"Lumine!"
Somewhere in Liyue Harbor, Lumine was waiting for Aether and Paimon when she was greeted by a certain short-haired guy. He's Childe, a Fatui Harbringer and one of the friends of the twins who always tried to "flirt" with her - according to Aether.
"Hi!" Childe waved his hands.
"Oh! Hi...Childe" Lumine awkwardly waved back with a little blush on her face.
"Good timing I got to see you! What are you doing in here?" Childe asked with a cheerful expression.
"I was...waiting for Aether and Paimon" Lumine answered. "They're going to buy some snacks at a nearby shop"
"I see..."
And it's the perfect time for Childe to tell her.
"You know, I want to ask you this for a long time...but I never have the chance to do so" Childe said in cliche manner.
"What's it?" Lumine was curious.
"Will you go out with me, Lumine? Just only two of us" Childe asked romantically.
Lumine was shocked in silent.
"What's your answer, Lumine?" Childe waited for her to speak.
"Uh..."
Lumine was about to answer when Aether and Paimon just appeared behind Childe out of sudden. And her twin brother seemed to be very upset as he was engulfed in a dark aura.
"Childe..."
Childe quickly turned behind in shock.
"Morning, Aether! Today's weather is very nice, isn't it?" Childe pretended to act normally.
"How many times I need to remind you not to flirt with my sister?" Aether growled.
"Chill, Aether! I don't mean any harm to your sister!"
"I swear that I'm going to break every of your bones soon!"
Lumine took a deep sigh as Paimon flew next to her. Yes, Aether is a kind person...yet in the same time, he's the overprotective type too.
"Should Paimon stop them from fighting?" Paimon asked.
"Nah, just let them be" Lumine replied.
The end.
