Chapter 30: QQ

Snap!

Gao Yang snapped his fingers, his face lighting up. “I get it!”

“You get it again?” Lin Xian raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

“Absolutely! If someone in your dream looks exactly like someone you’ve seen before, it confirms the dream isn’t real. Guaranteed!”

“Echoing my thoughts from five minutes ago?” Lin Xian chuckled.Rread latest chapters at n/ov(e)lbin(.)co/m

Dr. Liu laughed and nodded at Gao Yang’s excitement. “Exactly right, Gao Yang.”

“If we dream about someone and they exist just like that in real life, we simply compare and analyze their actions. It’s straightforward to discern the reality of the dream,” Dr. Liu explained.

“It’s not that complex, Gao Yang. Help Lin Xian apply this when you get back. I’m confident it’ll address his psychological issues effectively.”

Gao Yang clapped Lin Xian on the back, grinning. “Though I wish your dreams were real... if this clears your mind, it’s worth it.”

“Hopefully,” Lin Xian sighed, feeling a mix of hope and resignation.

After wrapping up their session, Lin Xian and Gao Yang left Dr. Liu’s office.

“So, was the 3000 yuan well-spent?” Gao Yang asked as they walked out into the sunlight, his grin infectious.

“I told you, Dr. Liu is the expert! We’ve wasted so much time with ineffective methods. She figured it out instantly.”

Lin Xian gave a resigned smile. “It’s hard to say. Just shows it’s easy to make money from the wealthy.”

Lin Xian smiled wryly. “Hard to predict, really.”

“Back then, we wouldn’t expect a ‘Dragon King’ or ‘Asura Chen Bei Xuan’ to show up. But five years can change a lot. If you organize it, I’ll be there to support you.”

Lin Xian took a gulp of beer, then eyed Gao Yang thoughtfully. “The real challenge is... do you even have everyone’s contact info? How will you notify them?”

“Through our old QQ group, you caveman!” Gao Yang looked at him with playful disdain. “Remember? We all used it back in high school, though it’s been quiet for years.”

“Oh, right. I haven’t logged in forever,” Lin Xian admitted, focusing back on his skewers. After starting his job, he hadn’t felt the need to check QQ.

Gao Yang continued, reminiscing as he wiped beer foam from his lips. “You were quite the show-off with your QQ account in elementary school. Everyone had nine-digit numbers, but you snagged an eight-digit one with a sun icon!”

Lin Xian laughed, remembering. “That was from my cousin in the city. He got into QQ early and grabbed all these short numbers.”

Suddenly, Lin Xian’s beer mug slammed down, startling Gao Yang with a splash.

“Are you okay?” Gao Yang dodged the droplets, puzzled by his friend’s sudden intensity.

But Lin Xian was deep in thought, his eyes fixated on the disappearing foam.

Eight... digits... Eight-digit number.

A realization dawned, connecting to the safe with eight dials he’d been puzzling over.

“I see... now...”
