Yu Ke’s mind was far more mature than his peers, and it could even be said that his intelligence and emotional intelligence were stronger than many adults.
But no matter how strong he was, in the final analysis he was just a fatherless and pitiful minor, and he was still the kind with sensitive and delicate mind.
Because the setbacks he received were too great, he subconsciously sought the help of the people who could give him the most warmth and support – his parents.
Anyway, during that time, because Fang Chuan’s mother made a lot of trouble, the school advised him not to come to the school, so he decided to go home.
Although his biological parents lost their precious lives to a ruthless car accident many years ago, the home that left him with countless joys was still there.
With all his savings, Yu Ke took the bus to his former residence, a familiar platform, a familiar shop, and even a familiar old man who sold fruit.
Everything was the same as what he remembered. He subconsciously walked to the unit building that he was extremely familiar with, walked up the stairs that he had stepped on countless times, and stayed in front of the door he was familiar with.
Maybe it was because he stared at it for too long, until dusk, when the door was opened from the inside, and a gentle, young and beautiful woman with long hair came out.
She looked beautiful, as beautiful as his mother.
Following the woman came out a little girl with braids.
Seeing Yu Ke, she asked sweetly, “Big brother, are you here to play with Nannan?”
The little girl’s crisp voice was like a deafening thunder, pulling back Yu Ke’s beautiful and illusory memories.
The young mother grabbed her daughter, protected the child on her body, and asked Yu Ke, “Who are you, who are you looking for?”
Out of the corner of Yu Ke’s eyes, he could see what the room looked like. There were girls’ toys everywhere, and blond Barbies and small skirts were placed on the sofa.
“Sorry, I went to the wrong building.”
Leaving such a sentence, Yu Ke ran away, his back looking a little embarrassed.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but the neighbor next door answered the question casually: “The one just now seems to be the child of old Yu’s family. It’s so pitiful that he lost his parents at such a young age. ”
Yu Ke was sitting on a swing in a small park nearby. In the small park, only the children nearby were playing. Because it was a working day, at dusk, the chattering children were calling their parents to leave one by one.
Unconsciously, Yu Ke was the only one left in the always lively small park.
He lowered his head, dazed, so he didn’t realize that the evening in this park seemed to be particularly long.
Dusk was the time when day and night alternate, and it was also the legendary time of encountering demons.
“…Well, how long are you going to sit on this swing?”
A slightly immature voice made Yu Ke raise his head, and standing in front of him was a child who looked only seven or eight years old, with red lips and white teeth, dressed in fashionable clothes, and looked like he was raised with care and was born in a rich family.
“Isn’t there another swing? Can’t you go to another swing?”
When the small park was first built, there was only one swing. Later, when there were more residents, it was rebuilt, and there were many more recreational facilities. The swing changed from one to two.
The little boy looked in the direction of his fingers, tilted his head and said suspiciously, “But there is only one swing here.”
What a joke, wasn’t there another swing there? Although it was a bit broken, it was totally fine to bear such a child.
Yu Ke turned his head and was surprised to find that the surroundings were really empty and there were few facilities, just like ten years ago.
What exactly was going on?
He looked around and found that although the facilities were few, they all looked new, and the surrounding buildings were like the ones he remembered when he was a child.
He suddenly remembered something very important. Ten years ago, his parents were still alive!
He sat up on the swing at once, spread his feet and ran wildly in the direction he was familiar with.
At this time, when the adult was off work, he waited anxiously at the familiar door, his palms sweating a lot.
He didn’t know how long it took, he heard laughter, and then saw his young parents, and his little self following them.
He shouted out excitedly: “Mom!”
He wanted to tell his parents that he was their future child and that they must avoid the car accident. Even if he may have some cause and effect for it, he hoped that they could survive well.
But Yu Ke found that no matter how much he shouted, the young couple and his little self didn’t realize his existence.
They said laughing, took out the key, opened the door, and entered the room.
Yu Ke clenched his fist and hit the rough wall hard, but he couldn’t feel the pain at all, his hand didn’t bleed like a normal person, and his skin didn’t even break.
Sure enough, even if such an incredible thing happened, he would not be favored. It was also possible that this was just a dream he had, and it was completely illusory.
He looked up at the sky, the sunset was over the western mountains, and the red clouds filled the sky. Even after so long, the color of the sky did not change at all.
Maybe it was just a dream in his memory. He looked at the closed door and tried to get in, wanting to see his home and his parents’ faces.
But he failed, even if he was dreaming, he couldn’t do it.
Yu Ke leaned against the wall decadently, then like a child, he couldn’t help crying.
“Do you want to sit on the swing? If you want, just go.”
It was the little boy just now, the other party stood in front of him at some point and looked at him strangely.
The boy was good-looking, but his expression was serious, like a little adult.
Yu Ke’s crying stopped, he felt unusual, he asked the boy: “Can you see me?”
The other party nodded, then stretched out a fleshy little hand: “Don’t cry, I’ll treat you to some candy.”
His little hands were white and tender, with a big white rabbit toffee lying in the palm of his hand.
Yu Ke tried to take the candy. He peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed it into his mouth. The rich milky aroma filled his entire mouth. The taste was very sweet and made him feel a touch of warmth.
The little boy still tilted his head to look at him: “Why did you show up at my house? Did your mother bring you to play with me?”
Yu Ke subconsciously retorted: “I’m not, how could this be your home?”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the surrounding environment had changed. The place where he appeared was in a very spacious big house, and the swing in the so-called small park nearby was also a swing in the big house.
He occupied the boy’s swing, no wonder the other party let him down.
“Isn’t it?” The boy looked a little lost.
Mom and Dad were always busy and had all kinds of entertainment. As their child, he also had to learn all kinds of things. Dad said, don’t accept others’ favors easily, because he was still young and couldn’t see clearly the maliciousness hidden in others.
But for him, he also wanted to have his own friends like everyone else.
Although Dad said this was only when he was young. When he grew up, he would know that so-called friends were simply no match for interests.
Looking at the little boy, Yu Ke seemed to see himself.
He said, “Thank you for the candy, it’s delicious. Would you like to play with me?”
He actually didn’t like children very much, at least none of his cousins appealed to him, but the little boy in front of him looked polite and well-behaved, he looked good. People always had resistance against good-looking cubs.
He had a great time playing with the boy, and time finally began to pass.
He opened and closed his eyes, and found that a year had passed.
He still had no way of reaching anyone else, and no one could see him except the boy.
And one day for him, in this time and space, was a year.
In just ten days, it was enough for Yu Ke and this little boy to establish a special relationship.
He looked at each other day by day, no, to be precise, growing up year by year, until the other party became an adult, he found that the boy could not see him, and gradually forgot his incredible existence.
All he could witness were the important moments in the boy’s life. Although he was only watching from a distance, he felt as if he had spent a very long time with him.
Time flies, until the little boy grew into a great adult, and then at the age of 27, he died in a car accident because of his enemy.
His parents died under the wheel of a fatigued driver. Because the accident was at night, no one found out, and the perpetrator escaped, missing the best rescue time.
And this boy who had fate with him was the same.
Looking at the young man lying in a pool of blood, he couldn’t do anything and frantically tried to dial the phone.
He begged God to help him, he pressed hard, and finally dialed 120.
The voice of the inquiry came from the phone, but what he said, there was no way to hear it.
Fortunately, it was not particularly secluded here. Someone still found out that something was wrong, and the ambulance came, but the other party was still dead.
Yu Ke stood there in a daze, the time around him began to rewind rapidly, and when he came back to his senses, the sky lit up again.
And in front of him, the station he was familiar with appeared.
He rushed to the small shop and saw the familiar dates, a world that belonged to him, but what he had experienced was so real.
Yu Ke exhaled, his breath was warm, but his heart was still cold, he thought, maybe he should do something else.
