I'm so happy, I got my favorite game to work on my pc :D
My favorite game is Zoo Tycoon 2, obviously.

(I had to copy the game files over from a different PC as I lost disc 2&3 and couldn't download the game... so if you're in the same boat.. Just comment here.. Yoho arg or something..)

Oh also just wanna mention this, Y/n & Xie Lian's relationship in this is purely a familial relationship, Xie Lian sees Y/n as almost a daughter-like figure while Y/n's already signed the papers legally adopting Xie Lian as your "mother" in your mind.

Warnings for this chapter : mentions of violence from previous arc, dead people, Pei Ming, and of course, cursing
PLUS : Heavy Spoilers!!

You awoke that next morning, head aching. You turn to look at where Xie Lian still slept, Hua Cheng was gone. ' He left already.. Huh.. '

Xie Lian wakes up not long after you do, turning to look at the empty spot beside him. "Did San Lang already leave?"

"Seems like it.." Is your response.

Xie Lian seemingly notices something, reaching down to lift a small ring to his face, it was held onto his neck with a small chain.

"What's this?"

You move to sit beside him, "His ashes..." You mutter.

"Huh?"

"Wow~! So pretty!" You gasp, gently touching the small shimmering silver ring. "San Lang gave you this? It looks like it'd cost a fortune!!"

"Why give it to me though..?"

"Well I mean... in other cultures, people exchange rings as a symbol of their marriage" You shrug.

Xie Lian chuckles, "I doubt that's the reason he gave me this, Y/n"

"Hey, You never know~"

"I'd think we'd know if Crimson Rain was trying to marry me" Xie Lian sighs. "Besides, why would he?"

"I can think of plenty of reasons to marry you... also wasn't he your groom?"

Xie Lian blushes, "He wasn't!!"

"That's what they all sa-"Ms Y/n"
