ZhongLumi is the het ship between Zhongli and Lumine from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Archon Quest
Lumine first meets Zhongli at Liuli Pavilion in Liyue's Chapter in Act 2. Zhongli asks Lumine to help him for the Rite of Parting, Lumine and Zhongli went to get a Notilucous Jade, buy Silk Flowers and get the perfume. Lumine went to the Statue of the Seven where Zhongli said so. Zhongli thanked Lumine and tells her to offer the Statue of the Seven.

Zhongli now tells Lumine to help me borrow the Cleansing Bell, after Lumine gave Zhongli the Cleansing Bell, the both of them went off to buy kites. Lumine and Zhongli now went to Bubu Pharmacy to purchase the Everlasting Incense. After finishing all of those stuffs, Zhongli treats Lumine a meal after she helped him so the both of them went to Third-Round Knockout, Lumine sat beside Zhongli.

The both of them listened to the story, after the story Ganyu appeared inviting Lumine to the Jade Chamber, after Ganyu left, Zhongli tells Lumine to meet him again at Dihua Marsh.

In Act 3 of Liyue's Chapter, after Lumine went to the Jade Chamber, Lumine went to Dihua Marsh to see Zhongli again as Zhongli said so. Zhongli wanted Lumine to sing for the glaze lilies so Zhongli asks Lumine to sing for the glaze lilies. When Lumine sang, the glaze lilies became Whopperflowers. So Lumine defeated the Whopperflowers. At the end of Liyue's Chapter, Lumine then met Zhongli again at Northland Bank just to see that Zhongli was the Geo Archon, Morax.

Act 1
In Zhongli's Story Quest, Lumine then meets Zhongli at the Pearl Gallery. Wanyan asks Zhongli if Lumine and Paimon are his friends, Zhongli says yes and tells that both Lumine and Paimon are quite a knowledgeable and talented pair, also and a pleasure to be around. When Kliment invited Zhongli with Wanyan, Zhongli asked if he could invite Lumine as well, while Kliment disagreed on this, Zhongli tells him that Lumine has a treasure-finding talent surpassed by no-one, it will surely be of great help for them.

When Kliment asks him what talent, Zhongli says that when Lumine espies a treasure chest, she will absolutely find a way to open it. When they went to Guyun Stone Forest, Zhongli says that he will go with Lumine. So Lumine used her elemental sight to search relics around. They then came across Hydro Mimic monsters so Lumine defeated them. They both found a mysterious stone tablet only so they went back to Wanyan and Kliment just to see them arguing. All of them now went to Sal Terrae after their argue. They went to the second contraption, Lumine followed Zhongli's instructions and lighted the monuments up. They then went to site of the broken seal and went inside. You could also get to try out Zhongli when you actually go inside of the Domain. After Lumine and Zhongli went out of the broken seal, the both of them went to Guyun Stone Forest again. A cutscene starts and Lumine was giving Zhongli the Salt Chalice and the Salt Ruler and Zhongli threw them to the ocean.

Act 2
Lumine meets Zhongli again at Third-Round Knockout, Zhongli thought Lumine was there for a few tales. Paimon denied it as they have a commission to do so Lumine had to ask Zhongli since he understands geology and ore. Zhongli agreed upon saying that it will be his pleasure to accompany her.

Birthday Mail
On December 31st 2020, Zhongli gives Lumine his specialty dish, which happens to be a Slow-Cooked Bamboo Shoot Soup. Along with the soup he also gives her the Philosophies of Gold. "This is the final day of the year. Thinking back upon the years past at this time never fails to make me sigh. Mortal lives are like fish swimming amidst the rapids, or like vegetation growing beneath boulders. They are weak yet strong, transient yet timeless... truly inscrutable. This year has been one of many more changes than usual. Of these variables, meeting you was the most memorable. How will someone as unique as yourself spend days of birth? I am well-apprised of the more common practices, but I am curious as to your method of celebration. I am still getting used to a simple life such as this. It is a shame, but idle days do not seem to pass more easily than hectic ones. Would you happen to have a day free? I would like to take a stroll. With your companionship, perhaps even familiar sights may yet appear new once more."
