Oh, no, I— [ for once he stumbles in finding his words, unsure what to say about being shy. He is not shy, he's quite sure, but now that Chiilde has said the word...!
Zhongli feels silly, but he can't help the slight elation at Childe's affectionate touch: everything about him feels warm and safe and sincere. He shouldn't feel this way around anyone, and yet... (the difference is harsher than night and day in how he behaves with Rex Lapis to Zhongli — it's perhaps almost impossible to do anything but fall for him.)
As for how this looks, well, Zhongli hasn't thought of it, but the look Childe gives him along with his words seems enough to make Zhongli aware of the suggestive nature — and overall he doesn't mind in the least desire seeming a bit shy from the flush to his cheeks. Eyes quite soft and doe-like, he glances towards the bed before back at Childe again. Rex Lapis did leave the assassin unsatisfied, so Zhongli will make sure to pick up the slack.
With a small smile, he sits at the edge of the bed to remove his shoes before tugging the other down next to do the same if he hasn't begun already.
As soon as Childe finishes, Zhongli will move to catch his lips with his own, but not before responding to the assassin finally. ] I'm so very cold, already. Please, warm me up.
