Do you want to know a secret, ..? As delicious as all of this food is I prefer Xiansheng. [ kisses zhongli once more as he grabs a piece of chicken for him to taste. ]
[ smiles, opening his mouth for the bite. he might normally be embarrassed, but seeing as five and emet are doing something similar he finds himself not caring. they’re in good company. ]
[ and that’s going to earn a chuckle. ] I beg to differ, Zhongli. [ it’s so hard to refrain from touching to punctuate his point!!! ] I think you could satisfy me just fine on your own.
I hope you can do so as we are, since I have no intention of letting go. [ he’s just going to keep himself loosely draped on zhongli. ] Do you want to see how much I’ve improved with chopsticks, Xiansheng? [ prepare to be underwhelmed. ]
[ childe takes the chopsticks and very shakily and reaches to grab one of the jade parcels. he doesn't drop it, by some miracle, and instead holds it up to give zhongli. ]
Here, Xiansheng. [ he's concentrating REAL hard right now. ]
We ordered them often enough. If I didn't think I could replicate the recipe at this point, then I'm not the chef I think I am. [ a lighthearted chuckle. ] But I'm glad you like them. You know, Xiansheng, if you're interested in semi authentic Liyuan cuisine I can always assist. [ tries to grab himself a jade parcel, his hands trembling as he attempts to navigate the piece of food to his own mouth. ]
[ he adjusts the chopsticks, about to try again, when zhongli picks up a piece of food to offer to him. ]

Ah, [ clears his throat and stares it down for a moment. ] thank you, Xiansheng. [ takes the bite, humming his response, since he can only eat so fast. ] Maybe you can show me how to make your version of Bamboo Shoot Soup.
A strict teacher is the best kind of teacher. Bring it on, Xiansheng, I won’t disappoint you. [ guides him a bit further down the table so he can get a taste of the soup he did make. ] But how about giving me some critique on what I’ve prepared without your guidance?

[ And he cuts another bite of chicken and holds it up for Childe. ]
The chef and host should also enjoy the fruits of his labor.

[ And he pecks Childe on the lips once he has finished chewing. ]
Let me prepare a plate for you since you have already worked so hard cooking for everyone.

Zhongli takes it carefully between his teeth, freeing Childe from the burden of chopsticks and being adoringly spoiled at the same time.
A win/win situation on both accounts.
Once he has finished chewing: ]
Mmmm. I see you have paid close attention to how Xiangling prepares them.

[ plop. ]
[ pretend you didn't see that zhongli. ]

Instead, Zhongli just expertly picks another one up and holds it out for Childe to eat. ]
I would enjoy that. Cooking together, I mean.

I'll have you know I can be a very strict teacher when it comes to that particular dish. But I'm sure you'll rise to the challenge.
