ZhongVen

ZhongVen is the slash ship between Zhongli and Venti from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
They have not yet been seen interacting. However, it is made clear in both of their stories and voicelines that they are familiar with each other. They are the last remaining members of the original Seven Archons, not including the kagemusha Raiden Ei.

Character Story Profile
In Venti's Story, Where The Wind Doth Not Blow, Zhongli was mentioned. He doesn't play a role in Venti's character stories, but it was said that Venti often tried to play pranks on him.

In Zhongli's Story 5 Venti is mentioned. When Barbatos first came to Liyue, the Anemo Archon tossed a wine bottle at Morax and said "Here's some wine from Mondstadt. Care for a taste?" Morax thought to forsake one's duty to deliver a single bottle of wine was preposterous. Venti continued to visit afterwards to explore Liyue Harbor.

Voicelines
In Venti's Voiceline about Zhongli, Venti asks the Traveler if they had seen that gentleman Zhongli around. He seems surprised to learn that he is living as a human now. Venti calls him an old block-head and tells the Traveler to come with him to see him. Venti asks the Traveler if Zhongli still seemed strong when the Traveler saw him. Venti wonders if Zhongli is strong enough that he is likely to get blown away if he visits him.

In Zhongli's voice line about Venti, Zhongli is able to tell that Venti has passed through the area because it reeks of wine. Zhongli says that Venti is a drunkard and a disgrace to the arts.

Unlike in the English voice lines, the Chinese voice lines imply that Zhongli spent six hours trying to find Venti, and then beat him up for making the Traveler drunk. Zhongli then came back to brew tea for the Traveler.

Quote
"Tsk... It reeks of wine. That bard has just been through here, hasn't he ? That drunkard is a disgrace to the arts. Oh... Has he tricked you into getting drunk ? You're slurring a little. Wait a moment, I'll brew a pot of sobering tea. It'll be ready in only six hours, so just wait a moment."

- Zhongli's Voiceline about Venti

"Have you seen that gentleman around? Huh? He's just a normal man by the name of Zhongli now? That must be quite the change for that old block-head. Come with me to see him, will you? I have a vintage I dug up from Windrise that I can take as a condolence gift. Oh, ahh... did he still seem strong when you saw him? How strong? Am I likely to get blown away?"

Fanon
As both of them were the 1st and 2nd archons, ZhongVen then became a semi-popular ship after Zhongli was found to be Morax. ZhongVen mostly portraits a love-hate relationship in most fan arts and comic dubs, or usually, they are sometimes portrayed as an old married couple. There are about 400 fanfictions about the pair of these two in AO3. Apparently more popular in the Chinese fandom.
