Xiao Ming's predictions have a deeper meaning, and Mr. Qiu wants to eliminate his hidden worries.
Xue Jiuyue rationally analyzed the core of the problem that Liu Che hadn't grasped. Liu Che laughed dryly, "Actually, I, that's not what I meant. It's not suspicion. I'm just a little curious about your new idea."
"Xiao Ming, am I that overbearing and stingy?" Xue Jiuyue protested Liu Che's cautious attitude, but her highly active mind instantly skipped over the details. "Do you know Schrödinger's cat?"
"Yes, classical theoretical experiments in quantum mechanics."
"Well, the future is like Schrödinger's cat. If we don't predict it, it will remain in its eternal state. When we predict it, its original superposition state is broken. This is also the case. If several people simultaneously predict your falling cup, can you be sure that there will be no butterfly effect between these predictions? There will only be one result, which may differ from each person's prediction, but that doesn't deny that everyone can predict the future! If Schrödinger's cat is just a theoretical experiment, then what about the magical double-slit interference experiment? If we take time into account, then no event can be participated in solely by oneself, and since everyone can predict it, the superposition of the butterfly effect is inevitable."
Liu Che pondered for a moment, then excitedly stood up and exclaimed, "No problem, brilliant! At least from what I hear, all the loopholes have been filled!"
As he spoke, he took another step forward and added, "I have another prediction. Your theory should have profound implications, but I'm still lost as to where it leads."
"There's no deep meaning at all. I feel embarrassed to have said so many useless things to you. Only you are playing house with me. You need to rest. Sit down quickly!" This was the first time that Xue Jiuyue fully expressed these wild ideas. She herself felt that they were very childish and absurd.
"Look at the butterfly effect. I feel relieved. My foot is already healed." Liu Che joked as he sat back down. In fact, the pain he felt when he took a step just now made him sober, but he held it in. Then Liu Che became serious again, "This is not just playing house. I think it's quite interesting. At the very least, it's a training for thinking. Isn't philosophy itself a training for thinking?"
Liu Che's gentle voice and serious demeanor made Xue Jiuyue laugh, and reminded her of his original intention. "Thinking training to prevent Alzheimer's disease? However, you can sit here quietly and train your mind for the next two days to recover from your injuries. Do you understand?"
…
Encouraged by his leader, Rong Xu was still excited when he returned home.
"Wife, let's go out for dinner tonight to celebrate?" Rong Xu said to his wife Ai Mu as soon as he entered the door.
"What are you so happy about?"
"After the meeting today, Mr. Qian asked me to stay alone and asked about my thoughts on the company's financial development. He also raised a few hopes and finally told me to work hard!"
Ai Mu's eyes sparkled after hearing this, "They're waiting to promote you!"
"Yeah, I think so too! So let's find a place to celebrate tonight!"
"Don't rush to celebrate. It hasn't ended yet. Don't let anything unexpected happen." Ai Mu was still a little worried.
Rong Xu had to be cautious after hearing his wife's reminder, but after thinking about it, he comforted both of them, "It shouldn't be. Mr. Qian also told me a secret. He said it involves Mr. Qiu and asked me not to tell anyone else. This is a sign that Mr. Qian regards me as a confidant."
"What secret?"
Rong Xu repeated to Ai Mu the story about the company's afternoon tea and the coffee shop.
"What's the name of that cafe? I'll go check it out someday."
Rong Xu took out his phone and found the WeChat message from Gu Quyu. "It's called 'Inch by Inch of Time'."
"Inch by inch of time? Why does it sound so familiar?" Ai Mu muttered to himself, "Inch by inch of time, I remember now, the owner of that coffee shop was my college classmate."
"What a coincidence?!"
"I was wondering why she's still single. Could it be that something's going on between them..." Ai Mu ignored Rong Xu and muttered to herself. Suddenly, she asked, "Are there any rumors about your CEO Qian recently?"
"Rumors? What rumors?"
"It's just gossip, rumors, are there any marital problems or something?"
"Divorce? There seems to be a rumor that Mr. Qian hasn't been home for a long time! What's going on?"
"Then there's no escaping!" Ai Mu immediately confirmed his inference. "Hubby, you've really gotten lucky. In a few days, I'll have my classmates give you some money to persuade your boss to help you make progress!"
"Pillow talk?!" Rong Xu still didn't quite believe it. "No way, Mr. Qian has always had a very good reputation!"
"No matter how good your reputation is, it can't compare to my classmate's natural beauty. You men..."
…
Xue Jiuyue was also excited after returning home, and she was particularly lively during the video call with her parents. She felt a sense of accomplishment just thinking about having her absurd idea recognized and Liu Che standing up twice.
"Is Xiao Ming deliberately flattering me?" Xue Jiuyue pondered to herself, "How about finding that charlatan to verify it?! Okay, let's do it!"
"Spit Star" lives up to expectations and is always there.
After quietly and seriously reading Xue Jiuyue's description, "Spitting Star" expressed great admiration for Xue Jiuyue's ideas and even offered his "professional" opinion. "The future spacetime and the present spacetime don't necessarily have to be two grasshoppers in front and behind each other on the same line. They can also be like two parallel lines in plane geometry. All kinds of divination, prediction, and induction are like auxiliary lines, directly connecting the two spacetimes. Where there is a connection, there is cause and effect. I believe there will definitely be the butterfly effect you mentioned."
Xue Jiuyue was quite satisfied with the approval of the "divine stick", so she showed more mercy when playing cards next time...
Because it was the weekend, Mr. and Mrs. Qiu arrived at "Inch of Time" before noon. Upon entering, Mr. Qiu was drawn to the new decorations on the wall. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a beautiful women's handbag hanging under a glass cover. The bright, warm colors added a touch of liveliness to the interior without being overly dramatic. A few lines of text accompanied the introduction in a corner of the floorboards.
Mr. Qiu laughed when he read the last sentence "This artwork was donated by the creator Mr. Qian".
"Jianjun'er is a really creative kid." He praised in his heart.
This turned out to be the bag Qian Jianjun had given Xue Jiuyue, and Xue Jiuyue hung it in the shop—the place where this idea was born—as a commemoration and also to encourage future customers to think freely in this quiet place.
After reading the text, Mr. Qiu carefully examined the bag again. When he saw the Su embroidery "moon", the wise old man smiled again and couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart, "Xiaoyue, this is a beautiful hand."
"Yiyi, Xiaoyue hasn't come yet?"
Mr. Qiu sat back on the sofa and asked softly to Lin Yiyi who came to bring him coffee.
"Sister Yue came and went out again."
"Are you free to sit down for a while and chat." Mr. Qiu made an invitation.
"Okay." Lin Yiyi sat opposite the old couple Qiu and said nothing more.
Knowing Lin Yiyi's character, Mr. Qiu said directly without beating around the bush: "Yiyi, please let me find out something for you."
"You say."
"I heard from Qiu Nian that Xiaoyue receives a letter every day, which is a leaf. And two days ago, you found that the sender should be nearby. Is that true?"
"Well, it was discovered by Keke..."
Elder Qiu listened carefully to Lin Yiyi's story and analyzed it seriously. However, Mrs. Qiu asked with concern, "Xiaoyue, are you sure that the other party has no bad intentions?"
"I suspected it before, but Sister Yue was confident that it wouldn't happen. And it's been going on for several months now, from the beginning of spring, with no abnormalities."
At this time, Mr. Qiu said cautiously, "I'm afraid that she'll get used to it and think it's nothing, and then suddenly one day there's a 'surprise'! How about this? From now on, every time Xiaoyue opens a letter, we'll record it on video as evidence!"
"That makes sense!" Lin Yiyi nodded in agreement. "It's just a video..." She looked up and looked around before saying, "It's not a big deal. The store's surveillance cameras can capture every table, as long as nothing is blocked. I'll remind Sister Yue later."
Elder Qiu nodded slightly and continued his analysis: "The people who can observe Xiaoyue's movements are not just the customers in the store, anyone nearby is possible."
"Um!"
"What do you think if I find someone to secretly find this guy? I'm mainly worried that he will threaten Xiaoyue's safety. Safety is no small matter."
Mrs. Qiu also echoed Mr. Qiu, "Safety is indeed very important, especially hidden dangers, which can make people feel uneasy."
"I heard the letters all come from this area. If we hire someone to stake out every mailbox, we'll have results within three days." Mr. Qiu had already come up with a feasible plan, and he immediately elaborated on it. "Of course, if we hire someone to post the letters, that's going to be a bit more troublesome. But the hired party can always provide some information, and we can use that information to survey the area."
Even Lin Yiyi was moved to see the couple fussing over a possible hidden danger.
"Let me thank you both on behalf of Sister Yue! However, I think we should consult Sister Yue first on this matter...?"
"Yes, yes, we need to ask her opinion." Elder Qiu agreed at first, then he denied it: "Didn't Xiaoyue say that she needed to recall it herself? We are just secretly helping her eliminate the hidden dangers without alerting her, just like you quietly suspected her."
"It's different. What if the noise is so loud that it alerts the enemy? Everything else is fine. Sister Yue has made some progress in the treatment..." Lin Yiyi held back the rest of the words and didn't say them out loud.
Old Qiu was also hesitant to act rashly. "What you said makes sense, but regarding safety..."
"You're just too concerned," Lin Yiyi said with a smile. "Actually, the safety hazard is just your one-sided speculation. Sister Yue is such a kind person, and it's extremely unlikely that someone would deliberately want to harm her. Postal mail itself is safe, and there are cameras as a backup, so it should be foolproof. Moreover, from our observation and analysis, the hidden meaning of these letters should be emotional. Because the leaves are ginkgo leaves every day! Ginkgo leaves are fan-shaped, with symmetrical sides, looking like a heart, representing simple and sincere love, and also symbolizing a lifelong defense of love. It is precisely because it involves emotions that we are sure that Sister Yue really can't remember, or she remembers part of it, or she remembers it but doesn't want to say it?"
