You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"A small room won't work," Xiao Yao continued to hold Yu Luying's waist, "How about the three of us staying in one room?"

Yu Luying raised her right foot and gently stepped on Xiao Yao's instep: "Stop dreaming, let's go."

The kick was not very powerful, and Xiao Yao knew that the words "Stop dreaming" were not only directed at him, Xiao Yao, but also at herself.

In the taxi on the way to the third address, Yu Luying seemed a little depressed.

Xiao Yao just sat in the back seat, held her in his arms, and gently stroked the girl's arm.

"If what the property manager just said is correct," Xiao Yao said, "Mr. Johns will inspect the Shen family's property management from time to time, but usually only once a quarter."

"Hmm." Yu Luying said absentmindedly.

"Then can we infer that the number of properties owned by the Shen family is at least in the double digits?" Xiao Yao said.

"He's crazy," Yu Luying said, "Doesn't Johns do anything else besides inspecting properties?"

"That does make sense." Xiao Yao said.

The third property was located in a very nice-looking residential area, but when the two people walked in hand in hand, they were not stopped by the security guard.

The community was like a maze, and it took them a long time to find Building 24. They didn't have access cards, so they waited for a long time until a resident entered, and then followed him in.

Since he couldn't use the elevator without an access card, Xiao Yao decided to take the stairs.

"Don't follow me up the stairs. Just wait downstairs." Xiao Yao turned around and said to Yu Luying.

"I'll climb, you wait." said Yu Luying.

"That won't work."

"No matter who climbs, the degree of fatigue is the same, but I am lighter than you," Yu Luying reminded him.

Xiao Yao sat on the stairs on the first floor, fiddling with his cell phone boredly and looking at the photos of Shen Jie in the MMS.

Just then, a call came from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Xiao Yao said impatiently, "Who is this?"

"Xiao Yao, right? I'm Liang Yanan." A female voice that was somewhat... deep? came from the other end of the receiver.

"Liang...ah, hello, hello!" Xiao Yao's voice immediately became enthusiastic.

"Yu Bo told me everything about you." Liang Yanan said.

"Ah~? Ah." Xiao Yao said.

"I know where your friend lives now," Liang Yanan said concisely, "Come and meet him tomorrow."

Liang Yanan hung up the phone after she finished speaking, and then Xiao Yao's phone rang with an address and time on it.

This is really... vigorous and decisive.

However, seeing that the clues were coming into focus, Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

The boy heard tired footsteps coming down the stairs and quickly stood up, opening his arms to greet them.

"No," Yu Luying said before she spoke: "I knocked on the door for a long time, and it seemed dark inside. There should be no one there."

"It's okay. Liang Yanan called just now."

"Liang Yanan?"

Xiao Yao briefly explained to Yu Luying what had just happened.

Yu Luying was stunned for a moment, then gave a somewhat forced smile: "Okay, as long as there is some progress."

"Thank you for your hard work today."

"I'll say it again, I'm not doing this for your own good, am I?"

"Good good."

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying left the community hand in hand and stood on the road.

"I suddenly realized that I have been to this place before," said Xiao Yao.

"Have you been here? When?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

Xiao Yao recalled that Shen Jie lost contact that day, so he ran to the No. 7 Girls' High School in the city to look for her, and happened to see Zhang Zhengkai who was pestering Shen Jie.

So he showed up, and the three of them walked a very long way together. Xiao Yao still remembers that the road was along the bank of the Suzhou River, and it was very long.

Xiao Yao still remembers that day when Shen Jie kept scolding Zhang Zhengkai in front of him and wanted to drive him away.

"It's okay, I just stop by the roadside occasionally." Seeing that Yu Luying was already preparing to take a taxi, Xiao Yao quickly said, "Can you take a walk with me?"

Yu Luying originally wanted to say, "I've walked for such a long time today. I'm so tired. Why should I take a walk?" But when she saw the young man's expectant eyes, she reluctantly nodded.

Relying on his memory, Xiao Yao took Yu Luying all the way in the opposite direction towards the No. 7 Girls' High School and passed the familiar intersection - it was here that Shen Jie took off her socks and gave them to him in front of Zhang Zhengkai, which made Zhang Zhengkai so angry that he almost broke his GBA.

Walk two or three blocks further and you will reach the two winding streets along the Suzhou River.

That day, the three of them walked along this road from the girls' school to Shen Jie's house. Revisiting the old place made Xiao Yao feel a little emotional.

On the small path along the Suzhou River, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying held each other's hands tightly, and the warm touch conveyed a sense of security in the darkness.

This stretch of road was shrouded in darkness, without a trace of moonlight or stars, and only dotted with sporadic street lights.

The road section several hundred meters ahead was covered in darkness, like a bottomless abyss, which made Yu Luying feel a little scared.

"Just, let's just walk here. It's so dark ahead and I'm a little scared." Yu Luying bit her lips nervously.

However, Xiao Yao was immersed in the atmosphere surrounded by darkness. He enjoyed the feeling of walking with Yu Luying: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

The two people walked into the pitch-black darkness.

After walking about a hundred meters, Yu Luying suddenly pushed Xiao Yao to the wall, forming a wall-dong posture.

Xiao Yao was surprised. He couldn't see Yu Luying's figure or her face, but he could catch the girl's rapid breathing with his ears and cheeks.

He closed his eyes tacitly, but felt it was unnecessary, so he opened them again.

In the quiet darkness, they searched for each other.

Then found it.

Xiao Yao responded to her enthusiastically.

At this moment, he could only experience this moment by feel and give himself to her completely.

In the darkness, their breathing gradually became steady, as if blending into the silence around them. Their heartbeats gradually synchronized, forming a secret melody. Although they could not see, the tacit understanding and emotions between them intertwined into an invisible bond, deepening their mutual understanding and tacit understanding.

Xiao Yao began to listen to the sounds around him.

The breeze passed by their ears, and the sound of the river flowing gently seemed to become a ballad that soothed the soul. He felt Yu Luying's body temperature and smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her body. Every inch of skin became sensitive and delicate at this moment, and their existence to each other became extremely real and strong.

Time seemed to be paused at this moment.

until.

"Hmm! Hmm!" In the darkness, Xiao Yao suddenly opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

He subconsciously wanted to look down, but his head was locked at an angle by Yu Luying's head.

Xiao Yao held Yu Luying's little face with both hands and pushed her head back: "What are you doing with your hands?"

As he asked, he reached up and pulled the girl's arm.

"Don't talk." Yu Luying ordered, then blocked the boy's mouth again.

Chapter 233: The Little Apple

2023-06-15

*This chapter is also called "Chatting to Comfort Myself"

On the bus going home, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sat side by side. Both of them - mainly Yu Luying - covered their faces, did not speak, and even did not let Xiao Yao see her face.

Although when they were in the countryside of Dongru, the two of them actually did something even more outrageous than what they just did...

But, what happened just now happened outdoors after all, outdoors... to round it off, it was broad daylight and in full view of everyone... ?

Even if it's something that even meow mommy hasn't experienced before...

Yu Luying leaned over to Xiao Yao's ear and whispered, "Am I too~~~?"

"But you're so sweet," Xiao Yao whispered to her, "and you're so brave."

Yu Luying was shy again: "I'm actually a little afraid that you will look down on me."

"How could that be?" At this time, Xiao Yao of course repeatedly stated: "I definitely won't do that."

The two of them sat in the back seat of the bus. There were almost no people on the bus, so Yu Luying simply laid her upper body on Xiao Yao's knees and squinted her eyes comfortably.

"I feel a little pain," Xiao Yao lowered his head and whispered to Yu Luying, "When I go back home tonight, let me be by myself...?"

Yu Luying put her face against Xiao Yao's knees and nodded.

Xiao Yao was a little happy. He turned her face over, then lowered his head and leaned sideways.

Oops, the ligaments are a bit bad.

Yu Luying smiled with her eyes narrowed, raised her head and came closer, with a helpless expression on her face as if she was doting on Xiao Yao.

……

Wow, she is really beautiful, Xiao Yao thought.

"What they said is right," Yu Luying suddenly said, "You are a poppy, the source of temptation. I should have stayed away from you - I shouldn't have come out today, I should have let you go looking for it on your own."

"?" Xiao Yao gently patted Yu Luying's forehead: "This is a bad thing about you, kid. You always take the initiative, and then you seduce you with strange flowers." After saying this, Xiao Yao felt a little regretful, worried that he would make her angry again. Fortunately, Yu Luying didn't mind, and just said in a coquettish tone: "I don't care! You just dragged me to that dark place without lights!"

As he spoke he twisted his body twice.

Since he knew that the other party was just acting like a spoiled brat, Xiao Yao quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault."

"Hmph! It's all your fault!" Yu Luying puffed up one cheek.

"Hey, wait a minute," Xiao Yao belatedly remembered something, "Which bastard told you that I was the source of temptation?"

Yu Luying snorted twice, said nothing, and buried her face in Xiao Yao's knees again.

After the two got off the bus, Xiao Yao sent Yu Luying to her doorstep and watched her go upstairs, but he didn't go up because it was too late.

He hurriedly walked back home, opened the sewing box on the handle of the sofa, took out Yu Luying's pair of gray cotton socks, and then called Yu Luying.

beep - beep - beep -

"Hello?" Yu Luying's pleasant voice came from the other end of the receiver: "You're home so soon?"

"Well, I'm home." Xiao Yao said, "Are you...are you ready now?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Luying said angrily, then remained silent for two seconds: "Okay."

"Well, send me a message when you get to the bathroom downstairs." Xiao Yao said, preparing to hang up the phone.

"No need," Yu Luying whispered, "My mother is not at home, we will catch... you hold on tight."

"What time is it? Your mother hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised: "Is her illness healed?"

"I don't know—it was healed a long time ago."

"If I had known I would have gone up with you directly just now - or would I come over now?"

"Get lost!" Yu Luying refused without hesitation with a scolding and laughing tone.

"Then..." Xiao Yao thought for a moment: "I'll hang up first?"

"You, don't hang up." Yu Luying said.

"?"

"Just...just like that," Yu Luying said weakly, "We both talk..."

!?!

……

……

……

Xiao Yao let out a long sigh.

There was also a long silence on the phone.
