Shortly after Taiga's words, a doctor ca out to talk with Li Yang about Luo Ju Di's dical condition. The woman would be staying in the hospital and undergo so physical therapy to get her back on her feet.
Taiga was a little embarrassed to have been caught snuggling with Li Yang, but soon decided to forget all about it as Li Yang went back inside of the room. Chunhua had woken up and was now hugging her mother tightly while Luo Ju Di brushed her hair.
It was one of those monts that made Taiga wish she still had her family—no matter how faintly she could rember them.
"Uncle Yang, you really brought Mama back!" Chunhua looked back at him with awe. She went down from her mother's bed and threw herself at him. "You really did it."
Li Yang picked the child up and cleared his throat. "I suppose?"
"Or it may have been a coincidence," Luo Ju Di said with a shrug.. Sohow that answer told sothing about how she may or may not have rembered what happened, but it didn't matter to him that much now. As long as she didn't do much to argue with her child's assessnt.
Right after Li Yang placed Chunhua down, the young child quickly hugged Taiga next. "Big sis Taiga! You're here too—I thought everyone left. It's good to see you again."
Taiga blinked, but also hugged the younger girl back. "Taiga can work with that title too."
It almost felt like everything was fine and settled. Perhaps Li Yang could have sat back and relaxed at this mont, even though everything was far from truly okay, he had done much already since his return.
However, no sooner than he looked around and thought that things were alright… he soon received a screen hovering in front of him. It was a ssage, not from the Observers, but by soone who he almost didn't expect at all.
[ Narissa sent you a ssage. ]
On top of that was a notification: The System can now easily send ssages and have conversation through real ti as long as it is within the encompassing world.
Li Yang blinked.
He didn't really know what to expect from the rmaid who agreed to take on so part of his 'curse' for him because she wanted to help… he realized that he hadn't been able to reply the last ti.
Her ssage went along like this.
Narissa: We should et up—at least to understand what actually happened to you for the last months.
You Have Received Directions To A Location
Narissa: Wear a mask, or anything to hide your face. I don't want to get caught or anything
There was this ssage and the ongoing main mission that put Li Yang in the right state of mind. He glanced at the ti and while it was just around eight o'clock at night, he thought it was fair for a eting.
She deserved to know at least that much.
"So Yang—" Luo Ju Di began.
"I need to go sowhere." Li Yang said at the sa ti. The two of them blinked at one another, before he cleared his throat. "What were you going to say?"
Luo Ju Di shook her head. "No, forget about it. Chunhua can stay over here tonight, can't she?"
"Of course, I'll send my brother a text so he doesn't worry," Li Yang said. While he wasn't sure if the man changed his number—his socials were actually easy to find. There was no problems with this, even if he didn't have his own car yet.
"Where are you going, Uncle Yang?" Chunhua said as she broke away from Taiga's crushing hug.
"Chunhua…"
"It's a small and private eting with a friend—an associate of mine. Not exactly linked to Olympian Corp, but we have an agreent." Li Yang didn't really like lying and this was the best way he could say it… without revealing that he was talking with an idol.
"They must have been pissed if you weren't able to et with them after so ti," Luo Ju Di said. While she didn't know when exactly Li Yang disappeared, the conversation earlier—she caught a bit of Liang's convo with him.
"Yes, so I'll be going and will co back to pick up Chunhua tomorrow or.... My brother."
Delegation of tasks, even if he didn't like to ask for help—not knowing the circumstances of what tomorrow offered him required people that could help take over his tasks—he needed to take it.
After a brief goodbye, Li Yang and Taiga left the hospital and went out together. Taiga didn't quite ask many questions—and if she did have them, she kept them to herself. She trusted that Bossman would just tell it to her.
Though far from the contrary, he've yet to tell the entire truth of his situation to anyone.
Whether it was Bai Minghua or Narissa herself to even Setsuko... Nobody really got the full picture from him. Perhaps Narissa now knew more thanks to her own System as a part of his harem—but he was never too sure.
Li Yang wondered how Taiga might react to it.
"Let's go, Bossman." Taiga grabbed his hand and then jumped up onto the roof of the hospital. "Taiga doesn't know where we're going so you have to show us the way."
He felt the world around them change as the nightlife of Shanghai went dead silent—the shadow version of the city ca to life.
He took in the directions from the screen and searched it in his phone's GPS.
"We're going to visit this… bar?" Li Yang frowned slightly at the chosen place.
Out of all of the places for them to et, it was a little strange that she picked sothing that might have been filled with people.
Taiga glanced at the directions on his phone. "Oh, you have a party friend?"
"No, not exactly. But she may have wanted to relax." Li Yang said.
"It's a she? How did you know that she wanted to relax?" Taiga looked up at him in surprise.
Taiga didn't know Narissa, only Ying Yue He did, so he wasn't sure how to explain it.
