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

"I believe you, I believe you, tell me quickly," Zhao Xiaomei said.

"…………………………………………………………"

"Huh? You already have a girlfriend, why would I be pursuing you?" Zhao Xiaomei's voice was a little louder, then she turned around and looked at the tall, slender girl on the parallel bars, and whispered to Xiao Yao, "Is it her?"

“I guess so,” Xiao Yao said.

Zhao Xiaomei had obviously already seen how tightly the two of them were stuck together.

She turned around again and timidly waved to Yu Luying.

Yu Luying was taken aback, and subconsciously returned the greeting.

"Then, you continue," Zhao Xiaomei turned to the boy and urged him again.

"…… ...

"Huh?" Zhao Xiaomei said, "Why didn't you just reject me directly?"

"Didn't I reject you?" Xiao Yao retorted. "Besides, you know I have a girlfriend."

“But your attitude is ambiguous, which easily gives others false hope, and then they won’t give up and will keep hanging on to you.” Zhao Xiaomei’s tone was particularly serious.

"Damn it," Xiao Yao said, disgruntled, "I was being polite to you, and now it's my fault?"

“It’s your fault,” Zhao Xiaomei said seriously. “You’re being very cruel.”

“Listen, listen,” Yu Luying’s voice came from the parallel bars: “A warm-hearted man with central air conditioning.”

Why did Yu Luying also learn future vocabulary from Shen Tianyun? Xiao Yao wondered.

“I’m so sorry,” Zhao Xiaomei said to Yu Luying again, “I really don’t know how I could do such a thing… That, that feeling isn’t me.”

Yu Luying shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.

Chapter 361 Cai Xukun and Shen Jie

2023-10-26

*This chapter is also known as "Two Zhao Xiaomeis"

Gradually, Yu Luying also joined the chat.

The topics of conversation among the teenagers gradually became more relaxed.

Yu Luying did not lower her guard, nor did she believe Zhao Xiaomei's nonsense about amnesia. She just subtly probed her, trying to find out some loopholes.

She hasn't made any progress yet.

After the boys and girls finished running laps, Teacher Gong sent the sports committee member to the sports equipment room to get basketballs, and a heated battle ensued on the playground.

Compared to the superficial enthusiasm for football, basketball seems to be a more fitting description of China's national sport.

After all, even in a place like Shanghai, apart from a handful of stadiums like the Beijing Hongqiao Football Stadium, you can't find many proper football fields.

However, on the other hand, the Chinese national football team's victory in the Asian Cup this year has sparked a new wave of football enthusiasm, and I've heard that many high schools, including St. Francis High School, are considering forming youth training teams.

That's great news!

Xiao Yao squinted, admiring the figures battling it out under the basketball hoops on the cement playground.

One of the shorter women naturally attracted his attention.

The girl's face was flushed, her cheeks were pink, she was sweating profusely, and a few strands of wet hair clung to her forehead.

Her cumbersome thick glasses had been removed, and the fake bangs that covered them were clipped up, risking revealing her true appearance. Her tight-fitting school uniform shirt hugged her curvaceous body, undulating with her running movements.

The girl was panting heavily, her breathing rapid, and a few drops of sweat clung to the tip of her small nose.

Although she is only 1.56 meters tall, her ball skills are very proficient, enough to gain an advantage in steals and confrontations.

At the very beginning, she dribbled quickly like a nimble little rabbit, breaking through to the opponent's basket and attempting a layup.

However, Zhang Jialong was much taller than her, and he blocked the ball with a single outstretched arm.

"Ouch!" Xu Qingwei exclaimed in dissatisfaction, then quickly regained possession of the ball—this time, she chose to shoot from a long distance.

The ball traced a beautiful parabola and landed steadily in the basket.

"Yes!" The girl jumped up happily in celebration.

Xu Qingwei's basketball skills are indeed excellent, but her physical disadvantage undoubtedly puts her at a disadvantage when under the basket.

During the scramble for the rebound, Ouyang Qianqian pushed her aside, preventing her from gaining a favorable position.

Xu Qingwei could only watch helplessly as the ball was stolen from her by the opponent.

"Go for it, Xu Qingwei!" Zhao Xiaomei shouted after gathering her courage for a long time.

"Go for it, Xu Qingwei!" Yu Luying shouted along.

Then everyone in her class turned to look at her, and Little Apple realized that Xu Qingwei was from the class opposite, and that she had sat in the wrong spot.

"Go for it, Lulu!" Yu Luying added.

"Oh, right, Xiaomei," Xiao Yao suddenly remembered and asked, "Why aren't you in PE class? Why are you sitting with us? Did you sprain your ankle too?"

"No, no," Zhao Xiaomei said shyly, "I... I feel a little unwell."

“Oh,” Xiao Yao said, “Oh—!”

"I'll go buy you guys drinks! What do you want to drink?" Zhao Xiaomei suddenly stood up, patting the grass off her bottom.

“We don’t need it,” Yu Luying said.

"I want a Coke, something delicious and ice-cold," Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying glared at Xiao Yao: "Why are you being so rude?"

After Zhao Xiaomei left, Xiao Yao approached the parallel bars where Yu Luying was sitting: "How was it?"

"What do you mean, how?" Yu Luying asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Do you think she's real or fake?" Xiao Yao pointed to his temple.

“I don’t know,” Yu Luying paused and said, “I don’t know.”

Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Xu Qingwei's running figure again, and couldn't help but wonder what her socks would smell like when she took them off tonight. Then he got a beating from Yu Luying.

Zhao Xiaomei brought back many bottles of drinks. She bought Coca-Cola with ice crystals for Xiao Yao and Yu Luying, while she drank room temperature mineral water herself. In addition, she also bought salt soda for the "basketball players" in her class.

The basketball "game" had come to a temporary end, and Zhao Xiaomei carried the large plastic bag of salted soda towards the center of the playground.

"Ah, thanks."

"Thank you, Meimei."

"Zhao Xiaomei? Hmm... Ah, thank you, I don't need it. I have water."

When Zhao Xiaomei handed the salted soda to Xu Qingwei, the latter was startled, looked wary, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Zhao Xiaomei: "?"

Xu Qingwei turned to look at Xiao Yao and Yu Luying before reaching out to take the soda: "Thank you."

School ends early on Friday; it was only a little past 3 p.m. when everyone dispersed.

Shen Jie was going to participate in her street dance club's activities. Xiao Yao and Yu Luying discussed it and realized that they would have to wait a long time, so they decided to go to Sacred Heart Church to find Yu Bo first.

However, Xiao Yao was worried about Shen Jie's safety, so he hooked his arm around Daiyu's neck and pulled him aside.

"What's wrong, Brother Yao from the underworld?" said Daiyu.

“Your sister-in-law is going to a club activity, and I have to go out with Yu Luying,” Xiao Yao said in a low voice. “If you’re not in a hurry to get home, could you keep an eye on her for me?”

“Brother,” said the ribbonfish, “I know your sister-in-law is very popular at school—you need to have confidence in yourself and in your sister-in-law.”

“Bullshit,” Xiao Yao said, “that’s not what I meant. I meant security.”

"What danger could there be at school?" Ribbonfish said dismissively, "Doesn't she know karate?"

Xiao Yao mouthed the word "shadow".

"Huh?" Ribbonfish was completely unconvinced.

“Yu Luying and I are going to talk to Brother Bo about this,” Xiao Yao glanced around and lowered his voice further, “After school yesterday…”

I briefly explained what had happened to the ribbonfish.

"It seems like you're the only person I can trust at school who's capable and knows about Shadow," Xiao Yao said.

“Ah, how could... how could such a thing happen?” Ribbonfish nodded seriously. “Oh, right, what about Zhao Xiaomei? I saw her in PE class today—I was terrified when I saw her.”

“Aren’t we also going to ask Brother Bo?” Xiao Yao said.

"Brother Yao's decision to entrust his wife and children to me deeply moved me, but there's no water at the school, and my Theseus fighting power is limited... Besides..."

“Combat effectiveness isn’t that important,” Xiao Yao said. “If anything goes wrong, just call me or Yu Luying. We’re right across from the church.”

"That's alright..." the ribbonfish said somewhat reluctantly, "It's just... it's just..."

Xiao Yao was slightly annoyed by the ribbonfish's evasiveness: "What is it?"

"I also have a club activity later," said the ribbonfish hesitantly.

That's it? That's it? Your B-club activities are more important than your sister-in-law's safety? Do you have any conscience? Your conscience is gone, isn't it?
