Chapter 19 - Volume 1 Chapter 19: Family

In Aaron's home

Li Yuen: Oh man, this tea is amazing.

Valentine: I appreciate your compliment, Miss Li Yuen.

Li Yuen: Please, just call me Li Yuen.

Valentine: Oh, ok. Li Yuen.

Li Yuen & Valentine having fun chatting together

Aaron: So...why do you joining the raid?

Li Xian: .....

Li Xian: To find a foe.

Aaron: Foe?

Li Xian: We're searching for an answer from this "foe".

Aaron: Is he or she dangerous?

Li Xian: She. And she's had an answer for our mentor's disappearance.

Aaron: ....

Aaron: Heh, shit. Looks like we got the exact objective.

Li Xian: ?

Li Xian: And how so?

Aaron: Well, my parents...they left me.

Li Xian: .....

Li Xian: Do you resent them?

Aaron: ....

Aaron: It's complicated.

Li Xian: Then they're abusive people?

Aaron: No. They're a good people. Honorable one. They both love me unconditionally. And...my mom nurturing me the most.

Li Xian: .....

Li Xian: I guess we had fucked up childhood, huh?

Aaron: Heh, yeah.

Aaron: (Raising his glass to Li Xian) Cheers?

Li Xian: .....

Li Xian: (Raising her glass to Aaron's glass) Cheers.

And the glass cling & they both drink their tea.

Mina: .....

A few seconds later

Li Yuen: Oh and I want to ask? Is it ok-

Valentine: About Aaron & Mina join the raid?

Li Yuen then surprised by her quick discovery

Li Yuen: I presume you did your homework then?

Valentine: Well, I just glad that you're here. To make sure both of them are safe.

Valentine: Can I entrust you, Li Yuen?

Li Yuen: ...

Li Yuen: I promised.

Valentine: Thank you. Both of you.

Li Xian: (Nodded quietly)

Valentine: Now, rest. All of you. I have prepared extra mattresses.

Aaron: We had extra mattresses?

Valentine: After Mina's introduction, I can't just let them sleep outside, silly.

Valentine pats Aaron's head & goes to the store to pick up the mattresses.

Aaron: Hey, I'll help you.

Valentine from the distance: Oh, ok!

As Aaron goes to the store with Valentine

Li Yuen: They're good people, ain't it lil Xian?

Li Xian: It's rare to have these people. I will credit them for that.

Li Yuen: So...Mina. Can I ask about you a bit?

Mina:...hm? (Was about to drink tea)

Li Yuen: What do you think about Aaron?

As Mina heard that, Mina literally spits hard the tea at the table, nearly dirt the twin's clothes

Li Xian: Wha-!?

Li Yuen: Ah...oh my...are you okay?

Mina: I....I....I....(Blushed red in her face)

Li Yuen: "Gasp!" She's love him.

Li Xian: Oh for fuck sake. Really? I thought that you're his sister.

Mina: I...I...

Li Yuen: Li Xian.

Li Xian: (sighed) sorry.

Li Yuen: It's ok, Mina. Your love is your own, ok?

Mina: (Sheepishly nodded)
