Semua Bab A Tale Between S and W: Not your usual giddy love story: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 22 "We are tied by our interaction strings again. Let us communicate with each other in a calmer and more diplomatic manner, okay? From now on, we can now use this body to talk and act in what we want, take turns some time, as long as it is with the prescribed conduct. Please use your common sense. You are already a young adult and can differentiate what is right from wrong." "Well, whatever floats your boat, Master Unknown." Master Qiu smiled at Tanashiri, and Tanashiri, in return, glared at him. Then, they both felt a familiar feeling-a feeling felt by every human; a threatening storm. Tanashiri is used to feeling this when he was in his own body. He is feeling this, every time, because he is a glutton. He wants to eat, every time and anytime. He loves food and will eat and buy what he wants. Because, well, he is filthy rich. He is fond of different cuisines. But his palate loves Asian cuisine the most. He loves stir-

Chapter 24 Master Qiu and his servants are sprinting towards their home in Shanghai-a bustling place filled with the usual structures a commerce center has. Schools, houses, hospitals, factories. Tanashiri is just beginning to marvel at what is around him. "I never thought that I would see Shanghai with my two eyes in the 1930s. This looks more picturesque than what I saw in school textbooks!" Master Qui's energy preserved and only allotted for use for one day is beginning to be drained. It is like, he is carrying Tanashiri's body in his back. He is filthy, and Master Qiu's beautiful and expensive changshan dress is soiled with his own dirt. The people around him stare at him like he is an exotic animal worthy of display in an animal museum. They are laughing, pointing their fingers at him, and covering their noses with their spare handkerchiefs. "Master Qiu, that traditional dress is brought from a faraway town. You really did

Chapter 26 The venue of the meeting with the British businessmen is made in one of the most expensive places in Shanghai, at the heart of the city. It was agreed upon by locals and foreigners that the place is one of the finest views in Shanghai that is overlooking the view of the deep blue sea and busy port down the road. The restaurant is the structure that replaced the former temple where the people gather and pray during special occasions, especially birthdays and new years, and almost made up for the destruction of the charming holy place a few years before. It looked like a mix of Western-style that is sort of made for convenience and Oriental enigmatic marveled because of simplicity, oozing with enigmatic aura around the red-bricked structure. Other structures beside it look like oversized glass outhouses, not suited with the theme of the place beside it. Master Qiu braced himself as he entered the restaurant, walking through a narrow corridor

Chapter 28 This is such a beautiful mirror, exquisitely made.  "Where did this mirror come from? Master Qiu asked Li Jhie. "It came from the rural areas, made by the workers. Pretty, isn't it? Decorated with precious stones and gold, made with raw hands. What a sight to behold, a thing to cherish and take care of." Master Qiu nodded in agreement and did not utter a single word. Tanashiri felt a little bored when he realized that he did not see a work of art made like this when he was conscious. He bought different kinds of jewelry as a gift for the wives and mistresses of the stockholders, to be taken as a bribe to be at his side and make them leave his father. He hadn't done enough diplomacy and business deals like any usual businessman will do in the past, only bribery, from the start. But those tricks always worked, especially if the pieces of jewelry came from a world-renowned jeweler. The women of the stockholders can coax their hus

Chapter 30 "Let us go, Li Jhie. I need to do something. Quick!" Li Jhie and the servants looked and talked to each other and agreed that the other servant will pull the rickshaw. "You are now really impulsive Master, aren't you? In the past, you don't always bother us when you have something in your mind, and now, you do." "People change, Li Jhie. In the past, I do not care what I have on my mind, as I won't say it. But now, I decided that I should change for the better. I should not bottle up my emotions, as it will bother me eventually, in the future." "And it won't make sense if I will be meek, as I have someone clever and noisy with me. It is as if he hypnotizes me into doing something I should not do. And, being silent and meek about certain things will make my plans fail, and my time here is running out. I should do my best to make things right. I should make difference when I came back here. Being myself as I am in the past will make my tri
