My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 222: Horrifying Phone Call

"Xiaodie? When did you come back?"

Zhuang Xiao went to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of water and walked over to hand her one.

Shu Die pouted slightly, with a hint of disdain on her delicate face, "I want to drink Coke!"

Zhuang Xiao was startled for a moment, then smiled and put the glass bottle against her collagen-filled face, and then was satisfied to see her exclaim and dodge away, "That thing is not healthy, I used to like drinking Coke, or you told me to drink less, have you forgotten?"

Shudie didn't care, "It's just once in a while. Besides, we can drink sugar-free Coke!"

As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and started placing orders with the supermarket, and then directly bought a bunch of drinks and puffed snacks.

Zhuang Xiao was helpless, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he sat down and asked casually, "By the way, I haven't told you yet. Why did you come back so suddenly without telling me?"

"Because I want to give you a surprise." Shu Die sat on the lazy sofa with her long legs crossed like a tumbler, shaking her head, "Brother Xiao, do you think my new hairstyle looks good?"

Brother Xiao. It seemed that she hadn’t called herself that since she entered junior high school.

According to the girl, it was too shameful.

So from then on she called herself "Brother Xiao".

"It looks good." Zhuang Xiao looked at Shu Die's clothes and jeans, as well as the baseball cap with cat ears, "But why did you change your style of dressing?"

Although this girl used to be a tomboy, she later dressed like an office lady or in a neat and mature style.

If she wasn't in front of Zhuang Xiao, her temperament would be more like that of an iceberg beauty.

But now Shudie looks a bit hip-hop, or a lot younger and prettier, and she dresses like a female college student.

And this trait is not only in front of me, but it seems like she has always been like this.

Has your temperament changed so much after this trip?
Zhuang Xiao curled his lips, "You won't pretend anymore when nothing happens, right?"

It seems that she had been on high alert before, but now that the company has cashed in, she is too lazy to pretend anymore.

Moreover, Shu Die in this timeline did not experience the deaths of Gu Shiyue and Dong Weirui, and she herself had never encountered any danger, so it was normal for her to appear so innocent.

"Hehe~~"

Shu Die looked grinning.

She got up to turn on the TV, then turned on the game console below, "Brother Xiao, let's dance~"

Zhuang Xiao was speechless, "No, you are in a good mood?"

What's wrong with this girl? She seems to be in a good mood since she came back.

"Did your dad give you a big red envelope?"

"No, I'm just happy!" Shudie came over and grabbed his arm and tried to pull him up, "Come on, come on, let's dance!"

"I can't dance." Zhuang Xiao slumped on the sofa, not wanting to move. "Why dance when you can't?"

"Who said I can't?"

Shu Die was dissatisfied, so she turned on the game console and found a dance game, then performed a jazz piece for Zhuang Xiao accompanied by music.

That movement, that strength, that flexibility, it's simply unbeatable!
Zhuang Xiao was shocked, "No! You really can dance!"

Didn’t this girl study finance in college?

Have you ever signed up for dance classes before?

But Zhuang Xiao remembered that she said she had practiced fighting. How could she be so energetic?

"We're just getting started~"

Shu Die was very proud. She changed to a folk song and performed a folk dance for Zhuang Xiao on the spot.

Zhuang Xiao is not a professional, but he can see that Shu Die's body movements and rhythm are definitely at a professional level!

He had seen girls from Beijing Dance Academy performing folk dance on Bilibili before, and he felt that they were not even as professional and beautiful as Shu Die!

"Sure, Xiaodie, when did you practice?"

"Hey hehe~~~"

Shu Die didn't answer, but just laughed foolishly.

It seemed that Zhuang Xiao's praise made her feel better.

She ran over and squatted in front of Zhuang Xiao, looking up at him. Her big starry eyes seemed to be glowing. "Brother Xiao, if you like, I will dance for you every day in the future, okay?" Looking at Shu Die who seemed to be offering a treasure, Zhuang Xiao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

But dancing.
Shudie's powerful yet graceful dance just now appeared in his mind, and he nodded subconsciously, "Okay."

"Great!"

Shu Die jumped three feet high, and the hat on her head was a little loose. Then she subconsciously pressed the hat down, and then stood up and said, "Brother Xiao, you take a rest first, I'll go buy a Coke!"

Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows, "I'll go."

"No need! You just came back, take a rest~"

Shu Die pushed him back, then skipped out the door humming a song.

Zhuang Xiao's brows slightly furrowed after hearing the sound of the door closing.

"Strange. Something is very wrong."

What happened to make her so happy?
And even a compliment from me can make her happy for a long time.

And why is she so young and beautiful?

"Could it be that Uncle Shu said he supports her in pursuing me? Should I agree, agree, or agree?"

Zhuang Xiao suddenly thought of An Lan's gentle and relieved smile as she waved goodbye.

He laughed at himself, sighed, and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, his cell phone suddenly rang.

He was still immersed in melancholy and was too lazy to answer it.

But the phone kept ringing, he picked up the phone a little impatiently, and then was stunned.

The caller is Dong Weirui.

Zhuang Xiao subconsciously looked up at the electronic clock on the wall.

今天是2025年4月1日，晚上21点55分。

Why would Wei Rui call so late?

Zhuang Xiao remembered that Dong Zeyu said his sister was out on a field trip today. It seemed like a murder case occurred at the Municipal Bureau?
Zhuang Xiao answered the phone with some confusion, "Hello, Wei Rui?"

"Where are you?" Dong Weirui's tone was always serious and unhurried.

"At home, in the house by the Luo River."

Zhuang Xiao still noticed something was wrong.

Although Dong Weirui has always been serious, his tone now seems to contain some unknown emotions besides seriousness.

"what happened?"

"There is an abandoned village in the suburbs. At the end of the village is an abandoned chicken farm. Do you know this place?"

Hearing Dong Weirui's words, Zhuang Xiao straightened up instantly, "I know, that place used to belong to my father and Xiaodie's father. It was transferred to my name two months ago, but no one has taken care of it. What happened?"

Isn't that the chicken farm the warehouse where he planned to kill Liu Lang and the other four?
He suddenly had a bad feeling at this moment.

But after this premonition, his heartbeat began to accelerate unnaturally.

Maybe he himself didn't realize that he actually had some expectations.

Could it be An Lan?
She is back again?
"A body was found in the basement of the warehouse there, a body that was burnt to a charcoal."

Along with the sound from the mobile phone receiver, the security door opened.

Shu Die walked in from outside.

Zhuang Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could no longer hear what Dong Weirui said next on the phone.

He just looked up at Shu Die.

She was not wearing a baseball cap and her hair was tied in a high ponytail like in her school days.

And she was wearing a white dress.
