My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 116 Back to Eight Years Ago

"Teacher, the answer is 3."

".Sit down, remember to listen to the class carefully, and stop daydreaming. And you too! Senior year is the most important year."

Zhuang Xiao sat down and automatically blocked out Xu Qicheng's earnest advice.

He lowered his head to look at the cell phone in the desk drawer, and the text messages on it disappeared piece by piece like chalk words on a blackboard being wiped off by an eraser.

And the time is now.
2016年12月31日，上午11点03分！
Sure enough, I'm back!

Zhuang Xiao waited until school was over and waited for someone at the school gate again.

After a while, Dong Zeyu and Dong Weirui came out.

"Brother Zhuang, let's go~"

Looking at the Dong brothers and sisters, Zhuang Xiao's heart sank.

He shook his head and said, "You guys go back first. I have other things to do at noon."

Dong Zeyu was heartless and said, "Okay, let's go first."

Dong Weirui stood there without moving.

Her proud high ponytail hung down behind her head, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned on her serious face. "Did something happen?"

Dong Zeyu realized it later, "What's wrong?"

Dong Weirui didn't answer, but continued to look at Zhuang Xiao, his clear black and white almond eyes were extremely serious, "You look very unhappy, did the teacher ask you to call your parents, because your phone was confiscated because you played with it in class?"

Zhuang Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I just lost the lock of my bicycle."

Parents called in for playing with phone in class?
If only it were this kind of everyday little thing.

But now think about it, when I was in high school, if my phone was confiscated during class and my parents were called to the police station, it seemed like a really big deal for the students.

Having said that, Wei Rui's observation skills are still as sharp as ever.
Dong Zeyu: “.”

Lost the lock?
It would be fine if the car was lost, but is it so sad to lose a lock?
Seeing Dong Weirui still standing there, Zhuang Xiao smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just that today is my birthday, and I was thinking about what to treat you two to dinner tonight."

Dong Weirui still frowned, "But it's evening self-study."

"Oh! Why do we need to attend evening self-study classes? Brother Zhuang is treating us! Besides, how many eighteenth birthdays can we have in our life? It's just one less day of evening self-study classes! Tomorrow is New Year's Day holiday!" Dong Zeyu raised both hands in agreement.

Dong Weirui hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, then tell the teacher to ask for a leave for evening self-study this afternoon."

"No problem." Zhuang Xiao patted Dong Zeyu on the back. "Okay, you guys go back and eat. I'll be back soon."

Seeing this, the Dong brothers and sisters had no objection. After saying goodbye to him, they turned around and left.

Looking at the two people leaving, Zhuang Xiao pursed his lips.

That's good, as long as they don't have evening self-study, they will be safe tonight.

But
He looked back at the school gate which had become empty after all the students had left, and then sighed.

"Sure enough. He didn't come."

In the winter snow, he waited for twenty minutes with the one in ten thousand chance of success.

But the lively figure did not jump onto his back.

After standing in the wind and snow for a while, Zhuang Xiao turned back and rode his bike.

He didn't go to the rental house opposite the school because he knew Shu Die couldn't be there.

The reason why she begged her father to rent a house there was actually to spend more time with her at noon.

Rather than the so-called love, perhaps, she is more dependent on herself because of the habit she developed since childhood.

Retracting his gaze from the building opposite, Zhuang Xiao pushed his bicycle and disappeared into the snow. He still had a lot to do today.
-
Zhuang Xiao went home for lunch. At the dinner table, he asked his father whether all the things in the warehouse in the suburbs had been cleared out. The answer his father gave was not surprising to him.

The homemade explosives and other things there had indeed been cleared away long ago.

But Zhuang Xiao still decided to go.

He wanted to confirm his thoughts.

However, he went home for lunch at noon not for this, but to look for the "remote control"!
In this timeline, Gu Shiyue gave him the "remote control" at noon on September 2012, 9. Eight years later, the "remote control" was still in his hands, which means that the thing must still be there now.

But after dinner he went back to his bedroom and searched the drawers for a long time but couldn't find it.

Then he thought about it, if it was a relic left to him by his good friend, where would it most likely be placed?
As he thought about it, his eyes gradually stopped on the wardrobe.

He immediately went over and opened the wardrobe, then bent over and rummaged through the layers of old clothes underneath. Then he pulled out from the corner a blue plastic toy "safe" that was as big as two pencil cases.

He picked it up and shook it, and the weight and movement inside made Zhuang Xiao look happy.

"It's really here!"

He opened the bedroom and took a look, and saw that his parents had gone to work, so he grabbed the "safe" and smashed it to the ground!
The "safe" shattered with a sound! A "remote control" inside also rolled several times and stopped by the wall.

Zhuang Xiao hurried over, picked it up and took a look, and was relieved when he saw that there was no trace of any marks on it.

“This thing looks like plastic, but it’s actually pretty solid.”

It looks like it might be some unknown material.

Without hesitation, he dug out the battery and stuffed it in, while also taking a look at the gap inside.

Indeed, there is still no calling card.

But he didn't care about that and pressed the green switch after installing the batteries.

Then the LCD screen above lit up and the number displayed was
【2.6】!
"Huh? Not 2.7?"

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Let’s first assume that this “remote control” is a “timeline detector”.

Why was it displayed as [2.7] before going back eight years, but became [2.6] after coming back?
What changed between the two?
Zhuang Xiao recalled for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Because Wei Rui chose not to attend the evening self-study class this time, she won't die tonight, right?"

That's why the numbers change.

If we infer this
In the timeline of [3.1], Gu Shiyue died, Shudie became close to him, and he became a rich man. Shudie, Dong Weirui, and Dong Zeyu all survived.

In the timeline of [2.0], I changed the time of Gu Shiyue's death, and then the number became [2.1]. Then I did not go to find Shudie, and the number became [2.4].

Eight years later, he was just the new vice president of a small company. At the same time, the score between the Chinese national football team and the Japanese team changed from 0:7 to 2:0. He was still not very familiar with Shu Die, and Dong Weirui still died on December 2016, 12.

The number at that time was [2.7].

And now, I have changed Dong Weirui's death, or at least prevented her from dying tonight.

The resulting number becomes [2.6].

Zhuang Xiao wrote down all these items in a notebook and compared them repeatedly.

Then he seemed to understand!

"If this thing is really a 'timeline detector'. No! Don't worry about whether it is or not! Don't worry about how it came from! Just assume that it is a 'timeline detector'!"

This is like doing a math formula, you can first assume a quantitative value, and then use this quantitative value to compare the other variables! Because the quantitative value is constant!

"If we assume that this thing is a 'timeline detector', then I seem to be able to figure out the meaning of these numbers!"
