You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Okay." Yu Luying nodded and put the plastic wrap in her hand on half of the watermelon sac: "Hey, wait a minute, I'll take you there!"

"No need!" Xiao Yao and Yu Lihua said in unison.

Xiao Yao said “No thanks”, firstly because he was really worried that Yu Luying would suffer, and secondly because he was in a hurry to call Shen Jie back.

Yu Lihua said "no thanks" because she didn't want her daughter to look cheap, too devoted, or too "fresh." Besides, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, so what was the point of a little girl sending a boy home? Would she ask "do you want to sit upstairs?" No matter how you thought about it, it was inappropriate.

Yu Luying was stubborn and ignored Yu Lihua's private grumbling and insisted on sending her off. Yu Lihua thought the two young people just wanted to take a walk and chat, so she didn't insist and just told her daughter to come back early.

Xiao Yao secretly groaned in his heart. While he took the time to send a message to Shen Jie, he and Yu Luying went downstairs one after another.

As the boy walked up the creaking spiral staircase, he wondered whether Yu Luying was being purely honest or had ulterior motives.

The moon in the sky was like a hook, casting a soft silver glow, illuminating the rippling water on the river. The willow trees by the river swayed gently in the night breeze, and the branches seemed to be brushing against a silver cloud. In the weak moonlight, the branches looked like a group of elves dancing.

"Your mother just told me that she wanted me to eat it sliced ​​or scooped out. My first reaction was that she wanted to cut off my head." Xiao Yao held Yu Luying's small hand in his hand and swayed it vigorously as he walked.

"Don't demonize my mother all the time," Yu Luying said unhappily, "Actually, she's pretty... pretty..."

I didn't even have the confidence to say the last word "OK".

"No, have you heard a story?" Xiao Yao smiled and said, "It's said that there was a person who was eating watermelon on the balcony in summer. She took a small spoon and dug and dug. Suddenly, she saw a person rummaging through the boxes in the room. She asked him, what are you looking for?"

"No," Yu Luying protested, "Someone suddenly broke into the house, and you didn't call the police, but asked him what he was looking for?"

"Damn, that's right," Xiao Yao said, "Don't make a fuss. She asked him, what are you looking for?"

"Okay." Yu Luying compromised.

"The man replied, I'm looking for my head." Xiao Yao said in a cold tone.

"?"

"At this time, our protagonist looked down at the half watermelon in his hand..."

Yu Luying shook off Xiao Yao's hand, clenched her fist and punched his arm seven or eight times, and kicked him once, until she squatted down, covering her arm with her hands, grimacing.

"What's wrong? Are you really angry?" Xiao Yao walked over and picked up the slippers she kicked away.

"No, don't tell me this again," Yu Luying put her bare feet back into her pink bunny slippers. "Also, when you come to my house tomorrow, don't eat the watermelon my mom bought."

Xiao Yao laughed dryly twice and helped Yu Luying up.

This row of old Shikumen houses and alleys looks extremely old and full of history. The traces of time are clearly visible in each house. In the night, these old houses and alleys look even deeper and more mysterious, and the faint lights in the windows of the houses make them look extremely warm.

"Silly sister, do you know?" Xiao Yao and Yu Luying continued to hold hands and walked to a gap by the river: "Your mother is really good. When you go back, you have to help me thank your mother."

"Huh?" Yu Luying let go of Xiao Yao's hand, squatted down, stretched her bare feet out of her slippers, and splashed the surface of the river water.

"Didn't your father, no, that bastard man, say he was going to beat you up?" Xiao Yao also squatted down and looked at the reflections of the two people emerging on the water: "It was your mother who insisted on giving birth to you, right?"

"That's because the church doesn't allow abortion." Yu Luying said indifferently.

"No matter what the reason is, your mother gave you life and raised you up," Xiao Yao said softly, "Thanks to her, I can know such a wonderful you - when I think of this, I feel very grateful."

Yu Luying turned her head to look at Xiao Yao, pursed her lips and said: "Xiao Yao, you are very good now?"

"No matter what the reason is, your mother gave you life and worked so hard to raise you alone," Xiao Yao said softly, "Thanks to her, I can know such a wonderful you - when I think of this, I feel very grateful."

Yu Luying turned her head to look at Xiao Yao, pursed her lips and said: "Xiao Yao, you are very good now."

"Alas," Xiao Yao sighed, "I said that from the heart."

"I didn't say you didn't mean it," Yu Luying said with a smile, "Okay, I admit that I like you - you're so good at talking."

"But," the girl continued, "In fact, over the past ten years, I have always been thinking that it might not be a good thing for her to give birth to me."

"How can you think like that?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "If I hadn't given birth to you, how could you have met such a good person like me?"

"... Knowing you is not a good thing, right?" Yu Luying scooped up a puddle of water and splashed it on Xiao Yao's face: "Have some shame, please."

Xiao Yao dodged in a hurry, staggered, and almost fell into the river. Seeing this, Yu Luying hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.

Xiao Yao steadied his body but refused to let go. Instead, he grabbed the girl's arm and pulled her towards him. A soft and fragrant body fell into his arms.

"Anyway, your mother is much better than my mother." Xiao Yao muttered to himself while hugging Yu Luying.

"Don't say that," Yu Luying replied while listening to Xiao Yao's heartbeat, "The adults may have their own difficulties. What you heard and what you know may just be facts processed by other elders. It's just the tip of the iceberg of the truth."

"The truth is that she cheated on him multiple times during her marriage. According to the rules in your scriptures, such a person should be stoned to death," Xiao Yao said.

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying pouted, but Xiao Yao couldn't see: "She is your mother after all—"

"..."

"Okay, okay, that's your mother, if you want to hate her, just do it quietly." Yu Luying said, "Let's talk about something else, something relaxing?"

"Easy..."

The whole city fell silent, leaving only the two of them. The night breeze blew through their black hair, and the cool touch made them feel more peaceful and relaxed.

"How about, um, 80 points?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "90 points is too difficult."

"Huh?" It took Yu Luying two seconds to figure out what he was talking about: "You're so annoying! What's good about smelly socks?"

"Those are your stinky socks." Xiao Yao replied shamelessly.

"Disgusting!" Yu Luying made a "yue" expression.

"Xiao Yao, tell me the truth," the girl's fingernails dug into the skin on Xiao Yao's back, "Did you steal my pants?"

Xiao Yao knew she was joking, so he replied, "Yes, I stole it."

He rubbed his hand over the girl's back and touched a raised strap, and subconsciously pinched it with two fingers.

"Okay, 80 is 80," Yu Luying compromised: "I want 80 in every subject."

Just as he finished speaking, he felt the strap on his back being pinched by the boy, pulled out one centimeter, loosened, and stuck back to his back with a "snap", just like he was playing with a rubber band.

"What are you doing?" Yu Luying pushed Xiao Yao out again, her eyes wide open: "Pervert."

"No, I just felt like doing it all of a sudden," Xiao Yao explained, "It felt quite fun."

Yu Luying stood up, pretended to be angry, and walked towards Xiao Yao's house.

Xiao Yao chased after him: "Hey, I suddenly remembered that I bought you a gift today. I didn't remember to give it to you all night."

"I haven't learned anything in the whole night," Yu Luying said unhappily, "How can you get 80 points if you look at me like this? It would be better if my mom supervises me at home! What is this...headband?"

"Try it and see if it's suitable?"

Xiao Yao picked up the newly bought headband, gently held it in his hand, and fiddled with it with his fingers. He looked at Yu Luying's hair, gently tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, and then carefully placed the headband on her forehead.

The boy smiled slightly and gently adjusted the position of the headband with two fingers, so that it could fit tightly against Yu Luying's scalp without loosening or slipping off. Xiao Yao's movements were very slow, as if he was adding the final touch to Yu Luying's beauty.

When the headband was put on, Xiao Yao nodded with satisfaction, watching Yu Luying's hair spread out naturally from both sides of the headband and hang on her shoulders, looking particularly smooth.

Xiao Yao smiled slightly and gently played with Yu Luying's hair with his fingers, watching her smile gradually bloom, as if the whole world became brighter because of it.

"Do you like it?" Xiao Yao took a few steps back and looked up and down at the girl in front of him.

"I don't have a mirror with me, so how can I see it?" Yu Luying stroked the headband on her head with both hands. "But it looks OK, right? It's pretty comfortable to wear."

"I knew you would like it." Xiao Yao said confidently.

"Why did you suddenly think of buying me a headband?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"Well, I saw yours in the afternoon. It was quite old," Xiao Yao explained, "and then I happened to see it when I passed by the old commercial street in the evening."

“Will you pass by the old commercial street when you come to my house?”

The two walked and chatted happily along the way.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley where Xiao Yao lived, Yu Lihua's fatal series of calls came again.

Xiao Yao was reluctant to let Yu Luying go home alone, so he took her home and then walked back alone.

Although it is tiring, young people just enjoy it.

When he set out on his second journey home, he quickly opened QQ on his mobile phone.

oOShu HeOo: You guys play, I'm going to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything.

His tone was cold and he didn't even say good night, which showed that he was obviously unhappy.

Don Quixote: Are you still there?

Don Quixote:?

Don Quixote: 1

There was no movement.

Do you want to talk about it tomorrow?

However, it is difficult to overcome the uneasy feeling in my heart.

When he walked to the entrance of the alley for the second time, he finally couldn't control his hands and called Shen Jie.

Beep-beep-Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please call again later.

Beep beep beep.

oOShu HeOo: What are you doing? You’re almost asleep.

oOShu HeOo: Didn’t I tell you, especially during the first few days after you get back, don’t call me actively. It’s very dangerous.

Don Quixote: I’m sorry, I got it.

Don Quixote: My dear wife, are you angry?

oOShu HeOo: Why am I angry?

oOShu HeOo: Didn’t you have a good time with silly girl all day? You even went to her house. How come you thought of me now that she’s asleep?

Don Quixote: Sister, you still say you are not angry?

oOShu HeOo: Who are you calling sister?

Don Quixote: Sister, you know I'm doing this just to practice questions and get higher scores.

oOShuHeOo: Yes, I know. Whether you guys are doing exercises to get higher scores or you are having a romantic relationship with me, I won't be angry. I want to bring you together myself.

oOShu HeOo: But please, next time I call you, if it is inconvenient for you to talk, you can hang up.

oOShuheOo: Don’t hesitate after you pick up the phone. When asked where you are, don’t say “outside”.

When Xiao Yao saw the words "I'll call you next time", he felt relieved. He thought that even if Shen Jie was angry, it would not be too intense.

Don Quixote: It is outside. As long as you are not at home, you are outside.

oOShuheOo: Are you stupid for making me feel embarrassed?

Don Quixote: What's so stupid about that? You, me, and her are all transparent. There's nothing to hide.

oOShu HeOo: Are you still quibbling? Why didn't you tell me you were at Silly Girl's house? And you lied to me that you were having wontons for dinner?

Don Quixote: I swear to God, I didn't lie to you. I was really planning to go eat wontons. I was even walking to the door of the store when suddenly I received a phone call asking me to go to her house for dinner.

oOShuHeOo: Just go when they ask you to. Are you going to meet their parents? Are you planning to get married?

Don Quixote: Look at you... If you don't want me to go, just tell me that I won't go anymore. You are the boss, okay?

oOShu HeOo: Sounds weird, right?

DON QUIXOTE: ...

Don Quixote: Brother, sister, no, sister. Can I ask you over the phone? I can't tell your tone from your text, and I'm tired of typing on my phone.

oOShu HeOo: You hit me.

Xiao Yao was going up the stairs at this time. The signal in the stairwell was very poor. When he saw the words "You call", he went up three steps at a time and climbed to the second floor. He took out the key and matched the key to the keyhole for a long time. After finally opening the door, he rushed to the bedroom.

"Beep-beep-"

"Hello? Wife?" Xiao Yao said.

"..."There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Hey?"

"Speak." The girl said weakly.
