"I know you probably think I'm crazy, but I really feel fine," Su Li said helplessly.

Zhou Wenyu frowned as he looked over the psychiatrist's certificate showing a clean bill of health.

Su Li took him to the small courtyard and slowly told him about himself, about everything that had happened to him.

Zhou Wenyu listened with furrowed brows at first, then with eyes and mouth wide open in astonishment. Finally he fell silent. "Maybe it's not a bad thing after all."

Su Li patted him on the shoulder. "You get me, brother."

"I wish you all the best," Zhou Wenyu said.

Zhou Wenyu stayed with him for a week.

The day Zhou Wenyu left, Su Li found a cat at his front door. The cat was a bit chubby, with ginger fur that truly suited his color.

Curled up in a trembling ball by the door, he was still just a kitten.

Su Li picked him up. "Where did you come from, guest?"

The ginger kitten nuzzled his palm and let out a soft, tender mew.

"No place to go? Want to come with me? I definitely won't let you go hungry." Su Li wrapped him in a scarf and took him to the vet.

The kitten was very healthy. He was probably just looking for a long-term meal ticket. Su Li bought a pile of things and took him home. As soon as he was put down, the ginger kitten started frolicking all around the house, perfectly at ease.

Su Li believed what the vet had said, that the cat was looking for a permanent food source.

Zhou Yao came back holding a stack of documents. "Boss, the boss of Qibing Company is also in Nanjiang. He said he wants to take you out for a meal."

"You can arrange it," Su Li said in a good mood.

"I met a weird guy today. Looked totally normal, but the moment he opened his mouth, he sounded like a psycho," Zhou Yao complained.

"Oh? What happened?" Su Li was a little curious.

"Some guy waving around a project proposal, saying his studio could research time travel and parallel universe theories and stuff. Total nutjob." Zhou Yao grumbled.

"No idea where he got his information, but he knew you were here and kept calling me. Raving lunatic. If he keeps this up I'm calling the cops." Re𝒂𝒂d the latest stories 𝒐n nov𝒆lbin(.)com

"Find out everything you can about his studio and theories and get me his information," Su Li suddenly said.

"Boss?" Zhou Yao couldn't believe his ears. "You can't actually believe this stuff?"

"What era is this? You gotta believe in science, boss!" Zhou Yao was on the verge of another meltdown.

"I told you to do it, so do it," Su Li said. "I want to see everything as soon as possible."

Zhou Yao took a deep breath and left, hands clutched over his heart.

In Su Li's mind, however, a bold and outrageous idea was gradually taking shape, madly making his arm hairs stand on end.

Two days later, Zhou Yao reluctantly came in holding a folder. "You really wanna see this crazy stuff?"

"Give it here." Su Li was eager to the point of impatience.

Su Li carefully read through all of the man's guesses and theories. "Set up a meeting. I want to see him."
