You are my wife, don't doubt it!

It's not okay even if you're an adult, you should wait until you get married. Yu Luying thought so in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

"By the way, Teacher Song's..." Yu Luying changed the subject.

Damn Song Haijian, why is it Song Haijian again? You two are really enough!

"Okay, silly girl," Shen Jie interrupted her and said, "You guessed right. I called you out today because I really have something to tell you."

"Then tell me." A hint of nervousness appeared on Yu Luying's face.

"You..." Shen Jie considered her words carefully: "Do you still like him now?"

"what?"

"You..." Shen Jie considered her words carefully: "Do you still like him now?"

"Huh?" Yu Luying said.

"..."

"Yeah." Then the girl lowered her eyes and stretched out her hand to paddle in the water.

Soaking in the pool of water, Shen Jie began to tell her her thoughts.

Yu Luying just listened quietly, saying "hmm" from time to time, or splashing hot water on her chest which was not rising or falling slightly.

"I'm done." Shen Jie let out a long sigh.

Yu Luying fell into a silence that was neither long nor short.

Shen Jie had imagined all kinds of reactions from Yu Luying, but she didn't expect that her reaction would be no reaction.

"Aren't you surprised?" Shen Jie asked hesitantly.

Yu Luying thought for a moment and said, "If you're asking about 'I was in a relationship with Xiao Yao in the original timeline', for me, well, I can only say that it was a little unexpected."

"OK."

Yu Luying continued, "But I was very surprised that you brought us together directly."

Shen Jie said: "Well...I understand."

Yu Luying changed her lying position and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or just some fake compliments, sister?"

Shen Jie didn't make a direct choice: "We are still good friends, right?"

Yu Luying scooped up a pool of water and watched it slip away from her fingers. "I'm going on a long trip, so I'm leaving my pet at a good friend's house. It's a very reasonable plan."

In fact, although Yu Luying was unwilling to admit it to herself, she subconsciously hoped that Xiao Yao would break up.

Whenever she thought of herself and Xiao Yao together, she felt an irrepressible excitement - she just forced herself not to think that way.

However, after hearing Shen Jie's proposal, she was not happy at all.

Yu Luying's unfriendly tone made Shen Jie feel uncomfortable, but the word "pet" made her laugh: "After all, it grew up by your side, and you both have feelings for it."

"I've only known him less than a year earlier than you?" Yu Luying reminded.

"Then..." Shen Jie asked her: "What do you think of what I just said?"

Yu Luying took a deep breath and said, "Sister, did you read the Bible I gave you last time?"

Shen Jie was stunned: "I saw it, but not much."

Yu Luying smiled and said, "I haven't even finished reading it myself. I guess by 'read' you mean you've flipped through it, right?"

Shen Jie recalled: "Well... I read the Book of Genesis and saw that Abraham was called by God and went to Canaan."

Yu Luying nodded and said, "If you look back, you will know that Abraham's wife Sarai was infertile, so she gave her Egyptian maid Hagar to her husband as a concubine."

"what?"

"Hagar gave birth to a son to Abraham, whose name was Ish... Ish... Forget it. Later, Sarah became pregnant, and she persuaded Abraham to drive Hagar and her son away. This Ish or something is the ancestor of the Arabs."

Shen Jie said angrily: "These two are too inhumane. How did God punish them? Uh... so what do you want to say?

Yu Luying bowed in the water and held Shen Jie's hand: "Sister, I treat you as my own sister, really. But I can't be your Hagar, because I'm not your maid, and Xiao Yao is not anyone's pet!"

Shen Jie saw that Yu Luying was a little agitated, and said quickly: "Hey, you completely misunderstood what I meant..."

"How did I misunderstand?" Yu Luying raised her eyebrows and said, "You are going abroad yourself, so let me stay with Xiao Yao, help him relieve his loneliness, let him grow up slowly, become a mature man, and then be your good husband - why would you make such a request of me? Or does Miss Shen really think that she has the power to enforce the law?"

Shen Jie sighed and said, "Silly girl, I don't think you understood what I just said. Let me put it this way, I remember Xiao Yao told me that you once laughed at me for being a pathetic fatalist."

Yu Luying softened her tone and said, "I did say something similar, but if you say it was 'ridiculous' or 'pathetic', I cannot admit it. I am indeed different from you in this respect. I believe that the most important gift God has given to man is 'free will'. This is also what my uncle has taught me since I was a child."

"Silly girl, I know you don't believe in fate. You believe the future can be changed. Since you also like Xiao Yao, you can definitely fight for it. And that symbiosis..."

"It's this symbiosis that makes my mind confused. You don't understand it at all." Yu Luying said somewhat frustratedly.

Shen Jie said: "I understand. Didn't I just tell you? According to the current analysis of the rules, this symbiosis seems to change according to the relationship between you, me and Xiao Yao..."

"You don't understand," Yu Luying interrupted Shen Jie and said, "What bothers me is that symbiosis is interfering with my thinking. I don't know whether I want to be with him or not. I can't even figure out whether the thoughts in my mind are 'mine'? Or 'ours'? Or even simply 'his'?

Shen Jie nodded and said, "Silly girl is indeed a philosopher."

Yu Luying: "..."

"I want to do an experiment," Shen Jie explained, "If you accept my suggestion, Xiao Yao and I will separate for a while, and you will stay with him. Let's see if the symbiosis will disappear completely."

"If it's just an experiment..." Yu Luying's tone sounded a little relieved.

"When you are with Xiao Yao without the symbiotic influence, you can clearly judge your feelings for him," Shen Jie said as she thought, "If you like him, you like him. If you don't like him, you don't like him. You don't have to worry about it like you do now."

Yu Luying smiled and said, "So what if I like you? We are destined to break up anyway."

"I thought you didn't believe in fate?" Shen Jie teased.

"Okay," Yu Luying nodded: "Then if Xiao Yao chooses me in the end and I accept him, what will you do?"

Shen Jie gritted her teeth and said, "If the future really changes, and you two are together by then, I only have one wish, which is to let him leave Tian Yun to me according to the original time between him and me. Don't worry, I will raise her myself and will not disturb your lives."

Yu Luying took a breath of cold air: "You mean..."

"Yeah." Shen Jie nodded slightly.

"Outrageous," Yu Luying blurted out, "Extramarital sex is against church ethics."

Shen Jie pondered and said, "What I mean is, I just need one essence..."

"Artificial insemination also violates church ethics," Yu Luying told her.

The two girls fell into a silence that was neither long nor short.

Then, it was Yu Luying who spoke first: "Let's not go too far. Tell me first, why did you do this? Don't tell me that this is all for my sake."

Shen Jie thought for a moment: "If I say that this is at least part of the reason, would you believe it?"

"Credo (note: Latin, I believe)," Yu Luying's eyes softened: "As long as my sister says it, I believe it."

"Yeah." Shen Jie nodded vigorously.

"But," Yu Luying asked hesitantly, "You and him have been together for such a long time, and you two... have been like that before,"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't," Shen Jie interrupted, "How did you pass it?"

Yu Luying ignored her and continued, "You still have no feelings for him at all?"

Shen Jie didn't think much: "Speaking of feelings, if you say you have none at all, that's definitely unrealistic, but..."

Yu Luying smiled evilly: "I can promise you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What conditions?" Shen Jie thought, how did this become a matter where I have to beg you?

"If Xiao Yao and I become boyfriend and girlfriend, I hope you won't contact him again, and don't meet him alone again - no, just don't meet him, and just pretend that you have never happened to him in his life. Just like you said, this will ensure that symbiosis won't come back."

"No, I want to go see Tianyun." Shen Jie immediately rejected it.

Yu Luying nodded and said, "Of course you can come to see my daughter. Tell me in advance when you want to come, and I will ask Xiao Yao to leave. I will receive you at home."

"you!"

Yu Luying's sudden transformation into a "mistress" angered Shen Jie.

Since when did you become the one who arranges things for me?

This was not at all in Shen Jie's plan.

In her impression, Yu Luying has always been a weak girl, but she didn't expect her to be so aggressive towards her today. The situation is completely out of control.

Shen Jie regretted her arrangement a little. She felt that she might have been a little self-righteous.

"Is there anything wrong with this? The original appearance of history is 2004, and Xiao Yao didn't even know Shen Jie. If you completely disappear from his life, everything will return to the right track, right?"

Shen Jie stood up from the water with a grim face, and the hot water flowed down her swimsuit.

She wanted to walk away - even though swimsuits don't have sleeves.

Yu Luying stood up and hugged Shen Jie from behind. The two of them made a splashing sound. "Don't be angry, sister. I was deliberately provoking you."

Shen Jie was still furious: "Let him go!"

"I said that on purpose. You see, you still have Xiao Yao in your heart," Yu Luying explained, "You can't accept having no contact with him anymore."

"Tsk, of course." Shen Jie slowly stopped struggling: "I just raised it... I have feelings for it too."

She swallowed the word in the middle, Yu Luying let go of her hand, and Shen Jie continued to climb out of the bathtub.

"Are you still angry?" Yu Luying also crawled out.

"I'm dizzy from the soaking," Shen Jie held her forehead and said, "You're wearing so many clothes, aren't you dizzy?"

"kind of."

The two girls walked out of the small bathroom together, went into the women's dressing room, and began to change their clothes.

Yu Luying said sincerely: "Sister, you saved me, and I will always remember this."

"Why are you saying this suddenly?" Shen Jie lifted her legs one by one and took off her wet swimsuit.

"I know you're angry because Xiao Yao hid the symbiosis from you, so you want to break up with him."

"not quite."

"But this is really all my fault. He wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I forced him not to tell you. He kept it from you purely out of respect for me." Yu Luying saw a few red marks on Shen Jie's chest that were sucked by someone, and she suddenly forgot what to say next.

Shen Jie looked down in the direction Yu Luying was looking, and immediately became angry and embarrassed, covering her chest.

"...So," Yu Luying looked away and calmed down, "I hope you can forgive him and stop blaming him for this matter. I owe you one more time, twice in total."

Shen Jie was very unhappy: firstly, she was a little angry that Xiao Yao embarrassed her in front of Yu Luying; secondly, she felt furious when she thought about how Xiao Yao listened to Yu Luying so much.

"Okay, I'll write it down on the blackboard for you when I get back. Yu Luying still owes me two favors." Shen Jie said bluntly.

She began to seriously regret that the idea of ​​pushing the dog to Yu Luying was really stupid.

The two of them took the yukatas they wore in the lounge and started putting them on.

Perhaps out of the competitive spirit of young girls, they looked at each other's graceful bodies intentionally or unintentionally, and felt a little jealous in their hearts.

Shen Jie envied Yu Luying's tall and slender figure, while Yu Luying unconfidently covered her chest.

After changing into yukatas, the two girls walked towards the lounge arm in arm.

"However, I have already promised to forgive him for this matter. This time it is really not because of this matter." Shen Jie told Yu Luying.

"Purely for experiments?" Yu Luying tilted her head.

"There are other reasons as well," Shen Jie told Yu Luying, "Didn't I say that? I want to give you your first love back, and I'm going abroad next year and will be away for many years. I don't like this... and Xiao Yao is a..."

Yu Luying smiled and said, "Sister, you can lie to your sisters, but don't lie to yourself."

Shen Jie stretched out her hand and drew a question mark in the air.

The two walked into the lounge, found two sofa beds leaning against each other in the corners, and lay down comfortably.

Yu Luying said, "Sister, although I have never been in a relationship, I want to tell you about my view on love."

"Ah."

"Ladies, do you need anything?" A waitress walked to their bedside.

Shen Jie asked: "What do you have to drink?"
