#Zhonglu

[ngocngadotnet]

15 years ago, I first set foot in #China 🇨🇳❤️, embarking on an incredible journey through #Sichuan's #Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture that has captivated my heart ever since. From the vibrant streets of #Chengdu, the gateway to the west, my path led me through #Kangding, where Han and #Tibetan cultures beautifully intertwine, and onto the endless skies and nomadic life of #Tagong Grassland. I ventured to #Ganzi (Garzê), the heart of the prefecture, but it was #Danba that ultimately stole my heart. With its ancient Tibetan watchtowers, vibrant Jiarong Tibetan culture, and the stunning landscapes of #Zhonglu Village, Danba remains my favorite hidden gem, drawing me back time and time again. As I reflect on these 15 years of memories, from bustling city life to serene mountain heights, I'm filled with gratitude for the adventures I've had and excitement for the many more to come in this breathtaking region. Here's to a decade and a half of exploration in Garzê, where every visit uncovers new wonders!

So after zhongli retired (i forgot how many yrs after the archon war) reader finally wakes up and gets so confused coz their lover morax is dead??

Either way reader jumps into his arms and hugs him and asks him what happened and everything so theyre reunited and happy now 🥰 and zhongli almost comung to tears coz hes so happy that readers alive 😞😞 all this time he thought they were dead T-T and they kinda live as retired gods in liyue enjoying their "mortal" life together ughhh so cute like an old married couple

OH MY GOD YES IM SCREAMING, CRYING, GIGGLING, KICKING AND ALL OF THE RESTVDHFJFJDJFJFKIFIG!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Watch me get too carried away with the angst because I love putting myself through pain.

Warnings: mild angst, fluff, Zhongli being a simp, gn!reader, not proof-read.

Characters: Zhongli.

It had been a long, grueling battle.

You had fought tirelessly next to your lover, Zhongli. Throughout the day, the entirety of the war.

He often spoke about his displeasure in you doing so but the thought of him possibly getting hurt, or worse, terrified you.

So after your complete disregard for your own safety. You finally struck down the last of the enemies as the war slowly came to an end, only to notice how badly injured you were.

Once Morax came across your broken and bloodied body, he swears it’s the closest he’s ever come to breaking.

Even after all the lives he’s had to take, the blood spilled in his name.

You were the one thing he couldn’t handle losing after this long, gruesome nightmare.

After he carried you back to the safety of your small, hidden cottage where you would both spend your time drinking tea and talking about your future together in Liyue before the war started, he tentatively cared for your wounds and watched over you every chance he could.

He obviously knew that you were immortal. he also knew that occasionally, if you were hurt or sick, you'd fall into a regenerative sleep.

So when you remained unconscious for a few weeks, he wasn't worried. After all, a few weeks in his eternity meant nothing. Though he'd be lying if he said he didn't miss you beyond words.

After weeks turned into months and months turned into years, his hope of ever seeing your soft gaze soon vanished as his time was becoming more and more occupied with rebuilding the land he once ruled over with you by his side.

When the last wall was built for the last house for the now growing population of Liyue, he had to make the decision to move on.

So with one last visit to the cottage, now hidden away even more by overgrown shrubbery, he placed what he thought would be his final kiss on your cheek along with soft begs of forgiveness and apologies, he finally mustered up the strength to walk out the worn down door one last time.

Now, many, many years later, hidden away in that same cottage now completely overgrown and reclaimed by the wilderness, you finally forced your eyelids to open and take in the almost blinding rays of sunlight streaming in from the cracks in the walls as vines hung down and gently caressed your skin.

Slowly sitting up, you took in the scene around you. This was definitely not how you remembered your home looking.

How long had you been asleep? Where was your beloved? What if he was still on the battlefield? All of these thoughts rushed through your mind as you forced your stiff bones to support your weight as you stood up faster than what you should of.

Now fully conscious, not to mention disorientated, you ran out of the small abode to scan the area for any signs of Morax only to find something that confused you even more.

Nothing. You found nothing of the chaos and bloodshed that you remembered so vividly, only the soft touch of grass beneath your feet and the cool summer breeze caressing your skin.

Turning around in a daze, you examine your once cozy and welcoming home only to find it now crumbling and overgrown with plants and wildlife

If this had been any other time you would have found the scene to be enchanting, but as the realization of how long you had been asleep slowly started to hit you, you couldn't help but feel your heart start to race with anxiety and questions.

Taking a deep breath, you gathered your thoughts as best as you could and decided to go to the closest village you remembered.

Needless to say, after walking for around 40 minutes, you were more than a little shocked to see the village now being a very large and very populated city.

"Excuse me, are you alright?"

Looking around with a confused expression you locked eye's with what appeared to be a guard of some sort.

"Y-yes um, would you mind telling me where I am?"

"Liyue harbor of course! Home of the great Geo Archon and Teyvats largest trading supply lines!"

Hearing the formal title of your seemingly lost lover you couldn't help but pry the poor soul from your confused questioning.

"Geo Archon? Morax? Would you know where I could find him? we know each other and-"

"I'm sorry, you must be new here. Morax was killed not too long ago…”

After hearing those words leave his mouth your mind suddenly went blank.

Not only had you been asleep for what seemed like centuries but now you’ve just found out that the love of your life, Your other half had not only died but was also murdered.

Not saying anything else, you took your leave and started walking aimlessly through the city streets that now felt even more foreign that what they did before.

You did your best to try and take in your new surroundings and find out just how long you had been unconscious for but the looming grief that wrecked your heart just seemed to get worse with every mention of Morax.

After spending a few hours aimlessly walking around the harbour you decided that all you needed right now was to process your thoughts.

Taking a deep breath, you say yourself down on a wall that overlooked what seemed to be the centre of a market place that was now silent of any busy citizens as the moon rose up above the horizon highlighting the buildings with a soft glow.

The only signs of life left now were a handful of fishermen packing up their boats for the night and a small tea house that overlooked the street leading ti the harbour that was occupied by two sails men that were selling fish at the dock earlier and-

You feel your heart stop in your chest as you lean forward to take in the silhouette of a tall man with posture matching that of a plank of wood and a very familiar looking rat tail.

There’s no way. It’s impossible. You just found out he died in front of all of Liyue harbour’s citizens just months earlier.

You were so convinced that it was just the grief making your mind go fuzzy that you got up and decided to walk and find a place when you heard him speak.

“Ah, yes. This tea is superb as always”

You swear you dug your heels so hard into the ground that it left a mark in the stone beneath you.

“Morax..?”

The man froze solid in place at hearing his old name come from such a familiar voice that he could of sworn it was just his ears playing tricks on him.

Hesitating for a moment, you took a step closer to him as his deep golden eyes widened at the sight of you now draped in the soft glow from the tea house.

“Y/N…? It can’t be”

Through your vision that’s now blurred with tears you could see him stand up before slowly walking down the steps towards your figure before speaking words that could barley be heard over the gentle breeze.

“It really is… Celestia it really is you!”

Without a second thought, you ran up to him and the your arms around his waist before sobbing into his chest (heh breakdown boobies)

Not saying another word he kneeled on the ground holding your shaking body in his strong arms, not even bothering to hold back the tears running down his cheeks.

“I.. I thought you were dead! Everyone told me you were killed and I-”

“As did I, my love. I thought I lost you many centuries ago and that I lost the blessing of seeing your smile once more”

You both stayed like that for a while longer as he held you close to his chest as physically possible, almost as if he feared that the second he let you go, you’d disappear again.

When you both recovered from the shock of finding each other after believing you’d lost the other one for eternity, “Morax” took you to a quiet place away from the city and explained everything that had happened since you fell asleep all those centuries ago and how he’s retired from being an archon to simply live as “Zhongli”

“I can’t believe you still remember me after all that time”

“How could I forget, love? Every second I spent without feeling your hand in mine was far worse than any tragedy I’ve bore in my lifetime”

“I suppose I’ll have to get used to calling you zhongli now, huh?”

You both let out a soft laugh while Zhongli wrapped you tightly in his embrace.

Times might be very different to what they were but you have all the time in the world to adjust, and you can rest assured that the love of your life won’t leave your side ever again for the rest of eternity.

“I love you, Morax”

“Forever and always, my dear~”

AAAAHAJDLEIDODODEDJDIR WHY DID I ALMOST CRY WRITING THIS HNGGGGGGGFGG IT’S SO BAD

My creative juices became a waterfall and then a whole ass tsunami. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t missed staying up until literally 5am to write about my boys T-T

[liviavanrouge]

Mei: Mama.

Yue: Yea dear.

Mei: Will I have a baby if me and Haoxi holds hands?

Yue: *gapes at her* Huh?

Mei: He said that if we hold hands we will have a baby!

Yue: *clutches the bowl she’s stirring batter for some sweets* Oh.

Mei: Is that how me, Yuze and Yuxuan was born? You and Papa hold hands?

Yue: Um…. Well- it’s… complicated.

Mei; Ok!

Zhonglu: This Haoxi boy is startling to tick me off.

Chasao: *Grumbles, scowling in irritation*

Takumi: Agreed.

The Bicycle Industry Is Driven By Increasing Demand For Eco-Friendly Transportation

The bicycle market has experienced steady growth in recent years. A bicycle is a pedal-driven human-powered vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. Bicycles provide a low-cost, non-motorized and eco-friendly mode of transportation. They are used for both recreational and functional purposes like commuting to workplaces and schools. The growing awareness about environmental pollution and health benefits of cycling has propelled the demand for bicycles globally. Bicycles do not emit any greenhouse gases and are a sustainable alternative to motor vehicles in areas with less traffic congestion. They provide physical exercise to users and help promote an active lifestyle.

The global bicycle market is estimated to be valued at US$ 79.78 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.2% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031.

Key Takeaways

Key players operating in the bicycle market are Giant Bicycle Inc., Samchuly Bicycle Co., Ltd., Atlas Cycles Ltd., Tandem Group plc, Derby Cycle, Merida Industry Co. Ltd., Avon Cycles Ltd., Dorel Industries Inc., Trek Bicycle Corporation, Xiaomi, Accell Group, Zhonglu Co. Ltd., and Tube Investment of India Limited. These companies are investing heavily in research & development to introduce technologically advanced, lightweight yet durable bicycles.

The growing health awareness and rising pollution levels have prompted many consumers to opt for cycling as an eco-friendly mode of daily commute. The increasing sales of electric bicycles catering to users' need for assisted pedaling further indicates strong demand growth prospects for bicycles globally.

Bicycle Market Trends are focusing on expanding their international presence. Companies are diversifying their product portfolio and customizing bicycle models according to the needs and regulations of different regional markets. The growing bicycle infrastructure including designated lanes, trails and parking spots in various cities is also encouraging global expansion of the bicycle market.

Market drivers

The increasing urbanization and traffic congestion levels in many cities have made cycling an appealing daily commuting option. The growing investments by governments worldwide towards developing dedicated bicycle tracks and lanes are aimed at promoting cycling as a sustainable transportation alternative. Moreover, rising health consciousness and fitness trends have propelled the sales of recreational and sports bicycles for exercise and leisure activities. The cost effectiveness of bicycles compared to fuel-powered vehicles is another key growth driver attracting first-time buyers.

Impact of geopolitical situations on Bicycle Market growth

The bicycle market is experiencing considerable changes due to geopolitical instabilities across various regions. Restrictions in movement and transportation during the Russia-Ukraine war has boosted the demand for bicycles for commuting purposes. Many European countries are supporting local bicycle manufacturing to reduce dependence on imports amid global supply chain disruptions. The focus on promoting non-motorized transport and making cities more environment-friendly is also driving the bicycle market growth. However, sanctions on Russian and Belarusian manufacturers are affecting global bicycle part supplies. Rising tensions between China and Taiwan and frequent lockdowns in China are hampering bicycle component exports. The market needs to diversify sourcing and expand local manufacturing to address geopolitical risks in the long run. Developing innovative, rugged and lightweight bicycles can further help tackle challenges arising from policy changes and conflicts across major trading partners.

Regions where Bicycle Market value is concentrated

The bicycle market in terms of value is highly concentrated in European countries like Germany, France, Italy and Netherlands. Advanced cycling infrastructure, stringent emission norms and focus on active mobility have resulted in Europe accounting for over 30% of the global bicycle market value. The large consumer base, high disposable incomes and promotion of cycling as a hobby and lifestyle sport continue to drive bicycle sales. Government subsidies for electric bicycles under various climate action plans are further enhancing the Europe market potential. Other regions like North America and China are also prominent bicycle markets worldwide owing to rising health consciousness, eco-friendly initiatives and mass usage for commuting needs.

Fastest growing region in the Bicycle Market

Asia Pacific region holds the maximum growth potential for the bicycle market over the forecast period. The growing middle class population, rapid urbanization, reduced transportation costs and efforts to reduce traffic congestion are fueling the demand across developing countries like India and Indonesia. Favorable government policies supporting cycling as an environment-friendly mode of transportation are boosting manufacturing activities in the region. China with its large cycling culture and investments in cycling infrastructure is the global leader in terms of bicycle production volumes. However, other emerging economies in Southeast Asia are witnessing faster y-o-y growth rates and offer new market opportunities for bicycles with innovative designs and features for different user groups. The next wave of growth for the global bicycle market is expected from Asia Pacific.

A second Chinese court has ruled that crypto lending is an activity outside the protection of the country's legal system.According to an October 10 press release by the Nanchang People's Court, in April 2021, an individual known as Mr. Ming lent a total of 80,000 Tether (USDT) to an individual known as Mr. Gang for the purpose of stablecoin trading. The loan was to be repaid within six months. However, Mr. Gang defaulted on the loan, leading Mr. Ming to sue his counterparty in the Nanchang's People Court. In its landmark decision this week, the Nanchang People's Court stated Mr. Ming was required to prove that Tether is a legally issued fiat currency to bring a necessary cause of action for judicial relief, citing a series of legislation composing China's Crypto Ban. Since Mr. Ming was unable to do so, the Nanchang People's Court ruled that the lawsuit did not fall in the appropriate scope of civil litigation. Mr. Ming subsequently appealed the decision, which was also dismissed. The presiding judge wrote:"There are legal risks involved in participating in virtual currency investment and trading activities. If any legal person, unincorporated organization, or natural person invests in virtual currencies and related derivatives that violate public order and good customs, the relevant civil legal actions will be invalid, and the resulting losses shall be borne by them."Cryptocurrencies have been banned in China since late 2021, citing environmental concerns and a lack of surveillance. In another ruling from August, the Changzhou Zhonglu People's Court invalidated a $10 million Bitcoin lending agreement, ruling that the lender had no means of judicial relief due to the borrower's default as crypto is a prohibited activity within the country. Magazine: 6 Questions for JW Verret — the blockchain professor who’s tracking the money

15 years ago, I first set foot in #China 🇨🇳❤️, embarking on an incredible journey through #Sichuan's #Garzê Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture that has captivated my heart ever since. From the vibrant streets of #Chengdu, the gateway to the west, my path led me through #Kangding, where Han and #Tibetan cultures beautifully intertwine, and onto the endless skies and nomadic life of #Tagong Grassland. I ventured to #Ganzi (Garzê), the heart of the prefecture, but it was #Danba that ultimately stole my heart. With its ancient Tibetan watchtowers, vibrant Jiarong Tibetan culture, and the stunning landscapes of #Zhonglu Village, Danba remains my favorite hidden gem, drawing me back time and time again. As I reflect on these 15 years of memories, from bustling city life to serene mountain heights, I'm filled with gratitude for the adventures I've had and excitement for the many more to come in this breathtaking region.

zhonglu voice: I don’t know this esteemed guest, I’m just a normal 27 years old man. Me and Him are not at all gods who have fought a war together.  Normal human being meeting another normal human being in this lovely night.

[Diluc stays silent as Zhonglu concentrates, wringing his hands feeling helpless]

[Diluc entered his room finding Zhongli laying on the bed. He gently nudges the sleeping man.]

Li... Li.... - @not-the-darknight

[Zhongli was resting peacefully on top of the covers, still dressed, with an open book on his chest, his hand resting underneath it. Though his head tilted towards Diluc as he was nudged, he didn't seem to wake up.]

[unspokenfandoms]

I only pray for Zhongli and his bloodthirsty child to have a good life....but why hasn't anybody answered the damn prayer yet

he was just talking about his past, like you asked him to.

when you suddenly stopped commenting on his stories, he was confused and decided to look over at you, already asleep on his chest

zhongli would whisper sweet things to your ear, how much he loves you, how well you did today and many other praises

he hugs you, careful not to wake you up as he smiles

in the end, you both fall asleep together

his head ontop of yours using it as support, his arms around your waist while yours grip onto his shirt softly

kaeya

kaeya was telling you about his day- how the hilichurls were more tough in his recent commissions, when he caught klee going fish blasting again and that he joined her incase jean finds out. so many things happened

“ah, you’re tired as well?”

he carries you over the bed and tucks you in, laying right beside you

“goodnight my love” kaeya kisses your forehead and holds your hand
