About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Kelsey is initially focused on her romantic intent to kiss Orson but is interrupted by Xi Lan, a pink-haired girl who is the daughter of the mayor of the Xi Sta city-state. Xi Lan asks if she can join Kelsey and Orson at their booth, revealing her lively personality, contrasted with Kelsey's more composed demeanor. As they talk, Kelsey realizes her attraction to Orson has become normalized, causing her to feel flustered when asked about him. Xi Lan offers to brew tea, and while she is enthusiastic, Kelsey isn’t particularly impressed by her tea-making skills. Orson wakes up after knocking his head against the window and joins the conversation, unintentionally creating an awkward dynamic as he attempts to maintain a facade of being Kelsey’s colleague rather than just traveling with her. Their conversation shifts to tea brewing, and while Orson impresses Xi Lan with his knowledge, Kelsey feels increasingly frustrated at Orson's apparent flirting. As the chapter progresses, the dynamics between the three characters grow complicated, particularly with Kelsey feeling left out and irritated by Orson's interactions with Xi Lan. Before they part ways, a mysterious black-haired woman approaches them, which prompts Xi Lan to excuse herself. The chapter ends with Xi Lan excitedly discussing Orson with her companion, Hei, although Hei remains unimpressed.
