Luo Wei smiled and added a piece of cut chicken to Tilis's plate, and also served her a lot of food.
"Luo Wei, I can't eat any more..." Tilis said helplessly, raising her head.
“Eat more to grow.” Luo Wei casually replied.
“What am I supposed to grow?” Tilis looked at him, bewildered.
Luo Wei glanced at her chest and quickly looked away.
Hmm, there’s some potential, but just a little...
At least better than Helena, ranking second to last.
Tilis obviously knew what Luo Wei had just been looking at. She paused for a moment, then her entire face quickly flushed red.
“Creep...”
She pinched Luo Wei's thigh under the table in a mock rage.
Luo Wei easily caught her hand and whispered into her ear, “If you ever learn some body-shaping life magic in the future, remember to give yourself a bigger one~”
“What life magic?” Tilis looked up, confused.
“You’ll understand someday~” Luo Wei winked. “And remember! Make it a little bigger, I'm not greedy, just a little bit bigger will do!”
“You scoundrel! What on earth are you talking about!!” Tilis covered her ears in embarrassment, really not wanting to talk to Luo Wei anymore.
Although the pair didn’t know what the other was talking about, their playful banter as a couple brought a knowing smile to the older women.
Old Granny looked at Luo Wei and then at the blushing Tilis, smiling affectionately. “Being young is wonderful. My husband and I were just like you two back then. We stuck together every day, practically inseparable...”
Luo Wei couldn’t help but look at a photo frame on the shelf, which contained a family photo of Old Granny’s family. It showed her sons who hadn’t returned home for the New Year, and her husband.
In that instant, Luo Wei seemed to understand something.
The lively dinner continued. Old Granny began telling Tilis the story of how she and her husband had courted in their younger days. Back then, there were no loud, smoky factories, and life moved at a slower pace. The era provided a simpler, more beautiful time for love...
Tilis listened intently, sometimes covering her mouth with a look of concern as Old Granny shared the hardships of her younger years.
Despite all the difficulties, the lovers eventually united.
“If you meet someone you like, never let go, and never disappoint them.”
“In these times, finding someone you truly love is really not easy...”
As Tilis listened, she unconsciously glanced at Luo Wei.
The guy seemed to be lost in thought, completely unaware of the conversation...
Luo Wei was also listening to Old Granny’s story, but the photo had taken his mind back to an earlier time.
He remembered seeing that family photo in the newspaper.
Back then, he hadn’t gone to the seaside town yet, nor had he reunited with Tilis. The newspaper had reported on a family that had suffered in the chaos of the lower city.
All the members of the family in their teens had died in an out-of-control magic crystal explosion, becoming sacrifices for those behind the scenes who had summoned an evil god to create chaos.
Even compared to other tragedies, Old Granny’s family’s suffering was too difficult to bear, so it appeared in a corner of that day’s newspaper.
Ironically, Luo Wei had been on the front page at the time.
He silently looked at the affectionate granny who held Tilis’s hand as if she were her own granddaughter.
No wonder they had such rich emotions and experiences. This family had once been real.
The Dreamlands had reconstructed this family based on the information Luo Wei had unconsciously retained from the newspaper.
“Luo Wei...”
Luo Wei returned to the present, noticing Tilis looking at him with a pleading expression.
At that moment, Old Granny resembled the aunts who pressured people to get married during the New Year back in the real world...
“When are you two getting married?”
The women also started gossiping, “Yes, yes! When are you getting married?”
“Marriage?”
Luo Wei and Tilis exchanged a glance, and Tilis looked bewildered.
She had never thought about such matters.
Marriage and normal life seemed distant to her. Besides, she still had many unfulfilled dreams, and her research hadn’t made any progress yet...
Seeing Tilis’s confusion, Old Granny leaned in and whispered to her.
“Listen, if you meet a good man, you must act fast! If you let someone else take him, you’ll regret it later!”
Tilis blinked, “Is that so...?”
Old Granny nodded seriously. “Of course! I can see this young man is quite handsome and must have a lot of admirers.”
Tilis gasped, “Probably...”
“See, I told you!” Old Granny glanced at Luo Wei and quickly gave Tilis advice. “He seems like a nice guy, but watch out—he’s probably got some charming ways about him. You’d better keep a close eye on him!”
Luo Wei’s eyebrows twitched at the comment. What did she mean by “keep an eye on”?
Tilis nodded, half-understanding. “Don’t worry, Granny. I’ll definitely keep him close.”
Luo Wei frowned, suddenly feeling like the master of this Dreamland was being tricked by his own subconscious.
In the warm atmosphere of festivities, the New Year’s Eve dinner quietly drew to a close.
Everyone heard the New Year’s bell ringing from the east side of the city.
With the bell’s chime came the new year. In the cozy room, various blessings were exchanged—children giving their elders blessings, and the elders returning them with blessings for all.
Old Granny knew her two guests wouldn’t stay the night, and that they would soon leave.
She gazed tenderly at Tilis. “I don’t know why, but I feel such a connection with you, a girl your age. Before you leave, let me give you a blessing.”
Tilis’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded with a smile.
“I’m not very good with well-crafted words,” Old Granny said softly, smiling. “Then, I wish you can achieve your ideals and that all your efforts will be rewarded.”
Tilis smiled joyfully. “Thank you, Granny.”
This was likely the best blessing she could receive as a researcher.
Old Granny then looked at Luo Wei. “And you, young man, you’d better hurry up! I truly hope I can see the day you two get married. Be sure to invite me when that day comes!”
Luo Wei looked at her expectant gaze, feeling a bit nostalgic.
Old Granny wouldn’t live to see that day, as she had already passed away.
But he still replied, “Granny, I promise.”
Although they were just illusions, the emotions at this moment were very real.
Old Granny finally smiled contentedly.
After bidding farewell to Old Granny and her family, Luo Wei and Tilis walked home through the snow.
Luo Wei occasionally looked at her rosy cheeks.
Though she hadn’t said much, it was clear her mood was exceptional, her lips curling into a faint smile.
Such an ordinary yet blissful day was probably something she had never experienced before.
Luo Wei held her hand and said with a smile,
“The world isn’t as bad as we imagine, is it?”
He looked at Tilis anxiously after speaking.
Tilis nodded, smiling brightly. “Yes.”
Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if it’s only valuable after losing it,
Before losing it, she must first have it.
Everything was heading in a good direction. The next step was to figure out how to awaken her...

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
