“Alright, don’t worry. Let’s go and meet up with the teacher.”

Zhou Miao patted Cheng Heng’s head and led him to the South Gate.

The South Gate of the zoo was a little remote. Zhou Miao found it only after making many turns, but there was nothing outside the South Gate. There was only a wide, empty road and a large piece of wasteland.

Zhou Miao thought it was strange. Why would the teacher ask the students to gather here?

It was already 6:20 pm, but there were no students here. There was only a middle-aged man sitting in the guard house. The middle-aged man was also very surprised to see Cheng Heng.

“There’s nothing outside this gate. Why are you here?”

Hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Zhou Miao also thought it very strange. He was right. There were no means of transportation here, and it was not convenient to flag a cab.

Thinking of the boy who had suddenly come to inform them, Zhou Miao realized with a sense of foreboding this boy must have lied to Cheng Heng. Why would he do this?

Zhou Miao hurriedly led Cheng Heng in the direction of the north gate.

By this time, Cheng Heng’s parents had received a call from the teacher. The teacher said that a student had reported that Cheng Heng had left the zoo, saying said that he wanted to go home. Now they couldn’t find him.

Cheng Heng’s parents wanted to enter the zoo to discuss with the staff and check the surveillance cameras to see where Cheng Heng had gone, but the zoo had closed, and all the staff had gone home.

Mother Cheng stood at the entrance of the zoo, crying.

“Where did that child go? Why did he go out alone? I told you not to let this child go on an outing…”

Father Cheng was also very distraught. He frowned and called someone he knew to call the police.

Just as they were feeling anxious, Cheng Heng’s figure appeared at the end of the road.

He carried his school bag and walked over, his face covered in dirt.

“Little Heng! Little Heng!”

Seeing Cheng Heng, Mother Cheng was on the verge of tears.

Zhou Miao stood at the side. Mother Cheng couldn’t see her. She sighed deeply and thought of what Mother Cheng had told her about Cheng Heng getting lost in the second year of high school.

In the original time and space, Cheng Heng listened to his classmate’s words and walked out through the south gate. He walked aimlessly along the road for one whole night before he was found by the police.

It was also because of this that Cheng Heng’s condition, which had shown signs of improving, worsened. At that point, Cheng Heng already had some reaction to other people’s words, but the classmate he trusted lied to him.

The snail that had been slowly crawling out of its shell shrank back.

Thankfully, Zhou Miao had already changed everything. Although she did not manage to change the trouble-making students, she made it so that Cheng Heng did not walk on the road for one whole night in vain.

When Cheng Heng returned home, Cheng Tai had already finished his homework and was watching TV downstairs. When he saw his parents and Cheng Heng, he was surprised at first, but then he smiled happily.

“You have found Little Brother. It’s been hard on you, Dad and Mom. I’ll bring him to wash up.”

Seeing the sensible Cheng Tai, Cheng Heng’s parents smiled with relief and asked Cheng Heng to follow his older brother to wash up.

Cheng Tai took Cheng Heng upstairs and walked to a place where his parents couldn’t see. The smile on his face disappeared at once, and his eyes became judgmental, “Didn’t Zhang Yi tell you to go to the South Gate? How did you find your way back? How come you didn’t get lost outside?”

Cheng Heng did not react to his words. He just kept fiddling with the little bear toy hanging on his bag.

“Why were you born into this family? You’re not worthy!” Cheng Tai’s words gradually became unpleasant, and he even pushed Cheng Heng.

Suddenly, Cheng Tai felt a massive force yanking him to the wall. He turned around and saw only air.

“You pulled me?” Cheng Tai glared at Cheng Heng.

After that, an even greater force yanked Cheng Tai to another wall. Cheng Tai looked at Cheng Heng, who was standing in front of him at the same spot without moving at all. Such a supernatural event made Cheng Tai a little scared.

What was yanking him?

Cheng Tai didn’t dare to turn back to look, nor did he have the mood to question Cheng Heng. He walked past Cheng Heng and left with a frightened face.

Cheng Heng returned to his room, took out the drawing he had just finished, and handed it to Zhou Miao.

Zhou Miao counted, and there were 15 smiley faces left. She exchanged for one minute of physical time.

Under Cheng Heng’s expectant eyes, she took the drawing, rolled it up gently, and put it in her pocket.

“I’ll keep it safe.”

Cheng Heng smiled, the corners of his mouth raised high. The next second, his smile disappeared.

Sister Angel had gone back to cultivate, and the rolled-up drawing fell to the floor.

Cheng Heng pursed his lips, picked up the drawing, and wrote a small “1” on it.

When Zhou Miao woke up, the sky was still dark. Cheng Heng was changing into sportswear, ready to go out for a walk.
