Xu Yanwu said to Mei, "Kiana should have already realized who you were. Did she ever stop treating you as Mei?"
After saying that, Xu Yanwu did not continue.
"Take your time and think about it... Oh, right, the dormitory area has been wrecked like that, so you'll be moving into Yae Shrine too."
Xu Yanwu spread his hands. "Kiana and the others are still waiting for you to cook for them, you know?"
