Chapter 1046 – You have her who is inseparable, but I only have the evil that does not leave my soul.

　　”What are you doing outside? Why don’t you go inside the house?”

　　Upon seeing Chen Ge, the exhaustion on his father’s face dissipated a bit and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

　　”Why did you run to your teacher’s house yesterday? It’s not good to trouble people so much.”

　　The familiar nagging voice came from the man, who didn’t complain to Chen Ge about how hard he worked, nor did he use the reason of how hard he worked as a reason to ask Chen Ge what to do.

　　”Come on in, it’s good to be back, I’ll go cook for you.”

　　”I can’t go in.” Chen Ge stood in place, last night he searched part of Liwan Town’s eastern and western districts, give him two more days and he could almost search the entire Liwan Town.

　　”What’s wrong?” The man didn’t expect Chen Ge to be reluctant to go in even though he was standing in front of his home, he stopped as well, “This is our home, it’s a place where you can be appeased when you’re feeling tired and down, I don’t know what you’re afraid of?”

　　Home was a very cozy place in Chen Ge’s memories, but in Yu See’s heart it might not be like that, as soon as he entered his home darkness would fall and only when he left his home would the sky light up.

　　Chen Ge wasn’t sure why Yu See would have such an impression of creating, although he didn’t have a father, he had a mom who loved her very much.

　　Seeing that Chen Ge was still standing still, the man didn’t force himself, “At least when I’m done cooking, you can come in and eat some.”

　　He sighed softly and entered the kitchen, it wasn’t long before the sound of dishes falling suddenly came from the house, Chen Ge’s father seemed to have fallen.

　　His body instinctively stepped into the room, Chen Ge directly ran over, the man’s back was against the wall, covering his stomach, and on the floor was a floor of broken porcelain.

　　”Medicine, the medicine is in the outer pocket.”

　　Chen Ge hurriedly ran over and found a small bottle of medicine, the label on the bottle was torn off, it was impossible to tell what kind of medicine it was.

　　”Let me cook, you go take a good rest.” Chen Ge helped the man up, Luo Ruoyu lay on the kitchen door and watched, her eyes full of worry.

　　After cooking, Chen Ge sent Luo Ruoyu back to her room, and after covering her up, she poured two cups of hot water and entered her father’s bedroom.

　　Closing the door to his room, Chen Ge placed the cups of water on the nightstand and moved a chair to sit beside his father’s bed.

　　He grabbed his father’s hand and looked at the weak, exhausted man on the bed.

　　In his impression, his father was a mysterious, cheerful, very interesting person who knew many things and could solve whatever difficulties he encountered.

　　That tall back, always standing in front of him, shielding him from the wind and rain, he never imagined that one day that figure would be so weak lying on the bed.

　　The pain coming from his abdomen caused his body to curl, and he arched his back as if he was not too willing to let Chen Ge see himself like this.

　　”It’s been more than twenty years, we’ve never talked like this before, life pushed me to keep moving forward, everything I took for granted, until the day you guys left, I didn’t realize that my so-called independence was just a life skill independence.” Chen Ge said a lot of things that were buried in his heart that he couldn’t tell anyone else.

　　”What are you talking about?” The man’s face was a little pale as he leaned back against the pillows and hesitated for a long time, as if he wanted to say something to Chen Ge, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and just casually joked, “Who did you learn to cook from? The flavor is very good.”

　　”Maybe the genes inherited are better.” Chen Ge handed the hot water to his own father, “What kind of medicine did you just take?”

　　”It’s for stomach problems, it’s not a problem.”

　　”It’s better to treat illnesses as early as possible, don’t worry about it at home, I’ll take care of Ruoyu.”

　　The man in front of him was Chen Ge’s own memories, and now it was as if he was quieting his mind and conversing with his “father” in a special way.

　　The two of them talked for a long time and solved all the misunderstandings.

　　In the middle of the conversation, Chen Ge was worried about the man’s health and wanted him to take an early rest, but the man stubbornly kept Chen Ge by his side, constantly explaining the responsibilities he should take on as the head of the family.

　　The words he said the most were, take care of yourself and take care of your sister.

　　When it was almost dawn, the rainstorm stopped, and Chen Ge also walked to the door of the house again, but before he could walk out of the room, there was a sound coming from his father’s bedroom.

　　He hurried over and found the man sitting fully dressed on the edge of the bed, one hand covering his stomach and the other rummaging through a drawer for something.

　　”You shouldn’t go to work today.” Chen Ge helped him find the medicine and looked at the greenish-black veins on the back of his hand; it wasn’t an illness, it was a curse, the Underworld Fetus and Yu See were cursing Chen Ge’s memories.

　　The increasingly weakened father was because they were up to no good, they should be preparing to go after all the people Chen Ge loved dearly, so that Chen Ge could experience despair as well.

　　Flipping through the comic book, Chen Ge tried to call out one name after another, a tiny thread of blood appearing on the comic book.

　　”I need more time.”

　　Letting the man rest at home, Chen Ge lifted his backpack and went to school.

　　When he entered the school gates, he didn’t feel anything out of place, the day was just like any other day.

　　When he arrived at the classroom, many students had already arrived, some were starting to prep for today’s lesson, some were memorizing vocabulary, and some were catching up on their homework.

　　Chen Ge sat in his seat, he glanced to the side, Du Ming was lowing his head and revising something, the side of his desk close to Chen Ge had homework from all subjects neatly laid out.

　　Du Ming didn’t speak to Chen Ge, but the meaning he wanted to convey was obvious – take whatever you need to copy yourself.

　　Compared to Du Ming, who was still a child, Chen Ge was even a thousand-year-old fox fairy, and he knew that Du Ming had been keeping an eye on him.

　　What’s happening to this guy? Why did he suddenly stop talking to me? Could the source of the rumors be him?

　　The Du Ming in his own memories was the kind of person who was more selfish, but he never went about spreading rumors, he wasn’t interested in rumor gossip at all, and with the time to spread rumors it would be better to make more papers.

　　Don’t look at this little fat boy’s mouth is very broken, but it’s a school bully whose grades never fall out of the top ten of his age, and he has very little recreational time and is very self-disciplined.

　　Chen Ge didn’t touch Du Ming’s homework, took out his English textbook and read it against his homework.

　　”Let’s do the multiple choice questions first, if only the Pen Fairy was there.”

　　The third period in the morning was English class, and when Zhang Ya entered the classroom, many of the students in the class immediately began to talk to each other.

　　The rumors and malicious slander didn’t affect Zhang Ya’s state, she was still acting as usual.

　　When it came to the fourth class, Chen Ge was listening to a rare lesson when he suddenly received a phone call.

　　The caller was a colleague of his father’s, and the other party said that his father had suddenly fainted and was hospitalized, asking him to hurry over.

　　As the eldest son in the family, Chen Ge gave his teacher a brief explanation, then hurriedly left the school and rushed to the hospital in Liwan town.

　　Pushing open the door of the hospital room, Chen Ge’s father was still in a coma: “Doctor, what kind of disease does my father have?”

　　”We’re checking it out, stay calm, please sit outside and wait, don’t disturb the patient.”

　　Chen Ge was kicked out of the ward by the doctor, he stood guard on the bench outside the hospital, ten minutes later another footstep appeared in the corridor.

　　”Chen Ge, what did the doctor say?” Zhang Ya also rushed to the hospital, she knew Chen Ge’s family situation and was Chen Ge’s homeroom teacher, so she felt she should come over at this time.

　　Seeing Zhang Ya come over, Chen Ge was slightly relieved, “It’s being examined, I reckon that with the medical level of the town hospital, even if they check out what the disease is, they won’t be able to treat it.”

　　Through the window on the ward, Chen Ge saw his father’s black and blue arm, those black particles that represented the curse had spread over a large area.

　　”If there’s anything I can help you with, just say so.” Zhang Ya handed Chen Ge the lunchbox in her hand, “I don’t have classes in the afternoon, so you can go back later, I’ll keep watch here, and if anything happens, I’ll notify you first.”

　　”It’s better for me to stay here, I have a bad premonition.” Chen Ge and Zhang Ya didn’t go to school in the afternoon, when it was about to get dark, Chen Ge’s father came to his senses, he was in a very poor state.

　　”Leave the house to me, you get well.” Chen Ge called out the name of the red high heeled shoes in his heart and got no response, but a very thin line of blood appeared on the page in the comic book where the red high heeled shoes were hiding.

　　The employees were on the verge of breaking free, and Chen Ge held his father’s hand, his feelings at this point few could understand.

　　The time when all the red clothes all appeared was the time when this world would shatter, he would be able to return to reality and at the same time lose everything he had now.

　　After dark, Chen Ge returned home, he just entered the building, Luo Ruoyu who heard the footsteps ran over and opened the door.

　　No matter how tired or hard it is, coming home with the lights on in the house and someone opening the door for you, this is one of the simplest kinds of happiness.

　　”Brother, brother ……”

　　”Dad is staying outside these days, he won’t be back for a while, brother will cook for you, okay?”

　　Luo Ruoyu didn’t understand what hospitalization meant, she just saw that Chen Ge was happy.

　　Entering the house, Chen Ge made the meal and brought it to the table, but Luo Ruoyu didn’t bother to eat it.

　　”What’s wrong? Not appetizing?”

　　”Dad, where’s Dad?” Luo Ruoyu held the bowl, wanting to wait for Chen Ge’s father to come back to eat together.

　　”He’s sick and has to be hospitalized, he’ll be back in a few days.” Chen Ge sat on the other side of the table, and the hut with only two people seemed a little cold.

　　He was sitting where his father used to sit at the moment, maybe this was how the two people in the house ate when he didn’t come home in the past.

　　”Where is Dad ……” Luo Ruoyu held the bowl, still looking at Chen Ge with bated breath, she kept repeating her inquiry, seemingly on the verge of tears in her anxiety.

　　A single explanation did not appease Luo Ruoyu, Chen Ge dialed his father’s phone and placed the phone in Luo Ruoyu’s ear.

　　Hearing her father’s voice, the little girl was happy.

　　Chen Ge placed the cell phone on the table, and Luo Ruoyu finally started eating.

　　Listening to his father’s occasional coughing on the cell phone, Chen Ge did not touch the rice on the table, he silently looked at Luo Ruoyu, at the slightly cold old house.

　　”The owner of this house is my father, if he leaves one day, I will help him take care of everything. Come to think of it, this old house is just like the House of Horrors in the western suburbs.” Chen Ge didn’t suddenly understand the significance of Luo Ruoyu’s existence in the world behind the door until this time, Luo Ruoyu was the Li Gui who accompanied him from the very beginning in Chen Ge’s memories, and this younger sister represented the family members other than his parents in fact, and represented those employees in Chen Ge’s memories that he couldn’t let go of.

　　”In order to take care of Luo Ruoyu, I won’t fall down easily either.”

　　After putting Luo Ruoyu to sleep at night, Chen Ge stayed in the house, as soon as he pushed the door open the next day would come, and in order to delay as much as possible, he didn’t go anywhere.

　　There was more and more blood in the comic book, and the rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier.

　　After dawn, Chen Ge carried his bag to school, and the strange stares around him began to increase.

　　He didn’t care about this, rumors and verbal attacks alone couldn’t make his emotions rise and fall at all.

　　When he came to the classroom, Chen Ge realized that Du Ming’s state was getting worse and worse, his face had more dark circles under his eyes, his lips were dry and cracked, and he always didn’t dare to look Chen Ge in the eyes.

　　Chen Ge still didn’t go to copy Du Ming’s homework, he knew that Du Ming seemed to be harboring something in his heart, he would still go to talk to Du Ming during recess, but Du Ming’s reaction was very strange, it seemed as if he had to make some kind of determination to even talk to Chen Ge.

　　”Did you run into something?” Chen Ge didn’t think that Du Ming would go spreading rumors, but he felt that Du Ming might know something.

　　After school at noon, Chen Ge first went to the hospital to buy his father a good meal, then sold two more meals outside to bring back to Luo Ruoyu.

　　He couldn’t go home, so he gave the rice to Luo Ruoyu at the door, and the two siblings sat in the hallway while Chen Ge ate and told Luo Ruoyu a story.

　　With more contact, Chen Ge is more sure that Luo Ruoyu’s existence is actually referring to the haunted house employees, she was at first only willing to stay in the house, never step out half a step, but with Chen Ge’s help, she began to choose to contact with the outside world, breathing the air outside the house.

　　After watching Luo Ruoyu finish her meal, Chen Ge went back to school, he would occasionally send a few messages with Zhang Ya, there was always a lot to talk about between the two of them, and they would never get bored.

　　When he returned home in the evening, Chen Ge began to teach Luo Ruoyu to organize her room, as well as some other basic life skills.

　　Things that normal people could easily do were very difficult for Luo Ruoyu, she couldn’t control her body, and she couldn’t understand a lot of words, so she needed to repeat them over and over again.

　　It took a long time to teach, but the gains were small, but even so, Chen Ge would still constantly praise Luo Ruoyu.

　　Alternating between day and night, days like this passed for several days in a row, Chen Ge never closed his eyes, and his mental state seemed to have reached its limit.

　　On the morning of the ninth day after Chen Ge entered the world behind the door, a few pages of the comic book in his backpack were finally stained red with blood, and he finally made contact with his staff.

　　”The final contest, it should be about to begin.”

　　Carrying his backpack, he pushed open the door to his house, the gray sky pressed overhead as if he could reach out and touch it.

　　Not only the school, the neighbors also started to look at Chen Ge and Luo Ruoyu with the same gaze, rumors had spread.

　　Arriving at school, the first class of the day was English, Chen Ge was ready early.

　　Du Ming hadn’t said a word to him in the past few days, and the originally mouthy little fatty had become silent.

　　He no longer communicated with anyone, his face was getting worse and worse, as if he was seriously ill, his academic performance was also affected, yesterday’s small test he even regressed ten places at once.

　　”Need any help?” Chen Ge had finished exploring Liwan Town within these nine days, and although he hadn’t found Yu See, he had already roughly guessed where Yu See was hiding through all the clues.

　　This match had actually started from the moment he stepped into the world behind the door.

　　Lying on the table, Du Ming accidentally revealed the bruises under his long sleeves, and he looked as if he was even more exhausted than Chen Ge.

　　”Your family beat you up? Because of the regression in academic performance?” Chen Ge’s voice was small, but Du Ming could hear him clearly, he clenched his hands together, then slowly loosened them again, and finally just buried his face in his textbook.

　　The morning class started, and only halfway through the first period, Chen Ge and the students in the class heard an argument in the hallway.

　　The sound seemed to be coming from the office side, and when it was said to be an argument, it was actually more of a woman loudly reprimanding.

　　Upon hearing this voice, Du Ming’s face got even worse, and he looked very distressed.

　　There was some self-reproach, a little feeling of shame, but more than that, it was an indescribable emotion.

　　After surviving until the end of class, Chen Ge immediately carried his bag and prepared to go over, and as he was leaving his seat, Du Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”Sorry.” Du Ming let go of his hand after he finished speaking, Chen Ge had actually guessed a generalization, he took a deep breath and ran out of the classroom.

　　The door to the office seemed to be locked, Chen Ge pushed aside the students lying on either side of the window and looked inside through the window on the door.

　　Four students’ parents were pointing at a female teacher and reprimanding her, their spittle flying and their distorted faces zooming by.

　　Director Shi kept explaining, promising that he would deal with it seriously.

　　The office was in an uproar, the students outside the office were watching with great interest, the onlookers were in ecstasy, and only Chen Ge was silently staring at the female teacher.

　　Groundless accusations, unfounded charges, rumors that got more and more outrageous.

　　Chen Ge wanted to take out his skull-crushing hammer and rush in, but he didn’t do that, what could he do if this really happened in reality?

　　If it happened to a child as old as him, what could he do at this point?

　　The truth was he couldn’t do anything but stand outside and watch, any overreaction would make things worse.

　　”Has Yuumi ever been this helpless?”

　　”Being parasitized by the Stygian Fetus, he possesses even more terrifying abilities than I. He could have gone ahead and killed everyone in the room, but he didn’t do that.”

　　”The Stygian Fetus must have been constantly egging him on to become an evil spirit that hates everything, but he went against the will of the Stygian Fetus, and his disagreement with the Stygian Fetus should have culminated at this very moment.”

　　The students gathered more and more, and the teacher in the office finally gave in.

　　The door to the office was opened, and the parent at the front of the line was a middle-aged woman who looked stern with lingering anger on her face.

　　She walked out of the office just in time to see Chen Ge, her anger instantly rushed to the top of her head, and she was about to snap when the female teacher who they had reprimanded earlier walked over and stood between her and Chen Ge.

　　”Anything that happens has nothing to do with the students.” The female teacher said very little, but her attitude was very firm, not allowing a single step, completely different from her usual gentle appearance.

　　The woman cursed a very unpleasant word again, which was pulled away by the other parents, and several parents left the school accompanied by Director Shi.

　　”All go back to class, don’t stand here watching.” The female teacher let the students leave, she gave Chen Ge one last look and said softly, “You should go back to class soon as well.”

　　”Let’s talk at noon.” Chen Ge said three words and waited until the crowd dispersed before leaving next to the female teacher.

　　When he returned to the classroom, Du Ming was lying on his desk pretending to be asleep.

　　”Du Ming, why did your mom come to school?”

　　Du Ming, who was lying on the desk, didn’t say anything and only his very heavy breathing could be heard.

　　”She seems to have put all the wrongs on Mr. Zhang, when in fact the one who made the mistakes was me.” Chen Ge gripped the pen in his hand hard, his voice slowly getting louder.

　　”I’m the one who affected your studies, I’m the one who asked you to borrow your homework, and I’m the one who found you every day to chat and delayed your studies.”

　　”The entire grade is watching, everyone is blaming Mr. Zhang, but I’m clearly the one who did wrong!”

　　”You stop it!” Du Ming finally opened his mouth, he was very emotional and seemed to be even more upset than Chen Ge.

　　Seeing Du Ming like this, Chen Ge didn’t want to continue to irritate him, and just said one last thing: “We both have poor relationships, neither of us has any friends, and the only ones who can chat in the entire class are each other, so looking at it this way, you’re actually considered my only friend.”

　　Hearing Chen Ge’s words, Du Ming seemed like he had asthma and was in particular pain.
