You are my wife, don't doubt it!

I remembered the letter I wrote to her to confess my love for her, which was thrown around by Wang Ming and the boys in the class.

He remembered how she rolled her eyes and spoke bad words to him when he was following her and pestering her, and he remembered how the round toe of her shoe kicked at his calf.

Thinking back to Christmas Eve, she reluctantly replied to her own “Merry Christmas”.

Then, Xiao Yao inexplicably recalled the first time he saw Shen Jie at the gate of No. 7 Girls' High School.

I recalled the night when I first slept in the same bed with Shen Jie at the Rongfu Hotel.

How much time did it take from the first time I met Shen Jie to the time I slept with her? How many times did we meet?

However, compared to that kind of "fast food love" (of course, that needs to be put in quotation marks), it seems that there has been something more and deeper accumulated between him and Yu Luying.

It was precisely because of these "thicker things" that Xiao Yao could especially feel how hard it was to get this first chance to "sleep on the same pillow after a thousand years of cultivation."

Furthermore, it will lead to greater satisfaction.

In May, Yu Luying offered to help her with her lessons for the first time with Teacher Yao;

The "gentleman's agreement" the two made when they discovered symbiosis;

At the entrance of War Film City, Yu Luying confessed to herself for the first time;

In the bedroom of grandma's house, Yu Luying and I listened to "The Age of Innocence" and read "Poetry Magazine". We confessed our love for each other for the second time and forced the emperor to abdicate. However, we were interrupted by Shen Jie who came in with a large black plastic garbage bag. Xiao Yao clearly remembered that she had specially dressed in Lolita for him that day, but he made her go back crying.

in Navarra’s wedding dress, with her accidentally taken “marriage license photo”;

On the bus to Zhouzhuang, we held each other's hands for the first time and made a promise to be "good friends for life";

In Song Haijian's palace, the elf jumped into the iron cage without hesitation, holding up her skirt and running towards him in a sea of ​​fire...

Xiao Yao was like an old cow, constantly ruminating on these fragments of memories.

He felt his love aroused.

A love that was once suppressed by "love for Shen Jie" and was almost forgotten.

In this special environment and special occasion, it was suddenly activated.

He seemed to have traveled through a time tunnel in the mirror and returned to junior high school.

And Yu Luying is like the girl in the next class that you secretly like when you first fall in love.

Maybe stealing her first kiss here would be a memorable occasion.

But if the other party doesn’t agree…?

"I love you." Xiao Yao whispered quietly and softly to the sleeping girl.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Yu Luying answered him eloquently.

"Damn, you're not asleep! You scared me to death!" Xiao Yao was shocked.

"Am I that scary?" Yu Luying pulled her right arm out from under Xiao Yao's neck: "Aren't you asleep too?"

Xiao Yao was really worried that he would break the little arm: "It's my first time with you... I can't sleep, it's normal."

"Yeah." Yu Luying hummed and said nothing.

"That's not right." Xiao Yao turned sideways and raised his head a little: "I saw you were sleeping soundly. Have you been acting?"

"No," Yu Luying whispered, "I should have fallen asleep in the middle, but I was drowsy and not in deep sleep. It only took a few minutes for me to wake up, right?"

"Why didn't you tell me you woke up? Don't say you were afraid of waking me up," Xiao Yao asked, "I had my eyes open, I wasn't pretending to be asleep."

"Yeah." Yu Luying hummed again: "I just want to see if you are honest or not."

"Am I being honest now?" Xiao Yao was a little scared. Fortunately, he didn't kiss her rashly. "Please call me Xiao Xiahui."

Xiao Yao's self-boasting and claiming credit were ruthlessly refuted.

"If I couldn't feel you myself," Yu Luying said, closing her eyes, "I would have believed it."

"Uh," Xiao Yao said somewhat awkwardly, "I am not responsible for the part that the brain cannot control."

"Okay, I forgive you." Yu Luying said in a playful tone.

……

"By the way, are you hungry?" After a brief silence, Xiao Yao spoke up: "Since you're awake, how about we get up?"

"Hmm~" Yu Luying made a negative sound with a nasal sound: "Are you hungry?"

"If you're not hungry, then of course I'm not hungry either," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Why do you even need to ask such a question?"

"Then why are you asking me?" Yu Luying said, "I think that lying together in the dark and talking is very...relaxing? Very relaxing and comfortable."

"I totally agree!" Xiao Yao said happily.

This kind of love experience where both people are like worms in each other's stomach is simply wonderful, Xiao Yao thought.

"That may not be the case," Yu Luying replied, "If in the end you feel like you are in love with yourself, then there is no point, right? If every thought and every word of the other person is within your prediction, it's like looking in the mirror, then what's the point of looking forward to it?"

"Not really, not really," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "And even if it's the reflection in the mirror, you don't know all its thoughts."

"That's true," Yu Luying obviously had no interest in continuing to discuss this topic. "But another disadvantage of empathy is that I know that when you hugged me, you were still thinking about her in your heart."

Xiao Yao was startled and was about to deny it three times subconsciously, but Yu Luying put her finger on the boy's lips: "Don't lie, I won't deliberately trick you. Since I feel it, if I say yes, then yes it is."

"..." Xiao Yao fell silent.

"Besides, think about it if you want to," Yu Luying said cheerfully, "If you have already forgotten your sister, then I will look down on you."

This was a noble statement, but Xiao Yao didn't believe she wasn't being sour. "Since you can read my mind, you should be able to feel how full of emotion and how real my feelings were when I said 'I love you' just now, right?"

Yu Luying didn't say anything, but just put her head back into Xiao Yao's chest and hugged him tighter.

"Then," Xiao Yao continued to prompt her like a kindergarten kid, "When a boyfriend says 'I love you', how should a girlfriend respond?"

Yu Luying still didn't make any sound.

Xiao Yao was so happy that he almost jumped out of the bed: "Really? Are you really telling the truth?"

"You are really stupid," Yu Luying said, "You heard what someone else was thinking, and you asked her if she was telling the truth?"

Xiao Yao reached out and lifted the girl's chin, staring at the curve of her lips in the darkness.

Is it okay? He asked her in his heart.

...It would be better to find a more memorable time and occasion, right? Yu Luying let go of Xiao Yao's arm, crossed her hands and covered her mouth, and answered him like this.

"Isn't this a good occasion?" Xiao Yao looked around the darkness and said, "Isn't it of commemorative significance?"

"Ah? Ah?" Yu Luying said.

"First of all, this is our home now, a private place and spiritual space that belongs to both of us," Xiao Yao tried to persuade Yu Luying. "Secondly, this is where I was born. You are lying where I was born. She doesn't even have this honor."

"Ah?" Yu Luying said, "So you didn't give birth in a hospital?"

"Oh, that's right," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Then this bed is where my parents made me. Doesn't it have special commemorative significance?"

"You're so annoying," Yu Luying said angrily, "Let me go. I don't want to lie on this bed anymore."

"No, think about it," Xiao Yao pulled her and said, "In the future, the two of us..."

He wanted to say, "When we get married, we can exchange our first times here and then have a baby. Wouldn't that be very ceremonial?" But then he changed his mind and realized that the premise was not true, so he quickly shut his mouth.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little sad - ordinary couples can freely draw big plans and enjoy the small rights of the future, but he couldn't even give it to the girl in front of him.

When he thought of this, he couldn't bear to continue delaying the other party.

"Don't always talk to me about the future," Yu Luying said softly, "We should focus on the present."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yao said.

"At least now, it's the two of us together, the two of us together in this space," Yu Luying said. "No matter how short it is, it's always the 'now' that belongs to the two of us."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yao said.

"You never understand," Yu Luying hummed softly, "Ten thousand beautiful futures are not worth a warm present; every real present was once the future you imagined."

"...It would be great if the mirror in my room could allow me to return to any time I want to revisit anytime, anywhere." Xiao Yao sighed, "Hey, should we go look in the mirror inside?"

"Don't do that..." Yu Luying said, "It's just making trouble out of nothing."

"Yu Dayang," Xiao Yao asked in a long tone, "When does your church summer camp start? Have you decided where to go? What does the church summer camp do?"

"It's settled. We're going to Dongqi, which is also in your Sujiang," Yu Luying said, "Haven't you always wanted to go to the beach? It seems the place we booked this time is near the sea."

"So, what do we do every day in summer camp?" Xiao Yao asked, "It's definitely not going to the beach every day, right?"

"You're so annoying," Yu Luying said angrily, "Do we have to talk about faith in this kind of situation?"

"?" Xiao Yao looked at the outer clothes and trousers that both of them were wearing and asked, "What's the occasion?"

"Anyway..." Yu Luying turned around and left Xiao Yao with her back: "It's not a very suitable occasion."

"Ziz, ziz, ziz, ziz..." The sound of the vibrating cell phone made a loud noise on the glass table.

"Oh, who is it?" Xiao Yao muttered, turned over and got out of bed, picking up his cell phone.

"My dear wife"?

My wife usually doesn’t call me at this time. What happened?

"Hello, Shen Jie?" Xiao Yao answered the phone.

"Fuck, Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" Shen Jie said loudly on the other end of the phone: "I'm telling you, I'm very upset with you."

Although the speakerphone was not accidentally touched, Shen Jie's voice was still very loud in this environment, and Xiao Yao suspected that Yu Luying could hear it.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Xiao Yao could feel Yu Luying's gaze on him. He didn't bother to find his slippers. He groped barefoot in the dark and walked out of his parents' bedroom. "What's wrong with me?"

"You're fine," Shen Jie made a crisp sound like biting fruit on the other end of the phone, "I'm just very unhappy."

"?" Xiao Yao was confused.

"Why didn't you reply to my message for the entire afternoon?" Shen Jie said indignantly, "Six hours! Six - six and a half hours!"

Xiao Yao said angrily and amusedly, "Can you please stop imitating my speech? Besides, didn't I just make fried clams for you at noon?"

"You also know it's noon!" Shen Jie said, "What do you mean by deliberately imitating your speech? Aren't you having double standards? You demand that I abide by the standards you set, but you don't abide by them yourself?"

Xiao Yao thought about it and thought that what the other party said was very true: "My wife is right to criticize. You should humbly admit your mistakes and resolutely repent."

"Write a 500-word self-criticism and send it to me." Shen Jie said angrily.

"Five hundred words is too insincere, so let's say a thousand words." Anyway, he didn't have her home address.

"Tell me," Shen Jie took another bite of something, "What have you been doing all afternoon? I sent you so many messages, and even sent you my dinner, but you didn't reply."

"Your four tutors collectively asked for leave?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I had lunch at noon, took a photo of you, and then took a rickshaw back home. I asked someone to fix the water pipes, and then I cleaned the house. After cleaning, I was so tired that I took a nap. Look, I just woke up after receiving your call."

"There are still rickshaws in 2004?" Shen Jie asked in disbelief: "Wait, this is not important, the important thing is that something is wrong with you!"

"Ah, what's wrong with me—"

"Normally, you take a rickshaw, get home, fix the water pipe, do the cleaning, and then go to sleep. You will definitely keep sending me live messages on QQ, beeping all the time, and send me a lot of MMS messages. But this afternoon, there was no movement at all?"

"Didn't I admit my mistake?" Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "You said you hate me like this, so why are you so excited today?"

"I just want to get excited," Shen Jie said, "I also want you to taste this nasty feeling, otherwise you won't be able to feel it."

"I suddenly feel that you are not annoying at all," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Check that I have written 2000 words."

"Don't evade the question! You can do the spring cleaning? You must have asked the silly girl to do the hard work for you again, right?" Shen Jie said, "Tell me, did you go to Dongru with her and have so much fun that you didn't bother to send me a message? It took you a long time to answer my call - you two slept in each other's arms, didn't you?"

In? Can you take down my camera?

Xiao Yao was pacing in front of the antique display case in the living room. "What are you thinking about? She was with me when we were fixing the water pipes and doing the general cleaning. Then she went back to the hotel her mother booked to put her luggage. Now, we are looking for a place to meet up and go to a food stall."

"Didn't you say you were just woken up by my phone call?" Shen Jie said.

"Tsk," Xiao Yao said, "You must have booked the itinerary before going to bed."

"Okay," Shen Jie muttered, "Anyway, I still think you are kidding a ghost."

"Oh, my wife..." Xiao Yao felt more and more guilty as he spoke: "She is such a conservative person, right? She comes from a family like that, don't you know her?"

"I really don't know you very well. I haven't known you for as long as you two have," Shen Jie said stubbornly, "Alright, I won't say any more. My tutor is coming and I don't have the time to care about you two. Anyway, Xiao Yao, remember, there are some things I can turn a blind eye to, but you have to remember what you promised me on the day I left."

What was it? The thing about “saving my first time for you”?

"Don't dare to forget." Xiao Yao promised.

"By the way, remember to read the message I sent this afternoon and remember to reply to me—"

There was a knock on the door, followed by Uncle Zhou's voice: "Xiao Xiao? Xiao Yao? Come to your uncle's house for dinner. The food is ready."
