"Oh...I remember now, I called Jia Yu to pick me up but she wasn't picking her call so...I called you," he ran his hand through his hair.
"I am really sorry," he realized the situation they are in was his fault but inside he wasn't feeling at all apologetic, he and Yu Yan spent the night cuddling each other to sleep...how can he regret it and she even left him (Chen Kai) because he called her.
"Well then I will take my leave," she stood up from the bed to leave.
"Are sure you want to go in that state..." she turned to him.
"Well...you don't look really good, why don't you freshen up and eat breakfast with me, you can have a change of cloth...oh don't misunderstand me, I just don't want others to notice you are wearing the same thing as yesterday and you...you reek of alcohol because of me," he squinted his eyes, he wasn't sure if he was saying the right thing but he hoped she would not refuse him.
She lowered her head to sniff herself...she raised her gaze to glare at him, she really reeked of alcohol and it is all his fault.
"If you want something to change in then you can find it in the closet in the guest bedroom you stayed in last time,". she looked at him quizzically with a questioning look.
"I just thought it would be good to have some female clothing at home in case of situations...like this," he quickly explained.
{Why does it sound like he bought them for me...or am I thinking too much}
"Alright," she left the room.
He exhaled deeply, he couldn't believe that they actually spent the night together in each other's arms, he covered his face and giggled in excitement, his deep dimples showing just how happy he actually is, he quickly stood up and walked to the mirror, he scrunched his face looking at his messy face.
"Did I actually look like this?...what a mess," he shook his head at the messy image in front of the mirror, he ruffled his hair and entered the bathroom to freshen up.
As soon as she got to the guestroom after going down to the second floor, she quickly rushed to the mirror in the bathroom, she ran her hand through her hair and pushed it up, she couldn't believe he actually saw her in such a messy state.

She freaked out for a while then she pretended not to care, she checked the drawer for an extra toothbrush or a kit but she was surprised to see that the entire drawer is filled with women toiletries, she started wondering if he has a girlfriend or there is a woman that comes to stay in the mansion...somewhere she felt a tinge of jealousy even though she isn't aware of it.
After she took her bath, she entered the walk-in closet, she gasped seeing the clothes, jewellery, bags and on the dressing table, different makeup accessories were placed, including many brands of perfumes.
"Does he really have a girlfriend?" she wondered
After going through the closets, she picked the one that caught her eyes, a V neck irregular blouse and a pencil bodycon black skirt, she chooses a simple chain earring with it, for a reason she isn't aware of, she felt comfortable in his house.
She took them to the bedroom but once she got thee she was met with a shocking scene...everything except the room painting had mickey mouse designs like they were made for her and come to think of it, most of the clothing in the closet is black, the shoes are mostly boots...is all these perhaps for her, isn't is too much of a coincidence for her to dismiss.
After dressing up, she decided she was going to ask him about it, Han Chen was already seated at the dining waiting for her under the quizzical look of his nanny who was standing beside him the whole time to question him but the both of them stopped when they heard the sound of heels descending the stairs.
They raised their gazes but they couldn't take their eyes off her, she looked really beautiful, Han Chen looked like he was going to start salivating and he couldn't take his eyes off her, his eyes followed her until she got to the table and even after she took her seat...the nanny nudged him to make him take his eyes off her as the young lady had already started looking uncomfortable.
"Huh..sorry," he said as he regained his senses, she smiled faintly with a nod in response.
"I suppose you don't need a hangover soup, young lady," the nanny remarked as she placed a bowl of soup in front of him, he frowned at the sight of the soup.

"I have told you, I won't have it," he protested, they had been arguing about that before Yu Yan arrived, she landed him a hit on his back and clicked her tongue.
"Still whining like a child, drink up," he was surprised that she was still treating him like a child but Yu Yan suddenly burst into a real of laughter.
"What is so funny?" he questioned with a wronged expression on his face, she waved her hands to apologise for laughing but she still couldn't stop.
"I am sorry, it is just too funny,"
"Grandma, this is all your fault," he complained but he still finished up the bowl of soup, she smiled warmly seeing him drink it up.
"Since I have watched you drink it, I will take my leave now and leave you two," with that, she left the dining room, they bowed their head slightly to bid her goodbye.
"Why...?" they smiled awkwardly seeing that they spoke at the same time.
"You go first," he entreated.
"Do you have a girlfriend...no...I mean any woman that comes to visit you, from what Jia Yu said, you don't seem to have anyone like that?"
"No, why do you ask?" he knew why she was asking but he still wanted to know maybe there is a secondary reason for her question...like jealousy.
"If you don't then why is the closet and the room decorated like it is meant for a woman...I don't mean to intrude into your privacy," she lowered her voice, "it is just that everything in that room from the closet to the room decoration is according to my preference, so..."
"So, you were thinking I made it that way for you, am I right?"
"Well..not exactly but maybe," she felt shy to ask him.
"You are not entirely wrong," his answer had a sentimental tone to it that she couldn't miss, she lifted her gaze in surprise.
"Huh,"
"The last time you came here, you reminded me of a friend I used to have when I was in high school, she is the only female who has stayed in my house except for my family members," he paused with a reminiscing smile on his face, from the looks on his face she could see that he is about to tell her something about his past.
"She was a very precious friend to me, she used to come over secretly back then and she likes black clothing, her favourite shoe type are boots and she loves anything with mickey mouse illustrations on it," he raised his gaze and met her questioning gaze.
"She is also very beautiful, intelligent and cheerful, she never lets go of something once she is determined to get it...many things about the both of your character are the same so I decided to buy those things in remembrance of her," he ended his statement and picked up his cutlery to cut the pancake.
"Where is she now?". He stopped hearing her question.
"I don't know, we got separated a long time ago when we were still teenagers but I am sure she is still alive and well and maybe....with the dream job she has always wanted," he watched the curiosity in her eyes grow, he wanted her to connect the dots, he wanted her to remember him and from now on, he will continue doing this.
He doesn't plan to depend on their past to make her fall in love with him again but he wanted her to want to get close to him even if it is just to find out what she is missing then that way he will get the chance to get closer to her.
"Her dream Job..."
"Oh...she always told me she wanted to become a surgeon because of someone but I forgot who that is," he pretended like he is trying to remember something.
"Her mom..."
"I think that is it but I am not sure," he started cutting into the layers of pancake on his plate but he stopped when he heard her knife drop with a pale look on her face.
"What is wrong?" he asked, he didn't expect her to react in that way or he wouldn't have told her all those.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.
