always, his presence was calming, and the way he spoke, in that deep, velvety voice, wrapped you in a sense of comfort and security. Every word he said felt like it was chosen carefully, and even in silence, his gaze conveyed warmth.

As you enjoyed your tea, he placed a small, delicate bouquet of your favourite flowers on the table, their petals as vibrant as the affection he held for you in his heart. “A symbol of my devotion,” he said softly, his golden eyes reflecting the sunlight as they locked onto yours. “For someone as precious as you.”

After tea, he led you through the bustling streets of Liyue, stopping at a quaint shop where he had arranged for a selection of sweets you adored. As always, Zhongli’s attention to detail was impeccable; he remembered the specific flavours you loved and the way you smiled when you indulged in them.
