<i>Trying to make a name for himself, when he can't even accept help from someone so highly certified to operate within this digsite. How childish.<br/>
<br/>
"</i>You know, the more I learn about Yi Long, the less I like him. The world needs more people like you Xiao Yu, someone who wants to make a difference in the world, a positive change. Not people who try to make themselves look good by extorting others, and who knows, maybe he's the one with the box. You said he self funded? That costs a lot of money, and magical artifacts from the Ming Dynasty would definitely catch a pretty penny. I might look into his bank account and filed records of sale for the dig."<br/><br/>He realized she was still a little pink from realizing he paid for their meal, and it made him smile, it was a good tone on her. It really brought out her eyes.<br/><br/>"You know, dove, you could always buy next time. Besides, if we are going to be working together, I'm sure we'll be able to go on plenty of dinner dates. As my mom likes to say, 'A'ohe hana nui ke alu 'ia.' No task is too big when done together."<br/><br/>At that moment, he realized he should have made sure he was working together with Yi Long to find a local hotel, something he'd been planning on doing before he got distracted by Xiao Yu and the dinner date.<br/><br/>"Is there any good local hotels nearby? I'd hate having to go to far to get to work," he laughed, shocked at him not thinking ahead. "I was supposed to set up a different kind of date with Yi Long, to get a room, but between you and these noodles, I am not sure I'll have the time to do it today."
