My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 154 Change
"You live here?"

Zhuang Xiao looked around the room.

He was familiar with this place. It was the large flat overlooking the Luo River where he lived in the [3.1] timeline.

"Yes, I came back specially to pick you up."

Shu Die took a bottle of sparkling water from the refrigerator and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "Brother Xiao, how about we go out for dinner tonight? It can be considered as a welcome dinner for you."

Zhuang Xiao took the water, twisted it open, took a sip, and then asked, "Where is Master Dong?"

Shu Die tilted her head, "Master Dong?"

"It's Dong Zeyu and his sister Dong Weirui." Zhuang Xiao asked, "Where are they?"

Then it dawned on him, "Oh yeah, they're supposed to be at work today."

Shu Die looked confused, "I don't know them, are they your former classmates, Brother Xiao?"

Zhuang Xiao finally reacted.

If he had killed An Lan at the age of fourteen, he would have drifted away from Dong Zeyu and his sister who were planning to enter the police academy.

He pursed his lips and then asked, "By the way, why didn't my parents come to pick me up?"

Shu Die's face was gloomy, and she was vaguely worried about Zhuang Xiao. "Brother Xiao, have you forgotten?"

Zhuang Xiao was startled, "What did you forget?"

Shu Die seemed a little cautious, "That's right. My uncle and aunt died of illness from overwork a few years ago."

Om-!
Zhuang Xiao's mind went blank and there seemed to be a strange roar in his ears.

He just felt dizzy, his body swayed and he sat down on the sofa.

"Brother Xiao! Are you okay?" Shu Die rushed over and grabbed his arm with a concerned look on her face, "My dad cares about you too, you have to accept my condolences."

"I am fine."

After a long while, Zhuang Xiao finally put down his hands that were covering his face.

His face had regained its composure.

"What about Gu Shiyue? Is she a scientist now? Or a doctor?"

Shu Die seemed a little flustered, "She-she is dead too"

"."

There was no visible emotion on Zhuang Xiao's face.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "How did she die?"

"The police said it was suicide, I don't know the details." Shu Die pursed her lips, "After you, Xiao Ge, got into trouble, my father asked me to transfer to Beijing."

"I see. I understand." Zhuang Xiao turned around and asked, "Xiao Die, do you know where I put all those things?"

Shu Die shook her head, "Not sure."

"I understand." Zhuang Xiao nodded slowly.

Shu Die was a little cautious, "Brother Xiao, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but I don't feel like going out for dinner tonight. Can we eat at home?" Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled. "By the way, can you lend me some more money? I want to buy a cell phone and get a phone card."

"Just use mine."

Shu Die turned around and ran into the bedroom. After a while, she took out a box and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "Brother Xiao, I've prepared it a long time ago."

Zhuang Xiao looked down and saw that it was an Apple 16promax.

Brand new, unopened.

"Then thank you."

Now is not the time to be polite.

He opened the box, took out his phone, turned it on and activated it, and then Shudie helped him insert the prepared phone card into the card slot.

Of course, this phone card was issued in Shudie’s own name.

After everything was ready, Zhuang Xiao downloaded WeChat and registered, but his WeChat account was blank.

But it doesn’t matter, he downloaded QQ again and then saw two messages.

那两条消息分别发于2012年的9月21日晚上跟9月22日晚上。

One was from Dong Zeyu: "Brother! Wait for me to save you!"

The other one was from Dong Weirui. "I believe you."

Zhuang Xiao smiled, turned off his phone and stood up, "Let's go, Xiaodie, let's go buy some groceries first. I'll show you my skills tonight."

Shu Die took the opportunity to change the subject, "Brother Xiao, can you cook?"

"Of course not." Zhuang Xiao gave a perfect reason, "I learned it while I was in there."

The two of them went out to buy groceries immediately.

At 20: pm, Shudie collapsed on the sofa without any image, patting her belly, "I can't eat anymore. I really can't eat anymore."

She turned her head and looked at Zhuang Xiao with a complicated expression, "Brother Xiao, is there a star chef as a teacher?"

In fact, she exaggerated the deliciousness of the food.

The main reason is that expectations were low at the beginning.

"That's not necessary." Zhuang Xiao withdrew his gaze from the TV, which was showing the Chinese national football team playing in the World Cup qualifiers.

The score is 2:0.
The Chinese national football team is ahead.

2:0而不是0:7，这说明现在的时间线是“2”开头而不是“3”开头。

I just don't know what the number behind it is.

After packing up, Shudie went back to the master bedroom to sleep at night. Zhuang Xiao, who was lying on the bed in the second bedroom, put on his clothes and quietly left the flat. He went to the Luo River beach across the road downstairs and found a bench to sit down.

Today is September 2024, 9. The night is still very hot even though autumn has just begun.

He took out the mobile phone he had just bought today, opened QQ, and then tried to send a message to Dong Zeyu.

"I am back."

Then after hesitating for a moment, he sent the same message to Dong Weirui.

However, the QQ avatars of the brother and sister were all gray, and Zhuang Xiao never thought that they would reply to his messages.

But just when he was about to quit QQ, his cell phone suddenly rang twice.

"Where are you?"

"Where."

The brother and sister’s QQ avatars lit up, and then they sent messages one after another.

Zhuang Xiao smiled, then sent their location, then quit QQ and searched online for anything related to An Lan and Gu Shiyue.

The case of Gu Shiyue was not found at all.

There was no detailed information about An Lan's case, only that she died of illness at her workplace on September 2012, 9.

Perhaps it is because of her sensitive identity that the authorities suppressed the specific news.

"Zhuang Xiao!"

While I was thinking, suddenly a loud roar came from not far away.

When Zhuang Xiao turned around, he saw Dong Zeyu, who was over 200 pounds, running towards him.

This fat guy is so flexible.

He rushed over, grabbed Zhuang Xiao and hugged him, then patted him hard on the back, "You finally came out!"

Zhuang Xiao was shocked by his enthusiasm. He finally broke free and said in surprise, "No, we haven't seen each other for twelve years. Why are you so enthusiastic right away? And you actually recognized me?"

Now it was Dong Zeyu's turn to be surprised. "Twelve years? Man, are you out of your mind?"

Zhuang Xiao noticed it keenly, and he did not call himself "Brother Zhuang".

Sure enough, there was still a tragically thick barrier between the two of them.

But what does this fat guy mean?
Does that mean he has visited me in prison in the past twelve years?
"Sure enough, there was something fishy about the original case."

A serious but slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Zhuang Xiao turned around and saw the heroic Dong Weirui appeared beside him at some point.

Seeing Zhuang Xiao looking over, she gave a barely perceptible smile, "Welcome back."

Seeing her smile, Zhuang Xiao's originally anxious and desperate heart gradually relaxed.

The smile reappeared on his lips.

"Well, I'm back."
