You are my wife, don't doubt it!

One end of the plastic basin was extended under the dining table, and the other end was extended under the bed, so Xiao Yao could only move a small stool and sit on the right side of the bathtub. He held a large gray towel in his hand and rubbed Shen Jie's back vigorously.

His hands were strong but also very careful. While rubbing the girl's back, he occasionally used his fingers to massage the girl's back and shoulder muscles to relieve her fatigue and stress.

Shen Jie curled up in the water, feeling the strength and warmth of Xiao Yao's hands. The towel rubbed back and forth on her back, making her feel cherished and protected, and she felt very safe.

The girl coughed softly and whispered, "Thank you, Gouzi."

"It is only natural for the butler to serve the eldest lady." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Don't talk nonsense," Shen Jie said angrily, "Uncle Johns has never given me a bath."

"Didn't you have that experience when you were a child?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "There is a maid who is in charge of this."

Maid...Sister, what the hell.

"I will be fully responsible in the future." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Shen Jie didn't say anything.

In the sudden silence and sad atmosphere, the only sounds were the dripping water and the sound of people rubbing their backs.

The air around him was filled with a faint scent of shower gel, which made Xiao Yao feel comfortable and relaxed.

"A little lower."

"A little further down."

"Go up a little, then to the right."

"Here, use some strength."

"Uh...don't use so much force."

"left."

Xiao Yao didn't complain at all, like a hardworking robot.

"I suddenly feel like," Shen Jie said suddenly, "I will miss you after I go back. A little bit."

"?" Xiao Yao stopped what he was doing: "What did you say?"

"Nothing." Shen Jie leaned back and put her head on Xiao Yao's bed. "Why didn't Brother Bo call your buddy Xiong Ji? Isn't he also a potential person?"

"He hasn't awakened the fortress yet, he just went to the temple with us once," Xiao Yao said, "Actually, Bo Ge called him, but he didn't come. It seems that he said he was not in the Magic City?"

"Oh..." Shen Jie didn't really care about Xiong Ji, so she just casually patted the water with her delicate hands: "I suddenly remembered the gem fragments that the Earl of Nottingham dropped last time..."

"Nottingham - ah, forget it." Xiao Yao sighed: "Buckingham is Buckingham."

"That gem fragment, what should I give to Shi... Shi... Shi?"

"Buddha Shakyamuni, Shi Xiaolong." Xiao Yao thought to himself, what is the problem with you remembering names?

"We should show it to the master," Shen Jie said, "He is really amazing and knows a lot. He should be able to see what it is useful for."

Xiao Yao originally wanted to tell Shen Jie "I don't trust him", but he thought he would be criticized.

After all, they almost got into a fight the last time they didn't trust the White Knight.

Maybe, I am too suspicious, just like the thief Cao.

Since I trust Bo Ge and Bo Ge trusts Shi Hui, then I should also trust Shi Hui.

"I didn't expect it," Xiao Yao said casually, "and I didn't bring it with me. I'll have a chance next time."

"Hey, Gouzi, you say," Shen Jie continued to talk to herself, "I originally thought that our Brother Bo was quite powerful, but why do I feel that, all of a sudden, he has been outclassed by a monk in all aspects?"

"Okay, I'm done rubbing you," Xiao Yao wrung out the towel and wiped his hands on it, "I'm going to go out, just take off your underwear and wash it yourself."

"Dog," Shen Jie called softly, "Sit down."

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was confused.

Shen Jie didn't say anything else, but just pointed to the hard sofa in the corner of the room.

Xiao Yao hesitated, took a big step, stepped over Shen Jie, and sat down on the sofa.

……

……

"Hiss!" Xiao Yao was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Shen Jie threw something over, but Xiao Yao was so focused on looking in front of him that he forgot to catch it.

The boy raised his head and pressed one of his nostrils with the index finger of his right hand.

……

Shen Jie's posture of throwing things reminded him of the way she threw a fireball.

He recalled the battles, big and small, that had just taken place in "that world" and in the subway.

At the end of the subway tunnel, there is actually a downward passage.

This strange scene is really hard to imagine if you don’t experience it yourself.

The six of them went down seven or eight floors before they encountered a group of shadows that were not running away screaming, but actively attacking.

The process of the battle was basically that Shi Hui was the only one in the front performing the invincibility, Xiao Yao followed behind to finish off the enemy, and the remaining four people watched and gained experience.

Xiao Yao will never forget the lively figure of the petite girl in gray casual clothes.

The flame in her hand illuminated the darkness of the subway tunnel.

The narrow subway tunnel was not suitable for her to perform, so the girl threw the fireball in a parabola like throwing a softball, passing over the heads of Shi Hui and Xiao Yao, and landing in the pile of shadows in front of her.

In the dazzling explosion, Xiao Yao smelled the smell of burning fur and felt the heat wave coming towards him.

"Great Sage, please put away your magical powers!" Xiao Yao shouted, "It's too dangerous for our teammates!"

"Dog." Shen Jie's voice brought him back to reality from his memories.

"Hey, I'm here." Xiao Yao turned his gaze back to the girl in the bathtub.

The girl didn't look at the boy, she just lowered her head and wiped her lotus-like pink arms with a towel: "Silly girl is a poor child."

"Shen Jie, do you know?" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to show his loyalty (and what he said was not a lie): "Only when I am alone with you, I feel most comfortable.

"I like when we are together, it's like we are in our own little world, no matter what's going on outside, it's just you and me.

"This feeling, this peace, is something I haven't had in the past few days when I was with her, or when the three of us were together."

A touch of emotion flashed in Shen Jie's eyes. She glanced at Xiao Yao and quickly turned away: "I'm very happy to hear you say that, really. But listen to me."

"Go ahead." Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie greedily, wishing his eyes were cameras so he could record this scene permanently.

"Silly sister is a poor child. After I leave, I will contact you and meet you," Shen Jie applied shower gel on her thighs, "but you have to promise me that you must treat her well."

"If this is your wish, I will." Xiao Yao chose to answer this way after a few seconds of cautious silence.

"Ah."

Ah, Yu Luying.

Yu Luying's body was slightly suspended in the abandoned subway car, her left hand tightly grasping the sterling silver cross on her chest, her right hand raised high. She was thin, slender, elegant and charming.

The girl closed her eyes, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. She was meditating with high concentration, her lips moving slightly, and no one knew what she was saying.

Frost flashed on the ground, and circles of ice rings fixed the feet of many Shadows, making them unable to move and trapped in place.

The hem of Yu Luying's long skirt was slightly lifted up when she cast the spell. Her opaque black stockings stuck to her slender legs. Frost flowers spread on the pure black stockings, extending from the uppers of her small leather shoes into the hem of her skirt. I don't know if she was cold.

The girl's pantyhose were soaked with icy moisture and wrapped tightly around her slender calves. As she cast the spell, the frost continued to spread and the moisture in the air became thicker, making her pantyhose appear visibly damp.

Under the combined effect of frost and water vapor, the pantyhose becomes more fitted, outlining the lines of her legs and her graceful figure. The moisture condenses into water droplets on the pantyhose, dotted on the black fabric, making the pantyhose smoother and brighter, just like the night sky dotted with stars, beautiful and mysterious.

Even in such a harsh environment, Yu Luying's inviolable aura still shocked the shadows...

"Also," Shen Jie's voice pulled Xiao Yao back to reality from his memories for the second time: "What I said was that you should treat her well, care for her with your heart and love, but I didn't ask you to bully her——"

"How could I bully her?" Xiao Yao said.

"You are not allowed to do that with her!"

Ah? Are you concerned about this? Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Don't worry, my first time will definitely be saved for you." Then, Xiao Yao said with a grin.

The boy said this to flirt, and he had already prepared himself for being scolded, but Shen Jie nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I keep my word."

"?..."

"Otherwise, I won't leave it to you either." The girl threatened softly.

"You absolutely can't do that!" Xiao Yao made a distressed expression. He didn't want to talk about Yu Luying at this time, so he quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Shi Hui's move 'Boundless Buddha Dharma' is really fucking cool."

"No!" Shen Jie suddenly reacted and stared at Xiao Yao with a pair of watery eyes: "What do you mean by first time? The first time, the last time, every time, they are all mine! You and Silly Sister are only allowed to be platonic!"

"Oh..." Xiao Yao thought, let's talk about "Boundless Buddha Dharma": "So, there can't be any physical contact at all?"

"That's not the case," Shen Jie thought for a moment, "You are allowed to hold hands, but as for the rest... the rest... anyway, the bottom line is that you have to follow the teachings of this silly girl."

"Speaking of this doctrine," Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, "Do you think Brother Bo will really catch me and wash me on Easter next year?"

"How about," Shen Jie said with a smile, "you become the disciple of the great monk first?"

"Come on," Xiao Yao said, "You are Queen Mary, and you will burn me like bacon."

Xiao Yao recalled that when Shi Hui performed the move "Boundless Buddha Dharma", he first shouted "Amitabha" in a loud voice, then jumped up on the spot and disappeared from the crowd's sight in an instant. He and others were stunned for a moment, looking up to find his trace, but there was no clue. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, making people's clothes rustle. Then, a clay statue of Maitreya Buddha fell from the sky, like a mountain pressing down on one's head, and landed directly in the shadow pile.

"Buddha statues are nothing but grass"... This must be a lie, right?

This grass must have been at least three to five feet high. When it fell down, it was like a small meteor falling to the ground, stirring up a white circular air wave and blowing away all the surrounding shadows.

The dirt on the Buddha statue fell off, and suddenly, Shi Hui appeared in front of everyone, his eyes shining with brilliance. Although he was covered in dust, his temperament was even more fierce.

……

Damn it, why would I be thinking about a big monk when I see a beautiful girl in the bathtub?

"By the way, give me your home address." Xiao Yao slapped his thigh.

"What are you doing?" the girl in the tub asked, "Don't take pictures, we are living together."

"What if you are locked up again after you go back?" Xiao Yao said, "If I come to save you, I have to know which way the door opens."

"Come on," Shen Jie said with a smile, "No, since my dad said that, he won't do anything rash."

Xiao Yao felt that Shen Jie still didn't want him to know her detailed address. He didn't understand why, but felt that she was still on guard against him, which made him feel a little unhappy. But at this time tonight, he didn't want to argue again, so he had to remain silent.

"Gouzi, Gouzi, can you play the piano and sing for me?" Shen Jie suddenly had an idea.

"Ah? What time is it?" Xiao Yao said, "I'm going to be scolded to death by the neighbors."

"Just to avenge the arrow I shot this afternoon." Shen Jie showed a mischievous smile like a little devil.

Xiao Yao took great pains to pull the guitar out from under the bed, wiped off the dust, and tuned the strings. It took him a long time. By the time he finished, Shen Jie had already put on her pajamas.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yao sat on the sofa, gently stroking the strings of the piano. Shen Jie sat on the edge of the bed, her two lotus-root-like legs gently shaking.

"My brother who sleeps on the upper bunk, you who are silent, the questions you once asked me, no one asks me anymore;

"My brother who gave me cigarettes, you always guessed the coin in my hand wrong, and shook your head and said it was too mysterious;"

"What? You can't even remember the lyrics?" Shen Jie pouted.

"Your letters are becoming more and more polite. You never mention love. You said you have many friends now, but you don't worry about those things anymore."

Shen Jie raised her two little hands and began to beat the rhythm for Xiao Yao - it was called beating the rhythm, but in fact it was just clapping slowly and steadily.

"The brother who slept on the upper bunk, slept in my lonely memories; did the girl you always talked about in those days give you her headband? You said that every time you looked back at the red sunset, every time you heard the evening bell, every little thing from the past would come to your mind, welling up in your heart before you had time to feel sad..."

"It sounds good, but it does." After the song was finished, Shen Jie did not applaud. Instead, she stared and said, "Is it appropriate for you to sing this song to say farewell to me?"

Xiao Yao plucked the strings of the zither and sang again: "Did the girl you always talked about during those days give you her headband?"

Shen Jie turned her head, reached out her hands to her hair, took off the XXII-shaped hairpin, stood up, walked to the bathtub which had not been emptied yet, and stretched out her white and tender palms.

This hairpin is made of pure platinum, emitting a cool silver light, with a glass crystal in the middle, emitting a faint blue light under the light. The design of the whole hairpin is simple and generous, yet noble and elegant, Xiao Yao likes it very much.

The young man took it with both hands solemnly: "I will definitely treasure it for the rest of my life."

"Why do I suddenly feel that being with you is such a loss?" The girl pouted half-seriously, "You never even pursued me..."
