"我很感激..你试图拯救我的女儿但是—  (I appreciate that.. you tried to save my daughter but—)" The grey-haired woman sobbed, which her husband immediately comfort her by squeezing her shoulder.

"—我的宝贝 (my baby)..!" The woman cried as her husband hugged her.

" 感谢孩子竭尽全力.. (Thanks kid for trying your best..)" The woman's husband turned and smiled sadly at little Zhongli. The couple then, walked away.

While Zhongli stood there frozen. He already tried his best but.. seems like it's not enough. He clenched his fist as he look at the ground. I thought if I brought her here, she can be saved! He thought angrily.

Angry at the situation, Zhongli also angry at himself. Why is he not crying? Someone precious to him just died, why didn't he start crying? He read in so many books that someone will cry when their loved ones died or left.

Was it so hard to cry? Or was it because he never cried ever in his nine years of living?

Was this why people called me heartless?

Then, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "不要碰我。! (DON'T TOUCH ME!)"

An eight-years-old you flinched away from his yelling. Zhongli's face quickly softened as he realised it was only you. "Y/n..! It's just you.." Zhongli said as he frowned, regretting the fact that he let out his anger on his friend.

"Nah it's okay." You said as you give him a smile and put your hands in your pocket. "Anywayyy, mind telling me what the hell happened? Don't leave me hanging."

You and Zhongli were hanging out at the park when you both suddenly heard a scream. You brushed it off and continued minding your own business.

But that's not the case for Zhongli. He immediately stood up and ran towards the scream. You yelled and asked him where he's going but he didn't answer. You also noticed the panicked expression on his face.

A new expression you see of him. You always saw him either being mad or irritated. That was except that one time when he's with this one girl..

What was her name again...

..Guizhong? You thought as you tilted your head.
