The Wandering Soul

She nodded slowly, looking around. And then she stopped. Funny…Liang Xu had never mentioned anything about being a prefect before. And that confusion showed up in the form of scrunched brows. “I…don’t believe I’ve met the prefect in this area. If I have his name, I may know him that way…? I know several people fitting that physical description, sadly.” Obviously, she couldn’t turn and give the possible-prefect a pointed look, but she could drag out his misery while she did some information gathering. Knowing him, he probably got into trouble again…

The older man didn’t seem to mind Lang Su’s request. Apart from that, he seemed kind of feel bad he wasn’t being specific and making her confused. “His name is Liang Xu,” he answered.

This time, in full, she was struck by the similarities of the two. It wasn’t too presumptuous to assume they were brothers…was it? “Well…I…”

She gave him a shy smile and a short bow of the head in apology. “There seems to be no shortage of delinquent-appearing officers. Could you tell me more about this…delinquent person?”

“His height is around this tall…” The older man said as he raised his right hand, referring Liang Xu’s height with it. It was not an accurate measurement but it he pointed the height right, as if he met this officer quite enough. “…has a brown hair and brown eyes…”

Su was even less convinced. As he lurched forward for a hug, she stepped to the side to escape his arms. One more step and she would be out of the room. “No. Master Liang Xu, I think it’s best if you sit down for a while. This is no way to hold a conversation between old friends.”

Fortune still sided with the lady, Liang Xu growled in annoyance for a moment before he threw his ass back at the chair behind him. “Alright, alright! Geez… You’re not fun at all…” he raised his tone, definitely annoyed with her. After that, a strange silence treatment was given to her. It was unlike him to not say a word at all consider how talkative he was recently. “Hey, Su… Do you know where–” he didn’t even finish his word before he quickly bowed to the floor, vomiting.

Seeing the lady was not convinced by his ‘friendly’ hug, Liang Xu became annoyed. Fortunately, he wasn’t angry, yet… He was just pouting in his reddened face, making him more like a childish person than a strong adult.

“Duh… Come on, Su! What about the hug?! Give me some first!” he ranted, didn’t care about the lady’s annoyance towards his alcoholic smell.

I didn’t send it in but you know…they could be woodland creatures…
