In fact... in the short 15 years of my life, I have hardly experienced this kind of temptation.

The first time I experienced this feeling was actually just a month or two ago.

At that time, he had already discovered the symbiosis, but he was not mentally prepared to tell Xiao Yao, for fear that the other party would use it to threaten him into submission.

Of course, later facts proved that I was judging others by my own standards.

Yu Luying clearly remembers the strange feeling she felt on her body that night.

At that time, I immediately called Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao! What are you doing?"

At that time, the boy answered her inexplicably: "Uh...? I didn't do anything."

I cried and cursed him: "You are so disgusting, you are a pervert!"

After hanging up the phone, I cried for a long time.

At that time, I really felt like the sky was falling and my innocence was taken away by the criminals.

If the church had not strictly prohibited suicide, we should have followed the example of the heroic women of the past and died to show our determination.

But in the following time, I would occasionally miss that taste unconsciously.

Yu Luying believed that this was the apple of the tree of wisdom, this was the temptation of the devil, and she must never succumb.

The girl bit her lips lightly, hammered lightly on the wall with her little fist, then turned off the water, walked out of the shower room, put on the underwear that Shen Jie bought for her in the supermarket, and put on the coat and pants she wore during the day.

She saw Shen Jie's underwear and her flesh-colored socks in the sink, so she opened the bathroom door, took the socks out of her sneakers, turned on the faucet, and rubbed the underwear with her hands.

If you don’t have laundry soap or washing powder, just use soap. It’s free anyway.

Yu Luying carefully scrubbed the clothes in her hands.

Maybe Shen Jie is right, I am a "Cinderella", no matter where I am, buying, washing, cooking, mopping the floor, doing laundry, endlessly and never-endingly.

Yu Luying suddenly thought of a question, a question she had never thought of before.

When we first started living together, I was so against Xiao Yao, insisting that he was the Underwear Thief. Was it subconsciously out of hatred for him for "blaspheming" me?

If this conjecture is true, it is indeed an unreasonable outburst of anger.

Once this realization occurs, another disturbing conjecture arises.

Yu Luying stopped rubbing her hands.

Why did I decide that I liked that guy after leaving Teacher Yao's hall, and why did I run to confess to him?

Is it really because I have had a secret crush on him for a long time?

Is there a possibility, just a possibility - that I subconsciously feel that once I become his boyfriend or girlfriend, I can legally, reasonably, and rationally allow him to do that thing?

It's ridiculous, impossible, absolutely impossible.

Besides, boyfriend and girlfriend are not husband and wife, so how can they be together?

Since the palace is the embodiment of the so-called subconscious, I really hope that one day I can enter my own palace and confront the despicable shadow of Yu Luying face to face.

"I'm back—how did you get in?"

"Ask the front desk for another room card."

The voices of Xiao Yao and Shen Jie came from outside the bathroom door.

"Honey, hug me."

"Okay, hug, hug. Okay, that's enough, there are people here."

What's wrong with you? You've gone too far, Yu Luying thought.

"What's wrong with you? That's too much?" Shen Jie said.

I'm still here, can't you just restrain yourself a little?

I rejected you at first, but you kept pestering me. Now that you have found a new love, you treat your old love like a dog?

A feeling that I couldn't tell whether it was sourness or hatred surged in my heart.

Yu Luying let out a long sigh, silently recited a "Hail Mary", and forced a sweet smile at the mirror.

The self in the mirror had a fierce look on his face and was not smiling.

Yu Luying took a breath, rubbed her eyes, and smiled at the mirror again.

This time, the person in the mirror smiled back at me with the same brilliant smile.

Was it an illusion caused by being too tired? Yu Luying thought, reaching out to touch the mirror.

His hand didn't go through, obviously he didn't have the same talent as Xiao Yao.

Hallucinations are all hallucinations.

No matter what, Yu Luying said to herself, Xiao Yao is a man of some responsibility.

Ever since I revealed our symbiotic relationship to him, not only has he not used it to blackmail me into dating him, but he has never…never…did that again.

For boys, isn’t it difficult to last such a long time?

Including tonight, he would rather take a cold shower and go out for a night run than offend himself again.

Although he was always affectionate with Shen Jie, he had never kissed her until now. In a sense, he had done his best.

Falling in love with such a guy can't be said to be a big loss. Just treat it as a life experience.

After completing this self-strategy, Yu Luying turned off the faucet with peace of mind, wrung out the underwear and socks in her hands, and then wiped her hands with a towel.

She opened the bathroom door, but she didn't expect that guy to be standing at the door, which scared her.

His eyes are still fixed on the pile of girls' things in his arms. How rude!

Yu Luying glared at Xiao Yao, turned sideways, and walked to the bay window with her chicks in her arms like a hen protecting her chicks, and started hanging clothes.

"Hey, Shen Jie, Yu Luying, look, this window faces the Huangjiang River, isn't it great?" The guy's voice came from behind.

"It's pretty good." Yu Luying pulled the clothesline towards her while looking down at the Huangjiang River under the moonlight.

"What's so special about Huang Jiang? Can't you just act like a country bumpkin?" Shen Jie said.

"I'm just a country boy." Xiao Yao said, "How can you be that?"

Yu Luying smiled secretly again.

Chapter 110 Night Attack

2023-02-15

Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and Yu Luying stood shoulder to shoulder, their eyes passing through the underwear and socks hanging on the clothesline to the Huangjiang River shrouded in moonlight.

Xiao Yao thinks that the clothesline is very nice and Huangjiang is also very nice.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Jie gently pinched Xiao Yao's waist.

"Look at the Huangjiang River and the lights on the opposite bank. What else can I see?" Xiao Yao said.

To Xiao Yao now, Shen Jie's underwear no longer has any meaning to him other than its clothing attributes - he has to wash it for her by hand every day at home.

Shen Jie was embarrassed at first and insisted on washing it herself.

"Okay, wash it yourself," Xiao Yao said at the time, "or you can just wear it once and throw it away. Dry cleaners won't take it anyway."

After Shen Jie washed herself once or twice, laziness and clumsy hands overcame her shyness, and she just turned a blind eye to it and lived a peaceful life ever since.

After all, he is hers... right? Shen Jie convinced herself.

As for Yu Luying... I can only say that not looking at what is inappropriate should be a chivalrous virtue, especially if your wife is watching right next to you.

Shen Jie thought to herself, if you really like looking at Huangjiang River that much, maybe you can spruce up the river view apartment on the Bund at home and use it as a wedding room.

Yu Luying took out her music phone and played Pu Shu's "Calling": "... Is it the night? It is the distance, it is the evening breeze that makes me sad; in that night when the past is turning over, under the stars that I couldn't count as a child, I know that she is coming, like the wind, those old times, those loves, those friends who are gradually getting old..."

"Huangjiang is so beautiful..." Xiao Yao pointed to the distance and said to Shen Jie and Yu Luying: "Look at the lights of thousands of houses on the other side. Doesn't it look like the ideal other side?"

"Good!" Shen Jie clapped her hands: "Two great poets, please start your performance!"

Yu Luying obeyed the order: "Indeed, it looks so close, as if it is within reach, but it is impossible to reach the other side... It reminds me of the huge gap between ideal and reality."

"Indeed, it makes me sad," Xiao Yao nodded, "When I was a child, this river represented the way home; but today, this river blocks the way home..."

"I think," Yu Luying said with a dazed look, "looking across the river always makes me think of the unknown future. I want to know what's on the other side of the river. It's like wanting to know what the future will be like. It would be nice if I could go and take a look."

"Silly sister, do you want to see the future..." Shen Jie pondered and exchanged glances with Xiao Yao. They both thought of the time and space channel at home: "In the future, silly sister, you will go to Fudan University, and your sister will go abroad to study. If Xiao Yao performs well, well, I will see if I can bring him with me..."

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying looked at each other across Shen Jie, both secretly frightened.

If the symbiosis problem cannot be solved, the future vision described by Shen Jie will never be realized.

What should he do then? Should he try to get Yu Luying to go abroad with him? Or should he stay in Shanghai and be separated from Shen Jie in a foreign country?

Shen Jie will be a senior in high school soon, so the future is not far away. A distance of 20 kilometers... this rope is too short.

Why does it feel like we are heading towards the future that Shen Tianyun talked about? Is this the self-correction mechanism of the timeline?

Yu Luying didn’t know so much, but the distance limitation of symbiosis alone was enough to explain the melancholy look on her face.

Only Shen Jie didn't have any ulterior motives and was just immersed in her own thoughts.

I've been out for so many days, my dad must be worried sick now, right? Did he not find me, or did he really not look for me? Nothing serious will happen to him, right? Should I find a public phone booth and call home? Should I go back? Will he beat me when I go back? How will Zhang Zhengkai's matter end in the future...?

Shen Jie knew that inside her seemingly independent and strong heart, there was still a child. For a child, when running away from home, the heart is always hanging, and there is no peace, just like duckweed swaying in the wind and rain...

Hmm? Now I am also a poet? Shen Jie thought to herself with self-mockery.

The three of them looked at the Huangjiang River under the moonlight, the lights on the opposite bank, and the small black dots moving slowly on the Huangjiang River. They all had their own thoughts and seemed to be thinking about something. No one spoke for several minutes.

"Woo-woo-woo-" The melodious whistle of a ship came from the center of the river, and even Shen Jie felt a little sad.

These two stinky intellectuals have infected me: "Go to sleep! You two can watch it slowly!"

As Shen Jie spoke, she stood up from Xiao Yao's folding bed and stretched lazily.

It was naturally not appropriate for Yu Luying to sit and recite poems with Xiao Yao: "I'm going to sleep too."

"Good night." "Good night." The three of them lay down on their beds.

"Xiao Yao, go turn off the lights." Shen Jie stuck her head out from the quilt and looked around.

"The switch seems to be with you - with Yu Luying." Xiao Yao didn't move.

Yu Luying clicked on six switches randomly, and many different lights turned on and off. Finally, the room fell into darkness.

"Silly girl," Shen Jie said, "I knew your cousin Yu Ya Ge before..."

Xiao Yao closed his eyes and prepared to turn off the phone.

"Huh? How did sister know her?" Yu Luying asked.

Xiao Yao did not listen to the girls' dorm chats anymore. He felt his head was very heavy, sinking deep into the soft pillow, deeper and deeper, until he fell into the endless darkness...

……

A few hours later, Xiao Yao woke up from a nightmare.

The specific content of the nightmare had become blurred the moment he woke up. He only remembered that he wanted to shout loudly, but his vocal cords could not make any sound.

Experience tells Xiao Yao that this situation is usually caused by pressure on the heart.

So Xiao Yao usually lies on his right side to avoid such situations.

Then, there is only one possibility for my current chest tightness.

He looked towards the large bed where the two girls slept - it was already slightly brighter outside the window, allowing him to see how the two girls' sleeping positions were intertwined.

Xiao Yao felt very thirsty, very, very thirsty.

He gently lifted the quilt, got out of bed, walked barefoot to the bathroom, lifted both lids of the toilet, stood up straight, aimed, and fired.

I almost missed the target again. This brother is always so... energetic when he wakes up in the morning. It is really inconvenient for him to go to the toilet.

Xiao Yao shook himself twice, shuddered comfortably, pulled up his pants, and walked out of the bathroom.

To show my respect to Yu Luying, I slept in my outer pants today just like her, which was really uncomfortable.

Does this mineral water cost money? It should be free, right? Never mind, drink it.

Xiao Yao unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and the cool spring water flowed down his throat, tasting a little sweet.

He drank half the bottle in one breath, but was still thirsty. He wanted to drink the remaining half, but his stomach felt bloated and uncomfortable.
