About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson grapples with feelings of embarrassment after being briefly treated as a surveillance target. Despite his shame, he shifts focus back to his mission. He contacts Kelsey, who is collecting volcanic data near a rocky mountain forest, and learns that unusual behavior from source stone bugs suggests possible environmental disruption or an imminent natural disaster. Orson expresses concern for Kelsey’s safety amidst potential threats related to her data collection. Following this conversation, Orson reaches out to Hei, hoping to exchange crucial intelligence regarding Xisita. Using coded language to ensure security in their communication, he proposes the idea of a “date,” signaling an intelligence exchange. Meanwhile, Hei, caught off guard by Orson's proposition, discusses her mixed feelings about it with Xi Lan. Xi Lan encourages Hei to consider the positive qualities Orson possesses and suggests she attend the meeting. After some deliberation, Hei agrees, interpreting her attendance as a gesture of courtesy rather than romantic interest. The chapter ends with Xi Lan preparing Hei for the meeting and expressing hope for her success. Overall, the chapter explores themes of embarrassment, professional duty, and budding relationships, particularly through Orson and Hei's interactions, setting the stage for future developments.
