I haven’t been drinking, nor am I dreaming.

I can rationally discern whether the person beside me is human or a ghost.

I have tried to hold his hand, and it was warm.

Ghosts have no warmth, but he does!

Therefore, I can roughly conjecture.

This man must have done more than three things.

When I was attacked by someone set up by Jiang Jiaying at the logistics park opening last time, someone came out of the shadows to save me, and it is likely this man.

The second time was when he delivered a durian cake to me, helped me hang up my clothes, and so on.

And now, he has brought me medicine.

To accomplish these three things is certainly no coincidence; he must understand me very, very well, and there’s only one name in my heart for this person.

But I can’t say it now for fear of startling him.

“Do you need anything else?”

he asked me.

“As you can see, I am blind; my vision is limited, and I can’t see. I know you must be a very kind volunteer, so how about this, could you help me with a small favor before you leave?”

“What do you need?”

“A lot of things, but first, help me into the house!”

Under my insistence, he did not leave.

“I would like to drink some tea, could you help me make some? There’s a kettle in the kitchen for boiling water, and the tea should be next to the fridge. Thank you very much!”

I sat down on the sofa and began to fiddle with my phone.

The man did not refuse; his footsteps gradually moved toward the kitchen.

While I cannot see clearly, I can still make out that vague figure through the periphery of my vision and the gauze.

Actually, I’m also not too sure if he is Gu Yuanzhou.

Because his voice now is quite different from the past.

After about fifteen minutes, he brought out the tea he’d prepared from the kitchen and placed it in front of me.

“Your tea is ready!”

Three words, his voice hoarse.

In fact, overall, he does seem somewhat similar to Gu Yuanzhou, but his voice is hoarser.

“What kind of tea is this?”

I asked, smelling the fragrance of the tea.

“Green mandarin, aged tangerine peel, chrysanthemum, and cassia seeds…”

“Uh, why this tea? I don’t recall ever buying it!”

I felt the name of the tea was very unfamiliar, and he immediately explained:

“It’s good for the eyes! It should benefit your vision.”

“Oh!”

I held the cup with both hands and carefully took a sip, its sweetness infused with moisture.

After it went down my throat, I felt a lot more comfortable.

“Is it good?”

“Very good! I used to really dislike tangerine peel, but now I find I’ve come to accept it.”

“You shouldn’t drink too much though; if you like it, one cup a day is enough.”

“Thank you!”

“Mhm, I’ve made your tea, can I go now?”

“Oh, sorry, I’m feeling a bit hungry now. Could you cook something for me to eat?”

“I could order some takeout for you!”

“I don’t want takeout! I’m sick of it already. I just want some home-cooked food; can you help me with that?”

I began to reminisce about those ten years of marriage.

In fact, Gu Yuanzhou did pamper me quite a bit.

When I was pregnant with our first child, my morning sickness was severe, and I would throw up anything I ate.

I also couldn’t stand the smell of fishiness; just placing any fish in front of me would immediately make me vomit.

I grew thinner with each passing day during the first three months.

Gu Yuanzhou tried to hire several cooks, but none of their dishes suited my taste.

In the end, Gu Yuanzhou decided to roll up his sleeves and cook himself.

Because fish contains a rich amount of protein and various scarce nutritional elements, it is essential to include in one’s diet.

Gu Yuanzhou, in order to make sure I had a nutritious diet, specifically minced the fish and then made various fish balls, fish paste, fish cakes…

He also accompanied them with various sour and spicy seasonings, so when eating, one couldn’t feel the fishy taste at all.

In this regard, he really put in the effort and successfully helped me get through the morning sickness phase of pregnancy, and my weight also began to rise normally.

So, it was during that period that Gu Yuanzhou honed his excellent cooking skills.

Later, he gradually went from cooking fish to other dishes, and he was able to make all sorts of different and distinctive dishes.

Each one had its own characteristic…

I was thinking, if a person changes in every other way, the skill with which he cooks should remain unaltered.

With this thought, I wanted him to make me a few dishes.

That way, I could discern whether he was really Gu Yuanzhou or not.

“What would you like to eat?”

He didn’t refuse me.

“Fish! I haven’t eaten fish in a long time!”

“Do you only want to eat fish?”

“Yes, I want to eat fish. Of course, if you have the time and patience to make other dishes, I would love to eat those too!”

“Then you might need to wait for a while, I need to go buy ingredients.”

“Don’t bother too much, my phone has an app for buying groceries, you can place an order and it will be delivered in about twenty minutes.”

“Okay!”

He placed an order on the phone, and then the groceries were quickly delivered.

While he was handling the food in the kitchen, I slowly made my way over.

“Do you need help?”

“No need, you sit over there, the kitchen is full of fumes.”

Such words were all too familiar.

Back then, when I was pregnant, and he was cooking for me in the kitchen, I wanted to help…

He had said the same thing to me.

“It’s okay, I’ll just help you peel some garlic cloves!”

“No need, there’s nothing here that requires your help. Just sit in the living room.”

He came out, helped me to the sofa, and then handed me a pair of headphones,

“You can listen to some music!”

“Download a few songs for me!”

“Okay!”

He then picked up the phone, downloaded a music app, and also downloaded a few songs.

As he cooked in the kitchen, I started listening to music.

The songs were indeed ones I used to like.

Some were even the songs I liked five or six years ago!

Who could it be, if not Gu Yuanzhou?

Listening to these familiar tunes, I felt as though I had returned to that warm period of the past.

It was very healing.

I was so immersed in this beautiful time that I found it hard to pull myself away.

Only when the scent of the dishes filled the air did I come back to my senses.

“Come, it’s time to eat!”

He helped me to sit at the dining table.

“The bowl is here, the fork is here! The fish pieces are on the plate to your left!”

He had thoughtfully arranged all the utensils for me.

Inhaling the aroma of the fish, I forked a piece and put it into my mouth.

In this piece of fish, I tasted the flavor of butter, as well as cinnamon and cumin powder, and the taste of herbs.

It was fragrant and delicious!

The fish was perfectly fried and had not a single bone.

But it was not the taste I remembered.

“What kind of fish is this?”

“Pan-seared cod fillets! Do you like it?”
