[ Admittedly - Zhongli did have a point. Few people were that shameless right off the bat. If the other man had shown any signs that he might have wanted it after having endeared himself to Childe like he had, Childe might have just bought it for him without prompting. It was a small price to pay to get a chance to look at his backside.

As content as he is to simply laugh away Zhongli's offer and continue on his merry way, the last thing he says makes him pause. Childe is terribly, terribly fond of this pretty man who he's known for less than a day. He can't deny there is a magnetism, a draw that compels him to want to ruin him several times over, and then several times after that. It's not something that can be excused by the notion of him not getting laid the entire time he was in Liyue, because he's felt lust and he knows his body well enough not to be consumed by it.

His lashes dip, framing thoughtful blue eyes. His thumbs brush along the jut of Zhongli's hip as he considers. ]

I don't think so. [ He eventually manages, with the barest intimation of a smile. ] You're... something else, you know. I feel like I can't get enough of you.

[ Case in point - the mess that's probably still leaking out of Zhongli and making a mess of the covers. Childe will pay it no mind, his lips pressing against the other's navel before he makes his way down. Warm puffs of breath herald his arrival at the other's cock, his gaze lifting up coyly, warmly before he speaks again. ]

Though... I can't imagine your brother will be very pleased with the outcome. Especially since I tried to kill him and all.
