You are my wife, don't doubt it!

The evil things Song Haijian had done caused his blood pressure to rise, and all he could think about was killing Song Haijian immediately.

However, deep in his heart, there was another voice telling him that this was nothing more than a high-sounding excuse for justice packaged for personal gain and grudges.

Due to the absence of Teacher Yao, Song Haijian was transferred to work in Shanghai. In other words, the incident of forcing people to death in Sujiang in 23 years is unlikely to happen again.

Besides...

Yu Bo spoke slowly: "Have you seen the movie Minority Report?"

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "That's what I was going to say."

Yu Luying nodded to indicate that she had seen it, but Shen Jie had no impression of it.

“In Minority Report,” Yu Bo explained to Shen Jie, “murder has disappeared. The future is predictable, and criminals are punished before they commit crimes.

"Do you think this is right? Should people be punished for something they haven't done? Don't you think this is horrible?"

"I..." Shen Jie stammered.

Yu Bo continued, "Those are things that have never happened. Can we judge a person now just because he will make mistakes in the future? After the notorious charges of 'false charges' and 'intention', are we going to add 'destined'?"

"Well," Xiao Yao weakly raised his right hand: "Second the motion."

"Why are you seconding this motion?" Shen Jie said angrily, "If the future doesn't count, can you let go of me now?"

"Ah this..."

Yu Luying burst out laughing and quickly covered her mouth.

A smile also appeared on Yu Bo's lips.

Then, Shen Jie also started to giggle. Xiao Yao didn't quite understand what was so funny about it, but he had to laugh along.

After laughing like this, the heavy atmosphere in the room was relieved a lot.

"Okay, Xiao Yao, stop seconding this and that and being double-standard," Shen Jie said softly, "If you have a conscience, come with me and don't make trouble. If you have too much conscience, just pretend you know nothing and take a few days of lessons with Yu Luying and wait for my news - I don't believe it. How capable am I? Can I teach you science in just a few days?"

"If you must go, I will definitely go with you." Xiao Yao said, "How can I let you take the risk alone?"

"Sister, why do you say that about Xiao Yao?" Yu Luying gently retorted: "He is actually very smart, but he just doesn't focus on studying. If he seizes the time..."

"Okay, you're using all the words that teachers use to fool students' parents? Do you really think I'm your mother?" Shen Jie said with a smile, "You can't answer any of these summer homework questions. If you can teach them all in a few days, you don't have to waste your life in high school. I'll ask my dad for money to open an education training class for you. I guarantee you'll be more popular than that guy from Old Oriental."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense," Yu Bo clapped his hands, "Now that we've come to this, let's discuss your plan."

When Yu Bo said this, he was looking at his niece.

"...I actually planned to steal the test questions given by Teacher Song, and then teach Xiao Yao the answers..." Yu Luying said unconfidently.

"Huh?" Shen Jie looked confused. "Aren't you asked to retake the exam because you were suspected of cheating by stealing the test questions? Let you cheat again? Even if there is a chance, aren't you afraid that it's a trap and they will just send you two away together?"

"Last time, Shadow stole my underwear and framed Xiao Yao. I also want to try with the help of Shadow World. Even if I can't steal it, as long as I can see the test questions, I should be able to remember them."

"......?" You have this gift of photographic memory? How come I didn't know this before?

"I'm standing still. Is Yingying's suggestion an alternative plan? We can give it a try." Yu Bo supported his hands on the large desk, stood up and said, "I still have to state first that in principle I do not support using the shadow world to actively interfere with other people's minds and free will. I made a mistake in providing you with assistance this time."

"Thank you, Father Yu." Xiao Yao and Shen Jie said together.

"We are really at our wit's end. If only there were other ways to solve the problem..." Shen Jie added.

"I will go with you this time, and you must follow my instructions in all actions," Yu Bo said, "Our first action plan is to find the location of the test questions and steal them out, or write them down; if we are discovered, we will... find a way to talk to him and see if we can find a peaceful solution to the problem. Does anyone have any objections?"

This thing is actually the same as the user terms that pop up when you log into the game. You can only agree to it.

So the three of them nodded in agreement.

"Then the next topic," Yu Bo sat back behind his desk, crossed his legs, turned his chair 90 degrees, lit a cigarette, and finished in one go: "Find the entrance to Mr. Song's temple - if he really has a temple."

"So not everyone has a palace?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Generally speaking, the Hall will only appear when desires are distorted to a certain degree," Yu Bo explained, "So my plan is to first enter the Hall of the crowd, that is, the collective subconscious, to look for clues about Mr. Song and the test paper he gave."

"Well, let's do it now. Let's go now." Shen Jie rolled up her sleeves.

"What's the point of going today? He hasn't finished the test questions yet, right?" Yu Bo rubbed his temples. "The best time is the night before the test. Let's wait and prepare."

Shen Jie was a little anxious. It was the night before the exam and if she failed, there would be no room for maneuver. But considering that she was asking Yu Bo to do something for her, she had to keep her mouth shut.

Yu Luying saw what Shen Jie was thinking and tried to smooth things over, "Sister, you've been so busy these past two days, you should take a break. I'll also prepare a little bit and help Xiao Yao with his basics tomorrow, so that he won't be confused by the answers when the time comes."

The night before yesterday, you were also "hard-working", right? Shen Jie nodded reluctantly.

When Xiao Yao and Shen Jie walked out of the side door of the Sacred Heart Church side by side, the bright and scorching sunlight had already covered the asphalt road, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

The cicadas' calls are particularly irritating.

There was almost no trace of the heavy rain last night.

Yu Luying did not go with them, but stayed with her uncle, as if she had something else to say.

"Let's ride our bikes back," Xiao Yao suggested, "My bike is still parked in front of the school."

"Yeah." Shen Jie didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

She obviously cares about me so much, why does she act so cold when it’s just the two of us?

Xiao Yao tentatively held the girl's hand. Shen Jie subconsciously tried to pull it away, but Xiao Yao held it tightly in his palm.

Shen Jie surrendered - she let the boy pull her towards where Xiao Yao parked his bicycle.

"Wife." Xiao Yao took out the key and unlocked the bicycle.

“……”The girl ignored him.

"Thank you, really. I will always remember it." Xiao Yao turned around and gently put his arm around the girl's waist.

"I owed you in my previous life, Master." Shen Jie replied dimly.

Xiao Yao leaned down and pecked the girl on her thin lips.

"Tsk, let's go." Shen Jie deliberately wiped her mouth hard with the back of her hand to annoy him, and jumped onto the back seat of Xiao Yao's bicycle, her two little feet wrapped in pure black cotton socks and sneakers swinging back and forth.

Chapter 137 Xiao Yao Decides to Grow Up

2023-03-18

Xiao Yao rode a bicycle back home with Shen Jie. The latter got off the bike 500 meters away from the alley entrance and put on her hat and mask again.

Xiao Yao waited for her at the door for a long time. As soon as she entered, the girl changed into slippers, holding her sneakers in one hand, and went into the closet.

Xiao Yao followed in without hesitation.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Shen Jie deliberately made a confused expression, bent her fingers and waved her hand: "If you have nothing else, go back to your own home."

Xiao Yao coughed twice.

This is not an act. From the beginning till now, Xiao Yao has been coughing more and more violently.

I can't help coughing. If I cough, my chest and stomach will hurt at the same time. It's so painful.

"Touch me again," Xiao Yao walked to the edge of Shen Tianyun's bed, covered his chest and sat down, "I feel like I'm seriously ill."

Shen Jie stared at Xiao Yao expressionlessly for a while, then turned around and took out a thermometer.

Is this the one I got from my uncle last time...? Xiao Yao thought.

"Put it under your armpit." Shen Jie threw the thermometer to Xiao Yao.

Three minutes later, Xiao Yao took out the thermometer and held it under the light in front of him to look at it.

Before he could see clearly, Shen Jie had already anxiously snatched the thermometer away.

"37.3, is that considered a fever?" the girl said to herself.

"Are you okay? Just a low-grade fever?" Xiao Yao wasn't sure.

"Shall I take you to the hospital?" Shen Jie said.

"Let's take a look. The fever isn't that severe." Xiao Yao was still instinctively resisting going to the hospital because of his desperate situation and the poor's habitual thinking. "If it gets worse later..."

Shen Jie hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

She pouted, helped Xiao Yao lie down on her daughter's bed, and covered him with a small blanket covered with cat heads.

Then he turned around, put on the big mask again, and walked out of the closet.

Xiao Yao tossed and turned in a daze for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep.

By the way, where has this kid Tianyun gone?

At this time, Shen Jie came back - it turned out that she had gone to the pharmacy.

The girl poured hot water for the boy, sat on the edge of the bed and arranged for him to take the compound paracetamol tablets, then turned around and bent over, picking up a paper bag: "I bought you preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and pork floss, so you can have this for lunch?"

Xiao Yao was so moved that he almost cried, because he had never eaten preserved eggs since he was a child.

You still don’t understand me, Xiao Yao thought.

But in order to avoid spoiling the fun, Xiao Yao didn't say it. He just put his arms around the girl's waist and pulled her towards him.

"What are you doing...in broad daylight?" Shen Jie was shocked: "The porridge is going to spill!"

In the evening, the sports students should come back.

"Let me go, Xiao Xiao - I called someone." Shen Jie's breathing was heavier than usual and her face was flushed.

Xiao Yao pinched her little foot wrapped in black cotton socks, feeling the warmth and humidity from the sole of her foot.

"Xiao Yao, do you have any shame? You really want to use force, right?"

Xiao Yao's head was facing the ceiling, and he was face to face with Shen Jie: "Hello, yes."

"I don't think you're sick at all!"

In the thick fog outside the window, two pigeons flapped their wings and flew past the window.

……

"Okay, Zabudodele." Shen Jie finally regained her sanity: "You want that guy to laugh at us again, right?"

"It's okay," Xiao Yao said vaguely without stopping his attack: "My empathy is already quite weak now - by the way, will I still have empathy in 2034? Even cell phone signals in different time and space cannot communicate with each other..."

"You didn't restrain yourself when your empathy was strong the day before yesterday!" Shen Jie shouted angrily and rolled off the bed.

Why are you angry again for no reason? The day before yesterday? It was obviously you who started it...

Xiao Yao thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Shen Jie stood up, zipped up her clothes, rearranged herself, took off her two cotton socks, rolled them into a ball, held them in her palm, then pulled off the red scarf and threw it all on the sofa.

Xiao Yao wrapped himself tightly in his blanket awkwardly.

"Fuck, I get angry every time I think about this, every time I think about this..." Shen Jie walked barefoot to the sofa and sat down on it: "You made me lose face in front of Yu Luying."

"what……"

"You just want to be happy and don't care about anything else," Shen Jie said indignantly, "The night before last was like it was me and her... Have you ever thought about it?"

"I have thought about it," Xiao Yao pointed out weakly, "That's why I have been trying so hard to hide..."

"You mean, I forced you to do this? It was me, Shen, who took the initiative to get close to you, right?" Shen Jie widened her eyes.

"I didn't mean that." Xiao Yao raised his hands in surrender, giving up the idea of ​​reasoning with her: "No matter how wrong it is, it's all my fault."

"It's all your fault!" Shen Jie crossed her arms angrily, pressing her right leg on her left leg. "Do you really think I can't guess this little thing about your symbiosis? There are so many clues in the past, do you think I'm stupid?"

"..." Xiao Yao remained silent.

"I didn't expose you because I wanted to see how long you would keep hiding it from me." Shen Jie's words were not entirely true: "But the night before last... at this time, I thought I had guessed wrong and that I was overthinking. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so open."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yao confirmed cautiously, "So that night in Zhouzhuang, you suddenly became so... proactive, just to test me?"

There are ten thousand ways to try symbiosis, why choose this way that involves yourself, isn't that stupid? Xiao Yao thought.

"Bullshit!" Shen Jie was furious: "I didn't do this for your...your...your birthday present? And you made me look so stupid!"

Xiao Yao lifted his small blanket, pulled up his pants, turned over and got out of bed, walked towards Shen Jie, ready to hold her in his arms and coax her again.

"Don't come over! Don't touch me! Maintain a social distance of two meters!" Shen Jie extended a palm forward, and Xiao Yao stood still obediently.

"So," Xiao Yao asked her, "you are so angry with me because of this matter. Is this the crux of the matter?"

There was supposed to be a sentence “we broke up after such a long time” after “I’m so angry”, but Xiao Yao thought it would be better not to say those two words, so he didn’t say them.

"Hmph." Shen Jie sneered and turned her face away without comment.
