Chapter 32: Catching Up

Chapter 32: Catching Up ? ? ?

"Xin?"

Xin was surprised to hear a familiar voice calling out his name.

Turning around, he saw a woman with shoulder length violet hair. She had a gentle aura surrounding her. Her warm, purple eyes were a little slanted, and her fair complexion and petite figure gave her a soft and charming appearance. She had a sweet smile that could brighten anyone's day.

"Yuzuro?" Xin was surprised to find her here. What was she doing in a place like this?

Dressed in a kimono for staff, Xin almost didn't recognize her.

"It really is you." Yuzuro's face brightened. "You finally woke up?"

Xin nodded, didn't know how to face her.

Yuzuro must have sensed that it wasn't the right place to chat, so she said, "Uhm . . . It's actually the end of my shift after thirty minutes. Can we talk after that?"

When she spoke, her words were filled with empathy, making people feel comfortable in her presence.

Xin nodded. "Okay."

Xin stood in the pool, silently observing Yuzuro's figure as she walked away. He couldn't help but feel puzzled by her unexpected appearance in this unfamiliar place, so far away from their usual Area.

Yuzuro had been one of his classmates back in high school, and he couldn't help but wonder what had led her to end up in this distant location.

With Yuzuro's sudden appearance, Xin's state of relaxation was disrupted. Realizing he needed to prepare for their upcoming meeting, he made the decision to get up and ready himself.

Mixed emotions flooded Xin's mind as he contemplated the encounter. On the one hand, he felt a sense of gladness at finding a familiar face from the past, someone he could potentially reconnect with.

On the other hand, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment for seemingly being left behind while others moved forward with their lives.

Despite not being particularly close, Xin found solace in the fact that it was Yuzuro who had reentered his life. Her kind and honest nature had always made her a likable presence, someone who could effortlessly put others at ease.

After getting dressed, Xin waited patiently in the lobby, and soon enough, Yuzuro emerged wearing a hoodie and shorts, with a casual sling bag hanging over her shoulders. Her appearance, wrapped in loose clothing, gave her a cute and petite charm.

"Xin!" Yuzuro's face lit up with a warm smile as she waved at him. "Sorry, did you wait long?"

"No, not at all. I just got here," Xin replied, wanted to return her smile, but his face was stuck.

"Great! Shall we go then?" Yuzuro suggested. "I know a nearby café where we can catch up."

"By the way, what are you doing in this area?" Yuzuro asked, attempting to steer the conversation away from her own troubles.

"You could say that we are in debt right now because of me, so we don't have a choice but to move here," Xin said straightforwardly.

"Oh." Yuzuro looked worried, but then she shook her head and beamed. "I think it's enough of talking about depressive things."

Her face lit up suddenly. "You still know Rever, right?"

Rever? The image of a red-haired guy who always seemed ready for a fight, with numerous piercings in his ears, came to Xin's mind.

"He's also here," Yuzuro said. "Wait, let me call him."

Before Xin could say that it wasn't necessary since Rever and he weren't that close, Yuzuro was already on her phone, and within minutes, Rever appeared, rushing and panting.

"Whoa! It really is Xin!"
