My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 17 All that's left is noise
Apart from Shu Die's confusion, the atmosphere between Zhuang Xiao and Dong Zeyu became increasingly tense.

After an unknown amount of silence, Dong Zeyu suddenly laughed out loud, "You're just worrying about nothing!"

Zhuang Xiao looked at him silently.

Dong Zeyu then hurriedly explained, "Actually, it's all speculation now. According to what you said, we have speculated many times before, but speculation alone is useless. What if a girlfriend really sent you a text message?

"Or maybe you really sent this message yourself, but the purpose was to remind you, or it could be a 'beacon' to go back in time. No one can say for sure."

He spread his fat hands and said, "If you are always worried and hesitant, then don't do anything. What we should do is to prevent problems before they happen. At least we can get through today first, and then we can think about tomorrow's affairs.

"If you can get through today successfully, why would you care about text messages?"

At this point, Dong Zeyu winked at Shu Die, "When there's someone in front of you, will you still be bothered by a non-existent 'air girlfriend'?"

Shu Die secretly gave Dong Zeyu a thumbs up in her heart, and then cut in, "I think Xiao Ge, you have been single for too long. You are not bad. It was just that fate had not arrived in the past. But I am back now!"

Zhuang Xiao pulled himself out of his tense mood and laughed, "I can't afford a train car."

"I'm not the kind of girl who has been spoiled since childhood." Shu Die pouted, "I can also cook!"

"Oh?" Zhuang Xiao stroked his chin and looked up and down at the delicate girl, "Cook instant noodles?"

"Scrambled eggs with green peppers, braised spareribs, shredded pork with fish flavor, steamed sea bass, tomato and seaweed egg drop soup, mapo tofu, and beef stew with potatoes! These are what I am best at!" Shu Die was very proud. "I specially paid a chef to teach me these. I guarantee they are better than those in big restaurants!"

Zhuang Xiao was slightly stunned.

These dishes are his favorite dishes.
Did this girl learn this especially for him?

Zhuang Xiao's eyes became softer as he looked at her.

The eldest daughter of the Comfort Group, whom I haven't seen for so many years, is willing to do this for him.
Zhuang Xiao suppressed the inexplicable emotions in his heart, suddenly coughed twice, turned his head away and didn't dare to look at Shu Die, "Xiao Die, wait until tomorrow. How about we watch a movie together tonight?"

Shu Die stared at him blankly. Zhuang Xiao's face felt hot when she looked at him. "Hey, is there something on my face?"

Shu Die bit her lower lip, her eyes suddenly reddened, "Brother Xiao, it's great that you can come out of this."

As soon as she said this, Zhuang Xiao and Dong Zeyu, who was smiling like an aunt next to him, both froze in expression.

Zhuang Xiao also subconsciously turned his head to look at Dong Zeyu.

Dong Zeyu squeezed his fat face and said, "If my sister in heaven saw that you can come out, she would definitely be happy for you."

Immediately, they tacitly stopped talking about this topic.

Zhuang Xiao looked up and asked, "Master, will you go to the movies with us tomorrow?"

"Why should I go? To be a light bulb?" Dong Zeyu waved his hand. "I still have to work hard to help you investigate tomorrow. You two should not relax. Let's talk about it after this matter is settled."

Shu Die had already started looking down at her phone to find a movie. Upon hearing this, she raised her head and said, "It's okay. I checked. Transformers: Origins will be out for a while. We will definitely make it in time~"

Zhuang Xiao was startled, "You like Transformers?"

"It's okay." Shu Die's shoulders shrugged slightly, which was quite similar to Zhuang Xiao's shrug. "Xiao brother, you definitely don't watch other art films or romance films. There are more than just Transformers."

Zhuang Xiao laughed, "Xiao Die, you don't have to follow me."

"You are not me, how do you know that I don't like it? I'm going to go along with you! From now on, I'm going to make you 50 pounds fatter! If you leave me, no one will want you anymore!" Shu Die rolled her eyes at him and continued to happily plan her next "date schedule" with her head down.

Zhuang Xiao had no choice but to go with her.

Besides, he is actually quite happy in his heart. He has a girl with a good figure, good personality, beautiful looks and a rich family who cares about him in everything, and the two of them can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Coupled with the stunning scene when the tomboy returned, to be honest, as long as Zhuang Xiao was still a human being, it would be hard for him not to be moved.

Seeing Shu Die already looking at him and planning to buy clothes for him and choosing the style, Zhuang Xiao not only did not feel annoyed, but even felt that time was passing too fast.

After all, Shu Die hadn't seen them for seven years. The three of them reminisced about their childhood memories and talked about the future. Unconsciously, the sunlight outside the office window turned golden red, and the natural light in the room began to dim.

While Dong Zeyu stood up to pour some water, he turned on the light in the office.

He looked up at the clock on the wall and frowned, "Strange, it's already 7:20, why haven't my master and the others come back yet?"

Zhuang Xiao also found it strange. "Indeed, you left work normally during the previous time travel. Your master and his friends should have returned around six o'clock."

"Well, the butterfly effect. How does that phrase go? A butterfly flaps its wings somewhere—"

"Come on, stop showing off your elementary school knowledge."

Although Zhuang Xiao felt that the time they came back was not right, he did not take it to heart. After all, judging from the previous times when he looked back in time, those police officers who were out on duty had nothing to do with this matter.

But to be on the safe side, Zhuang Xiao still asked, "Where did your master and his team go on the field trip?"

"Well, there's a dispute between the property management and the owner in the area, and they went to mediate." Dong Zeyu looked scared, "Luckily it's my turn to be on duty at the unit today. Let me tell you, the most troublesome thing is to mediate the dispute. We don't know a lot of the relevant laws, and they're a bit vague.

"We think we are neighbors, so let's not make it too awkward. People will accuse us of being a peacemaker. But we want to enforce the law seriously and bring the person back for mediation. He just lies on the ground and shouts for help. What can you do?"

"You guys at the grassroots level in the community really have a hard time." Zhuang Xiao agreed casually, but he laughed in his heart.

It turns out that I was too nervous and became a little sensitive.

The three of them were chatting idly in this way, but in fact, their attention was no longer on these meaningless words.

As time approached, Zhuang Xiao stared at the alarm clock on the wall. The ticking of the second hand seemed to make his heart beat faster and faster.

Dong Zeyu and Shu Die were infected by his emotions and slowly began to stare at the clock on the wall.

At some point, the office with only three people became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The only sounds that could be heard were breathing and the ticking of the second hand.

Finally, the time came to "19:32".

Zhuang Xiao subconsciously tensed his muscles and clenched his fists tightly. The next moment, he felt a warm and soft slender hand covering the back of his hand. He subconsciously turned his head and met Shu Die's black and white eyes.

There is only encouragement and comfort.

Then he saw Shu Die's mouth slightly open, as if she said something silently.

'I'm right here.'

Yes, she is here.

Zhuang Xiao felt the warmth on the back of his hand, and his originally nervous heartbeat gradually slowed down, but he still stared at the clock on the wall.

575859
19:33!
Zhuang Xiao remained unmoved.

Because the last time Shu Die died in front of him was also at 19:33!
So he has to wait!
Finally, the second hand turned a circle and reached 58 seconds, 5919:34 again!
At that moment, Zhuang Xiao's whole body went limp as if he had lost strength. His face quickly turned pale and his right hand even trembled subconsciously but he couldn't control it.

A feeling of surviving a disaster made his hands and feet quickly turn cold.

He raised his head and wanted to speak, but his lips kept trembling and his upper and lower teeth were chattering.

The pressure, fear, and panic that had accumulated from "last night" until now completely erupted at this moment of true relaxation.

His eyes even got hot and tears almost rolled out.

Dong Zeyu quickly poured him a cup of hot water. Zhuang Xiao raised his hand to take it, but he couldn't catch it because his right hand was shaking. He grabbed his right wrist with his left hand to steady it, but he couldn't do it even though his right wrist turned blue.

Shu Die took the cup of water, half-knelt in front of Zhuang Xiao, and fed him carefully bit by bit.

Her pretty face was also pale, but her red eyes showed only heartache.

"Brother Xiao, drink slowly."

After about five minutes, Zhuang Xiao took a few deep breaths before he slowly calmed down.

Shu Die did not stand up. She still half-knelt beside him and gently stroked his back. The faint and elegant fragrance lingered around his nose. Zhuang Xiao exhaled and smiled at her, "I'm fine."

Shu Die shook her head slightly, still squatting there stubbornly and firmly, patting his back.

Dong Zeyu on the other side smiled and said, "It's a good thing to vent your emotions. I've always felt that you've been holding it back, Brother Zhuang. When there were murder cases in the past, many of the victims' families had similar reactions to you. They didn't react at all on the spot, and they would only react like this after the incident was over."

"Not yet." Zhuang Xiao's hands had regained stability at this moment. He took the water cup and took a sip. "Wait a little longer, until eight o'clock. If nothing is wrong at eight o'clock, then everything is really fine."

Dong Zeyu's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and took a look, then smiled and said, "Okay, my master and his team sent a message saying that they will bring someone back to mediate in a while. It's just right that we can go eat after they come back to take over the shift."

The atmosphere at this moment is completely different from that in the afternoon.

In order to help Zhuang Xiao relax, Shu Die took out her cell phone album and found a lot of photos of her in college to show Zhuang Xiao, and then told Zhuang Xiao about her high school and college days. She even boasted to Zhuang Xiao that she used to be the main player of the school basketball team, and that she worked out regularly and had great strength.

Zhuang Xiao's mood gradually relaxed.

At 19:55, several police cars suddenly drove into the yard outside the office, and then several policemen and a dozen dejected people got out of the cars and walked into the office building.

Zhuang Xiao took a look and felt that it was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.

"Let's go, my master and the others are back."

Seeing this, Dong Zeyu called Zhuang Xiao and the others.

Zhuang Xiao glanced at the time, felt relieved, and stopped thinking about those trivial things. He stood up and the three of them walked out of the office together.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw the policeman giving a speech, while the dozen or so people were arguing with red faces and thick necks.

Dong Zeyu greeted his master, then took Zhuang Xiao and the others around the group of people and walked out.

But at the moment when the two sides passed each other, Zhuang Xiao suddenly turned back and his pupils shrank sharply.

What a strange thing he thought!

those people!
More than half of those people were wearing the same work clothes!

Zhuang Xiao had seen the style and color of this work clothes before!

Luohua Property!

There was a sound of wind, and a dark-skinned man wearing a cap and work clothes suddenly rushed towards the three people! Zhuang Xiao caught a glimpse of a reflection in his hand from the corner of his eye!
He subconsciously stopped Shu Die behind him, but in an instant, a strong force suddenly came from his shoulder, pulling him and making him stagger back a few steps.

Then he saw the beautiful figure standing in front of him.

Blood splatters!
"Brother Xiao, you don't know! I used to be on the school basketball team! And I work out every day, so I'm very strong! You're definitely not as strong as me!"

“I’m right here”

"Shall we go to a movie?"

"Xiao brother, you look good in this outfit!"

"I can cook! Scrambled eggs with green peppers."

Om-!
The roars and scolding around him seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. The police rushing over and the terrified screams of those who were brought over all seemed to be in slow motion in his eyes.

Zhuang Xiao suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. His ears seemed to be filled with buzzing sounds.

There was nothing left in his mind at this moment.

And all that's left is noise.
