You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Yu Luying? I didn't see her come to school today. I thought she went to tutor you. Xiong Ji? Did he come to school over the weekend?"

"Xiao Yao? Has the symbiosis between Yingying and you changed? ... I have a bad signal on the train, so if you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

"Sorry, Father Yu, I called the wrong number."

After contacting several people, there was no news about Yu Luying and Xiao Xiong. Xiao Yao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and was short of breath.

There was no need to hope for the best; the two of them were undoubtedly still in the mirror.

What is in the mirror? Although Xiao Yao has the ability to enter some mirrors inexplicably, he has always believed that it is just a tunnel connecting to the closed space in the future.

However, what happened today was completely different.

What kind of "ideal" world is this? It's just bullshit.

"Sir, your private room time has expired. Would you like to extend it?" The man with the red bow tie had not left yet.

"No, it won't be extended."

"This way," the man with the red bow tie opened the door for him, "I'll take you out."

"I...I'm going to the bathroom, you go do your thing."

"Okay, are you really okay?" said the red tie.

Xiao Yao turned back to the men's restroom.

At this time, some customers had already visited the "Cashbox". Xiao Yao stood stupidly in front of the urinal for several minutes before finally no one came in.

Xiao Yao zipped up his trousers with one hand, walked quickly to the sink, and reached for the mirror.

Wherever the fingertips touched, it didn't move at all, and there was no way to get through it.

Xiao Yao felt a chill in his heart.

He returned to the corridor and touched the reflective mirrored walls on both sides, but the result was the same.

Is this the price of smashing a window? Xiao Yao pondered.

Just when he was at a loss, the phone rang again. It was Father Yu.

Xiao Yao picked up the phone tremblingly.

"Xiao Yao, is our Yingying with you?" Father Yu's voice was very serious on the other end of the phone.

"No, no, yes."

"I couldn't get through to her on the phone. I asked her sister and she said a classmate had a birthday party this afternoon. I asked the school and they said she didn't go in the morning. You just called me and were hesitant. What's going on?"

"I, I…she might be in trouble."

"Don't squeeze the toothpaste. What's the trouble?" Father Yu raised his voice.

"Something supernatural. Anyway, I can't find her now, and I can't explain it over the phone..."

"I'll be at the Magic City Railway Station at 5pm," Father Yu said, "Where are you?"

"Qiangui KTV, I'll text you the address."

"You took her to a KTV? If something really happens to Yingying, I'll skin you alive!" Father Yu said this viciously and hung up the phone.

You don't have to do it, I'll strip myself first, Xiao Yao thought.

Arrive in Shanghai at 5 o'clock? If Yu Luying doesn't go home tonight, no matter what the outcome is, she will definitely be permanently blocked by her family.

It is not impossible for her mother to move directly to another city. I hope Father Yu can find a way when he comes back.

But what else could he do except beat me? He was just an ordinary clergyman, not a magician, so how could he know how to save people through the mirror?

Xiao Yao, calm down and think about it carefully.

Neither Yu Luying nor the little bear can enter the mirror, so they have to bring themselves in.

In other words, no matter what the reason is, he has mastered some special abilities.

The reason why the mirror that can no longer enter the cash box is probably related to the broken glass.

So, is there anyone else who has the ability to actively pass through the mirror?

The only one who could shuttle back and forth in the mirror as frequently as himself was naturally Shen Tianyun.

But even though Shen Tianyun had returned home, she could not leave the door of 2004.

Wait, wait, wait…

Did Shen Tianyun talk to me before about how her mother looked through a mirror at home and confirmed what she had said after I went to the No. 7 Girls' High School to find her, which was why she came here to "look for her relatives"?

In other words, Shen Jie is likely to have the same abilities as herself, and she can move freely.

Although it is impossible to determine whether the mirror of the cash box is closed to itself or to everyone else...

But as long as there is still 1% hope, he can't just sit there and do nothing.

Three updates today

Chapter 54 Mizuki

2022-12-28

In the summer in Shanghai, the sun seems to be able to melt everything, but Xiao Yao can't feel it now.

He sat by the fountain in the square in front of the "Qiangui" KTV, staring at the entrance of Qiangui, as if it was a giant mouth that swallowed up worldly desires.

Stay calm, stay calm. The more times like this happen, the more you need to stay calm.

Xiao Yao scratched his scalp, sorting out the situation and his thoughts.

The cool breeze from the fountain behind him and the occasional splash of water on his back reminded him of the night when he was rejected by Shen Jie.

Shen Jie...

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later..."

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later..."

"Shen Jie, something serious has happened here and I need your help."

"I don't mean to pester you. This is a matter of life and death. Call me back."

The two text messages were sent, but nothing happened. The system did not send any notification that the number had received the message, which meant that either my text messages were blocked or the other party had turned off their phone.

Xiao Yao didn't know where Shen Jie lived. It was Saturday afternoon. If he waited until Monday to block her at the No. 7 Girls' High School, Xiao Xiong and Yu Luying's families would have already reported the case, and he would have been questioned at the police station as a person directly related to the case...

He stood up, walked around and found a small shop, picked up the receiver on the glass counter, and fiddled with the disc.

No one heard.

Called again, still no answer.

Xiao Yao put the 5-cent coin he was fiddling with back into his pocket, picked up his phone and made another call.

"Hello, is this Zhang Zhengkai? This is Xiao Yao... Yes, hahaha. Well, did you lose a GBA and left it in the cashier?... Yes, yes, yes, I found it for you today, isn't that a coincidence?... Hahaha, you're welcome, you're welcome, okay, just send me the address and I'll send it to you later?... OK, OK. Oh, by the way, there's something I need to talk to Zhou Xiaoying about, do you have her phone number? I forgot to write it down last time... Oh, okay, thank you, wait a minute," Xiao Yao looked at the store owner: "Can you give me a piece of paper and a pen?"

"Hello? Is that Zhou Xiaoying? I'm Xiao Yao... Oh, I asked someone for it." Xiao Yao greeted enthusiastically.

There seemed to be a lot of noise in the background on the other end of the phone.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Xiaoying moved to a quieter place and asked directly.

"Do you know where Shen Jie is now?" Xiao Yao asked this question with hope - let's try it out.

"I know," Zhou Xiaoying said in a clear voice, "I also know that she doesn't want to see you now."

"I know," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I really have something urgent to do..."

Xiao Yao vaguely explained to Zhou Xiaoying what was happening. He mentioned that he had taken two classmates to Qiangui KTV and they both disappeared, and that he was "refused to check the surveillance camera." Naturally, Xiao Yao did not mention anything about what was in the mirror.

"If you don't call the police, what's the point of calling our Shen Jie?" Zhou Xiaoying said so, but still uttered four words: "Shui Mu Nian slippery."

"What? Shui Mu Nian Hua?"

"Shuimunian Skating, the skating rink. It's not far from Qiangui." Zhou Xiaoying said: "I didn't tell you that."

Having said that, the girl hung up the phone.

Thank you, Zhou Xiaoying.

It didn’t take much effort to find Shuimunianhua because it was on the top floor of the Small World shopping mall, only two or three blocks away from Cashbox.

While asking, Xiao Yao took the elevator to the top floor. Before the elevator door opened, a deafening music penetrated the gap in the elevator door and floated into his ears.

“Longlong, dragon dragon dragon, dragon dragon dragon, dragon dragon dragon dragon fiercely…”

After entering the iron alloy gate, Xiao Yao saw that the roller skating rink was as large as half a shopping mall. The loud DJ music and the rotating cosmic ball lights made Xiao Yao feel as if he was in a dance hall.

Many young men, teenagers, or young adults, holding hands, rushed past Xiao Yao, and from time to time someone made strange noises.

Xiao Yao doesn't like such occasions very much.

With a loud bang, a little fat boy fell to the ground, which reminded Xiao Yao of Xiong Ji, whose life or death was still unknown.

He was not in the mood to care about others. He just stared with wide eyes, looking for Shen Jie's figure in the flickering lights.

Fortunately, the song ended soon, the rotating ball lights stopped, and the skating rink returned to normal lighting. Next came a slow and lyrical song.

"I am as free as the wind, just like your tenderness, which cannot be retained..."

Xiao Yao saw the short girl whizzing past him.

Shen Jie did not hold hands with others, but put her hands in her trouser pockets and glided at high speed alone.

She tied her hair into a high ponytail today, wore a baseball cap tilted on one side, and wore a black top and loose khaki wide-leg pants. The long trouser legs covered her skates, leaving only the tip of the shoe exposed.

Not only did the top clearly outline her graceful figure, but its hem was several centimeters away from the waistband of her pants, revealing a sliver of the girl's delicate white belly...one could even vaguely see half of her belly button.

To be honest, Shen Jie has a pretty good figure. Although she is petite, there is no sense of disharmony in the proportions of her body.

At this time, Xiao Yao frowned unhappily. He remembered that his daughter Shen Tianyun had also tried to go out wearing this kind of belly-exposing outfit, but he scolded her and stopped her strongly.

Xiao Yao recalled that this should be the fourth time he met Shen Jie, and her style was different every time he met her.

From the graceful student style of the first time, to the girl-next-door style of the second time going to the park, to the elegant young lady style of the third birthday party, to this time... the style of a young woman in society?

"I push away your outstretched hands. Go away, and you'd better not look back..."

Yes, at this moment, Shen Jie is like a free-flying elf.

Her skating skills are superb. She has no problem skating forwards, backwards, on one foot, and sudden braking. She can even do a few figure skating moves occasionally.

Such a girl was of course the focus of everyone's attention, but Shen Jie didn't care about it. She just squinted her eyes and enjoyed her own speed.

"Honey, do you like me?" Xiao Yao remembered the question Shen Jie asked him that day.

"I like her." In fact, he didn't really know Shen Jie, but he gave such a definite answer irresponsibly.

"You don't like me, you just want to find someone to date. You don't fall in love with Shen Jie, you fall in love with love."

Xiao Yao, you actually know in your heart that she is right.

If what I heard in the mirror was really Shen Jie’s inner voice, does that mean... ?

"Is it possible that you are the only one who is happy, while I have been playing the role of a little...little...one to please you?"

With a "pa" sound, a strong hand patted Xiao Yao's shoulder from behind, interrupting his memories and scaring him so much that he almost jumped up.

When I turned around, I found that it was "A Fei" who was also in the KTV that day.

"Are you here?" the Ah Fei said happily.

"Ah, ah," Xiao Yao responded, "Here it comes."

"Shen Jie!" Ah Fei shouted at the top of his voice, "Your 'comrade lover' is here!"

Today's 7rd update, next update at o'clock

Chapter 55: Year Slip

2022-12-28

"What are you yelling for, Xu Jiefei?" Shen Jie stopped and turned to look at A Fei with dissatisfaction.

Oh my god, it turns out this “A Fei” is really called A Fei, Xiao Yao thought.

Then, Shen Jie saw Xiao Yao next to Ah Fei. The girl's pupils slightly dilated, and she subconsciously tilted her head to the right, uttered a soft "ah", then turned her face to the left and reached out to support her forehead.
