You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Don't worry...it's hot, I'll eat it."

"Why can't I return it, boss? I haven't touched it, and it's still warm. It won't prevent you from selling it to someone else, right? Just return me a whole number, don't take the decimal point."

"Mom! Can we--Auntie! Can we stop embarrassing ourselves?"

"?...Okay, okay, Xiao Yao, I'm not as good as you here, I'll listen to you, if you say you don't want to return it, then don't return it, it's not that much of a difference of twenty or so yuan. Come on, come on, let auntie help you take it."

"No, Auntie. Well, thank you, Auntie. Auntie, why did you suddenly think of coming here? You didn't even tell us you were coming."

"Oh, I was going to come with you guys from the beginning. I couldn't be at ease with you two minors. I was delayed by school matters. You see, I came here as soon as the matter was over. Xiao Yao, Yingying said that your roof is leaking too?"

"Oh, it was before. I just fixed it last night. Haha, haha. Auntie, it's summer vacation now. What else can happen at school?"

"Of course not. The Chinese Medicine Symposium specifically asked me to... quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack..."

"Auntie, this way."

"Party school? You live inside the Party school?"

"hold head high."

"Your parents are against it?"

"hold head high."

……

"Shuyi!"

"Brother Yaoyao! Sister Yingying—ah, sorry."

"Oh, this little girl has a good appearance. Who is she?"

"Oh, she's the niece of our old neighbor. When she first came here, she asked Luying for help with her homework."

Xiao Yao and Yu Lihua stood in front of their home, as if facing their own death sentence.

He lowered his head and deliberately searched among a bunch of keys. Delaying half a second is half a second, and living one second longer is one second.

Is Yu Luying still inside this door?

If she was here, it would mean that we had been living together for the past two days, right? How should I explain this to Yu Lihua to calm her anger?

If she's not here, then she must have run away because she was angry with me, right?

Somehow, Xiao Yao recalled the day when Shen Hongsheng came to search the house, and Shen Jie happened to move into the mirror because of a quarrel, and thus escaped the disaster.

Should I hope she's here, or should I hope she's not here?

If I see Yu Luying when I open the door later, how should I explain it?

The only solution available at the moment is to pretend to be surprised when seeing Yu Luying, and ask her why she didn't even say hello and why she didn't answer her mother's call - and then bury her head in the sand to see if Yu Luying is willing to cooperate.

That’s weird!

What does this have to do with whether Yu Luying is willing to cooperate or not? Yu Lihua is a university professor and she seems like an idiot. How do you explain that Yu Luying has the key to her own house?

……

Yu Lihua looked at Xiao Yao with a strange look as he tried several keys before he could open the door.

As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by the smell of rotten fruit.

"What's that smell?" Yu Lihua asked with a frown.

"No?" Xiao Yao's attention was not on this at all. He put the box in his hand on the table, and while answering casually, he "casually" pushed open the door of the second bedroom, and was prepared to "accidentally" find that Yu Luying had arrived.

……

However, after pushing open the door, the small room was empty, with only a neatly made single bed.

Even the sheets are made?

Xiao Yao's heart clenched, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The house is quite big, but it's a little hot." Yu Lihua had already started looking around the living room.

Xiao Yao saw Yu Luying's luggage bag on the floor of the small room and kicked it under the bed.

That's it.

The reason he was worried at first was that Yu Luying had indeed run away.

The reason he was relieved was not only because he had gotten away with it with Yu Lihua, but also because he realized that Yu Luying had not escaped.

Otherwise, she would have taken her luggage with her.

Moreover, I won’t be in the mood to tidy up the second bedroom and put sheets on the single bed.

This means that not only did she not plan to drag herself back to the Magic City immediately, she didn't even plan to stay in the hotel - but she planned to take root in the second bedroom.

This is just like when Shen Jie got angry and ended up moving to her daughter's room. It's a small issue of sleeping in separate beds (relatively speaking), not a big issue of breaking up.

"Ah~ Auntie, please sit down first. I'll cut a piece of watermelon for you to cool down." Xiao Yao nervously pulled out a chair for Yu Lihua and asked her to sit down. Then he seriously and lively took out the chilled half watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it, and brought it to her.

I hope the watermelon isn’t frozen. I’ve wrapped it in plastic wrap.

"That's thoughtful of you. No need to be so polite to me." Yu Lihua was polite in words, but her expression showed that she was very pleased with Xiao Yao's hospitality.

Then she asked, "What's broken? Do you need my help?"

"What, is the watermelon rotten?" Xiao Yao blurted out: "Ah~ Auntie, no, no. It's just that the water pipe is leaking, I've fixed it. Oh, and the roof, it's also been repaired."

Yu Lihua took a bite of the watermelon and said, "Is this floor made of mahogany? Luckily I came back to deal with it quickly, otherwise it would have been ruined by the water."

"That's true." Xiao Yao checked the bathroom perfunctorily and "carelessly", but there was no one there.

Hopefully she's not in the master bedroom? That would be fine.

"Your parents really know how to live." Yu Lihua tapped the ground with the tip of her shoe and said with emotion: "Such fine material can add luster to any place, but it is used in an empty house..."

Yu Lihua seemed to have something else to say, but Xiao Yao didn't want to think about it. He took a deep breath, pretended to walk around casually, and pushed open the door of the master bedroom.

What hit me from the door was not Yu Luying, but the smell of alcohol.

Xiao Yao immediately noticed the poor pair of pantyhose in the trash can.

His blood rushed to his head. He took two steps forward, grabbed the torn pantyhose and stuffed it under the bed.

"Is something broken in your room?" Yu Lihua stood at the door of the master bedroom, leaning against it: "It smells like alcohol. Is it fermented?"

The voice came from behind, and Xiao Yao shivered and almost screamed.

He pretended to be calm and slowly stood up from the bed.

As a result, Yu Lihua did not come over, but went back to the living room.

Xiao Yao's heart was beating wildly and he patted his chest.

Yu Luying, Yu Luying, Little Apple, can you hear me? He shouted in vain in his heart.

Then, Xiao Yao heard Yu Lihua calling him over at the balcony door.

"Xiao Yao, come here and take a look. What's going on?" Yu Lihua pinched her nose, looking very unhappy.

Xiao Yao ran to the balcony and saw that it was the half watermelon that was left over from the night before. It had absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon for two days and had become smelly.

The young man hurriedly took a plastic bag to clean up the mess, while Yu Lihua shook her head and scolded him, "Xiao Xiao, you live alone, so you can't be too sloppy. You can't leave all the housework to your wife. It's okay for Yingying to help you clean up if things break or the house gets dirty, but you still have to have some rules for your daily life... How many days has your watermelon been in the refrigerator? You'll get a stomachache if you eat it after keeping it for so long. You can't be so careless when you go out. You're sick, do you want our Yingying to take care of you in the countryside for a long time?..."

Xiao Yao thought of "A Chinese Odyssey" for no reason, but when he heard the word "wife", he was actually a little moved.

Just as Yu Lihua was chattering and Xiao Yao was nodding like a chick pecking at rice, someone knocked on the door - the front door outside.

Xiao Yao wanted to answer the door, but Yu Lihua was closer to the gate. She turned around and ran over to open the door, as if she was the mistress of the house.

"Mom? Why are you here?" A girl wearing a simple Hanfu-like long dress with flowers, carrying a cloth bag with light blue and white floral patterns, wearing a pair of gray short cotton socks, and white trefoil shell-toe shoes, was standing at the door.

Seeing this figure, Yu Lihua was overjoyed.

"Yingying, why didn't you answer the phone? Mom was so worried about you. If Xiaoxiao wasn't here, I would have called the police." Yu Lihua went up and hugged Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt breathless.

"I turned off the volume when I went to sleep in the hotel, and forgot to change it back - besides, there's nothing to worry about. Xiao Yao is here. How did you find this place?"

"Mom couldn't get through to you, so she called Xiaoxiao. Why did you buy so many biscuits?"

"It's delicious. Look, you bought some too."

"I buy with a plan, but you obviously don't. You said you're old enough to know your limits. By the way, are you familiar with the girl on the first floor?"

The Yu mother and daughter began to chatter, as if they had forgotten Xiao Yao who was standing beside them.

Xiao Yao himself also enjoyed the feeling of being forgotten and thought it was good.

Of course, he didn't think that the memory of last night was just an illusion or a dream. Perhaps, now was just the calm before the storm.

Yu Lihua received a phone call. After calling for a long time but there was no signal, she went downstairs to answer it.

In the old house with mahogany floors, only Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were left.

And as Yu Lihua left, it seemed that Yu Luying's lively and relaxed state also left.

She walked into the master bedroom and made the messy bed for Xiao Yao.

"You...you have breakfast," Xiao Yao looked at Yu Luying who had been avoiding his gaze and asked tentatively, "I bought it for you."

"Leave it there." Yu Luying said coldly.

……

"Cinderella, it's time to have breakfast, don't put it away," Xiao Yao called again, "Look, I brought you 105 sesame cakes - and your mother's 20."

Yu Luying continued to turn her back to him, as if she didn't hear him: "..."

"What's the matter? Don't collect it. We don't live here permanently, so why should we collect it?" Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying straightened up: "You really don't remember?"

"What do you remember?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion.

His acting was so convincing that even he began to believe it.

Playing dumb seemed to have paid off, for the girl turned around and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Yao took out a pancake, blew on it in his palm, walked forward, squatted in front of Yu Luying's feet, and handed it to her with both hands to feed her.

The girl subconsciously turned her head, and Xiao Yao's pancake caught up with her, so Yu Luying took a small bite.

Then, he took another larger bite.

"I'll do it myself," Yu Luying reached out to take the cake from Xiao Yao's hand, "There are sesame seeds everywhere, and there's also oil."

Xiao Yao asked her to take the cake away, then took another fried cake and a plastic bowl of salty tofu pudding, walked to the edge of the bed next to Yu Luying and sat down, placing the tofu pudding on the bed, between the two of them.

"Do you want to eat fried dough cakes?" Xiao Yao asked.

"?"

"In addition to the sesame cakes, I also bought you two oil cakes, which are also not available in the Magic City. Let me give you a try."

"Okay~" said Yu Luying.

So, Xiao Yao accompanied Yu Luying to eat cakes while feeding her tofu pudding with a small plastic spoon.

However, this time Yu Luying refused: "I'll do it myself."

……

"It's delicious." said Yu Luying.

"What's delicious?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Shaobing is delicious, fried cake is delicious, and tofu pudding is also delicious," said Yu Luying.

Seeing Yu Luying taking the initiative to talk to him, Xiao Yao felt relieved.

It’s not a big deal, it’s not a big deal.
