The atmosphere between the two began to grow increasingly difficult to describe.
The mist in Jiang Wenyu's eyes thickened, and the charm on her face became harder to conceal. Eventually, in her unease, she pressed her lips together lightly.
Seeing this, Tao Zhe swallowed hard, suddenly grasping Jiang Wenyu's arms tightly, as if unable to hold back any longer. He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.
Jiang Wenyu felt flustered and closed her eyes in confusion.
As she sensed the gentle touch on her eyelids, her entire face flushed crimson in an instant. She dared not breathe or open her eyes.
"Are you trying to embarrass yourself to death?"
After a moment, hearing Tao Yiran's teasing laughter, Jiang Wenyu slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she did, she found Tao Yiran very close to her, a gentle smile gracing his face.
Jiang Wenyu felt a mix of embarrassment and anger. "You're making fun of me."
Tao Yiran quickly waved his hands. "I wouldn't dare."
Seeing Tao Yiran's nonchalant expression only fueled Jiang Wenyu's irritation. She felt deflated but suddenly remembered something. "I accidentally broke quite a few things in your family's shop while carrying out my task today. I'll compensate you for it later."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yiran smiled indulgently and raised an eyebrow. "No need to compensate."
Jiang Wenyu lowered her head, relieved. She hadn't intended to mention that it was her who had caused the damage. However, since they were partners and he had helped her numerous times, she felt a bit reluctant to hide it from him.
If this kind of thing happened more often, her little savings would surely be insufficient to cover the costs. Fortunately, Tao Yiran was generous and didn't seem to care about it.
Noticing that Jiang Wenyu was still lost in thought with her head down, Tao Yiran added another remark.
"Mrs. Tao doesn't need to compensate."
Jiang Wenyu suddenly looked up, staring at the very close Tao Yiran, still in a daze. "Mrs. Tao?"
Tao Yiran pinched her cheek, finding her so silly. "Yes, Mrs. Tao. Do you want to act?"
After a long pause, Jiang Wenyu quietly asked Tao Yiran, "Can I?"
Hearing this almost inaudible whisper, Tao Yiran lifted her head and gazed affectionately at Jiang Wenyu in her arms, looking at her earnestly.
Jiang Wenyu's fair skin flushed with a pink hue, her doe-like eyes glistening with tears that seemed like unfallen autumn waters. Her slightly furrowed brows resembled distant mountains, and her delicate lips...
"Of course you can." This time, Tao Yiran leaned in closer.
Soon, the Tao Residence held the wedding banquet. Just as Yan Qing had seen back then, on November 14, 1938, everything was exactly as Tao Zhe had described.
However, Yan Qing felt that something was off.
"Yan Qing, what's wrong? You've seen so much already. It seems Tao Zhe wasn't lying; we just need to capture this Ability User and hand them over to headquarters to complete the mission. What are you hesitating for?"
Yanhua was puzzled. The four of them had been watching for quite a while now; it should be settled by now.
Cai Dai, feeling a bit restless beside Yanhua, spoke up. "Don't be too hasty; I just feel like something is not right."
After saying that, she nudged the box standing nearby with her elbow.
The box frowned tightly. "It is indeed a bit strange."
Yanhua tilted her small head in confusion. "I don't see anything wrong here. Isn't it all quite normal?"
The Box shook its head. "This is very abnormal. Generally speaking, dreams only cycle through the most profound memories of their host, but this dream began with the meeting of these two people. Every scene we see is one of Jiang Wenyu and Tao Yiran together, while everything that happens when Jiang Wenyu is alone seems fleeting, as if there's an intention to obscure something."
The Box turned to the others. "Don't you find this strange?"
Yan Qing nodded in agreement. "Everything indeed feels eerie, as if Jiang Wenyu's life consists solely of memories with Tao Yiran."
Yanhua hid behind the Rockery, watching Jiang Wenyu not far away, and suddenly began to understand.
So it's a love-struck mind.
Cai Dai suddenly thought of something and hurriedly spoke up. "Do you think Jiang Wenyu's memories might have been tampered with?"
Yan Qing replied, "That possibility can't be ruled out. We shouldn't worry too much; tampered memories usually have a chance of being restored, given the right opportunity."
Leaning against the wall, the Box interjected softly, "Before we even consider finding that opportunity, it's likely that Jiang Wenyu himself doesn't even realize his memories have been altered. How are we supposed to find that opportunity?"
Silence fell over them once more.
The four of them hid behind the crowd, using pillars and the Rockery as cover to shield themselves. They whispered together, planning how to shatter this stolen fragment of a dream.
Suddenly, Yan Qing looked up and spotted something familiar on a red lantern.
