Ye Jie stayed in the chamber dedicated for VIPs at Sparta Palace, not quite near the commander's residence but not too far away. It could be reached within half an hour's walk.
Lorraine stood in front of Ye Jie's door.
She rang door bell and it almost opened immediately. He let her in with a smile.
Lorraine looked around, "I used to live here when I first came to Alicata."
"How did you feel then?"
"Empty, nervous, scared, lonely. The six dukes did not want to marry me, so they drew lots to decide the groom. I prayed secretly, hoping for a husband who was easy to get along with."
Sadness flashed across Ye Jie's eyes. He opened his arms as if wanted to give Lorraine a hug.
Lorraine took a step back and looked at Ye Jie coldly.
Ye Jie didn't force it and easily made an inviting gesture, smiled and said, "You're welcome, please feel free."
Lorraine saw an easel in the middle of the living room and walked over, "You can paint picture?" It's totally unimaginable that the Dragon Head of the Dragon Blood unit's hobby was painting, moreover the ancient kind of poster painting on paper.
"The way to relieve stress, just like you can cook."
A walnut tree with grand crown, behind the tree was a two-story wooden house. Lorraine was wearing a white cashmere skirt, black short boots, and gloves, picking up walnuts. Ye Jie was beside her, one hand holding a wooden barrel containing the picked walnuts, and another hand was about to feed her a piece of peeled walnut.
Lorraine felt that everything on the frame seemed to be intimately familiar and like a déjà vu, "Is this a real thing that happened before?"
"Real. You made walnut muffins with walnuts you picked up, very delicious."
Lorraine murmured, "The house is the kind I like. The tree is also the kind I like."
The house she planned to save money and buy with Qian Xu was like this, also a tall tree next to the house. Could it be that everything she longed for and looked forward to was what she had owned before?
Ye Jie asked: "What do you choose?"
"I want to restore my memory."
"Do you still want to kill me to avenge Qian Xu?"
Lorraine shook her head bitterly, "I'm wrong to have blamed you. Qian Xu's death has nothing to do with you."
Ye Jie patted Lorraine's shoulder comfortingly, "I know you are very sad, but believe me, when you recover your memory, everything will pass."
Lorraine appeared to be very calm, but her voice revealed faint fragile, "Will I forget the memory of Alicata?"
"You won't"
Ye Jie used his index finger to smear a little red paint from the paint tray and showed it to Lorraine, "Your memory now is like this little red paint, bright and beautiful, very eye-catching that make you can only see it."
He put his stained with red paint finger into the crystal jar and stirred slowly. The color was dissolved in the water little by little. Soon red color on his finger completely disappeared, but the water in the crystal jar was still blue-green and didn't change at all as if the bright and beautiful red color had never existed.
Ye Jie thought for a while, "It's probably like an episode of dream. No matter how immersive and frighten to heart the dream is, there will left no trace after waking up from the dream."
Lorraine didn't take her eyes off.
This was how Qian Xu dissolved and disappeared in Yin Nanzhao's life!
Lorraine laughed mockingly. Wait until she regained all her memories, Luo Xun would dissolve and disappear like this, neither she nor Yin Nanzhao would owe to either one anymore.
Ye Jie put down the crystal jar and took out the syringe.
Lorraine slowly stretched out her hand to him.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."
The rushing doorbell sound suddenly rang. Lorraine was freaking out and subconsciously wanted to take back her hands but was caught by Ye Jie.
Lorraine struggled and said, "Someone..."
"Don't mind it!" Ye Jie raised his hand and was about to inject her medicine.
With a 'bang', the door was kicked flying with a black shadow as powerful as thunderbolt plundered soaring inwards.
Ye Jie couldn't help but to hide the syringe quickly. He guarded Lorraine behind him and waved his hand attacking the intruder who suddenly broke in.
The opponent did not retreat nor avoid, but his full blow under his rage was like a clay ox entered the sea and disappeared without returning the slightest ripple.
Ye Jie was shocked in his heart. He composed himself before asking mockingly: "Lord Consul, is it Odin's hospitality etiquette to break the door and enter?"
Consul said indifferently: "Important matters come first. We must give top priority to protect federal citizen's life to avoid the theme park accidents recurrence."
Ye Jie was helpless and spoke in an alleviate tone, "We brother sister were just chatting."
"Last time, you were just going for a trip." Consul remained unmoved and looked at Lorraine, "Princess, I will send you back."
Lorraine lowered her head standing behind Ye Jie. She did not speak nor move as if she hadn't heard Consul's words at all.
Ye Jie's mood suddenly improved a lot. He knew that it would be impossible to inject medicine for Lorraine today so he stepped aside, "Lorraine, you go back first. We will talk again next time."
Lorraine still did not respond.
Consul thought Ye Jie had done something to her then suddenly grabbed Lorraine's hand.
Lorraine suddenly raised her head, both eyes were as bright as stars, obviously in good conscious.
Consul immediately let go of her hand, "Let's go!"

On the empty boulevard
Lorraine followed behind Consul, looking at his back in silence.
Consul slowed down, "Next time you meet Ye Jie, let Chen Sha accompany you."
"That's the brother I grew up with. What on earth does your Excellency suspecting?" Lorraine also slowed down. She could only look at his back from the beginning to the end.
"It's not that I suspect anything, but the accident in the theme park had shown that he may threaten your safety in life."
"The theme park accident was just an accident. This is Sparta Palace. I am an A level strongman. Ye Jie can't kill me quietly. Besides, what good is it for him to kill me? Is he tired of living and looking for death?"
Consul stopped his footstep, "What does princess want to say?"
"I want to say..." Lorraine also stopped her footstep, "You! Mind your own business!"
Consul turned around. He stared at Lorraine and warned coldly: "Princess, please be careful with your words and attitude."
Lorraine walked up to him step by step. She looked up at him and said in provocation, "I'm in this attitude! What are you going to do? Kill me? Or beat me up right away?"
Consul was silent. There was no trace of emotion in his ice blue eyes.
Lorraine's arrogance slowly fell silent.
Distance was so close, only inches away, and breathing could be heard.
But distance was also that far, so far that she didn't know how to see him clearly.
She tried very hard to see, but there was only an expressionless mask glowing with ice-cold metal luster.
Lorraine was as if bewitched. She reached out her hand wanted to take off his mask one more time.
The fingertip just touched the mask and Consul grabbed her wrist, "Is my generosity misleading you that make you think you can do whatever you please and offend me at will?"
Lorraine's wrist was pinched very painfully. With all her strength, she could not break free so she angrily kicked Consul.
Consul yanked her calf with his foot tip and lightly dragged forward while loosening her hand at the same time. Lorraine was caught off guard and fell back to the ground.
Lorraine totally didn't expect Consul to fight back. She was stupid one instant and suddenly laughed haha, laughed so much that tears nearly streaming down.
Her Qian Xu couldn't be treating her like this!
What did she had imagine about? Did she think it was magic tricks? Last time it wasn't Qian Xu that was uncovered under the mask. This time would it turn out to be Qian Xu if she uncovered the mask?
Consul scolded: "Get up!"
Lorraine covered her wet eyes with her hands and lay motionless on the ground like a rascal, "Get lost!"
"What did you say?"
"I said get lost! Get lost the farther the better!"
Consul ordered: "Arrest and send to prison."
Two guards suddenly appeared and grabbed Lorraine's arm one on each side. They lifted her up from the ground and dragged her to the patrol car not far away.
Lorraine asked angrily: "What crime did I commit that you arresting me?"
"As I am Consul and you are disrespectful to me."
Lorraine unwaveringly stared at Consul. She was imprisoned because she was disrespectful to him. Then what about him? What crime was it that he did to her?
Consul stood with folded arms and looked at her indifferently without the slightest expression on the masked face.
