[Operation Proposal!]

It's been so long.... we've been dating for so long... Childe thought, Is it really time?

He sighs, scratching his head like crazy, and face plants onto the table. I really need advise... But who.... Suddenly, he thought of the perfect advisor.

He grabbed a piece of paper and a quill and starts writing a letter. To his family, specifically the eldest among all his younger siblings, sister Tonia.

'Dear Tonia,

How's family doing? I promise I will be back as soon as I can. I need your help with an issue. I'm thinking about proposing to my lover. But the thing is... I don't know how... I really need your advise. It's really embarrassing... we've been together for years now, maybe once I propose I can bring him home and introduce him to the family, and even host the wedding there! But... I just can't find the right way to propose... Send help please...

Your brother, Ajax.'

He puts it in an envelope, and pays a sailor to send the letter to his sister. 2 days later, he receives a letter back...

'Dear Ajax,

I just want to say that we all miss you! And will be looking forward to your return. Don't worry, Teucer told me everything that happened, his name was... Mr. Zhongli? If I'm correct.. Don't worry I've send a little helper, he should be very useful! I heard he was the one that got you two together~ ;)

Best of luck, Tonia'

'Got us two together..? Wait a second... Does she mean..' Childe heard a familiar voice..

'Big brother!!' Just as he expected, the "little helper" was none other than his own little brother, Teucer. Surprisingly, Lumine was right beside him,

'What's up Childe? We happened to bump into your little brother again and he told us everything! Planning to propose was it?' Lumine grins, (truly a woman of culture)

Seems like Tonia already filled in on Teucer too... But Childe trusts that his little brother could actually help, as said, he was the one that got ChiLi Together.

'Operation...Proposal..?' Teucer asked, 'Big sister Tonia told me that you needed help with Operation Proposal!' Teucer cheered,

'Uh.. keep it down a bit... we're in my workspace...' Childe whispered,

'Oops! Sorry!' Teucer said, a little softer,

'So.... It's a proposal... Have you... got the ring?' Paimon tilts her head,

Crap.... He thought

'You didn't get one did you?' Lumine said, looking unamused,

'Yeah...Listen- I've been thinking about it recently and never thought this would happen so quick-'

'Shut the excuses "Comrade" we need to get you a ring.' Lumine puts her hand on her hips,

'Big brother... Could you tell me what Mr. Zhongli's favourite gem is? Maybe you can get a custom made ring with the gem as the star of the ring! He would surely love it!' Teucer suggested,

'Teucer, you're a genius!' Paimon smiles,

'Hehe... Thanks, Paimon!' Teucer said,

'If I know my boyfriend well, he would definitely choose a cor lapis ring, more on the exquisite side, specifically. We have to find a cor lapis that has a slight glow..He would surely love that.' Childe said,

'But where do we find cor lapis this great?' Teucer asked,

'...Tell me comrades, have you heard about Mount Hulao?' Childe smiles,
