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

"I don't care, I'll be bored to death if I don't join clubs," Shen Jie said. "Anyway, I'm wearing my first-year high school uniform."

“Okay,” Xiao Yao replied, “which club did you join?”

"Skateboarding club and street dance club."

"Our school has these two clubs?" Xiao Yao fell into deep thought.

It's baseless.

He remembered Shen Jie mentioning that she could skateboard, and he also knew that Shen Jie could dance, but street dance?

It's not a matter of whether it's low-class or not; aren't they all men? And they're all thuggish men at that.

"How about we give up on street dance?" Xiao Yao suggested, "Why don't you join our history club?"

As he was engrossed in his phone, his sixth sense told him that an unfriendly gaze was fixed on him—for a little while now.

Xiao Yao raised his head, looked into Wang Ming's eyes, and calmly uttered those three words: "What are you looking at?"

He was in a bad mood today and was waiting for Wang Ming to reply with "What are you looking at?" so he could go up and beat him up. But the guy lowered his head cowardly and said, "Brother Xiao, I was wrong. Brother Xiao, I wasn't looking at you."

"Tch, what a loser, he's even lost his balls," Xiao Yao thought.

Forget it, I should restrain my anger. After all, I'm the protagonist of the Lawful Good faction, not some random cannon fodder villain who stirs up trouble everywhere.

At this moment, Wang Yang looked up again and said, "Brother Xiao, your wife is doing her cleaning duty and you're not helping her? You're just sitting there playing on your phone?"

Just as Xiao Yao was about to say to Wang Yang, "What does this have to do with you?", he heard the remaining seven or eight people in the classroom making scattered cheers and applause in unison.

It was difficult to tell whether the intention was good or bad.

Xiao Yao once heard a saying that the best way to eliminate rumors and gossip is to make an official announcement and confirm it, so that others will find it meaningless and stop gossiping.

In other words, as long as I'm not embarrassed, the one who's embarrassed is... and no one else will be embarrassed.

The world is full of love, and everyone is happy.

Xiao Yao stood up, strode onto the podium, and reached out to snatch the chalk eraser from Yu Luying's hand.

Yu Luying waved her hand dramatically across the blackboard mirror, preventing Xiao Yao from getting the eraser.

Xiao Yao reached out his left hand to hook her waist, and placed his right hand directly on the back of the girl's hand.

He heard "Oh~~~~~~~~~~" coming from below the podium behind him, accompanied by scattered applause.

Yu Luying blushed and became furious. She turned away from Xiao Yao's hands, letting him hold the blackboard eraser, and returned to her seat amidst cheers and calls of "sister-in-law," burying her head in packing her schoolbag.

Xiao Yao held his breath to avoid inhaling too much dust. Fortunately, he had been taking exams all day, so there wasn't much on the blackboard. He hopped around and quickly wiped it all away.

Just as I was clapping my hands up and down, I caught a glimpse of Yu Luying carrying her own schoolbag, head down, and quickly walking out of the classroom through the front door.

Xiao Yao was very displeased—what was wrong with this girl? She just left whenever she wanted; had she made it a habit? She did this at noon, and now she's back again in the evening?

Could it be that he's determined to take me down with him?

With her wandering around so recklessly, Xiao Yao felt like a dog with a leash around its neck, constantly being pulled around and having to keep an eye on her every move.

Xiao Yao glanced at the backpack on his seat and realized he didn't have time to go down and get it, so he had to chase after it first.

Unbeknownst to him, his phone vibrated slightly twice under the table.

Mommy Cat: "Come to the school gate quickly! Come help me!"

Mommy Meow: "Jiu Min! The triangular pavilion under the bridge!"

Immediately afterwards, the phone emitted a loud, continuous vibration from inside the table, indicating that a call had come in.

Chapter 352 I'm not doing this job as a concubine's maid anymore.

2023-10-16

Xiao Yao stood at the entrance of the women's restroom, proud and imposing, trying his best to ignore the few strange looks from the few passersby.

In the end, I quietly went into the men's restroom next door.

"This is a good idea. We should have done this a long time ago," Xiao Yao thought, looking at the mirror in the men's restroom.

The men's and women's restrooms are separated by a wall. As long as you don't do anything reckless or extreme, you shouldn't be able to break the toilet.

Xiao Yao saw Yu Luying pass by the entrance to the men's restroom in the mirror.

The boy didn't move, but took a deep breath.

After seven or eight seconds, the girl came back and reappeared in the mirror.

Through the mirror, Xiao Yao saw the tall, thin girl draw a "?" in the air.

Xiao Yao slowly turned on the tap, rinsed his left hand, then rinsed his right hand. After turning off the water, he stood there shaking his hands for a while before slowly walking out of the men's restroom.

"What's wrong, Salad lost its card?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying calmly.

"Let you experience what it's like to stand outside a female restroom waiting for someone," Xiao Yao thought.

He deliberately stood 2 meters away, based on practical experience, because this distance makes it difficult for his inner thoughts to be overheard.

“It’s nothing,” Yu Luying replied, “I have an orchestra rehearsal today, could you come with me?”

“Oh,” Xiao Yao said, “Okay.”

The girl turned around and walked ahead. Xiao Yao took three steps at a time to catch up with her and walked alongside her.

"After the club activities are over," Xiao Yao suggested, "come home with me and we'll have dinner with Grandma and my sister, okay?"

Yu Luying continued walking, her lips tightly closed, neither saying yes nor no.

Xiao Yao sighed, reached out to take the girl's hand, and tried to comfort her.

Yu Luying broke free and put her hands in her pockets, saying, "Xiao Yao, please have some self-respect."

“?” Xiao Yao told Yu Luying, “There’s no one here.”

“It has nothing to do with whether there are people around or not,” Yu Luying told Xiao Yao. “We have already broken up. Please maintain a civilized social distance, Xiao Yao.”

"Civilized social distancing? More than five meters?" Xiao Yao joked, "No, how could this happen after a breakup?"

Yu Luying bowed slightly: "My lord, please forgive me. This is the order from the First Madam."

Xiao Yao laughed: "It's alright, I'll give the First Madam a good talking-to when I get back tonight."

Yu Luying glanced at him and said, "Replying to Master, even without the First Madam's words, I would not do this job as a maidservant."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao was taken aback, then continued to coax him with a grin, "Weren't we doing fine? Why did this happen all of a sudden?"

“You just think you’re fine,” Yu Luying told Xiao Yao, “but I think you’re dirty.”

Xiao Yao took a step closer, observing Yu Luying's half-smiling, half-fake expression, trying to figure out if she was serious or just joking.

He was serious; Yu Luying's voice echoed in his heart.

Let's be friends, she thought.

"Given our current five-meter distance, is there a big difference between being friends and being lovers?" Xiao Yao asked her calmly.

“Since you’re not that different from each other, how about we go back to being friends?” Yu Luying said.

“What will your classmates and teachers think—especially your classmates,” Xiao Yao advised. “Oh, it’s only been two days since school started, exactly two days, and we’ve been so publicly inseparable—at least that’s what people see, right? It’s practically an official announcement, and then we break up two days later. Wouldn’t that make us a laughingstock?”

Yu Luying hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

“Hey, and,” Xiao Yao slapped his left palm with the back of his right hand, “we still go to the bathroom together every day after breaking up. Doesn’t that become a campus ghost story?”

Yu Luying bit her lower lip: "In front of others, I am still your girlfriend."

"And what kind of nonsense is this...?"

“I’ve been thinking about this all afternoon, and I’ve made up my mind now,” Yu Luying told Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao observed Yu Luying's face and realized that she was serious this time.

He sighed: "So, we're still friends?"

Yu Luying remained silent for three seconds, then took two steps back and stared intently at him.

Xiao Yao was unaware that Yu Luying was feeling a sense of loss at that moment.

She was serious about breaking up with him, but she had expected that Xiao Yao would disagree, be persistent, cling to her, have a big fight with her, try to reason with her, and desperately try to win her back.

But none of this happened.

He accepted his proposal with lightning speed, then asked himself, "So, are we still friends?"

Yu Luying, you're so pretentious, you're so despicable!

The girl gave a rather unpleasant smile: "Whatever you say goes. Do I have a choice?"

"We're still friends, right?" Xiao Yao asked again.

“Yes, that’s great,” Yu Luying said with a smile.

Xiao Yao extended his right hand to Yu Luying, but she did not react.

The boy bent down and reached out to grasp Yu Luying's hand, while she let him shake her up and down with unfocused eyes.

A few seconds later, Yu Luying pulled her hand out of Xiao Yao's and retreated two meters away.

Yu Luying suddenly remembered when Xiao Yao had pursued her so passionately back then.
