An unfortunate accident, or an attempted assassination?
Y/N, the gender neutral partner of Hu Tao now heads to Sumeru to uncover the answer of what exactly happened to their girlfriend, and to free her from whatever ails her now as a result of that...
Hu Tao: "Ewww! No! Dont call me that! Gross! Hee-hee!"
Leaving Hu Tao to giggle away in disgust, I made my way out of her office room that we were both messing around in and headed towards the front door of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour to meet the delivery person, it was too early in the morning for the Undertaker's shift watching the door after all.
Now right in front of the door, I unlock it with the key Hu Tao made for me, and then I pull the door open to reveal the young lass behind it.
Delivery Girl: "Ah! Good morning! Uhm... this is for a Director Hu?"
Y/N: "Yep, you've the right place! She's my friend—"
Hu Tao: "GIRLFRIEND!!"
Hook, line and sinker! I could hear her yelling out from the other room in a playfully dominant way. I can't help it, she just falls for these kinds of things so quickly, and she gets so defensive and territorial whenever I'm around another girl – she makes it far too easy sometimes!
Y/N: "Eh. For now at least!"
Hu Tao: "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! SWEETIE?!!"
Y/N: "I guess I can take that parcel off your hands now. Thanks!"
Delivery Girl: "Teehee! No problem!"
The girl on the other side of the door then handed me the small parcel before then giving me a wink and strutting off in a rather deliberate-looking manner... Wait, does she think that was me flirting with her...? I hope she didn't think I was actually flirting with her... for both my sake and hers!
But, well... if she chooses to pursue a taken partner, one taken by Hu Tao no less! Well... I guess that'd be her funeral! Ah... and speaking of funerals...

*tap tap tap*
Hu Tao had clearly not found the whole ordeal as entertaining as I did... as she was now staring daggers at me with her fingers crossed in a manner that exuded frustration, and her foot was angrily tapping the hard floor beneath her...
Hu Tao: ". . ."
Y/N: "What's with that stare sweetie? That pout doesn't belong on your oh-so-cute and cheery face!"
Hu Tao: "Oh! So it's my turn to get flirted at now, is it?!"
Y/N: "Huh? What do you mean? I wasn't flirting with—"
Hu Tao: "How cute was she? I bet she was cute. Why else would you tell her we were just friends?!"
