You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"But is there a possibility, I mean a possibility, that my 'recall' of 'new memories' can only last to the events before 'your' time point?"

This sentence was a bit confusing and somewhat grammatically incorrect, but Xiao Yao immediately understood what she meant: "You mean, you can't recall things that haven't happened to me yet."

"BINGO." said Shen Jie.

"That's not right either," Xiao Yao pointed out sharply, "Didn't you see that I used the mirror to save you? Isn't that something that hasn't happened yet?"

"Yes," Shen Jie said, "That is to say, we can move forward a little bit, but not too much, and we can't see the specific details clearly, because it is only a 'possibility' in the long river of time?"

"Limited foresight..." Xiao Yao stroked his chin: "That makes sense, but so far, it's just a hypothesis with insufficient evidence."

"Well... I also have a vague memory that 'Dad was the one who bowed his head in the end'. Logically speaking, this is something that hasn't happened to you yet, right?"

"...I don't understand." Xiao Yao muttered.

"Because in my original timeline, the 'forced marriage' thing never happened," Shen Jie said, "Do you understand?"

"Ah."

As Shen Jie began to roll up her long hair, she gently slid over each strand. She gently combed her hair with her fingertips, her fingers lightly shuttled through her hair, gradually weaving them into an exquisite bun.

The woman slowly put her long hair behind her head, carefully adjusting the position of each strand to ensure that the whole bun looked both natural and orderly.

She used a hairpin to hold the bun in place, keeping it firm and stable.

Xiao Yao suddenly had an idea. On a whim, he said something to Shen Jie, ran to 04, and brought back the XXII-shaped platinum girl's hairpin, which he clumsily put on the woman's sideburns.

"No, what are you doing?" Shen Jie said with a smile, trying to avoid him. She tilted her head and said, "Don't make trouble. It doesn't make sense."

"I'll just see what it looks like."

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Can't remember it?" Xiao Yao spread out his palm and showed Shen Jie the hairpin in his hand: "This was your favorite in high school. You gave it to me as a keepsake before you went home. I want to see what you look like wearing it now."

"Okay." Shen Jie smiled and stretched out her hand, took the hairpin, turned her face to the mirror, and carefully pinned the hairpin on her temples.

"Does it look good?" Shen Jie asked him.

"Well," Xiao Yao admitted, "it's a bit inconsistent."

After all, now, she has changed into a high-end business suit - a slim-fitting suit jacket, classic dark black, which complements her light skin tone, and is paired with a fitted hip skirt, outlining the slender and charming lines of her legs.

Shen Jie's bun and fashionable business suit highlight her sophistication and temperament. Such an outfit undoubtedly makes her more outstanding in highlighting her style, but also makes the girlish decorations look out of place on her.

Xiao Yao thought with a little emotion that one day, youth will pass away and "she" is destined to become "she". This is the law of nature and cannot be avoided.

If I could be a boy and a girl all my life...

"Then your life will end when you are 18. You won't object, right?" The little man in red jumped onto Xiao Yao's palm and cut off his lifeline with a fork.

"Or maybe change the definition of boy and girl to 80 years old?" The little man in white clothes opened a notebook and wrote something down.

"It's okay," Shen Jie said with a relaxed smile, "I will secretly take it off before meeting the client."

"Okay~" Xiao Yao blurted out: "No, I didn't say I would give it to you."

"Ah?" Shen Jie said after a moment of silence.

"This is the parting token you gave me. If I return it to you, wouldn't it seem like..."

"Oh, that's right." Shen Jie responded while reaching out to take off the hairpin.

"Don't move." Xiao Yao took out his cell phone and took a picture of her.

Then took another photo.

Then he realized that he should take two close-up selfies.

After Xiao Yao finished taking the photos, Shen Jie took out her own mobile phone and took two photos. After all, data could not be transmitted between the two people's mobile phones.

Shen Jie took off the hairpin and solemnly handed it back to Xiao Yao: "Then, I'm leaving?"

"Shall I take you to the airport?" Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie: “?”

"Oh shit, I forgot, I can't get out." Xiao Yao subconsciously hit his head, and then wondered if this would harm Yu Luying. Then he changed his mind and thought that it should be fine in this room, so he relaxed again.

Shen Jie turned around, narrowed her eyes, and touched Xiao Yao's head lovingly: "If you have nothing to do, you can also study more with Tianyun, how to break through the blockade of the fog? I also want to take you-take you to our world."

Xiao Yao said, "Okay, I'll try my best." But in his heart he was thinking, where should I start this research?

"By the way, try to avoid wearing high heels in the future. They are very bad for your feet." Xiao Yao told Shen Jie.

"Oh, you little husband, are you starting to control your sister now?" Shen Jie said with a charming smile.

"What? Can't I take care of it?" Xiao Yao straightened his waist.

"Yes, yes," Shen Jie said with a smile, "but I'm short, so how can I not wear high heels? And this is also part of business etiquette."

"So," Xiao Yao said, "this is foot binding in the new century, society's persecution of women."

"Well said," Shen Jie smiled, "But my feet are already ruined. Why don't you go back and discipline that one? If she listens to you, I will be different when I wake up, right?"

"That makes sense," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Remember to remind me."

"Okay," Shen Jie smiled tolerantly, "I really have to go, or I'll have to change my flight ticket. After sending you a thousand miles away, we must say goodbye. Let's just stay here. Don't send me off."

"Well," Xiao Yao said reluctantly, "I can't give it away even if I want to."

The resentment that Xiao Yao had yesterday about the age difference has now almost disappeared, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, whispering in each other's ears.

"How many people have admired your youthful appearance, but who can withstand the ruthless changes of time..."

Shen Jie, I did it.

Xiao Yao said secretly in his heart to Shen Jie who was in the West Suburb Garden.

"Okay, okay," Shen Jie said, "I'm only going away for a few days, but you're making it seem like we're leaving again - uh, going very far away."

Xiao Yao stood in front of the window, and watched Shen Jie get on the car and leave in his imagination. Then he returned to his own time and space, washed up, dressed neatly, went out, pushed his bicycle, and rode to the Sacré-Cœur.

If I remember correctly, I have classes today, but Xiao Yao is certainly not in the mood to attend any classes at the moment.

However, he had to ask Yu Bo for a treasure.

While riding his bike, Xiao Yao secretly wondered in his heart, when was the day he met that beautiful sister when he went to Miwei Group?

Well, I went to Miwei Group the first day, and the eldest sister said, "The boss is going abroad the day after tomorrow." In the evening, Yu Luying and I went to three industrial addresses provided by Yan Xiao, but found nothing. Then I received a text message from Liang Yanan.

I met Liang Yanan the next night and got the address of Xijiao Garden. On the third day, I went to Xijiao with Yu Luying early in the morning. At this time, Shen Jie came back, which was yesterday.

Today is the fourth day, which is also the second day since Shen Jie's father went abroad. He should not have returned home yet. No matter how big a difference his presence or absence makes, it is always a good idea to seize the opportunity.

Well, wait, if Shen Jie’s father is not here, will the skyscraper hall disappear temporarily?

The optimist's estimate is that I can directly drill into the mirror, drill out of the mirror in Shen Jie's room unimpeded, and then lead her to a victorious escape.

Ha, ha, it can’t be that simple.

If it were that easy, Shen Jie would have run away on her own yesterday... right?

As he was lost in thought, the boy parked his bicycle in front of the gate of St. Francis School and walked quickly into the side door of the Sacred Heart Church.

I shouldn't be late today.

Before I entered the meeting room, I saw Xiaopingguo walking towards me with her eyebrows slightly frowned, one hand gently rubbing and supporting her slender waist.

"Good morning." Xiao Yao shouted subconsciously.

"Good morning." Yu Luying's tone was a little tired.

"What's wrong with your waist?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"Nothing," Yu Luying said, "I just felt a little sore when I woke up this morning. I don't know if it was caused by accident - it can't be that I'm having that period again?"

"Is it time?" Xiao Yao calculated the time in his mind: "It's not time yet, right?"

By turning the tables like this, Yu Luying won't be able to ask him "What did you do?"

"Hey, good morning, Brother Bo." Xiao Yao looked up and saw Yu Bo coming out of the conference room, and quickly called him: "I have something to talk to you about. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

Yu Bo took out his phone and checked the time: "Let's talk after class, it's almost time."

After patiently listening to the lesson "The Four Ends of All Nations", Xiao Yao followed Yu Bo into the back garden of the church after class.

"What? A scroll to return to the city?" Yu Bo was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

"Brother Bo, you know what I'm going to do." Xiao Yao said calmly.

"You are being reckless!" Yu Bo scolded.

"This is my courage!" Xiao Yao showed no sign of weakness.

"No, I don't agree with you going, and I won't provide you with support." Yu Bo waved his hand.

"Why?" Xiao Yao didn't understand.

"It's too dangerous." Yu Bo answered without hesitation.

"That's it?" Xiao Yao said, "It's because of the danger that I need your scroll to return to the city as a guarantee."

"No," Yu Bo said, "If I give it to you, it means I support your behavior."

"If you don't support me, then I won't go? I must rescue Shen Jie," Xiao Yao reminded Yu Bo, "If you don't give me the scroll, you're just watching her die."

"You!" Yu Bo looked a little angry: "You are unorganized and undisciplined! You dare to blackmail me morally!"

"Father, unless you tie me up and lock me in the church basement, I will go and save her." Xiao Yao once again expressed his determination.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Yu Bo stretched out his hand and clamped Xiao Yao's arm, and the boy felt a little pain.

"You hurt your niece." Xiao Yao did not struggle, but just stood there motionless, warning the hot-tempered monk.

"You went to Mr. Yao's hall to save people," Yu Bo released his hand and sorted out his words: "We were passive when we were involved in Mr. Song's hall. Now you want to take the initiative to attack other people's halls. Not to mention how dangerous it is, are you going to turn Xiao Shen's father into those two teachers? Do you know what this behavior means once the power of the spiritual fortress is abused?"

"I'm not going to fight the shadows in the hall," Xiao Yao told Yu Bo, "nor am I going to change anyone's mind or hurt anyone. I just want to find a way to get Shen Jie out."

"Is illegally breaking into other people's homes and kidnapping their underage children an act that is lawful or just? I think we need to be cautious," said Yu Bo.

Xiao Yao was a little puzzled. How could Brother Bo, who had always been free and easy and "chaotically kind", suddenly become so rigid in his thinking?

Like all doting fathers, Yu Bo and Xiao Yao argued for another 20 minutes before taking him upstairs to his office to provide him with the help he needed.

"First, this doesn't mean I support you," Yu Bo said.

"I know." Xiao Yao said.

"Second, if you see the situation is not good, get out immediately, don't be greedy and reckless. I am cautious not because I am reluctant to give it to you. Remember, we have to keep the green mountains."

"I know." Xiao Yao said.

The last time he sneaked into Teacher Yao's temple, Yu Bo gave Shen Jie a medal of Our Lady of Loreto as a medium to escape from the temple. Unexpectedly, it was the holy relic of Queen Mary, and by accident, Shen Jie awakened Mary's fortress.

Now, the holy medal was in Shen Jie's hand, so Yu Bo gave him a brand new Miraculous Medal of the Virgin Mary.

"Whose holy king's relic is this?" Xiao Yao asked casually.

"Our parish's holy relic group sells common goods, five dollars each." Yu Bo slapped him: "Give me the money."

Xiao Yao: "..."

Yu Bo deliberately glared at her and said in a rough voice, "What are you doing? Can't I use the five-dollar one? Are you trying to rip me off?"

Xiao Yao burst out laughing, and Yu Bo couldn't help laughing too.

The two of them didn't have time to eat lunch during the whole afternoon. Xiao Yao was learning from Yu Bo how to pronounce the Latin words on the scroll.

In front of Xiao Yao, Yu Bo "cast a spell" to bless the holy tablet while muttering something. (Note: "Blessing" an item is similar to "opening the eyes" in Buddhism)

In order to achieve a quick conclusion, Yu Bo rewrote a manuscript for Xiao Yao using Chinese phonetic symbols + Pinyin, but Xiao Yao still had difficulty learning/reading it.

"Der La~" Yu Bo muttered, and his tongue made a beautiful tremor.

"Dad." Xiao Yao followed and said.

"You have to bounce your tongue. Imagine holding a mouthful of water in your mouth, and then here in your throat..." Yu Bo taught patiently.

"Uveolar trills, uvular trills... There are too many in this section, right?" Xiao Yao made a bitter face: "Do we have to make these trills?"

"Alas, this is not your fault," Yu Bo sighed, "Many people cannot pronounce it. They cannot pronounce it even after years of learning and practicing. This has something to do with the structure of the tongue root."

"What should we do then?" Xiao Yao asked, "Does it have to be vibrato for it to work?"

"I don't know." Yu Bo admitted: "I'll go with you, Xijiao Garden, right? But I have something to do in the afternoon, so let's wait until four or five o'clock."

"Ah?" Xiao Yao said.
