"Are you all right?" Chen Ge helped Du Ming open the lid of the water bottle: "Would you like some water?"
Du Ming was lying on the table, buried his face in the textbook, and covered his stomach with his hands.
"I didn't mean to, I didn't expect it to be like this."
"What the hell did you do?" Chen Ge wasn't angry, he looked at Du Ming with more sympathy in his eyes.
Du Ming didn't speak any more, just shook his head slightly. His mental state was very poor, and he seemed to be reaching his limit just like Chen Ge.
…
After the fourth class, Chen Ge came to the roof of the teaching building when no one was there, and Zhang Ya was standing beside the railing.
He silently walked to Zhang Ya's side, and the two looked at the entire Liwan Town together.
The teaching building is a relatively tall building in the town. At this moment, Chen Ge couldn't help but think of Liwan Town behind Xiaobumen.
At that time, Zhang Ya agreed to his request, and they have been inseparable ever since.
The cold wind mixed with raindrops fell on her face. Zhang Ya pushed her hair that had been ruffled by the wind behind her ears. She suddenly said, "Teacher may be leaving in a while."
"Is it because of me?" Chen Ge had already guessed the ending. He had rehearsed this scene countless times in his mind all morning, but when Zhang Ya really said it, he couldn't say a word of what he wanted.
"It has nothing to do with you." Zhang Ya shook her head: "The reason is me, I always thought that I had walked out of the past and could start a new life with a smile, but this is just deceiving myself. Busy, hard, all Everything is an excuse to escape, and after all these years, I still feel trapped in that dim dance studio."
Standing beside Zhang Ya, Chen Ge grasped the fence tightly. He could understand Zhang Ya because he was the only person in the world who knew about Zhang Ya's past.
No matter the reality or the world behind the door, Zhang Ya only told him the secret.
"Those who made the mistake are those who spread rumors. Give me some time, and I will find out everything and let everyone know the truth." Chen Ge has always wanted to do this, even in the world behind the door, even if everything is his own. He still wanted to help Zhang Ya and give the original nightmare a new ending.
"It doesn't matter what the truth is. What matters is you. I'm afraid what happened to me will happen to you again." Zhang Ya is very concerned about Chen Ge. Song still stands with her and trusts her unconditionally, a feeling that has never happened before.
Even though there is a big age difference, one thing is undeniable, she does feel something different in this man.
"I can leave, I can escape, but you can't." Zhang Ya stood in front of Chen Ge, her face was very close to Chen Ge: "Your father is still in the hospital, and you have a younger sister to take care of. The responsibility will be on you, and you must not be affected by my affairs."
"I probably already know who the rumour is going to be, we can..."
"Chen Ge." Zhang Ya raised her arm and stretched her slender fingers to the cloudy sky: "Leaving does not mean that we will never meet again."
Zhang Ya seems to have made up her mind to stay, and she will still be criticized behind her back.
In fact, Chen Ge also knew that it was not easy for Zhang Ya to make this decision. She must have thought about it for a long time.
The hand holding the railing turned white, and bloodshot appeared in Chen Ge's eyes, and he took a deep breath: "Sometimes, I feel that this world is very bad, and it will always grab those gentle people and bully it. "
"The world is not good or bad, but when there are more gentle people, the world will become gentle." Zhang Ya stretched out her hand to help Chen Ge straighten her hair that was blown by the wind. Her cold fingertips stayed on Chen Ge's face: "You will also be a gentle person in the future. Go back. You have to cook for your family. Don't waste too much time with me."
Retracting her arms, Zhang Ya silently looked at the campus she was just familiar with, not knowing what she was thinking.
Standing beside Zhang Ya, Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya's back, raised his hands, and then put them down.
He left the rooftop and went to the hospital. After delivering food to his father, he sold another meal on the roadside to bring to Luo Ruoyu.
Returning to the community where he lived, Chen Ge stopped at the door of his house. Usually, Luo Ruoyu would run over to open the door whenever he heard his footsteps, but Luo Ruoyu did not appear today.
"Nothing will happen, right?"
Chen Ge shouted Luo Ruoyu's name loudly, and he vaguely heard cries coming from the house.
"Ruo Yu?"
Opening the door, Chen Ge smelled a pungent smell of coal. He ignored the rules and rushed into the house.
The floor of the kitchen was full of water stains, and fragments of thermos flasks could be seen all over the floor.
He quickly ran into the kitchen and saw Luo Ruoyu curled up in the corner of the kitchen, covering his ears with his hands, and in front of him a shattered thermos.
Her clothes were wet, her neck, arms and fingers were scalded, and her face was dripping with tears.
"Who made you angry!" Chen Ge kicked away the broken thermos bottle, he had never been so angry as now.
Hearing Chen Ge's anger, Luo Ruoyu cried even more, her red-hot arm was placed in front of her face, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
After turning off the gas, Chen Ge didn't think much, picked up Luo Ruoyu and ran outside.
Walking out of the room, a new day started, but Chen Ge didn't care about it at all. He took Luo Ruoyu in a taxi to the hospital.
The burn area was not large, mainly on the arm. The doctor applied ointment to Luo Ruoyu, but the little girl was still in shock, as if she was frightened.
"It's not a big problem, but your family members must pay attention. It's best not to leave mentally handicapped children at home alone. It's too dangerous." The doctor left, leaving Chen Ge and Luo Ruoyu in the ward.
When the ointment is applied to the wound, it is very painful at first, and gradually it will produce an icy cold feeling.
Luo Ruoyu put her arms on both sides of her body, she didn't dare to look at Chen Ge, she lowered her head and cried quietly.
After standing in the ward for a while, Chen Ge put down his backpack, sat beside the bed, and hugged Luo Ruoyu gently: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't disturb you."
The girl in her arms was trembling. She seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, crying loudly on Chen Ge's shoulders.
"I know that you want to help, that you don't want to drag others down, and that you work very hard. I understand." Chen Ge slowly hugged Luo Ruoyu: "We are each other's most important family."
In the world behind the door, Luo Ruoyu represents the family, as well as the employees of the haunted house who used to have nowhere to go, and the obsession of being "picked up" by Chen Ge who once hid in the depths of despair.
No matter what happens, Chen Ge will stand at the forefront, training to overcome physical defects, company late at night, and never stingy encouragement.
Chen Ge didn't ask for anything in return, he just did it because he treated them as family.
Luo Ruoyu fell asleep after she was tired from crying, but even when she fell asleep, her hand still held Chen Ge's clothes.
After covering Luo Ruoyu with the quilt on the hospital bed, Chen Ge quietly left the ward. There were more and more bloodshot eyes in his eyes, and the comic book in his backpack also changed.
"The disaster is pressing step by step, the dream weaved with my memory, let me end it now."
It's a new day because of the reason I went home once in the middle.
