His hair was still wet as he approached the group . He asked casually, “What’s wrong?”

Qiao Lian took her phone and searched on Baidu, before coming to a realization . “This side dish is actually a type of chinese herb! It is called the Chameleon Plant . But I have never eaten it before . ”
“Ah, no wonder it tastes so bad . But what kind of restaurant is this? Why did they even give us this side dish for free? The taste of it is really weird,” commented Auntie Li .
Xia Yehua thought for a moment before replying, “Oh, I recall that people in Sichuan love to eat this dish . This kind of dish has an acquired taste . Those who like it, love it, whereas those who don’t, will hate it . Come, everyone, let’s try it and see if it’s to your taste . ”
After Auntie Li heard this, she muttered, “Who could like this kind of weird-tasting dish?!”
Qiao Lian pursed her lips and smiled as she saw that everyone was nagging incessantly, creating a nice atmosphere .
She turned, intending to place a bowl of rice on Shen Liangchuan’s hand . However, she saw that Shen Liangchuan was staring at the side dish as if he had just seen a ghost .
Qiao Lian was stunned . She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Shen Liangchuan . “Hello! Hello!”
Shen Liangchuan then regained his composure and answered, “Oh . ”

He held his bowl of rice, distracted . As he sat down at the dining table, his gaze was still on the plate of Chameleon Plant .
Qiao Lian felt puzzled and asked, “You know of this dish?”
Shen Liangchuan lowered his gaze as he answered plainly, “Yes . ”
“Do you like it?”
“I don’t . ”
But someone else loved it .
Soul Fighter loved it .
He recalled that, after knowing each other for half a year through playing the game, he planned to meet Soul Fighter in real life .

They had arranged to meet for lunch in a restaurant on a Saturday afternoon .
Out of courtesy, he let Soul Fighter decide the place .
Soul Fighter had chosen a restaurant that served Sichuan cuisine in a deserted area of Beijing .
At that time, they were served this dish .
He had frowned and swallowed the food after taking a bite .
However, Soul Fighter enjoyed eating it . “In Sichuan cuisine, most dishes are spicy, however, this Chameleon Plant is good at repelling body temperature risa, as well as removing toxins . It’s easy feel hot in this dry Beijing weather . After having a few more tries, you will get used to it and will find that it is especially nice to eat . ”
As Shen Liangchuan lowered his head to eat his food, the image of that familiar figure flashed across his mind .

Shen Liangchuan had a dream once again .
He dreamt that he had arranged to meet Soul Fighter to choose a computer, but he could not find him anywhere on the street .
When he finally spotted his back view, he immediately rushed over to pat Soul Fighter’s shoulder .
When Soul Fighter turned around, again, it was that face full of blood .
Soul Fighter even questioned him in the dream, “Zi Chuan, I heard that you and Xiao Qiao are getting along very well . ”
“Don’t you think you let me down?”
Shen Liangchuan opened his eyes all of a sudden .
It was pitch-black . Through that dim night light, he could tell that it was late in the night .
His heart was pumping rapidly and he had broken out in cold sweat .
Shen Liangchuan took in a deep breath and tried his best to suppress that sense of guilt in him, before turning his head gradually .
He saw that Qiao Lian was in deep sleep .
She probably was exhausted due to the day’s events, moving houses and cleaning, and hence she was soundly asleep .
Her breathing was calm as he looked at her tiny face .
Shen Liangchuan drew in another deep breath . He didn’t know why, but Soul Fighter’s face suddenly flashed past in front of him .
Both Soul Fighter and Qiao Lian’s faces appeared before his eyes .
He shook his head as the frustration in him intensified .
That kind of guilt was amplified many times in the dark . In the end, it seemed as if it had become a heavy stone, crushing his chest and making him unable to breathe .
