My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 109 Will I really be with him in the future? (23)

Yes, he quit smoking a long time ago.

But Zhuang Xiao still has a question that has not been resolved.

He stroked his chin and asked, "Speaking of quitting smoking, Master, when did I quit smoking?"

Dong Zeyu was stunned when he heard this.

He frowned and thought hard for a long time, and finally slapped his forehead, "I forgot, maybe you will suddenly stop smoking one day."

Zhuang Xiao asked again, "Have I ever had any serious illness?"

"No, right?" Dong Zeyu shook his head. "Apart from that, there is definitely no serious illness."

Zhuang Xiao asked again, "Have I ever been penniless and had to borrow money from you to make ends meet?"

"Of course not." Dong Zeyu was curious, "What's wrong, Brother Zhuang? Why are you asking these nonsense questions?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Xiao narrowed his eyes and buried his doubts deep in his heart.

He was quite sure that he had been a smoker in the past.

He also joked about when he would quit smoking.

Either he is too poor to make ends meet, or the doctor says he will die if he doesn't quit smoking, or... he meets a girl he wants to spend his life with, and then he quits smoking to protect her from secondhand smoke.

But now he doesn't have six pack abs and is as strong as an ox, but he is also healthy.

And although they are not as rich as a country, at least they will not starve to death.

So that's... girlfriend?
But he is single.

So, for a girlfriend, you still have to choose one among Shu Die, Dong Weirui, and Gu Shiyue?
No. That doesn’t feel right either.

Shaking his head and putting the matter aside for the time being, Zhuang Xiao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "So why do you think I knew that they were planning to kidnap Mr. Shu? By the way, Liu Lang's purpose was not kidnapping but assassination."

Shu Die blinked her starry eyes, feeling even more confused.

Dong Zeyu took a deep breath, "Brother Zhuang, this is so scary!"

Shu Die frowned slightly.

She had a lot of questions to ask, but she didn't know how to start.

Because she had an inexplicable premonition that if she really asked Zhuang Xiao, he would definitely say something strange.

Forget it, let’s just wait and see.

Zhuang Xiao saw that Dong Zeyu seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help but laugh: "Where is it so terrifying?"

Dong Zeyu had a solemn expression and quietly glanced at the "gloomy rich second generation" with a cold face.

Oh, this is the nickname Dong Zeyu gave Shu Die in his mind.

Or it can be called “target portrait”.

He habitually creates a "target portrait" in his mind based on the first impression after meeting a person, so that it is easier to remember.

This is also a skill he learned in the police academy.

Shu Die pursed her lips and said nothing.

She understood what the fat policeman's look meant, he thought she was an outsider.

She couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Xiao's profile.

This guy is actually quite good-looking, provided he can slim down his jawline.

So in his heart, he also thinks that I am just an irrelevant outsider?
Although she thought so herself, Zhuang Xiao, who had planned to go on a blind date with her, also thought so. This still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She knew it was wrong, but she just couldn't control herself.

Lowering her eyes slightly, she said coldly: "I have something else to do, so I'll go first——"

Zhuang Xiao raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, pushing her back down when she was about to get up.

Shu Die turned around suddenly and opened her starry eyes wide, but saw that Zhuang Xiao had already withdrawn his hand and there was no reaction on his face, so she just pursed her lips, turned her head away with a cold face, and was secretly angry.

"No need, we are not outsiders, and this matter is related to all of you." Hearing Zhuang Xiao say this suddenly, Shu Die still did not respond or look back at him, but her slightly frowned brows relaxed without even her noticing.

"Since you said so."

Dong Zeyu said he never cared.

Then his expression suddenly turned serious, "Brother Zhuang, did you come back from the future?"

Zhuang Xiao stroked his chin, "But 'going back to the past' is actually impossible.

"Any small thing you change in the 'past' will cause relationships to change, and then someone will not be born, and all the people they had relationships with in the 'future' will no longer exist.

"The number of 'non-existent people' brought about by this will increase exponentially, and the final result will be that the entire world will cease to exist and have no future.

"So, like in movies and novels, a person can travel to the future hundreds of years later and change the present, but in the future, only the worldview changes, and the characters' personalities and even interpersonal relationships in the story remain unchanged. This is absolutely impossible."

Dong Zeyu was confused.

Because he felt that what Zhuang Xiao said made sense, but he still wanted to refute it, "But the novels, animations, and movies I've read are all -"

“So those are just soft science fiction, or the logic is flawed.”

Zhuang Xiao shrugged. "But the reason why the time is set hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years later is mainly to make it easier to write a story, and it is not easy to find logical problems."

Dong Zeyu rubbed his short flat head and said, "Did I guess wrong? Brother Zhuang, you didn't come back from the future?"

Zhuang Xiao snapped his fingers, "You guessed right."

Dong Zeyu: “Ah?!”

Shu Die also looked up in surprise.

How is this possible?
Zhuang Xiao said slowly: "Why do I know exactly how much salary you received today? Because you told me yourself."

He turned his head to look at Shu Die again, "Why do I know that they want to kidnap you and Liu Lang's goal is to kill you? Because because..."

His mind uncontrollably flashed back to the scene of her standing in front of him at the police station that night.

"Because you died right in front of me."

With what emotion did he say this?
Looking into his eyes, Shu Die felt the complex emotions in them.

Pain, guilt, relief, hatred, determination.
Although he was looking at himself, it seemed that he was not "looking" at himself.

Is it your future self?

Will I really be with him in the future?

I actually like him?

No, no, no. That's impossible!

But he can really fight, and he's still protecting himself
He cooks delicious food too! And the taste is perfect to my liking.

Hmm? So, is it because he cooks for himself every day in the future that he has mastered his taste perfectly?

So he wants to go on a blind date with me because I will be with him in the future?
Then why did he suddenly become so "cold" towards me?

Are you not going to pursue me anymore?

Shu Die felt a little confused for a moment, and even a little aggrieved.

But she herself didn't understand what was going on.

Fortunately, she always had a sullen face, so no matter how much she was feeling inside, no one could see it on the surface.

Seeing Zhuang Xiao's expression was not right, Dong Zeyu hurried to smooth things over, "But now they are all rescued, right? Since the things in the future have not happened, why not just pretend they never existed?"

Zhuang Xiao smiled, and then said, "Grandmaster, do you understand why I am telling you this?"

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

Dong Zeyu suddenly raised his head, his small green bean eyes widened and even bloodshot, "Brother Zhuang! Can you save my dad and my sister?!"

Shu Die also turned around suddenly!
If that's the case, can her mother also be saved?
