You're my wife, don't doubt it!

"You still care about this little bit of money?" Xiao Yao chuckled. Living with this young lady for so long had even influenced her way of thinking and speaking. "How did you manage to get up and go for a morning run every day?"

"I'm so tired... I'm so tired..."

Shen Jie's voice was trembling with tears, but Xiao Yao only thought that she was being deliberately cute and acting spoiled.

When I first met Shen Jie, I only saw her mature, calm, composed, and unhurried facade. However, since her hospitalization and discharge, she has increasingly shown the "spoiled" and "willful" side of a young girl.

She's cute, but sometimes she can be quite annoying.

Xiao Yao held Shen Jie's hand, sat on the bed for half a minute, and then let go.

The other person simply fell straight backward, or rather, crashed down.

Xiao Yao glanced at his phone screen—it lit up again; someone was calling him again.

The clock on the wall pointed to ten o'clock.

He was a little annoyed and reached for the TV remote.

Are these two buttons used to control the volume of the floor-standing subwoofer?

"Deng deng, deng deng deng deng, hey, hey! Deng deng, deng deng deng deng deng, hey, hey, hey!" The intro to the cheesy tune started, and even Xiao Yao's mood was infected, making him feel happy.

"Hey ya~~~~ The joyful drums beat out the celebrations year after year, and the beautiful dances bring daily jubilation~~~~ The sunshine paints today red~~~~ Our smiles are the flowers of life~~~~~~"

"Hey~~~~~"

"Hey~~~~~" Shen Jie finally sat up and snatched the remote control from Xiao Yao's hand: "Are you mentally ill?!"

When the remote control hit his head, Xiao Yao saw Shen Jie's furious face and realized that she was really angry.

--split line--

Yu Luying lowered her head and pulled her right silk sock over her ankle.

Elastic cuffs fit snugly against the skin without feeling tight.

It was released with a "snap".

Then he put his shoes on, stood up, and stomped his feet lightly a few times.

He picked up his schoolbag and looked at Yu Lihua: "Mom? Let's go."

Yu Lihua also picked up her small leather bag, casually pulled out the room card from the sheath inserted in the wall by the door, and held it in her hand: "That bastard went out?"

“I already told him, it shouldn’t be too long,” Yu Luying said wearily. “Also, can you please stop calling me such a jerk?”

What else could she be but a scoundrel!? — Yu Lihua opened her mouth to speak, but then stopped, her tired eyes filled with heartache and concern for her daughter.

Yu Luying's legs were still a little weak as she walked toward the room door.

Seeing her daughter's slightly awkward gait, Yu Lihua frowned again: "What did he do to you? What did the two of them do?"

“I didn’t do anything,” Yu Luying replied somewhat irritably. “I just told you that I walked too much at the boat shop yesterday and then ate something bad in the evening…”

"What did you eat tonight that made you sick..." Yu Lihua muttered. "I ate dinner with you."

Yu Luying ignored her and simply picked up her backpack and walked ahead.

"How long have they been living together illegally, and nothing has ever happened?" Yu Lihua's voice drifted relentlessly from behind.

“No, Xiao Yao and that girl are both quite… innocent…” It wasn’t easy to find the right words to express it: “They’re just having a clean relationship. She’s staying at his house temporarily because she has no other choice. Xiao Yao sleeps on the floor every day.”

It wasn't that she intended to protect Xiao Yao, but if her mother found out about what happened last night, given her personality, it wouldn't be impossible for her to cause a bloodbath.

"When are you going to tell that guy surnamed Shen about the symbiosis thing?"

"Ugh, you're so annoying—I'll tell you when we get back that you want me and Xiao Yao to find a good opportunity."

Yu Luying's tone made Yu Lihua feel that she was just being perfunctory.

Even now, thinking back on what happened last night is still unbearable.

Guilt, pleasure, and shame were mixed together, making Yu Luying feel like she no longer recognized herself.

Although she has never had physical contact with anyone else, the girl stubbornly believes that her spiritual virginity has been forcibly taken away.

In this sense, Xiao Yao must take responsibility for this.

The girl was startled by her own thought—she had promised him she could do that yesterday…

But I only agreed to him for myself, not for him and Shen Jie.

Yes, although he and Shen Jie are now a couple, they shouldn't have acted like that before they got married, that's right.

Although I have no right to interfere in other people's affairs, it does affect me in a real way.

After what happened last night, Yu Luying didn't even know how to bring up the truth with Shen Jie.

Regardless, the girl began to regret her impulsive "permission" on the bus yesterday morning.

She thought she could handle it, but she actually couldn't.

Humans tend to overestimate their own mental strength.

Yesterday afternoon, when the girl learned what her mother had talked about with Xiao Yao, she was both ashamed and angry, and had a big fight with her.

She, who had never dared to disobey her mother, impulsively uttered the word "crazy" and went back to confess to her uncle that she had violated the fourth commandment (note: honor your parents).

But after just one night, she began to understand, a little bit, her mother's good intentions.

If it weren't for Shen Jie, she might even have gone to Xiao Yao herself to ask for a formal title.

What his mother didn't know was that Xiao Yao already had a future "destined" wife and a lively, energetic daughter.

At the birthday party, I saw that child with my own eyes... I call him a child, but he was just someone my age.

Yu Luying believes she has never been a fatalistic person without ambition, but the problem is that Xiao Yao and Shen Jie both believe in this thing now and have become a couple in fact.

It would be better to kill her than to make her wear the shameful hat of "mistress".

Just thinking about those two words makes me feel nauseous.

Lost in her thoughts, the girl didn't notice the steps in front of her, missed a step, and fell forward.

"Yingying!" Yu Lihua exclaimed in alarm, running over in her high heels.

--split line--

Shen Jie put on her long dress and fastened the top button.

Thanks to the bright sunshine today, the skirt is completely dry.

"I've been waking her up for half an hour, and we've been arguing for half an hour. What's going on?" Xiao Yao muttered to himself as he brought his wife her pantyhose.

"Is it my fault?" Shen Jie was still angry. "Why didn't you tell me earlier that something was wrong at school? What does Song Haijian mean by this?"

"You start yelling as soon as you wake up. Do you even listen to what I'm saying?" Xiao Yao pointed out, "Your morning grumpiness is just too outrageous!"

"You should have made it clear what you wanted when you called me in the first place." Shen Jie held up one index finger and then started rolling up her pantyhose.

"I told you! I've been saying it all along!" Xiao Yao retorted, "You just didn't hear me!"

This is not the truth; Xiao Yao is lying.

“Okay,” Shen Jie lowered her head and said, “Gouzi, I’m sorry. I’ve just been too tired lately…”

Xiao Yao felt a little guilty for winning an apology by making up lies, so he quickly and generously forgave her, and the two reconciled.

“Oh, I don’t want to wear them anymore,” Shen Jie said, putting the rolled-up pantyhose down again. “It’s so hot today, I want to go barefoot—and besides, you got these pantyhose dirty, so I feel a little uncomfortable.”

"Okay, okay, I won't wear it then." Xiao Yao was still thinking about the matter of being honest about coexistence and what was going on at school, so he said casually.

When he said "I don't want to wear them, then I don't want to wear them," it came after "I want to go barefoot," and was said at the same time as her second half of the sentence, "Besides, you've dirtied these socks."

Xiao Yao's face immediately darkened.

The girl immediately realized that her joke hadn't been very clever and had hurt his pride.

"Is low emotional intelligence contagious?" the girl thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile.

"Okay, okay, put them on, put them on." Shen Jie lifted her toes.

"Ah!" Xiao Yao suddenly groaned, twisted his ankle, and fell onto the soft carpet in the room.

"Dog!"

Chapter 128 Shen Jie Understands Everything

2023-03-06

"Yes, I see sunshine everywhere, and happiness floats in the city sky..."

July 2nd, three days after Xiao Yao's birthday.

It was a bright, sunny day, and Xiao Yao felt that the number of tourists at the boat resort was much greater than yesterday, though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

A petite girl was hanging on Xiao Yao's arm, attracting the attention of countless passersby.

The reason she attracted attention was not only because she was exceptionally beautiful, but also because, despite the hot weather, she wore a black beret, a long black dress and stockings, and even a pair of very classic black long-sleeved gloves.

Xiao Yao walks slowly and limps. Shen Jie assumes he has underdeveloped brainstem and sprained his ankle on flat ground, but Xiao Yao thinks it must be Yu Luying who fell.

A person who is 169cm tall but has size 36 feet is bound to fall.

The awkward thing is, you fall down, fine, but how did you manage to scrape my knee? It's both heartbreaking and funny.
