[Zhongli makes a soft, contented noise as the kiss is returned. He's very happy to receive affection from Venti at this point in their relationship, not that it had stopped either of them from sweet gestures before, but with very few eyes on them he's happy to oblige. His eyes flutter open. He gazes at Venti with the warmth of the afternoon sun on a stone, his amber eyes soft and almost wet.]

Má què... My words fail me.

[He presses their foreheads together after a moment.]

Every day I am blessed to have another sunrise with you. [He leaves more tiny kisses on Venti's knuckles, his fingertips, anything he can reach.] ... I love you so very much.

[A pause, and then he adds in a whisper:]

I will show you my gratitude tonight, but this will do for now.
