Moreover, mobile dial-up was just for receiving files and software from his son. Hao Yunyang wanted to make his first pot of gold, so he would need to get a broadband connection. This wouldn’t be much, but at least a thousand yuan, right?
Although Hao Yunyang had thought about borrowing someone else’s computer to earn some money before buying his own, the mobile dial-up speed was already slow, and using it to receive files and software would be even worse. Besides, Hao Yunyang was a typical “white” (naive person). Two years of work and a recent breakup had taught him that you can know a person’s face but not their heart. Who knows if he might leave traces on the computer and become someone’s guinea pig, losing his phone, wife, and son!
The risk was too great, and Hao Yunyang preferred to play it safe. He could wait a bit; it wouldn’t take long, and it wasn’t worth taking such a risk.
Sitting alone in the dormitory until five-thirty in the evening, Hao Yunyang sorted out his messy thoughts and finally fully accepted the fact that at just twenty years old, he already had a seventy-year-old wife and a forty-five-year-old son.
Although he could potentially turn his life around dramatically through his son and phone, Hao Yunyang also understood that the risks were almost entirely on his son Hao Zhenhua’s shoulders. He couldn’t say he wasn’t feeling guilty.
Even if Hao Zhenhua told Hao Yunyang that he would buy a high-tech memory storage device tomorrow, carrying it with him, ensuring Hao Yunyang could be with Zhao Chenxin and conceive at the precise moment, even if he lost his current memories, he would have a good chance of recovering them through the memory storage device.
And as long as Hao Yunyang succeeded in this time and space, the time and space where Hao Zhenhua was located would also change. For example, Hao Zhenhua might suddenly discover that his father wasn’t dead, and he had become the son of a wealthy businessman, with his mother’s eyes, ears, and health all restored.
Or Hao Zhenhua might wake up to find everything around him changed, but he would feel it was natural because his memories would have changed with the broader context.
