Chapter 1183 – When I Have All the Goodness (Next)
Chen Ge and Zhang Ya chatted until very late in the evening before walking out of the hotel, and they both stood under the dim streetlights, looking at the city in front of them.
”Your leg isn’t healed, let me take you home.” After removing the severe ghost makeup, Zhang Ya at this time had a different kind of beauty.
”It’s better if I come to take you, it’s too late, I don’t feel comfortable with you going home alone.” Chen Ge stopped a cab and entered it with Zhang Ya.
Both of them sat in the back row, and probably because of the presence of the driver, neither of them spoke anymore.
One looked out the window silently, and the other looked down at their hands.
When they arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood where Zhang Ya lived, Chen Ge sent her off again and watched her enter the building before leaving.
Gazing at Zhang Ya’s back, Chen Ge had an indescribable feeling in his heart, not exactly like, and there seemed to be a hint of pain in the sweetness.
”Reality is too good, I haven’t even dreamed again for a long time.”
Along the sidewalk, Chen Ge didn’t want to take a taxi, he walked aimlessly.
The city in front of him was prosperous and beautiful, but he always felt out of place, like a lonely forgotten person.
”I won’t work tonight, get a good night’s sleep.”
Chen Ge returned to the haunted house just after twelve o’clock at night, he skillfully opened the haunted house guardrail, lifted the blackout curtain, and entered the haunted house staff lounge.
The white cat was lying on the table tearing into the box containing cat food, and when it saw Chen Ge, it immediately jumped to the side as if to say that it had nothing to do with the cat food all over the floor.
”It seems like I’ve done this kind of action countless times, and it seems like I’ve lived in this room for a long time before.”
The beauty was intoxicating, and Chen Ge had initially thought that he could calmly handle anything, but now he realized that he wasn’t as strong as he thought.
He could face all kinds of perverted murderers and strange curses with open arms, but he would feel nervous when he was riding in a car with Zhang Ya.
”What have I been pursuing all along?”
Lying on the wooden bed, Chen Ge felt as if his body was sinking into the bedding, his whole body was wrapped in warmth, his body’s fatigue gradually dissipated, and drowsiness slowly rose up.
Early the next morning, Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm clock, he entered the bathroom and washed his face, then looked at himself in the mirror, “It’s not like I had a dream last night.”
This was the first time Chen Ge had properly gazed at himself since he had awakened, sometimes he even remembered his own looks vaguely.
”When I was in the hospital, Dr. Gao would ask me every day if I had any dreams last night? What kind of dreams? Are dreams important to me?”
Chen Ge didn’t understand too much, in his opinion dreams were just dreams, neither considered part of a delusion nor too deeply connected to reality.
The water from washing his face splashed down on the mirror, and as Chen Ge reached out to wipe the mirror, he suddenly saw in the mirror that the door to the toilet cubicle was open.
A lightning bolt seemed to cross his mind as he turned to look at the door to the toilet cubicle.
Slowly exerting force, Chen Ge pushed the door of the cubicle open, and there was nothing inside.
Sighing with relief, Chen Ge’s hanging heart dropped back into his stomach, “Everywhere in this world is normal, and everywhere feels abnormal.”
Without closing the door to the cubicle, Chen Ge walked out of the bathroom and prepared to start a new day of business.
The paradise opened at nine in the morning, and before it started business, there was already a long line of tourists outside, and some of them were young people who came specifically to play in the haunted house.
”Xiao Chen, we’ll clean the haunted house hygiene together in the future, your legs haven’t healed yet, don’t grab all the work, it’s not good for people to get exhausted.” Zhang Ya’s mother took great care of Chen Ge, it felt like she was treating Chen Ge as her own family.
”It’s fine, the doctor also said that more exercise will help with recovery.” Chen Ge led the white cat into the middle of the third floor scene, and his role as a midnight murderer had become a haunted house signature.
Strangely enough, there were many tourists who had visited the third floor scenes, but the descriptions of the homicidal maniac were not exactly the same from different tourists.
Some say they saw a bloodthirsty maniac on the third floor, hysterical, heartless, and seeing people as if they wanted to tear each other apart.
Some say they met a strange tourist on the third floor, and after kindly partnering with the other, they ended up being wiped out by the group.
Others said that there were no homicidal maniacs on the third floor at all, but the third floor seemed to be haunted.
Chen Ge had mastered several different styles of homicidal demons, switching between them at will. It was obviously the same person, but each time he brought a different feeling to others, plus the reason that the haunted house was very dimly lit, so most of the tourists thought that there were several actors hidden in this scene.
During the lunch break, Chen Ge walked out of the haunted house, ready to ask Zhang Ya something.
He had just lifted the blackout curtain when he saw several young people surrounding Zhang Ya as if they were theorizing about something.
”Did something happen?” Chen Ge came over to Zhang Ya’s side, and he swept a glance at the few young men, who inexplicably felt familiar.
”We heard earlier that your haunted house has an event that rewards ten thousand dollars for being able to clear three scenes in a row, so a few of us bought tickets and came over specifically to play.” The young man who opened his mouth to speak had a simple and honest look, “As a result, who knew that she said that your event had already closed.”
”The event is indeed closed, but if you guys don’t want to have a colorful game, I can pay five thousand at my own expense to play with you.” Chen Ge wore a smile on his face, just like his neighbor’s big brother who had good grades and a sunny disposition, “If you guys can pass the level without any problems and don’t let out more than a hundred and twenty decibels of screams, I’ll reward you with five thousand dollars, and if you guys fail, you’ll advertise the haunted house well to your relatives and friends.”
Rewarding five thousand dollars if you win, no punishment if you lose, a sure thing, several young people all agreed.
”Chen Ge, don’t be impulsive.” Zhang Ya quietly tugged on Chen Ge’s clothes: “They are students of the New Sea Medical College, some of them have even dissected real corpses, they are all very bold.”
”New Sea Medical College?” Chen Ge pondered for a while, then looked at the two students in the lead, “Can you tell me your names?”
”My name is Heshan, and this is my senior sister, Gao Ruxue.”
Chen Ge’s gaze swept over the students in front of him and finally rested on Gao Ruxue.
The moment he saw Gao Ruxue, a strange wound on Chen Ge’s back began to bleed, and a burst of stinging pain traveled into Chen Ge’s heart, as if someone was driving nails into the back of his hand.
”Chen Ge, your hand is bleeding!” Zhang Ya pulled Chen Ge to his side.
”It should have accidentally rubbed against it in the haunted house.” Chen Ge had also been feeling strange about the wound on the back of his hand, the fractured leg was almost healed, but this small wound on the back of his hand had never healed, and now it suddenly started bleeding again, which was very abnormal.
”Gao Ruxue has something to do with the wound on the back of my hand?” He buried this thought deep in his mind, his expression quickly returned to normal, and very enthusiastically brought a few students into the middle of the third floor scene.
Half an hour later, Chen Ge ran out of the haunted house with a sad face, “Zhang Ya, come do me a favor.”
Seeing Chen Ge frowning, Zhang Ya felt a little bad, “They didn’t let out any screams?”
”En.” Chen Ge scratched his head, “They were all stunned, I can’t drag them alone, can you help me?”
The corners of his eyes twitched, and Zhang Ya and the onlooking melon eating tourists all sucked in a breath of cool air.
It took twenty minutes for Chen Ge and Zhang Ya to transport those students from the third floor: “Put them in a cool and ventilated place, I’ve already done CPR on them and checked their condition, there’s no major harm, don’t worry.”
”Why are you so skillful?” Zhang Ya’s family of three all came out, Chen Ge scared so many people unconscious at once, the Paradise management was stunned.
However, fortunately, Chen Ge still had some measure left, and it didn’t take long for Heshan and the others to wake up.
”Same time as I calculated.” Chen Ge looked like it was all within my grasp, and when those few students left, he didn’t forget to say, “Come play often in the future!”
The fame of the haunted house was getting bigger and bigger, business was getting hotter and hotter, and Zhang Ya’s father, who had been more critical of Chen Ge at the beginning, was now praising Chen Ge’s good qualities to everyone, and saying that he had a good eye at the beginning, and had discovered Chen Ge’s talent right away.
Another week had passed, and the haunted house business had stabilized.
Chen Ge seemed to have endless good ideas in his head, always coming up with new designs, and the haunted house became one of the must-play programs in New Sea Paradise, and it also gained a certain level of popularity on the internet, and the overall income doubled several times compared to before.
Everything was going in the right direction, Chen Ge had met many friends, the pain in his memory was washed away by time, and there was slowly a light in his eyes.
Whenever he had free time, Chen Ge would always find Zhang Ya, and it was as if he was Zhang Ya’s shadow.
The two worked together during the day and ate together.
After work, Zhang Ya would accompany Chen Ge in his rehabilitation training, and Chen Ge’s leg injury wouldn’t affect him too much anymore.
After being together for a long time, Zhang Ya also realized that Chen Ge seemed to be very clingy to herself, but she quite liked this feeling of being inseparable.
After working continuously for a long time, on the last day at the end of the month, Xinhai Paradise had to perform maintenance and inspection of the apparatus, and it happened to be raining outside on this day, so the management decided to close the park for a day.
”I can finally take a good rest today.” Zhang Ya removed her stern ghost makeup and changed into a very pretty outfit in advance, she ran to the props room and found Chen Ge, “Chen Ge, there are no tourists today, do you have any arrangements?”
”The park is going to have apparatus maintenance, someone might come over to inspect in the afternoon, I’ll organize these props first.” Chen Ge buried his head in a pile of plastic “limbs” and “organs”.
”It’s a rare day off, are you going to spend it in the props room?” Zhang Ya bent down next to Chen Ge, “Do you want to go watch a movie?”
”Horror movie?”
Chen Ge didn’t return his head, and the white cat next to him couldn’t stand to look at it anymore, licking his paw as if he was considering whether or not to give Chen Ge a claw to help him get the hang of it.
”Watching a horror movie that’s not as good as acting it out ourselves?” Zhang Ya grabbed Chen Ge’s arm, “Let’s go, don’t stay cooped up in the house, go out for some air once in a while.”
”Wait, there’s red paint on me, it’s dirtying your clothes, hey! Wait ……”
Zhang Ya grabbed Chen Ge’s arm, and the two of them walked out of the haunted house together with an umbrella.
”Tsk, it’s good to be young.” Zhang Ya’s father stood at the second floor window of the haunted house, secretly watching everything, after he sighed, he looked towards another window next to him, where Zhang Ya’s mother stood, “Wife, it’s hard to get a break, why don’t we go to a movie too?”
”Paradise big inspection in the afternoon, you hurry up and go and organize the props, fix what needs to be fixed, patch what needs to be patched.”
”It’s not easy to take a day off ……”
”Go!”
……
Chen Ge loved rainy days, but he didn’t know for what reason he liked the rain.
After the movie broke up, the two of them spent a long time shopping at the mall again, and Zhang Ya even picked out an outfit for Chen Ge.
As they passed a small handmade DIY store, Zhang Ya pulled Chen Ge inside.
Here you can handmade homemade spelling bean keychains, cream glue cell phone shells, and couples soft ceramic small dolls.
As soon as the two of them entered the store, the store owner enthusiastically ran over, chose a very quiet location for the two of them, and then began to introduce the things in the store.
After listening for a short while, Zhang Ya decided to make soft ceramic dolls with Chen Ge.
The store owner took out a picture book with various cartoon images and instructions on how to make them, only before she finished talking, Chen Ge’s side had already pinched out a prototype.
”Your boyfriend is so handy!” The shopkeeper was really surprised, compared to Chen Ge, she felt like she was at amateur level.
”Which character is this one you pinched?” The shopkeeper rummaged through the atlas and couldn’t find a counterpart, “You didn’t compare it to the atlas? Just have an impression in your head straight away? That’s amazing, isn’t it?”
”I’ll never forget her appearance, it’s just a pity that I’m still not good enough, even if I use all my ten percent skills, I can only restore one percent of her beauty.” The soft ceramic figure in Chen Singer’s hand had slowly taken shape, wearing a red dress and holding a love letter, this magnificent woman was none other than Zhang Ya.
The store owner felt that the air was tinged with a sweet smell, and she left wisely, presenting Chen Ge and Zhang Ya with two drinks on her way out.
”Zhang Ya, this is for you.” When Chen Ge was making the dolls, it was as if his hands had been awakened to some kind of muscle memory, and the tiny soft ceramic dolls unexpectedly seemed to come to life, truly restoring Zhang Ya’s kind of thrilling beauty.
”Really!” Zhang Ya looked at the mannequin very happily, carefully placing it in front of herself, but after looking at it for a while she agonized, “I’m going to make one for you too!”
Half an hour later, Zhang Ya picked out a slightly more presentable Chen Ge doll from the pile of “broken limbs”.
She placed the doll next to Chen Ge with embarrassment, then lowered her head and gulped down her drink.
The two of them sat together, close together, and time passed without them realizing it.
They made dolls, keychains, and went out to eat together, doing many things they wanted to do.
Night fell, and the rain slowly became heavier.
There weren’t many pedestrians on the road, so Chen Ge and Zhang Ya held an umbrella.
At first Zhang Ya just grabbed Chen Ge’s arm, slowly, she leaned on Chen Ge’s side.
”Shall I send you home?”
”How about …… walking further.”
Raindrops slid down the leaves and umbrellas, the water on the roadside reflected the neon lights at the intersection, and Chen Ge and Zhang Ya walked on the sidewalk of the old street.
”Chen Ge ……”
”What’s wrong?”
”Actually, since I met you, I’ve been dreaming every night.” Zhang Ya leaned against Chen Ge, “Very scary dreams, I always dream that my parents were killed in a car accident and I myself fell in a pool of blood. I would always dream that I was wearing a bloody dress and wandering around a hospital. I also dreamt that the world was a city full of dead people, and you were the only ghost in the city with a temperature.”
