You are my wife, don't doubt it!

I, Xiao, grew up and aged day by day over the years, until one day, for example, thirty years later, I became a pot-bellied, unshaven, and weathered middle-aged man.

At this time, by chance, I took a time machine or a mirror back to 2004 and met my young wife.

As a result, this little girl looked down on me just because of my age. She was polite on the surface, but actually kept a distance from me. How lost and heartbroken would I feel?

The love between Shen Jie and I must transcend the boundaries of time, space and age, the young man made up his mind secretly in his heart.

There is also a third question, which is also a very important one.

After meeting the future Shen Jie, I will definitely get some information about the future world from her.

Xiao Yao wanted to know about the information about the future world, but at the same time he wanted to avoid knowing it.

Otherwise, he would have hung Shen Changsheng up, pointed a belt at her, and forced her to confess.

So, after meeting the future Shen Jie, could he still tacitly and implicitly avoid talking about the future?

It must be impossible.

I will definitely ask her many questions and get many answers.

Xiao Yao had no idea how much impact and influence these answers would have on his current life.

Give an inappropriate example.

Xiao Yao is like a poor person who is afraid to check how much money is in his pocket, afraid to check his bank card balance and credit card bill.

If he writes online articles in the future, he will definitely be afraid to check the daily subscriptions.

In fact, being an ostrich can save many problems from being solved, but it can’t solve any problems. The truth about the “future” is like his bank card balance, like his subscription number - they are there, calling him, like Pandora’s box, like the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the Garden of Eden, always making him eager to try.

Xiao Yao walked along like this, his mind wandering, his thoughts wandering, until he arrived at the entrance of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church.

Just as I was about to push the door open, my cell phone rang again.

Xiao Yao stopped, glanced at the incoming caller without any expectation, and answered the call expressionlessly.

"Hey, Mr. Xiong, I thought you were dead."

"..."

"God and heaven are fair, you are the one who appears and disappears like a ghost, like a dragon wagging its tail without a trace."

"..."

"That's about right. Where did you hear about it?"

"..."

"Tieba Tieba, another Tieba. I really need to go to Canhua Internet Cafe and take a closer look. These bastards are all trained like spies..."

"..."

"What can I do? I'm just asking around for her address like a headless fly. Once I get the address, I'll go and kill her."

"..."

"Then we must use courtesy before force, present facts and reason, appeal to her emotions, enlighten her with reason, and use love to influence her father..."

"..."

"So what? Should I tie her up and take her out? That's not a long-term solution..."

"..."

"I have also thought about meeting Shen Jie through the mirror first, at least to discuss it first... But at the moment, it seems that there is a huge hall between us, so it's not that simple."

"..."

"I don't know if it's her father's. I think it should be, but I have no evidence."

"..."

"It's quite impressive. It's much better than Teacher Yao's."

"..."

"Specifically, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I heard Shen Jie mention it on the phone, saying it was a skyscraper..."

"..."

"Tsk, first of all, the temple is terrifying according to Shen Jie's description. I may not be able to defeat her. Shen Jie said that she couldn't even use her skills in there. Secondly, I don't even know which direction her door opens, let alone find the entrance to the temple. Thirdly, this broken temple always kills or injures people. If I kill her father, will Shen Jie forgive me...?"

"..."

"Call the police? Are you crazy? I'm really upset and I'm not in the mood to joke with you..."

"..."

"Are you fucking serious? Who am I to call the police?"

"..."

"What do you mean by illegal imprisonment? She is a minor, you know? As a minor, her father can legally exercise guardianship rights!"

"..."

"If you put it that way, this seems to be a possible idea? But..."

"..."

"Youth Office and Avengers? That's indeed an idea..."

"..."

"Speak slower. (XI) Parents or other guardians may not allow or force minors to marry, or enter into marriage contracts for minors... Which law is this in? The Law on the Protection of Minors?"

"..."

"Okay, but have you ever thought about it? This will completely break up with Shen Jie's father. There will be no way out. Are you really going to elope and get married?"

"..."

"What do you mean I covet other people's property? Okay, okay, I get it. I won't tell you anymore. My mind is in a mess right now."

"..."

"Okay, keep in touch." Xiao Yao said and hung up the phone.

"Oh, it's really a headache..." Xiao Yao rubbed his temple as he walked into the church.

If I tell Yu Bo about this matter with Shen Jie, I don't think she can help much, right?

What on earth does he want from me?

Xiao Yao searched the first and second floors inside and out, but couldn't find Yu Bo.

What are you doing...

"Beep-beep-beep-"

"Hey, Bogo, where are you going?"

"The small garden behind the church." Yu Bo said.

"Aren't there cemeteries behind the churches?"

"You damn grave, this is China, cremation is mandatory." After saying this, Yu Bo hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao searched twice in the winding path before he found a half-open wooden door behind the church. This door led to a small garden.

Hey, I’ve been here so many times before, but I never knew there was such a hidden gem.

This small garden is a peaceful and beautiful corner - the garden is surrounded by a low stone wall made of rough stones. One side of the wall is covered with vines blooming in various colors, like a living painting. Inside the garden, various flowers and green plants are planted, forming a rich and diverse landscape.

Carefully trimmed bushes line the garden to form paths, and roses, carnations, lilies and other flowers dot the sides of the paths, filling the air with their fragrant aromas.

Yu Bo squatted on the ground, watering the flowers attentively.

He was wearing a large T-shirt that had been washed to a faded color, grey pants that reached to his knees, and a pair of worn slippers, revealing his casual and comfortable style as always.

There were some unshaved stubble on Yu Bo's lips and chin, which made him look older than his actual age. The sunlight shone on him through the gaps between the petals, and the soft light highlighted his outline.

Xiao Yao stood behind Yu Bo, looking at him quietly.

For some reason, he felt a sense of "father" in this young priest.

Although this guy's words and deeds are usually a little off, he is actually very reliable when it comes to serious matters.

Thinking of Yu Bo's care, help and teachings during this period of time, Xiao Yao felt that he was like a loving father.

This feeling made Xiao Yao feel very close, and his heart was shocked.

Xiao Yao looked at Yu Bo's broad shoulders and said, "Father, what are you doing here?"

Hearing that Xiao Yao did not call him "Brother Bo" but called him "Father" in a strange way, Yu Bo glanced at him in surprise and said, "I am following the bishop's orders."

"What did the bishop say?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Bo.

"The bishop has already told us," Yu Bo said, "Xiao Yu, you should just grow some flowers, vegetables, go fishing, pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and leisurely see the southern mountains. Isn't that beautiful?"

"What the hell?" Xiao Yao asked, "When did the bishop say that?"

"Two and a half years ago." Yu Bo put down the shower head and watering can, stood up lazily, clenched his right fist, and knocked on his right lower back: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xiao Yao took a few steps forward, reached out to help Yu Bo massage his waist, and said nothing.

"Xiao Yao, tell me honestly, how did I treat you?" Yu Bo didn't bother to be polite with him. He stood where he was and let Xiao Yao tap his waist: "Left."

Xiao Yao knew in his heart that when people say this kind of thing, it means they are making a request to you or asking you to do something.

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "I never understood why priests are called fathers. Now I suddenly understand."

"You little brat, you're getting better and better at talking." Yu Bo scolded with a smile.

"Alas, what I said is all true." Xiao Yao told Yu Bo: "Sometimes, I really wish you were my father."

"A priest can only be a spiritual father to everyone, but he is destined not to be a biological father," Yu Bo took out a cigarette and put it between his lips. "So, it's no wonder that I treat my niece as my own daughter, right?"

"Of course, I can understand that." Xiao Yao answered calmly, while secretly trying to figure out what Yu Bo was up to.

"Xiao Yao," Yu Bo lit a cigarette and asked casually, "You took Yingying back to the countryside this time... You didn't bully her at night, did you?"

Xiao Yao's heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was that Yu Luying had complained to Yu Bo.

But he reacted within 0.5 seconds, which is unlikely.

After all, on the way to Fangbing Church to confess, Yu Luying once said to him, "You don't want me to go to my uncle, do you?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yao said calmly, "Why would I bully her? I have always treated her as my sister."

"Oh," Yu Bo blew out a puff of smoke and went straight to the point: "Is she really just a sister? What is your relationship now?"

Xiao Yao almost blurted out "She's really just a sister", but he reacted within 0.5 seconds and realized that Yu Bo could ask Yu Lihua at any time.

"In fact," Xiao Yao considered his words, "we are also in a relationship now."

"Oh," Yu Bo's expression showed no surprise at all: "Have you been in touch with Xiao Shen recently?"

"Xiao Shen and I haven't been in touch recently." Xiao Yao replied.

Actually, it's not really a lie.

"Xiao Shen and I haven't been in touch recently." Xiao Yao replied.

Actually, it's not really a lie.

Thanks to the ambiguity of Chinese, no, its profoundness and breadth.

Yu Bo didn't say anything, but just stood there thoughtfully, looking at Xiao Yao.

That look was neither suspicious nor stern, it should be called "scrutiny". His eyes seemed to be a vortex of scorching flames, as if to pull Xiao Yao's memories out of his eyes, suck them in, and check them out clearly, which made Xiao Yao feel creepy.

Xiao Yao has never been to the police station in his life, but he has heard people say that that's how veteran criminal investigators look at suspects. People with poor psychological quality simply can't stand it and will confess everything in a short while.

Yu Bo is friends with the female medical examiner surnamed Liang. Could it be that she has learned some tricks recently? Impossible. How could it be so fast...

While Xiao Yao was thinking about whether to confess everything, Yu Bo spoke again: "What about your daughter?"

"Ah, daughter..." Xiao Yao repeated these words subconsciously.

Yu Bo turned back and started fiddling with his flowers again: "How was your class today? Is there anything you don't understand?"
