106. Assumptions(1/2)
"Your hand rushing is done well," Chen Yekai said.
"I learned from you." Yu Hao smiled.
Chen Yekai used to work in a cafe in New York, and was a Samsung barista. The skills that Yu Hao learned in Huafang Coffee were simply slack in front of Chen Yekai. He learned a little from him, but he was barely disliked by Chen Yekai.
"The teacher who taught me how to make hand-brewing said," said Chen Yekai. "Making coffee is like falling in love. Every cup of coffee has its own unique flavor. No two cups of coffee are exactly the same."
Yu Hao had a premonition that Chen Yekai might have changed his mind, and they raised their eyes almost at the same time and looked at each other.
Yu Hao moved the filter paper, gently shook the glass dish, and said, "I don't think you are here to teach me how to make coffee today, or to mark the key points of the final exam for me."
"Of course not." Chen Yekai said, "I have nothing to teach you anymore, but I want to ask you to teach me."
Chen Yekai took the coffee and Yu Hao said, "If you like it, say it."
Chen Yekai was stunned, stared at Yu Hao, and then realized something and laughed.
"No." Chen Yekai said, "You misunderstood, Yu Hao. But I came here today and really wanted to explain a few words to you about that child... well..."
Yu Hao looked puzzled. Chen Yekai touched his nose, took a sip of coffee, and pondered: "I have no interest in Ou Qihang, and I try to convince Zhou Sheng that the reason why I enter the doomsday dream has a purpose. I don't think I have to hide this from you... Yu Hao, Ou Qihang's father is dead."
"Yes." Yu Hao asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"The dead occasionally reappears in the dreams of the living." Chen Yekai said, "There is no need to doubt this."
Yu Hao wanted to speak but stopped. He probably understood what Chen Yekai meant. The next topic might be related to Long Sheng. He wanted to persuade Chen Yekai not to think about these things anymore, but he forced himself to hold back. After all, Chen Yekai is a very smart person, not paranoid or mentally ill. As a member of psychology, all he needs to do at this time is to listen and listen tirelessly, instead of interrupting Chen Yekai and giving him any advice arbitrarily.
"Yes." Yu Hao replied.
Chen Yekai made an action, while still thinking: "I think, maybe in Ou Qihang's dream, we will also find such a situation. His late father appeared in his impression and had a conversation with him."
"It really appeared." Yu Hao replied, "So what?"
Yu Hao was very patient. He began to gradually feel that Chen Yekai would come to him to discuss this topic, which really gave him great trust.
Chen Yekai tapped the table gently with his fingers, and Yu Hao added: "I once saw my grandmother in my dreams."
"Well..." Chen Yekai said, "So can we understand that the Golden Crow Wheel has the ability to allow the deceased to live in another person's spiritual world in some form of a changed form?"
Yu Hao didn't speak for a long time.
Chen Yekai said: "Just like the saying 'He lives in my heart', what we have retained are many memories we have been together. Based on these memories, a person's image and incomplete soul are reproduced..."
Yu Hao said: "Teacher Chen, my next words are just discussions. I don't want to persuade you to go out of the past or something. In fact, if this kind of thing falls on me, I will not be able to do it. People are just talking lightly..."
Chen Yekai laughed, made a gesture, and replied, "I understand what you mean."
Yu Hao said: "But this kind of person who is 'simulated' with our spirit is never the real person. Of course, for us, it is okay to talk about hypnosis and comfort, but it is best not to indulge."
Chen Yekai suddenly said, "What if the person who exists in our memory is the real him?"
Yu Hao: "..."
"It's just an idea." Chen Yekai replied.
Yu Hao said: "Do you believe there are souls in the world?"
Chen Yekai said: "Since I learned this secret, I often imagine that if we leave all our memories and impressions and independent thinking in this device through the Golden Crow Wheel, will we completely enter the dream world and gain the qualification to live and continue our lives in another way?"
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the sun shone into the room, but Yu Hao suddenly felt a little chill on his back.
Chen Yekai said: "Last night, besides the two guesses of consciousness alternators and entertainment systems, I had a third guess. Do you want to hear it?"
Yu Hao said: "Why don't you... say this to Zhou Sheng?"
Chen Yekai straddled the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, and his eyes were filled with inexplicable taste, and he looked at Yu Hao.
"Zhou Sheng will only let me not think about anything, let me put it down and walk out." Chen Yekai took a sip of coffee and his eyebrows were deeply locked, "But what I think is, Yu Hao, you can understand my mood."
As he said that, Chen Yekai pondered again: "Once I think too much, Zhou Sheng may be based on the starting point of helping me, just like eliminating Ou Qihang's memory, making me forget these things."
Yu Hao thought that this is true, your concerns are not completely unreasonable, but even if you tell me, I can't do much for you.
"What is the third guess?" Yu Hao finally asked.
"A device that separates the body from the brain waves," Chen Yekai said. "In interstellar voyage, the body needs to sleep, that is, 'dream', and the spirit still needs to move. So you can treat it as a 'conscious memory', or a 'soul box', or some kind of 'horoscope'."
Yu Hao immediately said, "Don't talk anymore, it's a bit scary."
Chen Yekai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You are the only one who really met Longsheng in my dream. I think you may be able to judge..."
Yu Hao was greatly shocked. He couldn't help but stand up and walked a few steps by the dining table to calm down: "That's just your nostalgia for Long Sheng, which has built an impression that tends to be true..."
"Yes." Chen Yekai said, "So I'm always looking for something. I don't know that Long Sheng has done this, but he shows you. This is the only evidence that proves that he is a soul rather than a memory. Just like your 'swimming' in my dream..."
"Stop talking!" Yu Hao's hair stood up and said, "Teacher Chen!"
Chen Yekai had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little sad, and he said, "Don't be afraid, he is my lover."
Yu Hao thought it was true. If this happened, Long Sheng would be a ghost to him, but a lover to Chen Yekai.
"How could you think of such a strange thing going on?" Yu Hao said.
"I have discussed it with my junior brother for a long time." Chen Yekai said, "After all, a civilization has to navigate the vast universe for hundreds or even thousands of years before it can find another planet with intelligent life. The existence of the Golden Crow Wheel proves that the spacecraft of these people must be composed of matter. It is impossible for matter to exceed the speed of light, or even reach the speed of light. This is the limit of technology..."
“…Isn’t it reasonable to make a bold guess that it is to separate the body and consciousness during the voyage?”
Yu Hao made a meaningless gesture, and Chen Yekai said again: "I don't want to mention this speculation to Zhou Sheng, you should be able to understand."
Yu Hao said: "There is no secret between us."
Chen Yekai nodded and said, "So, let it be for you?"
Yu Hao thought to himself that you have thrown this problem to me now, it’s really hateful.
"Then what do you want me to do for you?" Yu Hao said, "Does the dragon life in your memory be the real dragon life?"
Chen Yekai spread his hands and replied, "I don't know what I want." He said, and laughed again: "Just treat it as a lonely person, to the archangel, in a sense of confession. If there is the truth in the world, then I think it will always be revealed one day. Let's go to class?"
Yu Hao had eaten the breakfast Chen Yekai brought him and was always thinking about it. Chen Yekai's meaning was just "talk", and he didn't want to be eliminated by Zhou Sheng's memory. Yu Hao knew that Zhou Sheng had always had an inexplicable fear of the Golden Crow Wheel, which was a fear of the power he could not control. Now he finally gave up this idea for a while and raised the old things would only cause trouble. He was not sure whether he would have a good talk with Zhou Sheng.
But in the final analysis, this was still a guess from Chen Yekai. Ou Qihang's incident finally came to an end, and he completely forgot about Chen Yekai. During this period, Huang Ting also called them to confirm the incident, but Ou Qihang could not remember all the past.
"Do you want to eliminate Kaikai's memory?" Yu Hao asked Zhou Sheng privately.
Zhou Sheng said: "No, what's wrong?"
Yu Hao shook his head and tied his shoelaces next to the three-person basketball court.
Zhou Sheng said: "You have something to worry about recently, your wife."
Yu Hao said: "If I did something stupid on the court, you must wipe my memory..."
Zhou Sheng said laughing and cryingly: "I never want to use it in front of you, but I just don't want you to think that I will disappear your memory at any time. We have quarreled, have I done this?"
Fu Liqun came over and said, "Babys, are you ready? Come on! Come on!"
The three of them put their hands together, and the whistle sounded outside. Entering the court, January came, and the three-person basketball game began.
The lights made Yu Hao a little dizzy, and he felt particularly unfamiliar when he came on stage, but Zhou Sheng said, "Don't be nervous! We're there!"
Yu Hao dribbled the ball and passed it to Fu Liqun. The sound of the basketball hitting the ground was like a heavy drum hitting his heart. There was an uproar in the audience around him. Fu Liqun quickly dribbled the ball past the person and dunked it!
Yu Hao was dumbfounded. Fu Liqun's first score caused crazy cheers from the audience. They had previously formulated tactics, practiced, and competed with classmates. They were always playing games. It was not until they really went to the court that Yu Hao realized that their team seemed to be very strong!
Zhou Sheng turned around, grabbed the ball with a cool snatch, and said to Yu Hao: "I'm still nervous?"
Yu Hao was wearing a headband and his forehead was full of sweat. The other party knew that he was the weakest part of their team, so he didn't take him seriously at all, and just focused on intercepting Fu Liqun. Fu Liqun made several gestures with both hands, Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao each held their own positions, Yu Hao was ready, Zhou Sheng suddenly passed the ball, and Yu Hao shot the basket from outside the three-point line and hit it!
The strength is too disparity. The opponent's team is also amateur and not enough for the three of them to play. Zhou Sheng came over to slap Yu Hao, and each turned around. Fu Liqun pointed to the ground and the rebound, which meant that the threat was lifted, just play whatever you want.
Yu Hao was led by Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun in the cheers. In the end, the opponent was suppressed by a large score. The opponent came up to shake hands one by one, and ended.
Yu Hao: "..."
"Sister-in-law?" Zhou Sheng asked in the lounge.
"She waited for the top 16 before seeing her." Fu Liqun changed her socks, and Yu Hao was still gasping. His biggest problem was that his physical strength was not as strong as Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun. Zhou Sheng touched his head, kissed his forehead, and said, "Wife, run a few less steps, and said, don't be too excited."
Yu Hao waved his hand and poured water on it. After Fu Liqun finished the basketball game, he was like Zhou Sheng and he was fine. Everyone went home to review and prepare for the final exam.
The three-person basketball game should have started during the winter vacation, but the organizer somehow advanced the match period. There were six games in the semi-finals, one every three days, and Yu Hao had to review the final exam. At night, Zhou Sheng used Yu Hao's computer to browse the web page, Fu Liqun memorized public classes, and Yu Hao sorted out the statistical notes Zhou Sheng had given him.
The dining table was filled with warm yellow lights, and everyone was quiet, only Zhou Sheng’s voice with an apple mouse and Fu Liqun’s voice insinuation.
Yu Hao raised his head from the notes and glanced at them.
Fu Liqun: "?"
Zhou Sheng glanced at Yu Hao and asked, "Are you hungry? Make you a late-night snack?"
Yu Hao shook his head and laughed.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Hao was distracted and glanced at Zhou Sheng.
"Prepare to go to Australia during the Spring Festival," Zhou Sheng said, "I will take you to apply for a passport after the basketball game. Has my sister-in-law agreed?"
Fu Liqun spread his hands, not saying anything.
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun.
Zhou Sheng and Fu Liqun looked at Yu Hao suspiciously, and Zhou Sheng said, "What do you want to say?"
Yu Hao said: "I was thinking, it would be great if we all could always be together like this in the future."
