You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Being tired is one thing," Xiao Yao waved his phone at Yu Luying and said truthfully, "Not having the energy to think is another."

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying glanced at the door her mother had just walked out of and lowered her voice and said, "You need to learn how to regulate your emotions, or else you'll have to revolve around her all your life? As long as she ignores you or she quarrels with you, will you get so anxious that you'll miss out on important things?"

"If you ignore me and quarrel with me, I won't have the heart to do the questions." Xiao Yaoqiang forced a smile and gently pinched Yu Luying's face.

Xiao Yao wanted to go home to rest and wait, but Yu Luying refused to leave him alone.

"I have to watch you, otherwise what if you run to someone else's house and cause trouble?" said Yu Luying.

"I promise you, I won't - not tonight." Xiao Yao vowed.

"I don't believe you," Yu Luying insisted, "and at times like this, I have to accompany you."

"But now I want to be alone," Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "You've been tired all day, and I want you to have a good rest - if you do this, I will be under a lot of psychological pressure."

Yu Luying was very stubborn, but Xiao Yao was even more stubborn than her. In the end, he persuaded her to stay at his home with her mother.

"Let's keep in touch through QQ," said Xiao Yao.

When Yu Luying sent Xiao Yao out, Xiao Yao noticed that there was a darker, faint mark on the white sock where Yu Luying's right foot was wet by the lake water. The white color of the sock appeared purer in the unwet part, while the wet and dried part appeared slightly yellow. The mark showed a gradient effect, from dark to light, and it shimmered slightly under the light.

This fully demonstrates that the lake water in the War Park is not as clean as it looks?

However, Xiao Yao didn't have the mind to think about this at the moment.

When walking back to his alley, Xiao Yao used the public phone at the store at the entrance of the alley to make three calls to Shen Jie.

All are turned off.

Xiao Yao clearly remembered that the last time he met Shen Jie was here.

After returning home, Xiao Yao went to his daughter's room, but no one was there.

Since he couldn't receive any signal from here in 2034, Xiao Yao went back to his room and waited.

He did not turn on the light, but sat in the darkness on the hard sofa in the room, tapping the lid of the sewing box with the tips of his fingers.

Waiting for someone is like drinking.

It's like drinking a glass of ice-cold water, and then taking a very long time for the water to turn into hot tears one by one.

Xiao Yao felt like he was trapped in a mysterious vortex, unable to extricate himself.

The boy tried to divert his attention - listening to music, reading, chatting with Yu Luying, but he just couldn't concentrate.

He kept thinking about the missing Shen Jie.

He began to feel that his life had become meaningless, because Shen Jie had become the most important part of his life, and he could not imagine what life would be like without Shen Jie.

The boy didn't know how to deal with his emotions. Anxiety was like a swarm of termites, eating away at his bones. He thought of the good times he had with Shen Jie - these memories only made him more worried and anxious.

Xiao Yao waited for news from Shen Jie the whole night, but he never received any. He felt like he had been abandoned and had completely lost his direction and goal.

Even with Yu Luying, it’s the same.

The extreme anxiety made him want to release the pressure.

Xiao Yao submitted his application to Yu Luying via QQ.

"Wait a moment, I'll go to the bathroom downstairs." Yu Luying replied.

With a guilty feeling, after releasing the pressure appropriately, Xiao Yao leaned back on the sofa and fell into a dazed, half-asleep and half-awake state.

He had a strange dream.

In his dream, he was walking on a very desolate land.

Xiao Yao looked up and saw that the sky was gray and there was no sun, moon or stars. It was hard to tell whether it was the "sky" or the top of a very high rock cave.

There was only a little grass and soil on the land, and the whole environment was very desolate.

In a corner of the wasteland, he saw a huge stone wall. There was no door around it, only a narrow hole. In the middle of the hole stood a cross, surrounded by a dim light.

Slowly, a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes squeezed through the narrow hole, followed by another baby, and then many more babies squeezed out of the hole.

Their bodies were weak and their hoarse cries echoed off the stone walls.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel frightened. Every child seemed to be looking directly at him, as if they could see through his soul.

He felt his whole body go cold under the gaze of these innocent babies. He tried to run away, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the ground and he couldn't move at all.

The babies crawled past him one after another, and finally only one child stopped at Xiao Yao's feet, raised his head, opened his clear eyes, and smiled at Xiao Yao.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yao asked him, "Where is this?"

"I am Shen Diyun, your son." The baby replied, "This is LIMBO, where the souls of aborted fetuses and stillborn babies lie."

"There is no bliss in heaven, nor the eternal suffering in hell..." Xiao Yao recalled what Yu Luying told him on the boat during the day: "Son, why are you here?"

"You know very well why I'm here," Shen Diyun told him, lying on the ground. "It's because of your irresponsible behavior and your father-in-law's brutal oppression. Of course, the main responsibility lies with you."

"I...I promised Yu Luying that I would be a responsible man." Xiao Yao said hesitantly.

"It's too late, Dad." Shen Diyun's smile made Xiao Yao feel scared.

"Son, are you okay here?" Xiao Yao mustered up his courage, squatted down, and gently stroked the baby's head.

"Not at all," Shen Diyun said. "It's boring here, and there's no internet."

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call," Xiao Yao took out his cell phone from his pocket: "There's a signal, how come there's no network?"

Then, everything in front of me began to become chaotic and blurry until it disappeared.

Xiao Yao woke up, and the phone in his hand was still vibrating.

This dream was so real that Xiao Yao was still frightened and scared.

What is "Shen Diyun"? The name is too random, I think...

Xiao Yao used inner complaints to relieve his discomfort while looking at the phone screen.

Caller ID: My dear wife.

!!!

Xiao Yao jumped up.

--split line--

Luo Yunxuan gently closed Shen Jie's bedroom door and saw Lisa waiting outside with a tray full of delicious food.

"She hasn't woken up yet." Luo Yunxuan told Lisa: "You can send the meal in first."

"The master is back." Lisa replied in stiff and broken Chinese.

"So early?" Luo Yunxuan muttered to himself, waved to Lisa, and quickly walked towards the spiral escalator, ready to go downstairs.

"Hongsheng!" As soon as he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Luo Yunxuan saw Shen Hongsheng walking towards him with bare feet wearing dark socks.

As always, she was followed by the expressionless British butler, with her husband's suit jacket and hat draped over her arm.

"Yunxuan." Shen Hongsheng kindly stretched out his hand and held Luo Yunxuan in his arms: "How is the matter going?"

The couple kissed each other's cheeks lovingly. Luo Yunxuan took Shen Hongsheng's hand and walked to the sofa in the middle of the hall and sat down.

Then, Luo Yunxuan looked at the butler Johns.

"There is nothing that Johns doesn't know," Shen Hongsheng took out his cigar box and said, "Just tell me."

"After Xiao Jie got up in the morning, I took her to appreciate my cocktail craftsmanship and chatted with her about daily life," Luo Yunxuan told Shen Hongsheng. "Just as planned, I soon knocked her down."

"You're already drinking in the morning? You're amazing." Shen Hongsheng looked at his daughter's door upstairs and said, "Is she still sleeping?"

"I just went to see it, and it was sleeping like a pig." Luo Yunxuan said with a smile.

"Let's skip the process," Shen Hongsheng said, a hint of nervousness flashing across his face. "Just tell me the conclusion."

"Your daughter, Xiaojie, is still a girl." Luo Yunxuan told him.

Shen Hongsheng was stunned for a second, then the smile on his face slowly spread. He said with relief, "I knew that Xiaojie would have her limits no matter how much she acted."

"Of course," Luo Yunxuan said, "Don't you even look at whose daughter she is?"

"In this case," Shen Hongsheng bit a cigar with his teeth, "I feel more relieved."

Chapter 195 The Miss's Hangover

2023-05-18

Shen Jie woke up from the darkness.

She didn't know whether the darkness was so deep because the blackout curtains were drawn tightly or because it was already night.

Head hurts.

The girl sat up with difficulty, her vision blurred - she felt as if she had been hit by a huge truck, her breathing was rapid, her heart was pounding, her mouth was dry, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her throat.

She took a minute to consider whether she was sleeping or taking a nap, whether it was morning or evening, and where she was.

She tried hard to recall what happened before she fell asleep, but only some scattered fragments floated in her mind, like stirred sediment at the bottom of the water, unable to condense into a complete memory. She could only vaguely remember that she and her stepmother were drinking cocktails, and then, and then...

And then nothing happened?

That seemed to have happened in the morning.

She sighed, put down her hands, and felt her throat was so dry that it seemed like fire was about to burst out of it.

She tried to stand up, but had to hold on to the edge of the bed. Her limbs felt extremely heavy, as if they had their own ideas and didn't listen to the brain's command. She tried to open her mouth, but the dryness and the taste of alcohol in her mouth made her shudder.

Every thought seemed to squeeze her brain, making her head more painful.

She slowly raised her head and looked towards the sun room, but she only saw darkness, the curtains were closed, blocking all light. She felt her vitality was slowly disappearing, and she just wanted to bury herself in the quilt until all the hangover symptoms disappeared.

Shen Jie shook her head, trying to wake herself up.

She failed.

The air conditioner was set to a very cold temperature, so the girl crawled back into the warm bed, ready to take a nap.

No, drink water.

Shen Jie got out of bed and fumbled to turn on the light switch on the wall.

That's right, this is my own boudoir, not some messy place.

There was an exquisite dinner plate on the desk, with a bowl of rice and some delicious side dishes on it.

Her eyes fell on the fruit and vegetable juice beside the plate, and she reached out to pick it up and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ah..." The girl smacked her lips in satisfaction.

Then I touched the rice and found that it was completely cold.

Shen Jie held onto the walls around her and stumbled into the bathroom. She lifted the lid of the smart toilet and sat down.

She listened to the sizzling sound of water coming from beneath her, squinted her eyes comfortably, and cleared her mind.

……

Suddenly, the figure of a young man emerged in my empty brain.

It was a face full of exasperation.

In her imagination, that face was distorted by anger and tears welled up in her eyes because of sadness.

The sound of the water stopped abruptly, and was abruptly cut off. The girl didn't even bother to wipe it or wait for the smart toilet to flush. She jumped up, rushed out of the bathroom, and ran to her bed.

Mobile phone, mobile phone, mobile phone...

Ah, here it is.

The screen was completely black, and nothing happened no matter what I pressed.

Line, line...

Shen Jie hurriedly plugged the charging cable into the port on her phone.

Because my hands were shaking, it took me several tries before I was able to insert it successfully.

It takes several minutes from charging to turning on the phone.

The girl's eyes turned to the clock in the room, and the hands pointed to 11 o'clock, about.

On the bright side, I only slept for a few hours.

But unfortunately, this is not possible.
