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

“Okay, okay,” Lu Ziya took Xu Qingwei’s hand again. “I just feel that from the first moment I saw you in the car until now, you’ve always been melancholy? Melancholy? How should I describe it?”

Xu Qingwei glanced at Lu Jiya in surprise.

Lucia explained, "I know you've been trying hard to hide it from the outside world, but I can tell."

Xu Qingwei hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

“So, if it’s related to that guy,” Lucia said, “maybe I can help you think of a solution?”

Xu Qingwei shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with him, but it has something to do with myself—mainly with my family."

“I see,” Lucia said. “Convenient…”

"Sorry, it's not convenient." Xu Qingwei shook Lu Jiya's hand: "Don't blame me."

“How could that be? If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. It’s okay.” Lucia smiled and patted Xu Qingwei’s head. “I just wanted to tell you that I’ve had similar troubles before, but God will take care of you. In the Gospels, didn’t the Lord tell a parable…”

"What metaphor?" Xu Qingwei asked Lu Jiya.

"explain,……"

The two girls walked along the coastline, wading through the sand, their steps uneven, further and further away.

……

……

Xiao Yao followed the coastline back to the beach area he had just been on, but the noisy men and women who had been there were nowhere to be seen.

If it weren't for the girl in the long white dress sitting there with her legs bent and knees drawn up, Xiao Yao would have wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

Beside Yu Luying sat a little girl who looked to be in her single digits, sitting there with her legs apart, digging at something with a small shovel, her feet and pantyhose covered in mud and sand.

"You're back after chasing your wife?" Yu Luying looked up at Xiao Yao, smiling as she touched her ankle.

"Where are they?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"Yes." Yu Luying gestured towards the sea ahead.

Xiao Yao looked towards the sea in the direction Yu Luying was pointing, and it took him a while to recognize which one was which among the small heads on the surface of the water.

The ribbonfish launched a wide-range attack on the girls of St. Francis Secondary School with splashing water, and then they were all pushed headfirst into the sea.

“Ribbonfish is really a treasure.” Xiao Yao said as he sat down next to Yu Luying.

"I really don't know what Yan Xiao likes about him?" Yu Luying chimed in.

Xiao Yao didn't continue the discussion. He simply lifted the girl's chin with one hand and lowered his head.

The girl obediently cooperated with him.

Xiao Yao held Yu Luying's chin with one hand, while his other hand was not idle either—he gently touched Yu Luying's calf and even pulled up the girl's skirt a little.

Imagine this scene in your mind. Considering that the two people are only 7cm apart in height, this pose is not particularly easy for Xiao Yao.

When Yu Luying realized that Xiao Yao's hand was moving towards her knee, she bit Xiao Yao's tongue.

"Hmm—" Xiao Yao's eyes widened, and then he saw that Yu Luying was also glaring at him.

Xiao Yao quickly reversed direction and touched the top of the cotton sock, at which point Yu Luying opened her mouth and let go of him.

Then, Xiao Yao yanked off her sneakers.

"What are you doing!" Yu Luying finally couldn't help but push him away: "In broad daylight—and there's a child here!"

Xiao Yao peeked at the child. She had already stood up, walked seven steps away, holding a shovel, and made a face at Xiao Yao.

The boy made a >_O emoji and held up an "8" sign to the child.

Yu Luying muttered a complaint under her breath as she patted the sand off her cotton socks, then untied the shoelace on the other shoe and put her foot back in.

"What's wrong with your wife? You still haven't told me." Yu Luying asked while putting on her shoes.

"It's nothing, just being dramatic," Xiao Yao replied, somewhat annoyed that Yu Luying was deliberately bringing up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.

Yu Luying put on her sneakers, glanced at Xiao Yao, and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Say whatever you want," Xiao Yao said.

"Should we coax her a little when it's time to do it?" Yu Luying said after hesitating for a long time.

“This isn’t just a problem between the two of us, it’s a problem between the three of us,” Xiao Yao told Yu Luying.

"What do you want me to do?" Yu Luying asked Xiao Yao.

“I can’t say,” Xiao Yao said seriously. “If I do, you’ll get angry with me, and I can’t afford the price of both of you going crazy with me right now.”

"Who are you calling crazy—you'd better not say anything." Yu Luying revealed a seemingly amused smile: "You've already changed into your swim trunks, aren't you going to go down and play with them? You can't be a loner."

Xiao Yao said with a bitter face, "You forgot? I can't swim."

“I know where I can rent a swimming ring, come with me.” Yu Luying stood up and patted her buttocks.

Xiao Yao, however, remained seated, not moving an inch.

"What?" Yu Luying asked.

"Why don't you teach me to swim?" Xiao Yao said. "Didn't you tell me last time that I should learn to swim so I could protect you two in the future?"

When did I tell you that?

"I said it while I was soaking in the river."

"Now?" Yu Luying glanced down at her long dress. "I'm wearing clothes."

"Who said that wearing clothes means you have to come down—" Xiao Yao drawled, "I was wearing clothes that day too. You told me to come down, and I came down."

“Eh—” Yu Luying bent her arm and put her right hand on her right shoulder.

"I still remember it vividly. That day, I was sitting perfectly fine in the hotel when someone suddenly went swimming in the river without saying a word, which scared me half to death," Xiao Yao said. "You know what? On my way to find you, my clothes were so wet and tight that I could barely walk—"

“Okay, don’t bother me,” Yu Luying squatted down, hugged Xiao Yao’s arm, and lifted him up forcefully: “I just don’t want you sitting in the hotel all by yourself.”

“I know,” Xiao Yao replied.

"You want to learn to swim, huh? Then learn!" Yu Luying finally picked Xiao Yao up: "If you don't learn today, you're not leaving."

"No way? The sun's already setting?" Xiao Yao said, "We have to close the shop tonight! People will die!"

Chapter 284 The Girls Forced into the Sex Industry?

2023-08-03

*This chapter is also known as "The Girl's Naked Swimming"

*This chapter is also known as "The Unfaithful Husband"

Xiao Yao made Yu Luying go into the sea, of course, not really to learn to swim.

The old man's intentions were not in the wine, and everyone knew what Sima Zhao was up to—Yu Luying was certainly well aware of this, but she still jumped into the sea, and soon made Xiao Yao regret it.

Why would anyone teach their child to swim in a calm swimming pool instead of in a turbulent ocean?

Living water requires several times more energy than stagnant water. Although the waves on the shore weren't too big today, Xiao Yao still swallowed several large mouthfuls of "salt soda," which tasted much worse than the disinfectant in the swimming pool.

Salty, extremely salty, cloyingly salty.

It's also very thick; it's so nauseating that you can't even drink it.

Yu Luying frowned as she trimmed her eyebrows, clearly "feeling the same way," and also thought it didn't taste very good.

"Don't be nervous!" Yu Luying shouted. "Relax! If you're nervous, you won't have enough oxygen, you'll have to breathe frequently, which will cause your movements to become distorted, creating a vicious cycle."

It's hard not to be nervous... especially when you feel the gazes from those around you.

Although Xiao Yao always boasted that he was a shameless hooligan, a 16-year-old boy was not a 36-year-old old fox, and even the thickest skin had its limits.

Even if he suspected that most of those gazes were directed at Yu Luying, it didn't matter.

In fact, Xiao Yao had studied swimming. He could do the breaststroke with very standard form and could hold his breath for more than a minute.

Therefore, in the swimming pool, he can swim headfirst for several tens of seconds, almost from one end of the pool to the other.

The only minor flaw was that he couldn't look up.
