Miss, you are my future wife

When Shen Jie arrived, the snow had already fallen even harder.

In hindsight, this day should be the turning point for this blizzard to transform from a climate phenomenon to a climate disaster.

When looking out from the lobby at the entrance of the hospital building, Xiao Yao took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and walked out without turning over to get an umbrella.

The snow had piled up so thickly that he trudged through the snow one foot deep and the other shallow. An unprecedented sense of loneliness hit him like a blanket of snow.

Xiao Yao thought, it's just because I am a person, just one person, always alone.

This is true from the moment I was born until the moment I die.

The snow on the asphalt road has been cleared many times and is piled high on the shoulder. The gap on both sides makes the road look like a dry river.

Xiao Yao felt sorry for himself in the snow for a while, and then he saw a black shadow slowly appearing at the end of the road - like a boat being pulled upstream by trackers, squirming towards the hospital with the whistle of the wind and snow. Come over.

Xiao Yao was a little nervous, raised his anus and inhaled.

The black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped in front of the young man. When he was still hesitating whether to help pull the door, the door had already opened by itself.

"Baptism, Confirmation and Final Binding are all ready." Yu Bo nodded towards Shen Jie, turned to Xiao Yao and said: "The old man can't eat anymore, so he can't receive the Holy Eucharist. The holy name is Teresa the Great.”

Xiao Yao once again watched the Mercedes-Benz drive away.

He stepped forward and reached out to hug her.

The young man looked at the old man who was taking off his sunglasses and folding them up, and felt his heart stop for half a beat.

"What happened on Christmas night," Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "I've always wanted to tell you, but you didn't answer the phone."

"Little mother!" Tianyun shouted excitedly.

Shen Jie's face was filled with indifference, and she pushed Tian Yun aside with firm strength that seemed gentle but could not be ignored, and asked Xiao Yao: "Is your grandma..."

Shen Hongsheng put the folded sunglasses aside, turned around and kissed Shen Jie on each other's cheeks, waved to Xiao Yao, and raised the car window.

"Father Yu." Shen Jie nodded indifferently. Instead of calling him "Brother Bo", she addressed him like this.

Then, while looking doubtfully at Tianyun, she cast a questioning look at Xiao Yao.

"Little mother?" Tian Yun's tone was a little hurt.

"Are you leaving?" Shen Jie's response was as cold as the snow that hit Xiao Yao's face.

Shen Hongsheng shook his head, and Xiao Liang had no choice but to obey his orders, handed the black umbrella in his hand to Shen Jie, and opened the passenger door.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Bo." Xiao Yao bowed slightly and thanked him politely.

Xiao Yao saw a small girl wearing a pure white down jacket - that thing was a genuine Canada Goose, but Xiao Yao couldn't recognize it. The girl's face is a bit round, which may have something to do with the long black hairstyle with straight bangs - it's actually not very long, but it's much longer than when she just got it cut during the summer vacation.

Shen Hongsheng rolled down the car window again: "Xiaoliang!"

"Uncle." Xiao Yao shouted subconsciously.

Shen Tianyun stood guard outside the door of her grandma's ward, stretching her neck and looking in the direction of the elevator. When she saw Shen Jie's figure, she jumped up and walked quickly towards her.

Before Xiao Yao had time to answer, the door of grandma's ward was forcefully opened inward, and then a tall man wearing a black sutta and leather shoes walked out, followed by his niece Yu Luying.

The boy couldn't help but throb, his pulse was beating wildly and his blood vessels were dilating - both in his upper and lower body.

Shen Jie saw clearly that it was Shen Tianyun, and she was obviously shocked. She was so frightened that her beauty turned pale, and she took three steps back as if she had seen a ghost.

On the way to grandma's ward, no matter how many questions Xiao Yao asked, Shen Jie remained silent.

The driver, who was called Xiaoliang, looked back at Shen Hongsheng and then at Shen Jie, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Xiao Shen." Yu Bo was a little surprised when he saw Shen Jie, but not that surprised.

Seeing that Shen Hongsheng had taken away all the bodyguards, Xiao Yao could no longer restrain his impulse to be reckless.

"Hey," Xiao Yao said, "Hello."

Xiao Yao's hands touched Shen Jie's back, but the latter used her bent left arm to push him away expressionlessly.

A pair of beautiful legs wearing black trousers, dark socks and pointed leather shoes stretched out - wait, that's not Shen Jie, it's the driver she saw that day.

Then, Xiao Yao told Shen Jie what happened as concisely as possible.

"Let's go." After a while, the girl finally spoke to the boy.

Shen Jie straightened up and finally walked towards where Xiao Yao was standing. The driver and bodyguard holding the umbrella followed suit.

While Xiao Yao was thinking about this problem, the window on the other side was also rolled down.

Ah, yes, since the "driver" is sitting next to Shen Jie, who is the driver today?

The girl in the white down jacket was wearing bare-legged artifacts and camel-colored mid-calf boots (but Xiao Yao didn’t understand the meaning of bare-legged artifacts but not artifacts, so he just called them “flesh-colored stockings”), and fingerless plush gloves. Although she was standing Under the driver's umbrella, my hair was quickly covered with snowflakes.

"Public places." Xiao Yao promptly reminded.

"Let's go." Xiao Yao could only take half a step back.

She is still as beautiful as a flower, and as long as the corners of her mouth are raised slightly, two clear dimples will be clearly revealed. Unfortunately, when she saw Xiao Yao, she performed a "smile disappearing technique".

After hearing this, Shen Jie lowered her head and fell into deep thought for a short time. When Tian Yun came up to hug her again, she once again used the same action as she did against Xiao Yao to block it.

Shen Jie stood two meters away from Xiao Yao, holding an umbrella, but had no intention of sharing it with Xiao Yao, who was covered with snowflakes.

Shen Jie opened her mouth to form the word "you", but did not make a sound. She just nodded to Xiao Yao - maybe yes, maybe not, then she lowered her head and walked to the driver's seat and shook her head. The driver lowered his window and spoke.

The driver held a black umbrella in his hand, opened it neatly, glanced at Xiao Yao who looked embarrassed, and then turned to the other door of the car, obviously to open the door for his owner.

"This is what it should be." Yu Bo waved his hand.

"Is grandma still conscious?" Shen Jie interjected and asked.

"It's okay for now," Yu Bo said, "The way I talk is quite refreshing."

Just as Xiao Yao was about to answer, he felt his right arm feel heavy. Shen Jie held her arm with both hands, as if the weight wanted to hang on Xiao Yao's body, just like it did before she returned home.

In an instant, the refreshing body fragrance poured into Xiao Yao's nostrils.

Xiao Yao knew that she was coming.

His wife is back.

For now.
"Shall we go in?" Shen Jie raised her head and asked Xiao Yao's opinion gently.

Miao Jinfang was still asleep or unconscious at noon. She didn't know whether it was the effect of receiving the Sacraments of Initiation and Final Binding, but her eyes were bright now.

Xiao Yao tried his best to avoid thinking about the words "returning to the light".

When the old man saw Shen Jie coming in, his dim and cloudy pupils lit up, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes. His breathing became heavy and rapid under the ventilator mask.

"Grandma, lie down!" Seeing Miao Jinfang struggling to sit up, Shen Jie hurriedly left Xiao Yao behind and stepped forward to support the old man.

The conversation between Shen Jie and Miao Jinfang lasted for a while.

Maybe ten minutes.

Maybe twenty minutes.

Just think of it as fifteen minutes. Anyway, when Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie, it was difficult to pay attention to the passage of time.

Miao Jinfang was in good spirits at the moment, but her voice was still not loud. Shen Jie faced the window, sat on Xiao Yao's left hand side, leaned forward slightly to the left, put her left ear close to her grandma's lips, and then He turned to her and spoke softly.

This cycle continues, keeping the conversation going.

Mainly because grandma said it, Shen Jie listened or responded.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Yao wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about, but he couldn't hear clearly. He could only hear the whispering sound.

Those speaking sounds do not pass through the vocal cords and sound like communication formed by airflow.

Xiao Yao gave up his plan to listen and straightened his spine.

Throughout the conversation, the fingers of his left hand and Shen Jie's right hand were intertwined and held tightly together.

What needs to be pointed out is that it was Shen Jie who took the initiative to lead him.

Xiao Yao could feel that the place where their palms met was covered in sweat, which seemed unusual on this snowy day.

He couldn't tell whether the sweat was his own or Shen Jie's.

It's probably Shen Jie's.

Suddenly, Shen Jie's right hand twitched slightly.

Xiao Yao subconsciously obeyed her and let go of his hand.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Jie took out her hand, she wrapped her arms around Xiao Yao's waist from the back and pulled him towards her.

! ! ?

Before Xiao Yao could react, he leaned against Shen Jie's body. If the genders and body shapes of two people were reversed, it would be called a fragrant and soft embrace. Now... well, it's still a fragrant and soft embrace. . The young man had no intention to pay attention to the fragrance of the girl. He only knew that the other party's delicate hand was raised from bottom to top, stroking his right cheek, and said in an infinitely gentle tone: "Grandma, don't worry, Xiao Yao is a big boy. , he will take care of himself.”

Xiao Yao opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Shen Jie said again: "I will also take good care of her."

The above two sentences were no longer whispers, but had a normal volume, attracting the old lady in the next bed who had been sleeping all day to stretch her head and look here.

Xiao Yao was a little moved and a little sad, at least his nose was sour.

Miao Jinfang said happily: "Jiejie, have you promised me?"

"Yes," Shen Jie nodded and said softly, "Grandma, I promise you."

"Then I'm relieved," Miao Jinfang said with satisfaction: "Bodhisattva-Iesu bless you."

Xiao Yao stood up and helped his grandma lie down slowly. On her face, Xiao Yao saw a satisfied and relieved smile.

"Xiao Yao..."

Just when Xiao Yao was holding Shen Jie's hand and about to walk out of the ward, Miao Jinfang suddenly called him again.

Xiao Yao stopped and turned around, but grandma just leaned over and looked at them for a moment. Without saying anything else, she nodded and signaled them to leave.

The two of them and Tian Yun waited for the elevator on the fifth floor for a while. Shen Jie was impatient and said she wanted to take the stairs. During this period, the two of them kept holding hands. Shen Jie didn't let go, and Xiao Yao naturally had no reason to take the initiative to let go.

When she went down to the third floor, Shen Jie stopped and looked up and down the empty stairwell, then forcefully pulled her hand out of Xiao Yao's palm, and took out a square handkerchief to wipe her palm on the spot. The action made Xiao Yao feel hurt.

This was the first time Xiao Yao saw someone wearing a handkerchief since graduating from kindergarten.

The two people gave each other a puzzled look, and then walked side by side to the first floor.

Outside the hospital door, there was still heavy snow all over the sky, even heavier than when Shen Jie came.

The two stood side by side under the eaves, looking at the snow.

Xiao Yao winked at Tian Yun. Although Tian Yun was reluctant to leave, she still understood and left with the excuse that grandma could not be left alone for a long time, leaving Xiao Yao and Shen Jie alone.

Shen Jie took out a scarf, tied it for herself, and refused Xiao Yao's help. Then she put on her fingerless gloves again and casually stretched out her palms, as if to catch the snowflakes flying in the sky.

"The day it first started snowing," Xiao Yao cleared his throat and broke the silence: "Tian Yun, Y... and I were making a snowman with them. Tian Yun asked her mother what she was doing at this time—— Me, I also want to know what you were doing at that time, and I want to watch the snow with you like you are doing now."

Shen Jie didn't say anything, she just retracted her hands covered with snowflakes, rubbed them together, and then put them in front of Cherry's mouth to breathe.

Xiao Yao wanted to hear Shen Jie's opinion on the fact that the mirror was closed and her daughter was trapped in 2004 and could not come back, but Shen Jie seemed to have something on her mind and did not express any attitude towards it.

The young man was wondering whether he should tell Shen Jie about the change of marriage certificate.

He believes disclosing this fact is risky behavior.

The positive result is that this incident will rekindle Shen Jie's jealousy and possessiveness.

The negative direction is that Shen Jie will feel, "If this is the case, then I bless you, and you don't have to come to me."

Of course there is a possibility that he least wants to see: She doesn't really care about us.
In the end, Xiao Yao decided to be more conservative.

"Well," Xiao Yao cleared his throat again, swallowed some water, turned to Shen Jie, and bowed slightly to her: "Thank you for today."

"Grandma has already said thank you," Shen Jie said for the first time since leaving Miao Jinfang's ward: "There is no need for you to say this anymore."

"I know, I know," Xiao Yao said hurriedly: "But as her grandson, I should also thank you."

"Grandma," after a brief silence, Shen Jie's throat moved under the scarf: "It's possible... okay? What did the doctor say?"

Xiao Yao seemed to have answered the question incorrectly, but in fact he answered very clearly: "Brother Bo said that after grandma received the Sacrament of Initiation and...the Sacrament of Last Life, she will definitely be able to ascend directly to the Kingdom of Heaven."

"That's good," Shen Jie paused for two seconds and then added: "Brother Bo never lies to people."

"Brother Bo never lies to anyone." Xiao Yao nodded firmly, as if trying desperately to convince himself.

Next, there was a short silence between the boy and the girl again.

Shen Jie looked a little anxious. She kept stretching her neck to look around, and from time to time she took out her mobile phone and pressed the hard keyboard on it.

Xiao Yao knew that she was urging her black Mercedes-Benz.

He also knew that there was not much time left for him.

Shen Jie breathed into her palms again and lightly stomped her feet wrapped in snow boots: "Why don't you go up first? It's very cold outside - I mean, I'll stay with you more -"

Xiao Yao interrupted her, as if his heels were frozen to the ground: "Tell me, after grandma arrives in heaven, will she be able to see everything on earth?"

Shen Jie hesitated and said: "Maybe... I don't know that well. You should ask Brother Bo about this kind of thing."

"If she can see it," Xiao Yao reasoned hesitantly: "Then, she -"

As soon as Xiao Yao finished saying "then, her" without even saying anything substantive, Shen Jie showed a vigilant look and took half a step away: "Are you kidnapping me morally?"

"What?" Xiao Yao said.

"I'm here to help out of kindness, to care for grandma," Shen Jie's tone became a little excited, and the knife-like eyes she looked at Xiao Yao made him a little scared: "You want to morally kidnap me?"

"I definitely didn't mean that." Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously.

"You'd better not have one." Shen Jie warned in a serious tone.

"But what is going on between the two of us now?" Xiao Yao blurted out, speaking a little faster: "Am I being dumped? If so -"

"Yes." Shen Jie raised her face, met his gaze, and answered affirmatively.

Xiao Yao's "If yes, then xxxxxx, if no, then yyyyyy" was cut off as soon as it started. He regretted a little and realized that there was something wrong with the direction of his question, but now that the matter was over, he could only follow it. This logic continues.

"If so," Xiao Yao said: "At least give me a reason to break up, don't be so unclear - unclear, and I don't have a gay -"

"Why do you need a reason to break up?" Shen Jie said in a strange tone: "It's not a divorce. Breaking up is just a unilateral decision. No one's consent is needed."

Xiao Yao wanted to say, "How come it's not a divorce?" but he thought it was pointless: "I have to be responsible for you."

This sentence is to remind the other party of a fact that happened before, but it is already 2005. For a girl who is determined to leave, it is also meaningless: "Thank you, I don't need it anymore."

Xiao Yao: "At least give me a reason. Is it so difficult? A real reason. Don't worry, I can bear it."

Shen Jie hesitated a little, lowered her head to think, and drew a circle on the snow with her right foot wearing a snow boot.

"I have the right to know why." Xiao Yao emphasized.

Shen Jie shook off the snow on her toes.

"Please, please make me understand." Xiao Yao said in as sincere a tone as possible: "There is no loss to you."

"Many times, ignorance is not necessarily a bad thing." Shen Jie's voice became softer and her tone became looser, but she still did not look at Xiao Yao.

"It's a bad thing," Xiao Yao said, "It must be."

"sky--"

A double flash of strong light pierced the already slightly dark sky. Shen Jie and Xiao Yao looked together in the direction from which the double flash came, and what they saw was the familiar black Mercedes-Benz.

Shen Jie pursed her lips, lowered her head, opened the huge black parasol, and walked lightly on the snow.

Xiao Yao followed him subconsciously, got under Shen Jie's umbrella without any ceremony, and got very close to her.

Shen Jie didn't look at him, nor did she drive him out from under the umbrella, she just hurried forward.

"What the hell, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yao urged anxiously.

"Goodbye." Shen Jie had already walked to the black Mercedes-Benz. She paused and said, "I will pray for grandma."

The dark car window slowly rolled down, revealing the hateful, smiling face of his former father-in-law Shen Hongsheng.

Xiao Yao opened his mouth - now that the matter was over, he didn't know what else to say.

In other words, there are too many things I want to say, and I don’t know which ones will work.

"Wait." Xiao Yao made a futile attempt to persuade him to stay.

"Also," Shen Jie had already opened the car door, but had not yet sat in: "Can you please stop blocking me at the door of my school, no matter who you are - that will trouble me a lot."

Xiao Yao: "..."

Shen Jie said word by word: "If I change schools again because of you - because of you, you will never have any chance to find me again."

"Yes," Xiao Yao promised and bargained: "I can promise you, but if you add me back, at least you can contact me easily when there are things you need, and you also want Tianyun and I to at least know that you are safe."

Shen Jie did not agree or refuse, she just sat in the back seat of the car with a gloomy look and closed the door.

Shen Hongsheng shrugged at Xiao Yao, spread his hands, then raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together, placed them on the upper right side of his right eyebrow, and then raised them to the upper right side.

Xiao Yao understood that this was the winner's taunt.

The setting sun reflected in the white snow, reflected a lonely face on the car window with the curtains drawn.
