My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 55 The Future Changes Again

After school in the afternoon, Zhuang Xiao waited at the school gate.

After a while, Shu Die came over, and after waiting for another ten minutes, the Dong brothers and sisters also walked out of the teaching building together.

"Brother Zhuang, I went specially to find my sister and came here together. I hope it didn't delay your birthday?" Dong Zeyu explained happily.

"No problem." Zhuang Xiao took out the key to his Mercedes-Benz electric scooter and threw it to him. "Let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries."

Dong Zeyu took the key and put it in his pocket. "How about we split up? My sister and I are going to buy groceries, you guys go back and prepare or buy a cake or something."

"Forget it, let's go to the vegetable market together." Zhuang Xiao felt scared when he heard "split into two groups".

Liu Lang and his men split their troops into two groups, and some died and some disappeared.

Tonight is the last night. Tomorrow is New Year's Day holiday. After the holiday is over, the four of them will go to the capital and will never be in danger again.

So the most dangerous time is the next few hours.

Do you want to be as stupid as those idiots in horror movies if you split your troops into two groups at a time like this?
Dong Zeyu and others knew that Zhuang Xiao had something on his mind and he felt insecure now.

So they looked at each other and didn't say anything more.

When they were about to leave, they turned around and saw Teacher Xu talking and laughing with the four people and were about to leave.

Zhuang Xiao watched them go away, then turned back to look at the brightly lit school building and the bustling students at the entrance.

It is hard to imagine that such an ordinary key high school in the city actually hides a secret that could cause someone to kill and silence someone.

But those secrets no longer mattered to him.

Zhuang Xiao felt relaxed at the moment. He and Dong Zeyu bought a lot of vegetables and then returned to the rental house to cook a sumptuous meal.

When the four of them were growing up, they actually ate everything up like a whirlwind.

"I didn't know this before. Brother Zhuang, when did you secretly practice cooking?" Dong Zeyu collapsed on the sofa and patted his belly.

Just now Zhuang Xiao was a little nervous because they were outside and he was afraid that someone would suddenly appear and stab him or something.

Now that he was back in the house, he felt relieved.

So he laughed and teased, "Don't worry about where I learned my cooking skills. You have a physique that is prone to obesity. If you keep eating like this, you will really become 'Master Dong'."

"I'm just strong!" Dong Zeyu retorted.

"Yeah, Dong Zhuo was just strong when he was young." Zhuang Xiao teased, and then seeing that Shu Die was in a bad mood, he asked: "What's wrong, is the food I cooked not to your liking?"

Shu Die glanced at him sideways, pouted and muttered, "The book says that men learn to cook to please girls."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Dong Weirui, who had a calm expression.

Zhuang Xiao found it funny.

This little girl is quite cute when she can't hide her secrets.

"I really want to eat it. I'll make it for you every day when we get to the capital. I'm afraid you'll get tired of it soon."

"That definitely won't happen!" The tomboyish junior high school girl's face suddenly turned from cloudy to bright.

Zhuang Xiao didn’t have many friends to begin with, and with the three of them chatting with him, his originally depressed mood improved a lot.

"By the way, Xiao-ge, it's time to eat cake!"

Shudie ran to get the cake she had bought, opened it, and then placed two candles in the shape of the Arabic numeral "18" in the correct position. She then found a specially bought lighter and lit the candles.

"Brother Xiao, please wait a moment."

She got up and ran to turn off the light, then ran back over, "It's time to make a wish."

Zhuang Xiao glanced at the three people and saw three smiling faces illuminated by candlelight.

That’s right, in addition to Shu Die and Dong Zeyu, even the usually serious Dong Weirui showed a gentle smile.

At this moment, Zhuang Xiao felt even more that his choice was correct.

It was not until twelve o'clock in the evening that Zhuang Xiao finally relaxed completely.

Seeing that everyone was sleepy, he stood up and cleaned up the garbage and said, "Anyway, this house with three bedrooms and one living room is big enough, so let's stay here so late. I'll go take out the garbage."

If nothing unexpected happens, he might go back soon, because that's what happened last time.

He remembered clearly that he fell asleep at around 2 a.m. last time, which meant it was probably around that time this time.

But at this moment, he didn't want to go back.

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

If he could live his life over again, wouldn't he want to?
But he doesn't plan to sleep tonight, because if he really goes back to eight years later tonight, he has to remember the exact time.

He hoped that nothing would go wrong, and that time would not go back.

But just in case, he had to write down such an important clue as time.

So after the three people agreed, he picked up the garbage and went out to throw it away.

"Brother Xiao!" Shu Die's voice behind him made him stop.

Zhuang Xiao turned around with a puzzled expression.

Shu Die pursed her lips slightly, "We won't see each other for a long time when we get to the capital. The capital is very big."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you in the future."

Zhuang Xiao's gentle smile from the bottom of his heart at this moment made Shu Die a little dazed and her cheeks flushed.

She suddenly thought of the day when she first fell in love.

Yes, it was the day my mother left.

I hid in a small house in the small park outside and cried, and Xiaoge found me in the heavy rain.

At that time, he showed such a smile, saying that he would take care of himself with the same care as a mother when he was around.
She raised her head, smiled sweetly, and then nodded heavily.

"Ok!"
-
Zhuang Xiao opened his eyes and saw a ceiling that was strange yet somewhat familiar.

“Very high ceilings.”

Muttering something, Zhuang Xiao turned over, clamped the quilt with his legs and planned to catch up on some sleep.

The next moment he suddenly opened his eyes wide, turned over and sat up!

His mind became clear instantly!

The sun is shining! Huge floor-to-ceiling windows! The bedroom is over 100 square meters and has a 5-meter bed!

He went back eight years!
Zhuang Xiao immediately reached out and touched the three-fold Huazi beside the pillow.

He quickly opened it and checked the time.

【2024年9月10日 16点17分】

No text messages, though.
"Hmm? Four seventeen in the afternoon?"

Zhuang Xiao frowned slightly.

他记得上次时间回溯之前也是2024年9月10日，不过是早上7点32分。

But looking back suddenly in the afternoon, it should have been around four o'clock.

So, I have returned to the time before time went back?

So if that's the case, then the past has not been changed?! Shu Die and Dong Zeyu are still dead?!

Otherwise, how could the time be like this! And the large flat he lived in hadn't changed at all!
Zhuang Xiao hurriedly opened the phone book, scrolled down to find Dong Zeyu's cell phone number and called him.

This time the number was not in service, but it took a long time to get through.

Zhuang Xiao's breathing suddenly became rapid and his heart beat rapidly.

Until that familiar voice sounded on the phone.

"What's wrong, Mr. Zhuang? You've only had time to call me after a day back in Luoyang?"

There is a sense of strangeness in this sarcastic tone.

Zhuang Xiao felt that there might have been a tragically thick barrier between them, probably because he had stayed in Beijing after graduating from university?
So he laughed and scolded: "Why, do you still need to stammer and call me master? Then come on and call me master. I was thinking of treating you to dinner tonight."

The original strange barrier was instantly broken, and Dong Zeyu immediately became much more enthusiastic, "Okay, Mr. Zhuang, I thought you were a big boss now, and you forgot about your old classmate who was a policeman.

"Okay, wait until I get off work tonight. If the police aren't called by then, then what? Anyway, I'll come find you after get off work. Remember to send me the address of the 'luxury house'. By the way, there won't be bodyguards stopping me from going upstairs, right? Do I need to make an appointment?"

"Sir, just do your job honestly."

Zhuang Xiao hung up the phone and called Dong Weirui again.

It took a while for the other end to get through. "Have you returned to Luoyang?"

"Yes, Weirui, call your brother tonight and let's go have dinner together."

"Okay, see you tonight. I'm still sorting out the information."

"Okay, then you get busy first."

After hanging up, Zhuang Xiao's hands were shaking, his heart was beating faster, and his eyes stayed on the name "Shu Die" in the phone book.

After hesitating for a moment, he dialed the number.

The call was connected in one second.

Then, a gentle chuckle with a hint of complaint sounded in his ears:

"Brother Xiao, after we met Liu Lang, you said you wanted to take a nap in the afternoon. How come you've slept enough in just one hour?"

It was Shu Die's voice.
