I'm gonna be honest, even if I've played this game since a few months before Sumeru got released, this will be my first ever time at Lantern Rite, since I never had the time for events prior to last summer (now I do events actively.
I legit don't know which characters I can pick to spend time with, though if we assume it's only from Liyue, I would like to say either Yelan or Baizhu, though preferably I wanna spend my time with everybody. 
For the story, I would go for the storytelling-way and tell others about the adventures I've had.
