Chapter 979 The Fish with Only One Day's Memory



It seemed as if rain was falling from the night sky. In this small park with overgrown grass and trees that was about to be demolished, Chen Ge met a strange woman.

"Excuse me, do you know Fang Yu?"

The woman seemed to only be able to say this one sentence. She looked at Chen Ge with her clear eyes, like a lake on the plateau, without any impurities.

"Fang Yu?" Chen Ge took out the photo and handed it to the woman: "Is it him?"

Holding the photo in both hands, the woman looked at the boy in the photo. She looked at him for a long time, then shook her head: "I don't know."

"This photo was taken in the park. The boy is facing the camera, and the photographer is standing right here." Chen Ge stood up and walked to the fountain. "Still have no impression at all?"

The woman stood there, with confusion in her eyes.

"Okay, maybe I made a mistake." Chen Ge returned to the bench, and the woman sat down on the bench after a while.

She smelled of shampoo and her clothes were clean, and she didn't look like someone who was unable to live independently.

"Um... can I ask you a question?" Chen Ge looked at the woman. The woman's profile was very beautiful, but her cheeks were covered with a lot of tattoos, which made people feel amazed but also a little scared.

"Why are you here looking for squarefish so late at night?"

“I seem to come here every day, but I don’t know why I come here.”

"Do you know that this park is about to be demolished? You may not be able to come here in the future." Chen Ge held the photo and looked at the woman.

After hearing his words, the woman did not answer, but stared blankly at the name tattooed on the back of her hand.

"Why are you looking for Fang Yu? Is he your family?" Chen Ge tried to communicate with the girl. He wanted to open the girl's heart. Only by knowing more things could he help her.

"I don't remember, but I have his name tattooed all over my body, probably because I don't want to forget him."

As the rain fell, two strangers sat on a rusty bench in a dilapidated park.

"Actually... I know Fang Yu." Chen Ge lowered his head, and the woman next to him looked over in surprise.

"Do you know Fang Yu?" The woman stood up: "Can you take me to see him?"

"Okay, but before that, I want to confirm one thing with you." Chen Ge once again placed the photo in front of the girl: "Do you really have no impression of this boy at all? Just now I noticed that you stared at the photo for a long time."

"I have no impression. I have never seen him. However..." The woman pointed at the faceless boy in the photo and said, "He seems to be very important to me."

The woman's words struck Chen Ge like lightning. He recalled the introduction of the photo on the black phone - the first time I realized I had forgotten you was when I saw your photo. I don't remember who the person in the photo was, but I felt that he was very important to me.

"Please keep this photo." Chen Ge stuffed the photo into the woman's hand.

"Why do you want to give me the photo?" the woman was puzzled.

"The faceless boy in the photo is Fang Yu." Chen Ge had been observing the woman's reaction until she learned that the boy in the photo was Fang Yu, and then a hint of spirit appeared in the woman's eyes.

She was like a baby who opened his eyes and saw the world for the first time, her clear eyes staring at the faceless boy in the photo.

"Can you help me find him?"

"Okay, but it's too late now. It's not safe for you to be outside alone. I'll take you home first." Chen Ge was sure that the girl was not a ghost because her body was warm.

Grabbing the photo with both hands, the woman hesitated for a long time before nodding and agreeing: "Okay."

She didn't put the photo in her pocket, but walked out of the park with it in both hands.

The woman looked a little scary. Pedestrians who saw her avoided her. She seemed to be afraid of strangers as well. She tried to walk in places where street lights could not reach and kept her head down, as if she did not want to cause trouble to others.

Chen Ge asked the woman to walk on the inside of the sidewalk while he walked on the outside. He silently accompanied the woman across the road, walked through one street after another, and finally stopped outside a dilapidated apartment building in the old city.

Along the way, the woman kept her head down, holding the photos with both hands, and didn't say a word.

"Little fish!"

As soon as Chen Ge and the woman walked downstairs, a fat-looking auntie ran out of the corridor holding an umbrella: "It's raining, I was just about to pick you up!"

The aunt walked up to the woman and looked at her as if she were her own daughter.

"You were the one who sent her back, right? Thank you, kind soul!" The fat aunt smiled at Chen Ge and said, "Xiao Yu, you should thank her too."

"Wait." Chen Ge was very perceptive and noticed a problem: "Sister, what was her name you just asked?"

"Xiao Yu? What's wrong?" The aunt opened the umbrella, gently grabbed the woman's arm, and prepared to walk into the corridor, but what she didn't expect was that the woman didn't want to go back and shook off the aunt's hand.

It seemed that because the woman had never resisted before, but today she suddenly behaved abnormally, the aunt was very surprised: "Xiaoyu, it's raining, let's go back quickly."

Just as the aunt was trying to persuade her patiently, the woman suddenly turned around, clenched the photo in her hand, and shouted, "I'm not Fang Yu! You got the wrong person! I'm looking for him too!"

"How come you are not Fang Yu? Did someone say anything to you?" The aunt looked at Chen Ge with an unfriendly look in an instant. She couldn't persuade Fang Yu, so she simply walked in front of Chen Ge and said, "Did you say something to her? Are you happy to bully a girl like this?"

"Sister, you seem to have really misunderstood. She is not Fang Yu." Chen Ge came to this conclusion based on the introduction of the black phone. He did not think that the black phone would provide wrong information.

"Then take a look for yourself!" The aunt reached into the left pocket of the woman's clothes and took out a light red wallet. She opened the wallet and found the woman's ID card inside. "I don't know what you are thinking, but I tell you, your aunt is here today, so it's useless for you to think of any bad ideas!"

Chen Ge took a look and saw that the name on the woman's ID card was indeed Fang Yu.

"She is Fangyu?"

"She's not Fangyu, are you?"

"But she is clearly looking for someone!"

"So you're using this to trick her?" Auntie stood in front of Xiaoyu and said, "I don't care what your purpose is, just leave! Otherwise I'll call for help!"

Hearing the quarrel, the window on the first floor suddenly opened, and an old man stood by the window: "What are you quarreling about? What's going on?"

"Someone wants to bully Xiaoyu!"

"Bullying Xiaoyu?" The old man didn't even close the window. After a while, he ran out of the corridor wearing slippers and holding a Tai Chi sword: "Is he the one who bullied Xiaoyu?"

"Everyone calm down." Chen Ge saw the elder sister and the old man in front of him and quickly explained: "I didn't bully her, I was helping her."
