Chapter 29: Fantasy Scripture (10) Zhang Xiaodeng wanders in wonderland.

Zhang Deng left the car at his parents' house. Although Ye Hong and Zhang Deke were very angry about Zhang Deng's remarks, they had no objection to accepting the car.

Soon after He Xiaoqiu and Liu Yan left, Zhang Deng immediately proposed to leave.

Ye Hong said, "Think carefully about whether you should have said what you said today."

Zhang Deng said, "I hesitated for many years before saying this. You can hesitate for many years and then comment on my decision."

Zhang Deng left this topic for his parents, asking them to spend the rest of their lives thinking about how to face their children's indifference.

Zhang Deke said, "If you walk out of this door today, you will never need to come back."

"I haven't needed to come back for a long time," Zhang Deng said. "Every time I came back, it was because you had something to ask me."

Zhang Deng said, "I just won't come back."

Zhang Deke sat before a table of barely touched dishes, his face utterly embarrassed. He felt like a monarch guarding his own kingdom. As long as he sat on that throne, he never had to bow to his subjects. As long as he stayed within his own territory, he couldn't lose.

Zhang Deke said, "I hope you will never regret it."

"You don't understand me as well as He Xiaoqiu," Zhang Deng said before quietly opening the door and leaving. "I never do anything I regret."

Even He Xiaoqiu knew something that his parents didn't know.

Zhang Deng left with a light step. Finally reaching this point, he had mentally prepared himself long ago. From now on, he would no longer have to worry about his parents not loving him.

Zhang Deng suddenly realized what was happening and said, "I'm sorry, I gave your car away."

"It's okay," Wei Yuanye said, "I'm giving it to you. Do as you please."

Zhang Deng sighed and said, "It's just going to be troublesome to go back."

Wei Yuanye looked up to see if there were any surveillance cameras in the corridor, then put his arm around Zhang Deng's waist. Zhang Deng screamed, and then he felt a flash before his eyes. Then he seemed to be pulled away from the spot. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the stairwell of his own home.

Wei Yuanye clearly knew where there were no cameras near Zhang Deng's house, and he led him to the door with ease. Zhang Deng was still amazed even after entering the house.

"I'm not crazy!" said Zhang Deng.

Wei Yuanye: "Actually, you are."

Zhang Deng thought to himself, "Indeed."

He is indeed a madman, which is why he went through all this. But forget it, don't dwell on it. Any normal person would go crazy if they went through what he went through, not to mention that he was already a madman.

Although He Xiaoqiu had apologized to him a long time ago, in Zhang Deng's heart, tonight was the final day for the two of them.

There will probably be no other stories from now on.

Xiao Mi came over, a little bit mean, and asked cautiously, "Did you get into trouble?"

After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find out what Xiao Mi had done. He was a little upset: "What on earth did you do?"

Wei Yuanye said: "Maybe I miss you."

"What's there for me to miss?" Zhang Deng said, "Don't we see it every day?"

Zhang Deng asked again, "By the way, what are you doing back this time? Can you guys just come to other people's worlds so casually like this?"

Wei Yuanye thought for a moment and said, "There's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"What's up?"

"Would you like to live in the World Tree for a while?"

Zhang Deng blinked and let out an "ah" after a while.

Wei Yuanye said, "This is a proposal from the Special Affairs Department. Alternatively, you can choose for me to stay here with you for a while."

Zhang Deng said without hesitation: "Of course not."

Wei Yuanye knew it would turn out like this. Zhang Deng asked, "Do I have to choose? Can't I not choose?"

In Zhang Deng's opinion, this is all a matter of time. He doesn't need to go to the World Tree, nor does he need Wei Yuanye to come back to accompany him. As long as he is allowed to see Wei Yuanye occasionally when he breaks down, he will slowly get better.

But Wei Yuanye's answer disappointed him. Wei Yuanye said, "Your world is about to collapse. You can't keep going on like this."

Zhang Deng suddenly became depressed. He said with some melancholy, "But I don't want to go."

It was a completely unfamiliar place with no human touch. A sensitive and sentimental person like Zhang Deng couldn't stand a life that was too simple.

Zhang Deng asked, "What about Xiao Mi?"

"The World Tree prohibits keeping pets," Wei Yuanye said, petting Xiao Mi. "Besides, I'm always out on business, so I don't recommend you keep one. Could you please foster Xiao Mi for a while?"

Zhang Deng had just broken up with his only friend, and he couldn't think of anyone who could support Xiao Mi.

"I don't want to go." Zhang Deng said again.

Zhang Deng also didn't want Wei Yuanye to stay with him, as that would make him too pitiful, and he might be even more miserable when Wei Yuanye left.

Zhang Deng knew that going there was the best choice, but he had so many reasons not to.

Wei Yuanye said, "Or take it with you. I'll think of a way."

For a straightforward person like Wei Yuanye, when he said "I'll think of a way", he probably meant "it's very difficult to deal with".

Zhang Deng knew that Wei Yuanye would definitely help him in the end, but he didn't want to trouble Wei Yuanye so much.

Zhang Deng said, "...I'll look for adoption."

If it really doesn't work, Zhang Dengdu is planning to risk his face and ask Liu Yan to help him raise a cat. After all, he has so many nannies at home, and it won't take much effort to take care of a cat.

But at this moment, he received a message.

Zhang Deng turned on his phone and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the ID.

Hu Ningning asked, "My idol, did your Hongmen Feast go smoothly tonight?"

Ever since that night, Hu Ningning has been clinging to Zhang Deng like a dog-skin plaster, harassing him online every day and deliberately creating encounters offline. Unlike back then when she was Zhang Deng's anti-fan, now she is in love with him in a very perverted way.

Zhang Deng didn't understand the girl's train of thought. According to Hu Ningning, she only liked talented people and she would like whoever was talented.

Zhang Deng typed back to her: "Can you please stay away from my life?"

"I was very far away, my idol," Hu Ningning said, "I saw it through a telescope."

Zhang Deng didn't know what to say. He was speechless for a moment and then said, "Are you allergic to small animals?"

Hu Ningning asked, "Are you going on a long trip? Can I help foster your kitten?"

Zhang Deng: “…”

"Even though it's like that," Zhang Deng said, "it's really disgusting."

Hu Ningning said, "That's not hard to guess. Everyone who has watched your live broadcast knows that you have a kitten. If you suddenly ask about it, it must be because of the kitten."

Hu Ningning typed very quickly. She said, "Of course, give it to me."

Zhang Deng hesitated again. He didn't know if what he did was a bit too irresponsible.

He immediately regretted that he should not have been so careless in entrusting Xiao Mi to a mentally ill girl.

Zhang Deng was just deciding what to say when Hu Ningning sent a short video clip. In the video, she meowed a few times and a kitten jumped onto her from under the sofa. Hu Ningning said, "I have a kitten at home too, a little girl. I hope they can get along well."

Zhang Deng asked, "Do you have a cat at home?"

"I've always been taken care of by a nanny," Hu Ningning said. "I don't go home very often."

Zhang Deng: “…”

"Are you rich?" Zhang Deng asked.

Hu Ningning nonchalantly sent a voice message: "We star-chasers are all rich and in need of love."

"Don't worry about Xiao Mi," Hu Ningning sent another message. "Because they are all taken care of by the nanny, my house is for the cat and the nanny. I sleep on the floor outside chasing stars."

Zhang Deng said, "You should go and have your brain checked when you have time."

"My brain is hopeless," Hu Ningning said. "My parents have given up on me, and I've given up too. My stepmother beat me up when I was little, and now no one cares about me, so I just live my life to the fullest. By the way, idol, how long will you be gone? Who will you be going with? Can I go? Can I pay for it?"

Zhang Deng seemed to have suddenly realized something. So that's how it is. Suffering can never be compared, and a living person can never make any qualitative assessment. As Milan Kundera said, life is like a piece of scratch paper, always an unfinished work. Therefore, human nature is so complex, such a huge issue.

When Zhang Deng was packing Xiao Mi's luggage, Xiao Mi was wagging her tail and licking her paws on the cat climbing frame as if it had nothing to do with her. Zhang Deng thought that he would not be able to see Xiao Mi for a long time, so he imagined countless miserable stories for Xiao Mi and sat on the floor crying in despair.

Wei Yuanye knew that it would be useless for him to say anything at this moment, so he packed his luggage and pretended not to know that Zhang Deng was crying.

Zhang Deng insisted on asking him, "Do you think Xiao Mi will miss me?"

"Yes," Wei Yuanye said, "I will definitely think about it."

Zhang Deng felt even sadder: "But I don't want it to miss me."

"We can come back and look at it," Wei Yuanye said. "I can give you a report once a week."

Zhang Deng: "Then what should I do when I think about it?"

Wei Yuanye didn't know what to do. He thought Zhang Deng was very mature in facing separation. After all, they had separated some time ago, and Zhang Deng acted very calmly.

Zhang Deng said: "It's just a kitten. It has no ability to protect itself. I took it home without permission. Now I'm sending it away. It's so unfair to it."

Wei Yuanye disagreed. He cautiously retorted, "That doesn't count as sending you away."

Zhang Deng: "But in its eyes, it's just sending you away."

Wei Yuanye seemed to suddenly understand why Zhang Deng reacted like that. It was as if his Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened. Was he the kitten in Zhang Deng's mind?

In Zhang Deng's eyes, was he also so helpless in the face of separation, adopted and sent away without permission? That's why he tirelessly urged Wei Yuanye to leave quickly, in order to gain those tiny bits of initiative and create the appearance that he wasn't abandoned.

So Zhang Deng was not suddenly irrational in the face of separation, but he had never been rational. His rationality was completely a cover-up and disguise to cover up his inferiority and weakness.

Wei Yuanye was surprised that he could suddenly figure all this out. He was not a very delicate person, and he had no time to pay attention to other people's mental state. But when it came to Zhang Deng, his bottom line was always lowering. Wei Yuanye then realized that he always focused all his attention on Zhang Deng, to the point that he knew Zhang Deng like the back of his hand.

Wei Yuanye said: "Actually, Xiao Mi isn't very clingy. To him, missing you is just because he knows you, not because he needs you that much."

Zhang Deng was a little skeptical: "Is that so?"

"Before you left, I stayed at home with it, and it never looked for you," Wei Yuanye said. "So for it, 'missing you' is a compliment."

Zhang Deng didn't understand this sentence.

He wondered, was missing ever a derogatory word?

It seems that in his heart, missing someone represents weakness, incompetence and being left behind. Because he always stands still and can do nothing but miss someone, so in his world, missing someone is a derogatory word.

He didn't expect that here, he would be taught a lesson by Wei Yuanye and Pingchang, a very sad lesson.

Zhang Deng said: "These are all our speculations."

"It would be sad to speculate, and that's what you think."

In fact, Zhang Deng had to admit that Xiao Mi really didn't care about him that much, and many times he was overly dependent on Xiao Mi.

"Okay." Zhang Deng said, "You're right."

Wei Yuanye closed the luggage for Xiao Mi. Xiao Mi had more luggage than Zhang Deng. Zhang Deng wanted to bring everything for Xiao Mi. Cat food took up half of the suitcase, and there were also various hair removers, cat strips, freeze-dried food and toys. Zhang Deng was very frugal with himself, but he was very maximalistic with his cat.

Wei Yuanye said: "We will be back."

"Of course," Zhang Deng said, "I rent this house on an annual basis."

Wei Yuanye was always amazed at Zhang Deng's train of thought. To Zhang Deng, life seemed like a fruit-cutting game. He always randomly cut an orange from the complicated things and then let go of the watermelon.
