You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Standing in the silence of this city, let all the noise go away.

Only green mountains are hidden among the white clouds, and butterflies fly freely in the clear stream.

Look at the sunset glow blooming in the sky, and a flock of birds flying westward. "

This is also a song that Xiao Yao likes very much. He recalled his first date with Shen Jie. When they were riding a tandem bicycle together in Gongqing Forest Park, this was the song he sang loudly.

Yu Luying is still the same as before, sharing the same interests and thoughts with me.

It’s been a while since I listened to music with Yu Luying like this, Xiao Yao thought.

At this time, the bus had already driven out of the city. Yu Luying had a camera hanging around her neck. She raised it from time to time and pressed the shutter three times in a row at the farmland and dilapidated houses passing by outside the window.

"Won't the picture be blurry if taken like this?" Xiao Yao asked her.

"Just say whatever you want to say. I know you don't care about these old houses." Yu Luying said lightly.

"?" Xiao Yao was a little confused: "Can't I even chat with you?"

The girl didn't say anything, she just turned a blind eye and continued taking pictures.

"What happened between you and your mother yesterday?" Xiao Yao had no choice but to get to the point.

"Very good," the girl replied cheerfully, "I want to thank you for bringing me to Qingpu, and also thank Teacher Song for reporting this to my mother."

"?" What are you talking about here?

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never find a suitable opportunity to confess... confess this matter?" The girl deliberately lowered her voice, fearing that someone sitting next to her might hear.

It turned out that after Song Haijian ran into the three of them at the 7 Days Inn yesterday, he called Yu Lihua on the spot - this part was actually not surprising.

Yesterday afternoon, Yu Lihua rushed home in a hurry and started to fight without saying a word. Fortunately, nothing happened and Yu Bo arrived in time.

Under Yu Bo's witness, Yu Luying and Yu Bo explained everything about symbiosis to Yu Lihua.

“In order to prevent my mother from thinking that we have been hiding this from her for too long, I said that this started on the day I had the epileptic seizure in Yushan. Next time my mother asks you, don’t let it slip,” Yu Luying warned.

"Your mother asked me?" Xiao Yao said.

"Well, my mom said she wanted to talk to you."

"Okay." Xiao Yao thought, this is only natural.

Yu Luying explained to Xiao Yao how relaxed she was now - Xiao Yao understood, and made an inappropriate analogy, for example - it was like a fugitive who was finally caught one day and felt relieved when handcuffed. Even though he would be sentenced to a heavy sentence, his heart was filled with freedom.

But in fact, there are very few people who can realize themselves and turn themselves in before reaching that step - at least that's Yu Luying's personality.

Although Xiao Yao still didn't understand: after all, it wasn't Yu Luying's fault for the symbiosis, and there was a fundamental difference between that and committing a crime.

"Oh, right, about Song Haijian," Xiao Yao changed the topic: "I've thought about it carefully, and I plan to talk to Song. If he wants to punish me, I will punish Xiao Yao myself, even if it's double the amount," he gritted his teeth: "At worst, I, Xiao Yao, will drop out of school and become a street thief, but I will never implicate you."

"What a coincidence, my mother planned the same thing. You two will definitely get along well." Yu Luying smiled gently, as if she remembered something interesting.

"Then we just need to convince Song Haijian." Xiao Yao ignored Yu Luying's teasing.

"There is no need to do any work. Teacher Song is now saying that the bad student Xiao Yao should be expelled and the good student Yu Luying should be punished. Then the mother of the good student will go to her former good student, our respected Dean Lin, and explain the pros and cons to her. Teacher Song will follow suit, and the good student will remain innocent, and the ending will be perfect with only the bad student getting hurt."

Xiao Yao was a little surprised.

In this country, "boys" and "girls", "good students" and "bad students" have always been different species, and double standards are the norm - Xiao Yao knows this very well.

But he didn't expect that Yu Luying, who had always been described as a "weak" good girl and a good student in his impression, would actually speak in such a tone and say such words.

"But I won't allow that kind of outcome to happen." Yu Luying shrugged lightly and looked out the window again.

Xiao Yao didn't know what Yu Luying meant by "not allowed", nor did he know whether he should ask her "why not allowed". He just felt that although she was a little weird today, he felt warm in his heart when he heard her say that.

"Well," Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, then decided to move on to the next question: "Actually, yesterday you...we...after Shen Jie told you Tianyun's secret, you didn't react at all, and we all thought it was quite strange."

"What reaction do you want to see?" Yu Luying gave him a strange look.

"..." Xiao Yao was silent.

"As a phenomenon beyond the scope of human technology, if it happened a few months ago, I would have been so surprised that I would have screamed," Yu Luying explained, "but recently, such things have happened one after another... symbiosis, shadows, mirrors, you know, each of these things is more stressful to me than having a 14-year-old daughter. I am really a little numb."

"I understand." Xiao Yao nodded.

"If I have to say, I do have a favor to ask you." Yu Luying bit her lip and looked at Xiao Yao.

"You say." Xiao Yao said quickly.

"You can ask your daughter to help find out," Yu Luying said hesitantly, "What will the future Yu Luying look like?"

Shen Tianyun is just a junior high school student. Unless Yu Luying is in her social circle, it would be difficult to find out anything, but...

"I...I'll ask." Xiao Yao was silent for a while and said this.

To be honest, he really felt that peeking into the future might not be a good idea.

So until now, he has never really discussed with Shen Tianyun where Xiao Yao and Shen Jie will go in the future.

However, since Yu Luying has expressed such a wish...

"If it's difficult, forget it." Yu Luying saw the look on his face and said quickly, "Actually, I'm also quite hesitant. I don't think it's necessarily a good thing..."

Xiao Yao knew that Yu Luying had the same idea as him again: "Don't worry, I will definitely ask for you."

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere between the two people had changed from the strange coldness just now to the usual harmony.

"Actually, since Shen Jie decided to tell you our secret, I thought you would take advantage of the situation to tell her about our affairs." Xiao Yao said.

"That's what I was planning, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them all of a sudden," Yu Luying looked a little sad, "Just like when I faced my mother before."

"So, what are you worried about?" Xiao Yao asked gently.

Yu Luying lowered her head and said nothing.

Xiao Yao thought it would be best not to force her: "In fact, I am relieved that Shen Jie decided to tell you about this."

"Why?" The girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"I think this way, you will better understand the choice I made," Xiao Yao told her.

"Xiao Yao, I have let it go. Haven't you let it go yet?" Yu Luying's tone became colder.

"That was not what I meant……"

"If you are really together because of love, I will bless you." Yu Luying's tone suddenly became excited again: "But this... I'm sorry, I think it's too ridiculous."

"What?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Nothing." Yu Luying sounded like she was controlling her emotions.

"Speak, and speak only half of the words."

"If it were me, even if I knew the future outcome, I wouldn't want to be a puppet of fate," said Yu Luying.

"?"

"You, you and Shen Jie, you two teenagers, why do you think like my mother?" Yu Luying leaned her head against the high back of the bus seat and closed her eyes: "Everything is arranged by the Lord, and we have to obey everything..."

"Then," Xiao Yao asked cautiously, "Isn't it, fate, arranged by the Lord?"

"The church has never been a supporter of fatalism," Yu Luying opened her eyes forcefully, "Free will is the most precious gift He has given us, isn't it?"

"I don't quite understand these theological things..." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying said nothing more.

"So what you mean is that I shouldn't be with Shen Jie, but should be with you? But Shen Tian..." Xiao Yao blurted out.

Yu Luying's face flushed red, and it was unclear whether it was because of shyness or anger: "Xiao Yao, listen carefully, I did like you a little bit, but I let it go, and you haven't. I'm not saying this for myself, but I don't understand your choice."

"Why is there anything wrong with this?" Xiao Yao said puzzledly: "Let's take a step back and say that if I don't stay with her, my daughter will disappear..."

"Some children shouldn't exist in the first place," said Yu Luying.

"?" Xiao Yao didn't say anything, but he started to get angry.

"Sorry, I wasn't talking about your child." Yu Luying also realized that she had said something wrong and apologized to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao let out a long breath: "Huh... let's not talk about this anymore."

"Well, let's not talk about this." Yu Luying nodded in agreement.

The car drove into a rest area on the highway and slowly stopped.

First of all, I hope you all don’t have time to read my update today.

Then I have to say sorry here. I was previously notified that two chapters would be updated consecutively at 12 o'clock tonight. Now it seems that the second chapter will be... a little late.

In fact, the reason for temporarily adjusting the update schedule is not because I am on holiday, but because the whole 115+116 add up to a complete chapter of words. If I update them separately in two days, I am worried that it will have a negative impact on the reading experience. So I came up with this trick, which allows me to finish the updates in one go and maintain full attendance.

But it seems that...116 still needs some modifications and adjustments. Although I am working as fast as I can, I still cannot guarantee that I can produce a refined and finished product by 12 o'clock.

Therefore, chapter 115 will be updated in advance, and chapter 116 will be released immediately after it is completed after 12 o'clock. I apologize to everyone again.

After that, it will still be updated at 15: as usual.

Chapter 117 Untitled (Part )

2023-02-23

While Yu Luying and Xiao Yao were talking, the bus drove into a rest area on the highway and slowly stopped.

"Hey, students who need to go to the toilet or buy water, please pay attention," Teacher Yuan stood in front of the car with a large loud speaker, "Hurry up, we only plan to stop for ten minutes."

"Would you like to get off and take a walk?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

Yu Luying didn't comment, so Xiao Yao had to follow the crowd out of the car.

After using the restroom in the rest area, Xiao Yao did not return to the car immediately. Instead, he carefully washed his hands with hand sanitizer in the water bag.

After draining the water, he felt that his pain seemed to be relieved to a certain extent, but it still lingered for a long time, like a hidden chronic disease.

Yu Luying kept the symbiotic relationship as the most private secret, not only from her strict mother, but also from Shen Jie, her classmates, and almost everyone else.

Isn't it the same for me? In the past month or two, I have wanted to communicate with Yu Luying many times. As a young man in his twenties, I have to try my best to suppress the devil's difficulties every day, but every time a little man in red clothes, wearing a long skirt and a long wig, jumps out and shouts "Damn hooligan!", and then another little man in white clothes says to me earnestly: "Wait a little longer, wait until the atmosphere and time are right."

As a result, the atmosphere and timing became less and less suitable day by day. It was inevitable and destined to become less and less suitable day by day.

In this kind of situation, unless two people are "hanging out", the atmosphere and timing will never be right.

"Hey, what do you think, why is that crazy fangirl obsessed with Xiao Yao again?" The laughter and chatting coming from the women's restroom next door interrupted Xiao Yao's thoughts and attracted his attention - after all, among the sounds that scraped into his ears, his own name always sounded particularly loud.

"She has always been like this, Xian Gege, as if she lacked men in her previous life."

"But didn't she always chase after handsome guys before? Why did she set her sights on this guy this time...?"

"After chasing after several girls, I ended up with zero dating experience. Shouldn't I lower my standards?"

"Then Xiao Yao is in trouble. How pitiful."

"Not necessarily. In my opinion, Xiao Yao is not an easy person to deal with."

"How can I be strong?"

"I heard that Xiao Yao is with a rich woman."

"Ah? I never thought he would be so reckless."

"It's not what you think. I heard that Xiao Yao's girlfriend is only in the second year of high school, and she is also a person who can seduce those boys."

"Then what does she want? Is she also a nymphomaniac?"

"I don't know if he's crazy about flowers, but he's really willing to spend money. Look at his outfit today, it's not a Daxing product (note: knockoff)."

"Really? It can't be? I remember Xiao Yao couldn't even afford Daxing's clothes, he basically only wore school uniforms."

"Oh, you need to work on your eyesight. Clothes make the man. Xiao Yao should be dressed up. He looks quite handsome."

"Are you interested? I have his QQ number. Do you want it?"

"When did you add him on QQ?"

"When I first entered school, I found out that I had read his articles. At that time, I imagined a handsome and elegant gentleman in my mind. I found him on QQ in a roundabout way, but later I saw him in person and the relationship was forgotten."

"Haha, maybe they are just pretending to be sloppy and cowardly on purpose to filter out bad luck like you."

"Tsk, then you haven't paid much attention to him either? If I'm a bad peach, then you're a bad peach."

"Don't take advantage of me. Apart from the slutty Qu Yuqin, no girl would pay attention to him before. Can't it be that the whole school is just a rotten peach tree?"

"That's right. Hua Chi and Qu Yuqin are not normal people. They just get together. What do you think is going on with Yu Luying?"

"What happened to Yu Luying?"
