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

He stood with his back against the bathroom door, and heard Gao Sijun say from outside, "Well, Lao Xiao, I have to go now. If you have any questions, call me or Zhang Huan, or Dr. Yang's number is in the course schedule contact list."

“Okay!” Xiao Yao said loudly.

Gao Sijun left, slamming the door shut behind him.

Shen Jie was not in the bathroom.

No wonder she couldn't hear her own loud coughing.

Xiao Yao secretly regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have done nothing and let Gao Sijun go into the bathroom. That would have been the best solution.

But is he willing to take the gamble?

He can't gamble.

Xiao Yao looked at the bathroom sink and the mirror above it, and gasped in horror.

He saw a pair of smooth calves protrude from the mirror and fall into the sink.

Judging from the short socks worn on the feet below the calves, these are undoubtedly Shen Jie's jade-like legs.

The bathroom floor was inexplicably covered in a large puddle of water, whether from a leak or something else. As a result, the soles of my feet, which were held upright facing me, were slightly damp and stained, both the fiberglass part at the arch and the cotton parts at the toes and heels.

Haha, you've been eating too much lately, you've gotten so fat, you could practically stick in the mirror.

It's a good thing we didn't let Gao Sijun in, otherwise he would have had a heart attack.

Xiao Yao reached out and tickled the glass threads on the soles of Shen Jie's feet.

She remained motionless.

?

Xiao Yao tickled the girl's soles even harder, but she remained motionless like a wooden doll.

The temperature transmitted through my fingertips was even a little cold.

Xiao Yao was horrified and grabbed her legs, dragging her away.

Fortunately, there was no obstruction during the process, and it wasn't just half a body that came out.

Shen Jiexiu's eyes were tightly closed and her jaw was clenched; she had clearly lost consciousness.

Xiao Yao laid her flat on the table in front of the mirror and reached out to check her breath.

Hmm... it's breathing.

Holy Mary, for us sinners, we pray to God, and to Amen, who waits for us in death…

Xiao Yao, overwhelmed by tension and panic, calmed down. He hummed classical Chinese texts in Shanghai dialect while forcefully pinching Shen Jie's philtrum.

Chapter 297 Ending Line

2023-08-15

*This chapter is also known as "I'm Her Boyfriend's Wife!"

Shen Jie slowly woke up, still groggy for a moment. After a short while, her pupils focused properly, and she recognized Xiao Yao, whose face was full of anxiety.

The latter was searching for the large bag in her thick hair, but found nothing.

"Ah, you're awake," Xiao Yao said with some surprise. "You don't seem to have any external injuries—how did you faint?"

Shen Jie sat up, scratching her head and thinking for a long time: "I can't remember—where is the person who knocked on the door?"

“I sent him away,” Xiao Yao told Shen Jie.

"Then I have to leave quickly too," Shen Jie said, helping Xiao Yao to her feet with difficulty. "Hey, where are my shoes?"

"Hey, where are your shoes?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Oh! I remember now!" Shen Jie said, "The shoes were thrown into the mirror."

This incident triggered the girl's gradual return of her memory. It turned out that after she entered the bathroom with her shoes, she casually stuffed the shoes into the mirror before crawling inside.

"What's in the mirror? Do you remember?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

“I didn’t see anything,” Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao: "?"

"Yes, all I see is darkness."

According to Shen Jie's description and recollection, the other side of the mirror was a void of darkness—an endless darkness where nothing could be touched, not even the ground; she was floating.

“Before I was fully inside, I felt dizzy and my consciousness became blurred,” Shen Jie told Xiao Yao. “I quickly tried to back out of the mirror, but my front half had no ground support, so I couldn’t exert any strength. I could only desperately try to hook my feet forward, and then I didn’t know anything else.”

Xiao Yao felt a wave of fear wash over him: "Go and have Dr. Yang examine you, the one from the logistics team."

"No, thank you," Shen Jie shook her head and said, "How am I supposed to explain this to them? Oh right, why don't you call Brother Bo—no, I'll call him, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it clearly."

“That’s what I think too,” Xiao Yao nodded.

Shen Jie felt a wave of frustration. On her first day at summer camp, she lost a bra and a pair of pantyhose, and today she even lost her shoes—she didn't dare to go back inside to look for them, day after day. Besides, how could she go out without shoes?

She didn't want to end up like Yu Luying before, running barefoot outside.

Fortunately, there were extra disposable slippers in the room, which solved the immediate problem.

At this moment, Lucia was sitting at the table in the dining room, holding a blue-covered copy of "The Lesson of the Virgin Mary" in his hand, his lips moving silently.

The Lesser Daily Prayer of Our Lady is recited in seven times each day: the Third Prayer, the Evening Prayer, the Night Prayer, the Hymn, the Morning Prayer, the Morning Prayer, the Noon Prayer, and the Third Prayer. At this moment, it is time to recite the Noon Prayer, which Lucia usually recites after meals.

Just like her mother.

By this time, most people had finished their meals and left, leaving the dining hall sparsely populated with few students remaining.

Those still remaining in the dining hall generally fell into four categories: those who arrived late for dinner, those who weren't full, those who were distracted while eating, and those who didn't leave after finishing their meal. Lu Jia finished reciting the scriptures but still hadn't seen Xu Qingwei return, so she prepared to go back to her room for a midday rest.

Did this little girl fall into the toilet?

This person has always been eccentric in every way.

However, it's best not to pry too much into other people's lives, especially if they don't want to.

Lucia emptied the trash from his plate, picked up the stack of empty plates in front of him, and was about to stand up.

Of course, hotel staff will collect the plates, but Lucia prefers to take them to a recycling center or similar place herself.

Just then, she heard the girls around her talking.

"Wow, that girl is so pretty."

Are you referring to a person, or clothes?

Yes, they are.

Lucia glanced in the direction the voices came from. The people chatting were a chubby girl and a thin-faced girl, and their eyes were fixed on a pretty girl wearing an apricot-colored top... that kind of Japanese-style school uniform?

Lucia recognized her as Father Yu's niece or something similar.

Father Yu also had another niece, who was both beautiful and devout, and with whom he had a good relationship—he wasn't very familiar with this one, but Lucia instinctively disliked people who liked to wear this kind of "strange clothes".

It gives people a very "pretentious" feeling.

That's secondary; the main thing is her boyfriend.

He already has a girlfriend, yet he keeps pestering Xu Qingwei. How can she just stand by and do nothing?

I can't understand it, I can't understand it at all.

Of course, Xu Qingwei might not be telling the truth; at the very least, she was hiding many things from him.

The diamond ring on Xu Qingwei's left ring finger—maybe it's just glass. Is it really just something she wears for fun, as she says?

If that's the case, it would be a bit too unethical.

She's only 17. Surely she wasn't forced into this engagement by her family? Lucia made wild guesses.

She could tell that Xu Qingwei had something on her mind, and she wanted to help her, but she couldn't force her.

"I should mind my own business," Lucia told herself.

"She has a huge appetite," the chubby girl said.

"Is there anyone who eats more than you?" the thin-faced girl asked.

"Get lost!" the chubby girl said. "Didn't you notice? This is her fourth plate already. She's eaten at least three pounds of meat."

Actually, it wasn't three pounds, but at noon today, Yu Luying did eat twice as much as usual to make up for the amount Xiao Yao didn't eat.

“How could that be?” the thin-faced girl said. “Look how thin she is, she’s even thinner than me.”

“So it’s really strange,” the chubby girl said. “I want to ask her for the secret to eating so much without gaining weight.”

"It's no use asking for advice. There's no secret to it. It's just a matter of individual constitution. You can only be envious." The skinny girl said, "But it's no wonder she got diarrhea from eating like that—didn't she run out of class this morning clutching her stomach, with her boyfriend?"

"Oh, I didn't notice," the chubby girl said, "You have to go to the toilet with your boyfriend?"

The two girls exchanged a glance and then let out a giggling laugh.

Lucia frowned unhappily.

"Hey, you know what? I've heard that there's another type of person who can suddenly have a huge increase in their appetite."

"Has tuberculosis?"
