A youthful ten-year promise

Chapter 413 Yichen's "Telepathy" Test

Shen Yichen and Lin Youran sat on a bench by the campus lake, the afterglow of the setting sun bathing them in a golden glow. They smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with boundless anticipation for the future. However, recently, a strange thought had begun to stir in Shen Yichen's mind—he wanted to know if there truly was some kind of supernatural connection between him and Lin Youran, perhaps even telepathy.

This idea stemmed from a chance encounter. That day, Shen Yichen was preparing for his upcoming exam in the library when he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, as if an inexplicable force was pulling him. He put down his books, went outside, and found Lin Youran had fallen not far away. He rushed over, helped her up, and was filled with doubt. Could it be that there really was some kind of spiritual connection between them?

To test his idea, Shen Yichen decided to take a "telepathy" test. He approached a psychology professor at his university and proposed this bold idea. Although the professor found it somewhat unbelievable, he was moved by Shen Yichen's sincerity and decided to help him conduct the test.

The test was scheduled for a weekend afternoon in a closed laboratory at the school. The laboratory was simply yet warmly decorated, with several oil paintings depicting spiritual communication hanging on the walls, adding a touch of mystery. Shen Yichen and Lin Youran were placed in two adjacent rooms. They could not see each other, but they could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats through earphones.

The test began. The professor first asked Shen Yichen and Lin Youran to relax, concentrate, and try to sense each other's presence. Then, he began to show pictures in their respective rooms—some landscapes, some portraits, and some abstract patterns. The professor asked them to guess the content of the pictures in the other's room without looking at them, relying solely on their telepathic connection.

Shen Yichen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused intently on Lin Youran's presence. He could almost hear her heartbeat synchronizing with his own, and feel her unique gentleness and steadfastness. Just then, an image suddenly appeared in his mind—a vast grassland, with a herd of cattle and sheep grazing peacefully under the blue sky and white clouds. He opened his eyes and described this scene to the professor.

Meanwhile, in another room, Lin Youran was experiencing the same thing. She tried to concentrate, attempting to catch the information from Shen Yichen's end. Gradually, she seemed to see the grassland Shen Yichen had described, and could even feel the gentle touch of the breeze rustling the grass. She also told the professor about this scene.

When the professor compared the descriptions of the two rooms, he was astonished to find they were remarkably similar! Moreover, in the following rounds of testing, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran accurately guessed the contents of the pictures in each other's rooms. The professor stared at the record sheet in his hand, an expression of disbelief on his face.

After the test, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran walked out of the laboratory, looking at each other with excitement and joy in their eyes. Did they truly share some kind of spiritual connection? This thought both excited and confused them.

To gain a deeper understanding of this connection, they began researching extensively on telepathy. They discovered that telepathy is a supernatural phenomenon that typically occurs between people with deep emotional bonds. This connection may be achieved through mechanisms such as some unknown energy field or quantum entanglement. Although the scientific explanation for this phenomenon remains controversial, it is undeniable that it does exist among certain specific groups of people.

Shen Yichen and Lin Youran began to try using this telepathic connection in their daily lives. They discovered that when they missed each other, they would often receive text messages or phone calls from the other; when they faced difficulties, they seemed to always feel each other's encouragement and support. This wonderful connection made them even more convinced that their love was real and profound.

However, they also know that this telepathy is not a panacea. It cannot replace communication and exchange, much less become an excuse for them to escape reality. Therefore, they maintain an honest and transparent communication style, facing life's challenges and difficulties together.

As time went on, the telepathic connection between Shen Yichen and Lin Youran grew stronger. They began to accurately predict each other's emotional changes, needs, and future plans. This tacit understanding brought them closer together, as if they had become an indispensable part of each other's lives.

However, they also knew that this supernatural connection needed to be treated with caution. They didn't want to neglect their real-world efforts and hard work by relying too much on telepathy. Therefore, they maintained a positive attitude towards life and strived to pursue their dreams and goals.

On a star-studded night, Shen Yichen and Lin Youran sat hand in hand on a lakeside bench, gazing up at the night sky. They reflected on their experience with the "telepathic" test, their hearts filled with emotion and gratitude. They knew this wondrous connection was a precious gift in their love, making them cherish every moment they spent together even more.

"Yichen, do you think the telepathy between us is real?" Lin Youran asked softly.

Shen Yichen held Lin Youran's hand tightly and said gently, "Whether it really exists or not, I only know that I love you and I am willing to give everything for you. This connection only makes us more certain of our love for each other."

Upon hearing this, Lin Youran smiled happily. She knew that no matter how many unknowns and challenges awaited them in the future, as long as they relied on each other and their hearts were connected, they would surely be able to face and overcome them together.

This youthful ten-year promise is now more than halfway complete. The love story between Shen Yichen and Lin Youran has become even more dazzling with the passage of time. They believe that as long as they have love, dreams, and a deep connection with each other, they will surely overcome any obstacles and reach the other side of happiness together.
