Late at night, Van was leaning on the sofa in his room with eyes closed, resting and thinking back on everything that had happened these past days.
From the very beginning at the resort promotion, to everyone gathering in the screening hall, and finally to the dream space.
Behind all of this pointed to a single purpose, and that was to let everyone recover their memories and establish a connection with himself.
But all of this, what is it for?
Could it be, like Fireworks, just for the fun of watching him?
Or was it something else...
Van couldn't make heads or tails of it, always feeling that behind all of this was a deeper intent hidden.
Just as he was falling into thought, the door of his room was suddenly lightly knocked.
Van raised his head in puzzlement, glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already close to midnight.
"At this hour, who could it be..."
He muttered while walking to the door, and after opening it, he was surprised to find Pardofelis standing nervously outside.
"Pardo... Miss?"
Van was a little surprised.
They had clearly just seen each other in the day, and Pardofelis, who had recovered her memory, had not chosen to acknowledge him. So why was she coming to seek him out now?
Pardofelis glanced nervously around, like she was afraid of being seen, "Uh... um... is it convenient to talk inside?"
Van stepped aside to let her in.
Pardofelis quickly walked in, not forgetting to softly close the door behind her.
After sitting on the sofa, Van spoke straight to the point, "Pardo, you came to see me, is there something you want to say?"
Pardofelis's eyes flickered as she looked at Van. From the look in his eyes, she was certain he had already guessed that she had recovered her memory.
After taking a deep breath, Pardofelis gathered her courage and spoke,
"Boss Van, I believe you've already noticed, I've remembered everything..."
Van nodded, signaling her to continue.
"The reason I didn't acknowledge you before... is... is because..."
At this point, Pardofelis faltered.
Van smiled gently, "Pardo, after being together this long, I can understand your reason for not acknowledging me. But now, why is it that you've..."
Hearing his familiar voice, a warm current surged in Pardofelis's heart.
She lifted her head, her gaze firming, "Boss Van, this time I came to tell you something, I discovered..."
Knock! Knock!
A sudden knock interrupted her words.
Van looked toward the door in confusion, wondering what day it was today, with visitors coming one after another.
But when he turned his head back, Pardofelis was already gone, from the direction of the bedroom came the faint sound of a cabinet door opening and closing.
"This girl..."
Van shook his head helplessly. After so many years, little Pardo's sneakiness was still the same.
When he opened the door, he found Fu Hua standing there, face tangled with conflict.
What surprised Van even more was that at the corner of the corridor, Ivana's sneaky figure could be vaguely seen.
'This brat isn't up to another pit-your-mom kind of trick again, is she?'
Van muttered inwardly, but still welcomed Fu Hua inside.
He was in fact curious what business Fu Hua had, coming to him at such a late hour.
After entering the room, Fu Hua stood in the middle of the living room, face red, hesitant to speak.
"Hua, what is it?" Van asked softly.
This one sentence made Fu Hua's face turn even redder.
She remembered Ivana's coaxing from earlier that evening, gritted her teeth, and slowly reached her right hand into her pocket, preparing to take out the little item Ivana had prepared for her.
"Um... Van... I... you... would you want to..."
But before Fu Hua had finished speaking, another round of urgent knocking came from outside.
Knock! Knock!
Van sighed helplessly, thinking when would it end.
He walked to the door, habitually checked the peephole first, and then froze stiff on the spot.
'Huh? Mobius?'
'Why her?'
If it had been someone else, Van might not have been so shocked.'
But it just had to be Mobius, and at such a sensitive time.
On the other side of the room, when Fu Hua heard that name, she immediately panicked.
She instinctively looked around, and her gaze finally locked onto the wide wardrobe in the bedroom.
As if driven by instinct, she quickly walked over.
"Pardo? You're also..."
Just as she opened the door, Fu Hua froze.
Before she could finish speaking, Pardofelis had already yanked her inside.
"Shhh!" Pardofelis lowered her voice, looking warily toward the door, "Snake Sis is here, don't you dare make a sound!"
At the very moment the wardrobe door closed, Van opened the door.
"Why so long?" Mobius crossed her arms, her sharp gaze sweeping over Van. "What indecent things were you doing in there?"
Van forced a laugh, "How could that be, I was just... tidying up."
Mobius gave a cold snort, and directly walked into the room.
Tonight she was wearing her signature white coat, her long green hair swaying slightly with each step.
"I've come to demand the promise you owe me." She got straight to the point. "Still remember the agreement back at the hot springs?"
A chill ran down Van's back, suddenly filled with a bad premonition, "Of course I remember... so you mean..."
"After going through so much, I suddenly realized a problem. I think the connection between us isn't strong enough."
Mobius looked straight into his eyes, her tone calm, "So, have a child with me to strengthen it. This would be beneficial to both of us."
Van, '???'
He suspected he was hallucinating.
But Mobius's serious gaze told him this was no joke.
'Holy f*uck!!'
'My snake snake, do you even know what you're saying!'
'What the hell, "the relationship isn't strong enough, have a child to strengthen it!"'
Just as Van was left completely dumbfounded, from the bedroom direction suddenly came a muffled sound.
Mobius narrowed her eyes, quickly walked over and yanked open the wardrobe.
"Ah!"
Fu Hua staggered to keep her balance, while Pardofelis directly dropped to her knees on the floor.
At the same time, neither of them noticed, but a packeted little square also slipped out of the wardrobe, landing right by Pardofelis's hand.
"Huh? This is..." Pardofelis curiously picked up the little square, and under the light saw the words clearly, "Ultra-thin 0.01, hiss~"
Her fingers jolted violently, and the whole box dropped to the ground with a clatter, right in Mobius's full view.
The temperature in the room seemed to instantly drop to freezing point.
Mobius's gaze swept back and forth between the packet and the two of them, finally locking onto Pardofelis.
"Pardo." Mobius's voice carried no emotion at all. "What do you mean by bringing this thing into Van's room?"
