His promises are like contracts and he will do his everything to fullfill them. He has a talk with WonPil to make sure he is alright, then he takes them all back to the apartment where he intends to finish to prepare the meal he promised WooPil.
''I'll be in the kitchen, I'll cook dinner. Are you hungry? Do you have any food preferences?'' He asks, but still intending to cook that pasta with tomato sauce.

He didn't forget Chan's birthday, he feels terrible for forcing him to come on Earth. He didn't want to return to him empty handed, he tried to find a special gift for him, something able to tell him how much he appreciates and loves him. It is a difficult choice and only when he finally makes it, he heads back to the apartment. Just that it is already late night when he does.

He leaves his gift on the table together with a letter:
| Dear Chan, it has been difficult for you in the last period, I'm sorry I was unable to give you more support. I want you to know how special and important you are for me, I couldn't wish for a better son. You are responsable, caring, always ready to step up for your family.
I'll be always ready to lend you my help in any situation as well.
No matter what the future brings, let's always stay together as a family. We'll fight whatever stands on our way. |
The gift is mostly snacks he knows Chan likes, plus a particular precious stone he created for Chan, black with dark red shades.

He heard what happened to him and as soon as Jing Yuan brings him home, he goes to pay him a visit, making sure to bring some delicious snacks too, to help his mood.
He enters the residence, looking for the boy. ''WeiQi?'' The servants followed him and quickly prepare the snacks on the table before to leave the residence. He can't connect anything with XiFan yet, he thinks it was someone else from Guiji to cause him harm.

Zhongli returns home after visiting the brothel, finding his gift. He cannot help but smile at the sight of the written apology, clearly written by WooPil. He is not sure what it might be about, he thinks he accidentally broke something or such, nothing really bad.
It is already late, but he decides to try and see if WooPil is already asleep. Otherwise, he'll stay with him for the night. He heads to his residence without alerting the servants, just doing everything quietly.

He looks into the matter but he cannot find anything out about a Meng family, LiHao keeps lying, no matter what he asks. He can tell he is not being honest, as he starts contradicting himself on a few points.
He decides to let him be for now and continue with his own researches on the matter. He didn't expect someone to burst inside the brothel that same evening, calling for a certain LiHao. When it happens, Li tries his all to get away from Zhongli and those two people, even managing to leave the brothel from a window, even if it is dark, rainy and he is barely wearing anything.
He approaches those people. ''What brings you here? Who is this LiHao?''
''He is our son! He ran away from home a year ago, he is only 16! We heard he could be here. Give him back to us!'' The father says aggressively.
''Take the matter to the guards, if you lost him. Why cause this fuss? I'm certain he cannot be here, they would never hide a 16 years old.''
They continue to try to argue, but Zhongli remains calm and diplomatic, until they finally leave.
