·      You who brought forth meaning to his life, one that he did not realize that was missing.

·      But of course, if you had heard of any of these thoughts, you would gently laugh at him and tell him he was being love-struck.

·      But how could he not be?

·      He was very much in love with you.

·      You who had set up a birthday party of sorts with his favorite foods and teas.

·      Had invited his family and friends.

·      “Our children.” You had teasingly remarked to him.

·      Zhongli watched as Childe and Lumine were squabbling as they help set up the table outside.

·      Aether and Paimon remarked on how close the two were; exasperated at their display as they helped bring out the food.

·      It was New Year’s Eve, the last day before the start of the new year.

·      Of the old past changing to a new future.

·      It was also his birthday.

·      As all Liyue was getting ready to celebrate the New Years, you had chosen to celebrate his birthday.

·      Something he had stopped celebrating long ago.

·      It’s your birthday. It is precious to me and to everyone who loves you.

·      You had brought meaning back to his day of birth, you made him see how others saw him.

·      Zhongli smiled as you teasingly pulled Xiao to the table, promising him his favorite almond tofu.

·      Zhongli was not allowed to help, not at all.

·      No work for the birthday boy.

·      After everything was set up, you came to him.

·      You offered him your hand, and he took without hesitation.

·      Happy Birthday Zhongli!

·      What a happy day it was indeed; in the embrace of family and friends, Zhongli was truly happy.
