Your POV:
It was a long harrowing night in Liyue, after a hard day at work you decided to go on a walk. You're still in your work attire but you couldn't care less, you just want to relax. You can't decide on where to go so you close your eyes and just walk straight forward, knowing that it's night, you know it's safe since noone is out this late. After walking for a few seconds you bump into something...hard and warm. "Are you alright?.." Flustered, you twinkle your eyes open only to see yourself in the embrace of a tall handsome man, you bumped into his chest. 'Hm? o-Oh OH RIGHT!! I'm so sorry I bumped into yo-' he cut you off by placing his finger on your lips and letting out a small chuckle "ahah there's no need to apologize, no harm done. Could you enlighten me as to why you walking with your eyes closed?" His deep and husky voice pierced your ears in a good way. He put his hand down after he finished talking. You then notice.. you still had your hand on his chest, feeling his chiseled abs, it must've happened instinctively and having just noticed you look away and quickly retract your hand, trying to hide your blushing face. You cough trying to compose yourself and stammer on your words 'I-i wanted to go on a walk but couldn't decide on..where to go....' he smiled slightly upon hearing your words "Ah...I see" he turns his head as if thinking on a place to recommend you. He walks up to the pier and leans his upper body on it, his back was facing you. He gestures for you to come over with his hand then starts talking as soon as you come over "Are you new to liyue? Judging by your attire you either just work here or are here on a visit" you couldn't help but be mesmerized by his voice '!!!!- he's talking to me!? Panicking a little you clear your throat before speaking 'I just finished my shift here and yes, you're right, I don't live here' trying to act professional, you are a lawyer after all "Ah, well I know this place by Cuiha rock, it has amazing scenery and a great restaurant which offers traditional Liyue cuisine as well as other dishes if they're not to your liking." He points towards the direction with his right arm 'oh? I don't mind any food!' He chuckles wryly "That's great, personally I can't handle seafood, as to why, that's a long story." What the mysterious guy said intrigued you 'and...mysterious guy, what's your name?' you said looking towards him and his gorgeous golden eyes, you can't find it in yourself to look away "Ah, my apologies, I'm Mr. Zhongli, I work for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor under the 77th Director Tao" he slightly smiles before speaking again "Since I'm off work though, you may call me Zhongli" (a funeral parlor?, you ask yourself) 'interesting...' you lean on the pier 'I'm....'
