Miss, you are my future wife

Shen Jie's original intention was that she would go back to attend the funeral by herself and let Xiao Yao and Yu Luying continue to go to Tangshan Hot Spring. Otherwise, the tickets they bought would be wasted. Secondly, she would feel bad about ruining the mood of the two people. However, Yu Luying did not hesitate. Refused.

The two had a small dispute, and then Yu Luying simply said: "Sister, I like to tell the truth. If I go to a hot spring with him for a private bath, I will definitely be innocent."

"No, who do you think I am?" Xiao Yao said quickly: "I'm not in the mood to go to this hot spring. I will definitely accompany you at this time."

"Why are you accompanying me?" Shen Jie touched the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile, "I can't take you back with me, can I? At this time, I can't give my dad eye drops, can I?"

Xiao Yao was speechless and could only nodded silently.

The three little ones got out of the car, caught a car and drove back home. After returning to the Magic City, they went straight to Shen Jie's grandmother's residence.

Xiao Yao had never been to this place before. Shen Jie's original intention was that Xiao Yao and Yu Luying should not get out of the car and go back directly - but Xiao Yao insisted on paying the fare and took Yu Luying to get off the car with Shen Jie.

The three little ones stood on the curb and watched the taxi drive away.

A gust of cold wind blew by, swirling up the few dead leaves on the roadside, and Xiao Yao couldn't help but shiver.

Things happened so fast and suddenly that Xiao Yao still lacks a sense of reality.

During these days, he had imagined countless times what it would be like for Shen Jie to leave one day.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he subconsciously avoided it.

Possibility.

Just like the attitude of many people when facing death.

Xiao Yao had a strong, unreasonable premonition that Shen Jie would never come back after leaving.

This strong uneasiness prevented him from leaving gracefully or allowing Shen Jie to leave.

But if something like this happened to Shen Jie's family, what could he do? Don't let Shen Jie go? Do you have to go along?

That would be too ignorant.

Not only that, he couldn't even reveal his worries and anxieties to Shen Jie.

That would be too much like a spoiled child.

But now, there is no doubt that what Shen Jie needs is a man's shoulder to lean on, not an insecure child who can only hug his legs and cry.

Therefore, even if Xiao Yao couldn't act like a man, he couldn't let the child out.

Therefore, he just held Shen Jie's hands with both hands without saying a word.

Yu Guanbao stood aside, looking at this and that. For about half a minute, none of the three people spoke.

Then, Xiao Yao reached out and took Shen Jie into his arms.

Although there is no longer a pounding feeling when looking at her, the affection and affection between the couple are still there.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel sad.

Although he said nothing, Shen Jie saw through his mind and captured his anxiety.

"Gouzi, don't worry, I'll be back soon after I finish handling it." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Even if my dad doesn't let me come back to live," Shen Jie thought for a moment, then added a little less confidently: "I will...also...will always be with you."

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "I can rescue you once, and I can rescue you a second time."

"I believe you." Shen Jie's nails pulled tightly on Xiao Yao's back and pecked him on the face.

Shen Jie's clear statement more or less dispelled the anxiety in Xiao Yao's heart.

He pretended to be cool and took the initiative to let go of Shen Jie: "Okay, don't delay, go ahead. Ask our grandma for me..."

Then I thought about it, I couldn't ask anymore: "To your father...oh, forget it."

"Okay." Shen Jie raised her right hand and squeezed Xiao Yao's penis.

……

"Go." Xiao Yao urged.

"Then, I'm really leaving." Shen Jie made a "call" gesture to Xiao Yao, and then waved to Yu Luying: "Silly girl."

Yu Luying hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and gave Shen Jie a brief hug.

Before Shen Jie walked into the lush community, she looked back at Xiao Yao three times.

When he turned back for the last time, the dazzling sunlight hit the girl's face, making Xiao Yao unable to see her face clearly.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Xiao Yao could feel her sadness.

The young man's heart was pulled in the air, and it hurt.

The two of them returned home, but Tianyun and grandma were not at home. The two of them stared at the empty bedroom for more than ten seconds.

"If I had known better, I would have better go to the hot spring." Yu Luying walked to Xiao Yao's bed and sat down, tapping the outside of her thigh with her small pink fist.

"Aren't you worried about your innocence?" Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying glanced at him.

"It's better to say goodbye." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "If something happens to Shen Jie, how can I still have fun?"

Yu Luying glanced at him again, and then said, "I'm going back to the room."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards Shen Tianyun's room with her legs up, as confidently as if it was her own room.

"Hey, hey," Xiao Yao stopped her: "Don't leave?"

"What are you doing again?" Yu Luying didn't look back and put one hand on the door handle of the closet.

"Just..." Xiao Yao hesitated: "Let's do our homework together."

The air conditioner in Xiao Yao's grandma's house is not very good at heating. I didn't think of changing it when I had some spare money these days. Now the two little ones are freezing cold and the hand holding the pen is a little frozen. Yu Luying wants to win over Xiao Yao. Tianyun's room was heated, but she saw that he had been using his mobile phone to send and receive messages, and knew that he was keeping in touch with Shen Jie, so he didn't say anything. He just silently added a layer of thick woolen stockings that were not very sexy. .

Since breaking up with Shen Jie, Xiao Yao's contact with her has not been broken, which makes the young man feel relieved. Perhaps he was busy dealing with his mother's funeral, but Shen Hongsheng did not use violence against his daughter for the time being, nor did he restrict her freedom of communication and movement.

For now.

Shen Jie's grandma actually passed away on Friday. For some reason, Shen Hongsheng waited until Saturday morning to notify her.

Shen Jie called Xiao Yao on Sunday night and asked him if he wanted to attend her grandma's memorial service.

At that time, Xiao Yao was sucking Shen Jie's cat. He nodded the cat's head with his finger and said useless nonsense: "You little kitten, your master has gone home now. Do you know that now?" Only I can take care of you..."

At this time, Shen Jie's call came in. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, but Xiao Yao became energetic.

"Hello, wifey," Xiao Yao answered the phone.

"The memorial service will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Shen Jie did not exchange greetings with him, but went straight to the topic. There was a hint of exhaustion in the girl's voice: "Do you - do you want to come? I just have to ask for another leave from the school."

"Come on, come on," Xiao Yao agreed without hesitation: "Your dad won't skin me alive right?"

"I told him," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao concisely: "He agreed."

"Ah," Xiao Yao said, "Have you been persuading him for a long time?"

That's why you came to notify me so late.

"It's not bad." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao certainly understood what it meant to be allowed to attend the memorial service, and he would not miss such an opportunity.

"Don't be too pushy. After all... the school... still takes priority," Shen Jie said hesitantly: "And you have to ask the silly girl's opinion. After all, she also has to ask for leave. Stop making your own decisions. ,besides……"

On Monday, November 2004, 11, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying attended the memorial service of Grandma Shen Jie.

It’s still the same place and street—Longhua.

Back then, uh, that month we came together to say goodbye - no, the scene of saying goodbye to Teacher Song Haijian was still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect to be standing in front of the Naihe Bridge again so soon.

The temperature today is very low. Even the shallow puddles on the road are covered with a layer of ice, which makes a crunching sound when you step on it.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to wear his big winter uniform jacket issued by the school, but in the end he chose a more formal suit and dressed himself up like a dog.

Shen Jie bought this suit for him.

Then, at the gate of Longhua, his suit had been blown through by the morning breeze, so he had to stamp his feet and rub his hands, hug himself with both hands, and then hang down his waist.

Yu Luying was naturally very cold, but she managed to maintain her etiquette and demeanor.

She was also wearing a black formal suit today, without a hat or gloves.

The pantyhose, like her long skirt, were pure black and opaque. This color not only made her calves look more slender, but also made her whole person look elegant and solemn.

Yu Luying didn't look good. In fact, before leaving the house, she lost her temper with Xiao Yao for no reason. The main reason was that she didn't want to ask for leave from the school, didn't want to attend the memorial service, and didn't want to be Xiao Yao's self-propelled briefcase. In short, she was making trouble unreasonably. , after the trouble was over, he apologized to Xiao Yao, dressed up carefully and accompanied him out.

"Are you here?" Shen Jie's message came from Xiao Yao's mobile phone.

"We're here." Xiao Yao replied.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jie heard the name of the venue where the memorial service would be held.

On both sides of the gate of Longhua Funeral Home are two huge flower beds filled with flowers and green plants. It had just rained last night and the ground was still wet. The earthy smell floating in the air felt very strange in this place.

Xiao Yao walked on the asphalt ground while staring at the green pines planted on the green belt.

He liked the tall trees with their strong trunks and elegant branches.

Different from Song Haijian's simple memorial service, the farewell ceremony for Shen's grandmother was held in the central hall. The space inside was large, the light was bright, and the decoration was the most solemn.

There were no priests, priests or monks in sight. The room was vertical and larger than the church of the Sacred Heart. There were at least a few hundred people gathered inside. Most of them were social celebrities, business elites and the upper class, looking well-dressed and well-dressed. People, in groups of two or three, were discussing something.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was glad that he was wearing the most decent outfit. At the same time, he was also happy that the heating in the auditorium was fully turned on.

"Xiao Yao!" Just as Xiao Yao stretched his neck and looked for someone, the familiar and smart voice came from the other end of the hall.

Xiao Yao turned his head, saw the familiar figure, and subconsciously ran a few steps towards her. He was worried that Yu Luying would not be able to keep up, so he stopped again.

At this time, Shen Jie had already rushed to him.

The girl wore a yellow chrysanthemum on her head, all in black, and her left arm wore a large piece of black cloth with a small piece of red cloth embedded in it. Her eyes were red, and she was smiling to herself.

Xiao Yao also smiled at her and stretched out his hand to hug her. But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he felt that the occasion was inappropriate and retracted it.

"Hi." Shen Jie said.

"Hi." Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

What the hell, we haven't seen each other for two days, why are we so awkward?

Then, Shen Jie and Yu Luying greeted each other again, then gave Xiao Yao a piece of red and black cloth with a clip, saying that she had something else to do, and left.

Xiao Yao held this large piece of black cloth inlaid with small pieces of red cloth in his hand, feeling that he was holding the marriage certificate to Shen Jie.

"Do you want me to help you?" Yu Luying stretched her head and asked.

"No, no, I can wear it myself."

After pinning the black cloth to the outside of the sleeves of his suit with paper clips, and seeing that the memorial service would not start for a while, Xiao Yaosui took Yu Luying in a large circle around the edge of the hall.

The air was filled with a faint melody of light music accompanied by the light chorus of male voices, which made Xiao Yao feel very comfortable.

At first, he thought someone was playing the piano, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the piano in the memorial hall, let alone the male choir. Then he realized that it was probably playing a CD.

This melody was somewhat familiar. After listening carefully for seven or eight seconds, Xiao Yao realized that this was "The Sound of Silence".

I heard that this song was played at Kennedy's funeral.

The lyrics are naturally in English, but with Yu Luying's vocabulary and hearing, Xiao Yao can roughly understand the main idea of ​​the lyrics.

“Hello, darkness, my old friend;

I'm here to talk to you again.

Because there is a hallucination creeping up on me;

It left its seeds while I was sleeping.

This illusion,

Take root in my mind,

Haunting me.

Along with the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walk alone,

narrow cobbled streets,

Under the halo of street lights,

I turned up my collar to protect myself from the cold and damp,

A dazzling neon light pierced my eyes,

Cutting through the night sky, touching the sound of silence,

Under the dazzling lights,

I saw thousands of people..."

Under the dazzling lights, Xiao Yao found Shen Jie's name at a very front position in the wreaths and elegiac couplets.

The white elegiac couplet reads, "The pines and cypresses are withering in the wind, and the tears are shed with sorrow." The small characters at the bottom are inscribed with the words "granddaughter/grandson-in-law Shen Jie/Xiao Yao."

Xiao Yao thought, took a breath, and subconsciously took a step forward.

Rubbing eyes.

Knead again.

Then he reached out and rubbed the words "grandson-in-law" and "Xiao Yao".

Was it because Shen Hongsheng didn't look carefully and she sneaked in, or... or...

Impossible. Since this thing can be put into this hall, and it is still in such a front position... it is most likely an acquiescence.

Although this occasion was extremely inappropriate, Xiao Yao couldn't control his inner joy.

The big stone that had been weighing on my heart for months was released so easily. How could it not call out to others?

Xiao Yao looked up and saw the disdainful expression on Yu Luying's face. The corners of his eyes and lips drooped downwards. He quickly put away the smile at the corners of his mouth and reached out to touch Yu Luying to coax her.

As soon as her hand was halfway extended, Yu Luying turned her head and dodged away. Just as Xiao Yao was about to reach out and stroke her again, the girl pointed behind the boy.

Xiao Yao turned around carefully, and then turned around.

Just like in a movie, the crowd in front of them automatically separated into a path, like the Red Sea divided by Moses.

At the end of the Red Sea, it is no surprise that today’s mourner is Shen Hongsheng, holding a cigar and wearing a black suit.

At this moment, he was talking to another man.

This man is half a head taller than Shen Hongsheng, with a well-proportioned figure. He is wearing a navy blue Chinese tunic suit, black trousers, and black leather shoes. He looks about 40 years old, has a calm temperament, and a serious expression, but he still cannot hide the handsomeness between his eyebrows.

Although Xiao Yao had never seen him before, he somehow felt familiar.

Why does it look familiar? Have you really never seen it before? ...Xiao Yao thought.

Shen Jie stood next to Shen Hongsheng, holding her father's arm, while the latter pushed the girl's back and pushed her in front of the man.

She bowed slightly to the man, seemingly reluctantly.

The man smiled, shook his head, waved his hands, said something twice, and walked away.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Hongsheng led Shen Jie towards Xiao Yao.

To be precise, he was walking in the direction of Xiao Yao.

He didn't look at Xiao Yao, as if he didn't recognize him at all, but he shook hands and greeted the guests who came to attend the funeral.

Finally, he walked up to Xiao Yao and looked at him deeply.

Xiao Yao's heart tightened.

"Uncle Wei." Xiao Yao shouted.

The reason why I called him "Uncle Wei" was because I wanted to call him "future father-in-law" like in the movie. On this occasion, in front of so many guests, I finally adopted a conservative call.

Shen Hongsheng had a half-smile expression on his face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yao for a second and a half. He took a strong puff of the cigar and gently spat the mist onto Xiao Yao's face.

Xiao Yao: "..."

Yu Luying: "..."

Shen Jie: "..."

Just when Xiao Yao didn't know how to step down, Shen Hongsheng stretched out his broad palm and patted the mourning cloth on Xiao Yao's left arm.

He didn't use much force, but if it was in a martial arts novel, Xiao Yao must have felt that his palm used internal strength.

"You've gained weight." Shen Hongsheng said.

"What?" Xiao Yao asked in shock.

After Shen Hongsheng said these three words, he didn't speak again. He just smiled and patted the mourning cloth twice more, and took Shen Jie to greet the next person.

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao called her gently.

Shen Jie stuck out her tongue slightly, held her father's arm with one hand, and waved HI with the other hand.

……

After the figures of Shen and his daughter were gone, Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying: "Why didn't you see the person named Luo?"

"How do I know?" Yu Luying said.

"Am I really fat?" Xiao Yao said.

"Don't you count?" Yu Luying looked him up and down and replied in a pretended surprised tone.

"I actually really gained weight." Xiao Yao said.

... After the memorial service officially started, Xiao Yao met Shen Jie again - in fact, he was arranged to stand next to Shen Jie.

Standing in the first row was Shen Hongsheng, and several adults whom Xiao Yao didn't know, presumably Shen Hongsheng's brothers and sisters.

Standing in the second row were Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and some other half-grown children.

"These are all yours..." Xiao Yao and Shen Jie bit their ears.

"You don't need to know my cousins ​​yet." Shen Jie answered him in a low voice.

Why don't you know each other?

"Where is your stepmother?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I'm very happy." Shen Jie said.

"You're happy?... What does pregnancy have to do with this?" Xiao Yao asked inexplicably.

Shen Jie was about to speak but stopped, and finally patted him without saying a word, implying that she told him not to ask.

The little fat man standing to the left of Xiao Yao winked at the young couple - the little fat man seemed to have a bunch of chicken feathers in the breast pocket of his suit - Xiao Yao waved to him, and Shen Jie waved at him. Small and pink fists.

To the left of the little fat man stood a woman who looked like a college student, crying sadly.

As an unrelated passerby, Yu Luying squeezed into the crowd in the middle and back rows, craning her neck to watch the excitement - in order to stand within five meters of Xiao Yao, she still stood a little forward, but fortunately no one cared about her.

The memorial service was held step by step, and there was nothing worth mentioning.

Three bows were made, mournful music was played, and a minute of silence was observed, followed by a eulogy delivered by a thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses - the leader of the old textile factory unit.

When it was Shen Hongsheng's turn to deliver the eulogy as a representative of the family, both Shen Jie and Xiao Pang began to cry. The former clutched the sleeves of Xiao Yao's suit tightly. Xiao Yao listened to the breathless sobs while futilely turning for tissues in his pocket, while trying even more futilely to squeeze out two or three drops of crocodile tears.

But unfortunately, he couldn't even wet his eyes.

Xiao Yao began to try hard to recall all the tragic moments of his sixteen years of life, but in the end he still failed. It was not easy to pick his throat and induce tears in public, so he could only secretly regret why the person he lived with was not Shen Jie.

In this way, I can convey her sadness, Xiao Yao thought.

When the body was finally bid farewell, Xiao Yao kowtowed a few times, followed Shen Hongsheng and others, and sent the deceased to be cremated together with Shen Jie's cousins.

After walking a few steps behind the coffin, Xiao Yao was startled and thought something was wrong. He looked back and saw that Yu Luying had jumped out of the crowd and walked quickly into the ranks of second and third generation family members. She lowered her head and mingled among them, then Secretly he breathed a sigh of relief, and also lowered his head and walked forward quickly, secretly praying in his heart that nothing would go wrong.

"Hey, hey, the family members are seeing you off -" This voice was quickly left behind.

Xiao Yao let Shen Jie hold his arm and lean on him, watching helplessly as the old man's coffin disappeared around the corner of the room behind the iron gate.

Shen Jie was already leaning on him, crying into tears.

On the way back to the memorial hall, the funeral home staff solemnly told everyone not to look back.

I don’t know when this local superstition originated, but it reminded Xiao Yao of a record in "Genesis".

Lot's family came out of Sodom, the city of sin, and the angel told them never to look back.

There is always a disobedient person in such stories. Lot's wife looked back at Sodom in flames and was immediately turned into a pillar of salt.

When he was thinking about this, he saw Shen Jie turning her face with tears on her face and looking back.

Xiao Yao was horrified, stretched out his hands to hold her face, and twisted her back - the technique looked like murder.

Fortunately, nothing happened, Shen Jie did not turn into a pillar of salt, and her neck was not injured.

According to custom, the funeral procession has to cross the brazier and then eat white rice.

Yu Luying pulled Xiao Yao around the brazier without stepping over it, and fast-forwarded directly to the most popular part of the people - eating.

Xiao Yao sat at the children's table - Yu Luying was also at the same table. This table was filled with Shen Jie's cousins. They were very familiar with each other, but Xiao Yao didn't know any of them, so the scene was a bit awkward, but No one said anything.

The food was very good, and the atmosphere during the dinner was relaxed and lively. Xiao Yao enjoyed the meal and drank a lot (orange juice and coconut juice).

He suddenly realized that this table must be expensive, and then thought that he had not paid the money yet, so he said "Oh".

Shen Jie, whose makeup had been stained from crying earlier, had just come back from washing her face: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yao bit her ear and she said, "It's okay, you don't have to."

"Don't I need it?" Xiao Yao said.

As mentioned before, this table is full of third-generation relatives. The eldest has just entered college and the youngest has just entered elementary school. The cousins ​​were all familiar with each other, so they were naturally full of curiosity about the sudden appearance of Xiao Yao and Yu Luying, especially classmate Xiao Yao.

Some people have seen the word "grandson-in-law" on the elegiac couplet, and most people have heard about the "legendary love story" between Xiao Yao and Shen Jie, and they are all excitedly asking about this and that.

Shen Jie whispered to Xiao Yao not to talk nonsense, and she calmly dealt with these gossips, with soldiers coming to stop them and water coming to cover them up.

During the banquet, Xiao Yao had a good conversation with the fat guy who was standing next to him at the memorial service, who was in junior high school. This guy was one of Shen Jie’s cousins, a senior computer expert and a hardcore gamer, and Xiao Yao. Bragging about the computer configuration at home and his collection of genuine arcade machines made Xiao Yao stunned for a while, yearning for it.

When the meal was almost done, Xiao Yao asked his cousin for his QQ number. Halfway through taking the phone number to remember it, Shen Jie suddenly snatched it away.

"What?" Xiao Yao said.

"Do you want Ning Ning's contact information?" Shen Jie said, "I'll send it to you later and that's it."

"Oh, okay." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie sent Xiao Yao and Yu Luying to the downstairs of the restaurant: "I will send you two here, and you have to go up and greet them."

Yu Luying and Shen Jie said goodbye politely, but Xiao Yao seemed hesitant to speak and couldn't move his feet.

"Go back, go back," Shen Jie smiled slightly and reached out to touch Xiao Yao's face: "I'll call you again."

"When will you go home?" Xiao Yao blurted out, asking this question that he knew he would not have an answer to.

Shen Jie remained silent, showing a somewhat helpless expression.

Xiao Yao reached out and took the girl into his arms.

Shen Jie put her hands on Xiao Yao's waist and gently comforted him: "Okay, okay, there are so many people here."

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were walking along the upper street while looking for a "chatou".

Yu Luying was depressed and Xiao Yao felt lost. For a while, neither of them spoke.

"Is it cold?" Then, Xiao Yao said.

"It's okay." Yu Luying stretched out her right hand and touched her left upper arm.

"What should we do about the military training tomorrow?" Xiao Yao asked hesitantly, "Let grandma go ask for sick leave?"

"On my side, I have to ask my mother to take leave, right?" Yu Luying said as she took out her mobile phone: "Although two people fall ill at the same time..."

"Where's Guan Yi?" Xiao Yao said, "No one will gossip about us anymore, right?"

Yu Luying nodded slightly, and just when she was about to call Yu Lihua, Yu Lihua's phone number came first.

"Are you going to die?" Although Yu Luying didn't turn on the speakerphone, Xiao Yao could still hear the babbling on the other side of the receiver: "Teacher Lin said you didn't go to school today!"

"I asked for leave!" Yu Luying said.

"Who asked for your leave? I am the guardian. Why didn't I know?!" Yu Lihua said angrily: "If you two don't go to school, where will you go to play?"

"Shen Jie's grandma passed away and he was going to attend the memorial service," Yu Luying said truthfully, "I had no choice but to accompany him."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Mom?" Yu Luying said, "Oh!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked quickly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lihua also asked quickly.

"It's okay, it's okay," Yu Luying said into the receiver, "I stepped into the pond."

Yu Luying briefly spoke to her mother, hung up the phone, held Xiao Yao's shoulder with one hand, took off her black leather shoes with the other, and poured out the water inside.

It is said to be a "pool", but it is actually just a slightly deeper puddle covered with a thin layer of ice, which is quite confusing.

Yu Luying was too preoccupied with dealing with Yu Lihua and didn't notice. She stepped on him, and the first half of her foot was inserted into the ice water.

She felt a chill spread through her soaked socks to the soles of her feet, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The wet socks fit her slender feet, and the thick black winter stockings were delicate and smooth, perfectly outlining the girl's little feet.

The first half of the sole was wet and looked particularly black, as if it was reflecting natural light. A thin layer of water film covered the soaked socks and looked very beautiful - the water droplets followed the texture of the stockings and gathered on the toes of her socks, falling from the toes and returning to the "pool" again. The embrace of the foot, but the second half of the sole is obviously dry, which is in sharp contrast with the moist part, showing a natural dividing line.

The moisture-absorbed feel of the socks made Yu Luying feel a bit chilly. In fact, the contact with ice water at this temperature made her numb very quickly.

While pouring the water from her leather shoes, the girl pursed her lips and gently wiggled her toes, as if she was feeling the friction between her socks and the water.

Subconsciously, her five jade toes were brought together, but they curled and stretched from time to time - this action accelerated the water droplets falling from the tips of the socks, and also caused the socks at the toes to show several more obvious wrinkles, as if to tempt. who.

Yu Luying knew that the boy beside her was looking at her feet intently. His eyes seemed to be burning with some kind of burning desire, which made her heart beat faster.

Then, Xiao Yao knelt down and pushed Yu Luying's feet into the cold and bitter "pool" again.

The girl instantly became furious.

Even if she clearly knows the other person's XP, talking to herself like this in this freezing and "snowy" place is too disrespectful for girls.

"Hey, it's thirteen o'clock, isn't it?" Yu Luying slapped Xiao Yao's face with a little anger, using only 30% of her strength.

Xiao Yao: "..."

Yu Luying: "..."

The two people stared at each other dumbfounded for a second and a half.

Yu Luying realized immediately that her face didn't hurt at all.

Xiao Yao raised his hand hesitantly and gently "fight back".

"Sure enough..." the young man murmured.

Yu Luying also suddenly understood why he pressed her feet into the ice water just now.

Then, the two men began to hit each other's arms with both hands crazily on the road.

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Xiao Yao gasped, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. Take turns."

After a little testing, the two men recognized this ironclad fact.

The symbiosis, inexplicably, disappeared.

"Are you kidding me?"

--split line--

On the way home, Xiao Yao kept calling Shen Jie frantically, but after a long beep, he heard, "Sorry, the number you dialed is not available at the moment. Please call again later."

Yu Luying was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. She could still feel the ice slag in her leather shoes on her toes before, but later she was so numb that she lost consciousness. When she saw that Xiao Yao didn't even care about anything on the surface, he just beat Shen Jie like a headless fly. While talking on the phone, I felt lonely and angry inside.

She cursed Xiao Yao ten thousand times in her heart, but Xiao Yao couldn't hear her, so it was easy.

When Xiao Yao saw that Shen Jie didn't answer the phone, he simply asked the driver to stop the car and make a U-turn to the restaurant where he was having a meal. Just after passing two traffic lights, Shen Jie finally restored contact - she took the initiative to call back.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? I haven't looked at it for a while, and there are dozens of missed calls!" Shen Jie's tone was fond and reproachful.

"Where are you?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"What can happen to me?" Shen Jie said inexplicably: "I'm still in the hotel, we were just about to leave - oh, here it comes! I won't tell you now. I'll call you when I get back, ah ?”

Xiao Yao swallowed the words "I thought you didn't want me anymore" and blurted out: "The symbiosis is gone!"

"Okay, okay, wait until I get back - what?" Shen Jie asked in shock: "What's missing?"

"Symbiosis!" Xiao Yao said: "Symbiosis is gone!"

"what?!"

--split line--

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying dutifully went to school to report and gather, and got on the bus to "Dongfang Hongzhou" to join the "Xuejun".

The days of military training were miserable and boring, the weather was cold, and there were not many positive experiences to speak of.

Fortunately, the organizer had not fully strengthened their strength, so after closing the team every day, Xiao Yao still had the strength to hold Yu Luying's little hand and walk around while drinking the northwest wind by the lake in Dongfanghongzhou - finally I left a few good memories in "Dongfanghongzhou".

Yu Luying was wearing camouflage trousers, with two white socks exposed at the junction of the trousers and the uppers of green military shoes. Her slightly longer hair was spread at the root of her neck, fluttering messily in the evening breeze. She was wearing a light-colored winter coat outside her camouflage uniform, and her face was expressionless. Xiao Yao was walking on her left side, turning his head to stare at the girl's profile, feeling that it was so beautiful.

What is the point of fashion? As long as a person is good-looking, he will look good in military training uniforms and green cotton coats that are uniform for men and women, Xiao Yao thought.

While thinking this, he couldn't help but move forward to kiss Yu Luying's face, but the latter frowned and avoided it.

"What are you doing..." Xiao Yao said.

"What are you doing!" Yu Luying scolded.

Finally we got a kiss.

But he was severely disliked.

Another strong wind blew across the lake.

"Is it cold?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"It's not cold, it's okay." Yu Luying said, "I'm wearing a coat."

"It's cold during the day?" Xiao Yao seemed to be looking for something to say: "You didn't wear a coat during the day. I watched you crawling around and it made me feel bad."

Yu Luying let out a chuckle from her beautiful nose: "You feel sorry for me? Come on, please."

"Why? What I told is the truth."

"If you feel sorry for me, just press my feet into the ice water," Yu Luying said with a smile: "You feel sorry for me, my feet are frozen into ice in my shoes, and you just keep calling your wife. I, you..."

"No, you, me, I, that's not because..." Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment.

In fact, whether it is Xiao Yao, Yu Luying or Shen Jie, they all know it in their hearts.

If their previous assumptions were not wrong.

The disappearance of Symbiosis meant that his relationship with Shen Jie... at least had a big problem.

If Ouyang Qianqian puts it in words, the red line between two people has become black.

Now, Xiao Yao can only hope that his previous speculation about the principle of symbiosis was wrong.

Of course, Shen Jie was able to capture Xiao Yao's anxiety, so she was particularly enthusiastic about him these days.

In fact, in the first two days of military training, the frequency of Shen Jie's messages and calls was so high that even Xiao Yao felt a little annoyed.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that Shen Jie was contacting him so frequently not just to calm his anxiety.

She was anxious herself.

She was also afraid of losing herself, and she was also afraid of leaving her.

Once he realized this, Xiao Yao's nervousness was relieved to a certain extent - this is easy to understand.

Then, they began to worry whether it would be a natural disaster that separated them.

Or it was another man-made disaster.

"I went back to class today." On the third day of military training, Shen Jie told Xiao Yao on the phone: "That's why there were less news during the day."

"Girls' middle school?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Pretty good, pretty good."

When I said "pretty good", I felt disappointed: "Well, what, your classmates didn't gossip about you, right?"

"No," Shen Jie said, "They are both very personable."

"It's a pity that we borrowed the tuition fee." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie let out two pleasant laughs.

"Hey, Gouzi, let me ask you something..." the girl said mysteriously: "I'm just asking casually, don't take it seriously."

"What's the matter, you ask." Xiao Yao changed the phone to another ear.

"Before, my father..." Shen Jie hesitated, but still asked: "My father said that he called you and said that he would not arrest me, and would put living expenses into my card every month, right? Is this really true?"

"...Yes." Xiao Yao swallowed hard.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shen Jie's tone was quite gentle.

"...I, I thought I was dreaming." Xiao Yao was telling the truth, but as soon as he said this reason, he felt as if he was insulting the other person's intelligence: "...I mean, that phone call. "

"Oh..." Shen Jie's tone obviously sounded dissatisfied.

Maybe, subconsciously, I am afraid that you will go back? Xiao Yao moved his lips twice but made no sound.

"By the way, I also have something." After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yao changed the subject: "I've wanted to ask you for several days, but I haven't asked you yet."

"Yeah." Shen Jie responded calmly.

"Dad, do you accept and recognize me?" Xiao Yao asked this question hesitantly.

"What do you think?" Shen Jie asked.

"How did you do it?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"My father and I have a showdown," Shen Jie replied cheerfully: "Mirror, future, daughter, Tianyun."

"What?" Xiao Yao felt as if his heart had been hit hard by a sledgehammer: "What are you talking about?" (End of Chapter)
