Chapter 414: I Need to Be Insane to See My Family
The middle-aged man’s eyes twitched as he tried to remain calm. He glanced at the woman behind Gao Ming uncertainly. Yes. His son was home, and he brought with him a literally-broken woman.
The middle-aged man’s brain spun as he tried to come up with something to say, but he was stumped.
The sound of meat chopping came from the kitchen. The mother was urging him. The man opened his mouth and could only manage to squeeze out, “Come in?”
Gao Ming, in his school uniform, stood at the door. He was fazed for a moment when he saw his father. It was as if he had returned to that rainy night after he came back from the class field trip. He returned home in shock and confusion.
Holding the woman’s wrist, Gao Ming entered the rental home. Everything looked the same as he had left it. Time seemed to have frozen.
“Why did you suddenly come to find me?” Gao Ming stood under the light. Listening to the sound of cooking from the kitchen, he looked at his awkward father. None of the previous Gao Ming had asked this question before. For the middle-aged man, this was a brand-new ‘script.’
“We called you many times, but you didn’t answer. We were worried about you, so we came to find you.” The middle-aged man’s actions were smooth since they were already parts of his muscle memory. He reached to take the schoolbag from Gao Ming, but he realised that Gao Ming didn’t carry a schoolbag.
“Give me your dirty clothes.” The middle-aged man switched tactics. “How old are you already? Look at how dirty and wrinkled your clothes are. It looks like you’ve come from a war.”
“It’s fine. I can wash them myself.” Gao Ming looked at his father silently. The faces from his memory overlapped with the one before him. The man was different from his fathers, who were bound by curses. He was special. However, Gao Ming didn’t dare to put his guard down inside the God of the Future’s world. He had lost too many things to reach this stage. He couldn’t reveal any flaw.
