You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Uh," Xiao Yao said, "Isn't there a vegetarian side dish in this Fuqi Feipian?"

"Everything you bought is what you like to eat." Shen Jie pouted.

Xiao Yao: “?”

Didn’t you say “whatever”?

Didn’t you say, “I want to eat everything that’s yours”?

Besides, how come these are all my favorites? I don’t like Fuqi Feipian at all, I just bought it because of the lucky name of the dish.

"Okay, I'm just teasing you." Shen Jie put on a smiling expression.

Xiao Yao: "..."

Shen Jie raised her head and looked at the food in Xiao Yao's hand, with a warm light in her eyes. She gently opened her mouth and let Xiao Yao put the baked chicken into her mouth.

Xiao Yao fed Shen Jie carefully, and every bite was full of care and warmth.

They had dinner together in a quiet room, chatting away all the time.

"What? You met Uncle Johns?" Shen Jie was so shocked that she even forgot to chew the food in her mouth and swallowed it.

Xiao Yao told Shen Jie the whole process of the incident.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Shen Jie complained.

"Yes."

"It seems that this place is really uninhabitable," Shen Jie said, "Let's check out tomorrow and find a short-term rental together."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded.

The boy kept observing Shen Jie's expression to make sure she ate comfortably and without straining. During the feeding process, their eyes met, and Xiao Yao's eyes conveyed deep love, but he felt that he could not read Shen Jie's eyes.

No matter what, Xiao Yao's heart was full of happiness and satisfaction. He was grateful to God for being qualified to do his best to take care of Shen Jie.

The girl picked up a remote control and turned on the large TV facing the bed.

"Hey, hey, hey, yes, there is an Asian Cup tonight, let's watch it together?" Xiao Yao suddenly felt a little excited, as if he suddenly remembered something.

"But," Shen Jie said hesitantly, "I wanted to watch some TV series and variety shows."

"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Then watch some TV series and variety shows. I'll keep you company."

"No," Shen Jie lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I'd better watch the game with you."

"Watch variety shows." Xiao Yao insisted.

"Watch the game." Shen Jie refused to give in.

The two people quarreled over this matter, and finally chose rock-paper-scissors, and Xiao Yao won.

"Okay, let's watch the game." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie: “?”

"You're wrong. Watch variety shows." Xiao Yao said.

Gradually, the meal was almost finished.

Xiao Yao packed up the remaining food and put it aside. He took out a tissue and gently wiped the soup from the corner of Shen Jie's mouth. He asked with concern, "Mummy, are you full? Do you want to eat more?"

Shen Jie shook her head: "I'm full - put the rest in the refrigerator."

Xiao Yao packed up his things and went to the bathroom to pee. When he came back, he found that Shen Jie had crawled out of the bed. She was sitting on top of the quilt, leaning against the headboard, hugging her raised knees with her hands, watching TV absentmindedly.

Shen Jie was not wearing a nightgown today, but a set of pajamas. In the dark, Xiao Yao could hardly identify its color, but he could still tell that it was expensive. The pajamas were loose and comfortable, revealing a soft texture, and she was still wearing the pair of glass silk stockings under her trouser legs.

In the dark room, the fluorescent light of the TV illuminated Shen Jie's face. She seemed to be staring at the TV screen intently. The light made the girl's face appear blue and white.

There were some milky white marks on the girl's feet that had just dried, like milk spilled on them. These spots were formed by the drying of liquid, showing a dull white color. The marks were of different sizes and shapes, some were small dots, and some were long and thin lines. They were scattered in various areas of the socks, sometimes gathered together, and sometimes scattered.

Xiao Yao jumped onto the bed and sat on Shen Jie's right side. He hooked his hand around her left shoulder and rested his arm on the back of the girl's neck like a cushion.

The boy gently stroked Shen Jie's left shoulder, trying to give her some comfort and warmth.

"Mama Meow, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yao asked in a low voice, "Were you crying secretly when I went out just now?"

Shen Jie was silent for a while, then raised her head, with a look of grievance and helplessness in her eyes. She bit her lip lightly: "Xiao Yao, I shed tears in my sleep because I'm tired, don't interpret it as crying. I won't cry anymore. I've cried enough."

Xiao Yao held Shen Jie's hand tightly and said gently: "Mama Meow, no matter what difficulties and problems we encounter, we can face them together."

Shen Jie stood up suddenly and stepped on the edge of the bed: "Do I need you to tell me this? Of course you have to face it with me. Meow mommy, from today on, I am a free cat. I can feel... I will definitely have a brand new future."

This time it was Xiao Yao's eyes that became moist. He gently hugged Shen Jie and rested his head on her belly to prevent her from seeing his tears.

"Hehe, my dog ​​knows how to act like a spoiled child now?" Shen Jie smiled and purred Xiao Yao's hair, making it a mess.

Xiao Yao thought with heartache, when will she stop trying to be strong in front of him, when will she dare to show her vulnerability in front of him without restraint, and when will she be able to rely on him like a real man?

Chapter 263: Attack of the Meow Mommy (Part )

2023-07-14

Xiao Yao thought with heartache, when will she stop trying to be strong in front of him, when will she dare to show her vulnerability in front of him without restraint, and when will she be able to rely on him like a real man?

The boy thought about it, then let go of his hand and said, "I think we still have to find a way to reconcile with your father."

"This time is different from last time. It's not that I don't want to go back, but I can't go back," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "You've heard what my father thinks. When I was in that family, all I could get was money, and the price was everything. If I go back now, I can't even get the money."

"But……"

"Do you know why I keep sleeping? It's not because I'm tired or depressed, but because I really need sleep. I've been living in a daze at home these days. I don't know how many days have passed, and I don't know if I'm awake or asleep. I just feel a splitting headache. It wasn't until that day when I saw you outside the window that I realized I was still alive."

"But your ideal has always been..." Xiao Yao was somewhat touched, but he still didn't think that what she said was completely true.

"I did look forward to studying abroad in the United States," Shen Jie said, "because I thought I could breathe the air of freedom then. But now I understand that both No. 7 Girls' High School and Harvard University are just exquisite cages woven by my father with money.

"I used to be used to that kind of extravagant life, and indeed at one point I felt that I could only be a canary, enjoying the best life, without any way to be independent. But the days of living with you made me realize that I am not a canary, I am a cat, a free hunter in this city, and I am fully capable of surviving on my own!"

Really? Xiao Yao wondered.

"But in the hall..." Xiao Yao recalled the scene in the hall where Shen Jie couldn't get out, and felt that her bold words were not very convincing, but he did not continue.

"When I was in the palace, I did feel that I had seen a glimmer of hope, that I might be able to reach an understanding with my father through communication. Although the solution he proposed was completely unacceptable, I really saw that he was willing to communicate with me and talk to me properly. He said that he loved me...

"But I don't know why, things took a turn for the worse, and I have to choose between the two of you. Since I chose to go with you, I won't regret it."

Is this a choice between two options because of me? Xiao Yao wondered. If I had been more patient in the king's palace...?

"Xiao Yao, we have to find a new place to live tomorrow, and then think about ways to make money. There is still half of the summer vacation left, and I have to earn enough money to transfer to your school before school starts. But if things don't go well, then I'll have to rely on you."

Are you really naive, or are you just bragging to me? Our school is a key school in the district, not a private school that you can attend just by paying money. Is this a matter of money? Without your family, can you, a minor, really transfer to another school on your own?

"Whether it goes smoothly or not, you can always rely on me." Xiao Yao was not confident, but said in a firm tone: "I have been helping you find solutions to what you said."

"Bah! What are you thinking of? You've always wanted to mess with me!" Shen Jie grabbed Xiao Yao's nose and said, "I don't mind you messing with me. You know very well that I will be yours sooner or later. But, can you get things done first so that I can sleep peacefully? So that I can be in the mood to be messed with by you? Instead of, like now, I don't know where I will sleep tomorrow?"

"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Yao said.

"Look, since you're the only one I have, can I expect you to be loyal to me? For the sake of me abandoning my father and family for you?" Shen Jie suddenly threw Xiao Yao's arm off, rolled over, crawled in front of him, and looked him in the eye: "Your phone screen is full of photos with silly girl, what does that mean? You've never used a photo of the two of us as your background? What did you two do when you were in the countryside?"

"What?" Xiao Yao was confused by this sudden change, his head was buzzing: "Didn't it have been changed a long time ago?"

"Now in Father Yu's place, Yu Luying is your real girlfriend, right? I'm the mistress who has to hide from the devil, right? So you have to follow Yu Bo's car and sneak back in the middle of the night, right?"

"What?" Xiao Yao shouted.

"You spent a day and a night with me 30 years later. Did she tell you how Yu Luying died? Didn't you ask her?"

"How did she die? Died? Yu Luying? What are you talking about?" Xiao Yao was completely stunned.

"Are you really in jail for 40 years to take the blame for my father? Not for killing your wife? I know you didn't kill me."

In the darkness, Shen Jie's eyes were sparkling, and she was narrating something extraordinary in a gentle and calm tone.

"What's going on? Explain it to me quickly!" Xiao Yao was really anxious this time. He stretched out his arms and shook Shen Jie's arms hard twice.

"You hurt me." Shen Jie pointed out calmly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xiao Yao quickly retracted his hand: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

"You really care about her, right?" Shen Jie said softly.

"...Shouldn't I care about her?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and asked seriously.

"Probably," Shen Jie replied, "Shen Jie really didn't tell you how Silly Sister died?"

"What the hell is she saying? She said Yu Luying is a good person, she's married, has a son, and is a university professor." Xiao Yao's tone was a little anxious again.

"Did she really tell you that?" Shen Jie thought thoughtfully.

"Right?" Xiao Yao said, "She told you that Yu Luying died later? How did she die?"

"She didn't say how she died," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao truthfully, "She only said she didn't live past 30."

"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing?" Xiao Yao was angry.

"Why else do you think I would bring you two together?" Shen Jie replied, "Isn't it because I don't want to deprive her of the experience of the first half of her life?"

"..." Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment.

"Dog," Shen Jie changed her lying position and gently touched the boy's calf with her feet wrapped in glass silk socks: "I'm thinking about a question - I, Shen Jie, am not the kind of woman who tells lies to everyone, right?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yao said.

"Is it possible that that woman is a fake?" Shen Jie said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Xiao Yao said.

"If she is a fake, then I am really being cheated on." Shen Jie continued to talk to herself.

Xiao Yao: "..."

Chapter 264 Shen Jie, you liar!

2023-07-14

The situation after Shen Jie and Xiao Yao revealed that Yu Luying would die young in the future, as well as their conversation, can be re-described here as follows.

"Yu Luying will die? Who said that? Why didn't I know?"

"That day I was on the phone with... my future self, and she told me. Otherwise, why would I take such a big step back?"

"Is that why you... Impossible, you, no, that you, told me a few days ago that Yu Luying broke up with my future self, went to teach, and got married. Although you said you weren't familiar with her, you definitely didn't mention the word 'death' at all."

"Are you in jail because you killed Yu Luying like I told my dad?"

"Could it be that she lied to you because she didn't believe in time travel at all?"

"So she lied to me to make me break up with you?"

"Then she also gave me advice to deal with you?!"

"I'm a liar!"

"You liar!"

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie fully exchanged information and reached the following two consensuses.

First, we must find a way to pry open the mouths of those future people who talk nonsense. We can no longer allow them to get away with laughing all day long.

When necessary, hang him up for trial.

Second, no matter why Shen Jie or Shen Tianyun did not tell the truth in the future, no matter who died or who killed whom, now that we know it in advance, we must try to prevent the tragedy from happening again.

To achieve the second goal, you must first achieve the first goal, otherwise you will be groping in the dark.

"There is also Zhang Zhengkai." Xiao Yao reminded.

"Don't let me hear this name again." Shen Jie said a little irritably.

"Don't be like this." Xiao Yao shook her hand: "No matter what, in the original timeline, he did it for you..."

"I know, I know." Shen Jie said, "Help."

"Anyway," Xiao Yao explained, "I still like that little Shen Jie who is kind to those who love her."

"Fuck it," Shen Jie said, "Is there a possibility that, in this timeline, he has already caused my family to be destroyed?"

For the entire evening, Xiao Yao kept complaining about why Shen Jie concealed the news of Yu Luying's "death" and demanded that she give a reasonable explanation.

Shen Jie felt that her future self had reasons to lie to herself, but not to Xiao Yao, and that Yu Luying's future might not be what Xiao Yao thought. But in the end, she was destined to be the only liar, and in the end, she reluctantly agreed to equalize this matter with Xiao Yao's "concealment of symbiosis" in the past, which shut Xiao Yao up.
