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

I've been a terrible father.

He wasn't really prepared to be a father; he was just a lukewarm friend of the same age.

In comparison, Shen Jie dotes on her daughter much more.

By the moonlight, he picked up a strand of his daughter's hair and thought to himself, "You've even dyed your hair yellow. It's really unbearable to look at."

Does this comply with the "Middle School Students' Daily Behavior Code"? Sooner or later, I'll make you revert to your old ways.

What exactly are my future self and Shen Jie busy with every day? Do we really spend any energy on our daughter?

And her attire—she always wore such short shorts and tank tops, running around all day, and during the summer vacation she was never home from morning till night… I never cared what she did all the time.

I am probably the most irresponsible father in the world, both now and in the future.

Xiao Yao secretly resolved that starting tomorrow, he would begin to get to know his daughter better and try to become her close friend, preferably someone with whom he could confide his secrets.

Since we're all around the same age, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Looking at his daughter's pretty face, Xiao Yao suddenly couldn't resist leaning down, wanting to gently kiss her cheek.

His movements were very light and slow, as if he were afraid of disturbing his daughter's peaceful sleep.

Just as his lips were about to touch his daughter's smooth skin...

The girl opened her round eyes.

oops! ! !

The father and daughter looked at each other, each stunned for a few seconds.

Xiao Yao was startled and quickly sat up, stammering and unsure of what to say.

He felt a little guilty, though he didn't know why.

"You're a pervert!" the girl screamed, shrinking back and wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yao hurriedly waved his hands: "I just like daughters... no, I don't like daughters..."

The girl's round eyes widened: "People can't, or at least shouldn't... I understand the restlessness of adolescence, but even if my mom is gone, you can't do this!"

"Me? What did I do? What bullshit puberty? What are you talking about?" Xiao Yao exclaimed in shock, "What does this have to do with whether your mother leaves or not? I was just kissing my precious daughter!"

Xiao Yao looked at the girl with hurt eyes.

“My precious daughter, fork, perfect tool, hook.” Shen Tianyun sneered.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked angrily.

"You know best what I mean," Shen Tianyun rolled her eyes at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

The two stared at each other awkwardly for several seconds. Xiao Yao felt that rather than waiting for the other person to tell him to leave or say something even more inappropriate, it was better to slip away first: "Well then, I'll go back. I'm relieved to see you back."

"Where would I sleep if I didn't come back?" Shen Tianyun said. "As for you, I thought you went to become a live-in son-in-law of a vixen."

"Me and that vixen Qingqing... What vixen! You're just making a fool of yourself!"

His relationship with Yu Luying was definitely not innocent, so he had to focus on the "vixen" label.

"What do you mean, 'become a live-in son-in-law'? I'm going to get tutoring!" Xiao Yao said. "Your mother assigned me a tutor to help your father with his studies. Didn't she explain everything clearly to you before she left? Can you stop making a fuss?"

“Yeah, yeah,” Shen Tianyun said sarcastically, “You’re always bragging to me about how great you were in school, but now you’re going to have to repeat a grade if you don’t get extra tutoring!”

Even with his thick skin, Xiao Yao felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

"Have you heard anything from my stepmother?" After a few seconds of pause, Shen Tianyun's tone softened slightly as she spoke.

"Your stepmother? She's living the high life at your grandpa's house, eating and drinking well, swimming and bowling, having a great time, and even eating roast suckling pig. She said it's a pity you can't come out, otherwise she would definitely bring you to enjoy this life."

Xiao Yao took out his phone and showed Shen Tianyun the photos of the lavish banquet that Shen Jie had sent him.

"My mom is the best; she always thinks of me. Unlike that heartless woman who scolds her daughter when she has a vixen, but then..."

"What's left without the vixen?" Xiao Yao thought resentfully. "I have your mother and my silly sister now. Do I need to be as greedy as you think?"

Shen Tianyun pretended to cry, which made Xiao Yao feel both annoyed and amused. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had basically eased, he said, "I'll bring you pan-fried buns tomorrow morning! Go to bed early!" and prepared to run away.

"Go to sleep early, you woke me up when I was sleeping so soundly."

Xiao Yao returned to his room, suddenly feeling extremely tired. His schedule was packed today: leveling up in the morning, taking Shen Jie home, and then a long period of studying. Now his mind was sluggish and not very sharp.

After a quick wash, Xiao Yao collapsed onto the bed.

It's strange, this bed isn't spacious, but today it just feels empty, no matter how I lie down, it feels like something's missing.

What's missing?

Stop asking questions you already know the answer to.

Xiao Yao gently stroked the side of Shen Jie's bed with one hand, as if he could still feel some lingering warmth.

Xiao Yao sighed, wondering if she was asleep or not, and if she felt that someone was missing while she was sleeping.

Let me send you a QQ message and ask.

After sending the message while lying on the bed, Xiao Yao suddenly looked up.

Whose palace did she see today?

From Shen Jie's description, one can sense that the towering building, reaching above the clouds, is definitely a more dangerous entity than Teacher Yao's KTV + school or Teacher Song's monastery.

If each hall represents a twisted mind, then will Shen Jie be in danger by this person's side?

Chapter 185: Of course, the choice is to forgive.

2023-05-08

If each hall represents a twisted mind, then will Shen Jie be in danger by this person's side?

Based on his male intuition, Xiao Yao believed that there was a 60% chance that it was Shen Jie's father—or the temple of one of her family members.

But he couldn't say this directly to Shen Jie, otherwise he'd get angry and be hard to appease. Besides, there was no real evidence...

Ugh, this is really difficult.

Speaking of those damned fathers-in-law—Yu Luying's father, shouldn't he have divorced Yu's mother after being married for many years? Shouldn't he have lived with Yu Luying for a long time as well?

Back in Teacher Yao's hall of fame, at the parent-child education center, I saw Yu Luying's memories; it was indeed a family of three.

But she said her mother was abandoned while she was pregnant.

Is the illusion in the "Parent-Child Education Center" just Yu Luying's complete bubble dream?

I need to ask Yu Luying about this tomorrow when I have time.

Ah, Yu Luying… The image of her standing gracefully in all black flashed through my mind again.

Especially those long legs; if they were on Shen Jie, I might have had a chance to touch them, but they just happened to be on her.

In theory, she is now his girlfriend—but the authorization from his legal wife is very vague. Sometimes it's "only Platonic love is allowed," and other times it's "as long as it doesn't violate her doctrines."

Does touching someone's leg violate religious doctrine?

You could consult the holy and venerable Father Yu.

...They'll probably get beaten to a pulp, right?

……

Suddenly I remembered the matter of "Xiao Yao's reward".

Maybe...

Unlock boating in the War Park at 60 points; it's a rare privilege to share a boat ride with someone you've been waiting for.

80 points to unlock a new collection in the sewing box...

So, if I get 70 points on the test, wearing black stockings to show me again shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

So, what if we were a little bolder and got 90 points?

He began to miss Yu Luying's soft body, her expressive eyes, her lips, and her long, slender legs...

Shen Jie... Yu Luying... Shen Jie... Yu Luying...

Two beautiful figures lingered in his mind, and two delicate names whispered in the boy's heart like a pre-sleep prayer. Xiao Yao finally drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

……

Silent all night.

The next morning, Xiao Yao was woken up on time by his biological clock.

He was half asleep, waiting for Shen Jie to wake him up for his morning run.

……

He reached out to hug her, but found nothing.

It seems like I've remembered something.

Xiao Yao sat up and looked at the clock on the wall; it was already past nine o'clock.

He was somewhat listless, and the days when Shen Jie would wake him up for a morning run seemed like a distant memory.

Ugh……
