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

“I wanted to come,” Xiao Yao said.

Save your breath.

Shen Jie then suggested the bowling alley, the catwalk exhibition, and the art exhibition. These three places should be within a reasonable distance, but unfortunately, Shen Jie could bowl at home, and Xiao Yao seemed uninterested in the catwalk exhibition and the art exhibition.

"The Shanghai Zoo is in Changning, the Shanghai World Expo is in Huangfu..." Xiao Yao muttered, then half-jokingly said, "Why don't we go to the War Park instead?"

"What's so interesting about a park?" Shen Jie said dismissively. "But it's fine, you want to do everything exactly twice, right? As long as you don't get tired of it, I don't mind."

"War Park isn't your average park. It has giant tigers, giant yaks, giant monkeys, and giant rabbits. After seeing the animals, we can go boating!"

"I don't want to!" Shen Jie suddenly became fixated on one thing: "I don't want to be the shadow of Silly Girl!"

"Uh……"

……

"Sigh, if all else fails, it'll just be the three of us going on a date." Xiao Yao said reluctantly at the end.

"Hmm." A slight feeling of grievance and resentment welled up in Shen Jie's heart.

Does this mean that for the rest of my life, no, for the first half of my life before I turn 30, I can't travel normally with my male partner like everyone else?

No, don't talk about half a lifetime. Once I regain my freedom, I'll still find a way to keep my silly sister alive.

For Yu Luying, two conflicting emotions were constantly intertwined in Shen Jie's heart, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.

What Shen Jie didn't know was that Xiao Yao wasn't actually that opposed to dating the three of them together. The reason he preferred to date separately was mainly because when the three of them were together, the two girls would always chatter and be very close, which would leave him feeling neglected and like he was the one carrying the luggage.

Furthermore, aside from the three of them holding hands (which he was quite happy about), he would be very hesitant and uncomfortable if he wanted to be intimate with anyone (regardless of who it was with).

However, Xiao Yao knew that there was no need to say these words now, otherwise it would only diminish Shen Jie's feelings about "wanting to have some alone time with you".

"By the way, I really have something important to tell you." Just as Shen Jie's ears started to burn and she was about to hang up, Xiao Yao spoke up again hesitantly.

“I could tell you had something on your mind,” Shen Jie said reproachfully. “If you have something to say, why don’t you just say it directly? Why do you have to keep going around in circles?”

“What do you mean by beating around the bush?” Xiao Yao said with dissatisfaction, “Every word I say to you is not a waste of time.”

"Yes, you're asking about my underwear and socks to save the world. Stop talking nonsense, what's the matter?" Shen Jie said impatiently.

"My grandma called me from the sea or some island today," Xiao Yao said.

"And then?" Shen Jie asked.

“Then she said the school was going to expel me and asked me what happened,” Xiao Yao said.

"? What year was that?" Shen Jie was taken aback.

"Do you remember the night we stayed at the boat house? I received several international calls from unknown numbers; those were from my grandmother."

"..."

“Then I told my grandma that I had solved the problem and that she didn’t need to worry,” Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, please say hello to Grandma for me," Shen Jie said.

"Yeah, I didn't ask."

"...?" Shen Jie was losing her patience: "So what?"

"So my grandma told me to call my dad, saying that he couldn't get through to me no matter how many times he tried. So I hung up on my grandma and called my dad. Then my dad told me that the water pipes in our hometown had burst, and the neighbors were telling him to go back quickly, but he was in Nanyue. So I have to go back to Sujiang tomorrow." Xiao Yao finished speaking in one breath.

"That's it?" That was Shen Jie's reaction.

“That’s it,” Xiao Yao said.

"Then go ahead and do it. Do you need to submit an application report to me for this?" Shen Jie asked curiously.

"I'll try my best to get back before you get out of prison, and I'll be back as soon as possible," Xiao Yao assured him, "so that you don't get out and I end up back in."

"So that's what you're worried about," Shen Jie chuckled. "A couple of days later is fine, what's the big deal? Relax."

"Hmph, you really don't love me," the other person said.

Listen to this! Is this something a man should say?

Wait, Su Jiang.

"Su Jiang?!" Shen Jie belatedly exclaimed, "What about that silly girl?"

"So you finally realized it?" The other person was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Anyway, Yu Lihua's first reaction was to vehemently object, but later she said she would come back with us tomorrow."

"..."

"But then something came up at school that she absolutely couldn't get out of,"

"What could possibly happen during the summer vacation?" Shen Jie said.

“I don’t know either,” Xiao Yao said. “I want to know too, but I have to go tomorrow anyway.”

"Would Teacher Yu agree?" Shen Jie asked suspiciously. "Even if your whole building is flooded, Teacher Yu probably still wouldn't let you go, right?"

"Why were you just saying that I went to someone else's house for dinner again tonight?" Xiao Yao explained, "We went to a meeting to discuss this issue."

"You two had another fight, didn't you?" Shen Jie switched the receiver to the other ear.

"We didn't argue," Xiao Yao said.

It was merely Comrade Yu Lihua's own emotional outburst.

This was the first time Xiao Yao had seen this "familiar" side of Yu Lihua since she began to portray herself as a "loving mother."

Incredibly, she eventually gave in.

"She actually compromised in the end?" Shen Jie repeated the sentence in surprise.

"Well, that's roughly the situation." Xiao Yao said honestly, "But if one leader approves this, don't I have to get another higher-up to approve it? I didn't act first and ask for permission later."

"You won't go if I don't approve?" Shen Jie retorted. "Isn't this something I can't help? You two go—be careful on the road."

"Are you... angry?" Xiao Yao asked cautiously.

"No," Shen Jie blurted out without thinking.

"Really?" Xiao Yao was still a little uneasy.

"You haven't done anything wrong, why would I be angry with you?" Shen Jie asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Whether it's my fault or not, if I make you unhappy, then it's my fault," Xiao Yao said ingratiatingly.

"Where did you learn this from—?" Shen Jie sighed. "Fine, I am a little angry, but not at you."

"I know."

“Dog,” Shen Jie said.

"Wang."

“I’m really getting angry about this symbiosis,” Shen Jie said.

"I know."

“You told me a few days ago that it would be great if you and I were the ones living in symbiosis,” Shen Jie said.

“I did say that,” Xiao Yao said.

“At the time, I didn’t feel much, but today, I suddenly felt,” Shen Jie paused, “that maybe, indeed, this is not bad.”

"Wife..." Xiao Yao paused for a moment before calling out.

"Alright, go wash up and go to bed. I'm not upset," Shen Jie coaxed him. "When I'm really angry with you, I'll immediately lose my temper."

"Ok."

"And I know you definitely know what you're doing," Shen Jie hinted.

“Of course,” Xiao Yao said.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jie rubbed her burning ears and suddenly collapsed onto the bed.

She felt that she was starting to really hate symbiosis.

Everything else is fine, but this distance restriction is simply outrageous.

Even the most legendary couples throughout history and across the world have never had such a close relationship.

In fact, Shen Jie now has no doubt that these two people will "live and die together".

In terms of its direct impact on daily life, this has also directly rewritten the life trajectories of two people, no, and many more related people.

If I had not had the foresight to "grant" Yu Luying "legitimacy" in advance, how would I have reacted to this situation, with what mindset and attitude?

"Breakups" often don't require one party to be at fault first, Shen Jie thought.

--split line--

Xiao Yao put down the phone, rubbed his burning ears, opened the wardrobe door, and headed towards 2034.

Going to Suzhou for business takes at least two days, and at most three days; a round trip in one day is not very realistic.

In that case, I should definitely inform my family.

"Knock, knock, knock." Xiao Yao carefully knocked three times on the inside of the wardrobe door on the 34th floor.

Shen Tianyun neither said "Please come in" nor cursed.

But the other side wasn't entirely silent either.
