Chapter 1039: Why Don’t You Go Home?

　　”Zhang Ya in the world behind the Yu See Door loves to smile, and she looks good when she smiles, but I always feel that there’s a hint of sadness hidden in her smile.”

　　”Did she recognize me or not?”

　　”Was this Zhang Ya’s appearance an accident? Or was it influenced by that storybook?”

　　”The turning point in Yu-mi’s life was when his own homeroom teacher resigned, and it was at that time that he had a falling out with the Underworld, which means that one of the most important people in Yu-mi’s world behind the door is probably ‘Teacher’, the one and only person who helped him when he was in deep trouble. ”

　　”Is he trying to make me go through the same things he went through before?”

　　”Using my memories to experience his past?”

　　Leaning against the billboard, Chen Ge looked at the seasonal rain, “No matter what, perhaps this is a chance for me to truly understand Zhang Ya.”

　　Gently slapping his face, Chen Ge brought himself to his senses, “Calm down! Right now, although it has a bit of a youthful and inspirational school life feel to it, it might transform into a bloody escapade and a severe ghost demanding death at some point.”

　　The rain had no intention of stopping, Chen Ge borrowed an umbrella from a passerby and returned to the school again.

　　It was already dark, the world behind the door seemed to have no concept of time, everything happened in a trance, and the transformation was very fast.

　　Taking out the skull-crushing hammer, Chen Ge wandered around the campus.

　　”Night has come, ghosts and all sorts of dirty things still haven’t appeared, is this the Liwan Town I remember?”

　　There were no homicidal maniacs to be seen, and there were no red coats, it was a very ordinary town in front of him.

　　”What Wu Sheng was deprived of was his voice, so everyone’s mouths in the world behind his door were sewn shut; Jiang Ming was deprived of his hearing, so his world was very quiet; Fang Yu was deprived of her memories, so the world behind her door was a grayish white. All the children chosen by the Underworld Fetus, the world behind the door must be crippled; what that child is deprived of, the passersby behind the door will lack, but this world is obviously different.”

　　”Everyone looks normal, they don’t seem to be lacking anything.” Chen Ge was staring at the empty corridor with his umbrella when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

　　”Zhang Ya? What is she calling me for?” Chen Ge glanced at the caller ID, then picked up the phone.

　　”Where are you right now? Why aren’t you home yet!” Zhang Ya’s voice came from the other side of the phone, and she seemed very angry.

　　”How do you know I haven’t gone home?” Chen Ge felt a little strange and instinctively asked back.

　　”Your dad is all mad with anxiety! Is looking for you everywhere! He called a lot of people!”

　　”My dad?” Chen Ge didn’t expect his father to show up at all, his eyes instantly widened, “Where is he? I’ll go find him right away!”

　　The blood in his entire body began to speed up, Chen Ge ran towards the outside of the school with his umbrella, as if a fire had ignited in his heart, “Could the one who came to find me really be my father? Is it possible that this world behind the door is a trap for him to target the Underworld Fetus?”

　　”He’s on his way over to the school, and a student said that you’re back in school after school.”

　　”Thanks a lot.” Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge rushed into the pouring rain with that glimmer of hope in his heart, like a child holding a candle flame.

　　Walking out of the school, running past bus stops and convenience stores, Chen Ge stopped at an intersection.

　　Vehicles came and went, and choosing a different road would lead to a different place.

　　”Chen Ge!” A familiar voice rang out from across the road, Chen Ge followed the voice and a man in an old jacket was running across the crosswalk.

　　He was a little lower than Chen Ge, and the wrinkles of the man who was so cheerful on weekdays were becoming obvious at this time.

　　The rain dampened his coat, and the man ran to Chen Ge’s side, he gasped softly and suddenly closed his umbrella to hit Chen Ge’s arm.

　　The hand was raised high, but it didn’t hurt when it hit Chen Ge, he didn’t exert himself.

　　”Why don’t you go home! If you have something to do, let me know a bit in advance and I won’t try to stop you! Do you know how much your sister and I worry about you?”

　　Looking at the familiar face, after not seeing him for more than a year, that man seemed to have lost a lot of weight and had gray hair.

　　Chen Ge did not say anything, the candle lit in his heart was drowned out by the heavy rain.

　　At the first sight of the man, Chen Ge knew that the man in front of him was not his father, just a memory, or a fragment destined to dissipate.

　　”You’re not him.”

　　Holding the umbrella, Chen Ge walked to the man’s side and held the umbrella between the two of them.

　　In his ears was the familiar voice from memory, there was scolding, concern, disappointment, and of course more just the usual trivial just words, all those things all intertwined together to form a complete impression – father.

　　The two did not take the car, walked back home, at first the man was also angry, but after a few words, he stopped talking, father and son walked in the rain in such silence.

　　Almost to the door of the house, the man suddenly signaled Chen Ge to wait a moment, he ran to the side of the brine store to buy two pig’s feet.

　　When he came out, he saw an old man selling vegetables outside the brine store pushing a cart to avoid the rain.

　　Probably because of the rain, there were still a lot of vegetables in the old man’s tricycle that hadn’t been sold, and after sitting there for a day, some of the vegetables were already selling poorly.

　　The man took out his wallet and looked at it, walked to the old man’s side, a few moments later he carried two big bags of leftover vegetables, helped the old man to put the vegetables in the partition put away before coming back.

　　”Can we finish eating so many leftovers?” Chen Ge silently lowered his head, his mouth reciting the next sentence in his memory, “It’s fine, we have a refrigerator at home, it can last for a long time ……”

　　”It’s fine.” The man was full of concern: “Our home has a refrigerator, can be put for a long time, can eat slowly if you can’t finish it.”

　　Two people into the building, not yet walked to the door of the house, there is a house door opened.

　　A girl who looked thirteen or fourteen years old poked her head out, she heard the footsteps in the house, and didn’t wait for Chen Ge and the others to reach the door, so she hurriedly ran to open the door.

　　”Did you find me, my brother?” The girl stammered, her hands would still move uncontrollably for a few moments, she was picking at the security door, her mouth was slightly askew, her teeth spacing was much wider than normal, and her face always wore an angelic and innocent smile.

　　”Ruoyu, go back quickly, don’t fall again.” The man carried a large pile of vegetables and two marinated pig’s feet into the house, Chen Ge had been silently following behind since the beginning.

　　There wasn’t much furniture in the house, and the decoration was relatively simple, but it gave people a cozy feeling.

　　”Brother, brother ……,” that thirteen or fourteen year old girl felt just like a five or six year old child, seeing Chen Ge come in, like a rag doll lying down beside Chen Ge.

　　”Ruoyu? Luo Ruoyu?” This was the name of Director Luo’s daughter, who suffered from Angel Syndrome, and after her death, Director Luo placed her ashes in the paradise, in fact, the New Century Paradise was built for Luo Ruoyu by Director Luo in the very beginning.
