"Where am I?"
Looking at the unfamiliar yet familiar surroundings, Lin Huang looked around. After a while, he was stunned.
It was a single apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, and one kitchen. The decorations were exactly the same as the room that Lin Huang lived in before he traveled to this world two years ago. To be exact, it was the house that he lived in before he traveled to this world.
There was a hole on the sofa in the living room that he had accidentally burned with a cigarette when he fell asleep. There was also a crack on the ashtray on the coffee table that he had accidentally dropped when he was cleaning it. There was a row of novels that he had collected on the multifunctional cabinet under the television.
Lin Huang rushed to the bedroom immediately. The blanket in the bedroom was folded in a simple way that he was used to. It covered almost half of the bed and was hung at the end of the bed. The picture on the pillowcase was the same dark blue starry sky that complemented the blanket. There was his watch and keys under the lamp on the bedside table on the left. His jeans, T-shirt, underwear, and socks were hung on the drying pole on the balcony outside the bedroom door.
"I … am back on Earth?" As the scene in his memory overlapped with the environment in front of him, Lin Huang had a complicated expression on his face.
He had thought of many possibilities such as what kind of fear he would feel after activating the heart-glimpsing rune. However, he had never thought that he would be back on Earth.
Just when Lin Huang was still digesting the shock in his heart, the phone in his pocket vibrated all of a sudden. Throughout the two years, Lin Huang had gotten used to using his Emperor's Heart Ring and had forgotten that he had a phone.
Taking out the Fruit phone from his pocket, Lin Huang looked at the unfamiliar caller ID. It was Xiao Wang.
At that moment, Lin Huang looked at his phone with a conflicted expression. He was hesitant if he should pick up the call. Too many things had happened in the past two years that he could not remember who exactly Xiao Wang was.
Holding the phone in his hand, Lin Huang did not pick up the call right away. However, the phone kept vibrating. It was obvious that the person called Xiao Wang was persistent.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Huang picked up the call.
"Xiao Wang, what's the matter?" He still couldn't remember who this Xiao Wang was.
"Senior Brother, do you want to come out for a drink tonight?" Hearing this voice and this form of address, Lin Huang finally remembered who this kid was.
Xiao Wang, whose original name was Wang Zhi, was a junior who graduated from the same university as him. He had just joined the company this year and was quite a clever kid. After he was assigned to work for me, he would treat me to drinks, soak my feet, give me massages, and ask me about business matters almost every week. Later on, the two of them became familiar with each other and didn't need to do this anymore. Occasionally, they would go out for drinks and meals together.
"I have something to do today, maybe another day." Lin Huang declined. After all, his memory had not fully recovered. If he rashly met an acquaintance at this time, it would be easy for them to see through him.
"Oh, okay then. You're busy." Little Wang tactfully hung up the phone.
Lin Huang walked around the house. The kitchen and bathroom were still the same. The mop in the bathroom was not completely dry and the trash in the kitchen had not been emptied.
He vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the state of the house before he transmigrated. He looked down at the date displayed on his cellphone — Saturday, June 3rd, 2017. It was the day he transmigrated.
"Have I completely returned to the day I transmigrated?" Lin Huang looked at the time again. It was already 9: 41 in the morning. "I remember glancing at the time before I transmigrated. It was 9: 40. This means that the time I was sent back is completely extended from the time I transmigrated. "
Lin Huang didn't quite understand why the heart-glimpsing rune would send him back to this place.
There was really nothing on Earth that Lin Huang was afraid of. In the past two years, he had seen too many things in the other world. Even if a random transcendent monster was released on Earth, it could lead to the extinction of the entire human race.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Lin Huang lit a cigarette for himself. He only knew that he had been sent back to Earth, but he had no idea what would happen next.
In the house, the quiet atmosphere lasted for less than three minutes before Lin Huang's cellphone in his trouser pocket vibrated again.
This time, when he saw the caller ID, Lin Huang was stunned again.
This was because the caller ID showed that the caller ID was his mother.
On Earth, Lin Huang's mother died in a car accident when he was nine years old.
Lin Huang struggled for a long time as to whether he should answer the call or not. In the end, he chose to answer it.
As soon as the phone was connected, Lin Huang didn't speak, but a familiar yet strange voice came from the other side.
"Xiao Mu Tou, today is the weekend. Do you want to come back for lunch? Mom made dumplings for you. They're stuffed with chives and eggs. "
Xiao Mu Tou was Lin Huang's nickname. As for the origin of this nickname, it was mainly because Mother Lin had given Father Lin the nickname Mu Tou. Later, when Lin Huang was born, Father Lin's nickname became Big Mu Tou, and Xiao Mu Tou became Lin Huang's nickname.
Hearing this voice, Lin Huang was dumbfounded. He never thought that one day he would hear his mother's voice again.
Chives and eggs stuffed with dumplings were his favorite food when he was a child. When he was in elementary school, as long as he did well in his exams, his mother would make dumplings for him.
"Hey, can you hear me? Why is there no sound? "Mother Lin's voice came again.
Lin Huang's tears rolled down uncontrollably. "Mom … I miss you."
"What's wrong? Did you suffer?" Although Mother Lin didn't hear the sound of Lin Huang's sobbing, she could hear the abnormality in his tone.
"No." Lin Huang forced himself to calm down and then couldn't help but ask, "Is Dad home?"
"Your dad is next to you. I'll let him talk to you." Mother Lin didn't quite understand what was going on, but she still gave the phone to Father Lin.
"Son, what's wrong?" Father Lin's energetic voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lin Huang's tears still flowed out uncontrollably, but he still forced himself to calm down. "Dad, it's nothing … I'll go home and eat dumplings later."
"Oh, be careful on the road." Father Lin reminded him.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Huang's body trembled slightly, and his tears gushed out like a broken dam.
When Lin Huang was on Earth, Mother Lin died in a car accident when he was nine years old. Since then, Father Lin had been depressed and died of a heart attack when Lin Huang was thirteen years old. Lin Huang's grandmother supported him until he finished high school before he went to college. In the end, his grandmother also passed away in Lin Huang's sophomore year. He relied on student loans and part-time work to finish college, so after graduating from college, he understood the need to work hard more than most people.
And this time, the Earth that he was transported to was not the Earth that he originally came from, but a parallel world where his parents were still alive.
