You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Without hesitation, he turned and rushed to the phone.

The text message could have been sent by Daiyu or Telecom, but in my QQ friend list, there were only Shen Jie and Yu Luying.

He opened QQ on his mobile phone with some excitement and saw the familiar avatar of oO Shuhe Oo flashing.

"I've arrived home safely. I talked to my dad for a long time. My phone ran out of battery and I've been charging it. I just saw your message."

"My father and I have now reached an understanding and are getting along happily."

"You and silly sister should study hard and don't touch her!"

Xiao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly replied:

"He didn't give you any trouble, did he? Thank God, I'm relieved that he's fine."

On second thought, I deleted this sentence and changed it to "I know."

Just as he was about to press send, he changed his mind, stopped, and put the phone aside.

"Study." He turned around and said to Yu Luying with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Yu Luying sat on the hard sofa in the room, a little dazed.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying cleaned the table together and wiped it clean with a rag.

"Tianyun... aren't you full?" Yu Luying said worriedly.

"She deserves it!" Xiao Yao took out the stack of papers of Song Haijian's inheritance and said, "She did it herself, so she should be starved for a few meals."

Yu Luying smiled reluctantly: "Don't blame Tianyun. If I were in her shoes, I might be even worse than her... even worse than, what?"

"I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." Xiao Yao said apologetically.

The test paper he took today was chemistry. Actually, when Xiao Yao was in the third year of junior high school, his chemistry was quite good. But after coming to Shanghai, he seemed to be out of touch again. It was like a new system, making him have no idea where to start.

Thick papers were piled up around them, and they were working on the same test paper. The summer afternoon sun shone through the thin curtains onto the table. It was very quiet around them, with only the faint sounds of papers turning and pens scratching the test papers, and the humming sound of the old air conditioner.

Xiao Yao inadvertently turned his head to look at Yu Luying, who was concentrating on writing the questions, a strand of hair on her forehead fluttering gently, and her fingers moving on the test paper. Xiao Yao couldn't help but be attracted by her profile, and a wave of tenderness rose in his heart.

He observed her secretly, as if trying to find something in her expression. Were her eyes red? However, her expression remained calm and focused, without any fluctuation.

The short black hair was held up by a red headband, which gave off a faint fragrance that made him want to bury his nose in it and take a deep breath. Xiao Yao noticed that her headband was a little too old.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot.

Xiao Yao took the phone, pressed the send button, and sent the message "Got it".

The reason why I deliberately delayed sending it for a while was to avoid making Shen Jie feel that I only knew how to hold the phone and wag my tail at her.

Maybe, I should learn to control my emotions and stop biting other people's butts all the time. After all, the book says that "distance creates beauty."

Xiao Yao continued to concentrate on the test paper in his hand until he heard the sound of a girl sniffing several times in a row.

The boy felt water running across his face, looked up in confusion, and was then shocked.

Yu Luying's face was covered with tears at some point, but she forced herself not to make a sound.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Xiao Yao hurriedly grabbed the tissue on the table and tried to wipe the girl's face in a panic.

Yu Luying raised her head and subconsciously wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then reached out to take the tissue from Xiao Yao's hand. Her weak voice could not hide her inner sadness: "It's nothing, just let me be alone for a while."

Of course Xiao Yao wouldn't just "leave her alone" like that.

He gently held the girl's hand and said softly, "It's wrong for Tianyun to bully you. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Yu Luying's tears began to flow again. She buried her head in her shoulders, leaned on the table, and sobbed softly.

Xiao Yao stood up, walked behind her, hugged her gently, comforted her, and let her vent her inner sadness in his arms.

He felt the warmth and softness of her body, her temperature and breath, the smell of her soapy water.

He could feel her emotions and feelings, and due to the symbiotic influence, he became as sad as she was, and his tears fell on the girl's white neck.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Xiao Yao said with a sob.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt very... pathetic," Yu Luying said softly, "I suddenly don't know how I, Yu Luying, became like this."

"What kind?" Xiao Yao said.

"It's like being someone's concubine," the word "concubine" was so light that it was almost inaudible, "or like being someone's stepmother. We are all about the same age, and we are all the same age, but I am bullied by the 'stepdaughter' and I have to put on a smiling face... I feel wronged."

Xiao Yao wiped his face and said, "I'll deal with her later."

"Don't do that," Yu Luying shook her head. "If I cause you to quarrel and become unhappy because of me, it will only make me feel worse about myself. Don't you understand?"

Xiao Yao didn't say anything else, just touched her head: "I'm really... sorry."

Yu Luying suddenly turned around and hugged him.

!

……

In this quiet environment, they leaned against each other, quietly feeling each other's presence. Gradually, Yu Luying's emotions stabilized, and she slowly left Xiao Yao's arms, her face still flushed: "Thank you, Xiao Yao."

"Thank me for nothing..." Xiao Yao said.

They stared at each other, and there seemed to be a new understanding and tacit understanding between their eyes.

"I'm done with my nerves," Yu Luying reached out the used tissue in her hand and wiped Xiao Yao's face: "Continue working on the questions!"

"Oh! Do the questions!" Xiao Yao sat back in his original seat.

Chapter 177 Business or Fun?

2023-04-30

An afternoon passed quickly. Xiao Yao finished a physics paper with Yu Luying's help. After correcting and explaining it, he started the third math paper without a rest.

This time, Yu Luying asked Xiao Yao to complete the test independently and collect the papers according to the test time, which was equivalent to a mock test.

"Time's up." After the alarm on Yu Luying's mobile phone rang, she immediately put down the pen in her hand and held one side of the test paper with both hands.

"Give me one more minute, it will be done soon..." Xiao Yao held the paper tightly with sweat all over his forehead.

"During the college entrance examination, if you delay submitting your paper, you will be considered cheating and your score will be cancelled!"

Is this happening?

Xiao Yao had no choice but to let go and watched Yu Luying marking the test papers nervously, his eyes full of anxiety.

"7". Yu Luying wrote this number at the top of the paper with a red pen. Xiao Yao's eyes widened when he saw it, and he almost jumped up with joy.

Yu Luying looked at Xiao Yao thoughtfully, then wrote a "7" in front of the "4", and finally drew two lines under it.

"Ahhh!" Xiao Yao covered his face and said, "I thought I could pass this time."

"Not bad," Yu Luying smiled. "Teacher Yao always said you were smart when he was alive. I always knew that was not a compliment."

"?" Xiao Yao had three black lines on his head: "My teacher Yao is not dead yet?"

"This test paper is not the easiest," Yu Luying said, her hands shaking as she dropped the paper. "I remember you only scored 20 or so in math in the midterm exam, but you're almost 50 after just two tests. I think you'll pass in less than a week!"

"If one course takes a week..." Xiao Yao held his head with both hands and lay on the table.

The red sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow gradually slipped away from the bedroom, making the room a little darker.

"I have to go," Yu Luying stood up and said, "Let's go to the cafe for tutoring in the future. I don't really want to have a conflict with Tianyun again."

"Wait a moment." Xiao Yao said as he opened the closet door and dived in.

The good news was that the closet door opposite was not blocked, the bad news was that there was no one in the room opposite.

I hope it's just a normal outing?

Xiao Yao returned to his room: "She's not here."

"Oh." Yu Luying said.

Xiao Yao took the phone that was charging nearby and opened QQ with some trepidation.

The last message is - Don Quixote: Got it.

He checked his text message inbox again, but there was no new message from anyone.

Xiao Yao let out a long sigh. There was really nothing you could say about these mother and daughter.

Don't ever expect her to send you a message on her own initiative in this life.

Everything became the same as before she ran away from home and came to him with a black plastic bag.

It's the character of a person...

Xiao Yao shook his head vigorously, trying not to take it too seriously.

Men should be free and easy! I don't care!

With a slight, well, slightly stronger than a slight, unhappiness, Xiao Yao looked at Yu Luying who was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a magazine.

Today, Yu Luying was wearing an elegant white dress, which reached just below her knees, revealing a pair of slender and fair calves. Her short hair was neat and tidy, and the red headband highlighted her fresh and lovely temperament. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like stars. It was this face that had haunted Xiao Yao for the past year, er, nine months?

The girl was wearing a pair of soft, comfortable cotton socks. The white background was covered with pink flowers and green leaves, covering the entire pair of socks. There was a pair of small bows on the socks, which reminded Xiao Yao of the ribbons on beautifully wrapped gifts. The socks wrapped around her calves neither too tight nor too loose, making one want to touch their softness.

Obviously, Yu Luying did not obey Shen Jie's instructions.

Xiao Yao sat down next to Yu Luying.

Because she was sitting with her legs crossed, the girl's small feet in cotton socks with pink flowers and green leaves were not far from him. He could reach them if he bent down slightly.

Shen Jie's words before she left echoed in her ears again: "You and Silly Sister are only allowed to be platonic!"

Including the QQ message sent at noon that also said something like "Don't touch her!", right?

So, moving your feet is not an option.

It is better to obey the imperial decree and live in peace.

……

Still can't help thinking about this.

"You can hold hands, but as for the rest, the bottom line is that you have to follow the teachings of this silly girl!"

Holding hands is allowed, but what about hugging? Hugging should not violate any doctrine, and what about kissing? It should not violate any doctrine either. But dating two girls at the same time is itself abnormal, right?

While Xiao Yao was daydreaming, he subconsciously rubbed his thigh with his hand.

"When did you start practicing Kung Fu? Did your sister teach you?" Yu Luying suddenly broke the silence.

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment: "No, I learned it during these few battles as Don Quixote."

"Can the fortress's abilities also work in reality?"

"Well, at present, it seems that once you have learned the knowledge and skills, you have learned them. The symbol changes from odd to even but not from even to odd. It depends on the quadrant. It can be used anywhere." Xiao Yao explained: "So Shen Jie is at a disadvantage because she can't make fireballs with her hands in reality."

"Oh..." Yu Luying hesitated for a few seconds: "I noticed that you have a bad temper sometimes."

"You don't like me fighting, right?" Xiao Yao said gently, "Don't worry, I won't make it a habit."

Yu Luying pursed her lips and said, "And Tianyun too, do you really beat her often?"

"What a joke," Xiao Yao slapped himself on the forehead, "I..."

After a long pause, Xiao Yao still couldn't figure out what was going on. Then, he half-jokingly asked, "You seem to always worry about my domestic violence. It seems like you are particularly sensitive in this regard?"

"No." Yu Luying answered quickly and softly, while lowering her head to look at her toes.

"Next you should ask me whether I have beaten Shen Jie, huh?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"I don't think you dare," Yu Luying continued to look at her toes, "You can't afford to offend her."

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then I can't afford to offend you."

"Come on." Yu Luying said.

"Do you feel in your heart that I shouldn't have fought with Wang Ming yesterday?" Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

"That's not the case," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao, "It's not excessive to teach a lesson to someone like Wang Ming, just don't make a big fuss and get yourself into trouble."

"Ah."

"But you said yesterday that it was far from enough," Yu Luying expressed her concerns, "I'm afraid that you'll take advantage of your current abilities and gang up on others to bully others when school starts."

"Eh - why didn't I think of that?" Xiao Yao deliberately said: "I'll call Brother Long and Daiyu later. Doesn't your scripture say that an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth..."
