My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 262 So far away
At the warehouse door, looking at the lush green grass around him, Dong Weirui walked over to Zhuang Xiao and asked softly, "What's wrong? You look distracted."

"Nothing." Zhuang Xiao shook his head and turned around to see Dong Zeyu circling around the machine. "What is he doing?"

"I told him not to touch it." Dong Weirui looked back and continued, "Just let him watch, so that he won't have anything to do."

After a pause, she inadvertently raised her hand to gather a strand of hair that was blown by the wind and put it behind her ear again. "If there is anything, there is no need to keep it to yourself. I think I am still worthy of your trust."

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Xiao smiled with relief, "That's right."

Then he sighed, a trace of worry flashed across his brows, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Maybe it's because I always feel insecure. Anyway, I'm quite nervous."

"It's just that you think too much. You've always liked to think too much since you were a child. I remember we all took a test before, and it showed that you have a typical introverted personality. Even in a normal chat, if you said something and others didn't respond, you would start to think internally, wondering if you had offended them or something.

"If someone says something and you don't respond, you will start to feel guilty, wondering if your actions will make the other person think you have a problem with them.

“But in reality, even if they forget or don’t hear clearly, people won’t have any opinion.

“Sometimes, you should stop and let your brain rest a little, or even get angry at others. As the saying goes, it’s better to torment others than to waste your own energy.

"Although it may make others uncomfortable, at least you will feel more comfortable."

Dong Weirui's voice was calm, but it contained a serious and majestic tone, as if he were a high school class teacher.

This feeling actually made Zhuang Xiao's heart gradually calm down.

"You're right." Zhuang Xiao's shoulders relaxed. "That's right. You're more professional than me in finding clues in criminal investigations, and Yueyue is even more out of my league in science. It's great to have you helping me."

"so be it."

Zhuang Xiao simply sat down, not caring at all about the trousers of his high-end suit.

"Let's wait until Yueyue and Xiaodie arrive."

"Okay." Dong Weirui also sat down.

The natural fragrance of shampoo and body lotion drifted past his nose, making Zhuang Xiao subconsciously squint his eyes comfortably.

I don’t know if it was the sense of security brought by Dong Weirui’s fragrance, or the comfort brought by the warm spring sun.

After an unknown amount of time, the roar of the V8 engine woke up Zhuang Xiao, who had fallen asleep.

He opened his eyes subconsciously and found himself lying in Dong Weirui's arms.

Zhuang Xiao stood up subconsciously, "Wei Rui, you..."

"What's wrong?" Dong Weirui, who also stood up, gave him a puzzled look with her almond-shaped eyes.

".nothing."

Zhuang Xiao really didn't know how to start.

Do you want to ask why I am lying in your arms?
Forget it, let’s not talk about it for now.

He turned his head and looked outside the yard in the distance.

Gu Shiyue, who had a petite body but was carrying a large bag and dragging a huge suitcase, and Shu Die, who was slender and wearing a beige windbreaker, were about to enter the yard.

After seeing Zhuang Xiao, Shu Die's pretty face lit up, then she waved and ran towards Zhuang Xiao.

"Brother Xiao——"

But she didn't even finish her voice as she took a step toward the yard.

Zhuang Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he rushed over and shouted, "Don't come over!!!"

But it seems... it's too late.

Shu Die has already stepped into the yard.

The next moment, just like the chalk writing on the blackboard being erased by a blackboard eraser, Shu Die was wiped out from this world. Zhuang Xiao, who had already reached the gate of the courtyard, stretched out his hand, but only grabbed the air.

At that moment, the scene in the police station seemed to overlap with the present moment.

“I’m right here”

Shu Die's smile, which was filled with sadness, gentleness and playfulness, is still before my eyes.

At that time, Zhuang Xiao didn't catch it.

Later, he defied fate and thought he had caught it.

And now, he still hasn't caught it.

He slowly lowered his head, and the shadow of the wall covered the upper half of his face and his expression.

Gu Shiyue looked at him with some concern, "Zhuang Xiao."

Dong Weirui, who followed closely, subconsciously supported him, "Are you okay?"

Zhuang Xiao didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, we will definitely rescue Xiaodie! There has been some progress in the investigation!" Dong Weirui anxiously comforted Zhuang Xiao.

"I am fine."

He took a deep breath, and when Zhuang Xiao raised his head again, his face had regained its calm.

But his bloodshot eyes and clenched fists showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

He just suppressed his inner emotions and tried to calm himself down.

He had only guessed about Shu Die's disappearance the first two times or heard about it from Gu Shiyue.

And this time it was right in front of him.

The visual impact of seeing it with your own eyes is always the strongest.

Raising his hand and patting his cheek hard, Zhuang Xiao said seriously with a flushed face: "Yueyue, get to work first. I'll go over everything that happened here with you."

Then he told everything that had happened since morning till now.

For example, he went to get the key and the timeline detector, and found the machine in a townhouse in Mid-Mountain Valley, then transported it here and powered it up. He also talked about how the detector was a switch and how he started it.

Then he took out the notebook left by An Lan and handed it to Gu Shiyue.

In the warehouse, Gu Shiyue, who had been fiddling around just now, simply sat down on the floor, took the notebook and started reading.

While watching, she asked without looking up, "What did you find when you stopped Xiaodie just now?"

"Well, it's mainly because the scope of the 'shadow world' superimposed by the 'channel' is expanding. This is also what I discovered at An Lan's house."

The last time I went there with Dong Weirui, Dong Weirui found some blood stains on the crack of the door, but he didn't find it this time.

"The mosaic figure in the surveillance video makes me more certain of this."

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I don't want Xiaodie to go home, I'm afraid she will disappear after going in, so I moved here. I originally thought that the scope was in the basement, even if it has been expanded now, it is at most a part of the warehouse.

"But I just started the machine and the surrounding area might be greatly affected, so I wanted her to stay outside first, but it was too late."

"There's still time." Gu Shiyue simply comforted him, then stood up and brushed the dust off his white coat.

Dong Zeyu was puzzled, "Teacher Gu, have you finished reading this?"

Gu Shiyue nodded lightly, "I know what's going on."

Then she turned around and opened the oversized suitcase, and took out a bunch of equipment, even drones and robot dogs, and then pointed at the ring and said, "Restart it and do the test."
