"Brother! Where is the hair dryer?"

Duan Xiaoling's voice pierced the wall and came through.

"Ask, I'll know how to ask your brother all day long! Your brother came to college today, and see who else you can ask in the future!"

While packing up Duan Xu, Wei Ping yelled Duan Xiaoling with anger.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

Duan Xiaoling stepped on the wooden floor barefoot and kept stomping.

"Bang--"

The door of Duan Xu's bedroom was pushed open. A girl with a young middle school appearance and an ordinary appearance stood at the door with wet hair, her eyes widened.

"You're leaving today? Isn't it August 27th? Isn't the university registration on September 1st?"

In the living room, Duan Guoping, holding the newspaper, moved slightly, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this, Duan Xu took his eyes away from the rain that had been falling all night outside the window and looked at Duan Xiaoling.

"The hair dryer is under the desk in your room. Let's dry your hair first and stop catching a cold."

"Brother!" Duan Xiaoling's eyes immediately turned red, "Why didn't you say you were leaving today? You're so annoyed!"

Duan Xu smiled, his eyes turned to the rain outside the window again, and he whispered: "Let's go early and late, you have to leave. Go to Yecheng first, and it's good to be familiar with the living environment in the next four years..."

"Yecheng... Why is Yecheng! With your grades, Fengdu can go to the best local university, so why do you have to go to Yecheng Medical University?"

Duan Xiaoling's words were shouted in a tone that was almost tantrum. Duan Xu had no reaction. However, Duan Xiaoling's parents, Duan Guoping and Wei Ping, were stiff.

Yecheng, why is Yecheng...

Duan Xiaoling's questions echoed in his mind, but Duan Xu could not explain a word.

"Don't block the door, go and dry your hair. It's windy and rainy outside, the weather turns cold, and I'll catch a cold later." Wei Ping put down the clothes in her hand and walked towards the door and pushed Duan Xiaoling away.

"Click—"

She closed the door of Duan Xiaoling's bedroom.

Duan Xu in the bedroom, Duan Guoping on the sofa in the living room, and... Wei Ping, who was slightly helpless at the door, fell into silence for a moment.

Duan Xu packed his things silently, and he moved very quickly. In fact, if Wei Ping had not had to fold the already folded clothes several times, his luggage would have been packed long ago.

Soon, Duan Xu closed his suitcase and dragged it out of the door.

"Xiao Xu... is leaving?" Wei Ping's voice trembled when she asked this.

"Um."

Duan Xu's simple answer made her confused about how to speak next sentence.

"Go, call home if you have any difficulties."

Duan Guoping's voice came from behind the newspaper. Although it sounded calm and calm, it seemed that there was something more than before.

"good."

Duan Xu nodded, dragged his luggage and walked to the door.

Duan Xiaoling was angry in her bedroom. Duan Guoping still did not put down the newspaper in his hand. Wei Ping turned around, but her body was trembling slightly.

"Click—"

The door is open.

The wet air penetrated into Duan Xu's nasal cavity with the wind in the corridor. He took a deep breath and said softly: "Dad, mom, thank you."

"Bang--"

The door was closed, and the person dragging his luggage in front of the door disappeared.

"well……"

Duan Guoping put down the newspaper and murmured: "Xiao Xu really knows..."

Wei Ping walked towards the sofa and sat slowly beside Duan Guoping, his eyes were a little red: "We have been hiding it from him, how could he..."

"Hidden?" Duan Guoping showed a helpless look on his face. "From the moment he chose Yecheng Medical University, I understood that we have never hidden it. He has never known... he is not our biological son..."

At this moment, a "tuk-tuk-tuk" knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

Wei Ping and Duan Guoping looked at each other, stood up and walked towards the gate.

"who?"

She opened the door.

A young man dragged his luggage and said with a smile: "Mom, I forgot to hold an umbrella."

Wei Ping's tears burst out from her eyes and she hurriedly went to get the umbrella and handed it to Duan Xu.

Duan Xu did not take the umbrella, but instead let go of the suitcase in his hand, stepped forward and hugged Wei Ping tightly, and whispered: "I will come back, don't worry, mom."

"Okay, okay..." Wei Ping responded vaguely.

Duan Xu could feel that the mother's body in her arms was trembling violently.

The white hair on her head has become more and more...

"Click—"

The door was closed gently. This time, Wei Ping and Duan Guoping knew that Duan Xu was really leaving.

But their emotions were not as nervous and worried as before, because this time they knew that Duan Xu would come back.

...

Duan Guoping guessed correctly. Duan Xu knew very early that he was not a child of the Duan family.

This is not because Duan Xu is so keen, but because he found that the older he grew, the less he looked like his parents.

Moreover... Duan Xiaoling, Duan Guoping, and Wei Ping's family of three have single eyelids, but they only have double eyelids, which is almost a foregone conclusion. Even if you want to deceive yourself, you can't do it.

After realizing this, as he grew up, some inexplicable images always appeared in Duan Xu's mind, perhaps the memories of his childhood?

After investigation, Duan Xu confirmed that the scenes in the pictures belonged to Yecheng.

It was a city with winds far apart, and it took two days to take the train.

In fact, Duan Xu is not very interested in his life experience.

He likes the Duan family very much and has long regarded the Duan family as his real relative.

But... after he was sixteen, he had been having the same dream repeatedly.

A man who looks exactly like himself, but is older and in his thirties, stands in front of a grave and looks at him quietly.

The strange, bizarre, weird, and unexplained dream made Duan Xu realize that maybe... he should go to that place.

In this way, with some inexplicable expectations for Yecheng, Duan Xu came to Fengdu South Railway Station.

The rain has not stopped yet. Perhaps it is because of this heavy rain that it is difficult to see a figure in the train station.

In this kind of rainy weather, no one usually chooses to travel.

Duan Xu took out his ID card and headed towards an automatic ticket pickup machine.

The black screen reflects his image.

A white shirt, black jeans, her hair is not long and a little messy in the wind and rain. Her face cannot be masculine or feminine. But the expression on her face is too calm, so calm... it doesn't look like the expression that people of this age should have.

Duan Xu put his ID card on.

【Scan completed…】

【Ticket issuing…】

He waited quietly, but the machine was parked at the interface where the ticket was issued, and there was no movement for a long time.

Has it stuck?

Duan Xu picked up his ID card and was about to try again.

"Si..."

A ticket slowly came out of the ticket gate.

Duan Xu's eyes narrowed, this ticket...

He picked up the ticket, and the touch after contact made Duan Xu feel panicked.

Its material...it feels like flesh.

The moment he touched it, Duan Xu even thought that he had touched human skin.

Moreover, the overall shape of this ticket is also very strange.

Both sides are black, and there is a dead gray skull painted on the front, with a number written below the skull, 9.

The opposite side of the ticket is Duan Xu's name written on it.

There is no other information at all.
