Before we start, F/F means favourite flower

You yawned loudly as soon as you woke up in your tent.

"Good morning, sleepyhead."

Just as always, Yanfei and Hu Tao were already awake.

"Today's the day, isn't it?"

"Shhhhhhhh! Look up!"

And as soon as I raised my eyes, it was there, StormTerror was right there, above me, standing on the cliff. I was too speechless to say anything. The majestic creature took off after some seconds, those were the longest yet the slowest seconds of my life.

"That... Was... So freaking cool!"

Hu Tao covered her face. She looked... Flustered?

"Hm? Hu Tao? Everything ok? What happened"

"N-Nothing!"

"Hehe, I know what happened."

I looked at Yanfei, my face probably had "tell me" written on it.

"Well, you see, she-"

*Bonk*

"Ouch! Why did you do that, Hu?"

Hu Tao whispered something to Yanfei

"Fine, i guess, but you should-"

*Bonk*

"Fine! I won't talk about it anymore! Anyways, have you guys found your windblume yet?"

"Errrrrr..."

"Anyways, here's mine! A glaze lily! It's very pretty, isn't it?"

"Awww! Thank you, YanYan!" Hu Tao hugged Yanfei, I couldn't help but smile.

"You should try to find one as soon as possible! Today we have to go back to Liyue!"

"Oh shit... You're right..."

"Let the great windblume research begin!" Hu Tao screamed.

Hu Tao's POV

"Hmmm, let's see, maybe a windwheel aster? Or should I just go with the silk flower? Ai-yai-yai... Who knew choosing a flower could be this difficult..."

"Hm? Hu Tao? I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Venti!"

"Hehe, yup! Did the Windblume wind bring you here? Or do you visit for some other reason?"

"I came here with my best friend and... her brother."

"That pause tells me that he's more than her brother... Did the gentle breeze of romance get you too? How's he? Is he handsome? Tall? Come on, tell me everything!"

"Hey! Ai-yai-yai w-what are you talking about? It's just a friend!"

"Hmhm"

"Don't "hmhm" me!"

"I don't believe you. At least tell me if you like him."

"I- I guess...? But we aren't anything more than friends."

"What's the name?"

"Y/N, He said he knows you."

"WHAT?!"

"Hey! Don't yell!"
