The clouds in the sky gradually changed color, from red to orange, and then from orange to yellow, like a magnificent oil painting. The sunlight gradually faded, and the light of the street lamps gradually became brighter, illuminating their faces.

Xiao Yao walked on the outermost side of the sidewalk, Yu Luying walked on the inner side, and Shen Jie was sandwiched in the middle, holding one person with her left hand and the other with her right hand.

She had not intended to hold Xiao Yao's hand in front of Yu Luying, but she did it out of habit. When she wanted to pull back, Xiao Yao held her hand tightly again.

The three of them walked in silence, glancing at each other from time to time and then immediately looking away.

In such a subtle atmosphere, Shen Jie was lost in thought as she walked.

In the original timeline, when he met Xiao Yao, Yu Luying was already "gone".

In other words, silly girl won't live to be 30 years old.

Although Shen Jie calls herself a fatalist, she still felt an indescribable sadness after learning about this kind of thing.

Fate is so unfair.

Youth lasts only a moment, and beauty fades in the blink of an eye.

She vowed to do her best to change the silly girl's fate.

What if the future can be changed? How can we know if we don’t try?

Do your best and then leave the rest to fate, right?

The first step is to investigate the cause of silly girl’s death.

Shen Jie let out the breath that had been pent up in her chest.

If the future really cannot be changed... at least, return her original lover to her, so that the silly girl can live a fulfilling and happy youth without any regrets.

If you can't bear to part with her...at least give her half of your love.

After all, I was the one who was parachuted in.

……

A sprinkler truck drove slowly along the asphalt road. Shen Jie subconsciously pulled Xiao Yao a little closer to the inside to prevent his clothes from getting dirty by the spray.

Then, she suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying looked at the petite girl in confusion.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she was gathering up courage, and then she tightly grasped Yu Luying's left hand and Xiao Yao's right hand and pressed them together.

"Sister!" Yu Luying was shocked, and Xiao Yao subconsciously wanted to shake off Yu Luying's hand.

"Hold it." The queen ordered in an unquestionable tone, then asked Xiao Yao to walk in the middle and pushed Yu Luying to the far right.

She herself tightly grasped Xiao Yao's left hand.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying both felt very embarrassed, but Shen Jie had an attitude of "as long as I'm not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

The boy felt a little strange, but he still held their hands and walked on the street.

Shen Jie's hands were small and soft, while Yu Luying's hands were a little rough, but both of their hands were very warm, making Xiao Yao feel a warm current flowing in his heart.

Gradually, more and more people appeared on the road.

Feeling the strange looks from others, Xiao Yao felt a little overwhelmed. On the narrow sidewalk, three people walking hand in hand would easily block other people's way.

Although Xiao Yao always prided himself on being thick-skinned, at this moment he had no choice but to admit defeat and surrender to Shen Jie in this area.

He couldn't stand the gazes and whispers of others and wanted to let go of their hands, but his hands refused to follow his brain's instructions no matter what.

Am I dreaming? Xiao Yao thought.

Even if it's just a dream, let me keep going.

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked to the left, then to the right.

Shen Jie's smile was a little forced, but still beautiful; Yu Luying's face was a little shy, but the light flashing in her eyes was pure happiness.

They turned into the old commercial street. The shops on the roadside were brightly lit and various billboards and signs were flashing.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief - although there were more people here, at least they were not blocking other people's way.

But he will soon feel that he has relaxed too early.

Because, at this moment, the boy heard a hesitant female voice coming from behind him.

"Yu Luying? Xiao...Yao?"

The three of them subconsciously turned their heads and tried to shake off each other's hands, but it was too late.

The person who called their names was Zhou Yao, Xiao Yao's classmate and Yu Luying's deskmate.

Next to Zhou Yao, there was a boy who looked like he deserved a beating. At this moment, jealousy was burning in his eyes.

It’s Wang Ming.

Chapter 172 Wall. Boom!

2023-04-25

Yu Luying had already let go of Xiao Yao's hand, but when she saw Wang Ming, she grabbed Xiao Yao again.

Ten fingers, interlocked.

Wang Ming's nose twitched with anger.

The man was wearing a shirt and long pants. At first glance, he looked gentle and refined, with a slightly hunched back, a long and narrow face, and a pair of thick glasses. It was easy to overlook that he was actually nearly 1 meters tall and had a sturdy physique with thigh muscles that could flatten his trouser line.

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, what a coincidence." Wang Ming spoke with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his tone.

"Ah, I went out for a walk with my girlfriend." Xiao Yao calmly stated the shocking fact.

Wang Ming stared at Yu Luying again, and there seemed to be sparks in his eyes.

Why did Yu Luying hold Wang Ming’s hand when she saw him?

Could it be that the reason why Wang Ming has been targeting me for no reason is...

No way, why didn’t I feel anything before?

Standing next to Wang Ming was a girl with a wide mouth and thick lips. She was Yu Luying’s deskmate Zhou Yao.

In class, Yu Luying is always inseparable from Zhou Yao.

Generally speaking, in school, a beautiful girl is always followed by an ugly girl. The friendship between Yu Luying and Zhou Yao also conforms to this general law of the material world.

Zhou Yao was wearing a plain long skirt and shirt, and a pair of white sneakers. She had a well-proportioned figure, but her long face made her look a little... unattractive. Her face was wide, her forehead was high, her nose was a little flat, her eyes were small, and her expression was gentle, but it seemed to lack spirit.

"Oh~~~You two~~~could it be?" Yu Luying pointed at Zhou Yao and Wang Ming with her right hand and said in a teasing tone.

Generally speaking, Yu Luying is quiet and introverted, and she would never take the initiative to make such jokes on her classmates.

At this moment, the reason why she was so active was obviously that she wanted to "be the first to complain".

"No..." Zhou Yao lowered her eyelids, but Yu Luying took her arm.

"No," Wang Ming also hurriedly clarified: "We just happened to go out to buy something together."

When Zhou Yao heard Wang Ming say this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Yu Luying let go of Xiao Yao's hand, took Zhou Yao's arm and went to the other side of the road to talk in private. Only Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and Wang Ming were left on this side.

"Xiao Yao, you are doing well now." Wang Ming said to Xiao Yao with contempt, his nose turned up.

"He's really good now," Shen Jie came up again before Xiao Yao could say anything: "I know you, you are Wang Ming, right?"

"Have you seen me?" Wang Ming asked curiously. Facing the strange beauty, his tone became much kinder.

"I've seen you, but you haven't seen me." Shen Jie said bluntly: "From what I know, you like to bully your classmates?"

Wang Ming looked Shen Jie up and down, thinking that if he had ever seen such an outstanding girl, he would never forget her.

How could he have imagined that what Shen Jie meant by "seen" were the fragments of Zhou Qi's memories that she saw in Teacher Yao's hall?

Ah, yes, it must have been Xiao Yao who told her.

Thinking of this, Wang Ming gave Shen Jie a friendly smile: "Classmate, you misunderstood. I, Wang Ming, am not that kind of person. I suggest that you don't believe everything your boyfriend says."

"Classmate, you misunderstood," Shen Jie quickly explained, "He is not my boyfriend."

As expected! Wang Ming thought, she is just a girl who is more open-minded. It is better to expose Xiao Yao's bad deeds to her in person to prevent this boy from harming the girl...

When Xiao Yao heard Shen Jie deny him, there was no change on his face.

"He is my husband." Shen Jie added with a smile, and then held Xiao Yao tighter.

Wang Ming felt dizzy.

Thinking back to how the three of them were holding hands just now, could it be that the rumors were all true?

What "Double-Wife Man" and "Three People Checking into a Hotel"? Based on Wang Ming's understanding of Xiao Yao, he always thought that these were just exaggerated rumors.

At most, Xiao Yao was just close to Yu Luying.

But I didn’t expect that the rumors that I thought were nonsense were all true!

Why should he... this maggot, the joke of the whole class, the "rogue" from outside the area...

In this case, it would be a waste of effort to sow discord in person, so let's just settle the accounts directly.

"Xiao Yao, last time you instigated Zhang Jialong and Daiyu to fight... to cause trouble for me, we haven't settled the score yet, right?"

"I know you thought I was the one who ordered it, and you even complained to Teacher Song," Xiao Yao told Wang Ming calmly, "but..."

Xiao Yao originally wanted to tell Wang Ming that it was Zhang Jialong and Daiyu who acted on their own initiative (which was a fact), but as soon as he said "but", he felt that this statement sounded like an admission of weakness and an attempt to shirk responsibility.

He looked at Wang Ming's hideous face, and the memories of the past year appeared before his eyes one by one like a movie.

In the first semester of my first year in high school, the love letter I sent to Yu Luying was intercepted by Wang Ming.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" The boys in the class threw the letter to each other, and you read a sentence and I read a sentence. Xiao Yao rushed left and right, but couldn't get it back.

The letter fluttered over the crowd like a butterfly.

The whole classroom was filled with noise and chaos, with the laughter and shouts of the boys constantly echoing. During this process, Yu Luying sat silently in her seat, with a look of disappointment and embarrassment on her face, as if she was far away from this chaotic world.

Finally, she lay on the table, her shoulders twitching, and didn't raise her head for two classes.

The relationship between Yu Luying and herself fell into a frozen valley, and it was not until May of this year that they slowly began to restore their friendship in a true sense.

Not long after the "love letter incident", after school.

Xiao Yao was sitting in his seat reading a novel. There were about ten other students in the class. Some of them were on duty, while some, like Xiao Yao, were just staying there.

Yu Luying was wiping the blackboard at the back of the classroom, preparing for next week's bulletin board.

"Why are you still here?" Wang Ming suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Yao, "Don't stay here. It makes me angry just looking at you."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao was confused as he was provoked for no reason.

"Don't you know that you are the joke and shame of our whole class?" Wang Ming said slowly and loudly.

Xiao Yao could not remember what Wang Ming said next. He only remembered looking around blankly. The students in the class seemed to be deaf. No one looked over here, no one spoke for him, and no one joined in Wang Ming's verbal bullying.

The students who were chatting and laughing lowered their voices or stopped talking. Other students either lowered their heads to read their books, do their homework, or play with their nails.

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at Yu Luying who was making a blackboard newspaper. She had already started leaving beautiful handwriting on the blackboard with white chalk, and she looked as indifferent as every other student around her.

The boy's blood rushed up and he wanted to say something in rebuttal. He opened his mouth, but his usual eloquence suddenly disappeared and he couldn't utter a single word.

He wanted to swallow his saliva, but found that he was unable to complete the action of "swallowing".

If you must humiliate me in public.

Please don't do it in front of Yu Luying.

After letting out a whimper like a wounded beast, Xiao Yao swung his fist and punched Wang Ming in the face.

I don’t know if it was because he wasn’t determined enough or because he didn’t aim well, but Wang Ming didn’t seem to move at all and Xiao Yao’s fist missed.

Wang Ming turned around and came over. Xiao Yao's wrist was grabbed by his left hand and his right arm was lifted up strongly under the armpit. He felt dizzy.

When I regained consciousness, I found myself curled up on the ground. The pain of half of my body falling to the ground could not numb the severe pain of my dislocated right shoulder.

The indifferent onlookers finally responded.

"It's OK!" Yu Luying's shoulders shook and she shouted in a low voice - for her, this was already using up all her strength.

The girl still didn't turn around, her long black hair shining like a waterfall.

"Old Wang, that's enough." Zhang Jialong or hairtail? I can't remember, with a half-smile on my face.
