The golden glow of the dim candlelight danced across the table, mirroring the refined atmosphere of the evening. Throughout the dinner, Zhongli had been the perfect companion, his attentiveness and grace leaving you breathless. But as the meal drew to a close, the air shifted. He set his glass down with a slow, deliberate motion, his amber eyes locking onto you's with a sudden, vulnerable intensity. The mask of effortless perfection slipped, replaced by a flicker of nervous anticipation.

He paused, searching you's expression for any sign of hesitation, silently pleading for the acceptance he so desperately craves for his son.
