You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Yu Luying: "...My Bible also says, love your enemies."

"What's the matter? Are you still feeling sorry for Wang Ming?" Xiao Yao smiled but felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"How is that possible?" Yu Luying said anxiously, "What I feel bad for is you! If you get into trouble again, Director Lin won't be able to protect you. What are you going to do?"

Xiao Yao laughed and said, "So this is what you are afraid of - don't worry, I know what will happen, I know what will happen."

"You know what's going on, you know what's going on," Yu Luying glared and said, "It would be great if you knew what's going on!"

"Okay, I know," Xiao Yao comforted her, "I am a knight, I won't be a hooligan, I love to study and work, and I want to make contributions to the people when I grow up."

"You know whether he is a knight or a horse thief." Yu Luying raised her head and teased.

"Tsk." Xiao Yao stretched out his arms and rested them on the back of the sofa. "By the way, does Wang Ming like you? That's why he keeps targeting me."

Yu Luying thought for a while and replied, "Yes, Wang Ming likes me, but there are many people who like me, and there are also many people he likes."

"What do you mean?" As soon as Xiao Yao said this, he understood what he meant.

"What I mean is that he is targeting you, and it has basically nothing to do with feelings." Yu Luying told him.

"Oh," Xiao Yao continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts: "In fact, if it weren't for him, we could have sat here happily like we are now half a year ago."

"Even if Wang Ming hadn't caused trouble, I would not have accepted your confession at that time." Yu Luying told him.

"?Why?"

"Maybe it's because I don't like you and just want to be friends with you." Yu Luying looked at him and added, "At that time."

"what about now?"

“……”Yu Luying ignored him.

"Okay," Xiao Yao sighed, "but without him causing trouble, even if the confession fails, our relationship won't become that bad, right?"

"Indeed," Yu Luying nodded in agreement, "but have you ever thought that although Wang Ming is a piece of shit, you are primarily responsible for screwing up the whole thing?"

"Myself?" Xiao Yao said.

"Why don't you confess your feelings to someone's face?" Yu Luying asked.

"?" Xiao Yao said: "That's not because I'm thin-skinned. I'm embarrassed."

"Are you thin-skinned?"

"Ce~~~Well, I'm from the countryside," Xiao Yao explained, "Where we are, people are so shameless. If you want to date someone, you'll be messed up by someone like Song Haijian. I just came to Shanghai, and I didn't know that you Shanghai people are so shameless. It takes time to adapt."

"What if you send a text message? Don't you have my number?" Yu Luying said, "If you must write a letter, you can send it to the class. It's illegal to open other people's letters privately. How can you be right?"

"I don't know how many buildings Song Haijian has demolished in Sujiang. Is there anyone who cares?"

"Don't argue, Lao Yao is Lao Yao!"

"Good good."

"Or put it in my pencil case, or in the belly of my desk - but you chose to start from the last row and let others pass it up row by row. So tell me, were you just being silly?"

"This was a bit stupid." Xiao Yao admitted.

"For Yu Luying, the one who made her embarrassed and ashamed was not Wang Ming or those boys who made trouble, but..."

"It's Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao pointed at his nose.

"So, do you still blame me for being angry with you?" Yu Luying said.

Xiao Yao protested with respectful silence.

"In fact, Wang Ming didn't open your letter because he was targeting you," Yu Luying said. "Those boys didn't throw the letter around or read it out loud in class because they were targeting you."

"They just want to have fun," Xiao Yao continued, "because school is too boring."

"They just want to have fun," Yu Luying repeated this sentence to show her affirmation: "I don't care what Xiao Yao feels. I just think it's fun."

"..." Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment: "This is really the most evil thing in the world - but it seems to be the most common thing."

"Yes, I was once one of them." Yu Luying's tone seemed to have a hint of sadness: "I didn't take your feelings seriously, I only cared about my own feelings. So, falling to this point now can be regarded as a kind of retribution and atonement in the dark, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask, "Being with me is retribution and atonement?"

"No," Yu Luying told him with a seemingly expressionless face and a calm tone, "Being a mistress is the right thing to do."

"?... Ahem, ahem, what's the big deal? Don't say that." Xiao Yao blushed, "Well, it's all in the past. We are all victims."

However, Xiao Yao still felt a little relieved when he heard Yu Luying say this.

"I heard from my sister," Yu Luying continued, "when you subdued Wang Ming yesterday, you asked him why he was targeting you and how you had wronged him."

"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "This matter has troubled me for a year, including Zhou Qi's matter. Later, in Teacher Yao's Hall, I learned that Zhou Qi was also coerced by Wang Ming at the beginning, so I have always wanted to find Wang Ming to ask him about it. As a result, the security guards came yesterday before Wang Ming answered me."

Yu Luying seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"Why, do you have an answer?" Xiao Yao guessed, "It's not because of feelings, it's not because I offended him, it's just for fun?"

"I guess so." Yu Luying put the emphasis on the word "guess".

"But, why me?" Xiao Yao asked this ultimate soul-searching question.

Yu Luying was silent for a long time: "It's all over."

"Why me?" Xiao Yao asked relentlessly.

"You have been able to answer your own questions today." Yu Luying forced a smile.

"It's because there are no consequences for bullying me," Xiao Yao said, "and because I don't fit in with you demons - I and the kids from the Demon City."

Yu Luying didn't comment: "Don't think about it anymore, let's talk about something else?"

"So you know what?" Xiao Yao told Yu Luying: "I have to fight with Wang Ming. I have to let them know that the consequences of bullying me are very, very serious."

"Yeah." Yu Luying agreed, but her tone sounded a little perfunctory.

"I can still remember the situation at that time," Xiao Yao recalled. "I will never forget it. You were making a blackboard newspaper, and Wang Ming publicly humiliated me in front of you and more than a dozen classmates. I still remember that I was sitting in my seat, my hands and feet were cold, I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, I could only lie there like a dead person—"

"I'm sorry," Yu Luying looked at him and said, "If I could do it again, I would stand up for you the first time."

"If you hadn't been there, I wouldn't have had the courage to attack Wang Ming, because I've never been able to fight," Xiao Yao said. "Until now, I can still recall the fear I felt at that time, that kind of timidity..."

Yu Luying stretched out her left hand and gently touched the top of Xiao Yao's head: "But in the end you still rushed forward."

“And then he was killed instantly.”

"Xiao Yao..."

"It was the same yesterday," Xiao Yao continued, "I accepted Wang Ming's challenge, not because I felt that I had a spiritual fortress and would definitely win, because I had no idea how good Wang Ming's kung fu was. But my father told me since I was a child that a man can lose but cannot kneel. If I were to do it again, I would still choose to charge at the giant like a hill..."

"Xiao Yao, I'm beginning to understand you." Yu Luying said, "Tell me about your father when you have a chance."

"There is a chance. As I said yesterday, this kind of revenge is far from enough. It doesn't mean that I plan to continue to bully Wang Ming every day after school starts." Xiao Yao's voice gradually became passionate: "What I mean is, simply beating up Wang Ming is meaningless in itself - Wang Ming is a piece of shit, but everyone is Wang Ming. Those who cheered, those boys who snatched the love letter I gave you with Wang Ming and threw it around, all those who were provoked to isolate their classmates, those who were indifferent and just watched the fun, every one of them is Wang Ming, and every one of them is guilty of the same crime as Wang Ming -"

"But what can you do? This is how the world works." Yu Luying asked him, "You can't just beat up the whole class? Violence won't solve the problem."

"That's right," Xiao Yao leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes, "Violence can't solve the problem."

"You..." Yu Luying said hesitantly, "Are you thinking..."

"I'm not thinking about anything." Xiao Yao opened his eyes: "Let's talk about something else, for example, what is Xiao Yao's reward?"

"What? Xiao Yao, who only scored 47 points, actually wants a reward?" Yu Luying made an expression of disbelief and surprise.

Xiao Yao said shamelessly: "It deserves to be the Best Improvement Award."

"Wait a minute, I'll buy you a certificate and a red flower."

"I want prizes instead of certificates: giving a little reward to stimulate enthusiasm for learning is also good."

"Well... next time if you get 50... no, 60 points, I will..." Yu Luying raised her pretty face slightly and put her finger on the corner of her mouth: "How about I accompany you to go boating in the War Park?"

"Well..." Xiao Yao's eyes swept across Yu Luying's small cotton socks secretly and quickly.

Yu Luying felt panic for no reason, fearing that he would pounce on her in the next second. She lowered her raised foot and tried to move a safe distance away, but...

During this process, the toe of the girl's right foot accidentally brushed across Xiao Yao's calf.

A gentle touch came from his calf. Although it was just a light touch, it was enough to make both of them shiver at the same time.

Then, Yu Luying suddenly took a step back and bumped into the handle of the sofa.

The sewing box on the sofa handle fell to the ground with a "bang", and the lid of the box also bounced open and fell to the ground, making a buzzing sound.

Yu Luying stood up hurriedly, walked to the outside of the sofa handle, squatted down, and helped him pick up the box.

The box contained several pairs of socks given to him by Shen Jie, and Xiao Yao couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Why do you always keep hers... like this?" Yu Luying finally couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yao wanted to explain, but his words changed when they came to his lips: "You can also put yours in?"

Xiao Yao originally expected to be scolded or beaten for such words that were almost teasing.

Unexpectedly, the girl raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, as long as you can get 90 points in every subject."

Xiao Yao was startled: "?"

He immediately responded: "80."

“90.” Yu Luying put the sewing box back in place, closed the lid, and turned around: “I have to go.”

"Ding ding ding ding." The cell phone on the dining table rang.

"Ding ding ding ding." The second sound came immediately, accompanied by the loud sound of the phone vibrating on the wooden table.

"Go get it." Yu Luying said with her back to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao leaned his upper body back, stretched out his long arms, and held the cell phone in his hand.

oOShuheOo: Have you eaten?

oOShu HeOo: You didn’t look for me all afternoon.

Chapter 178 My mother asked you to come to my house for dinner

2023-05-01

Seeing Shen Jie approaching him, Xiao Yao suddenly felt overjoyed, and even forgot about replying a few minutes late to put on airs, and replied immediately:

"I haven't eaten yet."

"I'm just about to eat."

"I was busy doing exercises this afternoon, so I didn't have time to look at my phone."

"What about you? What are you doing this afternoon?"

"Have you had dinner?"

After sending these five messages, I felt secretly regretful.

Why are you so excited? Others sent two messages, but you sent five.

The number of words is more than the other side.

If young people are impatient, how can they achieve great things in the future?

"Xiao Yao, I'm going home first," a cold girl's voice sounded, "My mother asked me to go home for dinner."

Xiao Yao put down his phone and looked up, only to see Yu Luying standing at the door of the room, adjusting the hem of her skirt.

The schoolbag was already on her shoulders, and the sewing box that had just been knocked to the ground had been put back on the handle of the sofa and the lid had been closed.

"Oh, I'll take you there." Xiao Yao said quickly.

The cell phone started beeping again.

"Don't see me off. It's only a few steps away." Yu Luying said calmly.

Xiao Yao followed her to the soap room and watched her squat down with a pair of snow-white sneakers in her hand. She held the shoe opening with both hands and pushed a foot in cotton socks inside.

"Are you unhappy?" Xiao Yao said.

"Why should I be unhappy?" Yu Luying raised her head and smiled at Xiao Yao. "My sister and I had already reached a gentleman's agreement when we were taking a shower that day. No one will be jealous. Stop imagining."

The two little girls even reached a gentleman's agreement.

"Are we still having classes tonight?" Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

Yu Luying pinched the shoelaces with both hands and carefully tightened them: "After dinner, let's go to the Madiel Cafe to learn?"
