The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

Chapter 124: Deceased Wife (12)

The old man replied, "Those who had an affair with him are no longer suspected and have gone back to their own homes."

"What about Manager Zhang? Is she related to Boss Zhang?"

"No, she is Gong Chang Zhang, and Boss Zhang is Li Zao Zhang, which has the same pronunciation but different characters. Xiao Zhang is very capable. He has been here for a few years, it seems..." The old man rubbed his forehead and thought for a few seconds, "It seems like five years."

Manager Zhang?

Sheh rubbed her forehead and she seemed a little dizzy again.

The fragrant smell of burning lingered around her. She traced the source of the smell and found Lu Xiaohui. She asked the old man, "Do they have any children?"

The old man waved his hand: "I don't know, anyway, I have never seen it."

Shi Jinzhe: "Have you been here for a long time? I see you know a lot, do you know anything else?"

"Oh, I always come here to soak in the hot springs. Peace Hotel is cheap, and it's not a big deal. It's only a few dollars away by bus. It's even cheaper in the summer off-season. I save money. I come here every year. As for other things, I haven't heard of anything else."

"Very good." Shi Jinzhe smiled faintly and straightened the boneless Shehe.

Ever since she heard Xiao Fang say that some people believed in snakes, her whole body went into a softened state, and now she was even standing and leaning limply against people.

"Are you newly married?" The old man thought he was not like other old and conservative people who thought it was immoral to be too intimate in public.

He likes to watch this kind of sweet stuff. Young people should be more passionate.

The pair were so close together that his old face turned red. They looked like they were almost embedded in one another. How could this be anything other than a newlywed couple!

The old man's smile gradually deepened: "Your wife is quite attached to you, and your relationship is so good."

"...She...uh..." No matter how hard I tried to persuade her, she still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Instead, Sheh turned his head to look at the old man, "Wife? Are you talking about me?"

She had heard people call her clingy more than once, but she always heard the word girlfriend.

Shi Jinzhe told her that this was the name used for female partners before they officially became husband and wife.

After marriage, a girlfriend becomes a wife. This was the first time Sheh heard the word "wife".

The old man nodded with great joy. It was obvious that they were newlyweds, so why should he feel embarrassed?

"Then after marriage, the man..."

Shi Jinzhe covered her mouth, gave the old man an awkward smile, and led her away from the crowd.

With such a strong desire for knowledge, he would have to explain a lot to her later, and explaining to her a girlfriend could take a whole day.

We are not in a relationship, why am I the girlfriend?

Can’t we hold hands, hug and sleep together if we’re not girlfriends?

Why would you be called a scumbag if you don't acknowledge that I'm your girlfriend?

And what does it have to do with me if you’re called a scumbag?

Especially the last question, Shi Jinzhe spent half the night giving examples to Shehe, telling her that if she denied it every time, she would be annoyed to death by some people.

He didn't walk too far, and only took Shech to the corner of the corridor, making sure he could still see the quarrel over there.

Lu Xiaohui over there had an attitude of, "This is my solution. If you don't like it, just go out and stay in another hotel."

The relentless argument continued, but fortunately Meng Chengxi was still watching.

Seeing Shi Jinzhe leaving, he turned back and made a questioning gesture with his mouth.

Sheh pulled his hand off his mouth, "After marriage, a girlfriend is called a wife, but what about a boyfriend?"

At this time, Zhezheng and Meng Chengxi shook their heads to indicate that they were fine. They were doing two things at once and blurted out, "Call me husband."

After saying that, he immediately reacted and covered Sheh's mouth again.

She likes to learn everything by herself, so you can't just say it randomly.

The new word Shehe had just learned was still in her mouth when it was blocked back. She felt that she might have been too gentle to Shi Jinzhe in the past two days.

He drifted.

Shi Jinzhe couldn't see her eyes, but his sharp intuition told him that if he didn't take his hand away, Sheh would bite him.

"I'll take my hand off, and don't talk nonsense."

Sheh neither nodded nor shook her head. When the hand on her face was removed, she asked, "Can't I say those two words?"

"No."

"why?"

“I’m afraid of going astray.”

In fact, Shi Jinzhe knew that he had already set foot on this road.

But he couldn't be sure whether this was the suspension bridge effect caused by the last escape game, or the delusion caused by long-term lack of love.

Because of the game and Sheh's special nature, the way they get along with each other has been turned upside down.

If there is some artificial catalyst like this, it would be no different from taking a shortcut.

Even if this kind of thing is obtained in the end, it is still empty. No matter how gorgeous the mirage is, it is fake. A relationship that is not based on reality will eventually break down.

Sheh looked at Shi Jinzhe in silence, and could clearly see his own appearance in his pupils.

He had a pair of sad eyes, and when he stared at people, it seemed as if he had something unfinished to say, making her always want to hear what else he had to say.

But Shi Jinzhe only looked at him without saying anything. Shehhe couldn't understand what his eyes were trying to express, so he had to ask, "Why would you go astray if I said this?"

Shi Jinzhe came back to his senses from his thoughts: "Maybe it's because... once a person goes astray, he can never come back."

Sheh got an answer that was equivalent to saying nothing, and felt that it was a waste of emotion.

She pushed Shi Jinzhe away and went back to the lobby.

Those players were right, they were indeed crazy, she couldn't understand them.

The argument over there was almost over, and Lu Xiaohui agreed to refund all the accommodation fees on the spot. The crazy girl would be solely responsible by the Peace Hotel, her family would be notified of the compensation, and the colleagues who traveled with her would not be able to get a penny of it.

She rubbed her knees, feeling exhausted from the argument: "Zhang Wang, you deal with the refund for them. I'm going back first."

Manager Zhang in the red shirt responded and started processing the refund.

Meng Chengxi and Xiao Fang left the dispersed crowd and walked towards the corridor.

There were too many people coming one after another, so Shi Jinzhe planned to go back to the room first.

Seeing that there were a lot of people crowded in front of the elevator, the four of them took the stairs instead.

The stairwell of the Peace Hotel is very narrow and longer than that of ordinary buildings. When the fire escape is opened, the door is about four meters away from the stairs.

When he reached the junction of the third and fourth floors, Sheh paused. There was that smell again.

She followed the smell and found a small handful of gray powder that had not been cleaned up in the corner.

She had crushed the powder with her fingers before, and Sheh sniffed it between her fingers, and told the others with certainty that this was the smell she had smelled on Manager Zhang and Lu Xiaohui.

"It's incense ash." Xiao Fang is very familiar with this thing, "The kind of incense used for offerings."

Meng Chengxi also found some incense ash in another corner: "Someone burned incense here, Manager Zhang or Lu Xiaohui. Lu Xiaohui is not mobile, so it could be Manager Zhang."

Shi Jinzhe seemed to be thinking about something, and turned his head to look at Shehe, "You said that you feel very comfortable when you smell this smell, right?"
