You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Since the situation has changed now, why not just explain it to Shen Jie unilaterally here? It won’t be considered as a violation of the agreement between Yu Luying and me, right?

"Shen Jie..." Xiao Yao called.

"Hush, look!"

Xiao Yao looked up and saw that the streets of the ancient town were crowded with tourists. The river flowed slowly from the endless darkness in the distance and then flowed to an unknown place. Only the thousands of lights on the street cast colorful reflections, illuminating the old boatman rowing his boat slowly under the bridge. The sound of the pipa came from the wind, mixed with the soft singing of Wu dialect...

"Yes, the moonlight is so beautiful." The boy turned around and was stunned.

In such a beautiful scene, the girl's hair was slightly ruffled by the night wind, her hands were nervously clasped together, her beautiful eyes were closed, her chin was slightly tilted up, her thin pink lips were slightly upturned like an orchid, and her whole body was motionless.

Uh, is that what I thought it meant? It shouldn't be what I thought it meant, right?

If I act rashly, I'll probably be thrown off the bridge, right?

Shen Jie waited for more than ten seconds, but Xiao Yao didn't show up. She opened her eyes in anger and embarrassment, her eyes full of "What's wrong with you?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yao said.

The girl in black didn't say anything, but closed her eyes again and turned her head to the side, then a little bit more.

If you continue to play dead, you will definitely be thrown off the bridge.

Yu Luying, I’m sorry.

Xiao Yao swallowed and lowered his head slightly.

……

An unknown bird flapped its wings and flew over Xiao Yao and Shen Jie's heads.

"You...how do you feel?" Xiao Yao touched his lips with his right hand and asked hesitantly.

The girl in black bit her lower lip and raised her face to think for a long time.

"No feeling." Then she said.

"How can I not feel anything?!" Xiao Yao was anxious.

Shen Jie laughed out loud: "I was just kidding, look how anxious you are!"

Xiao Yao looked at the girl in black who was holding her belly and laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

It's been a long time...I haven't seen her smile like this.

"I want more." Shen Jie looked at Xiao Yao with her bright eyes.

"..."

Two hours later, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie dragged their tired but excited bodies to this boutique theme hotel called "Wei Ai".

In fact, I had spent the first hour and a half accompanying her on a night cruise in the boat village, and this "Wei Ai" hotel was only a half-hour walk away from the boat village.

He looked up at the flashing neon sign of "Wei Ai". Shen Jie explained that because she called too late, this was the only hotel she could book in Zhouzhuang. Xiao Yao didn't know whether he hoped this was true or false.

The atmosphere in this place seems to be rather... well, to put it in a nice way, it's full of fun, but to put it in a blunt way, it's not very serious.

Before going upstairs, Shen Jie and he went shopping at the convenience store downstairs.

Xiao Yao picked up two packs of Lays and gave them to Shen Jie before they went to pay the bill together.

He leaned against the shelf, stood behind Shen Jie, and watched her check out. Suddenly, he felt his throat a little dry and sore.

Something is wrong, Xiao Yao said to himself, I smell a conspiracy.

He looked at the small black bonnet on Shen Jie's head, the Dior umbrella, the pure black skirt, socks and shoes that formed a whole, and the long gloves on her arms.

All of this speaks to three words: "women's sense of ritual."

This person probably came prepared today. What happened on the bridge just now might not have been a spur-of-the-moment thing, but part of a plan.

If my inference is correct, it means that what I did on the double bridges... may not be the climax and end of today.

After all, she was the one who chose this place.

Xiao Yao felt a little restless and twisted his legs nervously.

No, it's impossible. I must be being too sentimental - in Shen Tianyun's words, this is called "I'm thinking about Taozi", or it may be one of the many illusions of men.

Please, she is Shen Jie, the dignified and noble eldest lady, not the love-crazy Zhao Xiaomei, nor her own godsister Ouyang Qianqian.

Besides, even if they are Zhao Xiaomei and Qu Yuqin, they are high school students after all, and most of them would not be so bold. It's just a lot of noise but little action.

I had just made up my mind this morning to be free from desires and treat others with respect, but I didn't expect to face such a severe test in the evening.

While thinking about empty thoughts, he strolled to Shen Jie's side, his casual eyes wandering around the small shelf next to the cash register.

Cigarettes, lighters, chewing gum, and...all kinds of colorful, square paper boxes wrapped in plastic film.

What is this, a playing card?

Durxe, 001, Jabons, and... Playboy?

Playboy?

I seem to have seen it somewhere before?

Xiao Yao reached out and took out the box of "Playboy" and played with it in his hands.

Where have you seen it?

Ah, yes.

On the day when Yu Luying and Xiong Ji were trapped in the mirror, I went to the "Shui Mu Nian Hua" ice skating rink to ask Shen Jie for help.

At that time, when she and Shen Jie were about to leave, her friend named "A Fei" smiled maliciously, took out a box of Playboy from his pocket, threw it to her, and said, "Be careful!"

At the time, I didn't understand what it was and thought it was bubble gum. Just as I was about to accept it, Shen Jie snatched it from my hand and threw it in the face of Ah Fei, cursing, "Go to hell!"

Xiao Yao understood what this was.

Just as he was about to put the box back, Shen Jie started yelling, "What do you want to do? Don't buy this!"

Xiao Yao held the small paper box in his hand and looked up at Shen Jie, only to see that her face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't tell whether she was embarrassed or annoyed.

"You want to die! Put him back quickly!" Shen Jie urged in a low voice.

Sure enough, Shen Jie was still normal, and she was indeed thinking about Taozi just now.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little lost.

He didn't want to admit that he thought it was bubble gum or a playing card, so he blurted out a joke: "I was just thinking of keeping a box, just in case."

Shen Jie snatched the box of Playboy away, but did not throw it back on the shelf immediately. Instead, she stood there and thought blankly for five seconds.

??? What on earth are you thinking of a bubble teapot?

"Forget it, let's not use it." Five seconds later, Shen Jie said this in a low voice, then put the paper box in her hand back on the shelf, glared with her almond eyes, and stomped her feet: "What are you looking at me for? Take the things and leave!"

Xiao Yao took the two white plastic bags from Shen Jie woodenly, and followed the girl in black out of the convenience store.

The night is already very deep.

Chapter 123 Love Hotel III

2023-02-28

This "Wei Ai" hotel was built on the edge of Zhouzhuang Ancient Town and is obviously a recent building.

Perhaps it was originally built as a gimmick for "overlooking the entire Zhouzhuang", and its height seems a bit out of place among the buildings in this area.

The high marble steps, the symmetrical welcoming driveways on both sides and the towering main entrance all indicate its restrained and rigorous past.

But now, those flashy exteriors with flashing colorful neon lights and the eight leaping characters of "Wei Ai Boutique Fashion Hotel" seem to be announcing to the world that this is now a place to let go of yourself.

From the moment Xiao Yao entered the room and inserted the room card into the socket to get power, he felt dazzled.

The first impression is "big" - the indoor area is really large. Judging from the visual, such a single room must be about 40 to 50 square meters, which makes Xiao Yao, who is used to the high cost of land, a little overwhelmed.

The interior furnishings are arranged in a relaxing champagne color with the help of ambiguous ambient lighting. To the east of a large heart-shaped bed is a perfectly circular bathtub large enough for two people. There is only one sunken step between the "bathroom" and the "bedroom" as a functional partition. There are no doors or windows between the two, let alone the commonly seen frosted glass or symbolic tulle curtains.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie subconsciously looked at each other, no one spoke, and then they simultaneously and uncomfortably turned their gazes away from each other - at this time, both of their faces were slightly red.

On the other side of the bed lies a bunch of huge bananas, which is quite eye-catching. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that it is a rocking chair. The banana shape was undoubtedly chosen to match the color tone of the room - you know what, it seems quite fun, right?

Xiao Yao felt a little awkward, with no place to put his hands and feet, so he decided to sit down in the corner of the bed first. However, he found no support when he sat down, and he fell straight back into the bed, collapsing.

The big bed sank halfway - this is not an exaggeration, but it really sank halfway in the physical sense. Then, a cold feeling spread through the boy's whole body.

"Fuck, why are you so soft?"

"This is a water bed. It's filled with water. The effect is that it's soft and cool."

"Ah, sea, you are all water." Xiao Yao said.

As he was talking nonsense, there were two sounds of leather shoes hitting the ground, and then the sweet and soft girl in black threw herself onto the water bed and lay down beside Xiao Yao.

Then, he turned over and stared at the large round mirror on the ceiling facing the bed together with Xiao Yao.

No matter how fancy the other furnishings are, they are still within the scope of understanding, but this mirror, enmm...

How should I put it? Although this place looks pretty good, it always reminds Xiao Yao of the "love hotel" room he was trapped in in Teacher Yao's hall. There, he talked to another "self", smashed the mirror and got the "Don Quixote" badge; later, when Shen Jie entered the mirror in the school for the first time, the two of them also fell into a similar illusion, and they had to identify the real and fake mirrors and smash them all the way, and finally escaped.

Xiao Yao would always think of those rooms at that time. In the center of each room was a big bed with figures looming on the bed, doing shameful things... He also remembered that Shen Jie covered his eyes at that time to prevent him from seeing those figures. He would never have thought at that time that soon, he would really lie in such a place with Shen Jie.

This made him doubt whether he was in reality or in a mirror, and the strange mirrored ceiling exacerbated Xiao Yao's uneasiness.

Shen Jie had been looking up at the ceiling since she entered the room. Although it was her first time to come to this kind of hotel, she had been there before, and the furnishings in the room did not attract her attention, but she had never seen the large mirror on the ceiling facing the bed.

Everything in this room is unimportant, but this mirror is very special.

"Wife, when we get married, we should buy this kind of water bed for our family." Xiao Yao made small talk.

"Let's buy it." Shen Jie casually replied, "No, forget it. I'll get seasick lying on this thing, and what if it's cold in winter?"

"No heating system?" Xiao Yao suddenly had an idea.

"I'll warm you up first." Actually, there was, but this touched upon Shen Jie's blind spot in knowledge.

"What about this double round bathtub? Can I buy it?" Xiao Yao said.

"Buy, buy anything..." Shen Jie turned her head and touched Xiao Yao's nose with her nose: "No matter what the dog wants, meow mama will buy it for you."

"Thank you, Meow Mama."

"In the future, our house will be bigger than this room," Shen Jie's lips caressed Xiao Yao's ears, tickling him: "Decorate it the way you want - don't you like to see Huangjiang? I have a house on the Bund..."

Listening to these beautiful promises and blueprints for the future, Xiao Yao subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold the girl beside him in his arms. However, when he thought of the resolution he had made in the morning to "reduce physical contact", he expressed his love through his eyes instead.

In fact, during this period of time, he and the girl next to him have spent every night together, and this is not the first or second time that he has stayed outside. Logically, he should have been accustomed to it.

However, no matter how contented a person is with poverty, there is still a difference between eating instant noodles at home and having a big meal at the Pearl of the Orient revolving restaurant - in this hotel, Xiao Yao just feels very nervous, and he can feel that the girl next to him is more nervous than himself.

In fact, her muscles were tense, and it was obviously her first time entering such a "scene" in real life.

I always feel that spending the night in a place like this is destined not to be a "Christmas Eve", something is bound to happen. As for whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, Xiao Yao doesn't know.

Shen Jie suddenly sat up, then changed to a "prone" position, raised her hips, and crawled to the head of the bed with a meow. She sat comfortably with her back against the huge cat head pillow, then picked up the remote control on the bedside table and turned on the TV.

The girl's feet, wrapped in pure black stockings, separated temporarily, and soon overlapped again.

It was the first time that Xiao Yao saw Shen Jie wearing stockings, but he just knew (perhaps he inherited the knowledge from Yu Luying) that girls would usually take off their stockings as soon as they got home, so that they would be comfortable.

But Shen Jie had no intention of taking off her socks, which meant that she was either defending herself or seducing herself.

Judging from the way they have been getting along over this period of time, the first possibility can almost be ruled out.

"So why did you book this place?" Xiao Yao also sat up: "Is it true that you can't book another normal hotel?"

"Are you stupid?" Shen Jie changed the channel with the remote control, "Or are you asking even though you already know the answer?"

"what?"

"It was either you or the day I got pneumonia," Shen Jie changed the up and down position of her legs and lowered her voice involuntarily: "I asked you what birthday present you wanted, and you said some stupid obligation that I should fulfill, and then I didn't agree and asked you to change it..."

Xiao Yao remembered. What he said that day was "fulfilling the wife's duties", which was originally a joke, but Shen Jie didn't get angry, and she said to him seriously, "I will definitely do it next time." Later, Shen Jie asked him to make a new request, and he said that if she recovered from her illness, they would go to Zhouzhuang together, and then find a hotel with a bathtub at night to take a bath together - there was no need to be honest with each other, just wear swimsuits.

At that time, Shen Jie punched herself lightly and said, "Are you a pervert?" Then she said, "Let me think about it."

Later in the middle of the night, Shen Jie was sent to the emergency department of the First People's Hospital by himself. Afterwards, many things happened in a very short period of time, so Xiao Yao completely forgot what he had said. However, he did not expect that Shen Jie had kept it in her heart.

"Wife..." Xiao Yao exclaimed with emotion.

"It's not easy to find a hotel with a bathtub," Shen Jie said. "Most hotels have showers. I finally managed to book one near Zhouzhuang. But this bathroom doesn't even have a door. It's so weird."

Xiao Yao chuckled twice.
