Chapter 97: Haha
“Hey, Xu Le, it"s time to eat!”
Her sister-in-law shouted from the staircase.
This shout woke Zhou Ze from his trance.
The bedroom was still the same bedroom.
The bed was still the same bed.
The wedding photo on the wall was still the same.
He reached out and rubbed his eyes. Zhou Ze turned around, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked downstairs.
There were three dishes and a soup on the dining table.
One serving of celery fried beef, one serving of Kung Pao Chicken, one serving of cabbage fried vermicelli, and a bowl of vegetable tofu soup.
Doctor Lin was scooping rice from the table, and his sister-in-law was already sitting on the chair impatiently.
“Some people just don"t have a conscience. Their wife is cooking in the kitchen, but they are actually so carefree.”
Her sister-in-law shook her body as she ate.
Zhou Ze also sat down, and Doctor Lin pa.s.sed the chopsticks to Zhou Ze.
“In the future, let"s go home for dinner.”
Doctor Lin suddenly said.
Like a gentle wife telling her husband, everything seemed normal.
“Huh?” Her sister-in-law widened her eyes.
Xu Le was coming back?
And it was personally requested by his sister?
Zhou Ze did not answer.
Unable to contain herself, her sister-in-law kicked Zhou Ze under the table.
You fool, why aren"t you replying?
My sister has already called you back for dinner!
She was willing to let you eat below.
Aren"t you going to take the initiative?
“We"ll see,” Zhou Ze replied half-heartedly.
“Can we move to that neighborhood?”
Doctor Lin spoke again.
That neighborhood, of course, referred to the neighborhood Zhou Ze lived in in his past life.
Obviously, Doctor Lin knew that Zhou Ze was staying at her house and was unhappy with her parents, so she was willing to go to that house with Zhou Ze.
One…
Only the two of them were there.
The chopsticks in Zhou Ze"s hand trembled slightly. He could feel that this woman had not completely overcome the psychological barrier that she had mentioned earlier, but she was trying her best to move forward.
Life was already muddled, so he might as well continue muddled and live a better life.
Many people had an exquisite desire for their lives, but a truly exquisite life did not exist. It was just like how some starlets might have sat in a bar when they were young.
If one looked at it carefully, any perfect object would have its flaws at some point in time.
Grasping the present was the true meaning of life.
At this moment, Zhou Ze hesitated.
There were some questions that he did not ask because Doctor Lin had asked his sister-in-law to call him down and not for her to come up personally. However, it was undeniable that Zhou Ze himself was a little afraid of asking that question.
Once they completely fell out,
Initially, he thought that it was a gift from the heavens to compensate him.
Remove all pretense.
Perhaps it would become unbearable to look at.
Zhou Ze admitted that like most men, he liked beautiful women. However, this time, he was a little afraid.
In his mind, he could not imagine living with Doctor Lin at home and eating at the dining table.
This feeling…
It was like a pet cat being pampered by its master. All your actions, including resistance, would become more like a spoiled child.
“No need.”
Zhou Ze replied.
Then he picked up a mouthful of food and swallowed it with a serious expression.
“Doesn"t it taste good?” Doctor Lin asked.
She saw Zhou Ze in pain when he ate.
“Hey, Xu Le, you"re putting on airs now, Master!”
Youngest aunt could not stand it anymore.
In her eyes, Xu Le was bullying her sister.
Zhou Ze put down his chopsticks and decided not to force himself to eat. He turned to Doctor Lin and said,
“Come with me and tell me something.”
Doctor Lin nodded and put down his chopsticks.
“Hey, what can"t you say in front of me?”
Her sister-in-law cried out in anger. She felt like she had become a big light bulb, but she did not feel like she had become one.
Zhou Ze went upstairs, and Doctor Lin followed.
The two of them stood at the bedroom door on the second floor. Zhou Ze did not push the door open. He did not want to see that wedding photo again. He had a feeling that Xu Le was looking at him.
And Xu Le…
Actually, with himself,
There was no difference.
Everyone was a tool.
One was a high-level tool, while the other was a low-level tool.
There was no need to joke around.
“Go ahead.” Doctor Lin looked at Zhou Ze and lowered his head slightly.
Zhou Ze hesitated for a long time. The words were on his lips, but he did not know how to say them.
Questioning?
Was he seeking confirmation?
Was it a scolding?
Furious curse?
Or could it be a mutual confession?
Actually, at the bottom of it all, it had already been done.
Those who deserved to die were all dead.
He had also entered the body that had been lifted into the air.
The matter was actually coming to an end.
“Let"s end this here.”
Zhou Ze said.
Zhou Ze stared at the woman before him.
It was as if the woman before him would tear off all pretense and press herself against the wall, mocking her for overestimating herself.
You are just my doll.
My favorite toy.
To get you,
I spent so much time and effort
As toys,
You have the right to say that it will end?
Man"s imagination.
It was the most terrifying instinct.
There were too many psychological hints, just like how Zhou Ze had been at w.a.n.g Ke"s house the last time.
What exactly did w.a.n.g Ke eat?
Who knows?
Even if he had clearly a.n.a.lyzed the psychological cue with you, was that an open lie or a cover-up?
It was hard to explain.
Just like the scene before Zhou Ze.
After hearing Zhou Ze"s words,
Doctor Lin only smiled and nodded. Zhou Ze saw that her eyes were slightly red, as if her heart had been broken. She had spent a lot of time adjusting her emotions to ease herself.
At the dinner table just now, she decided to throw away the burden from before and try to get along with Zhou Ze, but he rejected her. Soon after, she heard Zhou Ze"s real breakup.
She had lost her lawful husband, even if her husband was still alive. She had lost the person she liked because the person she liked said that she did not want to continue this relationship.
She was like a small boat floating in the waves.
Listening to her parents, listening to her family, listening to Zhou Ze, and listening to her mentor, she was strong and alive.
Fate had played a trick on her.
Some things had been determined, pursued, and overcome, but in the end, they would still be missed.
“I"ll deliver the divorce agreement tomorrow. Do you agree?” Zhou Ze looked at Doctor Lin.
Like a tourist looking at a tiger in a zoo through a fence.
Complicated emotions.
As long as she did not reveal her true colors,
This complexity would continue in Zhou Ze"s heart.
After all…
It was a society where looks mattered.
She was so pretty.
Right?
When he was slapping Xu Dachuan, his face was full of wrinkles, so he did not feel any pressure at all.
“But you asked Zhou Ze to take something and whip Doctor Lin.”
He really could not bear to do it.
“Sure, let"s get a divorce.” Doctor Lin looked up at Zhou Ze. “You can start your new life.”
You agreed?
Did you really agree?
Did you really agree?
Zhou Ze looked at Doctor Lin.
He was afraid that Doctor Lin would turn on him in the next moment and attack him. He told himself that a toy should have the consciousness of a toy!
However, Doctor Lin"s performance was so natural that even Zhou Ze found it unreal.
She was the director.
At the same time…
An actor too?
“Xu Le is dead,” Zhou Ze said. “Does it have anything to do with you?”
What needed to be asked had to be asked eventually.
Doctor Lin nodded.
In her eyes, fate seemed to be a game to trick the Mermen. It was her obsession that caused this tragedy.
“Actually, all of this is probably my fault. It was my fantasy that caused fate to make such a joke.
You"re right.
It"s time for the joke to end. ”
“Sis, are you crying?”
Her sister-in-law walked up the stairs and saw her sister crying.
“It"s fine, the dust has entered my eyes.”
Doctor Lin did not want his sister to see this. He pushed open the bedroom door and walked into the bedroom. His sister-in-law glared at Zhou Ze before following her sister into the bedroom.
Zhou Ze heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment…
He felt a little relaxed.
It was like a heavy burden had been lifted.
She admitted it.
She agreed that it was over.
Let it end.
Anyway, he could not go back to his previous life. Those who deserved to die were all dead, except for this woman.
But ask yourself,
If he really gave himself a chance to kill her, would he really be able to do it?
Did he kill her just to vent his anger?
He walked into the bathroom.
Zhou Ze raised a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
The chilliness made his mind clearer.
It was over.
It was over.
It was finally over.
When he returned to the bookstore later, he would no longer care about the disturbances caused by the ident.i.ty of this “Xu Le” and prepare to live his life.
As a ghost,
Turn right.
In her previous life, she was able to climb up step by step as a doctor.
In this life,
It was just a change of environment.
But it was the same workplace.
She looked up.
Zhou Ze saw someone standing behind him in the mirror.
It was her sister-in-law.
“You made my sister cry. She cried very sadly.”
“The things here are very complicated, not something a child like you can understand.”
Zhou Ze picked up a towel and wiped his face.
But at this moment…
Zhou Ze was stunned.
She stopped what she was doing.
He saw his sister-in-law in the mirror.
To bend the head to the left to an exaggerated degree was not something a normal person could do.
Her face was pressed tightly against her left shoulder. Her face was tilted ninety degrees, but her body was still standing.
“I know my sister likes you.
I know my sister doesn"t like Xu Le.
“I know that my sister doesn"t want my parents to be sad or ruin this marriage.
To make my sister happy,
Xu Le died.
Let you die before coming back.
It made you Xu Le.
After I did all of this, Sister should have been happy.
You…
He actually made her sad again.
Haha…”
