Genius Club-Chapter 1153 - 32: Zhang Yuqian’s Video Tape (An extra Chapter for the Silver Alliance, Day 37 of Unparalleled Under Heaven!)_4
The voice on the videotape is exactly like Chu Anqing’s!
It really felt as if Chu Anqing was sitting there in the living room with them!
The TV screen showed a home scene in the style of the last century, but the various mahogany furniture and the spiral staircase inside the house was enough to indicate the family’s wealth.
"Qian Qian, don’t just film the house."
On the living room sofa, a young middle-aged man smiled faintly.
Lin Xian and Gao Yang exchanged glances.
They had met this person... Although he was much younger than in reality, they recognized him at a glance: this was Zhang Yuqian’s father!
The man waved at the camera with an indulgent smile:
"Qian Qian, Dad bought this for you so that you can record more of the beautiful moments in life, for memories when you grow up."
"So... don’t just film at home; go outside, to the park, and shoot something meaningful with your friends."
The video abruptly stopped, then immediately jumped to another segment.
"This is how these magnetic tape videos are."
Gao Yang explained:
"All videos are connected in one sequence, using the same tape, unlike digital cameras."
"Do you really need to explain that?"
Lin Xian interrupted Gao Yang:
"Watch carefully, don’t make a sound."
What followed were various video clips.
It was clear.
Zhang Yuqian was a carefree girl who loved life deeply.
She used this camera to capture many scenes of spring, beautiful landscapes, friends, pets... and her videography skills were also getting better and better.
Of course, there were also plenty of lovely selfies in the video.
Accompanied by a tinkling laugh, two crescent-shaped eyes, shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, a finely chiseled face, and a vibrant smile...
This was undoubtedly Chu Anqing.
Even more like Chu Anqing than CC.
Even considering her personality, she was ninety percent similar to Chu Anqing!
"Incredible."
Gao Yang marveled, speechless:
"Just by looking at photos, I couldn’t grasp the seriousness of it, this... this... Watching the video now, she’s downright a copy of Chu Anqing! I’d believe it if you said Chu Anqing time-traveled back to 2000!"
In an instant.
The TV screen went black, and then switched to the next scene.
It was Zhang Yuqian’s bedroom.
Apart from Zhang Yuqian, who was wearing pajamas, there was another girl who had also appeared in previous videos, Zhang Yuqian’s close girlfriend, also in pajamas.
Lin Xian and Gao Yang’s eyes widened!
This...
Could they continue to watch the rest of the content?
"Hehe, I’m planning to do something very challenging!"
In the footage, Zhang Yuqian put her hands towards the camera placed on the table and smiled:
"I’m going to try to record my dreams!"
"Huh?"
The girlfriend beside her, puzzled, looked at Zhang Yuqian:
"Qian Qian, didn’t you say that you often have nightmares, but every time you wake up, you can’t remember what happened in them? How are you going to record that?"
"That’s why I called you over today!"
Zhang Yuqian giggled, pulling her good friend into the camera’s frame, explaining to her:
"Indeed, I often have nightmares, but as soon as I wake up, I instantly forget everything... so clean that even the fact I had a dream slips my mind.
"I always wonder, is it possible that I have [nightmares] every night, but because I forget so cleanly, I feel like on some nights I don’t dream at all?"
The girlfriend looked disgusted:
"Isn’t that normal? What’s there to record about it? Sometimes I can’t remember what dreams I’ve had at night, no matter how hard I try."
"But can’t you remember any of them, ever?"
Zhang Yuqian spread her hands:
"I really can’t remember a single time, I can’t recall any details of a dream! So, if I have to say... I probably never really dreamed, not even a fragment of any dream, I don’t remember..."
"But I can feel it, it was definitely a terrible nightmare, it’s just that I forget too quickly, I forget everything the moment I wake up."
Her best friend scratched her head:
"So... what exactly do you want to do? How can I help you?"
"Hehe~"
Zhang Yuqian leaned towards the camera, picked up the camcorder, and handed it to her best friend:
"I’ve already thought of a plan! See, the moment I wake up, I can still remember the nightmare, right?"
"We’ll use this camera to capture that moment!"
"Tonight, you’re not going to sleep. Just hold this camera... Yes, this is the record button. Just hold the camera by my side, wait for me to fall asleep and start dreaming."
"[Once you feel I’m about to start dreaming, wake me up! Then turn on the camera and face me, loudly ask me what I dreamed about, and make me say it right away!]"
Zhang Yuqian was very satisfied with her plan and explained it with pride:
"How about it? Isn’t it perfect? You have to be quick, you know? The moment I wake from the nightmare, I forget the dream’s content very, very fast... You might be just one second late, and I won’t even remember having the nightmare, let alone its content!"
Suddenly.
The screen went black.
It was clearly paused.
Gao Yang scratched his head in confusion:
"What’s this, it makes no sense."
However...
Lin Xian looked serious.
He remembered.
At the beginning of 2023, at the Donghai Chamber of Commerce’s New Year’s Eve party, when he danced with Chu Anqing, they had a casual conversation about dreaming.
At that time, Chu Anqing said:
"I really envy you, senior, for having nice dreams all the time. I can’t stand it. I’m afraid of dreaming because I always have nightmares."
"But I don’t remember them well after waking up, though sometimes I’m really scared. It would be nice if I could have beautiful dreams like you."
...
Back then, Lin Xian took it as small talk and didn’t pay much attention, because for most people, having nightmares is quite normal.
The way Lin Xian dreams is the exception to the exceptions.
But he hadn’t expected...
That when it comes to having nightmares!
Zhang Yuqian was exactly the same as Chu Anqing!
This indicates.
It’s not simple!
From the current perspective, the nightmares related to the Millennium Stakes must have a problem!
Soon.
The video resumed.
Zhang Yuqian was obviously asleep for a long time, her brows furrowed, as if the dream wasn’t too pleasant.
Her best friend, holding the camera, slowly approached...
Then!
She shook Zhang Yuqian frantically:
"Qian Qian! Wake up quickly! Wake up! Tell me what you dreamed about!"
Zhang Yuqian opened her bleary eyes as if she had not yet come to.
The best friend continued to shake her and patted Zhang Yuqian’s forehead to wake her:
"Quick, tell me! What did you dream about?"
"Explosion... bright light... mushroom cloud..."
Zhang Yuqian, with a dazed look, answered blankly:
"Newspaper... 1952... Burning... Love..."
"Einstein!"
