"Then... I still have a doubt." Zhang Ke thought for a while, held back the countless questions that came out of his heart, and just asked in the most implicit way:
"It is true that I have lost my memory, but neither Yuan Mengmeng nor Han Gang have. If according to what you said, Yuan Mengmeng is purely an intruder who did not exist, then does Yuan Mengmeng have any impression of you? Han Gang
Do you have any memories of your student days?",
"Of course Yuan Mengmeng didn't know me at all in the past, because we had almost no direct interactions." Sister Lan said, "As for Han Gang..."
From the beginning of this topic, her face has been filled with a touch of sadness, but it became more obvious at this moment. Although there were no exaggerated tears or artificial choking, and even the facial features themselves did not change much. But no matter who it was,
, you can see the sadness hidden under her calm surface at this moment.
Finally, Sister Lan sighed and said faintly: "Of course he doesn't remember me either. Just like you, those people back then have already forgotten my existence - so in Han Gang's eyes,
He only cooperated with me because of his father's business, and he has no earlier memories of his student days."
"...From your words, I seem to have noticed something very strange. If you didn't lie to me and what you said are all true things, it means that I am not the only one who has lost his memory. Han Gang also
I lost part of my memory about you. Even Yuan Mengmeng probably lost some key memories and had some false memories due to unknown reasons, which is why he inexplicably intervened in my and Han Gang's lives.
"Zhang Ke said.
"You can understand it that way." Sister Lan nodded, noncommittal.
"So, do you believe that everything you said is true, and each of us has partial or large amnesia? Or do you think that all this is just your nonsense? After all, you can't provide any evidence, right?" Zhang Ke was a little sharp.
asked rhetorically.
"It's reasonable to doubt this. After all, everything is just my opinion. And if you believe that most of the people around you either have amnesia or have confused memories, it's true..."
At this point, Sister Lan's expression suddenly changed, her face suddenly turned pale, her right hand tightly covered her chest, her bloodshot eyes widened, almost as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
Her expression looked extremely painful, her left hand was flailing around, and she even dropped the coffee cup to the ground with a loud crack.
"Sister Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Zhang Ke saw this situation. Although he didn't know what was going on, he still guessed that the other party must be in extreme pain now, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell? Do I need to call an ambulance for you?" The waiter asked nervously when he saw that Sister Lan was holding her chest and her breathing was becoming more and more obvious. She seemed to be feeling a little difficult.
"No... no, it's okay. I'll... recover soon."
However, Sister Lan just waved her hand and said softly: "Please give me a glass of boiled water, that's all."
Sure enough, just a moment later, the painful and ferocious expression on Sister Lan's face quickly disappeared without any warning, and she returned to her usual calmness, as if she had never been tortured before.
She drank the water from the cup calmly and slowly, until she adjusted her breathing completely and evenly, and then said to Zhang Ke: "I'm afraid the topic just now was too in-depth, so let's end the discussion."
"I understand." Zhang Ke nodded. He had vaguely guessed that Sister Lan's previous symptoms, which were similar to heart paralysis and severe chest pain, were probably some kind of warning, warning her not to reveal more information to him.
intelligence.
“This is the last dessert, our shop’s specialty ‘Seven Sins Chocolate Tower’.”
The waiter saw that Sister Lan had basically returned to normal, so he boldly brought the wooden dessert boxes piled into a pagoda to the table. The dessert boxes were seven stories high, and each layer was narrower than the previous one. It looked like
Like a miniature Tower of Babel.
However, the shape of the box itself is very simple. There is no unnecessary coloring or decoration on the exterior. Instead, the original natural color of the wood is retained. However, because it is polished extremely smoothly, it does not look shabby.
On the contrary, it has a low-key, simple and return to nature beauty.
"Why is the dessert called Seven Sins? It sounds very unlucky." Zhang Ke complained.
"That's because it tastes too sweet, but it's also a high-sugar, high-milk formula. For people who pay attention to body shape and health, it can be said to be an irresistible sin." Sister Lan skillfully untied it one by one.
The cover on the seven-story pagoda reveals all the hand-made chocolate inside.
Sure enough, these chocolates are as simple as the box on the outside. They have not undergone any fine carvings or are decorated with colored syrups. Instead, they are as natural as stars, scattered piece by piece inside the box, showing their most primitive form.
appearance.
Even Zhang Ke had some doubts. Regardless of the ingredients of the previous dishes, the store has made great efforts to create a visual impact at first glance, whether it is pork that is like cherry blossoms or a molecular mulberry that is more gorgeous than a rainbow.
Hey, even a moldy green apple is as delicate as an emerald handicraft.
The chocolate chips in front of me are not as good as Ferrero Rocher or even Dove chocolate, which has been specially processed and beautified in appearance. It is like drying condensed chocolate syrup, and then simply cutting the finished product and serving it to the table.
"Eat quickly, this is the dish I'm most looking forward to."
Unlike Zhang Ke, Sister Lan was abnormally excited at this time. She couldn't wait to grab three chocolates from the bottom layer and threw them into her mouth.
"Well... this is goat's milk vanilla flavored chocolate, and the goat's milk should be freshly squeezed, so the mellow aroma of the goat's fat is still retained in it."
Sister Lan murmured to herself, showing a happy and contented face, even a girlish expression, which made Zhang Ke a little surprised - it turned out that Sister Lan, who always looked either gloomy or mysterious and serious, actually
There is also that side.
She probably really loves sweets, right? This is also her little hobby as a woman.
While Zhang Ke was thinking this, he also touched a layer of chocolate and threw it into his mouth.
The rich sweetness spreads on the tip of the tongue, but before the mouth feels cloying, the fresh and salty taste of the macadamia nuts hidden in it bursts out. One sweet and one salty, one soft and one hard.
The words intertwined in their mouths made Zhang Ke feel hot in his chest.
