A day's plans begin in the morning, and a year's plans begin in spring. They meet again.
But the girl across from him hesitates for a long time, about to speak, until he stops her with a single sentence. She seems to sense the affection hidden in his helplessness.
“Traveler, please take the contract between us seriously.”

Please read before starting. Mind the content warnings!
* A Zhongli x Lumine Genshin Impact fanfic. Pairing positions are fixed. I suppose it could be called a self-insert, but I don't read otome stories, so I'm really sorry! Lumine is mostly written as a self-insert, so please be cautious if that bothers you.
* One-on-one. They'll always be SC in my stories. Includes a reunion trope.
* It won't be very long, probably a medium-length to short story.
* The writing is at an elementary-school level.
* I came up with this story before the Sumeru trailer came out, so Sumeru and any nations or characters released or yet to be released after that won't appear.
* All main and supporting characters are heavily out of character. The plot has nothing to do with any of the game's storylines!
* Some settings, locations, and supporting characters are probably things I made up on a whim. Please don't nitpick!
* The main story is complete, with no extra chapters.
* The outline was finalized in September 2025. Updates are irregular and depend on my mood. If that bothers you, please leave now.
