“Forgive me for having to explain things in such a complicated and roundabout way; I, too, was left with no choice, no alternative.
Actually, bringing you along was merely to add an extra layer of insurance.
What happens next is beyond the ‘script’ I originally knew, a completely new and unknown adventure even to me.
Thus, I must proceed with caution, considering every aspect a bit more comprehensively.”
…
Chu Anqing was shocked.
Still unable to recover from the fantasy novel-like story.
No matter what, it all seemed too unreal!
Silence.
A long, prolonged silence.
Neither of them spoke.
Chu Anqing frowned deeply, her heart not settling for a long time.
“I, I want to ask…”

As if making up her mind, she raised her head, her gaze serious, and looked at Huang Que:“The ‘Alpha material’ you mentioned…
the one that can only be found in the vast cosmos, is it really…
really that important to Senior Lin Xian?”
Huang Que put down her legs, which she had been resting on another chair.
She looked solemnly at Chu Anqing.
And nodded firmly:
“Yes, extremely important,” she said softly:
“[All collapses and failures begin with the loss of this crucial item…
By the time we realize its importance, it’s already too late.]”
…
Huang Que stood up, leaving behind a note:
“My phone number is on here.”
She picked up her overcoat that was lying aside:
“It’s still only September 2023, not yet October.
You have plenty of time to think about and decide on this matter.
When you’ve finally made your decision, just call me, and I’ll tell you all the truths I can.”
Rustle—
The stylish coat on Huang Que, she took sunglasses from the coat pocket and put them on her face:
“But I must clarify one thing, An Qing, whatever choice you make is correct.
Because…
what the right answer is, even I can’t guess at this moment.
I’m also just trying my best to do what I believe is right.”
“It’s just unfortunate…”
She laughed:
“[Actually, I know more about you, and again due to ‘elastic reasons,’ I can’t tell you now.
Otherwise, you’d probably find it easier to make a decision.]”
“Goodbye, until we meet again.”
With that,
Huang Que turned and walked away, her high heels clicking rapidly…
Chu Anqing’s eyes withdrew from the figure disappearing around the stairwell.
She looked at the small slip of paper with a phone number on the table.
She reached out…
Clenched her hand.
And slipped it into her pocket.
…
“That’s a simplified understanding of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity,”
said in a crowded lecture hall.
Chu Anqing sat in the back row corner, frantically noting down what was written on the blackboard, while the recorder next to her captured the content that Teacher Zhang Yang had just explained.
She adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose.
Although her vision wasn’t that bad, just a bit nearsighted, fine for everyday life, study, and gaming, she still worried she wouldn’t see the chalkboard from the very back of the room, which accommodated hundreds.
So she had gotten these glasses just in case.
“Young lady, your vision is perfectly fine!
1.0 is already enough; you don’t really need glasses,”
the staff at the college glasses shop had said after the eye exam:
“Getting glasses…
would be like getting a telescope.”
“Exactly!”
Chu Anqing nodded like a pecking chicken:
“I want a telescope!”
“But that’s not good for your eyes…
It will cause fatigue, and your prescription could get worse.”
“It’s okay~ I’ll just wear them for one class.”
Ultimately,
Chu Anqing insisted and got herself a pair of “telescope glasses.” She’d sneak into Teacher Zhang Yang’s general education classes, settling in the back row like a spy absorbing knowledge.

She didn’t actually enroll in this gen-ed class last semester.
So theoretically, she shouldn’t be there.
But…
In these large classes of several hundred students, roll calls were rare, and the teacher wouldn’t notice one extra person or one less, so slipping in was pretty easy.
Just as Senior Lin Xian said.
Teacher Zhang Yang was known for his entertaining and easy-to-understand classes, with massive popularity; every lecture was packed.
Once, when Chu Anqing couldn’t find a seat, she stood at the back of the classroom for the entire lecture.
She remembered that lesson vividly: Teacher Zhang Yang talked about the grandfather paradox, Hawking’s chronology protection conjecture, and other fascinating scientific tales to argue against the possibility of time travel.
At the same time, he also discussed the famous copenhagen debate between Einstein and Bohr—
A debate on quantum mechanics that nearly involved the smartest scientists in human history, with strong views and unresolved arguments, ending with no one convinced.
“Wow…”
Chu Anqing felt her brain was well-cooked and could be topped with chili powder now.
Were these things even comprehensible by humans?
Could these be knowledge humans could grasp?
Bohr, Planck, Einstein…
these people must be gods!
That lesson made Chu Anqing question herself; maybe she’d never understand these complex matters.
The truth was she wasn’t studying this course with dedication because of Senior Lin Xian’s influence but because of Huang Que.
It was Elder Sister Huang Que who told her things that made it difficult for her to decide, to choose.
It wasn’t just about that one trip to space…
There were too many things she didn’t understand.
And so.
She wanted to understand!
