When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

"Dad, why did mom leave?"

……

"Are you an idiot? You're just barking like a dog after your mother died."

……

"Don't worry, we will definitely remember you."

……

Time seemed to have gone back to the third year of junior high school. Yue Ji still remembered that day vividly, but if he wanted to talk about everything, the timeline would have to be pushed forward.

"Yue Ji, what would you think if your mother passed away?"

His father just lay beside the bed, and the child who was about to fall asleep woke up at this moment.

Has the noise stopped?

Is the loud noise outside just now gone?

The young Yue Ji didn’t understand clearly, but when he opened his hazy eyes, his father, who would have turned on the light, just lay beside the bed and asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Yue Ji blinked his big eyes and looked at the person in front of him with confusion. He really didn't understand what the other person meant by "Mom is gone".

After all, he was still young at that time and could not understand the deep meaning behind this sentence. Now he has no idea why he skipped the middle class of kindergarten and went directly to the senior class.

"Mom wants to live in a new place and can't live with us for the time being, but she still loves you very much. Can you accept this arrangement?"

Even though time has passed and things have changed, when I think back to this conversation, the slightly choked voice is still as clear as ever in my ears. Every word is like a sharp sword, deeply hurting Yue Ji's heart.

"I can do it... I don't want to see you guys... fighting each other every day."

The child spoke at a loss, not noticing that his father beside him had lowered his head as low as he could.

What happened next?

Yue Ji was not sure.

But when he came to his senses, the dressing table on the bedroom table had disappeared, the roar at night was no longer heard, and the figure of his mother at home could no longer be captured.

Where is mom?

Yue Ji didn’t know.

But when he pushed open the door again and again, trying to find the familiar aroma of food, he found nothing.

Walking into the kitchen, the stove was empty, without a trace of smoke. In the past, this place was always filled with my mother's busy figure and warm laughter, but now it has become unusually quiet.

He opened the refrigerator and it was empty. In the past, his mother would always fill the refrigerator with all kinds of delicious food for him. However, now these beautiful memories have become a thing of the past.

He walked slowly to the living room, looked around, and found that everything in the house was still so familiar, except for the person who had been waiting for his return.

……

However, ten years later he realized that no one had ever been waiting for his return.

Time flies, and during a train journey, he slowly leans his head towards his father and whispers, "Dad...where are we going?"

The father remained silent, and the young Yue Ji did not continue to ask, but this seemingly casual question was like a sharp dagger, deeply hurting his already broken heart.

They are both like this...

It was not until the sun set and gradually disappeared over the horizon that the father asked him, "Son, are you hungry?"

"Um...I want to eat instant noodles."

The father looked at the approaching sales truck, touched the wallet in his pocket, and replied softly, "Okay... Dad will buy it for you."

Afterwards, young Yue Ji happily ate the bowl of steaming hot braised beef noodles, but he didn't notice the hesitation on his father's face when he learned that the instant noodles cost ten yuan, or the fact that he hadn't eaten all day.

……

"Beat him up for me. Why are you trying so hard to show off? Do you think you are so capable? Why are you still answering? Look at how ugly you are."

"Hey, don't say that. Take him to the bathroom, the old place."

When was that in junior high school?

Yue Ji forgot what happened, but when he was punched and kicked, he was just scared and just covered his head tightly.

"Damn, this brat is so stinky, why don't you guys change positions! You're already near the shit pit!"

"Hey, Lao Deng, collect..."

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Yue Ji slowly loosened his hands as if relieved. The boys continued to use the toilet, as if they were oblivious to everything.

A few minutes later, young Yue Ji finally completed the arduous task of washing the dirt off his body before the school bell rang.

At this moment, there was no one around, and he was the only one standing there alone. Suddenly, an irrepressible sadness came over him, and he could no longer endure the pain and grievance in his heart, and finally he couldn't help but cover his face and cry.

……

"They beat me in the bathroom, teacher, what should I do?"

"Why do others only bully you and not others? Haven't you ever thought about your own problems?"

Yue Ji was not sure whether all this was his own fault or the result of a mocking fate.

He remembered his father taking him swimming in the lake.

He remembered his father taking him to that restaurant for dinner.

He remembered his father saying to him.

"It's okay, Dad is here and won't let you get hurt."

And all this came to an abrupt end during junior high school.

……

After returning home, Yue Ji curled up in the corner like a wounded little animal, not daring to make a sound. He knew that his test scores were very bad. At school, he lived in fear every day, fearing that something bad would happen.

Time passed day by day, and finally came to the second year of school. At this time, Yue Ji found that Ma Xiayi had sat apart from him.

He felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that this was an inevitable result. After all, the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger, and there was no way they could sit together anymore.

However, what made Yue Ji feel even more miserable was that he didn't know when he had been targeted by a group of hooligans. These people hung around him all day, causing trouble for him from time to time, making it impossible for him to concentrate on studying effectively.

Everything in the family changed drastically until my father started drinking all day.

"Where's the test paper! Take it out and show it to me!" my father shouted drunkenly.

"Dad...you already know the results, so there's no need to look at them. I want to be alone for a while."

He didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing his father's face twisted with anger. He knew that a storm was waiting for him. However, the wounds on his body were aching at this time, as if reminding him of the suffering he had suffered in school.

boom!

"You're still rebelling! Give it to me now!"

As the wine bottle shattered, Yue Ji could no longer hold back his tears.

"Why? I'm not your slave! Why should I obey you in everything?"

"You are my slave master. I will give it to you if I say so. You are nothing but my slave!"
