Su Fengmao’s vision blurred when he looked at the masks. He seemed to see a black mask with a complex pattern carved on it that seemed to be a mask he was most familiar with.

Su Fengmao took the mask but realized it was not what he had imagined. He was utterly confused.

‘What’s happening? Something involving a mask just came to mind. I was once familiar with masks and even wore a black one.

Su Fengmao trembled as he held the mask before instinctively wearing it. His hands trembled even more when he realized his actions.

Shen Qiuhua noticed something was wrong with her husband. His actions stunned her, too. She asked softly, “What’s wrong, dear? Do you want to buy this mask?”

She felt doubtful because her husband had never shown interest in masks. Although many people wore masks for fun during the Lantern Festival, Su Fengmao was never interested in them.

He shook his head, saying, “No, I felt this mask was familiar. I couldn’t help but come to this stall.’

He and his wife were puzzled. Shen Qiuhua looked at him hesitantly and asked, “Did you remember something? Do you have memories concerning a mask?”

Shen Qiuhua was nervous and conflicted. She did not want him to remember because she feared he would change. She wanted her husband to remain how she remembered him. Shen Qiuhua feared he was carrying a secret.

Su Fengmao looked at the mask and said, “I saw a blurry image just now—it was of a mask. It seemed to be one I often wore.’

His tone differed from how he usually spoke, seemingly more dignified. His voice was quiet and deep, with a different demeanor than usual.

Shen Qiuhua was stunned, wondering if she was imagining things. Although her husband looked the same, his demeanor appeared terrifying. Shen Qiuhua stammered, “F-Fengmao, you—”

Su Fengmao turned to look at her, asking, “What’s wrong? Why are you so pale?”

He put down the mask and held his wife’s worried face. “Why is your face so cold? You’re not even wearing your scarf properly.”

The scarf Shen Qiuhua wore was from the embroidery shop. Su Binglan had told everyone to wear it to keep warm when they left the house. After all, it was still winter.

Shen Qiuhua’s face reddened from the cold wind. She stood rooted, allowing her husband to adjust her scarf. She looked up at her husband in a daze. It was as if time had turned backward to when they were young.

Back then, Su Fengmao would care for Shen Qiuhua like this whenever they went to the market. When the older couple later had children, they were too shy to be affectionate outside.

At this moment, Shen Qiuhua looked at her husband with sparkly eyes. Su Fengmao smiled when he saw how affectionately his wife looked at him. He asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Shen Qiuhua replied, “1 just think you’re handsome.”

She remembered falling in love with him at first sight because he was handsome and charming with a unique demeanor. It gave her a sense of security.

Although the couple was older and had grandchildren, Shen Qiuhua still felt moved whenever she looked at her husband.

Su Fengmao said, “You’re gorgeous, too.”

In his eyes, Shen Qiuhua was the most beautiful woman. He felt she had stolen his heart the moment they met. The older couple recalled their childhood and smiled at each other.

“Fengmao.” Shen Qiuhua blinked.

Su Fengmao patiently asked, “Hmm? What is it?”

He had always listened to her and made decisions together. Of course, Shen Qiuhua always did her best for him. She was dutiful to her in-laws and had an excellent relationship with her family.

Moreover, Shen Qiuhua raised her children with all her heart. Her children were kind-hearted and loving, and Su Fengmao knew she had contributed much to the family.

Although he had never thanked his wife enough, he knew she had sacrificed much for him. Shen Qiuhua was also the young lady to the Shens. Her family treated her well, especially when she moved to Blossom Village.

Even so, she was not fragile. Instead, she became even more hardworking after having children with Su Fengmao. He was highly grateful for having Shen Qiuhua as his wife.

Shen Qiuhua asked, “Are you afraid of regaining your memories?”

Su Fengmao replied, “I’m not afraid because I know I can’t change it. I’m still your husband, so you and our children are the most important to me. No matter who I was or my memories, I only know who’s important. I’ll protect our family well.”

Shen Qiuhua sighed in relief upon hearing his words. She realized she had been overthinking things.

‘We’re not as young anymore, but we have children and even grandchildren. I should feel safe with him around.’

After some thought. Shen Qiuhua smiled. saving. “If you like this mask. I’ll buy it for you.”

Su Fengmao said, “There’s no need for this. You can buy whatever you like, though.”

Shen Qiuhua added, “I’m just here to have fun. I can buy you anything you want since we can afford it now. You don’t have to be too careful with money.”

On the contrary, she was frugal even though she urged her husband not to be overly cautious with money. She could not justify buying unnecessary things for herself.

Even the clothes and accessories she had were bought by her daughter.

Su Fengmao felt guilty as he held his wife’s hand, saying, “You’ve suffered so much for our family.”

“No, I don’t think I did.” Shen Qiuhua shrugged. After all, she knew her husband had done the same.

Su Fengmao was always unwilling to let Shen Qiuhua do all the housework and was very considerate of her. Suddenly, he noticed her shyness as they held hands while walking. He said, “We’ll buy and wear these masks if you’re shy to hold my hand..”
