You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Try not to get your socks wet in the future," Xiao Yao told Shen Jie, "If they get wet, don't wear them for a long time. Take them off and change them as soon as possible. Keep your toes and soles completely dry. Don't wear shoes and socks that are too tight. Choose breathable materials..."

"I know." Shen Jie raised her left foot angrily and placed it on Xiao Yao's thigh, while the young man held it in his hand.

"How dare you say that," the girl asked, "Why do I always wear wet socks?"

"I understand," Xiao Yao nodded seriously, "So this is a face-to-face confession."

"Can you please not rub my feet when you confess?" Shen Jie teased.

……

"That's enough," Shen Jie stopped him. "Just touch and smell it a little bit to satisfy your craving. Be moderate, okay? You and Silly Girl have partially recovered their symbiosis. Don't embarrass her, and don't embarrass ourselves, okay?"

Xiao Yao didn't say anything, but just covered his abdomen in pain and curled up his waist like a cooked lobster.

"Do you really have to?" Shen Jie kicked him lightly angrily.

"No," Xiao Yao raised his head with a constipated look on his face, "It seems... I have dysmenorrhea again?"

"When did it come?" Shen Jie quickly pulled back her left leg and put her foot down.

"Just now, suddenly——"

"Wait a minute, I'll get some clean air for you..." Shen Jie rubbed the soles of her feet in stockings on the ground, looking for the slippers that had rolled under the sofa.

"No, no," Xiao Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't need that...just let the other side use it."

"Does it hurt so much?" Shen Jie asked doubtfully, "Symbiosis hasn't fully recovered yet, right? If you're in so much pain, doesn't that mean silly sister...?"

"It's okay," Xiao Yao stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his face turned pale. "It just happened suddenly just now. I'm much better now, but my waist is still a little sore, my stomach is a little heavy, and my chest is swollen..."

Shen Jie was a little worried that the symbiosis had strengthened again, so she postponed the "girl's night" plan, made some brown sugar water and a hot water bottle for Xiao Yao, and then clumsily massaged his abdomen, imitating the way Xiao Yao had massaged her last time. Finally, she held the boy's head and coaxed him to sleep in the room in 2004.

Xiao Yao slept in spring's arms and had a lifetime dream all night. When he woke up in the morning, his discomfort symptoms had eased a lot.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was that beautiful face.

"Awake?" Shen Jie opened her sleepy eyes: "Are you feeling better?"

"Much better." Xiao Yao heard the birds singing outside the window.

"Then you should sleep a little longer."

Shen Jie turned over and got out of bed, took off her black stockings, rolled them into a ball, and placed them gently on Xiao Yao's pillow, then went back to 2034 to change clothes.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie appeared at the main entrance of Longhua Funeral Home holding hands.

Yu Luying and Yu Bo were already waiting for them at the main entrance.

Shen Jie was wearing a black formal suit today, which was basically the same Dior suit she wore when she came to Zhouzhuang to launch a surprise attack on Xiao Yao. It included a hat, long-sleeved gloves, black tights and small leather shoes.

What surprised Xiao Yao was that Yu Luying was also dressed in black, and her outfit was similar to Shen Jie, except that she didn't have a hat or gloves.

The boy didn't remember Yu Luying wearing black pantyhose before, and couldn't help but take a few more glances. At a social distance, he couldn't tell whether it was soft silk or cotton, but he felt that it made the half of her calf exposed from under her skirt look smoother and more delicate. The pantyhose, like her long skirt, was pure black and opaque. This color not only made her calves look longer, but also made her look solemn, elegant and noble.

Yu Luying didn't look very good, obviously she didn't sleep well last night. Xiao Yao and Shen Jie both knew the reason, and of course they would not mention it.

Yu Bo did not wear casual clothes as usual, but instead wore a black robe.

This robe is made of black satin with a soft overall luster. It has a loose fit, a large hem, loose sleeves with certain pleats, and the cuffs are beautifully decorated with delicate embroidery and gold decorations.

With the shiny black pointed leather shoes on his feet and the white linen Roman collar around his neck, you can tell at first glance that he is a clergyman.

Seeing that everyone was dressed so formally, Xiao Yao looked down at himself with a guilty conscience. He was wearing a gray suit, one of the autumn uniforms of St. Francis Middle School. Although the style and material were good, he still looked like a salesman because it didn't fit him well. He had a hood-style student tie on his chest. Because he couldn't find a plain shirt, he had to wear a white T-shirt underneath, and black casual trousers and black sneakers on his lower body - this made him feel even more sorry for Teacher Song.

Never mind, that’s enough.

I really don't have any formal clothes, so I don't have to buy one just for him, Xiao Yao thought.

On both sides of the gate of Longhua Funeral Home are two huge flower beds filled with flowers and green plants. It had just rained last night and the ground was still wet. The earthy smell floating in the air felt very strange in this place.

Xiao Yao walked on the asphalt ground while staring at the green pines planted on the green belt.

He liked these tall trees very much, as they were vigorous and elegant.

Song Haijian's memorial service was held in a small hall in the corner. The light was dim and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. Soft yellow light was projected onto the coffin, and four invited monks sat beside the coffin, chanting sutras.

The monk in the lead was wearing a cassock that looked like the treasure of Tang Monk in Journey to the West. He wore a monk's hat and looked to be in his 50s or 60s. Although he was of medium build, he was dignified. The four of them sat beside the coffin, holding Buddhist beads in their hands, closing their eyes and chanting quietly. Every time they finished chanting a string of Buddhist mantras, they bowed deeply at the same time. Although the chanting was not loud, it was deep, powerful, melodious and clear.

When the monk saw Yu Bo come in, he raised his drooping eyelids and nodded slightly to him. Yu Bo also nodded in return.

It seems that they know each other, Xiao Yao thought. Was it at some religious meeting or CPPCC meeting?

Director Lin came, and the bald principal with a big belly also came. There were several people in mourning standing beside the coffin. They should be the family members of the deceased who rushed over from Sujiang. Xiao Yao recognized a wealthy woman at a glance. They had met once at the 7 Days Inn in Qingpu. At this moment, she was crying heartbreakingly, which made anyone who heard her sad.

Since it was summer vacation, not many students came, but what surprised Xiao Yao was that Chen Lu and Zhang Jialong also came.

"I'm the class monitor, and I'm here on behalf of our class." After a simple greeting, Chen Lu lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yao, Yu Luying and the others, "Longlong is here to accompany me."

Xiao Yao noticed that Wu Xufei was also here. This girl was also one of the famous beauties in the grade, but she was always quiet and low-key. Xiao Yao knew her, but she didn't necessarily know Xiao Yao. Simply put, they didn't have much in common.

In Teacher Yao's hall, in that big dance classroom, Xiao Yao had seen her before - although that was not her, it was just a product of cognition.

Wu Xufei was wearing a light-colored plaid top, and the white socks that were exposed between her trousers and sneakers were also plaid with the same pattern.

What a girl who pays attention to matching, Xiao Yao thought.

The memorial service was brief and there was nothing worth elaborating on. It was over in about 20 minutes.

When bidding farewell to the body, Xiao Yao tried hard to make himself sad, but found it difficult to do so.

I want to say something, but it's hard to find the identity and position I should take.

This further deepened his judgment that his trip was really a case of the cat crying over the rat - this feeling was not good.

After the memorial service, the family members expressed their gratitude to the students who attended the service one by one. Xiao Yao walked out of the small hall while chatting with Director Lin, Zhang Jialong, Wu Xufei and others.

Yu Bo and the leading monk were already standing outside the door of the hall.

He gently took the lighter from the monk, put the flame to his lips, took a puff of cigarette, and then handed the lighter to the monk. The monk took the lighter and stuffed it directly into the large sleeve of his monk's robe.

"Amitabha!" said the old monk.

"Master Shi Hui, how are you?" Yu Bo took a deep puff of cigarette and slowly blew it out in the form of a smoke ring.

The two of them moved calmly, smoke was rising, Xiao Yao looked at it from afar, and inexplicably felt that this scene was somewhat solemn and mysterious?

"There's news from the 'Organization,'" Yu Bo said in a low voice when he saw that no one was around, "Strange deaths like Mr. Song's have been reported all over the world recently."

"Shadow's activities are becoming more frequent. I just observed the aura and it seems that the deceased did not die of natural causes, nor did he commit suicide."

"It's obvious that someone is using the 'world of cognition' to do evil," Yu Bo said with a worried look on his face. "Now it's not just about crippling people, it's even mind control. The secular government and police have no good way to deal with this kind of supernatural evil."

"Father, who do you think is behind this?" asked Shi Hui.

"Freemasonry..."

Shi Hui closed his eyes and chanted: "All sentient beings have Buddha nature and can become Buddhas. Only by persisting in the thought of Buddhahood can one become a Buddha."

Yu Bo shrugged.

Shi Hui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Bo: "The 'world of cognition' is essentially the spiritual world of all living beings. Only mindfulness and a pure heart can help all living beings get rid of delusion and greed, and thus resist the erosion of the human mind by the 'shadow' and the 'hall'."

"Oh, whatever," Yu Bo said, "The 'organization' means that you should keep a closer eye on it and hurry up."

Shi Hui glanced at Xiao Yao, Shen Jie, Yu Luying and others who were standing in the hall of the funeral home and talking: "Are these the 'potential people' you discovered recently? They are quite young."

"I guess so," Yu Bo nodded, "It can be considered a coincidence that brought me here. Especially the tall guy in the middle, yes, the boy in the gray suit and glasses, see him? I think he is very talented and can become a great man - there is also a boy, I didn't bring him here today."

"Are you going to let them know the existence of the 'organization'?" Master Shi Hui looked at the young people.

"Let's observe his character for a while longer." Yu Bo said cautiously: "The Bible says, 'A bad tree does not bear good fruit.' Talent and character are like fruit and foundation. I must make sure--"

"I think that he..." Shi Hui seemed to frown, and hesitated to speak: "There is holy light on him."

"Oh?" Yu Bo raised his eyebrows.

"I saw that the light on him was very strong," Shi Hui continued to look at the young man in the gray suit, "but deep in the light, there was a group of... vague, black fog? Black air? Shh, he's coming."

"Brother Bo——" Yu Bo heard a voice: "Are you going or not?"

"Let's go, let's go." Yu Bo stamped out the cigarette butt with his foot: "Master Shi Hui, we will meet again when we have time."

Shi Hui placed the thumb and little finger of his right hand next to his ears, waved to Yu Bo, turned around and walked to an empty corner, took out a cigarette and put it in his lips.

Chapter 168 A Happy Family of Four

2023-04-21

Yu Bo drove his black car and dropped Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and Yu Luying off directly at the entrance of the alleyway of Xiao Yao's house.

"Xiao Yao, help silly girl get her slippers." Shen Jie gave instructions as soon as she entered the door.

"Hey."

"I came here by myself. I came here by myself." Yu Luying said hurriedly.

She bent down gently, opened the shoe cabinet at the door, took out a pair of white flat slippers from it, and threw them on the ground with a "pop". Then, she held the wall with her hand, raised her left foot, held the heel of her black leather shoes with exposed instep with her right hand, and took them off. Her movements were slow and graceful, as if she was performing a delicate dance.

Although wrapped in opaque black tights, the five slender toes were vaguely visible.

The socks were made of soft and smooth material. The black fabric tightly wrapped around her feet, showing off her beautiful foot curves to the fullest.

Unlike Shen Jie's pantyhose, which cost 700 yuan a pair, Yu Luying's soles are already pilling, but this makes her look more real and cute. The outline of the arch of her foot reminds people of the graceful posture of female dancers in classical dance.

The socks wrapped around her round heels made Xiao Yao want to kiss them. The girl's ankles were slender and graceful, like a delicate work of art, highlighting her perfect foot shape, and as always, made the boy's heart beat fast.

"Look, look again, do you want to stick your eyeballs on it?" Shen Jie's jealous voice sounded in my ears.

"Sister." Yu Luying had already done the same thing and took off her other little leather shoe, calling out somewhat embarrassedly.

Xiao Yao quickly turned his gaze to Shen Jie's beautiful feet, which were also wrapped in black stockings, as if nothing had happened.

He saw Shen Jie and Yu Luying put their feet into slippers at the same time, and then put their leather shoes on the shoe rack.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Yao seemed to smell a faint... milky scent coming from Yu Luying’s calves?

"Silly girl," Shen Jie said as she walked into the bedroom, "That naked guy is a pervert, a pervert. When you come to help him with his lessons later, do you want to wear socks?"

"Oh, okay." Yu Luying nodded in response seemingly obediently.

Xiao Yao: “?”

As soon as they returned to the room, Shen Jie went into the closet to change clothes, while Yu Luying sat on the hard sofa in the corner, a little stiffly.

Xiao Yao found the air conditioner remote control on the bed and turned on the old air conditioner with a "beep".

He knew very well that Shen Jie was in a hurry to change clothes not simply because of the heat.

In fact, Xiao Yao always thought that Shen Jie looked pretty good in that long skirt and leggings, but when she stood next to Yu Luying, who was also wearing a long skirt and leggings...

Well, there is no harm without comparison, this is simply persecution.

Xiao Yao looked at Yu Luying sitting on the sofa. This dress made her look thinner and taller, and further highlighted her body proportions.

The boy always thought that a girl’s height was not a big deal, until today he realized that there really is a difference in the visual effect when wearing clothes.

Xiao Yao suddenly understood why Shen Jie liked to wear shorts and short skirts.

"Could you please stop staring at me?" Yu Luying lowered her eyelids embarrassedly.

Xiao Yao quickly shifted his gaze to a small black spot on the floor next to him: "Ahem..."

Then, he said shamelessly, "But, didn't you say you wanted to be my girlfriend?"

"...Then you see." A few seconds later, Xiao Yao heard a lighter reply.

"I……"

As soon as Xiao Yao said "I", the closet door opened and two short-haired girls came out one after another.

The shorter girl was wearing a large red T-shirt, the hem of which covered her thighs, looking like pajamas. She was petite, wearing a XXII-shaped hairpin, and her smooth neck was exposed under her short hair. Her legs were slender, long and delicate, and she was not wearing socks, only slippers.

The taller girl was wearing green summer pajamas, revealing her fair skin. Her short hair was neatly combed and slightly curly, and her eyebrows exuded a playful atmosphere. She had a graceful figure and was also not wearing socks, but her calves looked particularly strong due to long-term exercise.

The girl in green clothes didn't seem to be fully awake yet, with sleepiness on her face, but her beauty was still so attractive that people couldn't take their eyes off her.

Yu Luying stood up subconsciously.

"Silly girl, sit down." Shen Jie walked to the sofa, hugged Yu Luying and sat down together, sitting next to her and introduced: "This is Shen Tianyun, my daughter."

Yu Luying said cautiously: "We should have met before."

"When you were tutoring Xiao Yao last night, I made an agreement with this child," Shen Jie lifted her smooth thighs and placed her right elbow on Yu Luying's left shoulder. "I told her that you would take good care of Xiao Yao and help him with his lessons when I'm not at home. She will get along well with you."

"Uh..." said Yu Luying.
