i love zhongxiao so much. i think it's such a beautiful ship and i take it upon myself to popularize and destigmatize it in this fandom 'cause it really does deserve the attention like other ships with them get (xiaolumi, zhongchi, xiaoven etc)

i still haven't moved on.

a close-up screenshot of zhongli from the 4.4. genshin impact lantern rite event. he looks at xiao as he says: "while we're on the subject, i do wonder why she [hu tao] is so obsessed with using sesame oil in the preparation of mixed vegetable dishes for lantern rite... a recommendation from xiangling, perhaps? what do you think, xiao?"

a close-up screenshot of xiao from the 4.4. genshin impact lantern rite event. he looks at zhongli as he answers: "i've only met director hu a few times. i'm hardly the best person to ask..."

a screenshot taken from the 4.4. genshin impact lantern rite event. it shows xiao and zhongli as they stand next to each other with their backs to the viewer. zhongli is looking up at the sky (at the kite he's flying). he says: "ah! and is that not a sign that you should visit wangsheng funeral parlor more often? it wouldn't hurt to grace the parlor with your presence now and again when you are otherwise unoccupied."

if we consider in the fact that hu tao didn't send zhongli to whangshu inn for sesame oil at last year's lantern rite, zhongli bringing this up a whole year later implies to me that he's curious if xiao has figured out that he's teasing him. but xiao hasn't seen through zhongli because he still holds zhongli in reverence.¹ xiao takes his every word seriously² because zhongli is still someone who should be listened to earnestly. xiao's "about zhongli" voiceline makes this very obvious. no matter what zhongli does, there must be a greater meaning to it all.

i can't believe that every zx interaction challenges the power imbalance of their previous relationship, as well as xiao's own view of it. hyv writers put their all into these two.

zhongli gently but firmly reminds xiao each lantern rite that he's no longer a god and shouldn't be addressed as such. last year, xiao still struggled with this. now, he corrected himself even though he was just thinking!

a screenshot of xiao from the 4.4. genshin impact lanterm rite event. it's a close-up of xiao with his eyes closed. he thinks to himself: "what is she [hu tao] doing here? i suppose it matters not. given her relationship with rex... with zhongli, i might as well go pay my respects."

sure, he didn't drop the 'daren' but still a huge step forward.

¹aka world's slowest slow burn. they aren't even friends yet. well. in xiao's eyes at least

²last year, when zhongli teased him about how he should be the one referring to xiao by a formal title, xiao immediately shut it down ("heaven forbid!" hahaha)
