Lin Yue grabbed his wrist and pressed the seed from the "Heart-beating Tooth decay" vine into his palm. "Then try this first—it has the flavor of the time you pretended to look at the stars, but were actually looking at my profile." The seed instantly sprouted, blossoming into a small, "seeing through" flower in his palm. Dewdrops rolling on the petals reflected the reddening of his ears. He suddenly grasped her hand and ran with her toward the starry sky covered in the "Emotional Star Clothes," leaving behind a trail of rainbow footprints woven from tension and joy.
The Answer Tree now bore twin fruits, one inscribed with "You are mine," the other with "I am yours." Lin Yue plucked one and discovered that, when joined, they formed a complete symbol for "we." The moment she bit into it, memories of all those parallel universes flooded back: back-to-back encounters on a pirate ship, a poet's cryptic poem, the tacit silence on a stranger's bench. All of them melted into a single flavor on her tongue—like the warmth of a fireplace on a winter night, the clearness of a spring stream, a companionship that never needed to be spoken, yet always present.
The black cat squatted on the branch of the "Confession Tree" and used its claws to fiddle with the halo of the "Us" symbol: "Meow~ That's good now, the dog food stock at the transfer station is running out." As it flicked its tail, an aurora composed of "red ear tips", "skipped heartbeats" and "pretending to be calm" rose on the edge of the "Emotional Continent". Deep in the aurora, a new "Double Taste Buds Constellation" was condensing. The two stars in the constellation, one is a sword that is always unsheathed for the other, and the other is the wind that stays for the other.
Lao Zhang's pocket watch showed the scale of "This Moment is Eternity", and the inside of the watch cover was reorganized for the last time: "The entropy of the universe will increase, but love will weave your own order in the disorder - for example, his every heartbeat just corresponds to the frequency of your turning around." Lin Yue looked at the pocket watch and suddenly understood why every time danger came, she could always see the tip of Xia Zichen's sword the moment she turned around, because he had already engraved her breathing frequency into his fighting instinct.
The Entropy Scythe girl put the dice back into the scythe handle and pointed at the newly appeared "Double Taste Constellation": "Next, it's time to explore the 'Love Flavor Blind Zone' - there is a taste maze more complex than the 'Undefined Quadrant'." Xia Zichen held Lin Yue's hand tightly, and the Star Pattern Sword cast their overlapping shadows on the palm. In her Wind Pocket, a "Future Cavity" appeared at some point, hiding the questions they had yet to answer: "Which universe should we choose for our first date?" "What will an argument taste like?" "If we were together forever..."
The wind started to blow again, and the question from the "Ambiguous Bell" vine was replaced by a new whisper: "Smell, is there a scent of 'next step' in the air?" The black cat jumped onto the two people's holding hands, with its tail curled into a heart shape: "Don't ask the bell, ask the heartbeat - it has already given the answer." Before the words fell, the "Confession Tree" suddenly burst into "confirmation" fireworks. Each firework carried the scent of "yes", spelling out the taste map of "us" under the starry sky. At the end of the map is the unknown that is always open to each other.
