No matter how many times she searched, all she could see that day was at the end, when Ye Mu got up and hugged her.
The look of terror on his face then was almost identical to that of his childhood.
"Could it be that he also carries the memories of that time period?"
Yun Lian returned to the table, trying to find all traces of their past existence.
Even after searching through all the photo albums, they couldn't find a single piece of information about Ye Mu.
Was it just a dream, or did it actually happen?
When Yun Lian emerged from the system space, she felt lost and bewildered for the first time.
The feeling of loneliness, of being unable to integrate into this world, surged back once again.
Why does mixing Ye Mu's blood with hers allow her to travel back to Ye Mu's childhood?
Yun Lian repeatedly pressed and turned off the phone number she had obtained while searching for Ye Mu's information.
But in the end, the call was never made.

Ye Mu's room.
Trapped in a nightmare, clutching the glass bottle in helplessness and anguish, he murmured, "Yun Lian..."
Tears streamed down his face as he slept.
When I opened my eyes, the room was pitch black.
It felt like the whole world had abandoned us.
Ye Mu held the glass bottle filled with stars in his hands, which was covered in sweat.
A bitter smile played on his lips.
"It's a dream again..."
hehe.
What was he expecting? Apart from in his dreams, when had she ever shown him any familiarity?
Ye Mu opened his wallet, his fingers tracing the yellowed photos.
The photo shows a miniature version of him and Yun Lian. He arrogantly turns his head away but secretly looks at her, while Yun Lian is quirky and mischievous.
Our relationship before was like a bubble.
Her last memory was of her being taken away by her parents, leaving him alone with the house.
He kept his promise and went straight to the most dazzling place.
But he held the glass jar several times, hoping to fulfill his childhood wish.
But every time he looked at her and their eyes met, he was overwhelmed with emotion, while Yun Lian remained unmoved.
His gaze was as if he were looking at a stranger.
Thankfully, I'll be able to see her tomorrow.

early morning.
As soon as Yun Lian came downstairs, she saw Lu Yanli sitting at the dining table reading a newspaper.
Good morning, Mrs. Lu.
His sudden greeting almost made Yun Lian forget what she was about to say.
Good morning, boyfriend.
Lu Yanli was not satisfied with her answer.
But this feeling is hard to explain.
He wanted to hear "Mr. Lu" more than "boyfriend".
That would make him feel closer to them.
"It's still early, have breakfast first, and I'll tell you when to go to the recording site later."
"Okay, thank you, boyfriend."
Previously, at the dinner table, Yun Lian would usually be the one doing the talking and the other listening.
But now his little canary is silent.
Lu Yanli stopped reading the newspaper and stared intently at Yun Lian.
Without looking up, Yun Lian asked, "Lu Yanli, why are you staring at me instead of eating breakfast?"
I want to see you.
"What's so interesting about me? You've been looking at me for so many years, aren't you tired of it?"
"Not greasy."
In the past five years, he had never looked at Yun Lian closely.
Now he wants to take a closer look.
Drinking porridge is cute, chewing is cute, and even teasing him is excessively cute.
"Whatever, I'm busy recording. You should know how to take care of yourself whether you've eaten enough, right?"
Lu Yanli rested one hand on the table.
"You really like being in the entertainment industry? If you can give up the entertainment industry, I might be able to convince Mom and Dad to let you into the Lu family."
"Then forget it, I don't want to depend on others forever."
Lu Yanli walked to Yun Lian's side.
"Why can't you just back down? Say some nice things, even if it's just to coax me, and get a little bit of resources out of me, you can live a life of ease."
"Yun Lian, don't you want to give it a try?"
Yun Lian looked directly into his eyes, but her gaze held a hint of sadness.
“Mr. Lu, I don’t want to try anymore. I’m so tired. Right now, I just want to do a few things well: finish this variety show, spend the next thirty days with you, and see Xiao Bao one more time. That will be enough for me. I don’t want anything else.”
When he heard her say this, Lu Yanli felt a sudden panic.
It was as if she would disappear after he fulfilled these wishes, leaving him feeling empty inside.
"What are you saying? It's creepy. You can think of anything, and besides these few things, you can do a thousand and one things."
Lu Yanli's tone involuntarily carried a hint of pleading.
So never say these things in front of him again.
He will be afraid.
They were afraid that Yun Lian would disappear.
He finally came to understand his own heart and didn't want to give up.
Why can't she just compromise a little?
"Yun Lian, are you really not going to consider my suggestion?"
Yun Lian shook her head: "It's time, I should go record the variety show."
Lu Yanli was consumed by jealousy just thinking about her interactions with those male guests on the show.
He had never understood his own heart before, and never understood why he couldn't stand seeing others in the same frame as her. But now he knew that it was his possessiveness that was at play.
He only wanted to keep Yun Lian to himself.
He wanted to cook for Yun Lian himself, so he got up early in the morning to prepare this meal.
But she seemed to have a special fondness for that bowl of plain porridge, and didn't touch the fried dough sticks or the less-than-appealing steamed buns he made.
Lu Yanli felt frustrated with her for the first time.
"good."
The two got into the car and remained silent the entire way.
