"Take care on your journey."

As Zhen Hu was getting dressed and about to leave, a gentle and rich fragrance wafted from behind him. He quickly turned aside to avoid the other person's sudden attempt to give him a tender hug.

"Okay, okay."

Zhen Hu turned his head, coughed lightly guiltily, calmly took the lunchbox from the other person's hand, and avoided eye contact.

The other party is an NPC. Even though she is his wife, he can't possibly lay a hand on an NPC, right?

He can't.

That's not allowed.

Who knew that these past few days, with the company suddenly not requiring overtime, Zhen Hu's heart was like a rollercoaster when he faced Mona's mother, Lillian, after returning home at a set time each day.

Zhen Hu: Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!

Despite Zhen Hu's obvious comparison, the other person remained smiling gently, seemingly unaware of the awkwardness of being avoided in the hug. He slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, but then suddenly placed it on the other's tie, saying, "Your tie is a little crooked..."

As she spoke, her soft, slender fingers inadvertently touched his Adam's apple...

Zhen Hu:! ! !

"Oh, I'm tidying up!"

After being touched by the other person's soft fingertips, Zhen Hu felt as if he had been electrocuted, and took two steps back towards the door in his leather shoes.

Holding a lunchbox in one hand and tugging at his tie with the other, he looked embarrassed and helpless. He pretended to glance at his non-existent watch and said, "Oh dear, it's almost time. I have to go to work now. You don't need to wait for me tonight. I might have to work overtime. You should eat and go to sleep first."

After saying that, he rushed out of the house in a panic.

He simply couldn't resist her gentleness.

For some reason, the gentler the other person was, the more gentle and harmless they seemed, the more tense Zhen Hu's whole body became, and a voice in his mind kept shouting "Run, run, run!"

He felt suffocated whenever he faced Lillian every day.

As he thought about it, Lillian's figure inadvertently overlapped with that of another person...

"No, no, no, damn it!"

As soon as Julian stepped outside, he saw Zhen Hu standing there "going crazy," shaking his head and then suddenly slapping himself in the face.

What kind of operation is this?

Could it be that he's also becoming somewhat delirious?

"Why are you standing here?" Julian called out, and Zhen Hu snapped out of his daze, turned to look at him, and then suddenly shook his head even more violently.

"nothing."

"Oh, aren't you going to work yet?"

Seeing that he wouldn't speak, Julian simply shook his watch, reminding the other person to leave quickly.

"You'll have to drive today, it's my car... I used that car to transport the body when Hu Yue made her move..."

"sure."

Zhen Hu readily agreed, and the two of them got into Zhen Hu's car together. As soon as he got in, he saw a doll lying in the back seat of Zhen Hu's car, which was exactly the same as the one Mona had been holding when she came to deliver cookies that night.

"That doll..."

Julian looked into the car, and Zhen Hu followed suit, saying, "Ah, it must have been left in the car yesterday when I took Mona back to school, right? What happened?"

"It's nothing..." cascoo.net

Julian had a bad feeling about the doll, so much so that he didn't dare to say certain things directly in the car.

Staring at that doll always reminded him of the strange way Mona turned her head that day.

hiss--

This thing can't be recalled.

However, the doll's presence was so strong that Julian, sitting in the passenger seat of Zhen Hu's car, constantly felt like someone was staring intently at his back...

"Hmm? Is it Mingmei?"

As soon as the two arrived at the company, before their car even entered the underground parking lot, they saw Mingmei riding a small electric scooter at the entrance of the small park outside the building. They could see her clearly as they drove past.

Mingmei had waited for them on purpose.

According to Gui Gui's calculations, Ming Mei and the law enforcement officers came here specifically to wait for someone after finishing their breakfast.

"Um?"

Whether it was Mingmei's imagination or not, she felt as if she had just been stared at by another gaze besides Julian and Zhen Hu.

That was a gaze full of malice...

"Why are you here? Is something wrong?" Because of Mingmei's appearance, Zhen Hu decided to park the car in the park's parking lot. Julian got out of the car first and found Mingmei.

“I need to speak with Zhen Hu. You… can listen in too.”

Mingmei glanced at Julian, who was aware of what Hu Yue had said.

It wouldn't hurt to let him hear it.

"I discovered something interesting when I went out yesterday."

When Mingmei saw Zhen Hu arrive, the three of them found another place to chat.

"My wife?"

When Mingmei inquired about Lena, Zhen Hu was caught off guard.

Julian listened thoughtfully, recalling that Hu Yue had also said that her ability to notice the incongruity was also related to Lena.

"Yes, the newspaper reported on the Chengdong Middle School incident a while ago. Bai Xiao and the others' ID cards have a deceased daughter who used to live there, so I spent a few moments going there to inquire. It seems... Mona used to live there."

"Huh? (That's really true.)"

Julian and Zhen Hu gave completely different answers, and they even looked at each other with surprise.

"How come I remember living here with my wife and children all this time?"

“Hu Yue told me that your wife said you’ve only been here for less than a year.” Julian said, then heard Zhen Hu’s words and looked surprised, saying, “So your memories are the same as ours!”

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're saying." Zhen Hu's mind was a bit muddled by their words. "Isn't it normal for everyone to have the same memory? It's not right for someone like Nanami Anemone to have the same memory, is it?"
