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

“I want to say,” Yu Luying shouted, “regardless of whether they are the same person or not, they are not married yet, this is a serious crime—are you two really fellow practitioners?”

Shen Jie thought to herself, "Is this the little nun mode she's activated?" But she said, defending Xiao Yao—no, perhaps defending herself—"To him, he may not be married yet, but to her, she is already married to him."

Before Yu Luying could speak, Shen Jie suddenly had a thought and lowered her voice, saying, "Silly girl, are you feeling sorry for Xiao Yao's @#￥%%……&*()￥?"

Xiao Yao heard it anyway and felt embarrassed.

"I don't care about that kind of thing!"

Yu Luying's reaction was a bit strong—she recoiled as if she were frightened by herself, then with tears in her eyes and her face flushed, she huddled up tremblingly.

Such a strong reaction startled Shen Jie, who quickly reached out and hugged Yu Luying in her arms—of course, from the perspective of the bystander Xiao Yao, it actually looked like Shen Jie had buried her head in Yu Luying's arms.

"I'm sorry, okay?" Shen Jie whispered in Yu Luying's ear.

Then, she was pushed away forcefully without any politeness.

Xiao Yao noticed that Shen Jie seemed a little annoyed as well.

Yu Luying blurted out: "What have you done to wrong me? I'm the one who wronged you—haven't you been bothered by the fact that I was too close to him while you were away? When you were drinking and playing games just now, you deliberately said that you had never lost your @#￥%%……&*()￥, wasn't that just to test me? Fine, now I'm quitting, what else are you dissatisfied with? I was with him because of your authorization, now please take it back—I'm done!"

The last time Xiao Yao saw Yu Luying so emotional was probably when he was pestering her after school last semester—the semester before that.

“Yu Luying…” Xiao Yao tugged at her school uniform sleeve, and then, as expected, was flung away.

“Why would I need to test you?” Shen Jie continued, “You’re the one who’s reluctant to give up your innocence.”

"..."

"I just wanted to test how far things had progressed between Daiyu and Yanxiao, but I didn't expect... it's really scary." Shen Jie patted her chest.

She suddenly realized that she was quite good at lying now.

"She and I are indeed the same person, without any change," Shen Jie thought.

Xiao Yao realized that he could no longer be a transparent bystander: "Yu Luying, Shen Jie, you two stop arguing. It's all my fault, so take it out on me!"

"Shut up, it's all your fault!" Shen Jie and Yu Luying said in unison, word for word.

Then, because of this tacit understanding, the two girls looked at each other and burst out laughing, which eased the atmosphere on the field to some extent.

"I'll teach you a lesson later!" Shen Jie said to Xiao Yao, feigning a fierce tone.

"Sister, I've thought about it," Yu Luying said to Shen Jie, her tone softening slightly. "If there's anything you want to know, you can ask me directly. I promise I won't lie or hide anything."

"I won't ask," Shen Jie thought. "If I ask, wouldn't it seem like I care just as much as you do? No, no, no."

"I can't be bothered to ask you," Shen Jie told Yu Luying. "Besides, most things can be guessed from the games at the dinner table just now, right?"

"Drinking and playing games is so much fun! Everyone can be carefree and speak their mind freely." Yu Luying sighed with dreamy eyes, "Hey, how about the three of us continue drinking and playing games? This time there are fewer of us, so we can play Truth or Dare instead!"

"Huh? You haven't had enough fun yet?" Xiao Yao protested with a deliberately bitter face. "Just now, we were playing that stupid game, and someone spilled rice wine all over my face. They were going to carry me out sideways. Besides, we've finished all the food and wine, so what's the point of playing anymore?"

Xiao Yao had a plan in mind. It was so easy for Yu Luying to stop bringing up the breakup and stop arguing with Shen Jie. He figured he might as well let today pass by peacefully. If they played truth or dare again or pried into each other's privacy, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.

“We want to play,” Shen Jie said, sitting back down on the sofa in the living room. “You have no right to refuse!”

"Did you just learn some husband-taming techniques from your Yan Xiao?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Just like that, Xiao Yao, who had barely caught his breath, was inexplicably pulled back into the game.

"truth or Dare?"

"Truthfully."

"If you get married in the future, will you leave me a room at home?" Yu Luying asked, launching her attack.

Shen Jie looked confused: "?"

Xiao Yao inwardly groaned, knowing that the visitor was up to no good—the joke he made at Shen Jie's property by the Yellow River that day was actually being brought up for public discussion.

"No." Shen Jie paused for more than ten seconds before answering, "A threesome is a kind of willfulness unique to adolescence, but what does marriage mean? You are an old church member, you should understand it better than me."

Yu Luying nodded, and Xiao Yao was a little surprised to find that there was no disappointment on her face, but rather a feeling of "just what I wanted".

“I’ve recently figured it out,” Shen Jie added, “I won’t accept the kind of marriage where everyone does their own thing, the unspoken rules of marriage.”

Next up is Xiao Yao.

"Truth or Dare?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The truth," Shen Jie answered without hesitation.

"Choose dare or dare," Xiao Yao pleaded.

"Well, you just said you didn't want to play, and now you're coming up with some weird ideas?" Shen Jie raised an eyebrow.

But considering our relationship, and with Silly Girl right there, I doubt you'd dare to be too presumptuous.

"Alright, dare it is then," Shen Jie said, feigning helplessness.

“I want to see you in your St. Francis Xavier school uniform,” Xiao Yao said.

"Where am I supposed to get you a school uniform?" Shen Jie said irritably.

Xiao Yao glanced at Yu Luying with feigned drunkenness.

“I object,” Yu Luying argued. “First of all, this is Shen Jie’s big risk, not mine.”

Xiao Yao clasped his hands together and said, "It's just a favor. I'm not asking you to take any risks. Just go to your room, change in the closet or under the covers, and I won't see you."

Yu Luying reluctantly went into the bedroom to change her clothes. A little while later, her pink and white school uniform top and trousers were thrown out through the crack in the door.

"Oh, you, you." Shen Jie said as she gracefully began to change her clothes in front of Xiao Yao.

At this moment, you might be thinking, with the situation on the field so tense, how can you, Xiao Yao, still have the mind to do such trivial things?

In fact, Xiao Yao had his own calculations in mind.

He believes the current conflict stems from one person's jealousy of the other's advantage of being close to them and taking the lead in the celebration; the other is worried about what the other did without their knowledge while they were offline.

Ultimately, it's just jealousy between girls.

As the male lead, I must promptly play the role of a competent troublemaker—no, a mediator—even if it means making jokes and being funny, to prevent their conflict from escalating, to delay things, to prevent them from raising further provocative questions, and to get them back on their feet as soon as possible.

Shen Jie looked stunning in the St. Francis Xavier school uniform—even though the clothes were a bit too big—her pure and innocent charm was brought out so vividly that Xiao Yao was mesmerized.

Even Yu Luying peeked her head out from the crack in the door, praising it.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field had become more harmonious again, Xiao Yao was secretly pleased with himself. He asked Shen Jie for her phone and took many photos of her.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Jie and Yu Luying changed their clothes and the latter returned to the living room, the first "truth" Shen Jie asked Yu Luying was, "You even hide inside to change clothes. Could it be that he really hasn't seen you?"

Yu Luying thought for a moment and told Shen Jie "no," but Shen Jie still remembered this action of "thinking for a moment."

The game continued for several rounds without major incident. Everyone asked each other some trivial questions. Xiao Yao crawled under the coffee table and barked three times like a dog. Shen Jie performed a backflip. Yu Luying went into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and wet her right trouser leg and sock.

Just when Xiao Yao thought the crisis was nearing its end, Yu Luying asked Shen Jie this question:

"If Xiao Yao chooses me in the future, will you choose to gracefully step down?"

A silence fell over the air.

Xiao Yao was sobered up by the shock.

A fleeting look of fury crossed Shen Jie's face, vanishing in an instant, replaced by a half-smile.

Yu Luying stared directly at Shen Jie with a stubborn look in her eyes.

"Um, well..." Xiao Yao began.

“I refuse to answer,” Shen Jie said calmly. “Try a dare instead.”

“Okay,” Yu Luying blurted out without hesitation, “Then the dare is that you and Xiao Yao… show it to me.”

Shen Jie got angry: "Stop messing around, this isn't how you play Truth or Dare! Why don't you let me jump off the building?"

Xiao Yao quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yu Luying, you've had too much to drink. Let's call it a day."

Yu Luying shook off Xiao Yao's hand again: "This isn't the first time you've done this, why would you jump off a building?"

"How can it not be the first time?" Shen Jie said angrily.

"So you're not going to say that you and she are the same continuous entity? Since you believe that she shares the same memories and body as you, then you're no longer a virgin. Stop with the double standards! Besides, every time you two are up to something, as long as it's not in your precious daughter's room, I'm an empathetic participant. Except for not being able to see, I'm no different from the three of us—what's wrong with letting me take a look?" Yu Luying said, her tongue slurred.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie exchanged a silent glance, neither of them speaking.

Yu Luying seemed to realize what she had just said, and subconsciously shrank back and fell silent.

"Will doing this bring the three of us back together?" Shen Jie's voice was like a dream.

Yu Luying remained silent.

Shen Jie suddenly stood up, grabbed Yu Luying's arm tightly, and walked into the bedroom: "Then you come too! Let's all three of us do the big one!"

"Shen Jie! How are you!" Xiao Yao jumped up and shouted, raising his arms—he could feel his arm being gripped painfully by Shen Jie.

"What's so great about that? This is your next adventure too," Shen Jie said. "Wash yourself clean."

"Then I choose truth!"

"Why are you taking me with you?!" Yu Luying struggled desperately.

“Silly girl,” Shen Jie said, dragging Yu Luying along like a cat on a rope, “You can’t be hypocritical, you said it yourself. Didn’t you just say that apart from not being able to see, you’re no different from the three of us? If you’re no different, why are you still agonizing over it? Besides, you and Xiao Yao are symbiotic, and he’s with me, which is the same as you being with me. You’re already guilty, and your guilt is the greater one.”

"What absurd logic! Let me go! Let me go!"
