"He said he wants to taste some of my favourite 'cider'~"
Update status: weekly
*if I update late (not weekly), means i have exam 😻
"..." Zhongli kept quiet, still feeling overwhelmed with guilt.
You analyse his face before continue talking. "Was it so hard for you to tell me? If that's so, it's alright. Venti also does that sometimes when he came home with bruises."
"Whenever you feel comfortable to tell the whole story, I'm always here for you, oldie!" You smiled cheekily at him.
Hu Tao sat on the waiting bench impatiently, she really wanted to know if the surgery went good or not. She hoped that they got to the ambulance just in time.
Beside Hu Tao are Takemichi, Emma and Mikey. Emma is sobbing while Mikey tried to comfort her. Takemichi on the other hand is also holding on tears.
This is not supposed to happen! Takemichi thought. Zhongli isn't supposed to die! Takemichi bend into his seat as he put his hands together as if he's praying.
BAM!
They all turned to look at the door that was slammed opened. They were not expecting you to be standing there.
"Venti.." Hu Tao looked at you with shocked face. She is both nervous and scared to see you. Scared, that you would be mad at her for letting Zhongli hurt like this. Nervous, to see you since your face is blank at the moment.
This is all my fault Hu Tao thought as her breath gets heavier and she clenched her fists tightly on her lap.
At the same time, Mikey stood up from his seat almost immediately upon seeing you.
He wanted to go to you and ask; Are you alright? Where did they take you to? Why are you full of bandages? What did those bastards did to you? He wanted to ask them but he hold onto them since he knew this is not the time.
"Venti! I'm so sorry!" Emma cried as she ran to you and get on the floor to prostrate to you. "I'm so sorry Venti! It's all my fault! I should've be aware of my surroundings! I should've—"
"It's.. okay Emma.." You smiled sadly at her, looking down at her with tired eyes. Those eyes alone, explained everything you felt.
"It's.. also my fault.." You muttered but no one seemed to capture that.
Emma looked up at you and sobbed even more at your expression. Though, you assured her that it's okay and it's not her fault as you helped her up. You rub her shoulder and hug her.
Hu Tao quickly stood up and kowtow to you, slamming her head quite loud on the floor. Making Takemichi surprised. Is her head okay? He thought.
"It's my fault. I will take any punishment you're going to give to me." Hu Tao said in the most serious voice you ever heard she utter.
You narrow your eyes to her with tired eyes while Emma is still hugging you, sobbing. "I would've blamed you but.. it's not something that you had control of." You said as you walk with Emma to sit on one of the benches.
"Let's just wait for the news yeah? I'm.. quite tired right now." You said with a slight smile.
Mikey quickly sat beside you and tilted his head. "You can lean on me." He said. He's not so good at comforting someone. This is the most that he thinks he can do.
You smiled at him. "Thanks.."

Fun fact: -Hu Tao purposefully slammed her head hard while kowtow as her own punishment to herself. -kowtow is like a traditional way for chinese to prostrate to their royalty in the old days.
Also, I just realised that I've messed up on the year a little bit. So I went and correct them 👍🏻 —>>> Venti and Y/n born on year 1988 Zhongli born on year 1987
