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

“Yu Luying will no longer tutor you,” said Teacher Yao, the “repeater.”

"Why?!"

"You know why," Teacher Yao said, narrowing her eyes.

"I didn't steal it," Xiao Yao blurted out.

“I believe you,” Teacher Yao’s words surprised Xiao Yao: “I personally am willing to believe you.”

"That……?"

“But you have no evidence. Heaven is watching what people do, and I can’t stop the gossip.” Teacher Yao sighed. “Keep a low profile for a while.”

"With such a scoundrel and pervert in the school, I must find him and expose him, not only to clear my name but also for justice," Xiao Yao declared loudly. "As the homeroom teacher, you also bear responsibility for what happened in your class—"

Teacher Yao looked up at him, hesitated, and said, "That's enough."

"What?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Yu Luying herself has stopped pursuing the matter and can focus on preparing for the exam," Teacher Yao sighed again.

"But--"

"Oh dear, Xiao Yao." As he spoke, the physics teacher walked into the office: "You've caused trouble for your teacher Yao again? Look at him, he's almost bald."

"Don't mention hair!" Teacher Yao said.

“I didn’t…” Xiao Yao said.

"You finally handed in your homework recently, but the error rate is a bit high," the physics teacher said.

"Director Wu, could you help him correct it when you have time?" Teacher Yao said with a smile, "Oh dear, don't make that face, I'll just treat you to a piece of junk food."

"Alright, alright, I happen to have some time now," Director Wu glanced at his Rolex on his wrist, "What class are you having today?"

"Let me see..." Teacher Yao looked at the timetable clipped under the glass: "It's okay if this guy doesn't attend the Chinese class."

Teacher Yao put down her teacup, stood up, walked to the office door, turned to look at Xiao Yao, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and went out.

Chapter 24 Shirt

When the bell rang, Teacher Yao returned, carrying a plastic bag in her hand.

There was a white shirt underneath.

"Go try it on and see if the size is right." Teacher Yao took out something that looked like an invoice from the plastic bag, crumpled it up, and threw it into the wastebasket.

"Ah good."

Xiao Yao changed into the new shirt in the men's restroom, and it looked like it fit perfectly.

"It's brand new... I haven't even peeled off the tags yet." Xiao Yao muttered to himself, "This..."

He took out his phone and typed a text message: "Can you believe it? Our homeroom teacher actually bought me a shirt himself!"

Sent successfully.

The recipient has received the message.

Wait... wait... wait... wait...

Shen Jie still hasn't replied to his message?! It's been all morning!

Xiao Yao made a call in a huff, but it rang for a long time before the other party answered.

"What's up?" Shen Jie's opening line was this.

"What's wrong? Why are you so impatient?" Xiao Yao was startled.

"No, what's wrong? What's the matter?" Shen Jie softened her anxious tone.

"No, it's nothing. I just noticed you haven't replied to my messages..."

"I have to go to class, little brother. Even if you don't listen to the lesson, I do!"

Xiao Yao choked.

So, what's with this "junior high school student" thing?! Even though Shen Jie is indeed a second-year high school student...

"Hello? Why aren't you saying anything?" The tone on the other end of the phone softened again: "Final exams are coming up soon, I'm super busy right now, I'll call you after school, okay?"

“No,” Xiao Yao said firmly, not knowing where he got the courage, “Don’t hang up. Talk to me for a while.”

Shen Jie remained silent for a few seconds.

Xiao Yao himself felt a little regretful. With the atmosphere like this, what could they possibly talk about?

Fortunately, Shen Jie broke the deadlock: "Why would you let your teacher buy you clothes? Teachers don't earn much."

"Yes, I'll have to return it to him later."

"Tell me your clothing size, specifically your bust, waist, and hip measurements."

"How would I know that?" Xiao Yao was taken aback.

"Go back and have your grandma measure you with a ruler, then send it to me."

"You don't need to buy it for me..."

"Just take the measurements as I tell you to," Shen Jie said in an unquestionable tone.

“…I understand.” Xiao Yao paused for a moment, then replied.

Shen Jie still wanted to buy him things, which went against a man's pride to some extent. However, this at least showed that she didn't intend to ignore him.

"I had a very long dream this morning..." Xiao Yao decided to finish telling the story of the dream.

"Don't worry, it's okay," Shen Jie gently comforted him after listening to his story. "It's just a dream. Dreams are always the opposite of reality."

“But I rarely have such vivid dreams,” Xiao Yao said, still shaken. “Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still see…”

"Okay," Shen Jie said gently, "I'm very touched that you saved me when I was in danger."

“There is no greater love than that of a man who would give his life for his friend,” Xiao Yao blurted out.

This is actually a passage from the Bible, which he had heard Yu Luying mention several times.

"..." Shen Jie hesitated for a moment, then changed the subject: "By the way, have you talked to Shen Tianyun yet?"

“We talked,” Xiao Yao said. “She still said she was going to celebrate a classmate’s birthday and went to sing karaoke all night.”

"From now on, check if she's there every night before you go to sleep. If she's not there, call me."

“…I understand.” Xiao Yao didn’t know what else to say. “By the way, Shen Jie.”

"Junior, I really have to go to class now." Shen Jie said with a hint of helplessness, "The preparatory bell has rung twice already."

“Okay, go ahead,” Xiao Yao thought for a moment and added, “Remember to call me after school, don’t forget.”

"Okay, okay," Shen Jie said, and then hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao remained in the same position as when he was on his phone, without putting his hand down.

Just then, a familiar female voice came from outside the restroom door: "Zhou Qi, I didn't realize before that your mouth was so big?"

"What's wrong, Qu Yuqin? Are you going to stand up for your good-for-nothing brother?" This arrogant voice was of course Zhou Qi.

"Call me Ouyang Qianqian!"

"Whatever, what do you want?"

"Heh, I'm warning you, don't get cocky, don't think I don't know what you've been up to..."

As the footsteps faded, the sounds of their argument gradually disappeared until they were no longer audible.

Yes, my god-sister is definitely my biological sister!

But, will there be any problems?

Xiao Yao was somewhat worried.

He returned to the classroom and sent Shen Jie another text message: "When should we meet next time?"

As expected, I've read it, but I won't reply.

Chapter 25 Teacher's Wife

Yu Luying left early as soon as school was over.

Shen Jie's reply text message also arrived late: "Oh, let's talk about it later. It might be after the exams and the holidays. You should also hurry up and study."

Instead of waiting for the legendary "I'll call you after school," and with no time to worry about the mess in front of him, Xiao Yao rode home with Teacher Yao on his light motorcycle.

Xiao Yao thought to himself, "I thought it would be in the office."

He sat on the back of the motorcycle, his arms around Teacher Yao's waist, and for some reason, he thought of his childhood, when he also hugged his father's waist in the same way.

This feeling... is a little unfamiliar, yet also a little nostalgic.

Teacher Yao's home is not close to the school; it took her fifteen minutes to get there by motorcycle.
