The math teacher didn't say what he had prepared. He stared at Chen Ge for a while, then slapped the ruler on the podium: "Sit down, stop looking out the window, Du Ming, come up and answer."
The fat man with a round face walked up to the podium, while Chen Ge touched his backpack: "Everything here feels too normal. Something is wrong. There must be something wrong."
After finally getting through to the end of get out of class, Chen Ge first stopped the round-faced fat man and took him to a corner of the school.
"What do you want to do? You don't need to mobilize so much to borrow homework to copy, right?"
"I want to ask you something, and you must answer me honestly." Chen Ge pointed at himself: "What kind of person do you think I am?"
"Lonely, venomous, unpopular, and not a very popular scumbag." The round-faced fat man clapped his fingers and spoke out one by one.
"Have I always had such a bad image in your mind?" Chen Ge looked at that familiar round face. Although he knew that the other person was telling the truth, he was not happy.
"It's okay." The round-faced little fat man was not aware of the dangerous situation he was in at this time.
"Okay, let's change the question. Have any strange stories happened in our school? For example, strange noises coming from unoccupied classrooms at night, moving specimens, etc."
Chen Ge's face was full of curiosity, and the round-faced little fat man couldn't bear to refuse. He took out a report card from his schoolbag and handed it to Chen Ge.
"Why do you want me to see this?" Chen Ge took the report card and saw Du Ming's name in the second place in the class.
"Top ten in the whole grade, second in the class, you actually ask such a person if there are any weird stories in our school?"
"Does your success in studying have anything to do with kaidan? Doesn't it mean that kaidan won't happen if you are an top student?"
"The reason I was able to achieve such results is because I used the time that others were thinking about to study."
"Stop talking, if you weren't such a nice person, I would show you what a weird story is right now." Chen Ge was quite speechless, but when he thought that the other person was a brat, he felt relieved: "I won't follow you.
As you generally know, the next question is, has anything bad happened in our school, such as school violence, accidental death of students, etc."
"What are you thinking about every day?" The little fat man with a round face shook his head and took back his report card: "Are you under too much pressure recently? That's right, you are fourth from the bottom in the class, and your grades are...
It's been steadily declining, and I really can't explain it to my family. I suggest you just start studying hard, and it's useless to think about anything else."
Putting the transcript back into his backpack, the round-faced little fat man left just like that.
"This guy's personality hasn't changed at all. It's exactly the same as in my memory." Chen Ge and Du Ming were not friends. They were close because they had bad personalities at that time. They didn't have many friends.
The popular guys are just cuddling together for warmth.
Soon no students could be seen on the campus, and the surroundings became very quiet. Chen Ge did not leave. He chose to play it slow, explore the school first, and then slowly search the entire town from there.
"Be sure to note that the day may be almost over."
The sky is getting darker and darker, making people breathless.
"The night in a small town will never be as lively and warm as during the day. It will tear off its disguise, reveal its ferocious fangs, and ruthlessly tear apart every innocent person."
Turning around and entering the teaching building, Chen Ge checked the classrooms through the windows with his backpack in hand. He looked for a long time and still found nothing unusual.
After reaching the top floor of the teaching building, Chen Ge heard footsteps on the roof: "School is over, who would go to the roof at this time?"
Holding the skull-crushing hammer, Chen Ge entered the corridor. The door leading to the rooftop was unlocked, so he quietly pushed the door open a crack.
The top floor of the school's teaching building is the closest place to the sky. Looking up, it seems as if the entire cloudy sky will fall down at any time.
"nobody?"
The cold wind blew and raindrops fell on my face. The rain fell suddenly.
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Ge walked downstairs. When he was about to walk out of the teaching building, it was already raining heavily outside.
"This should be ordinary rain, right?" The rain behind the door might hide resentment and curses. Chen Ge put his hand into the rain curtain and tried it. The rain fell on his palm, and the coldness penetrated into his heart.
"It will still rain behind the door. It seems that we should pay attention to the ghosts who use umbrellas as sustenance in the future. There should be many ghosts of this type. After all, in many stories, umbrellas are a good place for ghosts to hide...
"Chen Ge was lost in thought when a shadow suddenly covered his face: "Who?!"
Turning around suddenly, Chen Ge saw Zhang Ya who was startled.
"Why haven't you gone home yet? Did you forget to take your umbrella?" Zhang Ya stood behind Chen Ge holding an umbrella. She was the one who just raised the umbrella over Chen Ge's head.
At this moment, it seemed that they were the only two people in the teaching building. Chen Ge looked at Zhang Ya and opened his mouth. Suddenly he felt his heartbeat speeding up, and he quickly took a step back.
Seeing Chen Ge's reserved look, Zhang Ya seemed to find it amusing: "Are you afraid of me?"
"No."
"That's okay. I don't know when the rain will stop. I'll take you to the station." Zhang Ya held an umbrella and walked to Chen Ge: "Let's go."
Chen Ge, who has always been very assertive, followed Zhang Ya without knowing what was going on. He forgot all about investigating ghost stories in school and exploring the town.
The faint scent of shampoo drifted into the tip of his nose, and Chen Ge's eyes always fell on Zhang Ya involuntarily. The feeling at this moment was probably happiness.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, pedestrians are passing by in a hurry, the neon lights on the street appear hazy through the mist, and the sound of falling rain seems to be heard all over the world.
"Zhang Ya..."
"Well? What did you just say?" Zhang Ya seemed to hear Chen Ge say something, but the rain was too loud and she didn't hear it clearly.
"It's okay, you can go inside. There are many cars outside, and I'm afraid they will splash muddy water on your clothes." Chen Ge walked to the other side of Zhang Ya with his bag, and the two of them saw that each other was already wet from the rain.
Half of their shoulders, they didn't want each other to get wet, but unexpectedly, both of their clothes got wet.
Walking on the rainy street, the two of them didn't talk until they arrived at the station closest to the school.
"Which bus do you want to take?"
"Route 104." Chen Ge casually reported a route and stood quietly next to Zhang Ya. He didn't really want to talk, so he secretly stared at Zhang Ya.
The world behind the door is woven based on memories. Although there are some absurd and weird places, most of them are in contrast with reality. The reason why Zhang Ya appears the way she does now is also related to Chen Ge's own memory.
"The car I'm going to take is here. You should go home early and don't run around." Zhang Ya took out her mobile phone: "This is my phone number. When you get home, send me a message to make sure you are safe."
After exchanging mobile phone numbers, Zhang Ya got on the No. 4 bus and waved to Chen Ge from the window.
The colorfully painted bus disappeared into the rain, but Chen Ge still stood there.
