Kuai Liang really loved his wife. He truly tried to be the best husband in the world for Harumi, but sometimes the arguments they had over decision-making within the Shirai Ryu clan made him lose his composure.

In those moments, all he wanted was to be alone, to avoid making the situation worse or saying something stupid that he might regret later.

It was during one of these arguments that the pyromancer left the Shirai Ryu grounds and went to cool off at a nearby bar, where there were drinks, jazz music, and strippers — though he swore to himself that it wasn’t because of the latter, he just wanted to relax after the argument with his wife.

Calmly sipping his drink and sighing, the Chinese man noticed you out of the corner of his eye — one of the strippers at the bar, dancing nearby. You exchanged a few glances before you moved closer, gently caressing his tattooed arm and offering a private service.

He smiled a little, placing a large tip in your clothes before looking at you.

"I'm not interested, darling. You are very pretty, but... I'm a married man. I'm just here to clear my head a little." Kuai Liang explained softly, with a serious tone in his voice. He glanced back at his drink again. You were tempting, but all he wanted was to relax and maybe vent to someone.

"It's been a tough night..." He spoke to himself but enough for you to hear too.
