"Where's this place?"

Lin Huang looked around the vaguely familiar place that he was in . He was shocked when he realized where he was . It was an apartment with a room, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen . The decoration in the apartment looked exactly the same as the one that he used to stay in two years ago before he traveled to another world . To be exact, it was his home before he left .

The hole that he had accidentally burnt with his cigarette after falling asleep was still on the couch in the living room . On the coffee table, there was a crack on the ashtray that had slipped when he was washing it . In the multipurpose cabinets under the television were the novels that he had collected . Lin Huang then rushed into the bedroom . The blanket was folded like he usually did on the bed, covering half of the bed . The pillowcase was the one with the dark blue night sky and stars that matched his quilt cover . His watch and keys were placed on the left side of his bed head beside the lamp . His jeans, t-shirt, underwear, and socks hung on the balcony outside his bedroom .

"I'm… back on Earth?" Lin Huang had a complicated expression as he glanced around . He had thought of many manifestations of his deepest fears that the heart-glimpsing rune would show him after activating it, but he did not expect to be brought back to Earth at all . Just as he was digesting everything, his mobile phone in pocket started vibrating . He had gotten used to the Emperor's Heart Ring for the past two years and had almost forgotten about the existence of mobile phones .

He took out his Fruit7 phone and realized that it was Xiao Wang who was calling . He did not know what to do . Should he pick up the call? Too much had happened in the past two years, and he could not really remember who this Xiao Wang was . He did not pick up the call as he held his phone in his hand . However, the phone did not stop vibrating . This Xiao Wang guy sure was stubborn . Lin Huang thought about it and decided to pick up anyway .



"Xiao Wang, are you looking for me?" Lin Huang still had no idea who Xiao Wang was .

"Handsome, come drink with me tonight?" Listening to the voice and how he addressed him, Lin Huang recalled who the person was .

Xiao Wang's real name was Wang Zhi . He was his junior from the same university . He was a smart guy, and they worked together . After he became Lin Huang's junior at work, he started inviting Lin Huang out for drinks, spa, and massages as well as helping him at work every week . They became close after that, so it was natural that they would drink and eat together occasionally .

"I have something up today . Let's do that some other day," Lin Huang declined . After all, he had yet to recover his memory and would be exposed easily if he met someone who knew him .

"Oh, alright then . Go ahead with your stuff . " Xiao Wang then hung up .



Lin Huang walked around the apartment . The kitchen and bathroom were still the same, and the floor mat in the bathroom was still wet . Even the trash in the kitchen was still there . He roughly remembered that it was how his home had looked like the day before he set off . He then looked at the date on his phone . It was 3rd June 2017, Saturday, which was the day he had left .

"So, I've gone back to the day I left?" Lin Huang looked at the time . It was 9 . 41 a . m .

"I remember peeking at the time before I left . It was 9 . 40 a . m . That means this is when I just left . " Lin Huang could not understand why the heart-glimpsing rune had sent him here . There was nothing that he was terrified of on Earth as he had seen too much on the other side throughout the years . Any transcendent-level monster could kill the entire human race if it was placed on Earth .

Lin Huang then returned to the living room and sat on the couch . He lit up a cigarette without any idea what was going to happen next . The silence only lasted for less than three minutes . The phone in his pocket started vibrating again . He was shocked when he saw who was calling . It was his mother who had passed away in a car accident when he was nine . He hesitated for a long time before finally picking up the call . A familiar voice came from the other side before he started speaking .

"Xiao Mu Tou, it's the weekend . Will you be home for lunch? I've made dumplings for you with chives and egg filling . "

Xiao Mu Tou was Lin Huang's nickname . Her mother called his father Mu Tou, therefore when he was born, his father was called Da Mu Tou, and Xiao Mu Tou naturally became Lin Huang's nickname .

He could not move when he heard that voice . He had never imagined that he would hear his mother again . Dumpling with chives and egg filling was his favorite food when he was a kid . His mother would always make him dumplings whenever he got excellent results in his primary school .

"Hello, can you hear me? Why aren't you speaking?"

Lin Huang's tears started pouring .

"Mom… I miss you . "

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Although his mother did not hear him crying, she knew that something was wrong .

"No . " Lin Huang calmed himself down and asked, "Is dad home?"

"Your dad is here . I'll get him to speak with you . " His mother had no idea what happened as she passed the phone to his father .

"Son, what's wrong?" His father's energetic voice came from the other side . Lin Huang's tears proceeded to pour, but he managed to calm down .

"I'm alright, Dad… I'll be home for dumplings later . "

"Oh, be safe on the road . " His father reminded him .

As the phone went dead, Lin Huang started shaking and started crying . When he had been on Earth, his mother had passed away from a car accident when he was nine . His father became depressed since then and died of a heart attack when Lin Huang was 13 . His grandmother took care of him until he graduated from high school and got into university . His grandmother passed away when he was halfway through university . He only managed to get through university with loans and by working part-time, which was why he was much more hardworking than others .

The Earth that he was sent to this time was not the Earth that was from, but it was a parallel world where his parents were still around . Speaking to his parents that he had lost when he was young made Lin Huang, who had been suppressing his emotions all along, to lose himself completely…
