After a long silence, Lin Haitang's gaze gradually deepened.
"You... know everything?"
ng Lang smiled.
"Forgetting is sotis the soul's ritual of breaking free... It's not just , it's you too...
You've hinted so obviously, and I'm not blind.
Besides, you know, in this world, few can hide things from us.
After all, hiding for a mont is easy, but hiding for a lifeti is hard."
He stared into the other's eyes.
"So... when did it start?"
Another long silence. "By the sea, the day you sang to ..."
"I guessed so... No wonder you've been off these past few days."
ng Lang's gaze gradually grew more complex.
"So you've... rembered everything?"
As if he saw the worry in ng Lang's eyes, the corners of Lin Haitang's mouth slightly curled up into a beautiful arc.
"No, currently it's still just a very small part, and during the long period of sealing, mory loss is almost inevitable.
So... I'm still ."
ng Lang imdiately breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he caught onto the keyword.
"Sealing? I previously thought it was so kind of mory erasure... How did you do it?"
"You can see it as a high-risk self-hypnosis."
"Hypnosis?" ng Lang was taken aback.
It was actually hypnosis?!
He really didn't expect that the "Skill Tree" Lin Haitang developed would be of this type.
But then again, she seed to have added quite a lot of points to the "doctor" profession skills, a psychologist... is also a doctor, right?
And it aligns well with schizophrenia...
Wait! So...
Many things that Little Haitang couldn't do after losing her mory might be explained...
"So you're saying that book is..."
"Yes! Through psychological suggestion, when my mother saw specific years and dates, it would activate the command and send the package to the address I wrote."
There could even be an alarm clock set...
"Then why this year? Wouldn't it be better a little earlier?"
This way, they would have more ti to plan...
"Because around the age of 25, the human brain's developnt is considered fully mature, and thus more resilient.
This is true for both you and .
So even if I need to awaken, it must be after this age."
"I see..."
ng Lang's gaze was slightly complex.
"So all of this was part of your plan?"
"Of course not. The 'future' is created by both you and ; it doesn't solely depend on .
Once you got the book, the future was beyond my precise prediction...
Moreover, the ntal world is far more perilous than you imagine, and I admit there was an elent of gambling... I was even prepared for never being able to wake up.
But now it seems, my gamble paid off..."
"Hmm..."
ng Lang didn't doubt Lin Haitang's words.
According to reading the book once, the future changes once, and he had experienced several tens of worlds.
Yet until today, Lin Haitang only "awoke" by chance and coincidence for the first ti.
The probability of such an "awakening" truly isn't very high...
"Then..."
"You've asked so many questions, isn't it my turn to ask now?"
"Uh... Sure, what do you want to ask?"
"Is the book still there?"
ng Lang was montarily stunned, then realized she wanted to confirm whether he was "inside the book" or "outside the book"...
"It's still there."
"I see... That's good, it seems we're still 'observers'."
"Observers?"
"Yes... Do you know the 'observer paradox'?"
"What's that?"
"There's a bizarre phenonon in quantum chanics, which is that 'observation' affects results; when you're not observing, particles behave as waves, but when you observe, particles behave as particles again.
It's the act of 'observation' that causes the wave function to collapse, turning the entire system from a superposition into a definite state.
Similar experints include 'Schrodinger's cat'.
If 'observation' can influence reality, then the universe you just observed, is it the real universe? Or is it a parallel universe shaped by our 'observation'?
If our world only becos real when it's 'observed'...
Perhaps this book is the 'variable' that is 'being observed'."
Hmm... this ng Lang understood.
Just as Schrodinger had a cat.
ng Xiaolang had a book.
Schrodinger's cat makes people guess whether it's dead or alive.
ng Xiaolang's book makes people guess whether it has been updated or not...
Without the book, it implies one cannot "observe," and the world will proceed along a predetermined path.
And the mont it is opened, this 'observation' act decides that this world will evolve towards another 'determinate state' future...
"Yes, we're lucky to still be observers..."
Then he smiled, "But since you have already awakened, then I, as the 'temporary observer,' should return it to its rightful owner..."
ng Lang didn't say this as re courtesy.
He considers himself soone who knows how to be content, who has been able to change his Miserable Life and reach a height unimaginable to most people. What more could he want?
Furthermore, after going through so many ups and downs, the two of them are already as one.
As long as it allows the two of them to go further, solve external threats, and ensure the future of this world no longer sees constant warfare or falls into a dark era.
Then who looks, who writes... doesn't matter at all to him!
Looking into ng Lang's eyes, with that indifferent deanor, it was as if what he was returning wasn't a world-class treasure, but an eraser borrowed from a desk mate...
Lin Haitang's eyes curved, and in her clear gaze was only the reflection of ng Lang...
"You're still so naïve..."
ng Lang imdiately laughed, "Who says I'm dumb! I'm sharp, after all. The book is still yours, but you are mine. Would you say I've hit the jackpot?
Unless... you want to leave ?"
Lin Haitang's fingers gripping ng Lang's clothes suddenly tightened...
"Leave? I've waited so long, how could I leave?
When I was six, I couldn't help but go to Beihu to find you. Do you know how reluctant I was to leave?
I so wished to just stay and not miss even your childhood or youth...
So say waiting for soone is the most painful thing.
Others say forgetting soone is the most painful.
But do you know? My pain is having to wait and forget at the sa ti..."
A shimr of tears appeared in Lin Haitang's eyes, looking at him with what seed to be endless affection and longing.
ng Lang's heart trembled at those eyes, and he tightened his hold on Lin Haitang unconsciously.
However, just as the mood was reaching its peak and ng Lang wanted to say sothing...
"Ugh~ ng Xiaolang... you jerk... stealing our family's leg technique manual... idiot... ugh..."
"Uh..." ng Lang felt a bit awkward then.
Just getting all cozy with the wife and soone says sothing like that... really ssed up the mood.
But then it suddenly dawned upon him.
Wait a minute! The one who "brought the wrong person into the room" seems to be my own wife…
Shouldn't it be who's awkward?
"I say... since you're so reluctant to part from , why do sothing like this?"
Originally, I thought Yan Weiwei was the main culprit and Lin Haitang at most complicit.
Never expected I'd completely misunderstood it all...
From the beginning to end, it was this guy plotting!
Lin Haitang's eyes montarily showed a guilty conscience, but soon she blinked innocently.
"I just wanted everyone to be happy...
And besides... sharing my most beloved toy with my best friend, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Er..." ng Lang was rendered speechless with anger.
Can she really say it so righteously?
Just now she was discussing quantum physics with , and now she's playing the kindergarten kid?
This is just being shaless!
"Is the problem I'm a toy? Can I be shared like that?
And I rember you, because of family reasons, weren't you the one who hated such third parties the most?"
Lin Haitang instead blinked even more innocently, staring at ng Lang for a long ti...
"But... who said she's the third party?"
If not, she's not the third party, am I?
ng Lang was about to retort but suddenly paused.
"Uh..."
Wait! There's a lot of information in that sentence, my mind's a bit mixed up, let straighten it out...
Because of family reasons, before knowing him, Lin Haitang was a "non-marriage" believer and had a negative initial impression of the opposite sex...
So if there's a high school confidante who went through thick and thin together...
According to the tiline, she definitely t Yan Weiwei before she t ...
Hiss...
So... the joke's on ?
At this mont, ng Lang suddenly felt very anxious inside...
Yes, since he can have two emotional lines, why can't she too...
"Since... since that's the case, I just can't agree so hastily, at least... at least have to ask the party involved for consent..."
"Do you think with Weiwei's awkward personality, she'd agree?"
"Then... then we can think of another win-win solution..."
"Too troubleso."
"What?"
"When was the last ti you read a book?"
Lin Haitang's sudden leap in topic caught ng Lang off guard.
He instinctively replied, "Yesterday."
Lin Haitang suddenly laughed, a sly smile, completely different from before...
The light in the living room shone in her bright eyes, exceptionally bright...
"You say there aren't many who can hide things from you.
So why do you think you didn't even know about my hypnotism?"
ng Lang froze.
Yes, even in the last episode there was a way to deal with the "nest," but there was no ntion of Haitang knowing hypnotism...
Wait!
Could it be... that the "book version" of was...
His heart skipped a beat, just as he wanted to push the fragile body in his arms away, at that very mont, he was t with a pair of whirlpool-like eyes, seemingly consuming his entire being.
"You..."
"Have a good dream..."
Just before losing consciousness, everything suddenly made sense to him.
Why wasn't the light on in the room?
Why was the door slightly ajar, casting the living room light perfectly onto Lin Haitang's face, making those watery eyes appear extrely bright?
Why did she talk to him for so long and those eyes never left him...
Hypnotic environnt? ntal suggestion?
From when did it start...
Could it be from the very beginning...
Yes, she is also an "observer," there's no reason she'd forget she has mods, able to foresee tonight's "plot."
Yet she still chose to act like this...
Because she knew she'd be found out.
And she never planned to ask for my opinion...
This was a definite forced play...
Damn, Haitang you really have changed, this scheming girl...
The last thought flashed by, and his consciousness blurred as if slipping into a wonderful dream.
In the warm ocean, in a daze, there seed to appear two Haitangs in front of him...
Then turned into two Weiweis...
Finally soaring continuously into the clouds...
