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

Seeing Shen Jie running around busily, he felt a little guilty: "Let me help you pack, the size... um."

"The dog has grown up and knows how to care for its mother now," Shen Jie said with a smile.

"Woof!" Xiao Yao barked, "I'm a dog, what are you?"

"I am, I am..." Shen Jie tilted her head: "I am a cat mommy?"

Muttering nonsensical and illogical words, Xiao Yao started helping Shen Jie tidy up.

“Meow meow is still a kitten,” Xiao Yao stretched out his left hand and gently pinched Shen Jie’s pink cheek: “She still needs Daddy Wang to take good care of her as she grows up.”

Shen Jie laughed and said, "Then Wang Baba needs to grow up faster, much faster."

"What's this?" Xiao Yao held up the new school swimsuit Shen Jie had bought today. "Swimsuit?"

“Yes,” Shen Jie said, “I went to the Shanghai swimming pool this afternoon. Since I didn’t bring a swimsuit, I just bought one. It’s a student-style swimsuit from Benzi. Do you like it?”

Xiao Yao shook the swimsuit in his hand, then shook it again: "Put it on and let me see."

"Then you should invite me swimming." Shen Jie struggled to clear a space on the sofa that was barely big enough for two people to sit.

“Right now, I want to see it,” Xiao Yao said.

"No." Shen Jie looked up and took the swimsuit from him. "Are you crazy?"

"Why not?" Xiao Yao asked seriously.

"Isn't that embarrassing?" Shen Jie muttered softly, and began folding her swimsuit.

"You can wear it for all those passersby at the swimming pool in Shanghai, but you're embarrassed to wear it for me at home?"

Shen Jie stopped what she was doing: "What do you mean by that?"

"It doesn't mean anything, just saying."

"Explain yourself." Shen Jie shook the swimsuit out again and turned it around: "This student swimsuit, is it supposed to be revealing?"

“Japan has its own national conditions,” Xiao Yao pointed out. “The lower half of this swimsuit is quite different from briefs.”

"..." Shen Jie stared wide-eyed, speechless.

“When I was in junior high school back in my hometown, the girls’ swimsuits,” Xiao Yao gestured between his thighs, “had at least a skirt, up to this point.”

Shen Jie nodded calmly: "I understand, continue."

"Continue with what?" Xiao Yao was completely baffled.

“What other clothes do you think are too revealing? Tell me all of them,” Shen Jie said with a smile.

Xiao Yao scrutinized Shen Jie's expression and asked suspiciously, "Are you angry?"

"No, not at all." Shen Jie smiled even more brightly.

“To be honest,” Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, “I think the outfit you wore at the ice rink last time was pretty… something, your belly button was showing. I’ve only ever seen that on TV before.”

"Is this it?" Shen Jie rushed to the wardrobe door, pulled it open, and accurately took out a black top.

"Yes." Xiao Yao took it and looked at it.

"Is there any left?" Shen Jie asked.

"That's all." Xiao Yao felt that Shen Jie's smile was a little... scary?

"Okay." Shen Jie nodded, took the black crop top, picked up the school swimsuit, walked to the dining table, picked up the scissors she had used to trim the flower branches that morning, and cut them in half!

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Xiao Yao quickly went up and hugged Shen Jie from behind, grabbing the scissors from her hand: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Shen Jie struggled, but the scissors still slowly approached the two pieces of clothing: "If you don't think they're suitable, then don't take them."

"Then don't cut it! You paid for it anyway!"

"Did I spend your money?!"

After a struggle, Xiao Yao finally managed to wrest the scissors from Xiao Yao, but somehow Shen Jie struck Xiao Yao in the ribs with her right elbow.

"Ah!" Xiao Yao shouted exaggeratedly, flying backward and hitting his head with a "thud" against the wall next to the bed. He slumped to the side and lay motionless on the bed.

"Dog, are you alright?" Shen Jie exclaimed in surprise, rushed to the bedside, and reached out to shake him.

Xiao Yao was actually fine, but he deliberately closed his eyes and didn't speak, pretending to be dead.

"Corgi Corgi Corgi Corgi Corgi..." Shen Jie reached out and tickled him.

No wonder Shen Tianyun keeps scratching me like that, turns out she learned it from you?

Before laughing out loud, Xiao Yao twisted twice to control himself and let out a groan.

"What happened? Did you really bump your head? Show Mom where you bumped it." Shen Jie's slippers fell to the ground with two "thuds," and she knelt on the bed, picking up Xiao Yao's head.

"Don't touch it, it hurts." Xiao Yao hissed.

It really hurt a little, but he was clearly being deliberately evasive: "I'm fine, you should take a shower and get some rest."

As he spoke, he lay down facing the wall.

"Are you really alright?" Shen Jie patted his head.

"I'm really fine," Xiao Yao said gruffly.

The girl stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that the men of Shanghai were indeed as dramatic as they were known, leaving even women in awe.

But he's not exactly a purebred Shanghai native, is he?

"Then you should get some rest. You have your final exams tomorrow. I'm going now," Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao ignored her and simply listened to the girl's movements.

With a "thump," she got out of bed.

"Pat-pat-pat" was the sound of the girl's footsteps as she left.

Then came the sound of the wardrobe door creaking open.

The sound of a plastic clothes hanger being moved.

……

Really gone?

Xiao Yao felt a little regretful.

He groaned twice; it was the sound of heartache.

The boy wanted to chase after her to the opposite room to argue, but he didn't want Shen Tianyun to see him make a fool of himself again.

Just as I was wondering what to do, the wardrobe door opened again, followed by the sound of slippers hitting the floor: "Aren't you going to sleep without washing up?"

"My whole body aches," Xiao Yao said. "I can't move."

"Is it that serious?" Shen Jie said, feigning surprise. "Get up and get dressed, Mom will take you to the hospital."

"That won't be necessary," Xiao Yao said.

"Just keep pretending to be dead." Shen Jie reached out and pinched Xiao Yao's waist.

"What are you doing!" The boy twisted his waist, and the girl had already run off to the photo booth again.

Xiao Yao sat up and listened to the sounds coming from the photo booth.

Shen Jie seemed to be lighting the gas stove. Xiao Yao could hear the sound of turning the handle and the "click-click-click" sound of the malfunctioning electronic lighter.

"Xiao Yao, your gas stove won't light?" Shen Jie's voice came from the room with the photos.

"There are matches over there," Xiao Yao called out.

"Matches? Won't I burn my hand...?" the girl said in a pitiful voice.

"I'm impressed!" Xiao Yao jumped out of bed, went to the soap room, grabbed the matches from Shen Jie's hand, and lit the gas stove for her: "What do you want to burn?"

"I see this thermos is empty, so I'll boil some water for you to wash your feet," Shen Jie said with a smile.

"You're going to wash my feet?" Xiao Yao asked, arms crossed.

"Who has ever seen such an arrogant son-in-law!" Shen Jie said with a laugh.

Xiao Yao went back to the inner room and lay down, continuing to lie facing the wall.

A short while later, he heard the sound of boiling water coming out of the stall and a girl screaming.

Kind of funny.

Xiao Yao jumped out of bed again and rushed towards the soap room, only to bump into Shen Jie, who was carrying a plastic basin of hot water in both hands: "Make way, make way!"

Xiao Yao stepped aside to let Shen Jie pass, then walked to the gas stove to check if it was turned off properly.

When he returned to the bedroom, Shen Jie was already sitting on a small stool in front of the plastic basin, with the other side of the basin facing his bed.

"Your Majesty, please!" Shen Jie carefully unbuttoned the sleeves of her shirt and rolled them up to her upper arms.

"Really...?" Xiao Yao muttered to himself as he sat down on the edge of the bed.

Shen Jie held one of his feet in her hands, took off his blue athletic sock, and casually tossed it onto the sofa.

Then there was another one.

Then, she carefully held Xiao Yao's feet and put them into the hot water.

"Ah..." Xiao Yao let out a comfortable moan.
