Scene change to Bar Gambit
Aaron:
Ahhhh….!!! A cold drink after a day’s hard work fucking does it!!
Syd:
We were so worried for you guys when Heiyue lost your trail!
Aaron:
Hah! We would have made out fine!
Yingli:
…
Aaron:
Hey, are you okay?
Yingli:
I just realized I haven’t visited my mother since we returned.
Aaron:
If I were you, I would ditch her already.
Yingli:
She’s still a single woman with no familial support, I worry for her.
Aaron:
Sighing. We’ll go see her tomorrow before we do our rounds.
Yingli:
Thank you for understanding, Aaron.
Syd:
Already acting like a married couple with mother in law problems!
Aaron:
Shut it, you!
The next day
Scene change to Yingli’s home
Aaron (narration):
We went to see Yingli’s mother. Her place is a fucking mess and it stinks of tobacco and alcohol.
Yingli:
Mother, I’m home!
Ran:
About time you come home! Forgot about your poor mother after your debut?
Yingli:
It’s not that. I’ve been a little busy. Here is some mira.
Ran:
Let’s just say it as it is, you rather be with the glitz and glamour instead-
Aaron:
Hey, stop giving her a hard time!
Ran:
Oh, it’s you.
Aaron:
A hello would be nice.
Ran:
So Yingli has been with you this whole time. Should have known. You’re a bad influence on her, little brat!
Yingli:
Mother, stop!!
Ran:
How many times do I have to tell you not to be friends with competition?
… Unless… You’re dumping his ass as soon as you sucked him dry? Remember to use some of the techniques I taught you! Make sure you are sleeping with someone with more status next time, like a producer or director!
Yingli:
Mother!! Aaron and I aren’t like that!!
Aaron:
You’re saying some fucked up shit to your own daughter!
Voice:
Haaah? What’s up with the noise?
Aaron (narration):
Holy shit. A dirty old man came out of Yingli’s room. What the fuck!
Ran:
It’s just my daughter!
Ohhh!! ~ You’ve seen her debut, right?
She’s going to be more famous than that no-talent Aaron Wei!!
Aaron:
I’m right here, you hag!
Ran:
Oh! Yingli dear, this is my client, hope you don’t mind letting us borrow your room? And do you mind signing an autograph for him?
Client:
You’re the Graceful Flower! Your haunting beauty is even more pronounced in person.
Yingli:
Th-thank you, sir.
Client:
How about it? I’ll take care of you and your mother?
Aaron:
Hey, creep, why don’t go perv somewhere else? Don’t make me break your teeth!
Client:
Oh? Hey! You’re Aaron Wei, aren’t you? You’re quite the looker too, women’s clothing really suits you. How about I make all of you my lovers?
Aaron:
Fuck the hell off, old man!
Yingli:
…We should let you get to work, mother.
Scene change to Eastern Quarter
Yingli:
I am so sorry you had to see all that. I just wanted to see how she was doing and drop some Mira off.
Aaron:
You have the patience of Aidios with that woman. Anyway, let’s do our sweep.
Yingli:
…
Aaron:
What’s up? Is it something I said?
Yingli:
You were the one being patient with me and my mother. You’re so understanding and considerate of my situation. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Aaron:
Don’t say silly things now. Let’s go check the board.
Yingli:
Even if you won’t admit it, you’re a very kind person, Aaron.
