Chapter 2798: Chapter 2798: Mistaken Identity (Part 3)

"Why do I imagine you could always be with me, but the real you only hides from me?"

Dan Tingye stared at the wooden carving that slightly resembled Meimei, several times wanting to modify her face, but in the end didn’t take the knife to it.

Fifteen years, he hadn’t seen her once, his mind was filled only with her image before she left, relying on the memory, imagining her appearance, this was his memory, a memory he wanted her to know.

He never forgot her for a single day, this safe held all his youth, all the madness belonging to his youth...

But she was indifferent.

Dan Tingye’s gaze gradually turned icy inch by inch, he took the wooden carving in his hand and returned to his desk, placing the carving on the table, his tall figure sunk into the office chair.

His gaze never left the wooden carving before him, just quietly staring, no one knew what he was thinking about.

Yao entered several times wanting to report something, but seeing his unusual expression, quietly withdrew.

Time passed without knowing how long, Dan Tingye maintained the same posture, motionless.

"Buzz buzz—"

The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Dan Tingye glanced at the incoming call, the long-held stillness finally shifted, reaching out to pick up the phone.

As soon as he pressed the answer button, he heard Youyou’s somewhat anxious voice.

"I remembered, Meimei was fine at first, it seemed after I said the wooden carving in the safe looked a lot like me, that’s when she started acting strange."

"What did you tell her?!" Dan Tingye’s dark gaze instantly sharpened, his hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.

Hearing Youyou’s words, his whole body shook violently, a flash of white light surged through his mind, too fast to catch.

"Why are you so fierce, you were just too fierce which made me unable to remember." Youyou mumbled a sentence, unable to resist asking again.

"Actually, I’m also curious, your wooden carving, at first glance, really resembles me, but after looking a bit more closely, it seems more like Meimei, who did you actually carve? And why hide it mysteriously in a safe, treating it like treasure."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Dan Tingye lowered his head to look at the wooden carving before him, his eyes slightly tensed.

The wooden carving in his hand was the latest one he sculpted, Meimei at eighteen; fifteen years apart left him knowing nothing about her appearance, he relied on imagination, sketched out her grown-up look, and indeed, it was only slightly similar to the current Meimei, she had blossomed into a greater beauty at eighteen.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes, crystal-clear sight, a delicate nose, cherry lips slightly pursed which made one want to move the whole world before her, hoping for her smile as bright as flowers.

Youyou was also a budding beauty, compared to Meimei, Youyou’s beauty carried a more enchanting wildness, full of a wildness that invited conquest.

Yet these two sisters with entirely different personalities had features somewhat akin.

Both had big eyes, high bridge of the nose, small cherry lips...

Wood carvings differed from photos, the photo clearly showed the complete difference between two people, but with wooden carvings, the features were relatively simple, at a glance, it genuinely was difficult to tell who it was.

"Didn’t you see the innermost wooden carving? The smallest one!" Dan Tingye’s deep voice carried a tension he hadn’t realized himself.
