Zhou Sheng was about to lie down when Yu Hao asked, "Then how would you explain Shi Ni's dream? Why would there be another person who would dream of the same thing as me?"

"Also, you didn't need to assault Shi Liang in the conference room, but you did, and you even did it in front of his daughter. Your intention was to create a firm impression in Shi Ni's mind. She likes characters in cartoons and comics, and one of the heroes in them was Sun Wukong! Your red hair was also a unique feature of Sun Wukong. She unconsciously associated you with Sun Wukong, so you managed to appear in her dream, then you tried to save her." Yu Hao nervously rattled on about the innumerable conjectures that he had thought of countless times.

Zhou Sheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "You're really overthinking things, Yu Hao! I just hit him because I saw you getting bullied!"

"If you were really just hitting him out of anger, you wouldn't have acted like that. You wouldn't laugh, and you wouldn't discuss it beforehand with Liqun outside - arranging for him to come in and hold Shi Liang back before you started hitting him." Yu Hao didn't dare to look at Zhou Sheng, "You had planned to hit him, but why did you conceive such a plan? Also, you even thought that the totem I gave you turned into the Shackle Curse? It's because you thought you needed to find a way to solve my problem - you couldn't bear watching it any longer, so it had turned into your responsibility."

Zhou Sheng said, "Yu Hao, don't get so caught up in your dreams anymore. You don't have hysteria, you just overthink too much! You're always going on such wild goose chases, aren't you just being foolish?"

Yu Hao said, "One last question. This is the one I really couldn't figure out. Answer me ba, then I won't ask you anything else."

Zhou Sheng said patiently, "Say it."

"When I was burning charcoal, what were you doing?" Yu Hao asked his last question, and Zhou Sheng really was taken aback. His expression showed that he was at a loss as he pondered, "I asked Fu Liqun to go look for you."

But when he was startled for that brief moment, Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng's gaze had met; a glint suddenly flashed through Zhou Sheng's eyes, and an intuition stirred within Yu Hao. Then Zhou Sheng turned around and turned off the table lamp.

"You were sleeping!" It was as if Yu Hao had suddenly been knocked on the head with a stick - he had figured it all out!

Yu Hao seriously looked into Zhou Sheng's eyes in the darkness, "Based on your character, you definitely wouldn't rely on someone else to come save me after you realized that I was carrying a pack of charcoal in my bag. It was a dire matter. You would follow me, all the way until you knew where I was going and what I was doing."

Zhou Sheng said, "I wasn't thinking so deeply then! After I played some soccer, I went back to my dorm to take a bath! I was in the middle of my bath when I realized that something wasn't right, so I quickly went out to notify Fu Liqun! Which was why I caught a cold! Do you want to call him to ask? Here! I'll give you my phone! Ask him!"

Zhou Sheng passed his phone to Yu Hao. Yu Hao found Fu Liqun's number; his hand that he was holding the phone with couldn't stop trembling. He looked up again at Zhou Sheng. Yu Hao thought that he really must be crazy this time, but he had to know, otherwise he might actually develop a mental disorder from this torturous ordeal.

Zhou Sheng was staring at Yu Hao's hand, then looked into Yu Hao's eyes.

The second before he was about to press the 'call' button, Zhou Sheng suddenly said, "Wait, forget it. Let's stop this game."
