chapter29：cozy

Amy took out the small tea set and handed it to the little boy, saying, "Little friend, you can try to touch this." The little boy obediently touched the tea set. After a while, his eyes regained their luster and he said happily, "Sister, I remember now. I also came to the villa party."

Jack frowned and said, "Now we have found some companions, but we still don't know how many people we need to find in total." Just as they were talking, a bell suddenly rang in the inn. The bell was dull and long, as if urging them to speed up. Lucy said anxiously, "Oh no, there may not be much time left." Hearing this, they hurriedly quickened their pace and shuttled through the inn, continuing to look for other companions.

In the hall of the inn, they saw a group of people sitting around a table, with a confused look on each face. Amy stepped forward and asked loudly, "Are you also trapped here?" One of them replied, "We don't know what happened either. It seems that we suddenly lost a lot of memories. All we remember is that we should be at the villa party."

Amy began to look around the hall for the tea set. Soon, she found a special tea set placed on the table. The patterns on these tea sets seemed to be telling a story. Amy studied these patterns carefully. After a while, she said惊喜地, "Everyone, come quickly. I think this is very important." Hearing Amy's words, everyone gathered around. Amy pointed at the patterns on the tea set and said, "Look, these patterns seem to be telling the story of the butler's family fighting against aliens, and at the end of the story, there seems to be a clue to solve all the puzzles."

Just then, the butler's voice rang in Amy's mind again, "Miss Amy, you have done very well. Now you need to place these tea sets in the correct order. In this way, you can solve the final puzzle, let everyone regain their memories and return to the villa." Amy relayed the butler's words to everyone, "The butler said that we need to place these tea sets in the correct order so that we can solve the final puzzle, let everyone regain their memories and then return to the villa." Everyone nodded and then they began to try to place these tea sets together.

After one attempt after another, finally, when the last tea set was placed correctly, a dazzling light shot up into the sky, and the light quickly enveloped the entire inn. In the light, everyone's memories were fully restored. Everyone suddenly realized why they were trapped here and the tragic experience of the butler's family.

The light gradually dissipated, and they found that they had returned to the villa. The butler was standing at the entrance of the villa with a gratified smile on his face. The butler smiled and said, "Thank you. You have succeeded." Amy stepped forward and asked, "What about those aliens now? Will they come back again?" The butler shook his head and said, "No. While you were solving the puzzle, you also broke the alien's curse on this place. Everything is back to normal now." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the elegant female painter David said excitedly, "Wow, I have become physicist David again." As he said this, he held a paintbrush and gestured in the air as if depicting the just - disappeared darkness, and muttered to himself, "This is really a wonderful experience."

The fitness muscle man Hailun was惊喜地 to find that she had become a female doctor again. She looked at her body excitedly and said, "Great, finally changed back. This feeling is really good."

The fashion female model Tim also became an architect again. He touched his face happily and said, "It's still the most practical to be myself, haha."

They returned to the living room, and at this time, the living room was decorated as a colorful ballroom. ... Hailun smiled and said to everyone, "Since that's the case, let's happily pull our companions and dance." Everyone responded one after another and danced merrily.

The butler walked up to Amy with a smile, handed her a silver - bronze mirror, and said, "Miss Amy, this is a reward for you. Thank you for everything you have done for everyone." Amy took the silver - bronze mirror and said gratefully, "Thank you, butler. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." ...

The butler turned around to prepare the car to send everyone away from the villa. However, not long after, the butler ran back in a hurry with a trace of anxiety on his face, "Miss Amy, for some reason, the bridge down the mountain is broken, and the car can't pass. It seems that everyone has to stay in the villa for one more night." Amy frowned, "How could this be? It's too sudden." The butler shrugged helplessly, "I'm not quite sure either. Maybe there are still some unstable factors left from the previous alien influence. But it doesn't matter. I will arrange accommodation and dinner for everyone."

David's eyes lit up when he heard this news, "Since we can't leave, why don't we hold a fireworks - barbecue dinner in the back garden of the villa? It can also be regarded as a celebration of our successful recovery of memories and the lifting of the crisis." This proposal was unanimously agreed upon.

Soon, the back garden became lively. The food on the barbecue grill sizzled and emitted an inviting aroma. Fireworks bloomed into gorgeous flowers in the night sky, and the colorful lights reflected on everyone's faces. They sat around, eating delicious barbecue and chatting happily.

David began to tell some interesting creative experiences when he was a female painter: "Do you know? When I was a painter, my perspective of looking at the world was different. Every color was like a living elf, and I tried to capture their souls on the canvas. Once, in order to paint a sunrise scene, I waited on the top of the mountain for three days and three nights just for that perfect moment of color."

Hailun smiled and said, "It sounds really interesting. But when I was a fitness muscle man, I was thinking about how to make my muscles more shapely every day. I'm not as artistic as you. I just remember sweating in the gym every day and dealing with those heavy equipment."

Tim also joined the conversation, "When I was a model, I had to pay attention to my image all the time. Every pose had to be practiced repeatedly. That feeling was really tiring. It's more comfortable to be an architect again and be able to construct various buildings according to my own ideas."

Lucy gently touched Jack's arm and whispered, "Jack, you haven't told your story yet." Jack was a little hesitant, and then slowly began, "My family... When I was a child, my father disappeared. I never knew where he went. My younger brother and sister also passed away due to some accidents. I'm the only one left. So I'm interested in the occult, always thinking that maybe I can find clues about my family from those mysterious things."

Lucy's eyes were full of sympathy and admiration, "Jack, you must have been through a lot. But you are so brave to explore the unknown now. I think you are really amazing." Jack smiled a little shyly, "Thank you, Lucy. Actually, sometimes I'm also very confused and don't know if what I'm doing is meaningful."

Lucy looked at him firmly, "Of course it is meaningful. Look, didn't we solve such a big puzzle today? Maybe in this process, you will gradually find clues about your family."

Amy was listening to their conversation on the side, and she was also wondering about what Jack said. She always felt that there seemed to be some deeper connection in it, but she couldn't say exactly what it was.

As the night grew deeper, everyone's conversation became more and more relaxed and pleasant. Hailun smiled and said, "Let's play a game. Each person tells their most unforgettable memory."

David said first, "Then let me start. My most unforgettable memory is when I successfully completed a large - scale painting for the first time. That sense of accomplishment was like I had created a brand - new world."

Hailun continued, "My most unforgettable memory is when I successfully treated a seriously ill patient. Seeing him regain his health, the joy was indescribable."

Tim thought for a while and said, "My most unforgettable memory is when the first building I designed was completed. Watching my idea turn into a real building, that feeling was really wonderful."

It was Jack's turn, and he said, "My most unforgettable memory is the process of solving the puzzle with everyone today. I feel that I'm no longer alone."

Lucy's face blushed slightly, "My most unforgettable memory is the time spent with everyone in the villa. Every moment is full of surprises and touches."

Amy said, "My most unforgettable memory is also today. We overcame so many difficulties together. This united power makes me very touched."

Everyone was sharing their memories while continuing to enjoy the dinner.

David suddenly stood up and took Hailun's hand, "Come, let's dance. How can such a beautiful night be without dancing?" Hailun smiled and stood up, dancing gracefully with David under the fireworks.

Tim also extended his hand to Lucy, "Miss Lucy, may I ask you to dance?" Lucy stood up shyly and joined Tim in the dance floor.

Jack watched Lucy's back and a complex emotion welled up in his heart. He turned to Amy and said, "Amy, do you think Lucy has a crush on Tim?" Amy smiled and said, "I'm not sure either. But Lucy is a very lovely girl, and everyone likes her." Jack sighed slightly, "Yes, she is really special."

Amy looked at Jack and said softly, "Jack, do you have special feelings for Lucy?" Jack's face turned red all of a sudden, "I... I don't know. All I know is that I care a lot about her thoughts." Amy smiled, "I think if you like her, you can appropriately express your feelings." Jack was hesitant, "I'm afraid she doesn't like me, and in this situation, I don't know how to say it either." Amy encouraged, "It doesn't matter. Sometimes being brave may bring unexpected gains."

At this time, the butler came over and said to Amy, "Miss Amy, can I have a few words with you alone?" Amy was a little puzzled, but still followed the butler to one side.

The butler looked at Amy, with a trace of gratitude and deep meaning in his eyes, "Miss Amy, you have really done very well today. Actually, you may not remember. Many years ago, you helped a little boy. That little boy was lost in the forest at that time, hungry and scared. It was you who found him, gave him food, and led him out of the forest."

Amy looked at the butler in surprise, "Did I do such a thing? I don't remember it at all." The butler smiled slightly, "Maybe it's because today's events are too complicated and your memory hasn't fully recovered yet. That little boy was me. Since then, I have been looking for an opportunity to repay you. Today, seeing you working so hard to help everyone, I'm really touched."

Amy suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I just did what I should do. However, you are helping everyone now, which is also a great way of repayment." The butler shook his head, "It's not enough. I hope I can still have the opportunity to repay you in the future." Amy smiled, "Actually, you don't need to care so much. Today, everyone being able to solve the problem together is the best result."

They talked for a while longer and then returned to everyone. At this time, the dance was still going on, and the fireworks were still blooming in the night sky. Everyone's laughter and chatter echoed in the back garden of the villa. This night was full of an ambiguous and warm atmosphere, as if all the troubles had been left behind, leaving only the wonderful time in front of them.

David said to Hailun while dancing, "Do you know? When you were a fitness muscle man, you looked very powerful, completely different from your current gentle female doctor image." Hailun smiled and replied, "Haha, at that time I just wanted to make myself look stronger. Now I think this gentle state is also very good. What about you? When you were a painter, did you have any special sources of creative inspiration?" David thought for a while, "Yes. Sometimes I get inspiration from nature. A blooming flower, a falling leaf, can all become elements in my paintings. When you were treating patients, did you encounter any particularly difficult cases?" Hailun nodded, "Of course. Once I encountered a patient with a rare disease. We almost consulted all the materials and tried various treatment methods before finally curing him. At that time, I really felt a lot of pressure, but also a great sense of accomplishment."

Tim said to Lucy while dancing, "Lucy, the dress you are wearing today is really beautiful and suits you very well." Lucy said shyly, "Thank you. I found it in the villa. I thought it was very characteristic so I put it on. When you were a model, did you often wear all kinds of gorgeous clothes?" Tim smiled and said, "Yes, but most of the time those clothes were not comfortable to wear, just for the display effect. It's more comfortable like this now." Lucy asked curiously, "Does the architecture you design have any special styles?" Tim's eyes lit up, "I prefer the modern minimalist style, simple but also magnificent. I hope my architecture can give people a comfortable and natural feeling."

Jack watched Lucy and Tim dancing and felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He said to Amy, "Amy, I think I'm a little jealous of Tim." Amy said softly, "Jack, don't think too much. If you really like Lucy, you can wait until they finish dancing and then invite her." Jack was a little nervous, "But I'm afraid I'll mess it up." Amy encouraged, "No, you should believe in yourself. Look, we solved so many puzzles today. If we can do such a difficult thing, what's so difficult about inviting Lucy to dance?" Jack took a deep breath, "You're right. I should be brave."

After David and Hailun finished dancing, they sat down to rest. David said to Hailun, "Have you ever thought that there will be such a wonderful experience in the future?" Hailun shook her head, "I think one such experience is enough. But if there really is, I think I will also face it bravely. What about you?" David smiled and said, "I hope there can be some new adventures. Maybe it can bring more inspiration to my creation."

The butler watched everyone on the side and said to Amy, "Miss Amy, seeing everyone so happy, I also feel very gratified. I hope they can all live a peaceful life in the future." Amy said, "Yes, everyone has experienced a lot today. But also because of these experiences, everyone's feelings have become deeper. Just like steel tempered by fire, it has become more tenacious." ...

At this time, the music changed to a melodious tune, and the rhythm became slow and emotional. Jack finally summoned up his courage and walked up to Lucy and Tim. He said nervously to Tim, "Tim, may I dance with Lucy?" Tim smiled and nodded, letting go of Lucy's hand, "Of course. Have a nice dance with Miss Lucy."

Lucy's face blushed slightly. She looked at Jack, with a hint of surprise and expectation in her eyes. Jack extended his hand, and Lucy gently placed hers on it. The two stepped into the dance floor. Jack stammered, "Lucy, you are really charming today." Lucy's heart beat fast, and she whispered, "Thank you, Jack. You are also very brave today."

Jack looked into Lucy's eyes, "Lucy, actually I... I have always cared about you. Since we met in the villa, you have been like a beam of light shining into my life." Lucy's face turned even redder, "Jack, I also like the time spent with you."

Jack was ecstatic in his heart. He gently pulled Lucy a little closer, "Lucy, I want to be with you in the future, whether it is exploring mysterious things or living an ordinary life." Lucy shyly lowered her head, "Okay, Jack."

On the other side of the dance floor, David saw this scene and said to Hailun, "Look, Jack finally summoned up his courage. Youth is really good. Love is always so beautiful and pure." Hailun smiled and said, "Yes, they look very well - matched. I hope they can be so happy all the time."

Amy looked at Jack and Lucy and also showed a gratified smile. The butler walked up to her and said softly, "Miss Amy, love is like the fireworks in this night, beautiful and gorgeous. I hope their love can be like this villa, able to stand the test of time." Amy turned to look at the butler, "Butler, you seem to be very touched. Do you have someone you like?" The butler's eyes flashed a hint of loneliness, "I... I have been busy dealing with the affairs of the villa and guarding the family's secrets. I haven't had time to consider these things yet. But seeing them like this, I also feel very warm in my heart."
