"Hi~ Long time no see~"
When Elysia said this sentence, everyone present was stunned.
Van instinctively stopped his steps, his gaze naturally falling on Elysia's face, trying to find some clue from her expression.
However, she smiled so naturally, as if she had really known them for a long time.
"You... know us?" Kiana tilted her head and asked curiously.
When Kiana asked this question, Van even felt that the air around them froze for a moment.
Facing Kiana's question, Elysia playfully blinked.
Then she shook the phone in her hand and said with a smile, "Of course, I saw you in the videos!"
"Don't judge me by my looks, I watch every episode, I'm a true fan through and through!"
Hearing this, the girls finally let out a sigh of relief.
However, Van noticed, when Elysia said this line, a flash of something unfathomable passed through her eyes, vanishing in an instant.
After a bit of casual chatting, everyone went to order food from the barbecue master Kalpas.
"Wanna sit together?" Elysia warmly invited everyone. "Eden will come in a bit too. I recommended this barbecue place to her, and she said she's really looking forward to it."
Hearing the name 'Eden', everyone's eyes lit up.
Without psychological pressure anymore, Kiana instantly transformed into a fangirl, excitedly asking, "What?! Eden's coming! Is that true?"
"Of course~ She's really looking forward to seeing you all~" Elysia nodded with a smile. "Eden's just like me, basically never misses an episode."
"Oh right, I'll tell you a little secret, but don't let Eden know~" Elysia grinned slyly, "When she watched the videos before, she cried like a baby."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions instantly turned colorful.
Although Kiana and the others knew their story was moving, the thought that those who lived through it would still cry when watching those memories made their hearts stir with subtle emotion.
Everyone sat around the barbecue stall. Elysia munched on a skewer while curiously observing them.
"So, what's your relationship now?" She propped her chin and scanned between Van and the girls. "Compared to the videos, your current relationship... hmm, seems a little complicated..."
As soon as Ivana heard this, her eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to chime in, "Yeah yeah, old geezer's really popular, everyone wants to be with him…"
"Ahem... Ivana, eat some meat. You're still growing right now." Van interrupted expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Ivana pouted.
After taking the skewer from Van, Ivana seemed to have thought of something, the corners of her mouth unconsciously rising, clearly not planning to give up on creating a battlefield of jealousy.
Elysia looked at them with a cheerful smile, seemingly completely unaffected by Ivana's interruption, instead saying with envy, "How nice, to be surrounded by so many beautiful girls. Van must be really happy, huh?"
"Suddenly, I really want to join too~"
As soon as her voice fell, a graceful voice came from behind.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Everyone turned their heads and saw a tall woman wearing sunglasses and a sunhat walking over slowly.
Although she was wrapped up tightly, her calm and poised demeanor left no doubt, it was Eden.
"You're finally here, my dear Eden~" Elysia happily stood up from her seat and took Eden's hand.
Eden smiled gently and took off her sunglasses, revealing those warm eyes.
"Elysia, sorry to keep you waiting."
Even though she was trying to keep a low profile, Eden's arrival still caught the attention of some passersby.
After all, as a world-renowned pop star, Eden naturally became the center of attention wherever she went.
Glancing at the slowly gathering crowd around them, Kalpas snorted coldly and stopped his grilling.
Instead, he quickly walked to the side and efficiently set up a small tent beside the barbecue stall so everyone could eat in peace.
"What a hassle."
Though Kalpas grumbled, his hands skillfully flipped the meat, and he even glared a few curious onlookers back into place.
To be honest, Kalpas himself didn't know why he was doing all this, but deep down he just felt... this is what he should be doing.
So, the group sat together inside the tent, eating and chatting.
Elysia and Eden were both cheerful and quickly bonded with everyone.
Kiana took the chance to begin her fangirling journey.
She first asked Eden many questions about the entertainment industry, then asked Elysia how it felt to be a streamer.
Van listened to their conversation while quietly observing Elysia.
Her words and actions were so natural, as if she really knew them well.
But whenever the topic touched on the past, she would skillfully avoid it, brushing it off with "saw it in the video."
Seeing this, Van felt confused inside.
'Has she really not regained her memory?'
Just as the atmosphere was becoming harmonious, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Can I join?"
Everyone turned to see Mobius standing not far away, arms crossed, eyes subtly fixed on them.
The air instantly grew cold.
Otto reacted the fastest, immediately standing up and pulling Kallen to leave, "Uh… we have something to do, we'll be going first."
The dragged Kallen looked confused and asked, "Eh? Why's Otto in such a hurry? I haven't finished eating yet!"
Yae Sakura also sensed the tension in the air and quickly followed, helping Otto drag Kallen away.
"Kallen, I found a new dessert shop earlier. Come with me and check it out."
With the two of them working together, Kallen was forcibly dragged away.
On the other side, Mobius ignored the three who left first, her gaze fixed on Van, as if she wanted to say something.
However, before she could speak, Elysia smilingly interrupted, "Oh my, isn't this the famous biologist Dr. Mobius? Someone as busy as you is actually here on vacation too?"
Mobius glanced at Elysia and, unfazed, raised her heels and replied coldly, "Aren't you here too?"
"Eh? Me?" Elysia pointed at herself in confusion, then smiled and said, "As a streamer, it's not strange for me to appear anywhere~"
Saying this, Elysia's gaze wandered up and down Mobius's figure, then...
She also slightly raised herself on tiptoe.
"But Dr. Mobius, I heard you've been researching human lifespan extension. Don't tell me... this youthful look of yours is actually a result of your experiment?"
"Could it be? You're already a granny in her seventies~"
