i love how you made him look so innocent here 😭 i started tearing up when zhongli patted him

[@megane98]

hehe thank you! UwU

[@caparashon]

I'm not crying, I got something in my eyes 😭 No but yeah, I teared up irl. God I love this so much, this animation was so good and so emotional. I love Xiao and he deserves the world

[@megane98]

thank you so much!! QwQ

[@ivan_biw419]

[@megane98]

XIAO AND CHONGYUN they're so cute and the whole animation is so soft I'm crying 😭😭😭

[@megane98]

awww thank you!! QwQ

[@DreamingAngel99]

so beautiful 🥹 I can't put into words how amazing it is. That scene with Zhongli patting Xiao's head is so incredibly smoothly animated wtf?? and everyone looks so adorable and fun, like they're all having such a good time.. so pretty 🥺

[@megane98]

awww QwQ thank you so much!!

We all know that the anemo boys have been the one who always save us. From Wanderer saving us from that huge robot, Kazuha blocking Raiden’s Musou no Hitotachi, Venti protecting us from La Signora and still some more but Xiao is the only anemo boy who saved us more than once. First being the iconic scene during the battle on the Jade Chamber and the second one when we were escaping the Chasm. Though probably a lot have realized this I just wanted to point it out.😅 Happy belated birthday, to the best character in Genshin.
- A Xiao Main.

This is everything i could have asked for for Xiao. He's got such wonderful friends and family, both battle-forged and found. To see him so content and joyful, especially on Lantern Rite, along with the well-wishes from everyone in Liyue... gah, it's so magical and wonderful and amazing. Wonderful and amazing job. Truly.

I know that i am 1 year late and stuff but i gotta say... THIS IS SO GOOD AND SO UNDERRATED WTH😩💗✨
Honestly, its so heartwarming how xiao has grown so much from when we first met him and look at him now! Xiao is slowly realizing his worth and what he wants and also realizing that he doesnt need to be alone, everyone will always be there for him! Iam truly SO proud of him! Sorry I just love him a lot for a reason hehe🤭💚✨
