You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Shen Jie: "Then I can feel safe for a few hours."

Xiao Yao: "Well, joking aside, I will never force you to do anything, and I will never hurt you."

Shen Jie said softly: "I know."

Xiao Yao: "Yeah."

The boy gently touched Shen Jie's belly from behind. Shen Jie clasped that hand with her own hands, and the three hands were crossed on her belly.

"Dog." Shen Jie called softly in the darkness.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao agreed.

"What's wrong with you today?" Shen Jie asked him.

"I'm fine, nothing serious." Xiao Yao said.

"You've never been so aggressive before." Shen Jie's voice sounded slightly hesitant.

"Are you still struggling with this?" Xiao Yao said, "Okay, I was wrong. I promise I won't touch you next time."

"That's not what I meant," Shen Jie said, "I just want to know the reason."

"I like you, and I want to get closer to you," Xiao Yao said calmly, "and I'm afraid of more troubles. Is this a reason?"

"What do you mean by 'the longer the night, the more dreams there are'?" Shen Jie turned over and touched Xiao Yao's chin with her small hand: "You are too insecure."

"I don't want to leave you to Zhang Zhengkai on his wedding night, and then become your lover after he has done that." Xiao Yao's voice was very low, sounding a little annoyed: "I am only willing to be your husband."

"Oh my," Shen Jie said, "You clearly know that Zhang Zhengkai will not survive--"

The second half of the sentence was swallowed back, and the air fell into silence.

"That's just my father's shadow," Shen Jie comforted Xiao Yao, "You don't have to pay too much attention to the nonsense he said."

Xiao Yao answered irrelevantly: "I want to save him, I want him to live forever, I don't want to watch him die. But, I also don't want him to appear in our lives anymore."

"I understand," Shen Jie said softly, "I know that what you said are all reasons, but I also know that you didn't tell the real reason in full."

Xiao Yao was silent: "..."

Shen Jie did not question him, but just gently stroked the boy's smooth back.

"I don't want to say it," Xiao Yao said, "If I say it, it will be suspected of shirking responsibility."

"Tell me, okay?" Shen Jie pleaded.

"…It was your own request." Xiao Yao said.

"Ah." Shen Jie said, her tone revealing a special surprise: "You mean, it was the me 30 years later who asked you to do this?"

"In fact, it is true." Xiao Yao told Shen Jie.

He confessed the truth and told Shen Jie how Shen Jie had encouraged him to "deal with her" and what benefits doing so would bring to solving the current problem. He also told Shen Jie what "methods and skills" Shen Jie had taught him. He told her everything.

"This, this is it." Shen Jie stroked the boy's back with a distracted look in her eyes: "Don't listen to her on this matter, listen to me more, okay?"

"Okay." Xiao Yao said.

"After all, I'm the one who's mainly helping you negotiate now," Shen Jie added.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"If one day, I mean if," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "the two of us, do this and that, I hope it's out of pure love, not any instrumental purpose, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao replied immediately: "I understand immediately!"

"Dog," Shen Jie hooked her arm around Xiao Yao's neck and said, "I have nothing left. You are all I have now."

Xiao Yao: "...By the way, are you hungry?"

He didn't mean to change the subject, but firstly, he really didn't know how to respond, and secondly, he suddenly remembered that Shen Jie seemed to have not eaten since last night.

I wasn't that hungry, probably because Yu Luying had eaten.

"Hungry." Shen Jie replied immediately.

"What do you want to eat? I'll go out and buy it for you." Xiao Yao lifted the quilt and sat up.

"Whatever," Shen Jie said, "I want to eat anything as long as it's yours."

???

Xiao Yao suddenly felt a sour sensation in his nose, and reached out to pinch Shen Jie's nose: "I'll be back soon."

……

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao called her.

"Ok?"

"Where are my outer pants?"

Chapter 262: Attack of the Cat Mommy (Part )

2023-07-14

When Xiao Yao went out, he was still thinking that for such a high-end hotel, it would be worth the room fee to grab an umbrella before checking out, but he didn't expect that it was already a sunny day outside.

The thunderstorms in this summer are indeed no different from those in the plum rain season. They come and go quickly, just like a little girl’s face.

The sunset was beautiful at this time, but it was almost dusk and the sunlight shining on the asphalt road was still scorchingly bright.

Xiao Yao was skipping and jumping in the refreshing sunshine after the rain, not feeling the sun at all - maybe the setting sun had weakened its power, or maybe it was because when he thought of Shen Jie's licking of his fingers just now, his heart was filled with infinite happiness and gratitude, so he didn't care about anything else.

What is this feeling like? It's like when Xiao Yao's primary school entrance exam and high school entrance exam results came out. When he was walking on the street and thought about his test scores, he couldn't help but jump up on the spot and walk with big strides.

Meow mommy, oh meow mommy, I love you forever and I am willing to be torn to pieces for you.

He confessed devoutly in his heart, walked into a delicatessen, bought a large portion of baked chicken, hot pot and pork ribs, and ordered two large portions of rice.

As he was rushing to the hotel with big and small bags in his hands, his stomach suddenly rumbled. Xiao Yao stopped awkwardly and thought for a moment, but gave up the idea of ​​opening the lid and eating while walking.

Share the happiness with mommy cat!

Just as I was about to move forward, I suddenly saw a tall foreigner walking hurriedly across the intersection ahead, followed by four burly men wearing black suits and sunglasses.

Xiao Yao's blood froze instantly - it was Johns!

If I hadn't stopped to think about whether to steal the food or not, and continued to move in a straight line at a constant speed and direction, I would probably have hit Johns in the face, and that would have been the end of me.

Come to think of it, it has been almost a day since Shen Jie escaped, and the Shen family must have discovered that the eldest lady is missing again.

Xiao Yao secretly blamed himself for his carelessness. He wanted to turn around and leave or hide, but he felt that trying to hide his mistake would only make it more obvious and would only attract unnecessary attention. So he turned 90 degrees, acted as if he had never seen the world, and coveted the plastic models in the windows of shops along the street who were dressed particularly politely.

When Johns and his group passed by him from behind, Xiao Yao seemed to see Johns's contemptuous eyes in the blurry reflection of the glass. He didn't even dare to breathe and concentrated on admiring the model.

After looking for about ten seconds, he slowly turned around, walked a few steps in the opposite direction, and secretly observed the surroundings.

It seems that Johns and his companions have disappeared.

Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards his residence, while paying attention to whether he was being followed.

Shanghai, an international metropolis, the largest city in the Far East, was so big that Xiao Yao subconsciously felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to be caught by his enemies on the street when he went out.

Now think about it... um...

At least it is unwise to continue living in the western suburbs.

Just like after running away from home, you can’t go to the Internet cafes near your home or school.

If I live near my grandma's house, it always feels like a dangerous area.

It would be best to choose a desolate place at the end of the world.

However, the diameter of the circle with Yu Luying’s house as the center cannot be too long, which is really a headache.

You can't ask her to move out of the house?

I mean, we should really pick a time and invite all the friends to have a meeting to discuss it.

Especially Yu Luying.

While Xiao Yao was lost in thought, he sneaked back to the hotel.

When I passed by the front desk, I was grabbed by the receptionist for some reason and she insisted on renewing my bill.

The room rate is 500 or 600 yuan a day, but I can't stay here for long. I must get up early and have breakfast tomorrow. Xiao Yao paid the bill with a sad face, thinking about it with heartache.

But if she goes to live in a cheap place, it’s not her own home after all, I don’t know if the young lady can get used to it.

……

The hotel room was still pitch black, and the light-blocking curtains were drawn tightly, making it difficult to tell the difference between day and night.

In this seemingly eternal darkness, there was a snoring sound with a very familiar frequency and timbre, which made people feel soothed.

"Meow mommy, get up and have dinner." Xiao Yao called affectionately and turned on a wall lamp above the bedside table.

Shen Jie made some ambiguous sounds from her nose and mouth, twisted her body a few times, and then became motionless again.

For example, I came back from "Little Southern Country" yesterday, and I have slept for one night + one morning + one afternoon...

In the middle, I just got up and took a shower and "served" her a little bit?

What on earth... happened to this child, Xiao Yao thought with heartache.

After calling twice with no response, Xiao Yao had no choice but to put the lunch box on the bedside table, lifted the quilt, crawled in, and hugged Shen Jie from behind.

The girl did not turn around and hug him with a moan as he had expected - she did not move, except for a slight tremor of her shoulders, and she curled up her body even tighter.

The touch of the cloth in his hands told Xiao Yao that Shen Jie had put her pajamas back on while he was out.

She curled up gently, and her whole body seemed to sink into the softness of the bed. Her medium-length black hair fell on the white pillow, and her pretty face was frowned, as if there was a trace of pain. Her hands tightly hugged her body, as if she was looking for warmth and comfort.

This scene seemed familiar, and Xiao Yao always felt that he had seen it somewhere not long ago.

Oh, yes, I remember now.

It was the morning of the second day after meeting Shen Jie in 2034, which was also the early morning of the day we parted. After I got up, I looked back at her and saw her sleeping in the same exact position.

Apart from the length of their hair, it is almost impossible to tell these "two people" apart.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao couldn't help but miss that woman again.

I don’t know what Shen Jie is doing at this moment, or where in the world she is flying?

and many more.

What are these two marks on Xiao Shenjie’s face?

……

Xiao Yao saw two tear marks that had been dried by the wind.

At first he couldn't believe it. He looked at it for a long time under the light before he was sure that it was indeed tear marks.

The dried tear marks on the girl's face were like subtle lines carved into her smooth skin. The color of the two tear marks was a light gray tone, starting from the corners of her eyes, extending down along the curve of her cheeks, and finally disappearing at her soft jawline.

These tear marks were not completely dry, but slightly shiny, and seemed to be gleaming softly under the dim light. They were not glaring, but revealed the girl's inner fragility and anxiety.

An inexplicable sense of guilt surged into Xiao Yao's heart.

He lowered his head with heartache and gently kissed the two tear marks on the girl's cheeks, as if by doing this he could use his love to heal all the scars in her heart.

Shen Jie was awakened by his kiss.

Before the girl opened her eyes, she made an indistinct sound: "Dog...you're back..."

Just as Xiao Yao was about to speak, he was pecked hard on the lips.

He suddenly remembered what was in the girl's mouth and felt something strange.

However, if you despise her even for this, it would be quite inhumane.

Xiao Yao shook his head and diverted his attention: "Let's eat?"

"Eat," Shen Jie continued with her eyes closed, "Feed me."

"Okay." Xiao Yao said.

The boy picked up the lunch box on the bedside table and opened the lid: inside were fragrant baked chicken, hot pot and pork lung slices, sweet and sour spare ribs, and two large servings of rice.

Xiao Yao sat on the bed, put the lunch box on his knees, broke open a pair of disposable wooden chopsticks, picked up a piece of baked chicken, and gently put it to Shen Jie's mouth: "Ah~~~"

Shen Jie glanced at the lunch box on the bedside table: "Why are there no vegetarian options?"
