... Still nothing.


This is the seventh time I've walked by the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour today during my deliveries and still I haven't seen any activity coming from that building.

I've tried to make it not look like I was actively looking at this particular establishment, but whenever I passed by I would take a couple quick glances, hoping to spot Hu Tao

I've tried to make it not look like I was actively looking at this particular establishment, but whenever I passed by I would take a couple quick glances, hoping to spot Hu Tao. Maybe I'd spot her just leaving, ready to head out and do whatever the Director of such a business would do... what does she do?

... eh, I don't really need to know anything more than where she is to give her this gift and then hopefully we'll both stay a respectful distance from each other and nobody will have to end up falling into the sea anymore!


???: "Oh, it's Y/N, over here!"

Y/N: "Hm? Oh! Hey... it's uh... Xiangling, right?"

Xiangling: "That's right! Xiangling, Head Chef at the Wanmin Restaurant!"

Xiangling: "You've been walking by a lot today, are you lost?"

Y/N: "Lost? Uh- no, I'm doing the deliveries for Bubu Pharmacy and there was a bit of a backlog so I've been back and forth a lot today."

Xiangling: "Bubu Pharmacy really does deliveries? I heard some of our customers talking about it, but then they also said they never received their orders!"

Y/N: "Well... when I said there was a bit of a backlog, I'm pretty sure its just that none of the deliveries had ever been delivered!"

Xiangling: "Oh! I suppose they just didn't have the staff to handle it until you showed up, speaking of you: do you remember anything yet?"

Y/N: "No... nothing. But I think I've come to terms with it."

Xiangling: "Ah! Already?"

Y/N: "Yeah... I guess because if I can't remember what I've lost then I can't miss it right? And considering my first encounter I can remember was running for my life from Hilichurls, I'm kind of... happy? Yeah, happy with where I am now - working at the Pharmacy alongside Qiqi."
