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

Chapter 221 Still hoping I'll be frivolous and shameless

2023-06-03

*This chapter is also known as "Crossing the Line"

"Big bunny, if I change, will you really stop liking me?" Yu Luying said pitifully, "Do you like the real Yu Luying, or the Yu Luying you imagine in your heart?"

Normally, Xiao Yao might have been taken aback, then earnestly engaged the literature-loving girl in philosophical debate, but now…

Please.

Xiao Yao forced his alcohol-numbed brain to activate: "It's because I like you as a person."

"Me... what's so great about someone as awful as me?" Yu Luying said, still dazed.

“I don’t know,” Xiao Yao said. “Even if you’re willing to smoke to serve your country, I’ll still want you, but at least wait until you’re an adult, since it’s bad for your health.”

"Hehe (#^.^#), that's more like it..."

Yu Luying pressed her head against Xiao Yao's neck, swaying it left and right, then left again and right: "I don't want to! One bite is enough..."

"Hmm." Xiao Yao felt his head sinking deeper into the pillow.

“What if I get my hair permed?” Yu Luying asked.

“I don’t think curly hair suits your style, but if you insist on getting it permed, then go ahead and get it permed. My grandma’s old friend also gets her hair permed,” Xiao Yao said.

“What if I get a tattoo?” Yu Luying asked.

Xiao Yao suddenly recalled the historical account in Genesis of God's destruction of the wicked city of Sodom. According to the account, Abraham pleaded with God, asking if Sodom could be spared if there were still fifty righteous men in the city, and God agreed. Then Abraham asked for forty-five, forty, thirty-five, thirty, and so on, until he finally bargained down to ten. Then God left—Xiao Yao guessed that God had foreseen that Abraham would next ask about "five," so He simply made way for them.

At this moment, Yu Luying was also gradually increasing the water temperature, testing her limits. Xiao Yao believed that he couldn't indulge her.

So he deliberately lifted the blanket and pointed to the bedroom door.

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying finally opened her eyes for the first time.

"I'll call the security guard at the Party School and have him open the gate for you. Go back to the hotel now, and take a bus back to Shanghai when it's light."

"Oh, no tattoo, no tattoo. They were just teasing you." Yu Luying pouted and glared.

"I was just teasing you." Xiao Yao chuckled and helped her wrap the blanket up again.

"..."

"What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"Well, sort of."

“Oh my…” Xiao Yao said.

“I’m not talking about the joke you just made with me,” Yu Luying said. “It’s about the time you snatched my cigarette in the square and said you were going to call my mom to complain.”

“Oh my… wasn’t that just a joke?” Xiao Yao said.

“No, you were really angry at the time—and so was I,” Yu Luying said.

"..." Xiao Yao didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“You know what? The way you looked holding your phone and saying you were going to call my mom, you looked just like Teacher Song,” Yu Luying said.

"Oh dear..." Xiao Yao exclaimed for the third time, "Are you stupid? How could I really hit you? The last person I'd tell is your mother. Oh, if I called your mother and told her you were smoking, she'd blame me."

Xiao Yao spoke in a shrill voice, mimicking Yu Lihua's tone: "Xiao Yao, what kind of scoundrels have you befriended! Huh? Why did you lead my perfectly healthy, grown daughter astray after I entrusted her to you? Huh?"

Yu Luying giggled and nudged Xiao Yao with her knee: "Don't you dare speak ill of my mother. My mother would never talk like that—you have to learn to respect her."

"Respect and blessings," Xiao Yao said.

"Think about it, when I was in Shanghai, my mom controlled everything I did. She controlled me from childhood to adulthood. I finally got to go out and wanted to secretly rebel for once, but then you started controlling me again—not only did you control me, but you controlled me like my mom did, and you even said you would tell my mom. Do you think I wouldn't be angry?"

"I'm angry," Xiao Yao said.

She was really drunk, and she kept repeating the same things over and over, Xiao Yao thought.

"You broke my things! I hate it when people break my things. My mom does the same thing, she smashes and tears things all the time—hey, where are you going?"

“I’ll go buy you cigarettes,” Xiao Yao said. “You like menthol cigarettes, right? You won’t be allowed to sleep until you finish this pack tonight.”

"Stop being so silly," Yu Luying said reproachfully.

……

Just as Xiao Yao was about to fall asleep, Yu Luying shook him again.

"What is it..." Xiao Yao was getting a little impatient.

"Do you think I could adapt to life in the US if I went there?" Yu Luying asked.

"You're willing to go to the United States!?" Xiao Yao suddenly perked up.

"but……"

"But what?"

Yu Luying has disappeared again without a trace.

"It's so great to have both of you," Xiao Yao said with emotion. "I really am the luckiest man in the world."

“…Xiao Yao,” Yu Luying called softly.

"Ah."

"...How about you break up with Shen Jie?"

"????"

"Then we'll get married."

"..."

Xiao Yao didn't speak, but deliberately made soft snoring sounds from his nose.

Gradually, the snoring became less like a pretense and more like a natural sound.

Xiao Yao thought he was asleep, but he could hear his own snoring.

“I hate it… I hate snoring,” Yu Luying said.

"Xiao Yao, actually I'm not drunk at all."

“ZZZZzzzz…”

"I want more."

Xiao Yao felt his body sinking down, pressing the pillow completely indented, but it continued to sink, sinking deeper and deeper, until it sank into the bed.

He was plunged into darkness, surrounded by nothing but silence and black nothingness.

If you look up, you can see a beam of light shining in from a small opening.

The exit is shaped like a pillow.

Xiao Yao's body fell like a feather, falling, falling, falling.

……

……

……

I don't know how long I slept in the darkness.

Xiao Yao had a dream.

In his dream, he and Yu Luying were doing things that defied normal social norms on the large round bed in the center of a love hotel room.

This love hotel isn't the one Shen Jie stayed at in Zhouzhuang, but the one in Teacher Yao's Hall.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying are doing something ridiculous.

At that moment, he saw another Xiao Yao walk in with Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao tried to step forward and pull back the bed curtains, but Shen Jie grabbed him.

Then, Xiao Yao saw Xiao Yao bring over a chair and smash it heavily against the mirror in the room.

With a deafening roar, the mirror shattered into pieces.

Xiao Yao was also jolted awake by the loud crash of the shattering mirror.

The boy suddenly opened his eyes.

……

……

...? ? ?

The scene before him was so absurd that Xiao Yao began to doubt whether he was still dreaming, only waking up from another dream.

and many more.

Since it's a dream, why hold yourself back?

Since it's a dream, I can totally...

He abandoned his hiding place, turned over, and embraced the girl.
