"oh, I'm here to just meet my vision holders... I have not much to do at Liyue to be exact" Zhongli explained as he stood behind Albedo, watching him do his experiments, Childe did the same, he stood awkwardly and observed every movement Albedo made, he was confused and couldn't catch up with what he was doing.
"I've heard, your favourite is osmanthus wine?" Albedo asked, Zhongli started to feel suspicious against him, he wanted to know where Albedo has discovered all of these information, he wonders if Albedo knew any of his confidential stuff too. "ye—" "Ah, yes.. Mr Zhongli has always talked about his osmanthus wine and stuff here now and then" Childe said before Zhongli could say anything. Albedo chuckled a little, he placed his beakers down, he laughed at Zhongli "hah, you're very interesting Mr Zhongli, do you really just want to remember the taste of that specific wine by recalling it? Well, I could spare an hour with you, come along! I know a place that sold osmanthus wine"

did this mere fatui harbinger just insult me? How cute..

"Is that true? I really appreciate your generosity Albedo... I hope this moment would last long" Zhongli smiled while he accepted Albedo's offer. "It's not much of big deal really... come on! Before the wine gets sold out" the trio began their journey.
"We're here, just go find a seat somewhere and a waiter will help you order your drinks"
"mmh..~, not bad, it tastes.." "the same as you remember?" Childe helped to reply Zhongli after he took a sip of osmanthus wine. Zhongli turned his head and stared at Childe sternly, but not saying a word. "Ah, that's great to hear... since you concluded that, maybe we should visit each other here often" Albedo said as he looked around for a clock either hanging on the wall or placed at the cashier's desk, he needed to keep track of the time.
"Seems like its almost an hour has past, I'll go back to my lab for now... see you soon Mr Zhongli" "alright then, farewell Albedo" Albedo and Zhongli said to each other, while Albedo waved goodbye and left. It is just Zhongli and Childe now, things were getting awkward until a resident of Mondstadt asked "I'm sorry misters... it seems like you guys had finished your drinks, mind if we take over?" Zhongli and Childe both nodded their heads and headed out.
      "Childe, I have not much to do now... I'll go back to Liyue while you have your fun. Also... may I have my coat back?" "A-alright! No problem, here is your coat" Childe passed the the coat to Zhongli, nodding his head as a sign of thankfulness. "I shall take my leave, goodbye" just as Zhongli started walking off, Childe reached his arm out to grab Zhongli's hand, the light touch of Childe's hands startled Zhongli, he turned back, asked for what Childe needed, "hm? Do you need anything from me?" "I-I... you know, I haven't been having fights recently and it's getting boring... and I was wonder if I could take you in a fight?..." Childe placed his hand behind his head and scratched his hair, smiling weirdly. Zhongli sighed softly at Childe, "Childe... can't you go on for a week without any fights? Don't overestimate yourself though, you haven't had an experience fighting with me before" "wait... so that's a yes? Great! I'm so delighted to have a challenge with you!" Childe's eyes shimmered as he smiled from ear to ear. Blushing a little, Zhongli admired Childe's smile, not wanting him to stop grinning.
      "This opportunity is quite hard to come by, well then... amuse me" (HELP IDK WHAT TO WRITE BEFORE THE BATTLE STARTS 😰) Childe said, feeling relaxed. The battle began, Childe started with his usual move, shooting his bows with divine aim at Zhongli without any hesitation, however, Zhongli dodged not only swiftly ,and as quick as light, he moved from place to place at the golden house. When Childe was done shooting, it was time for Zhongli to make his move, however Zhongli was walking in circles around him sternly, trying to think of a smart attack. When Childe expected Zhongli to charge towards him, Zhongli suddenly disappeared, but glowing yellow crystals started building up on the ground, in fact, growing towards Childe. When the stones reached somewhere near Childe, Zhongli appeared out of nowhere and threw his spear straight to the ground.
      Childe's pov:
-
what kind of attack is this? How... I better move quick!
-
     When the spear reached the ground, Zhongli reached out his leg and used a great amount of strength to kick it, the quick spinning of the spear caught Childe very fast, as the spear got behind Childe, Zhongli got to his spear and attacked him from the back. "Ngh!.. what a smart move Mr Zhongli... I knew you wouldn't disappoint me" With no reply, Zhongli summoned his geo pillar right when Childe started shooting up at the sky, with the bows landing back on the ground. Now that Zhongli is shielded, he can attack Childe again, he grabbed his spear tightly, making quick and swift attacks at Childe, causing him to unleash his delusion.
