“ AhHh i didn’t know cleaning shelves would be such tiring work “ Childe yawned as he plopped beside Zhongli swinging his arm around him earning a sigh from the dark haired male

“ once you get used to it , it would no longer be tedious work Childe. You just need to practise this more often , maybe you could help me rearrange my desk tomorrow “ He chuckled gesturing to the piles and piles of papers on his desk

“  A-Ah ?! NO NO NO MR ZHONGLI ! i rather sit here with you organising papers and spend some time talking to you, we could swap roles tomorrow right Yujing ? “ Childe smirked knowing i was more than happy to sit beside Zhongli while helping him organise his consultations with clients since he would always start random conversations about various subjects

“ Im done with my work for today , excuse me while i go return these papers to Mr Kwan...stay here i will join you two for dinner, try not to break anything alright ? “ Zhongli asked as he got up from his seat with the said papers in hand walking off to the back of The funeral parlour

“ Hey so about switching tasks tomorrow-“

“ Childe you know i can’t reach the top shelves-“

“ Well you could always ask Mr Zhongli to help you “ He nudged me smiling slyly

“ I mean he would be rather willing to help you don’t you think~”

“ tart we talked about this “

“ Im sure Mr Zhongli would be willing to help you don’t be so sure he won’t afterall you- “

“ SHUSH “ I panicked smacking my hands over his mouth giving him the ‘ one-more-word-and-i-will-end-you ‘ look as Zhongli returned from his short errand

“ is there something wrong here...? “ He asked looking at us quizzically

“ N-no ! Childe was just insisting he swapped jobs with me tomorrow and was going to try to convince you to make me rearrange the desks and shelves tomorrow instead since he wants to sit with you and bug you ! “ I quickly reason smiling awkwardly while Childe peeled my hands of his mouth

“ Hey ! You can’t have Mr Zhongli all to yourself , don’t you think your being a little selfish ? “ Childe whined smacking my head with the paper fan he made out of unused parchment

“ I don’t see a need for that...i enjoy her company very much “ Zhongli coughed lightly looking away

YOU
ENJOY
MY
COMPANY ?!
OH MY GOD REX LAPIS HAS HEARD MY PRAYERS

“ What ? You enjoy her company and not mine ?! Mr Zhongli surely you don’t think her humour is on par with mine ! “ Childe gasped fanning himself dramatically

“ her humour is far superior than your sub par puns “ Zhongli said shaking his head and dragging us both out of the Funeral parlour

“ you hear that tart Zhongli finds my humour better than yours“ I mumbled loud enough for Childe to hear

“arn’t you two just lovely together” He huffed

“Indeed we are” Zhongli chuckled
