Chapter 14: The Female Thief Patronizes
The woman who was coming towards me was none other than the woman in black?
How did she come out of my neighborhood? Could it be that she lives here too?
As soon as the woman saw me, her face changed. Suddenly, she spread her legs and ran towards the other side.
"Stop!" I suddenly realized something, yelled, and rushed forward.
She had already run across the street, and I was crossing the street, when I felt a gust of wind rushing towards me. I subconsciously stepped back, and a speeding motorcycle had already flown in front of me.
It's so dangerous, if I hadn't been alert, I'm afraid I would have been hit by that car!
But what about the woman in black? She had long since disappeared without a trace.
On the other side, only the gray building remained.
I was still not reconciled, so I walked to the opposite side, which was a hotel.
Could it be that the woman lives in this hotel?
So, I asked an old security guard who was standing at the door of the hotel, playing tai chi, but he said that he had not seen a woman come in, and he said that it was so early, how could anyone go in?
On both sides of the building, there are dense groves, as well as several side roads. I walked over, but I couldn't find any sign of the woman. Perhaps, she has already run along these paths.
Why did this woman in black appear at the door of my community? What is she here for?
Suddenly, a terrible thought flashed through me.
Oh no, does she know that when I went out just now, the door of the house was not closed? Could it be that she had slipped into my room for the watch? Oh no, my watch is in the house, could it have been stolen by her?
As soon as I thought of this, I immediately ran home like a flying horse, and I didn't even have time to catch my breath.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The furnishings at home have not changed at all.
However, there was no watch on the coffee table!
This time, I was stunned!
Didn't I put my watch here yesterday? Why is it gone?
Could it really be that woman who took advantage of the situation and stole my watch?
The door was open and unlocked. The watch sits on the coffee table and can be easily taken away. The woman didn't have to rummage through the boxes and cabinets at the scene to find the watch and take it with ease. Just as she was about to leave my neighborhood, she happened to be bumped into by me coming back.
I was so angry that I slammed my fist on the door.
I'm stupid! Why don't I go out with that watch? It's over, what can I do without the watch?
I sat down on the couch with my mind up and down.
Why did the woman follow me several times? She must have wanted the watch back. But why did she get the watch back? Obviously, not because the watch was like a relic left to her by her mother.
Did she know what the watch did? She also wants to turn her watch back in time?
The thought of this makes my heart half cold.
Both times, I dialed back my watch and went back to the parallel space of the past. It's hard for me to imagine what would happen if the watch was dialed back by someone else. But why did she have to go back in time, and how did she know about this function of this watch?
Another question also arises: if the woman had turned the watch, would it have any effect on the current time and space?
There is a movie called "The Butterfly Effect", which says that because the past has changed, the future has also changed completely.
I've gone back in time and changed some kind of outcome.
In the past, I couldn't catch up with Yuting at all, Yuting married the man named Shiwen, and then, Yuting had a car accident on the wedding day and died. This is a version of the most original history.
However, I have changed the course of history. I caught up with Yuting, and I forced Shiwen to break up with Yuting.
So, did I change the fate of me and Yuting? Did I let a butterfly's wings flap and change the whole world in the future?
Again, what did the woman want to change? Will what she want to change be bigger, deeper, or even more terrifying than what I want to change?
The thought of this makes me nervous.
Still, I don't think I need to think too much about it.
I lost my watch, what else can I do? Perhaps, the days without watches are the most real days, and wearing that thing, I feel like I'm cheating. As long as I feel that the gamble is not going well, I can always reverse it and start over.
yes, isn't life a gamble? If I lose my bet, can I do it again?
I shook my head with a wry smile and suddenly felt a sense of relief, never felt so relaxed.
Perhaps, everything is unknown, this is the best choice for human beings, right?
Fortunately, I've already caught up with Yuting, what more can I ask for? Well, life is so good, what should you do or what you should do.
I looked around the room and saw that the sheets were quite messy.
A messy night, a ridiculous dream.
So, I started to clean up and get up, but just then, something fell out of the sheets.
I picked it up and looked at it, and I screamed.
"Watches, watches!"
The watch, unexpectedly not lost, had been hidden in the sheets, and was lying quietly on the floor at this moment.
I hurriedly put on my watch, but luckily, it wasn't broken.
It turned out that I went to bed with my watch in a daze last night, and it ended up in the sheets. However, I always remember that I still had my watch on the coffee table.
Just as I was rejoicing, suddenly, I noticed something shiny behind the couch.
What is that? I crouched down, only to find that it was a brooch, a woman's brooch!
How did this thing end up here?
I became alert, so I rushed to the closet and checked them one by one.
There was no mess in the drawers of the closet, but I still felt that there were signs of someone turning it over.
I see, the woman has been in this room, she has come in. Even, she turned every place in it, except for the bed.
This brooch was accidentally dropped here by the woman!
I struggled to remember, ah, I remembered.
The woman did have a silver brooch pinned to her chest, yes, this one!
I carefully hid the brooch, which was the evidence I could accuse the woman of the crime later. Hmph, illegally trespassing on a private house and attempting to steal property, for these two crimes, I can let the people of the Public Security Bureau arrest you!
I really felt the urge to call Hao Ming and ask him to arrest this woman.
However, if Hao Ming asks me: What is that woman going to steal from you? How do I answer that?
Wristwatch? No, no, I can't let anyone know about this watch.
Forget it, don't report it, the woman didn't find the watch anyway, let her go.
I laughed, the woman in black might have been killed, I didn't expect that I would actually throw my watch on the bed. Generally speaking, a woman who loves cleanliness, oh, a female thief, does not like to rummage through a man's sheets. If she did dig through the sheets, she might have found the watch.
As long as the watch is still in my hand, what am I afraid of her? If you have the ability, you come over next time, be careful that I will directly press you down on the bed!
Pressed down on the bed? Suddenly, the dream I had last night came back to my mind.
Ning Qiang, what do you think? It's so filthy!
I calmed down, put on my watch, closed the door, and left the house.
In the future, I will always wear this watch on my wrist and never take it off again even when I sleep. I want to see, who dares to steal?
Time flies, another month.
On this day, Yuting told me an unexpected news.
"Ning Qiang, do you really plan to marry me?" She blinked, looked at me, and smiled.
I thought she was joking, I was officially in love with her, and it was only a little more than a month, so I was talking about marriage?
"Yuting, of course I want to marry you." I also laughed, "Didn't we fall in love just for that day?" ”
"Hmm." Yuting nodded, "Then when are you going to get married?" ”
"Well, it seems a little early, right?" I scratched my head, "I'm not 22 yet, I'm only 3 months old until I'm 22." ”
"Three months, that's August?" Yuting looked at me very seriously.
"Hmm." I nodded.
"Then we'll get married at the end of August, you see, how about August 24?"
"What?" I was so shocked that the coffee cup in my hand almost didn't fall to the ground.
What's going on? Why is it this day again? Last time, wasn't Yuting and Shi Wen's wedding on that day?
Besides, this time is too fast, I'm not mentally prepared at all, right?
"But, it's only been long since we've been in love?" I froze, "That's too fast, isn't it?" Also, why did you have to choose that day? ”
"But we've known each other for years." Yuting didn't know what's wrong today, she was just very stubborn, "I'll tell you the truth, my mother still thinks I'm with that surnamed Shi, I didn't tell her." I only told her that I would get married at the end of August, and even the wedding date was set. ”
"But, but, I'm not Shiwen, isn't it, on that day, won't your mother recognize that I'm not the son-in-law they were in the first place?"
"It's useless to recognize it, when we get married that day, raw rice is cooked and cooked, and she can't recognize you as a son-in-law. Actually, my mother didn't approve of me being with Shiwen at the beginning. You are a hundred times stronger than Shi Wen, and she will definitely be satisfied with you. Yuting seemed to have thought of what to say, "August 24th is my mother's birthday, and it is also an auspicious day of the zodiac, and she will be very happy to have a wedding on that day." ”
I don't know what to say anymore.
I looked at Yuting and suddenly felt a little unrecognizable to her.
In my impression, although Yuting is not the kind of introverted and gentle little girl, she is not the type of strong woman. However, she made this decision alone this time, and didn't discuss it with me in advance? Is she here to discuss with me? No, she's just "informing".
"I know, you're going to feel sudden." Yuting crossed her arms over her chest, looked at me, and said unhurriedly, "Actually, I was originally scheduled to marry that guy that day, who knew that he would suddenly propose to break up." My plans were all disrupted by him. Thankfully, there's you. ”
Suddenly, I felt as if something was in my throat, and I couldn't spit it out.
I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, Yuting doesn't seem to love me, she just wants to find someone to marry quickly, that's all. As for whether this person is Shiwen or me, it doesn't matter.
"Yuting, I, do we need to date again? I think, I think it's too early to get married, right? I said seriously.
Yuting was stunned for a moment, but she immediately regained her composure.
"Okay then."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm tired, I want to go back." However, her next words hung my heart in the air.
"Huh? This, this is just out, and you have to go back? I looked at her in amazement.
"I just wanted to tell you about it today, and if you haven't thought about it yet, you can go back and think about it." Unexpectedly, Yuting said in a cold tone, "As for whether you proposed to continue dating, I don't think it's necessary." ”
"What?"
Yuting stood up and walked towards the door.
"Yuting." I also stood up, rushed out, and grabbed her, "You, don't go." Why are you angry? I, I promise you. ”
"Are you sincere?" Yuting turned her head.
Seeing the cold light flashing in her eyes, I hesitated. It was less than a second, but she was aware of it.
"Hmph, you'd better be left alone. Perhaps, we are not suitable at all. If it was Shiwen, he would agree to me without saying a word. ”
This last sentence stung me deeply.
However, Yuting wouldn't give me another chance, she pushed my hand away and strode out of the café door······
