Several days later, Lorraine's eyes gradually got better and better until she could go home.
Lorraine carefully read the document that Zi Yan's had helped her investigated about Qian Xu.
There was information about Qian Xu lived in Alicata orphanage. Nothing was unusual but Lorraine was like possessed by a demon and couldn't help but look at the file over and over again, trying to find out what was missing.
Lorraine decided to make something to eat so that she could stop thinking about it.
She was kneading the dough intently when she suddenly heard Ye Jie's voice: "You said you would only cook for the one you love."
Lorraine was stunned for a moment then slowly turned her head to see Ye Jie wearing a white shirt standing outside the window.
He put one hand in his trouser pocket and the other behind him, looking at her quietly.
Sunlight shone through dense branches and leaves over the big tree behind him, enveloped him in soft pale light. The whole person was as refreshing and clean as a drop of dew on a green leaf that not yet corrupted with the slightest dust of the world.
Lorraine felt dizzy and couldn't help closing her eyes. A picture came to life in her mind.
A man who couldn't see his face walked towards her on the sunset, stood still outside the window. He stretched out his hidden hand behind his back and handed her a bouquet of white Casablanca lilies.
"This ancient breed flower is expensive and delicate. Next time if you want to send flowers, go to the mountains and pick wild flowers so I don't need to waste money to buy culture fluid..." She stretched out her hand full of flour and patted the man's face.
The halo circle after circle swayed like ripples. That face gradually became clear and turned out to be Ye Jie. There was a funny flour palm print on his handsome face. The corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
Lorraine suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ye Jie standing in front of the window, handing her a bunch of blue wild flowers, "Wild flowers picked from the mountain can just put in clear water. No culture fluid is needed."
Lorraine took a few steps back with pale face as if seeing something terrifying.
Ye Jie asked eagerly, "Did you remember something?"
"No!" Lorraine had calmed down and said unhesitating, "Isn't it a matter of course for me to be wary of you?"
Ye Jie's eyes were full of heartbroken, "Still want to kill me?"
Lorraine said coldly: "The flower in your hand is called Mythical Flower. The first flower I gave Qian Xu was this Mythical Flower."
Ye Jie glanced at the flower in his hand annoyed. He suddenly raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Even if you take it seriously, it is only a memory of ten years. Wait until you remember memories of the previous decades, you will understand that it is nothing. "
Lorraine said nothing and stared at Ye Jie.
Ye Jie said helplessly: "There is a misunderstanding between us. I will never hurt you."
Lorraine sneered: "Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding three times in a row is a thing!"
Ye Jie took out a particular syringe, "This is a potion to help you restore your memory, not a genetic virus."
Restore memory? Lorraine was stunned in disbelief.
"In the first operation, Consul's assassination was a fake. My real purpose was to create chaos and approach you to restore your memory. As long as you recover your memory, you will naturally know what to do when you see the two mercenaries. The task should have gone smoothly. I didn't expect you to actually have level B strength. Not only did you waste a syringe of potion, you also clashed with two mercenaries and almost killed yourself."
"In the second operation, I gave up stealing Odin research data and just wanted to restore your memory. Unexpectedly, all four of them died."
Lorraine said mockingly: "In the third operation, you sent nine A level mercenaries, thinking that dealing with one A level and one B level would definitely be foolproof and didn't expect Odin to be prepared and fell into a trap. Not only the whole team was wiped out, the drug was also seized and I happened to read the drug analysis report."
"I know. That's why I said there was a misunderstanding between us. Odin set up a fish trap and I just cooperated. The drug was specially left for them to analyze so that they would not suspect you." Ye Jie stared at Lorraine, sincerely said: "There are only three syringes of potion to restore memory. This is the last one. I don't trust to send anyone so I can only come here myself."
Lorraine suddenly drew a handful of knives from the row and threw them over. Ye Jie grabbed the knife handle and looked at Lorraine in disbelief: "Why won't you restore your memory?"
Lorraine held a knife in each hand and stood on a fighting stance, "Do you want to fight to death again? I'm not capable of killing you, but Chen Sha can."
"You only have two choices, leave with me, or take my life. I'm waiting for you to find me."
He stepped on the shadow of the setting sun and gradually distant away.
In a trance, as if hearing someone talked and laughed closely in her ear: "Only cook for me."
It was Ye Jie's voice, the warm voice in those fragmentary memories turned out to be Ye Jie's voice! Lorraine covered her ears in pain.

In the evening, Chen Sha came back from work and saw a long table that could sit twelve people in the dining room was filled with all kinds of dishes.
Chen Sha ordered robot to delivered food to 'everyone' as Lorraine wished. Those also included eight-treasure winter melon cup and soup dumplings to Consul.
Anyway, these two dishes only have special meaning to her and Qian Xu. To Consul, they were just two ordinary dishes. Even if he saw it, it shouldn't matter at all!
Lorraine and Chen Sha sat face to face on both sides of the long table, eating quietly. She just realized that they two had lived under the same roof for more than ten years in the name of husband and wife, but it was the first time that just two people ate together.
"Delicious."
Chen Sha spoke suddenly. Lorraine was taken aback. After a while, she reacted, "Oh, thank you."
Two people fell silent again.
Lorraine took the initiative to speak: "I don't know what you like to eat so I just make it as I like."
"Rose jam."
"Huh?" Lorraine was confused.
"My mother does not know how to cook and almost never goes into the kitchen. The only thing she knows how to make is rose jam. After my mother passed away, I had the robot made it, but the taste was completely different." Chen Sha lowered his head and looked at the bread on the plate, "I want to eat rose jam. Can you make it for me next time?"
"...Okay." Lorraine didn't expect Chen Sha to be asking.
"Thanks."
Lorrain felt that the atmosphere became weirder and said carefully: "Don't expect too much. The rose jam I made is very likely to be completely different from the taste in your memory."
"It doesn't matter."
Lorraine really didn't know what he meant by 'It doesn't matter', but Chen Sha rarely asked for even once, so she would do her best.
After all, they won't have much 'next time'. Her identity was given by Ye Jie. Now Ye Jie wanted to take it back. May be this was not only the first time she and Chen Sha ate together, but also the last!
