"The Zhang Ya behind Yu Jian's door likes to smile, and she is very pretty when she smiles, but I have a feeling that there is a trace of sadness hidden behind her smile.
"So, does she recognize me or not?
"Is this Zhang Ya's appearance an accident? Or is it the influence of that storybook?
"The turning point in Yu Jian's life was when his homeroom teacher resigned. It was then that he had a falling out with the ghost fetus. In other words, the most important person in Yu Jian's world behind the door is probably the 'teacher', the only person who helped him when he was in trouble."
"Does he want me to go through what he has gone through?
"Use my memory to experience his past?"
Leaning against the billboard, Chen Ge looked at the rain. "No matter what, perhaps this is the chance for me to get to know Zhang Ya better."
Patting his face lightly, Chen Ge tried to wake himself up. "Calm down! Although it feels like a youthful and inspirational school life now, who knows, it might turn into a bloody murder at some point in time, or a vengeful ghost coming for your life.
The rain did not look like it was going to stop. Chen Ge 'borrowed' an umbrella from a passerby and returned to the school.
The sky was already dark. The world behind the door appeared to have no concept of time. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and things changed very quickly.
Taking out the hammer, Chen Ge wandered around the school.
"Night has come, but the ghosts and the various evil things still haven't shown up. Is this the Li Wan City that I remember?"
There were no murderers or Red Specters. It was a normal small town.
"Wu Sheng's voice was taken away, so everyone's mouths behind his door were sewn shut. Jiang Ming's hearing was taken away, so his world is very quiet. Fang Yu's memory was taken away, so her world behind the door is a sea of gray. All the children chosen by the ghost fetus will have a broken world behind the door. Whatever the child is robbed of, the people behind the door will be missing something, but this world is obviously different.
"Everyone looks normal. They don't seem to be missing anything." Chen Ge spaced out in the empty corridor with the umbrella when his phone suddenly vibrated.
"Zhang Ya? Why is she calling me? "Chen Ge looked at the caller ID and answered the call.
"Where are you now? Why aren't you home yet! "Zhang Ya's voice came from the other side of the phone. She seemed to be very angry.
"How do you know I didn't go home?" Chen Ge felt a little strange and instinctively asked.
"Your dad is going crazy! Looking for you everywhere! He called a lot of people! "
"My father?" Chen Ge did not expect his father to show up. His eyes widened. "Where is he? I'll go look for him immediately! "
The blood in his body started to speed up. Chen Ge grabbed the umbrella and ran out of the school. A fire seemed to have been lit in his heart. Could it really be my father who came to find me? Could this world behind the door be a trap that he has set up specifically for the ghost fetus? "
"He's on his way to school. A student said you went back to school after school."
"Thank you." After hanging up, Chen Ge hugged that thread of hope and rushed into the rain like a child hugging a candle.
Exiting the school gate, he ran past the bus stop and the convenience store. Chen Ge stopped at a junction.
The cars came and went, and different roads led to different places.
"Chen Ge!" A familiar voice came from the opposite side of the road. Chen Ge followed the voice and saw a man in an old jacket running across the zebra crossing.
He was slightly shorter than Chen Ge. The normally cheerful man was so anxious that the wrinkles on his face became very obvious.
The rain soaked his jacket. The man ran to Chen Ge's side. He panted lightly and suddenly closed the umbrella to hit Chen Ge's arm.
The arm was raised high, but it did not hurt when it landed on Chen Ge's body. He did not use any force.
"Why didn't you go home? If you have something to do, you should have told me beforehand. I would not have stopped you! Do you know how worried your sister and I are about you? "
Looking at the familiar face, the man seemed to have lost a lot of weight after a year, and there was white hair on his head.
Chen Ge did not say anything. The candle in his heart was drowned by the rain.
When he first saw the man, Chen Ge knew that the man before him was not his father. He was just a memory or a fragment that was destined to disappear.
"You are not him."
Holding the umbrella, Chen Ge walked to the man's side and held the umbrella between them.
The familiar voice from his memory echoed in his ears. There was scolding, concern, disappointment, and of course, most of it was just the usual small talk. All those things weaved together to form a complete image — his father.
The two did not take the car but walked home. Initially, the man was angry, but after a few words, he stopped talking. The father and son walked in the rain in silence.
When they were close to the door, the man suddenly signaled for Chen Ge to wait. He ran to the nearby braised food shop to sell two pig's trotters.
When he came out, he saw an old man pushing a cart outside the braised food shop to avoid the rain.
Perhaps due to the rain, there were many unsold vegetables in the old man's tricycle. After a day, some of the vegetables did not look good anymore.
The man took out his wallet to look at it before walking to the old man's side. Moments later, he came back with two large bags of leftovers. He helped the old man put away the shelves before returning.
"Can we finish all these leftovers?" Chen Ge lowered his head silently, and his mouth repeated the next sentence from his memory. "It's fine, we have a fridge at home. It can last for a long time …"
"It's fine." The man did not seem to care. "We have a fridge at home. It can last for a long time. We can eat slowly."
The two walked into the corridor, and before they reached the door, one of the rooms opened.
A girl who looked about thirteen poked her head out. She had heard the footsteps from inside the room, and before Chen Ge reached the door, she rushed to open it.
"Have … have you found my big brother?" The girl stammered, and her hands would move uncontrollably. She leaned against the door, and her lips were slightly slanted. The gap between her teeth was wider than a normal person's, and there was an innocent smile on her face.
"Ruoyu, quick, go back. Don't fall again." The man carried a large pile of vegetables and two pig's trotters into the room. Chen Ge followed behind him silently.
There was not much furniture in the room, and the decoration was simple, but it gave off a warm feeling.
"Big brother …" The girl who looked thirteen felt like a child of five or six. When she saw Chen Ge walk in, she leaned against Chen Ge like a doll.
"Ruoyu? Luo Ruoyu? " That was the name of Director Luo's daughter. She suffered from Angel Syndrome, and after she passed away, Director Luo had placed her ashes at the theme park. Actually, it was Director Luo who had built New Century Park for Luo Ruoyu.
