Gu Xizhou said to the policeman on night duty, "I'm really at my wit's end. Just let me stay here for one night."
He sat down on a chair in the police station. Clearly, he was planning to stay here.
The policeman was speechless for a moment. He stared at Gu Xizhou for a while. After a long silence, the policeman finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, young man, what trouble have you encountered?"
"Yes." Gu Xizhou thought for a moment, "There's something … I don't know what to do."
Gu Xizhou leaned against the chair and said to the policeman, "I'll just stay here for one night. Please."
"Alright then." The policeman saw Gu Xizhou's pitiful look and pondered for a moment before nodding.
The policeman originally wanted to say a few words to Gu Xizhou, but when he looked outside, he saw that it was already ten o 'clock. There was basically no one outside now. This person didn't have any money on him, so it wasn't a big deal for him to sit in the police station for one night.
The policeman continued to busy himself with his work. Suddenly, he heard a rumbling sound. He turned to look at Gu Xizhou and scratched his head. He took out a bag of bread from the drawer and said to Gu Xizhou, "Catch!"
After that, the policeman threw the bag of bread to Gu Xizhou.
"Thank you." Gu Xizhou caught the bread in the air. He was really pitiful. In the previous mission world, he cooked by himself. In this world, he had to sleep by the roadside!
Although he had money on him, the problem was that in 2004, the currency circulating in the market was still the old version. In 2005, the new version of RMB started to be used. He had the new version of RMB in his hand, so he couldn't use it even if he took it out!
Gu Xizhou took a bite of the bread. As he ate, the policeman came over to comfort Gu Xizhou, "Brother, I don't think you're a bad person. Although I don't know what you encountered, remember, you have to live well. Only by living can you change." “
Gu Xizhou smiled, "Thank you, I know."
"It's not that you know." The policeman sat on the bench and said softly to Gu Xizhou, "You really have to think this way. It's normal to encounter difficulties in life. Don't be like those people who are weak and take things too hard. Suicide won't solve anything."
"Um …" Gu Xizhou was stunned. "Thank you."
Gu Xizhou listened to the police talking for a while, then leaned against the bench to sleep. The police gave him a jacket. "Cover yourself and sleep. It's cold at night. You can return it to me in the morning."
"Thank you." Gu Xizhou thanked him and lay down on the narrow bench. He fell asleep on the narrow bench. The night passed in silence.
The next day, Gu Xizhou was woken up by the noise.
"Eh, Little Zhang, why is there another person lying here?"
"He said that he had no place to sleep and no money to eat, so I had him stay at the police station for one night."
The young police officer who walked in glanced at Gu Xizhou and said, "Oh, I brought you breakfast. Go back and rest after eating!"
"Okay, thank you, Brother Li!"
Gu Xizhou got up from the bench in a daze. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and slept on the long bench for the whole night. Gu Xizhou was in pain all over. When he opened his eyes, the police officer on duty last night had dark circles under his eyes. He even greeted him before leaving.
"You're awake?" Officer Li, who had just arrived at the police station to deliver breakfast to the police officer on duty, greeted Gu Xizhou and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
Gu Xizhou wanted to refuse, but he didn't say it out loud. He really was a little hungry.
After breakfast, Officer Li took out two old 50 yuan notes from his bag and handed them to Gu Xizhou. "Take it. Go home early. Don't let your family worry."
Gu Xizhou stared at the money in his hand and was stunned. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw the man's name engraved on the pen clipped to the man's clothes. "Your name is Li Yaomu?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Li Yaomu looked at Gu Xizhou in confusion. "What's wrong with my name?"
Gu Xizhou quickly waved his hand and said, "Nothing."
Li Yaomu was the police officer in charge of Tong Jia's case. He was also Wang Ao's colleague. It seemed that the police station he randomly walked into was the one where Wang Ao worked.
Gu Xizhou left the police station. When he put the money Li Yaomu gave him into his trouser pocket, he suddenly found a note in his bag with a few words written on it: Tong Jia, save her!
Gu Xizhou squeezed the note in his palm. It was written by Zhizhi. It seemed that Zhizhi appeared after he fell asleep last night.
However, if he saved Tong Jia, then Zhizhi might disappear.
Gu Xizhou walked to Zhizhi's elementary school with conflicted feelings. When he saw Gu Zhizhi and Wang Shu, he hid behind a tree outside the school. Zhizhi felt guilty because they played a prank on Tong Jia that day, which led to Tong Jia's suicide. Regardless of whether this incident had anything to do with Zhizhi, Gu Zhizhi subconsciously felt that he was responsible for creating such a world!
Therefore, if he changed the fact that he played a prank on Tong Jia in this supernatural world, then Zhizhi's wish would not be valid!
Gu Xizhou thought about it for a while. The main reason was that without Si Yu, Gu Xizhou didn't know if this would work. He could only try to cross the river by feeling his way.
Gu Xizhou found the security guard with the excuse that he wanted to transfer his child to another school and wanted to visit the school. The security guard looked at him suspiciously for a long time. He couldn't wrap his mind around it. "How old are you?"
"36!" Gu Xizhou said. "I just look younger."
"Uh, okay. Wait a moment. I'll call the Dean."
"Thank you."
The security guard thought for a while and walked into the guardhouse to make a phone call. "Teacher Guan, there's a student's parent who wants to ask about the transfer. I don't dare to let him in. What do you think we should do?
"Ah, the new teacher is coming out to pick him up? Okay, I'll ask him to wait at the entrance. "
Not long after the phone call ended, a young lady in her twenties walked out of the school. She was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans. She was young and pretty.
The young lady saw Gu Xizhou at the entrance and was slightly stunned. She turned to the security guard and asked, "Brother, where's the person that Teacher Guan asked me to bring?"
"It's him!"
The young lady quietly sized up Gu Xizhou. She put away the surprised expression on her face and said softly, "Hello, my name is Liu Tingting. Teacher Guan asked me to bring you to the teaching office."
Gu Xizhou nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome. It's my job." Liu Tingting's big eyes were smiling. After walking for a while, she couldn't help but secretly observe the 'parent' walking beside her.
Liu Tingting stared at Gu Xizhou's handsome face and felt a little pity. Why didn't she have such a handsome man as her husband?
Gu Xizhou also noticed that Liu Tingting was staring at him. He turned his head and gave her a slightly strange look. Liu Tingting immediately looked away and changed the topic. "We're almost there!"
"Okay, thank you." As Gu Xizhou walked, he took note of the class nameplates that he passed by on the way up. After confirming that Zhizhi's classroom was on the first floor, he followed Liu Tingting to the third floor.
After going up, Gu Xizhou talked seriously with Teacher Guan for a long time. He realized that each of these NPCs was more realistic than the other. In fact, NPCs were more like reflections of a time period. It was as if a section of the world's timeline was drawn out and all the reflections of that time period were placed in this space.
After chatting with everyone for a while, a few teachers showed him around the school. He kept asking questions and making excuses to chat with a few female teachers. When he mentioned leaving the school, the teachers said that they would send him out. However, Gu Xizhou didn't want to leave the school at all. He just wanted to take a look at Gu Zhizhi's situation.
He didn't know what he should do at the moment. He didn't even know if he should go and find Tong Jia! If saving Tong Jia meant that Gu Zhizhi had to disappear, it would be very difficult for him to convince himself to do so.
It had to be said that being handsome had its advantages. Gu Xizhou sat in the middle school cafeteria and thought to himself silently. He felt that he had thrown away his moral integrity. Just now, a few female teachers had politely invited him to have lunch together. He even swiped their cards!
Gu Xizhou ate his lunch and waited in the cafeteria for a while. Finally, he saw Gu Zhizhi, who was still a teenager.
After Gu Zhizhi and a few boys ate in the cafeteria, they didn't go back to the classroom. Instead, they played on the field. As the boys played, they caught a caterpillar and wrapped it in a piece of paper. Gu Xizhou saw this scene. Teacher Guan, who was sending Gu Xizhou off, walked beside Gu Xizhou.
Gu Xizhou pointed at Gu Zhizhi and the others, who were preparing to go back to the classroom, and said to Teacher Guan, "Those kids caught the caterpillar because they wanted to play tricks on the girls?"
Teacher Guan heard this and walked over in her high heels. She was indeed worthy of being the school's head of teaching. When the boys saw Teacher Guan, they immediately kept quiet out of fear and were as obedient as chickens.
"Give me the caterpillar!" Teacher Guan said coldly.
After Gu Zhizhi handed the thing in his hand to Teacher Guan, Teacher Guan directly took the handkerchief wrapped in the caterpillar and walked towards Gu Xizhou. At this time, Gu Zhizhi also noticed Gu Xizhou. He had a look of surprise on his face and his mouth was wide open.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xizhou walked over and said, "It's strange to see me."
Gu Zhizhi said helplessly, "Of course it's strange!"
"Hey, Mr. Fang, you know a student from our school?" Teacher Guan asked curiously.
Gu Xizhou: "Yes, Teacher Guan, you don't have to send me off. I'll leave after chatting with him."
"Then — all right." Teacher Guan looked down at Gu Zhizhi and hesitated for a moment before agreeing. After all, they were already at the school gate. The security guards were guarding the gate, so she wasn't worried that Gu Xizhou was a bad person who kidnapped children.
As soon as Teacher Guan left, Gu Zhizhi pointed at Gu Xizhou and asked, "Uncle, what exactly are you doing in our school?"
Gu Xizhou thought for a moment before replying, "My younger brother studies in this school."
"Oh." Gu Zhizhi raised his eyebrows. A few students said that they wanted to leave, but Gu Zhizhi told them to leave first. Instead, he stayed at the school gate and stared at Gu Xizhou. After a moment, he said, "Thank you for yesterday. Otherwise, my head would have been broken and bleeding!"
"You're welcome," Gu Xizhou said after a moment of silence.
Gu Zhizhi looked up and asked. "Uncle, my name is Gu Xizhou. What's your name?"
"Fang Ran," Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice. He used the fake name that he had told Teacher Guan and the others.
"Fang Ran, Uncle Fang," Gu Zhizhi looked at Gu Xizhou seriously and called out.
At that moment, a girl ran over and shouted with her hands on her hips, "Gu Xizhou, it's lunch break. Why aren't you back in class? The teacher is coming! "
"Tong Jia, you're so annoying!" Gu Zhizhi complained to the girl with a single ponytail, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there!"
Gu Xizhou's gaze couldn't help but fall on Tong Jia.
"Uncle, goodbye!" Gu Zhizhi couldn't help but bid Gu Xizhou farewell before leaving with Tong Jia.
Gu Xizhou looked at Tong Jia and Gu Zhizhi's backs as they left. His heart couldn't help but sink. Such an obedient little girl would jump off a building and commit suicide when she got home today.
Gu Xizhou rubbed his forehead and left the school. Now that Gu Zhizhi didn't scare Tong Jia with the caterpillar, perhaps the mission world would change.
Gu Xizhou had been waiting outside the school gate for the students to leave. He stood outside and immediately saw Zhizhi standing behind the metal railing. Gu Zhizhi left with Wang Shu as usual. Gu Xizhou immediately relaxed. He wanted to leave, but his body suddenly couldn't move!
He felt as though his body wasn't under his control. His neck wasn't his either. His head slowly turned and his gaze fell on a girl in the distance. This feeling was similar to when he left this place and opened the door … He was just a bystander in this body!
As expected, Gu Xizhou saw — Tong Jia.
The owner of the body instinctively followed Tong Jia, who was carrying a backpack and had her head lowered.
It was Zhizhi.
Gu Zhizhi was controlling this body!
Gu Xizhou realized that Gu Zhizhi had been following him and hadn't left. His heart skipped a beat. Why didn't he hear the sound of chains?
No, that wasn't important.
Stop! Zhizhi, stop! You'll disappear!
It was as though the other party knew what he was thinking.
A deep voice with a clear tone could be heard, as if it was talking to itself.
"I know."
