In a fluster, Shen Qingyao stuffed the box containing the jade bracelet into Cui Qiao's hands. As soon as her hands were free, they were grabbed by Lu Zhao. She followed his force and moved forward two steps before turning back to signal Cui Qiao with her eyes to carefully keep the box.

When she was taken to a small building where they could see fireworks, Shen Qingyao was left with only a piece of pastry in her hand, the one Shen Qingli had used to silence her earlier. After biting a small notch into it, she had been holding onto it. Now she neither threw it away nor ate it, feeling extremely awkward.

Lu Zhao had already released her, his expression appearing pleasant, though the smile was not as wide as before. It was still early; the arranged fireworks were not yet ready. Shen Qingyao didn't understand why they had to come out so early, but looking at Lu Zhao's expression now, she suddenly had a bit of understanding.

Wasn't he just tired of acting in front of others? Leaving the crowd early meant fewer things he needed to act out. After all, the two of them were experienced actors, and they could afford to be more casual around each other.

As Shen Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a sense of inexplicable disappointment. She lowered her head and took a bite of the jujube cake in her hand.

The jujube cake was sweet and sticky as it entered her mouth. Shen Qingyao hadn't had the chance to fully taste it when she noticed Lu Zhao's gaze on her hand.

Huh? What's going on?

Shen Qingyao stopped her motion of taking another bite, cautiously raised her head to glance at Lu Zhao, and indeed found him looking at her pastry.

She was utterly puzzled, stealing glances between the pastry and him, unsure of his intentions. Lu Zhao's expression seemed somewhat strange, as if he was reminded of something through this pastry, making Shen Qingyao feel a bit nervous.

"Perhaps he also wants to eat?" Shen Qingyao couldn't help asking the system. The jujube cake did taste good.

System : [...]

"Elder Brother Lu Zhao, would you like some?" Shen Qingyao finally asked Lu Zhao, then looked at the pastry in her hand that she had already taken two bites of, sinking into thought. If Lu Zhao nodded, would she give it to him?

But Lu Zhao probably wouldn't eat, right? Shen Qingyao comforted herself. After all, characters like White Moonlight often had some cleanliness quirks, right? Then she saw this cleanliness-conscious person nodding towards her, indicating, "Yes, I'd like some."

"..."

Since she was the one who asked the question, Shen Qingyao could only pout and pick up the pastry. With a gentle twist of her fingers, she split the jujube cake into two halves, one half was the part she had bitten, while the other half was pinched by her hand...

She hesitated for a moment, feeling that the pinched half might be better than the bitten one, so she handed that half over. "Here, this piece is for you."

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them paused simultaneously. Shen Qingyao's mind flashed quickly with something, as if she had done this before a long time ago, but before she transmigrated over, she had always been in the hospital with no friends, so it was impossible for her to share a piece of pastry with anyone. Could that be a part of the original owner's memories?
