Ch29 - Confession (1/2)
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 realised 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 realised 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.”

When Yu Hao heard that voice, he knew that Zhou Sheng had finally admitted it.
“General?” Yu Hao’s voice was trembling.
Zhou Sheng enunciated every word clearly, “Yu Hao, I really want to give you a good beating today.”
The moment he said this, Yu Hao recognised that familiar tone, it really is him! At this moment, all of his strength completely drained from him with a whoosh like a receding tide. He got up and knelt on the bed, then nervously moved a little closer to Zhou Sheng and Zhou Sheng smiled helplessly. He turned his head, pressed one hand on Yu Hao’s forehead and forcefully pushed him down.

“Good night.” Zhou Sheng said in an unquestionably overbearing tone, “Yu Hao! Forget everything that had happened in your dreams!”
Yu Hao, “Wait……”
Zhou Sheng’s hold was so strong that Yu Hao couldn’t struggle against it at all; with this one push from Zhou Sheng, he had fallen onto the bed.

“Damn it!” Zhou Sheng reacted instantly, “I shouldn’t have taken your fucking totem! I must’ve seriously taken the wrong medicine that day!”

Yu Hao grabbed Zhou Sheng’s hand and looked at him breathlessly. This time, it was Zhou Sheng’s turn to have a strange expression on his face. Yu Hao held his hand. Zhou Sheng’s fingers unconsciously curled up and Yu Hao buried his head onto the back of his hand. The room fell silent, and the tworemained in this position as if they were sculptures.
After a long time passed, Zhou Sheng’s voice finally broke through the silence.
“Don’t cry.” Zhou Sheng said calmly, “I really can’t stand seeing people cry. This’ll be the only time, and if you cry again in front of me, I’ll seriously hit you next time.”

For a period of time, Yu Hao couldn’t tell if he was excited, happy, or sad.
Zhou Sheng said, “Fine, I’ll tell you. No one will believe you if you told them anyway, they’ll just think you’re crazy.”
Yu Hao calmed down and released Zhou Sheng’s hand, “Don’t say it. Don’t say anything, General.”
In the darkness, he couldn’t see Zhou Sheng’s expression clearly. He pressed his hand onto his palm, “I just wanted to find you, and say ‘thank you’ to you. You could call it stubbornness or my reluctance to give up. That song…was for you.”
“I heard it, and I know you sang it for me.” Zhou Sheng said, “I already felt like it was a bit dangerous that night, but I didn’t want……I didn’t want you to be haunted by this dream for the rest of your life. It was my fault, I said things that I shouldn’t have in the world of the consciousness.”
Yu Hao said, “Then I’ll just treat it as a dream ba. When I wake up tomorrow, I’ll no longer be so attached to this matter, and you can just pretend as if nothing had ever happened. No matter what I ask you, you just……”
Zhou Sheng suddenly gripped Yu Hao’s hand tightly and rubbed it with his fingers, then intertwined their fingers together.

“It doesn’t matter. Actually, this is our fate.” Zhou Sheng suddenly said, “It really doesn’t matter, I don’t blame you. Perhaps from the moment I saw you at the back of our college, everything you asked me today might have already been predestined.”
As he spoke, Zhou Sheng let go of his hand, releasing Yu Hao, “Sleep ba, Yu Hao. You’re the one who said so just now, that you didn’t want to know anything.”
