Luo Shiyu bent down to pick up the shimmering "piece of paper" on the ground, but his vision went dark the moment his skin touched it.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in someone's bedroom.

The bookshelves on the wall were filled with books, and the clock on the table was ticking. It was half past eleven at night, and a little boy who looked eight or nine years old was sitting at the desk studying.

Luo Shiyu walked over and greeted him: "Little boy, what are you writing?"

The child didn't respond to him.

"Hey? How rude!" Luo Shiyu wanted to slap him on the head, and stretched out his hand to pass through his body.

[Is it an illusion?]

The child closed his notebook, looked up, and reached for the test paper on the table.

Only then did Luo Shiyu see his face.

"You're that little brat ghost with an uncool name!"

【How did I end up in his fantasy world? 】

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of the name on the test paper.

"Ren Yuan? What did Xiao Yuanyuan write? 'Huanggang Final Sprint 100 Points'? Wow, he really deserves to be the top scorer in the grade."

Luo Shiyu walked around the room and found that he couldn't get out. He guessed that he could only move with Ren Yuan, so he simply stood there and waited.

"Click, click." The sound of a key being inserted into the door hole came from outside.

Ren Yuan heard a voice shouting, "Mom," and rushed out with the full-mark test paper.

Just as Luo Shiyu guessed, the scene moved to the living room with him.

The boy couldn't wait to see his mother, but she wasn't as enthusiastic as he was. She put the packed lunch box on the table, took off her messenger bag and threw it on the sofa, changed her high heels, and said to Ren Yuan with a tired look on her face, "Eat something and go to bed early. Mom is very tired and will go to rest first."

Ren Yuan showed his test paper to his mother, looking for praise: "Mom, I got first place in the test again."

My mother praised casually, "That's amazing."

"If I get first place in the exam, Mom will take me to the amusement park, right?"

"Ah."

"When?"

"Next time, definitely next time."

Ren Yuan acted like a child and yelled at her mother, "But that's what Mom said last time!"

"Mom is really tired. Can you be a little more understanding? I've already told you! Next time! Next time I will definitely take you there!"

"Next time again? How many next times do I have to wait? Xiao Wang only improved one place on his last exam, so his parents took him to the amusement park for three days. I always get first place on the exam, so why can't Mom take me there just once?"

"His parents are rich, how can you compare with him? You are a fatherless child, and I raised you up alone with great effort. Is it easy for me? Work is almost overwhelming me, so don't cause any more trouble!" After saying that, he went back to the bedroom, closed the door, and left Ren Yuan alone in the living room.

He was so small and stood in the light, with darkness all around him.

He asked himself, "How many next times should I wait?"

The screen keeps switching.

Another exam, another first place, another next time, definitely next time.

Another exam, and another first place. This time, he no longer had any hope.

Mom opened the door, holding two tickets to the amusement park, and said to him with a smile: "Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow!"

Ren Yuan was extremely excited when he received the ticket, with a childlike light in his eyes: "Yeah!"

My mother's cell phone vibrated and she answered the call.

The voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged man.

"Xiao Li! Come to the company to work overtime tomorrow."

"But, Manager, I haven't had a vacation in half a year, and I want to take my kids there tomorrow..."

"Xiao Li, you are at the peak of your career right now. You should know that there are many people who want to take your position."

Mom looked at Ren Yuan hesitantly.

He understood that his mother had to work overtime every time she answered the phone, so he said sensibly, "Next time. It will be the same next time."

The next day, his mother left early as usual, leaving him to heat up the leftovers from last night in the microwave. That was his breakfast.

After eating, I go to school by myself, go to the canteen at noon, and go home by myself after school in the evening.

He once again questioned himself: "If my mother was not happy, why did she give birth to me?"

There was an alarm outside, and Ren Yuan ran to the window to check the situation outside.

What he waited for was not the amusement park of his dreams, but a missile from the enemy.

Luo Shiyu subconsciously rushed over to protect him.

There was a flash of white light before his eyes, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. He had no tomorrow, and no so-called next time.

The child's final voice echoed in the air.

I really want to see a real amusement park, not the imaginary one I see in picture books and photos.

"Master! Master! Master!" Xiao Hei jumped up and down and waved his hands in front of Luo Shiyu.

Luo Shiyu blinked and regained consciousness. Seeing Xiao Hei's expression, he said, "What are you crazy about?"

"What do you mean by crazy? The owner has been in a daze for a long time since he found this ghost token. He won't respond no matter how I call him."

"How long was I stunned?"

Xiao Hei: "I don't know."

Xiaobai: "One minute and twenty-nine seconds."

"Just over a minute?" Luo Shiyu fell into deep thought.

"But I should have been in this illusion for at least six months. Setting aside the time, why was I able to see these things? I can't figure it out. Forget it. Life isn't going as planned. As long as you're willing to let go and stop thinking about it."

Luo Shiyu looked down at the amusement park ticket with a puppet painted on it and asked, "Do you still want to go to the amusement park?"

Xiao Hei thought Luo Shiyu was asking her, and her eyes sparkled as she replied, "I want to go! Shall we go now?"

Luo Shiyu turned and walked towards Xiaobai's ghost domain, deliberately teasing Xiaohei and said, "Not now, I don't have time, next time, definitely next time!"

"When is the next time?"

"Who knows."

"Ah~ Why is this happening!"
