Luo Ruoyu is the guardian spirit of New Century Paradise and also Chen Ge's childhood playmate.
They grew up together, and Chen Ge's parents treated Luo Ruoyu as their own daughter. This non-existent family member received no less love than Chen Ge.
Usually Luo Ruoyu hides in the puppet that Chen Ge made when he was a child. Later, at the Dongjiao Reservoir, Luo Ruoyu helped Chen Ge to avoid a disaster, which resulted in her being seriously injured. Once she leaves the New Century Paradise, she will lose all her abilities.
Chen Ge didn't expect that he would meet Luo Ruoyu behind Yu Jian's door, and in this way.
"It's time to eat."
The man poured the pig's trotters into two bowls and fried a few dishes. The atmosphere was quite serious at the beginning of the meal, but I don't know when everything became warm.
Chen Ge and the man both smiled. Perhaps this was the feeling between family members.
"Chen Ge, why did you come back so late today? Is it because your test scores were so bad that you didn't dare go home?" The man didn't eat much of the pig's trotters and was eating vegetables all the time. He looked much older than his actual age.
"No." Chen Ge didn't know what to say. The closer the person was to him, the harder it was to speak. He didn't want to be treated as a weirdo by his father, so it was good to maintain this false warmth.
After stretching his body, Chen Ge looked into the inner room. He did not answer the man's question, but asked casually: "Where is my mother? Why can't I see her?"
After saying this, Chen Ge felt a little regretful. He saw his father's eyes suddenly become dim, as if the whole person had lost his light.
"Are you not going home because you miss her?" The man obviously misunderstood Chen Ge's meaning: "I miss her too, but the dead cannot be resurrected."
He didn't continue the topic. He finished the rest of the meal in a few bites and turned into the kitchen.
Sitting in the living room, Chen Ge compared his current situation with Yu Jian's then situation: "Single-parent family, the most important person besides parents is a teacher, these are Yu Jian's experiences. Now I can be sure that he integrated my memories into his own experiences, and then let me experience his past."
"What is his purpose in doing this? Does he want me to understand him? Or does he want to drive me crazy and become like him?"
"The world behind the Yu Jian Gate is too peaceful and too 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 be in pain and despair."
When Chen Ge was thinking, his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone. Luo Ruoyu was lying on the dining table with her eyes wide open, and some soup had stained her clothes.
"Get up quickly."
"I miss mom, too, but I won't run around. I'll wait for her here."
"Well, we'll wait for her here." Chen Ge hugged Luo Ruoyu's head. This home was so warm and cozy. It was a memory treasured deep in his heart.
After finishing his meal, Chen Ge cleaned up the table, picked up his backpack and returned to his room.
He lay on the bed, looking at the night sky outside the window. Even at night, the sky seemed to be still overcast, with no stars or moon to be seen. All the light came from the lights in his memory.
"I always feel like something bad is going to happen." Although Chen Ge was also very sleepy, he was not brave enough to sleep behind the door.
After waiting until there was no movement outside the room, Chen Ge wrote a note and quietly came to the door of his house with his backpack.
"We can't waste our time. Yu Jian must be hiding somewhere in this town. He might be watching me in the dark."
I pushed open the door, and the moment it opened, the night faded away and daylight came.
Chen Ge stood there holding the door handle. He looked toward the window in the corridor. The sky outside was gray with thick dark clouds.
"Why is it daybreak as soon as I open the door? Does every time I go out represent a new day? Is this home the place where I start?"
"Why did you get up so early today?" Chen Ge's father, who was dressed neatly, walked out of the house and was very surprised when he saw Chen Ge.
"I want to get up early once in a while." Chen Ge prepared to do an experiment. He walked out of the room, stood outside for a while, then went back into the room and closed the door.
While closing the door, Chen Ge looked toward the window. The sky outside had already turned dark.
His father didn't go out at all, but he was exhausted and there were some tiny black particles under his skin.
"As soon as I return home and close the door, night falls immediately. When I open the door, a new day begins immediately."
Chen Ge pushed the door open again. His father said the same thing, but the fatigue on his face was more obvious, and the tiny black particles seemed to have increased.
"No! Every time a door is opened or closed, it has no effect on me, but it will cause invisible trauma to other people in the town."
"Time is limited. Perhaps after pushing the door a few more times, everything I cherish will be torn to pieces. I must find Yu Jian and figure out the secrets here before anything unexpected happens!"
The familiar faces that appeared in the town were people that Chen Ge could not forget. They were all woven from Chen Ge’s memories. If something unexpected happened to them, Chen Ge’s memories of them might also be erased.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Don't you want to go to school?" Chen Ge's father came to the door dressed neatly. He was about to leave when Chen Ge stopped him: "What's wrong?"
"If you are really the person in my memory, then you will definitely believe me, right?" Chen Ge seemed to be talking to himself.
"What are you talking about?"
"In this town, you must always pay attention to a man named Yu Jian. All the misfortunes and pains come from him."
"Yu Jian?"
"I may come home very late recently, and I may do things that ordinary people cannot understand, but I hope you can believe me, believe me at all times." Chen Ge grabbed the man's arm, and he grabbed it very hard.
"It seems like you really have encountered something." The man patted Chen Ge on the shoulder: "I believe you, but you also have to trust your family. If you really can't solve it, go home."
The sound in his ears, the touch of his fingertips, the scene in front of him, everything was too real. At one point, Chen Ge even had an illusion that this was reality.
"kindness."
Carrying his backpack, Chen Ge walked out of the house. He decided not to push the door for a long time in the future. Only in this way could he extend the time as much as possible.
"Liwan Town is not big, but it is not small either. It is too difficult to conduct a blanket investigation."
Chen Ge decided to start the search from the school. Yu Jian's transformation started from the school, and the black iron door was also in the school. Various signs indicated that there was a high probability that Yu Jian was hiding in the school.
