Summary
Xiao's lord is attentive to everyone, but maybe a little more so to Xiao - Minu certainly thinks so. Yaksha are not meant for courting rituals, and even less so for gifts and poetry.
For Morax, Xiao is willing to learn.

Absolutely love this -- the TRUST, the true meeting as equals, the mature love, the quietness of the emotions -- perfection.

Summary
This is a Zhongli (Morax) and Xiao fanfiction set in the world of Genshin Impact. The story centers on a secret burden of the Geo Archon Morax: a centennial cycle of physiological and emotional turmoil called the "Tide." To manage this affliction, he established a cold and secretive system – the "Midnight Revel of the Jade Pavilion." However, when his most loyal Yaksha guardian, Xiao, driven by unspoken feelings, chooses to offer himself as a "sacrifice" to enter this Revel, everything is irrevocably altered. This volume tells the tale of their forbidden emotions, painful struggles, intense union, and the heavy choices that follow.

Summary
Zhongli and Xiao have a meal together at Wangshu Inn. It feels like finally, they have the time for themselves, just the two of them.
“It would be quite difficult, you see, for me to get closer to you with all your battle-ready armor in the way.” Zhongli easily undoes the straps and lifts the necklace and censer off. “For me to…”
For once he cuts himself short. Xiao’s accessories are laid off to the side. Zhongli lifts up the long side strand of Xiao’s hair delicately with one hand, in the same motion as though he was holding his own bangs back to lean forward for a bite of soup, to take a sip from a cup of tea, to bow and kiss the lotus flower on its petals in thanks before stripping it of its soft, luscious flesh, not to—
Not to kiss Xiao on the pale, delicate juncture of his neck and shoulder, like Xiao is that slow-boiled soup and carefully steeped tea, the lotus root perfect for picking, at Zhongli’s discretion. Zhongli, who has a discerning eye for all things no matter food, flowers, or weapons.
Alternatively, I just can't stop writing these two so in love with each other.
