Miss, you are my future wife

Time flies, and the days quickly come to the final exam for the first semester of Yu Luying's sophomore year of high school.

Of course, it is also the final exam of the first semester of the sophomore year of high school for the male protagonist Xiao Yao.

The severe snowstorm at the beginning of the new year has become a thing of the past. Although I am still recovering from the sequelae, I still have to live my life. I still have to go to classes and go to school. Final exams are as inevitable as death and taxes.

Of course Yu Luying is not worried about the exam, but she is inevitably worried about whether Xiao Yao, who has lost her symbiosis with her, will become even more depressed because of her failure in the exam.

He had just encountered changes and blows in his relationship, as well as his family.

In order to deal with the old man's funeral, or should I say, funeral, Xiao Yao often asked for leave and did not come to school. Even at this juncture, Xiao Yao was also asking for leave. Even Yu Luying herself had not seen him for many days.

But today, I finally saw Xiao Yao coming to school.

The electronic ringtone of school dismissal came from the campus radio in the right front of the classroom, interrupting Yu Luying's random thoughts.

Teacher Lin was not in the classroom. Without waiting for the notice from the monitor, all the students stood up, grabbed their schoolbags, rushed out of the classroom, and dispersed like birds and beasts.

Yu Luying slowly packed her schoolbag, and suddenly felt a shadow covering her desk.

The girl raised her head and saw Xiao Yao standing in front of her, holding his schoolbag in his hand with a calm expression.

The boy's hair was washed clean and obviously combed, and his beard was shaved, but not very cleanly, and you could vaguely see a green chin.

Strange, he used to...seem to have a soft beard.

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying said, rolling her eyelids.

The remaining students in the class turned a blind eye to this - since everyone agreed that they and Xiao Yao were an official couple, the actual scandal naturally had no value in being circulated and ridiculed.

Yu Luying feels that Xiao Yao is a little strange now.

What's strange is not his facial features, but his expression...aura?
It may be strange to say this, but in Yu Luying's view, since Xiao Yao reappeared in school, he seemed to have become a different person.

The former... immaturity and fuzzyness seemed to have been swept away, replaced by a... similar to the taciturn, emotionless, and even steady temperament of a young man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.

To put it a bit exaggerated, Yu Luying even doubted whether the soul of Xiao Yao from the future had passed through his body now.

Of course, it's not that Yu Luying hasn't been worried, the child is just depressed.

To be honest, don't be so shocked that you suddenly become stupid, right?
Xiao Yao didn't come to class for more than a week, and Yu Luying was particularly worried about it.

As a result, she ran to Xiao Yao's house after school several times, but General Tie held the door and no one answered.

He also answered Xiao Yao's calls and responded to messages, but he was obviously not as enthusiastic and quick as before, let alone as talkative as before.

Xiao Yao always kept telling Yu Luying in his deep and hoarse voice that he was fine, but had a lot of funeral matters to deal with. He just wanted to be alone and would come to school after a while, and declined the girl's request to meet. .

"You still know how to come to me!" Yu Luying was full of grievances, and she couldn't hold back and said this.

During the day, she deliberately did not go to Xiao Yao to speak proactively, so as not to appear "out of place".

Her voice was neither loud nor soft. Wang Yang, who was packing his schoolbag, looked back and Yu Luying quickly reached out and covered her mouth.

"I'm sorry," Xiao Yao looked guilty, smiled shyly, and picked up the schoolbag in his hand: "Do you want to go together?"

"Let's go!" Yu Luying stood up holding her schoolbag.

When the two of them passed by the Sacred Heart Church, Xiao Yao bought boneless chicken tenders - and before Yu Luying asked for some, he thoughtfully asked for two pairs of bamboo sticks.

The two of them walked side by side like in the past, neither of them speaking.

Yu Luying looked up at the fiery clouds on the horizon and chewed the chicken fillet in her mouth absently. The taste was not different from what she remembered, but she felt different in her heart.

Her feet kicked heavily on the pebbles on the road, and her sneakers made a "clack-clack" sound. From time to time, she secretly glanced at the side face of the boy beside her - the setting sun added a golden outline to this side face. He was a little melancholy and very calm. It was hard to tell what he was thinking at this moment, but Yu Luying couldn't bear to look away.

It's strange. We've known each other for so long, including the fact that we've been dating each other for many months. Why have I never noticed that his profile is so attractive before?

I'm afraid it's because I've been preoccupied a lot lately and have hallucinations.

Yu Luying shook her head and couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao what he was doing these days.

Xiao Yao took the initiative to talk about his whereabouts these days.

Yu Luying listened to Xiao Yao's story and learned that his main task during this period was the burial of the old man.

Xiao Yao originally planned to send his grandma's ashes to the Songjiang Columbarium for storage - just like most of the Catholics in Magic City. However, his relatives firmly opposed it and hoped that his grandma's ashes would be buried in a Suzhou cemetery together with his grandfather. Xiao Yao thought this was a reasonable expectation and agreed, so there were many complicated and trivial matters that needed to be handled by him and Shen Tianyun.

In addition, there are many legal issues that need to be dealt with - inheritance of inheritance, change of property rights of houses, bank account cancellation and asset withdrawal. These are the first time for Xiao Yao Tianyun and his daughter to deal with such issues. Blind to the touch.

Not to mention that there are also covetous relatives who are still unwilling to give in and want a piece of the pie. The resulting disputes are exhausting.

"There is also the matter of discussing with your uncle about creating an identity for Tianyun," Xiao Yao told Yu Luying: "I have to let her continue to go to school."

"My uncle never told me," Yu Luying said in surprise: "I thought you hated going to school, but I didn't expect that you would arrange things you don't like for others?"

"People should do what they should do," Xiao Yao replied: "If you let her idle around outside all day long, she will become a street kid and learn bad things."

"You are quite devoted to your role as a father?" Yu Luying teased casually.

"Haha." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and laughed twice.

"Tian Yun shouldn't be interested, right?" Yu Luying said.

"She follows my interests, which is not good." Xiao Yao said.

The two of them chatted one after another, and suddenly, Xiao Yao stopped.

Yu Luying raised her head suddenly and realized that she had unknowingly gone with Xiao Yao to take her grandma downstairs of his house.

Both of them were a little embarrassed.

"Oh," Xiao Yao stamped his feet and said, "I...shall I take you back?"

Yu Luying said hurriedly: "No, I'll go back by myself."

Even so, the footsteps of the two of them seemed to have taken root, rooted in the ground.

Xiao Yao didn't say, "Come up and sit down." Yu Luying was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say this. The two of them stood in silence downstairs and talked for half a minute. Yu Luying said: "The final exam is coming soon. In the past two days, You haven’t come to my class yet, would you like me to check it out for you..."

"No need," Xiao Yao said subconsciously: "I don't think I'll ask if I passed the exam - okay, you can help me make up for it."

Yu Luying was a little annoyed. After Xiao Yao said this, he walked upstairs, and she had no choice but to follow behind.

This feeling of "reversal" made her feel very uncomfortable.

Originally, after the symbiosis was resolved, especially after Xiao Yao was kicked by Shen Jie for no apparent reason, Yu Luying deliberately wanted to alienate Xiao Yao a little.

She knew Xiao Yao too well - after losing Shen Jie, this guy would inevitably empathize with herself again and use herself to fill the spiritual and emotional holes.

Yu Luying's self-esteem made her reject the role of a jack-in-the-road.

Moreover, she was just a 15-year-old girl, and she had to be the "stepmother" of another 15-year-old girl. This strange feeling also made her indescribably resistant.

That inexplicable future marriage certificate—let’s just assume it was real—it should be real—also troubled her beyond words.

What does Xiao Yao mean by showing him that?
Yu Luying hated this feeling of being "arranged". She was originally with him and was more or less inseparable from the symbiosis. Now that she has finally gotten rid of this curse, will the rope that once bound Shen Jie be tied around her waist again?

Yu Luying said to herself rebelliously: No.

She originally disdained the idea of ​​a "destined partner", and the change in the marriage certificate further demonstrated that the future can be changed.

That marriage certificate only reveals one possibility among thousands, doesn't it?
However, taking a step back, Xiao Yao has not only lost Shen Jie, but also his grandmother, and has a daughter to take care of. If he deliberately alienates him at this time, it would be too cruel.

Therefore, Yu Luying decided to provide appropriate companionship, help and comfort to Xiao Yao when he needed it.

Of course, this has to be passive.

As a result, the girl never expected that during this period, Xiao Yao not only did not come to her or ask for help, but... instead, he seemed to have intentionally alienated her, and even acted perfunctory after she took the initiative to contact him. Attitude.

This made her unable to restrain herself from feeling unhappy.

Even, he became angry from shame.

This is like a daughter of a wealthy family who is dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by her father without authorization. As a result, Chenglong Kuai's son-in-law takes the initiative and refuses to comply and wants to break off the engagement. It is inevitable that she will feel resentment of "Why do you dislike your aunt?" and even take the initiative to want to marry her. Close to him.

With such chaotic thoughts, Yu Luying followed Xiao Yao into the soap room of his house, and the familiar smell hit her face.

It's not a bad smell, but that special lingering smell unique to old houses.

The soap room is clean and tidy, as if it has never been used before - I guess Xiao Yao doesn't know how to cook for himself, which is normal.

Yu Luying saw that the cat food bowl under the gas stove was also clean, not even a grain was left, and the cat litter box was even missing.

Immediately afterwards, she changed into slippers with Xiao Yao and followed Xiao Yao's footsteps into his bedroom.

The girl was suddenly enlightened, but also a little dazed.

The house is so neat and clean, it's like having a hostess.

Yu Luying touched a piece of furniture and looked at her fingers. There was not even a trace of dust on them.

She had been in this room many times, and nine times out of ten it was as messy as a doghouse—she probably complained many times.

The remaining times happened to be when grandma helped him clean up.

Shen Jie's move in did not improve the situation much. This eldest lady has no servants, so she may not be any better than Xiao Yao - two people live in a garbage dump together, but there is no need to dislike the other. .

There was even a nice smell of freshener in the air.

Xiao Yao quickly walked to the window and opened the curtains.

"It's very clean," Yu Luying walked to the sofa and sat down, raising her legs and flipping her slippers on her little white-socked feet: "I didn't expect Tianyun to be quite good at tidying up the house?"

"Ah, yes." Xiao Yao smiled lightly: "Tian Yun is quite diligent."

"Why didn't I notice it at all before..." Yu Luying muttered casually: "Where are the Tianyun people?"

"We went out to play, and she's not fresh enough yet." Xiao Yao shrugged.

"What about the cat?" Yu Luying bent down and looked under the bed.

"The cat..." Xiao Yao hesitated: "Maybe it has returned to nature."

"Ah?" Yu Luying said dissatisfied: "You are too..."

"ε=(ο｀*))) Alas," Xiao Yao walked to the edge of his bed and sat down: "This shabby cat has fur falling out everywhere, biting everywhere, not only scurrying around at night, but also following him every morning. The rooster crows on time, and the cat litter box is no longer needed. It was quite well-behaved when I first came here, but now it poops everywhere..."

Yu Luying still glared angrily at Xiao Yao who was quibbling: "I finally know where all the stray cats outside come from!"

"No," Xiao Yao said, "The main reason is that we were homeless a few days ago and no one could take care of it."

"It's called a dog, but it's not a real dog." Yu Luying crossed her arms and said, "You have prepared enough cat food and water, so why do you need to take care of it? If it doesn't work, give it to me. If you break up, just give it to your girlfriend." The cat lost his revenge..."

"No," Xiao Yao scratched his head. This action made Yu Luying find him familiar: "I sent her a message asking her if she wanted to take the cat back, but she didn't reply to me after waiting for two days."

"No matter, no matter."

"Aren't you going to make up lessons for me?" Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Please help me take a look."

"Don't try to change the subject!" Yu Luying said.

"Oh, yes, are you hungry?" Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something: "I'll cook first. You sit down for a while."

"I'll do it." Yu Luying stood up and said, "I'm not very hungry. I just ate chicken tenders."

"You sit down, you sit down." Xiao Yao held Yu Luying's shoulders with both hands and pressed her down.

"Don't eat dead people..." Yu Luying whispered.

Yu Luying sat on the sofa and sent a message to her mother.

Shen Tianyun also came back at the right time. When she saw Yu Luying was there, her face was not very good, so she went straight into grandma's room.

"Come in and change your shoes. They are full of dirt when you bring them back outside." Xiao Yao took the slippers and followed him. After a while, he came out with Shen Tianyun's green sneakers and put them back on the shoe rack at the door, and then continued to work in the soap room.

Without waiting for too long, the simple four dishes and one soup were served.

The three of them enjoyed dinner around the table.

"The taste is okay." Yu Luying commented objectively.

Resolutely refusing Yu Luying's help, Xiao Yao and Tian Yun cleared the dining table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and the three of them gathered around the dining table to start doing homework. Yu Luying also helped Xiao Yao make up for the homework he had missed this week. Science knowledge.

Listening to the ticking sound of the swinging pendulum of the old wall clock in the room, Yu Luying suddenly felt that this was not bad.

There is an illusion that the years are quiet.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…”

"Ah, it's already ten o'clock!" Yu Luying stood up suddenly: "I have to go back."

"I'll see you off," Xiao Yao pushed away the homework book in front of him and stood up.

"It seems like someone is knocking on the door?" Shen Tianyun sat still, biting a gel pen in her mouth, and raised her ears to listen to what was going on outside.

"Is there any?" Xiao Yao and Yu Luying left the bedroom one after another and opened the door of the soap room.

In the darkness, a petite figure suddenly rushed into the soap room, looked around the empty bowl, sniffed, raised his head and let out a pitiful meow at Xiao Yao.

"Uh..." Xiao Yao said.

"Don't lose it again," Yu Luying warned Xiao Yao, "I'll come over and help take care of it when I have something to do."

"Oh." Xiao Yao smiled and opened the door of the soap room, squatted down and rummaged for cat food: "It's good to be back."

"Meow~" Shen Jie's kitten rolled happily on the floor between the soap flakes. (End of chapter)
