My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1066 - 634: Who Says She’s the Third Wheel

After a long silence, Lin Haitang's gaze gradually deepened.

"You... know everything?"

Meng Lang smiled.

"Forgetting is sometimes the soul's ritual of breaking free... It's not just me, 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 moment is easy, but hiding for a lifetime 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 me..."

"I guessed so... No wonder you've been off these past few days."

Meng Lang's gaze gradually grew more complex.

"So you've... remembered everything?"

As if he saw the worry in Meng 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, memory loss is almost inevitable.

So... I'm still me."

Meng Lang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he caught onto the keyword.

"Sealing? I previously thought it was some kind of memory erasure... How did you do it?"

"You can see it as a high-risk self-hypnosis."

"Hypnosis?" Meng 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 seemed 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 memory 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 time to plan...

"Because around the age of 25, the human brain's development is considered fully mature, and thus more resilient.

This is true for both you and me.

So even if I need to awaken, it must be after this age."

"I see..."

Meng 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 me; it doesn't solely depend on me.

Once you got the book, the future was beyond my precise prediction...

Moreover, the mental world is far more perilous than you imagine, and I admit there was an element of gambling... I was even prepared for never being able to wake up.

But now it seems, my gamble paid off..."

"Hmm..."

Meng 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 time.

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?"

Meng Lang was momentarily 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 phenomenon in quantum mechanics, 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 experiments 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 becomes real when it's 'observed'...

Perhaps this book is the 'variable' that is 'being observed'."

Hmm... this Meng Lang understood.

Just as Schrodinger had a cat.

Meng Xiaolang had a book.

Schrodinger's cat makes people guess whether it's dead or alive.

Meng 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 moment 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..."

Meng Lang didn't say this as mere courtesy.

He considers himself someone 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 Meng Lang's eyes, with that indifferent demeanor, 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 Meng Lang...

"You're still so naïve..."

Meng Lang immediately 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 me?"

Lin Haitang's fingers gripping Meng 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...

Some say waiting for someone is the most painful thing.

Others say forgetting someone is the most painful.

But do you know? My pain is having to wait and forget at the same time..."

A shimmer of tears appeared in Lin Haitang's eyes, looking at him with what seemed to be endless affection and longing.

Meng 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 Meng Lang wanted to say something...

"Ugh~ Meng Xiaolang... you jerk... stealing our family's leg technique manual... idiot... ugh..."

"Uh..." Meng Lang felt a bit awkward then.

Just getting all cozy with the wife and someone says something like that... really messed 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 me who's awkward?

"I say... since you're so reluctant to part from me, why do something 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 momentarily 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..." Meng Lang was rendered speechless with anger.

Can she really say it so righteously?

Just now she was discussing quantum physics with me, and now she's playing the kindergarten kid?

This is just being shameless!

"Is the problem I'm a toy? Can I be shared like that?

And I remember 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 Meng Lang for a long time...

"But... who said she's the third party?"

If not, she's not the third party, am I?

Meng 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 me 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 timeline, she definitely met Yan Weiwei before she met me...

Hiss...

So... the joke's on me?

At this moment, Meng 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 troublesome."

"What?"

"When was the last time you read a book?"

Lin Haitang's sudden leap in topic caught Meng 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?"

Meng Lang froze.

Yes, even in the last episode there was a way to deal with the "nest," but there was no mention of Haitang knowing hypnotism...

Wait!

Could it be... that the "book version" of me was...

His heart skipped a beat, just as he wanted to push the fragile body in his arms away, at that very moment, he was met 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 extremely bright?

Why did she talk to him for so long and those eyes never left him...

Hypnotic environment? Mental 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 seemed to appear two Haitangs in front of him...

Then turned into two Weiweis...

Finally soaring continuously into the clouds...
