Chapter 327 It's time to present the evidence of "Twin Symbiosis"
Tang Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and bowed slightly towards the pit: "Good, good... finally at peace."
He turned to the Fang Squad and said solemnly, "Start filling in the soil, but be gentle."
Luo Lei immediately accepted the order and, together with Lu Ye, Qin Huo'er, and Wang Chui, picked up shovels, carefully scooped up the soil, and gently filled it into the pit.
Before long, the pit was filled in, forming a small burial mound.
Luo Lei and Wang Chui worked together to nail the wooden plank to the front of the grave. Tang Xiaorui took a paintbrush and carefully drew a smiling white ape head on the plank.
The crowd stood quietly before the grave, gazing at the simple wooden plank and the gentle, smiling white ape in the painting, their hearts filled with a sense of peace and melancholy.
After a long while, Tang Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and turned around.
"Alright." His voice regained its usual composure. "The matter of the white ape has finally been resolved satisfactorily. Let's go, let's have lunch first."
The group slowly walked out of Jingling Slope along the bluestone path, the sunlight filtering through the leaves and falling on them, warm and tranquil.
Tang Xiaorui hooked her arm around Lin Feng's and walked a dozen steps before she couldn't help but lean close to Lin Feng's ear and whisper:
"Feng, for tonight's wedding, would you prefer a Chinese or Western style?"
Lin Feng turned his head to look at her; Tang Xiaorui's eyes were bright and full of anticipation.
"Chinese style, please." He thought for a moment and smiled, "A phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, with red candles burning brightly, that would have more traditional charm."
"I like Chinese style too!" Tang Xiaorui's eyes brightened, and she leaned closer, lowering her voice even further.
"So... what would you like me to wear on our wedding night? A red bodice? Or... nothing at all?"
Lin Feng paused slightly, coughed lightly, and unconsciously glanced ahead.
Tang Yuan walked in front, leaning on his cane, with Tang Xiaofu following a few steps behind him, seemingly unaware of the commotion behind them.
"Let's not discuss this here, it wouldn't be good if someone overheard."
Tang Xiaorui pouted and nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll talk about it later."
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Lin Feng's shoulder, her face beaming with undisguised joy.
Lin Feng's brows gradually furrowed—
He was to marry Tang Xiaorui that very night, and he had to prove the truth about the two sisters' "twin symbiosis" as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once Tang Xiaorui is brought back to the Anning Quadrant, the sisters' vitality will only wither and fade away little by little.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng silently called out in his heart, "System."
A cold, mechanical voice immediately echoed in my mind:
【exist. 】
"I need solid evidence regarding 'twin symbiosis'."
"I won't be spending much time in this instance, and this matter must be truly believed by Tang Yuan, Xiao Fu, and Xiao Rui; it can't be based on just my word."
"You need to give me evidence that can prove it and let them see it for themselves."
The system was silent for a moment.
[The request is reasonable; we are currently analyzing the simplest feasible solution...]
[Based on the host's current situation—the dungeon has been completed and the host is free to leave the zoo—it is recommended to use the "Separation Reaction Test" for verification.]
[There is an invisible life force connection between Geminis. When the two are not in the same environment, they will experience significant discomfort: mild symptoms include restlessness and difficulty concentrating, while severe symptoms include palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.]
[If the host can create a brief, controlled separation and observe the reactions of both parties, clear evidence can be obtained.]
Lin Feng let out a soft breath.
The plan is not complicated to implement. As long as Xiaorui leaves the zoo and stops briefly in the teleportation hall, the truth of the twin symbiosis can be perfectly verified.
He felt a little more at ease and planned to find an opportunity to bring it up during lunch.
Before long, the group entered the zoo's small canteen.
Tang Yuan called out to the kitchen, "Sister Li, bring up the dishes we prepared in advance. Everyone is starving."
"Okay, Director Tang!"
Aunt Li responded from the kitchen.
Tang Yuan walked straight to a seat by the window and waved to Lin Feng and the two sisters:
"Xiaofu, Xiaorui, Lin Feng, come and sit here."
"Luo Lei, you guys can all sit wherever you like, don't be shy."
"Yes!" Luo Lei responded and led Lu Ye, Qin Huo'er, and Wang Chui to sit down at a table diagonally opposite each other.
Before long, Aunt Li came out carrying a large tray and steadily placed the steaming dishes on the table.
Each table was neatly set with six dishes and a soup.
Tender and flavorful braised beef brisket, braised lion's head meatballs coated in rich sauce, glistening and tempting braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, fresh and spicy pork ribs, chewy and flavorful stir-fried lamb with scallions, all served with a refreshing and light stir-fried vegetable dish.
There was also a large bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup.
The steaming heat and enticing aroma made one's mouth water, and all the fatigue of the morning was quickly forgotten.
Tang Yuan picked up his chopsticks and said, "Come on, don't be shy, start eating."
Tang Xiaorui immediately picked up her chopsticks, and the first thing she did wasn't to eat it herself, but to put a large piece of spicy pork rib into Lin Feng's bowl:
"Feng, try this, it looks delicious!"
Lin Feng laughed and said, "I can do it myself, you eat first."
"No, no," Tang Xiaorui shook her head, then picked up another piece of stir-fried mutton with scallions and put it in his bowl. "You worked so hard this morning, you should eat more. And this too, this is delicious..."
As she spoke, her chopsticks kept going, placing braised beef brisket, braised pork belly with preserved vegetables, and braised lion's head meatballs into Lin Feng's bowl one by one. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's bowl was piled up like a small mountain.
Lin Feng was both amused and exasperated, and said softly, "Xiaorui, that's enough. Your uncle and Xiaofu are watching."
Tang Xiaorui's cheeks flushed slightly, but she raised her chin and smiled sweetly.
"It's okay, as long as we don't feel awkward, they're the ones who will feel awkward."
Tang Yuan took a bite of the stir-fried vegetables, pointed at Tang Xiaorui with his chopsticks, and said with a laugh:
"You silly girl, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with outsiders like this?"
Tang Xiaorui stuck out her tongue, but showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, she said matter-of-factly:
"I feel sorry for him! Dad, didn't Mom treat you the same way when you were young?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yuan paused with his chopsticks, and the smile in his eyes dimmed little by little, like a candle flame extinguished by the wind.
Tang Xiaofu watched this unfold, her expression changing slightly. She gave her younger sister a light glare and said, "Xiaorui, stop talking..."
Tang Xiaorui then realized what was happening, opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed it back.
Tang Yuan waved his hand, his voice low and calm: "It's alright, eat your food."
He lowered his eyes, picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, and said nothing more.
The atmosphere at the table became somewhat tense for a moment.
Tang Xiaofu sighed softly and silently added some food to her father's bowl.
........................
After finishing the meal, Lin Feng first glanced at Tang Yuan's expression. Seeing that Tang Yuan's emotions had calmed down, he took a deep breath and put down his chopsticks.
"Uncle, Sister Xiaofu, there's something I'd like to tell you."
Tang Yuan looked up at him: "What is it? Tell me."
Lin Feng considered his words carefully and said softly, "It's about Xiaorui's dream."
"A dream?" Tang Yuan frowned slightly. "You mean, the dream you shared with Xiaorui before?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded. "In my dream, besides eliminating the second personality, I also discovered some... unusual things."
