Chongyun x Popsicle

Chongyun x Popsicle is the cargo ship between Chongyun and a popsicle from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
There are lots of official arts containing Chongyun eating a popsicle. This also goes the same to his idle animation. Popsicles are very important to him as he said, he needed them for when he encounters an evil spirit said on his Hangout Event.

Hangout Event
In Chongyun's Hangout Event Act 1: Signs of Evil, the Traveler and Chongyun see a kid peeking on the both of them. They decided to check the kid to see if he is alright. The kid named "Dalong", said that he saw Chongyun eating a popsicle and it looked tasty. Chongyun tells the Traveler that the popsicles are very important to him. Since he needs them if they encounter an evil spirit.

The Traveler then answers that he should probably give them both of his popsicles. Chongyun gives Dalong both of his popsicles for his sister as well. Dalong then thanked him, and Chongyun then wonders how he'll manage without any popsicles. Chongyun answered the Traveler saying that he gets his popsicle at Wamin Restaurant so the Traveler then goes with him to make the popsicles. Chongyun asked the Traveler to get the ingredients to make the popsicles.

If the Traveler tells him to try the Mist Flower and Qingxin, he will then taste the popsicle and thank the Traveler for it. If the Traveler tells him to try Sunsettia and Valberries, he will also then taste the popsicle. But, he will then say "It tastes fruity and sweet... It's delicious!". At last, the Traveler can tell Chongyun to try Jueyun Chili and Slime Condensate. As he tastes the popsicle after making it, he will tell that it's spicy as his throat is on fire. Making the Traveler get a different ending.

Quotes
"Usually, I can manage by simply eating a popsicle... but that's only under normal circumstances..."

- Chongyun during his hangout event

Fanon
Since Chongyun is often seen with a pale blue popsicle, people noticed how it matched his color scheme and started incorporating that in various fan-made creations. The nickname "ice boy" and "popsicle boy" were often given to Chongyun with the latter being the more popular name. Cargoships are very popular in the Genshin fandom, and Chongyun x Popsicle is no exception. It has been overshadowed by, and shipped alongside with, Xingyun, which is Chongyun's most popular ship. In some of Chongyun's art with Xingqiu, official or fan-made, Chongyun can still be seen eating a popsicle or just ice cream in general.

Chongyun x Popsicle is mostly regarded as a popular crack ship in the Genshin Impact fandom, and there aren't many fan works depicting it due to people not actually shipping it seriously.
