Yunlan stared at Wei who lay sprawled across the bed to reach him when he heard him cry out in pain and smiled through his tears.
"How much do you remember?" he asked Wei
"I know who I am, where I work, where I would like to live, and who I want to share my life with, but there are still some blanks that I don't understand yet. The dreams don't frighten me anymore, I think my mind is trying to tell me something. And I really remember the snake stew, but I don't know how we managed to get out of the fire to here."
Yunlan knew that Wei still did not know about his other life as Black Robe, and hoped that his mind would help trigger a safe memory in his sleep. Da Qing brought the breakfast tray over and suggested that they eat now and wash later, after the wheelchairs had arrived, which would make it easier for them to move around. They both agreed and sat up straighter to enjoy the food between them, and Gelan left them alone knowing that they would not try and walk anywhere. Chu felt confident leaving them in Gelan's care and he headed for the office.
Da Qing went to the library to see what had been so urgent in Yunlan's mind that made him forget about his injuries, and headed for the first floor to see the portraits. He was stunned to see himself in almost all of them, beside Black Robe, Yunlan and Shen Wei. Then he had a look for the book that Yunlan had been reading but couldn't find it, realising that if it was bedtime reading, it would be in his room somewhere. So he had a last glance around the library before he closed the doors, it was beautiful, and he left quietly.
When Chu arrived at the office, he knew that he would have a lot of explaining to do to the team, and had to establish a routine for surveillance of the coffee shop where Yunlan was abducted. Lin Jing was busy looking into the background of the owners and couldn't fine a link between them and the bomb earlier in the week but there must be a connection somewhere. Two attempts and an armed burglary in the same week and he discussed it with Chu who agreed that they needed outside protection at Yunlan's house and he knew who to ask, explaining to Lin Jing that it was an unusual private firm and he would deal with it. He didn't know how to explain their sudden return to the mansion and left out the details of their injuries, therefore the team assumed that they were lucky to make their own way back, and were now in hiding at the mansion.
At home in Yunlan's house, Da Qing's fur was standing on end and he wasn't sure why, so he spoke to Gelan who was cooking, learning her way around the kitchen.
"Gelan do you feel alright, because my fur doesn't?"
"Apart from not knowing where things are kept, I feel fine, but your senses are slightly sharperthan mine, go for a walk kitty."
Da Qing smiled, she hadn't called him that for years and he transformed to slip out the kitchen window following his instincts.
Someone had arrived at the front door, a delivery, hopefully the wheelchairs is what Gelan was thinking but the whip had other ides and positioned itself to hang within easy reach of her hand before she opened the door.
