Those hours seemed like a flight to Xiao Zhan. As he woke up, he heard a girl's voice. "Definitely Ruo Yi." He muttered, getting out of the bed.

Yuma still remembers Xiao Zhan's story and is intrigued. She greets him with a warm smile and says, "Good morning, Xiao Zhan! How did you sleep? I hope you had a restful night."

"Better than I ever had." Xiao Zhan puts the pillow that he was hugging back into place. "I would've continued if not for Ruo Yi being so loud."

Yuma laughs in understanding and says, "Ah, yes, I can see how having Ruo Yi around can be quite distracting. But I'm glad you were able to rest! I'm sure you'll need it for the adventures ahead!"

Xiao Zhan gives a nod, but before he could continue, Ruo Yi bursts into the room. "YUMA, STOP INTERACTING WITH THIS GUY."

Yuma's expression changes and she turns to Ruo Yi with a scolding voice. "Ruo Yi, please remember to be respectful. I remind you that Xiao Zhan is our guest, and we should be treating him with kindness."

Ruo Yi scoffs. "Guest? The one you and Yibo forced me to allow into our house? A guest who looks like he came out of a movie? Um, I don't want this 'guest' to be interfering in my and Yibo's life."

Yuma's expression softens and she says, "Ruo Yi, Xiao Zhan is more than just a guest. He's a friend. And I promise that he won't interfere in your and Yibo's life. He is here because he needs help and I want to do whatever I can to make sure he gets it."

"What friend?" Xiao Zhan could see the frustration on Ruo Yi's face as she continued to speak. "A guy who wants a place to stay for free? I'm asking Yibo to chase him out." She humphs and turns around to leave.

Yuma quickly follows after her and places her hand on Ruo Yi's shoulder. "Please, Ruo Yi, don't be angry. Just stay a bit and talk with us. I'm sure you'll see that he's a nice guy who just needs our help." She gives Ruo Yi a sincere smile and waits for her response.

Ruo Yi's eyes lock with Yuma's, listening to her voice. For a few moments, time stopped. Ruo Yi quickly shook out of the moment. "Ugh! Fine, I'll try to hear his story, but if it is one about what we heard yesterday, I'm not listening to him."

Yuma nods and smiles in agreement. She had expected this kind of reaction from Ruo Yi. "That's the least we could do for our friend. Thank you for understanding Ruo Yi," she says warmly.

Ruo Yi sighs and places herself on the chair in the room. "What weird story do you have for us, Xiao Zhan?" She asked with a sarcastic tone.

Yuma grins, glad to see that Ruo Yi is still willing to listen. "Oh, a lot has happened since the last time we talked." She says excitedly. "And it's all really exciting! Xiao Zhan, why don't you start by telling us what's been happening since the last time we spoke?"

Xiao Zhan sighed, resting his hands on his lap. "I know you won't believe me. But Ruo Yi, I really don't know where I am. I really think I'm not meant to be in this world."

Yuma smirks and raises her eyebrows. "Oh really? Well, if you don't know where you are, that means you have an adventure ahead of you! I'm excited to hear it." She grins and gestures for Xiao Zhan to continue.

But Ruo Yi was not as enthusiastic as Yuma. "You know where you are? You're intruding mine and my boyfriend, Yibo's house! Get out! And what do you mean your not meant to be in this world? You're speaking nonsense Xiao Zhan!"

Yuma holds up a hand in a calming gesture. "Woah, Ruo Yi, let's give him a chance to explain. I think the two of us can help him figure this out." She gives Xiao Zhan a reassuring smile. "I know it's been a while since we talked, but I'm sure there's something we can do to help."

Before Xiao Zhan could open his mouth to talk, the guy known as Yibo entered the room, seeing the three people in the bedroom.

Yuma gives Yibo a warm smile. "Hi! You must be Yibo, right? We were just talking about this mystery Xiao Zhan here has—he doesn't know where he is or why he's here. We were hoping to help him figure it out. Do you have any ideas?"

Yibo sighed, before speaking. "Yuma, you're getting too attached to this guy, didn't I tell you to do the dishes? You're getting paid to do them." Yibo ordered.

Yuma's expression immediately turns to annoyance. "Hey! Just because I'm helping him doesn't mean I'm not doing my job. If you have issues with that, maybe you should be the one helping him instead," she says, her voice slightly raised. She sighs and tries to remain calm. "Anyway, do you have any ideas on how we can help him out? I'm able to help."

"It's not that I don't want to help him, it's just that I don't have any plates to put the bread on, there's one short." Yibo explains, before turning to Xiao Zhan.

Yuma rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. "Well, okay. But can you think of anyway to help him? We don't have to do it right now, but it would be nice to at least give him a lead on what's going on." Yuma gives Xiao Zhan a kind smile. "Don't worry, we'll figure it out. We just need a few more

Despite what Yuma said, Ruo Yi had pointed something out. "Wait, I thought we had 3 plates, what do you mean one short? Don't tell me you're going to give breakfast to this Wei Wuxian cosplay?"

Yuma gives Ruo Yi a stern look. "First of all, stop calling him a cosplay. Second of all, what does it matter if I'm giving him breakfast? He's a guest here, so he should be treated as such." She turns to Xiao Zhan and smiles reassuringly. "It's okay, Xiao Zhan. We'll figure out a way to make sure

Xiao Zhan returned the smile, before speaking, ignoring Ruo Yi's outburst. "Master Yibo, I have come from some place different, and this place seems unfamiliar to me. You can call me Xiao Zhan, but in another world, I am called 'Wei Wuxian'. Please tell me where I am?" He put his hands together and bowed slightly, which was unusual for the other three.

Yuma smiles warmly and nods. "It's alright, Xiao Zhan. You're in a place called Okihara. It's a small fishing village, but it's very nice here. We can help you figure out what happened and how to get back to your world." She pauses for a moment, before continuing. "In the meantime, why don't you settle in?"

Xiao Zhan smiled at Yuma, appreciating her introduction. However, Ruo Yi and Yibo were puzzled. "Master? Why did you call me Master Yibo? I'm no master..." Yibo explained.

Yuma chuckled lightly and replied, "I'm sure you're not a master, Yibo. But when you hear Xiao Zhan's story, you'll understand why he gave you that kind of respect." She then gestured for Xiao Zhan to continue his story. "It might take a while, but if you tell us your story, I'm sure we can figure out a way to make him understand."

Xiao Zhan smiled again. "Thanks Yuma, you're correct. Where I'm from, we give a form of respect to everyone someone comes across, especially anyone who seems like a cultivator." Puzzled faces replaced Yibo and Ruo Yi's.

"Cultivator? What cultivator? I'm telling you, this Wei Wuxian cosplay is going overboard!" Ruo Yi exclaimed

Yuma gave Ruo Yi an indignant look before turning back to Xiao Zhan and giving him a nod of assurance. "Don't worry, Xiao Zhan. I'm sure Yibo will be more than happy to have you stay here with us and help us understand what you mean by being a 'Cultivator'." Yuma then gave Yibo a meaningful look before adding.

"He probably has an explanation."

Yuma smiled, nodding her head in agreement. "Yes, I'm sure he does. And I'm sure that if he takes the time to explain it to us, we'll have a better understanding of your story and the world you come from. What do you think, Yibo? Are you up for giving us an explanation?"

Yibo nodded. "Xiao Zhan can explain when we come to eat breakfast. " He gestured to everyone to leave the room. "Yuma, please wash one plate for Xiao Zhan?"

"Sure," Yuma said with a smile. "I'll set one plate aside for him. I'm sure he must be hungry after his travels." She then eyed Yibo and added, "But let's not forget to get our own food too!"

Ruo Yi humphed, before following everyone's action to sit at the table, as Yuma washed a plate.

"Of course," Yuma said, setting the plate aside. "But let's not forget to eat too, I'm sure Xiao Zhan would appreciate that. Shall we all sit down and then hear what he has to say?" She gestured towards the table, giving everyone an inviting look.

Yibo nods, before serving the grilled cheeses to everyone. As he sits down, he sees the wonder in Xiao Zhan's eyes.

"Woah~ What's this? It looks so good!" Xiao Zhan exclaimed, ignoring Yuma's question.

Yuma laughed, her eyes twinkling. "Glad you like it, Xiao Zhan. We worked hard to make it perfect, so let's dig in!" She then looked around the table as she served the food to everyone. "But before that, we still need to hear what you have to say."

"I-I've seen nothing like this before! I swear, we never had this in the other world." He spoke in awe, before snapping back. "Uh- sorry, I'll explain now." He scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment.

Yuma laughed, giving Xiao Zhan an understanding smile. "It's okay, don't worry about it. We're all curious about the other world too. Please, explain away!" She then started to dig into her own plate, eagerly awaiting his story.

"Okay, basically, in the other world, I'm a famous cultivator known as the 'Yiling Patriarch.' " He explains, ignoring the obvious eye roll from Ruo Yi.

Yuma smiled, looking genuinely impressed. "Wow! That's amazing! What have you been able to learn about your cultivation practices over there?" She was genuinely curious to learn more about the other world.

"I was famous for being able to fight against the evil practices I did, and help the world with it." Xiao Zhan explains, restraining himself to not overexplain it. "I use a flute." He brings his hands up, imitating that he was playing a flute.

Yuma's eyes widened with amazement. "That's incredible! I mean, it's impressive enough to be a cultivator, let alone one that can fight evil with a flute" She exclaimed in awe, an impressed look on her face. "What kind of music do you play?"

"I usually play 'Resentment', which helps me get rid of the evil spirits." Xiao Zhan explains, before Ruo Yi interrupts. "Yuma? Are you actually listening to his nonsense?"

Yuma turns to Ruo Yi and shakes her head, "Yes Ruo Yi, I am! It's actually really interesting. I'm glad to see that Xiao Zhan is a skilled cultivator and I'd love to learn more about what he does." She turns back to Xiao Zhan and smiles warmly. "So, what kind of music do you usually play? I'd love to hear it!"

Xiao Zhan continued. "I also play pieces with my flute to repel evil spirits away." He picked up the grilled cheese with his hands, and took a bite of it, savouring the taste of the cheese and the toasted bread.

Yuma smiled as she watched him eat and nodded her head. "That sounds amazing! I didn't know you could do that with a flute. Do you have any other tricks or techniques you use?" Yuma asked curiously, a smile still on her face. "I hope you enjoyed your breakfast!"

"Yeah, someone I knew was really good with their sword, but they-" Xiao Zhan suddenly stopped, looking down. "Yeah, I shouldn't talk about them."

Yuma nodded and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. "It's okay," she said softly. "It's understandable that you don't want to talk about it. We can talk about something else instead." She gave him a gentle smile and waited for him to continue.

"This cultivational thing, it's all fictional. You can't really fight off evil spirits with a flute." Ruo Yi scoffed, taking a bite of her sandwich.

Yuma lightly chuckled and shook her head. "You never know," she said, her voice filled with humor. "But I think it's amazing what Xiao Zhan can do. And it's definitely a good skill to have." She smiled at him and said, "Is there any other way you use your cultivation techniques? I'm definitely curious to know more."

Xiao Zhan pressed his lips together, before taking a bite of the sandwich. "I'd rather not talk about it now..."

Yuma nodded in understanding and let out a small sigh. "I understand, you don't need to talk about it if you don't want to," she said gently. "It's okay, we don't have to talk about it now, or ever if you don't want to. Let's just enjoy this moment." She smiled at him, her voice filled with kindness and understanding.

"Aww, are you afraid?" Ruo Yi mocked. "I thought you were a famous cultivator?" She spoke, voice full of venom.

Yuma's expression softened at the sight and she waved her hands in a placating manner. "No need to be afraid," she said, her voice kind. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I'm sure it's a very serious matter, so don't worry. Let's just enjoy this moment together, okay?"

"Hey, honey, that's not nice, if he doesn't want to talk about something, he doesn't have to." Yibo gave Ruo Yi a slight scolding, before turning back to Xiao Zhan. "Eat up." He said in a kind tone.

"Yes, of course," Yuma said with a gentle smile, nodding in agreement. "You don't have to talk about it, that's alright. Let's just enjoy the moment and sing together, or talk about our shared love of reading or creative writing." She offered with a friendly grin.

"Fine." Ruo Yi humphed. "I'll try to believe any fictional thing this guy says."

Yuma couldn't help but giggle at Ruo Yi's comment and shook her head. "It's okay, we understand," she said, still with a smile on her face. "I'm sure we can have a nice, fun conversation without getting too serious. Maybe we can talk about our shared love of reading or creative writing, or that new K-pop song I heard the other day."

"K-pop?" Xiao Zhan asked. "What's that? I haven't heard of it before, is it a new cultivational technique?"

Yuma laughed out loud. "No, no, not a cultivation technique," she said, shaking her head. "K-pop is a type of music. It originated in South Korea and has become popular all over the world." She smiled, her eyes brightening at the thought of her favorite songs. "It has a really great rhythm and melody, it's really catchy. I'm sure you'd like it!"
