Luo Ruoyu was the guardian spirit of New Century Park and Chen Ge's childhood playmate.
They had grown up together, and Chen Ge's parents treated Luo Ruoyu like their own daughter. This non-existent family member received as much love as Chen Ge did.
Normally, Luo Ruoyu hid inside the doll that Chen Ge had made when he was young. Later, at the Eastern Jiujiang Dam, Luo Ruoyu had helped Chen Ge survive a tragedy, and it had caused her to be heavily injured. Once she left New Century Park, she would lose all her power.
Chen Ge did not expect to run into Luo Ruoyu behind Yu Jian's door, and in such a way.
"It's time to eat."
The man poured the pork trotters into two bowls and cooked a few dishes. When they started to eat, the atmosphere was quite serious, but at some point, it became warm.
Both Chen Ge and the man had smiles on their faces. Perhaps this was the feeling between family.
"Chen Ge, why did you come back so late today? Is it because you're too scared to go home because your results are too bad? "The man did not eat much pork trotters and had been eating the dishes. He looked much older than his actual age.
"No." Chen Ge did not know what to say. The closer he was to someone, the harder it was for him to say it. He did not want his father to treat him like a weirdo, so it was not bad to maintain this fake warmth.
Stretching his body, Chen Ge looked around the room. He did not answer the man's question but asked casually, "Where's my mother? How come I don't see her? "
After saying that, Chen Ge regretted it. He saw his father's eyes dim like the light had gone out of him.
"Is it because you miss her that you don't want to go home?" The man obviously misunderstood Chen Ge's meaning. "I miss her too, but the dead cannot come back to life."
He did not continue this topic. He finished the rest of the food and turned to enter the kitchen.
Sitting in the living room, Chen Ge compared his current situation to Yu Jian. "A single-parent family. Other than parents, the most important person is a teacher. These are all Yu Jian's experiences. Now, I can confirm that he fused my memory into his own experience, and then let me experience his past. "
"What is his goal? You want me to understand him? Or do you want to drive me crazy and become like him? "
"The world behind Yu Jian's door is too peaceful and normal. All the beautiful things in my memory are around me. If one day, all these things are taken away and torn apart, I will definitely feel pain and despair, too."
While Chen Ge was thinking, his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. Luo Ruoyu was lying on the dining table with her eyes wide open. Some of the soup had stained her clothes.
"Get up."
"I, I miss mom too, but I, I won't run around. I'll wait for her here."
"Yes, we'll wait for her here." Chen Ge hugged Luo Ruoyu's head. This family was too warm. It was a memory that he had treasured deep in his heart.
After dinner, Chen Ge cleaned up the table, picked up his backpack and returned to his room.
He lay in bed and looked at the night sky outside the window. Even at night, the sky appeared to be covered in dark clouds. The moon and stars could not be seen. All the light came from the lights in his memory.
"I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen." Even though Chen Ge was very sleepy, he was not brave enough to sleep behind the door.
After there was no movement outside the room, Chen Ge wrote a note and carried his backpack to the door.
"I can't waste any more time. Yu Jian must be hiding somewhere in this small town. Perhaps he's watching me from the dark."
He pushed open the door. The moment the door opened, the night disappeared, and the sun rose.
Chen Ge stood where he was, holding the doorknob. He looked at the window in the corridor. The sky outside was gray, and it was covered in thick clouds.
"How come it's already morning when I open the door? Does it mean that every time I leave the house, it means that a new day has begun? Is this home the place where everything begins? "
"Why are you up so early today?" Chen Ge's father, who was dressed neatly, walked out from the room. When he saw Chen Ge, he was shocked.
"Occasionally, I feel like waking up early." Chen Ge planned to do an experiment. He walked out from the room, stood outside for a while, and then reentered the room and closed the door.
When he closed the door, Chen Ge looked out the window. The sky outside was already dark.
His father did not leave the room, but he was covered in exhaustion. There were small black dots under his skin.
"Once I return home and close the door, night will fall. When I push open the door, a new day will start. "
Chen Ge pushed the door open again. His father said the same thing, but the tiredness on his face was more obvious, and the number of black dots appeared to have increased.
"No! Even though it doesn't affect me every time I open and close the door, it will cause invisible damage to the other people in this small town.
"Time is limited. Perhaps after a few pushes, everything that I value will be torn apart. I have to find Yu Jian before that happens and get to the bottom of the secret here!"
The people that appeared in this small town were people that Chen Ge could not forget. They were all woven from Chen Ge's memory. If something happened to them, perhaps Chen Ge's memory of them would be erased as well.
"Why are you standing at the door? Don't you want to go to school anymore? " Chen Ge's father came to the door, dressed neatly. He was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Ge. "What's wrong?"
"If you are really the person in my memory, then you will believe me, right?" Chen Ge seemed to be talking to himself.
"What are you talking about?"
"In this small town, you have to pay attention to a person called Yu Jian. All the misfortune and pain originates from him."
"Yu Jian?"
"I might return home late and do things that normal people will not understand, but I hope that you can trust me. No matter what happens, you have to trust me." Chen Ge grabbed the man's arm, and he used a lot of strength.
"Looks like something has indeed happened to you." The man patted Chen Ge on his shoulder. "I believe you, but you have to believe in your family as well. If you can't solve it, then go home."
The voice in his ears, the touch on his fingertips, the image before his eyes, everything was too real. For a moment, Chen Ge even had the illusion that this was reality.
"Okay."
Carrying the backpack, Chen Ge walked out of the house. He decided that he would not push the door at home for a long time. Only then would he be able to prolong the time.
"Li Wan City is not that big, but it's not that small either. A carpet search is too difficult."
Chen Ge decided to start his search at the school. Yu Jian's change had started at the school, and the black iron door was also at the school. All the signs pointed to the high chance that Yu Jian was hiding at the school.
