You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Are you full? Let's go," Xiao Yao stood up with a casual look and stretched himself: "Where are we going to play?"

“It seems…” Yu Luying also stood up and pushed the plastic chair towards the wooden table. “Isn’t that all there is in the War Park? Let’s just take a walk and then go back—you still have to do another test paper tonight!”

Xiao Yao was about to speak when suddenly, a black cat with shiny fur ran past his and Yu Luying's feet.

The black cat had shiny fur and looked very healthy and strong. It was slender and agile, and it quickly passed by the two people's feet and then disappeared into the grass.

Although it was just a flash, Xiao Yao felt that the black cat was staring at him. Its sudden appearance made him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Is the black cat the witch's servant?" Xiao Yao's expression suddenly became serious, and he had an ominous premonition.

He knew that black cats were usually considered unlucky symbols, and they might represent disaster, misfortune, or bad luck. In the past, he would not have taken such nonsense seriously, but now he had formed a conjecture that the flower girl was a witch, and the cat was either her pet or her incarnation.

Yu Luying frowned slightly: "Yes, its name is Az Cat. Xiao Yao, why are you becoming more and more superstitious now? You are almost becoming more superstitious than my mother. I don't like you like this."

"No..." Xiao Yao considered whether to tell Yu Luying about the flower girl, but finally decided not to spread anxiety to this girl and spoil her fun - at least not today.

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying walked hand in hand along Swan Lake. The water was clear, but the bottom was far from visible. The breeze blew across the water, creating ripples.

Their feet stepped on the stone road by the lake, making crisp footsteps. Xiao Yao could feel that Yu Luying's shoes and socks had already dried. The surrounding scenery was very pleasant, and the trees and lawns by the lake exuded a fresh scent.

It was around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and the number of tourists had decreased, but there were still some people walking along the lake or sitting on benches to rest. The sunlight in the sky shone through the clouds onto the lake, forming a glittering light belt that made people feel warm and comfortable.

"Is it okay for you to drink something so cold just because your period is over?" Xiao Yao walked while swinging Yu Luying's arm vigorously like a primary school student.

"It's okay, it's been several days." Yu Luying looked at him strangely.

"Oh, is your period usually very regular? Always every 28 days?" Xiao Yao asked casually.

"...Not that accurate," Yu Luying thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes it's not very accurate, but only for a day or two at most. Why are you asking this?"

"Oh," Xiao Yao said, "It's my period now. I also want to be able to calculate the days so that I can be mentally prepared in advance."

"……Oh."

When Yu Luying was thinking about how to explain to Xiao Yao, the latter spoke again: "Hey, do you know that if a girl is usually quite regular, and then suddenly she is late for several days, what is the general reason?"

"How many days is a few days?" Yu Luying said casually: "Generally, bad mood, anxiety, tension, and lack of sleep can lead to irregular periods."

"Bad mood, anxiety, lack of sleep," Xiao Yao repeated, "Is that all?"

"Mental stress is the most common cause," Yu Luying explained. "The other possible cause is illness, such as ovarian dysfunction, polycystic ovary, endometriosis, thyroid problems, diabetes, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc."

What the hell, diabetes? Xiao Yao smiled and said, "She is worthy of being a doctor's daughter."

"He's a professor of Chinese medicine." Yu Luying corrected him, "Do you want to hear how Chinese medicine theory explains irregular periods?"

Xiao Yao said honestly, "Thanks, I don't want to hear it."

"The other thing is that I took the wrong medicine," Yu Luying sighed, "contraceptive pills, hormone drugs, etc."

"Avoid..." Xiao Yao said.

"Don't you know that some girls will take birth control pills before important exams to stagger their period and the exams?" said Yu Luying.

"??? That's outrageous!" Xiao Yao subconsciously shouted: "Have you eaten it before?"

"I won't do such a thing." Yu Luying said coldly, "Those people are crazy."

"It feels weird just thinking about it." Xiao Yao commented.

"Anyway, you can observe it for a week," Yu Luying said in her final closing statement. "If it's more than a week, you should go to the hospital and do some tests. Nothing can be hidden."

After saying this, Yu Luying smiled secretly.

"Can't hide it?" Xiao Yao just realized what the other party meant after he repeated these three words.

Yu Luying suddenly stopped and her face turned cold.

"Let's go? What's wrong?" Xiao Yao gently pulled her.

Yu Luying pulled her hand out of Xiao Yao's palm with force: "What do you mean?"

"What what do you mean?" Xiao Yao's heart tightened.

"Shen Jie's period is late, right?" Yu Luying narrowed her eyes.

"I just followed..." Xiao Yao said, "Yes, she told me that last night."

"You're worried that you might be pregnant, right?" Yu Luying stared at Xiao Yao, as if she wanted to pierce him.

"How can you be pregnant?" Xiao Yao laughed dumbly. "We are innocent and have never done anything like that. How can we be pregnant, pregnant?"

"Really?" Yu Luying questioned.

"Of course not," Xiao Yao swore, "We are both underage. If something happened, the book would be gone."

"What book?" Yu Luying said coldly, "I'm asking you a serious question. Don't think you can avoid the question by deliberately talking nonsense."

"Okay, okay, that's what I meant anyway," Xiao Yao said with beads of sweat on his forehead. "Why would you think that? Her period is late, and I'm worried about her health. I just asked you when I thought of it. Isn't that reasonable?"

"That makes sense," Yu Luying nodded. "If you hadn't asked me on the boat where the soul of an aborted fetus would go, you would have never been a theology enthusiast."

"This is my new hobby," Xiao Yao told Yu Luying, "Didn't you see how serious I am in my catechism class now?"

"Let me ask you again," Yu Luying bit her lower lip and asked, "Have you ever had sex with her?"

Xiao Yao studied the expression on the girl's face - to say "horrible" seemed a bit of an exaggeration, but it was indeed "iron": he clearly saw the shadow of Yu Lihua on the girl's face.

He had no doubt that if the girl heard the answer "yes", she would turn away.

And it can't be coaxed into good shape in a day or two.

"No." Xiao Yao told the truth.

"You swear." Yu Luying made this request.

"You must not swear: not by the heaven, for it is God's throne; not by the earth, for it is His footstool; not by Jerusalem, for... I can't remember the rest," Xiao Yao said stiffly, "I just learned it yesterday."

"You recited it well." Yu Luying gave an uncomfortable smile and turned away.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao chased after her and grabbed Yu Luying's arm, but the latter did not shake it off.

"Let's go back," Yu Luying said tiredly, "We are tired from playing, and it is getting late."

Xiao Yao didn't want his first date with Yu Luying after they confirmed their relationship to end in such an unpleasant atmosphere, but he knew very well that he could no longer change the situation.

The sky had darkened slightly, and the street lights on both sides of the War Park trail were gradually lit up one by one.

The faint light shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.

"It looks very good." Xiao Yao said.

"Yeah." Yu Luying nodded and let Xiao Yao hold her arm.

"How do we get back?"

"I'm tired, let's take a taxi. It's not far anyway."

"Take the No. 6 tram. I want to ride the tram with you. It feels good."

"up to you."

Chapter 194 Your daughter Xiaojie is still a daughter

2023-05-17

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying took the No. 6 tram home together.

In the dusk that had just fallen, the street lights had already come on, embellishing the entire city.

This shabby No. 6 tram, with two thick and long black braids, moved slowly on the street, making a low humming sound.

Just looking at the appearance of this tram, one can't help but suspect that it just came from the 90s through a time tunnel. There are not many people in the tram, most of them choose other means of transportation. Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sit in the two seats by the window in the back row, and can see the night outside the window and the flickering lights of the street lamps.

The lights inside the tram are turned off, and they are only turned on when it stops to pick up or drop off passengers.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. Xiao Yao lowered his head and played with his phone, but Shen Jie still didn't show up.

Yu Luying sat next to him, leaning slightly away, deliberately not wanting to talk to him.

There was no obvious expression on her face, and her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

"Little Apple."

……

"Yu Luying."

"Yeah." Yu Luying turned her body back a little.

"Do me a favor." Xiao Yao said tiredly.

"What help?" Yu Luying said.

"Your sister has been out of contact for a whole day. I'm almost annoyed to the point of exploding," Xiao Yao said, holding his forehead. "If you continue to do this to me at this time, I feel like I'm about to sink into a sea of ​​despair."

Yu Luying: "..."

"Besides," Xiao Yao told Yu Luying, "this is also our first date after becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. I hope it can have a happy ending that people will recall. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yu Luying stretched out her slender arms, held Xiao Yao, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Yao said, "Thank you, thank you very much."

"You still can't get in touch with your sister?" Yu Luying said.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I want to contact Zhou Xiaoying and get her home address, and then-"

"Don't be impulsive." Yu Luying said, took out her cell phone and dialed Shen Jie's number again.

"Hello, the number you dialed is turned off."

"It's turned off." Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao.

"Hiss——" Xiao Yao took a breath of cold air.

"Don't be so impulsive and go to someone's house to complain when you have a disagreement," Yu Luying said. "Don't go and make a scene when there was nothing wrong and end up causing trouble instead."

"I know," Xiao Yao said softly, "I don't want to mess around, but now I feel uncomfortable just waiting like this and doing nothing."

"I understand," Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao, "but if a man wants to accomplish something, he must be able to keep his composure, right?"

"......Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"Big Bunny, I want to tell you something." Yu Luying was silent for a while and then spoke to Xiao Yao seriously.

"Well, you say." Xiao Yao gently stroked the girl's arm.

"As for me, I won't ask about your affairs with my sister," Yu Luying weighed her words carefully. "You know what is right and what is wrong, and I don't need to tell you. What you two did and didn't do is a matter between you and God, and I really shouldn't forcefully ask."

Xiao Yao listened to these ambiguous words, closed his mouth, and waited for her next words.

"But I always hope that my friend," Yu Luying said, "is a man with a strong sense of responsibility."

"I have," Xiao Yao declared.

"No matter what you did or didn't do in the past," Yu Luying said softly, "and no matter what you will do in the future, I only have one requirement for you, and that is to have a minimum bottom line."

"What you mean by bottom line is..." Xiao Yao carefully confirmed with the other party: "I know that premarital sex is against the commandments..."

"The bottom line means, at the very least, at least, whether you are with Shen Jie or... with anyone else, you must take precautions," Yu Luying stared at the back of the chair in front of her. "This is to be responsible for the girl. That kind of thing is very harmful to a girl's body, and it is very likely to ruin a girl's life, or even her future."

"...I know." Xiao Yao said.

"If my father had had this kind of bottom line back then, instead of just caring about himself," Yu Luying whispered softly, "then there would be no me in this world, and my mother's life would not be like this, completely dragged down. She should have had a better life, she could have had her own life."

Better without you? You can't be serious?

"But I don't think you're a burden," Xiao Yao said, "nor do I think your presence is a bad thing."

Xiao Yao noticed that Yu Luying's face was not looking good, so he added: "But I understand what you mean."

So this is what you care about, Xiao Yao thought.

"Yes, that's it." Yu Luying nodded.

Xiao Yao held the other's hand tightly and continued to stroke her arm with his other hand: "You have my word."

"Yeah." Yu Luying nodded.

"So, we are cool now?" Xiao Yao squeezed Yu Luying's palm.

"Cool." said Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao went to Yu Luying's house for dinner. Yu Luying wanted to take him to the Madiel Café to practice his homework, but Xiao Yao refused on the grounds that he was too tired.
