You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Because Yu Luying had informed her mother long ago, Yu Lihua bought the side dishes in advance, and most of them had been cooked when Xiao Yao and the others stepped into the house.

Yu Luying was pushed by Yu Lihua to the public bathroom on the second floor, where she took a quick shower and then changed into her own pajamas.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you go down and take a shower too?" Yu Lihua said to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao also felt uncomfortable and almost agreed, but then he suggested that he didn't bring any spare underwear with him, so he might as well give up.

Yu Lihua patted her head and muttered that she could keep half a dozen men's underwear at home in the future. Yu Luying patted her head several times and said that she was drunk before she even started drinking.

During dinner, Yu Lihua opened a bottle of red wine, and the three of them ate and drank together - this was also the time when Shen Jie, Daiyu, Yan Xiao and others were having dinner together.

Yu Lihua complained that Xiao Yao hadn't visited her for several days, so Xiao Yao took the opportunity to apologize and said, "Aunt, it was your birthday two days ago, and an important guest happened to come to my house. Yu Luying didn't tell me that it was your birthday, otherwise I would have come anyway."

"What? Two days ago?" Yu Lihua was surprised: "My birthday? No——"

Then Yu Luying stepped on his foot under the table.

"It's no big deal, it doesn't matter," Yu Lihua said with a smile, "I'm already this old, who takes birthdays seriously when they get older? Just make myself a bowl of noodles, that's all."

Xiao Yao turned his head and glanced at Yu Luying with a thoughtful expression, but the latter remained calm, eating the rice and celery in the bowl, then picked up the goblet and took a sip of red wine.

After the meal, Xiao Yao helped Yu's mother and daughter to clean up the tables and chairs and wash the dishes - in fact, he didn't help much, he just pretended to be willing to contribute.

After finishing everything, he was ready to run away, but Yu Lihua brought out a big watermelon that had been frozen all day.

The watermelon was so plump that Xiao Yao felt dizzy.

Helpless, he could only eat melon while chatting with Yu's mother and daughter.

The watermelon was sweet, crisp and icy, in short, it was delicious. However, Xiao Yao couldn't enjoy it and wasted a good thing.

After eating the melon and cleaning up, Xiao Yao wanted to resign again, but Yu Luying said to Yu Lihua: "Mom, Xiao Yao said he has never read the evening class, and he wants you to teach him. He wants us to read the evening class together."

Xiao Yao twisted his eyes: "?"

Mr. Yu, don’t go too far!

I don’t know if Yu Luying heard Xiao Yao’s thoughts, but she turned around and made a face at him.

Yu Lihua was very happy to hear this, and took out the brick-like "Daily Praise", while teaching Xiao Yao to read, the three of them read together, and when the last "Amen" was finished, time had passed for an hour.

Fortunately, Yu Luying did not do it again, nor did she invite him to stay overnight. Instead, she took the initiative to send Xiao Yao downstairs.

"How are you going to get there?" Yu Luying asked Xiao Yao: "Ah... this address, let me see, first take bus XX, then change to bus XX..."

"Forget it. It's already late. I'll just take a taxi." Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "Hey, let me see your phone again. I'll check the address again. Don't make a mistake."

"I'll get you some paper to write it down. Wait here."

"No, no, I've got it." Xiao Yao shook his head.

At this time, an empty car slowly drove towards here.

Xiao Yao waved his hand quickly, and when he saw the car start to slow down, he turned around and gave Yu Luying a farewell hug: "I'm leaving?"

"You have to remember..." Yu Luying said, leaning on his shoulder.

"I will remember my promise, and I won't mess with her when I go back."

"Who told you this?" Yu Luying said, "I told you to remember to buy a new phone tomorrow - do you have money? If not, I'll give it to you."

"No, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes."

Xiao Yao got in the car. When the car drove out of the small road and turned a corner, Xiao Yao looked back and saw Yu Luying still standing there.

The taxi went all the way southeast. The address that Shen Jie sent should be the maximum distance with Yu Luying's home as the center and the known symbiotic distance as the radius.

This was actually a very dangerous thing - what if the symbiotic distance suddenly shortened? What if Yu Luying went out and headed northwest? Also, I couldn't go too far east or south...

After returning, I have to remind Yu Luying not to run around, and also talk to Shen Jie about this matter.

The scenery outside the car window became more and more desolate. Previously it was the usual night view of Shanghai, but gradually it turned into a combination of Xiao Yao's old public housing unit and Yu Luying's Shikumen house.

When Xiao Yao woke up from a nap—mainly because of the bumpy ride—he found that the scene outside the window was desolate.

What is that, a lake or...a field?

What is urban village?

This should still be considered an urban area, right?

Does it count? Not sure.

"Sir, we're here. Cash or credit card?" The car stopped with a violent jolt and the driver turned around to ask.

"Cash, cash." Xiao Yao said.

After the taxi drove away, Xiao Yao stood in the bustling - you know, it was quite bustling - street in a daze, staring at the dilapidated house in front of him.

This urban village is not as good as his hometown Dongru in terms of environment and infrastructure, but the flow of people is larger than that of Dongru.

And... there seem to be a lot of pretty girls among the pedestrians coming and going?

Following the arrow on the wall that said "Accommodation, turn left, 50 meters", Xiao Yao found a long staircase, made of wood and dark, like the mouth of a giant sea monster.

After walking up the stairs into the body of the giant sea monster, you have reached the second floor.

There were lights on here, but they were not bright enough. There was a bar like that of a small hotel, but there was no one there. Inside the bar seemed to be a toilet and a bathroom. To the right of the bar was a long corridor with doors lined up on both sides.

Xiao Yao knocked on the bar and stretched his head to see if there were any NPCs. Instead, he saw a naked man in briefs, holding a plastic basin, walking towards him from the corridor. Behind him were two young women who were wearing a little more than the man - their shirts at least covered most of their upper bodies, but it would be an exaggeration to say that their shorts completely covered their buttocks.

"Excuse me..." Xiao Yao looked at the tattoos, big and small, on the bodies of these three people, and didn't want to ask them anymore.

"What's wrong, little brother?" Just as Xiao Yao was frozen in place, a cheerful female voice came from behind him.

Xiao Yao turned his head and saw a pretty girl who looked a few years older than him, holding a thin cigarette... no, a lollipop? She was leaning against the bar, looking at him with a smile.

I say "girl" because she does not look much older than me, but if the word "生" refers to "student", then the name would be somewhat inappropriate.

A black top, black shorts, black fishnet stockings and a white leather belt add soul to the whole outfit. She wears a pair of black leather boots on her feet and has a small butterfly tattoo on her forearm. Her eyes are bright and her expression is friendly.

"Ah... well, I'll look for someone." Xiao Yao scratched his head and asked, "Where's the person at the front desk?"

"You mean Yu Po? I don't know. Maybe she went for a walk," the beautiful girl said with a smile, "Little brother, the girls here generally don't like people to come here without saying anything, right?"

"What?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion, "I'm looking for my girlfriend, her last name is Shen, she just moved in today, do you know which room she lives in?"

"Shen? Just arrived today?" The girl stroked her pointed chin and asked, "Are you very short?"

"Yes, yes, he is very short." Xiao Yao also became excited.

"Hasn't she already started working in the store? You can go to the store and look for her. She shouldn't be out on the first day... uh." said the girl.

"Store? What store?" Xiao Yao became more and more puzzled the more he listened.

While they were talking at cross purposes, an old lady came up from the entrance of the "giant sea monster". She must be the "Yu Po" mentioned by the girl.

The old lady knew who Xiao Yao was looking for as soon as she heard it: "Yan Xiao's friend, I know, he came here today with a short, dark-skinned boy."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yao said.

Grandma Yu took Xiao Yao to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a door marked 222.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A dazed girl's voice came from the room.

"Little girl, are you asleep?" Grandma Yu said, "There is a young man who wants to see you. He said his last name is Xiao."

Xiao Yao heard a thud from inside, and then ran over, pulled open the door's bolt, and then ran away with another thud.

"Let him in!" the girl shouted.

Grandma Yu nodded to Xiao Yao and left. Xiao Yao pushed the door open quietly, then turned around to close the door and put the bolt back on.

What’s going on? It’s just past 10 o’clock and I’m already going to bed, and it’s pitch dark in the room, Xiao Yao thought.

Before closing the door, Xiao Yao could see the exact location of the bed with the help of the light in the corridor, and then he slowly groped his way there based on his memory.

As he walked, he took off his AJ basketball shoes.

When he touched the edge of the bed, he reached out, lifted the quilt, and got straight into bed.

Then he hugged the girl lying in the bed tightly.

Ah, fragrant.

Xiao Yao concluded that she had her back to him, otherwise it wouldn't be so flat.

The girl in his arms curled up and asked in the tone of a kindergarten kid, "Who are you?"

"Hello, classmate. I am your future husband." Xiao Yao said easily.

"Then who am I?" The girl buried her head deeply in the quilt.

"You are my wife, don't doubt it!" Xiao Yao announced.

"No, I'm Meow Mama~~" The girl in his arms was still acting coquettishly, but suddenly her expression changed: "Who told you to wear a coat and pants to bed? Why are they still wet?! Are you going to die?!"

Xiao Yao immediately rolled off the bed and began to undress.

"Serve me." The girl said in the darkness.

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously: "Stop it, please."

"What do you mean?" Shen Jie's tone was cold.

"Uh, no, no, I mean, maybe next time." Xiao Yao took off his trousers, looked around and saw nothing to put on, so he just threw them on the bare ground: "I'm really too tired today."

He had just promised Yu Luying that he would not touch Shen Jie unless he was in his daughter's room...

"I see, you've eaten your fill at their place?" Shen Jie's tone became increasingly hostile.

"It's OK. I ate quite a lot. Her mother cooked a lot of dishes." Xiao Yao certainly understood what Shen Jie meant by eating a lot, and quickly explained: "I just had a meal, and then I took a taxi to come to your place. I didn't spend much time alone with her."

"You act like a high-ranking official, rushing through the first half and then the second half?" Shen Jie said.

"Honey, don't make it hard for me. I had no choice but to do this today. I know I'm sorry for you." Xiao Yao wore the underwear he had worn in the water (it was dry now) and got back into bed. "I didn't want to do this either. Please listen to my explanation."

"Don't explain. I don't want to listen and I don't want to argue with you." Shen Jie said.

Normally, when a girl says this, it means she wants to have a quarrel, Xiao Yao thought.

"I don't want to know what you two did, nor do I want to know your reasons," Shen Jie continued, "Since you know you've let me down and you've come back, you should treat me well, right?"

"Of course," Xiao Yao said, "I will devote my entire life to being good to you..."

"He just knows how to talk." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao reluctantly offered his arm and let her use it as a toy.

He turned the girl over and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against hers, soothing her softly.

At least, this way he himself will feel the least and the impact on Yu Luying will be the smallest.

……

"Okay?" Xiao Yao said.

"Hum." Shen Jie said.

"Lend me your phone." Xiao Yao said.

"Who are you going to call again?" Shen Jie asked.

"Can you not tell me? This is my cell phone." Xiao Yao said.

"My money." Shen Jie reminded him.

"You gave it to me, I didn't steal it." Xiao Yao said.

"Do I have to tell Xiaojian - tell her I'm safe and say good night?" Shen Jie said.

"It's not to report safety or say good night, but to remind her not to go too far to the west and north." Xiao Yao said.

He told Shen Jie all the risks he had thought of on the way here in the car.

"It's no use calling. I've been blocked." Shen Jie threw the phone over.

Xiao Yao dialed the number, and as expected, the blacklist had been pulled out, and Yu Luying picked up the phone quickly.

The boy did not go to the corridor to make the call, but sat on the edge of the bed and finished the call. He did not say "I'm here" or "good night", but just reminded Yu Luying of the risk of distance.

"I understand. Good night." Yu Luying said.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao began to worry that Yu Luying would be angry because of his attitude on the phone.

Being a man is difficult.
