Reunion (1)

"What?!" Taiga stared at Li Yang unsure if she heard correctly. 

"Luo Ju Di, are you alright?" Li Yang asked. He didn't know how else to approach the woman. He may have been able to be more inquisitive if he was the one who saved her and carried her in his arms, but now that it was all over, he kept a polite distance.

"I'm okay… perhaps a tad shaken up." Luo Ju Di answered and looked at her own hands. They weren't exactly shaking, but it may have been because she was still frozen up in shock. "All in all, I'm fine. Chunhua—she's safe isn't she?" 

"Yes, she is." Li Yang assured the woman with a firm nod. 

Luo Ju Di looked up to him and briefly smiled. "Thank you."

"You don't need to thank me—it's my responsibility." Li Yang said. "That's the least that I could do for Chunhua." 

It didn't seem like she was aware of how long Li Yang was actually gone.

"Still…" Luo Ju Di sighed but nodded. "I'll just take your word for it then."
