Chapter 270: Chapter 270 - the devious system.

{beep, beep.. automated system: switched off, manual system has been activated.}

A loud announcement to his ear woke eric up. he blankly blinked up at the ceiling. ’system?’

{’yes, oh my god finally I am awake... it feels good,’ the system said in a cheerful robotic tone.

Eric froze. "system!" he shot up. "fuck you’re awake After so long?!"

{yep yep. Missed me?~}

Eric rolled his eyes. "as if..." he laid back down on the soft bed. "Wait where am i?" he gazed around at the unfamiliar room. The last he remember was passing out on the floor. He had called yuna and someone had picked him up.

’but this is not yuna’s place...’

He pulled off the blanket and walked to the door. With a cleaner mind he slowly opened the door. The hallway was slightly lit by a soft yellow light and h would hear people talking.

In the Audible conversation he could make out yuna’s voice as well.

’she is here.. then I’m safe.’ He let out a deep breath and confidently walked out. "where are we even? Yuna," he walked into the lit kitchen.

Yuna was standing with a familiar yet unfamiliar woman. He had seen her when he had gone to meet yuri. He did a double take. "huh..."

"oh eric. thank god you’re awake." Yuan threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. "I’m sorry I didn’t realise you were missing... I’m so sorry. We won’t go to places like that ever again, okay?"

"that’s okay.. but where are we?" he whispered into her ear.

"oh at yuri’s place." Yuan whispered back.

Eric nodded. ’why am I here though?’ he cast a confused look her way.

"you got drunk and called Yuri and he picked you up. Me and sha came to take you, but that yuri refused to let you go. So we decided to stay here." she sat back on the counter. "actually this is my aunt... oh.. we were talking about her missing son."

Kiyuki walked past her and hugged eric tightly. "thank you. Thank you so much for saving my son. He told me that you are teaching him some strange technique. I’m so glad. I don’t want my son to die."

Eric awkwardly stood there with her arms awkwardly hanging in air. "um... okay..."

She pulled away, wiping her tears. "come, sit here. ill make you something to eat." She gently gestured him to the dining chair.

Eric sat beside yuna obediently. In their past life Aaron did not have parents. he only had Altren, his only cousin, but in this life he had a loving mother and a caring father. ’its good that he does... he needs to be loved by all.’ He softly smiled.

Yuna pinched his arm. ’don’t you dare fall in love,’ she whispered into his ear.

Eric pouted. "I’m not in love"

"what are you kids whispering about?" Kiyuki cheerfully said gazing at them.

"nothing," yuna grinned.

"oh... now that you both are here, I wish to talk to you about something. Can you both help aunty for a second?"

Eric gazed at Yuna who shrugged. "Okay?"

Kiyuki sat opposite them nervously. "Your friend, Xiao Sha...can you tell me more about him?"

"why do you need to know about him?"

She took a deep breath. "I believe he might be my missing son."

Eric’s eyes widened ever so slightly. "w-hat now?"

"I lost my youngest son when he was ten years old. he had been missing for fifteen years. But today when I saw your friend I got that familiar feeling that he was mine.. he looks awfully lot like my husband you see.." she anxiously played with her nails. "can you tell me more about him? What is his birth place? Who his parents are? Anything?"

Eric sat up straight. ’oh my god...’

{’oh eric the tasks have been released.

Daily task: reunite the lost family, points- 50,

Target task: lovey dovey hug, task reward- 150 system coins. Bonus gift: irresistible scent,}

He didn’t even have to think about it. the system task alone was indicating that sha was, in fact, the Bai family’s lost son.

’oh my fucking god...’ he gazed at yuna. She gaped at him. "you think..."

"I ..." eric cleared his throat looking at the middle-aged lady. Hust as he was about to confess that sha was their son, he paused. ’little shadow is dead.... He is just a ghost. Can his family accept his existence.... Fuck..’

"miss.. you see i.. I don’t know his origins."

She looked crestfallen at this. "It’s okay. But is it okay if I do a background check on him? I firmly believe he is my son."

"what if he is your son?" yuna looked at her curiously.

"well if he is my son, I would be glad that he is alive."

Eric felt a pang in his chest. ’no he is not alive.... He is dead... long back. oh fuck...’

"and then I will ask him to come back to us. If he doesn’t, i am also fine with visiting him now and then. after all, I missed him so much,"

"oh..." eric patted yuna’s thigh. "I’m not sure if he is the one..."

She just smiled sadly. "even if he is not... ill just console myself by looking at his face."

Suddenly, loud footsteps came down the stairs.

Yuri rushed to the kitchen. Their eyes met.

Eric softly gulped and looked away. "thank you for helping me.. but I think we shall go back to our house now." He stood up.

But a pair of warm hands fell on his shoulders, pushing him down on the seat. "I am not done with you."

Eric froze. "what do you mean? Our class is tomorrow in the evening. I can’t waste time like this.."

yuri sat opposite him. "who is Aaron?"

"huh?" eric’s softly gasped. ’how does he know his name....’

"who is Aaron? is it that guy you work with in that pastry shop? That tall pale one?"

"I’m telling you, I’m called sha." Little shadow came down the taxi with a tired look on his face. "eric let’s just go home. This guy is fucking nuts."

Yuri glared back at him, releasing a hint of his yang energy without even realising it.

"stop that!" eric held his hand, sending a big douse of cold yin energy into his body. Yuri’s yang energy was super strong. It can instantly kill any ghost. If he attacks sha directly, he would easily disappear.

Yuri gazed at their connected hands. "his name is not Aaron? Then who is Aaron?"

"no one." Eric pulled his hands back. the subtle hint of warmth was still stuck to his palm. "we are leaving," he pulled yuan up.

Yuri pouted slightly, gazing up at him. "eric... won’t you answer me? Why do you like that guy? Is he handsomer than me? Richer than me? I am much more than him, I’m sure of it."

Eric was flabbergasted at how this conversation even started. "you don’t even know him!"

"I know that I’m the better choice. So choose me! Love me!"
