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

Bo Ge was holding Mass on the altar. He sat on the same bench with Yu Luying and Shen Jie, one on his left and one on his right. Both girls wore white veils, like brides.

Suddenly, Brother Bo threw the chalk eraser in his hand straight at him, hitting him squarely on the forehead: "The Lord says, a man must be faithful!"

Xiao Yao shook his head, dispelling the absurd illusion before him, and took out his Motorola to play Snake for a while.

A priest is not a teacher, so he wouldn't throw chalk at people. In his mind, the Bible has never opposed polygamy.

He stood on the bus, holding onto the handrail, listening to Yu Luying and Shen Jie chattering about trivial things. After they finished talking about the Rose Sutra, they switched to common topics among middle school girls: hair care, skincare, gossip, homework, clothes, jewelry, and then they started talking about Xiao Yao, as if he weren't even there.

Xiao Yao listened quietly to their conversation, occasionally chiming in with a word or two. He suddenly felt that such a journey was extremely romantic.

Did you just say there were only eight stations? That's a pity.

Xiao Yao hoped this journey would never end—or at least end slowly.

Unfortunately, Yu Luying did not think so.

I had a cello lesson this afternoon, and I hadn't planned to go out, so I didn't wash my hair beforehand.

She takes a nap, goes to class, practices piano for two hours after the teacher leaves, watches her favorite variety shows in the evening, and finishes some of her summer homework.

All of that is gone. In its place is running away to Qingpu, a place so far away. When I get back, I will definitely be scolded by my mother.

What's more, it's about accompanying someone you used to like to take wedding photos with their current partner? (This is a nonsensical phrase, likely a placeholder or error.)

What am I? A third wheel? A clown? A nobody who just barged in... a nobody...? Heaven and earth bear witness, I didn't come here willingly at all.

And then what? First, you have to watch those two being all lovey-dovey in front of you, and then you have to keep having awkward conversations with a girl you can't stand at all, no matter what.

Surely no one thinks this is a good experience? Why are eight stops so long?

……

The car stopped, a few people got out, and then more people surged in. Now Xiao Yao felt the pressure.

"Don't push, don't push!" he turned around and shouted.

The crowdedness inside the carriage was so bad that even Xiao Yao found it unbearable, so one can only imagine how Shen Jie must feel at this moment.

I don't believe you for a second...

"Quickly appreciate the unique scenery and culture of each city" refers to being surrounded by crowds.

"Next to the elderly who have just finished shopping and are returning home," that's quite true, but ma'am, the vegetables in your hands are still wet, could you please not touch my skirt?

"Listening to them, with goodwill and tolerance, sharing their interesting experiences," at the other end of the carriage, people started arguing in the Shanghai dialect over some trivial matter...

"A vibrant life and a real life" refers to the pervasive, intrusive smells that get into your nostrils, a mixture of sweat and diesel odors... and even the smell of durian?

Durian! Hey lady, that's a durian! How can there be a live chicken in it? What kind of manners are these in a public place?

The elderly woman carrying durians and chicken squeezed past Shen Jie, brushing against her arm.

She hates being touched on any part of her body by strangers in any way, especially by unfamiliar men.

However, in such crowded situations, it seems difficult to completely eliminate physical contact.

Xiao Yao was initially puzzled as to why Shen Jie kept burrowing into his arms in front of Yu Luying. He quickly realized that Shen Jie was using him and Yu Luying as a human wall to separate the surging crowd.

As we all know, Comrade Shen Jie is not a girl with a romantic mindset, but that doesn't mean she has never fantasized about taking wedding photos.

In all her scenarios, she never imagined that she would be "riding on this stupid bus with her son-in-law's ex-girlfriend."

Why would I agree to such a stupid request? And how could you even bring it up?

"Xiao Yao, let's get off at the next stop." Shen Jie made this request, panting, her tone leaving no room for argument.

“But…” Xiao Yao looked troubled, and tried his best to open his arms to create a little space for the two girls.

"Sister, just bear with it a little longer, there are only three or four stops left," Yu Luying advised.

Xiao Yao suddenly realized that this position, coupled with being squeezed, made it look like he was hugging both of them at the same time.

A faint milky scent wafted into my nose from Shen Jie, while the jasmine scent must have come from Yu Luying.

Yu Luying was actually aware of the situation. She felt she should back down, but there was nowhere to hide. She wanted to remind Xiao Yao, but she was worried that she would indirectly remind Shen Jie of this matter, which would be like "protesting too much."

Therefore, she simply pretended to be a slow-witted airhead, knowing nothing at all.

There was even a tiny bit of excitement in my heart.

What on earth is she so excited about?! Yu Luying wanted to slap herself or Xiao Yao.

Shen Jie was already used to Xiao Yao's embrace, so it was not a new experience for her.

However, even without Yu Luying's reminder, she could tell that Xiao Yao seemed to be holding more than just her, which inevitably made her feel unhappy.

But in this situation, she didn't know what to say or do to express her opposition and dissatisfaction.

She felt as if the man and woman were two big trees surrounding her, blocking out the sky and preventing her from seeing anything "outside".

Damn it... why... can't I grow taller!

The pressure from Yu Luying made Shen Jie feel frustrated.

But what Shen Jie didn't know was that she also had a part of her body that Yu Luying envied.

Because they were squeezed together, Yu Luying and Shen Jie were very close to each other.

Those two surging fawns were right under his nose, pressed against his body.

The visual and other sensory impact of such close contact is something that cannot be experienced at normal social distances.

A faint, inexplicable feeling of inferiority welled up inside her, and Yu Luying took a half-step back, breaking free from Xiao Yao's arm.

Because she didn't want Xiao Yao to take advantage of Shen Jie by using her body.

We can't let this guy keep taking advantage of my sister, hmm.

The bus, which had been stopping and starting intermittently, suddenly stopped at the roadside, opened its back door, and half of the people standing on the bus got off. Only then did Shen Jie breathe a slight sigh of relief and give up her stubborn insistence on getting off the bus immediately.

The back door closed, the car suddenly started moving, and Xiao Yao accidentally bumped into Yu Luying again, apologizing repeatedly.

After the three separated, the atmosphere on the field became a little awkward again.

"Ahem," Yu Luying coughed, and this time she was the one trying to make conversation: "So, sister, do you know how to pronounce the Rosary?"

"That's pretty much it, right? So this big bead represents reciting the Lord's Prayer once, and the small bead represents reciting the Hail Mary once?"

“Well, prayer beads are mainly used for counting, and they can also help the person holding them to calm their mind,” Yu Luying said. “My uncle also said that prayer beads that have been blessed have the effect of exorcising demons and warding off evil spirits… although I think it’s a bit superstitious.”

The two girls looked like best friends and seemed to get along quite well—Xiao Yao watched the two girls chatting intimately and couldn't help but fall into daydreams.

Although thinking this way is greedy and immoral, if, I mean if, the three of us could really be together, wouldn't that be... wonderful?

If I had agreed to Shen Jie's absurd proposal of "she is yours, and you are mine" while I was on the swing that day, what would my life be like now?

Don't be silly. Even if Shen Jie genuinely agreed, Yu Luying would never agree.

After all, her religion was monogamous, not another four-wife desert religion.

If her God truly exists, and hears my offensive thoughts, he would surely punish me.

Just as Xiao Yao was thinking this, the female driver suddenly slammed on the brakes again. He stumbled and instinctively took a few steps back, then his right heel was stomped on hard: "Ah—"

The carriage was immediately filled with curses.

After Xiao Yao instinctively exclaimed "Ah!", he realized that it wasn't him whose shoe heel had been stepped on, but Yu Luying's.

However, the girl didn't scream; instead, her face remained expressionless, as calm as a professionally trained female spy.

The bespectacled man who had stepped on someone quickly pulled his foot back and apologized to Yu Luying repeatedly, saying, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

It seems that Yu Luying's good intentions in "pretending that she wasn't the one being stepped on" did not work.

What Xiao Yao didn't know was that Yu Luying's first reaction was that Xiao Yao had been stepped on, which was why she forced herself to endure it.

Before Shen Jie could react to "why this one was being stepped on, but that one made a sound", Xiao Yao had already stepped forward.

I am extremely sorry for the poor performance.

2023-02-07

To finish my previous book this month, which is today, I haven't slept much for two nights, and I've been spending so much money on gaming that I've developed liver cirrhosis.

I have to take a day off. See you tomorrow, family.

Chapter 103: How did he end up getting married for the second time?

2023-02-08

Before Shen Jie could react to "why this one was stepped on, but that one cried out," Xiao Yao had already stepped forward and, mimicking his earlier "ah," exclaimed "Ah—! What's wrong with you? Don't you have eyes?"

Sorry, buddy—to make the performance more realistic, Xiao Yao even reached out and gently pushed him.

Xiao Yao didn't use any force, but the bespectacled man took two or three steps back: "Hey, young man, what's wrong with you? I didn't do it on purpose, and I apologized. Ask the driver how he drives this car! You come up here and start swearing and getting handsy. Do you know that we're supposed to be cute Shanghai people these days?"

"Which of my words contained a swear word?" Xiao Yao glared at him. "You stepped on someone's foot and you still think you're right! Look at what you did to that young girl! She's bleeding!"

Upon hearing "she's bleeding," the bespectacled man's arrogance subsided slightly: "I'm sorry, I know you're just worried about your girlfriend..."

However, shortly afterward, Xiao Yao was betrayed by Yu Luying herself.

"No, no, there's no bleeding! It's nothing!" Yu Luying squatted down, pulled up the sock on her right heel, then stuck her fingers into the shoe and lifted the heel.
