Chapter 365: Two?
“They seem to have left.” The normal Gao Ming crawled out from underneath the bed. He quietly opened the dresser door. The kind Gao Ming was curled up inside with guilt written all over his face.
“We can’t leave while carrying the dead body. This is already the best outcome.” The normal Gao Ming tried his best to console the other party.
“I’ve always tried to do my best and to satisfy everyone around me. However, problems keep happening…” The kind Gao Ming scratched his arms. Actually, he was not as optimistic and as confident as he seemed. Kindness came with a price.
“I know you want to save everyone. After we find a safe way out, I’ll help you.” The normal Gao Ming helped the kind Gao Ming out of the dresser. To distract the kind Gao Ming, he took out his diary, “If this didn’t happen, what was your original plan for today?”
“The school has organised a class trip tomorrow. I plan to buy some snacks so that I can share with everyone on the bus.” The kind Gao Ming sighed.
“A class trip?” The normal Gao Ming looked at his diary. “I will be participating in an event tomorrow too. Even though we made different choices in our lives, every one of us seemed fated to attend that event on the 15th of July.” He didn’t mean anything by it, but this observation prompted the kind Gao Ming to check the normal Gao Ming’s diary. Their diary entries were all different, but somehow, everything seemed to overlap on the 15th of July again. This appeared to be the intersection of all the different Gao Mings’ fates.
“Why is this so?” The kind Gao Ming thought back to what had happened. “The monitor’s appearance is different from how I remember him, but his personality hasn’t changed. He looks selfless on the surface and puts the class first, but he is actually highly jealous of others.”
The entries flashed through his mind. The kind Gao Ming suddenly lifted his head to look at the normal Gao Ming, “The monitor should be the same age as us, but he looks almost thirty now.”
“Has he somehow aged?”
