He loves me, He loves me not. (One-Shot)

In many possible AU's, someone could be lucky enough to be Zhongli's (mortal) lover, the famous Liyuean in the Harbor. they get to experienced his gentle and patient love, his sweet whispers and caress cuddling them a good night.

yet all was for nought, when they realized Zhongli could only whisper those sweet things because they reminded him of Guizhong— who he kept insisting was his mere friend.

; attempted angst (no comfort?), Zhongli x Reader, Guizhong (mentioned), distorted perception of love(?), lowercase

it was a humble day in Liyue Harbor. the night was calm with its gentle breeze, the laughter in the night market being its main jolly tune. amidst the pairs of lovers, people could see the most famous one walking hand in hand.

Zhongli could most definitely feel the gossips and stares. although he was already immune through the millennia that he had to endure it, the same thing couldn't be said for his dear lover.

❛darling, should we brisk walk to that boutique?❜ he asked as he sneakily placed his free hand on his pocket, glad that he remembered to bring a stash of Mora. after all, his lover has been paying for their dates the past few weeks. it was only fair to pay them back.

❛oh, is there an occasion?❜ they asked as though unfazed, yet Zhongli could feel their grip tightening on his arm. he caresses his fingers through their clothes in hopes to calm them down.

❛hm? should there be an occasion to show my love for you?❜ Zhongli felt them flinch at his question, but he paid no heed thinking they were merely shocked.

❛(Name)?❜

to them, they grimaced at their involuntary movement. their heart beating erratically as the searing burn in their chest began to flame hard. his question ignited the ugly emotions swirling within, even with their attempts on quelling it down.

they didn't think Zhongli had noticed, but he had been quite different lately.

from the start, (Name) didn't mind his stories. in fact, they asked for them. they knew that Zhongli isn't just the 'man with abundant knowledge' because he is the knowledge itself. the history of Liyue weaved in his hands.

it wasn't the reason they loved Zhongli though. it was more than that and he could see it— see the genuine love they held for him.

when they asked about his history, Zhongli complied. a smile adorning his face that (Name) could swoon over.

it soon fell when he kept talking about her. every. single. day.

❛these meals were one of Guizhong's favorites. I brought these when she's feeling dejected. I think you'll come to like it too.❜

❛do you love the gift I crafted you, my darling? the inspiration originates in one of Guizhong's creations.❜

❛she truly is a magnificent god. her beauty is as beautiful as the Liyue skies. might I tell you that time where—❜

❛hm? of course I love you, dear. nothing could ever surpass my feelings about you.❜

now, they weren't jealous. their love stood strong even when the fear attempts to pierce through. multiple what-ifs going through their head, but they didn't bother themselves to it. Zhongli loves them. he didn't love her, he said it so himself..

..so why does it feel like they were only a replacement for someone Zhongli couldn't have anymore?

❛(Name), are you alright?❜

❛huh?❜ they blinked, suddenly finding themselves staring right into his handsome face, ❛no, of course not.❜

when a frown etched in his face, they realized their mistake, ❛I- I mean! no, there's no need for an occasion to show one's love. anyway, let's go to the boutique?❜

the smile went back to his face once more. and it was infectious as their clouded mind began to clear, their steps a tad lighter as they went ahead to the newly opened boutique.

when they arrived, the staffs greeted them with pure customer service. they didn't suffocate them much with it, but their stares told a different meaning; they love the gossip too.

❛welcome to Lion's boutique!❜

(Name) was kind of glad the staffs kept their professionalism. else they'd dug themselves a hole and hide forever. after a few chit-chats and fake smiles, the staffs went ahead and let the loverbirds roam around the shop freely.

❛Zhongli, what do you think fits me best?❜ they questioned, fiddling with a random fabric.

they could hear him hum as he thought of a reply. they knew that their lover had a keen eye in clothes as much as he is in history. soon enough, he offered (Name) a specific grey fabric, a loose dress fit for most adult Liyueans.

❛these shall do.❜

❛alright, thanks!❜

thinking nothing much of it, they merrily whisk themselves in the fitting room. their heart basically soaring at the fact that Zhongli chose them a clothing. it was the first out of all things they've done as lovers, so it felt quite special.

when they came out, Zhongli's eyes creased with a smile— the soft, endearing look they received made everything worth it.

❛that fabric design suits you well, darling.❜

if (Name)'s heart could jump out and fly away, it would.

❛thank you, love.❜

the dress was fine, the dress was fine. they thought repeatedly as a thought occured.

❛Zhongli, what do you think should I wear next-❜

❛what a coincidence,❜ he utters loud enough for them to hear, ❛the design on your clothes..❜

he paused, suddenly noticing something. when he had that familiar look again, (Name) knew what was about to come as their confidence slowly dwindled. they could only hold back a frustrated sigh as they let him do as he pleases.

❛it is similar to how Guizhong once embroided the Glaze Lilies on her skirt once for a formal occasion, to emphasize how much she truly loved the flowers.❜

you could've just said you love her too.

❛..how interesting,❜ they grit out, going back to the dressing room to change their clothes that they knew Zhongli's precious girl—friend Guizhong wouldn't wear. with how much he yaps about her, (Name) already felt like they met the god. so they went ahead and chose a dress for themselves. the anger quelling down but never diminishing.

after the silent quarrel, the days continue to come as normal. yet a seed of doubt began to grow in their mind. was it just nostalgia in Zhongli's eyes when he began reminiscing his time with her? was it truly alright to bear with the fact that he now sees them with the mask of a dead woman?

right now, they mustered up the courage to make excuses. they left Zhongli back in the Harbor as the pain became too much. he smiled more when it was about her. all about the woman he kept insisting was his friend.

(Name) came to a stop in one of the cliffs in Liyue, the tranquil skies being their solace as they sat down. the grass tickling their fingers grounded them to reality.

❛I shouldn't have asked him.. it's all my fault.❜

they knew that Zhongli finally began to notice their weird behaviour. the sudden refusal to go on dates, the outbursts of anger slowly coming undone. still, he couldn't stop talking about Guizhong.

she was lovely alright, (Name) knew that. they respected her even. but when your own lover kept talking about someone else, the one that got away— but hey! she's just a friend and nothing else. how long can (Name) bear it? Zhongli doesn't seem to know it himself, that his thoughts about her were all leading to one thing.

he loves her.

at this point, they didn't know if it was his ignorance or deliberate show. either way, they want to break up with him. they truly do. if Zhongli could have all the patience in the world, they can't.

they weren't immortal.

they could've spend their own feeble eternity with someone else who could make them feel special and wanted. yet his warm smiles, his gracefulness, and eloquent words turns them into a melting mess.

never to be fixed until the cold reality settles in.

My guizhong/ping theory

In my opinion guizhong/zhongli was one sided. guizhong saw zhongli as a close friend. guizhong and ping were the real deal. although the “dispute” at the beginning between them we can clearly see that they bonded deeply through music and their shared love for mechanical creations.

Note that the colours representing ping and guizhong are blue/gold which are also complementary colours. on top of that glaze lilies have blue petals(ping) and a golden core(guizhong). the description says that

“Legend has it that the flower will open at the sound of pure, beautiful music, and that there was once one who loved this flower more than any other.”

What if the flower symbolises pings heart that opened at the sound of music, guizhong’s music, blue petals opening to reveal the golden core, pings heart belonging to guizhong!!

Am I the only one who creates cute scenarios in my mind while farming for character materials?

Like I'd play as Beidou walking around Qingce Village at night picking only the best glaze lillies to give to Ningguang.

Just me?

Flowers of Teyvat Masterpost*

Sweet Flower

Particularly fragrant flowers. They can be found easily, even in the dark. Just follow the scent.

Found everywhere in Teyvat, sweet flowers are often used to add a dash of sweetness to culinary dishes. Sweet flowers are urn shaped and have fused petals with five sepals. Interestingly enough, there appears to be a secondary set of petals and sepals beneath the main flower head!

Mondstadt

Cecilia

A beautiful flower with a name that suits its appearance. It only grows where harsh winds blow, and is just as intangible as the true heart of an unbound soul.

Cecilias grow high atop Mondstadt's cliffs in full sun. They have a solitary, star-shaped flower that appears to have six petals and no sepals, but I suspect they are similar to lilies in that they have three petals and three sepals of similar size and color (or "six tepals"). The parallel veins in the leaves are characteristic of a monocot plant.

Small Lamp Grass

A wild grass that emits light at night. Used in cooking to enhance other flavors. Just as the subtle fragrance of wild flowers will not distract a focused person, Small Lamp Grass’ delicate glow will not attract their attention, either, even at night.

It's most distinguishable feature is that it glows, and it seems to grow well in the shade of Mondstadt's old forests. Small lamp grass has a solitary, urn-shaped flower with five petals and five sepals. The parallel veins in the leaves are characteristic of a monocot.

Windwheel Aster

A plant that adores the wind. To the proud children of the wind, or the citizens of Mondstadt, the Windwheel Asters are “the visible winds.”

With petals shaped like a pinwheel, windwheel aster grows in small groups throughout the Mondstadt countryside. It seems to prefer full sun and, like a cecilia, has six tepals. The parallel veins in the leaves are characteristic of a monocot plant.

Liyue

Glaze Lily

An extremely ancient flower that was said to be commonly seen in Liyue. It transforms the memories of the land into its fragrance during florescence. Legend has it that the flower will open at the sound of pure, beautiful music, and that there was once one who loved this flower more than any other. Now, however, the sight of a Glaze Lily in full bloom out in the wild is a rare one indeed.

The glaze lily used to be a common star-shaped flower in Dihua Marsh, but was nearly wiped out during the Archon War. Now, glaze lilies are cultivated in Yujing Terrace and Qingce Village. The glaze lily has five petals and ten sepals. While the common name is "glaze lily", the veining in the leaves shows that the flower is a dicot and, thus, not a true lily.

Qingxin

A translucent white flower that only grows on the highest stone peaks. It eschews the warmth and moisture of the plains to gaze out afar from the solitary mountaintops.

The qingxin flower prefers full sun and is commonly found on mountaintops in Liyue. It has five tepals per flower and an umbellate inflorescence where there are four flowers per stem. The heart-shaped leaves with net-like veins are characteristic of a dicot.

Silk Flower

A crimson flower that blooms like the rainbow clouds in Liyue. It can be made into silky-smooth fabric. Liyue's Feiyun Commerce Guild is a giant in silk and textile manufacturing. Legend has it that Feiyun Commerce Guild has a secret Silk Flower nursery somewhere in the mainland. Nobody in the industry can rival their yield and texture.

The silk flower, which is used to make both cloth and perfume, is found at Wangshu Inn and Yujing Terrace in full sun. It has five petals arranged radially around the center of the flower with ten sepals. A silk flower bush has red, palmate leaves with veining typical of a dicot.

Violetgrass

A small flower with strong vitality. It is said that its downward-blooming flower keeps its fragrance from dissipating.

Found in full sun on the cliffs of Liyue, violetgrass is a medicinal herb that has tubular flowers and vine-like stems. It has four fused petals and four sepals. The net-like veins in the leaves are characteristic of a dicot.

Inazuma

Dendrobium

A vibrant plant that has also been named the "lycoris" by the poets. It was once thought extinct in the Inazuman archipelago, only to re-emerge now upon the battlefields. It is said that it blooms most enchantingly where much blood was spilled.

Though it is very rare and expensive, this plant is regarded as ominous, and thus is little purchased. Rumor has it that these plants are watered using blood. The bloodier and more brutal the battlefield, the more lovely the dendrobium blooms shall be. Inazumans believe that the souls of the fallen shall follow the winding paths of the bloodied dendrobiums into the next life, thus rejoining the eternal elemental cycle.

But as for those who doubt or are perplexed by "eternity," they shall be shackled to the earth, becoming another enchantingly red flower amid the vermillion fields.

The dendrobium flower grows exclusively near battlefields or arenas. Its nickname, "Lycoris", is likely a reference to Lycoris radiata, the red spider lily, which symbolizes death and reincarnation. The dendrobium flower has six petals and six sepals. The net-like veins in the leaves are characteristic of a dicot.

Naku Weed

Even on windless days, this plant will tremble lightly amid the cries of thunder. The part of it that resembles petals are in fact extensions of the leaves meant to protect the fragile flower.

The Naku Weed grows strongly in areas saturated with Electro energy. Due to its great affinity for lightning, it is often used by residents to predict storms. Stories tell that these plants are what the bake-danuki Ioroi stole from the Shogun's very own garden using its powers, before planting them throughout the islands. Even long after its punishment and disappearance, people still speak of Ioroi's many deeds.

Naku weeds are commonly found in areas with strong electro energy. Although they don't appear to have flowers, at first, if you look closely at the central part of the plant, you will see a small bulb protected by an arrow-shaped leaf-like structure. The number of petals and sepals is unknown. The plant does not have visible veins in the leaves, so I'm unsure if it's a monocot or a dicot.

Sumeru

Kalpalata Lotus

Flowers from vines that grow on cliff sides. It is called a lotus only because it has a similar appearance to one. Aside from that, it bears no other similar properties to the lotus.

The kalpalata lotus is a vine-like plant with rotate flowers that grows on Sumeru’s cliffsides in partial shade. It has five petals and five sepals, both a robin’s egg blue. The center appears much like the carpellary receptacle in water lotuses, hence the name. The net-like veins in the leaves are characteristic of a dicot.

Nilotpala Lotus

Growing in the forest wetlands, these plants only bloom at night with flowers as bright as the moon.

The nilotpala lotus is a night-blooming rotate flower with striking blue petals. “Nilotpala” means blue water lily in Sanskrit, but unlike the day-blooming Nymphaea caerulea, the reproductive organs in the center appear more like a lotus’ carpellary receptacle. It has five petals and five sepals, but the only part that the traveler harvests for use is the center. Although it is called a lotus and appears to have the reproductive organs of one, the nilotpala lotus flowers and leaves both rest on the surface of the water, and its leaves have a split, which makes it a water lily. As a water lily, it is neither a monocot nor a dicot, but rather a basal angiosperm.

Padisarah

A holy and noble plant. The conditions for growth in its environment are very demanding. The flower buds can be processed to make valuable spices.

Named for a flower of old long since gone extinct, the padisarah flower has interesting, purple-tipped leaves and crateriform flowers with six petals and six sepals. It seems to prefer full sun, although whether or not the plant can get sunlight within the world of dreams is questionable. The net-like branching veins in the leaves are indicative of a dicot.

Sumeru Rose

Bright and beautiful, these pure purple flowers give off a pleasant fragrance that will give any passerby pause. While some like to call this a type of ''rambler rose'', its relative lack of multiple flowers means that it falls under a different floral classification.

The Sumeru rose has vibrant purple rotate flowers with six petals and six sepals. Sometimes used for culinary purposes, these flowers are sensitive to the Ley Lines of Teyvat and glow in their presence. The parallel veins in the leaves are indicative of a monocot.

Viparyas

A flower without seeds.Once the earth remembers, the Viparyas will bloom.

Viparyas flowers are only found in the world of dreams. It appears to have a solitary white trumpet flower with fused petals and four purple sepals. The net-like veins in the leaves are indicative of a dicot.

*I'm only including the made up flowers and not the flowers that have a real-world counterpart.

Flowers of Mondstadt

Flowers of Liyue

Flowers of Inazuma

Flowers of Sumeru

Heart(Chapter 1)

Synopsis: Guizhong forces Morax to interact with mortals in Liyue to help him understand who he is protecting.

Author's Note: This writing will about my favourite ship, Guili (Zhongli/Guizhong). There has been a lack of fanfiction of this ship so I will try my best to make up for it. There will be two chapters of this writing because I don't want it to be long that is painful to read. Also remember to respect this ship, I am trying to feed the Guili shippers

Warning: Poor grammar and maybe some mischaracterization for old Zhongli. I am trying my best. Art credit:@sgrimp_ from Twitter

The Zhongli today is a calm, reserved and polite man. He who has hold much knowledge of Liyue’s culture and its history. His tone of speaking is pleasant and clear which makes listener to be drawn in whatever he is talking about. Usually about the Liyue’s custom. Zhongli is also a man with a kind heart. Despite being a retired archon, he stills care for Xiao and always send him some medicine in hope to alleviate his pain. It was never mention but I believe he would volunteer to babysit Qiqi if Baizhu is busy. As they both are immortals and known each for years.

It would be shocking to know that the Zhongli we know now was entirely the opposite when he was younger. Many won’t believed that the man who likes flowers, antique and birds used to be an aggressive killing machine. He is even mentioned to be a brutish blundering buffoon during his younger days by Venti. Thousand years ago, there was Morax instead of Zhongli. Morax is a deity, an adepti, an Archon known for many of his powerful abilities. In one among of many of his battles, he manages to conquer a sea monster, Osial, using massive stone lances to imprison the sea monster, which is known known as the Guyun Stone Forest, a reminder of what Morax can do and capable of. Hell, this man can summon a meteorite to his foes and throw mountains. Barbatos who happen to be the victim every time he pisses Morax off.

Even outside from the battle, Morax still has his violent tendencies. Teacups and such would shatter to pieces when Morax holds them. He would accidentally tear the door off when entering, scaring those inside. His manner to mortals can be quite rude and harsh due his lack of knowledge in human custom. Such surprise compare how he like in the future. Of course, Guizhong will always be there to scold and teach him.

“Oh Morax, I do wish you would remember to not obliterate monsters in front of the people next time. Your murder look scares them more than the monster itself,” Guizhong says as she waves the rescued people goodbye. “Why should they be scared? I was the one protecting them from harm,” Morax replies back. “Clean yourself up before you speak, you look you a crazed maniac with all the blood covering you,” Guizhong sighs as she gives Morax a white cloth that won’t be white anymore.

“You need to know our people are not gods likes us. They are human. They don’t possess powers and magic like the adeptus. Plus, is not like they see a blood-spattered beast every day,” Guizhong states as she eyed Morax intensely for any injuries. “Maybe one day, you would understand,” “Yeah, yeah, yeah you chatterbox. Can you stop looking at me? I am an Archon. I don’t get hurt easily over a mere wretched beast,” Morax spat out, clearly annoyed of being treated like a child.

Guizhong giggles, not offended of Morax’s harsh tone. “Without me, you would have been dead, Morax. You may be strong but reckless in battles. Stubborn even, you refused my healing and say you can deal with it, but then you pass out right away after taking a step. You remember that time, didn’t you?” Guizhong says as she tries to stifle a laugh. “You…!” Morax try to say something but it dies away behind his throat from the humiliation. The memory is still clear in his mind and he would often get teased about it from Guizhong and his other adepti allies.

“I am leaving, I wish not to see you in the next centuries,” Morax says dramatically and quickly walk away from Guizhong’s incoming teasing. He is afraid she would bring up more embarrassing memories of him if he continues to stay. Many people who don’t know him who be frightened to see how mad he looks with his grim glare and clenched jaw. But Guizhong chuckles and see him like an angered kid stomping and grumbling away from his parent for a timeout.

Guizhong knows Morax is more than how he looks. She has saw him trying to pet a cat, but the cat ran away from how harsh he is treating it. He looks so loss and defeated that Guizhong don’t know whether to laugh or pity him. Or how he tries to be gentle with the kids, but he keeps glaring at them without knowing and make them cry. He tries to give them sweets he had earlier to comfort their cries, but they keep on refusing and run away from him. Morax just stand there dumbfounded and Guizhong beside him gives him a light pat on the back.

And that’s how Morax stop interacting with his people, much to Guizhong’s dismay. As an Archon, he must interact his people and understand their human’s custom. That way, the people of Liyue will know who their archon is, not just some ghost. Guizhong understand Morax’s his lack of knowledge of human custom and she is happy Morax will make an effort to understand. She just got be patient.

Arguing or lecturing Morax won’t do. He is too hot tempered and impatient for that. And that’s when a light bulb lights up on her head. Guizhong just though of a brilliant idea and wonder how didn’t think of that earlier. She smiles and walk to the view of the people in the Guili Assembly. Tomorrow, she is going to make Morax connect with his people.
