You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"We'll have to pay tens of thousands after all." Yu Luying said.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"Did Shen Jie bring her ID card and household registration booklet?" Yu Luying seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Why would I need to bring a household registration book? We're not eloping to get married." Xiao Yao couldn't help laughing.

"Isn't it?" Yu Luying asked back.

"Ahem, I definitely brought my ID card, but... I think it would be best to use a fake name," Xiao Yao said.

"Fake identity?" Yu Luying was surprised.

Of course she knew why Xiao Yao wanted to use a fake name, but...

"You're having a bit of a fantasy, aren't you? How could a few kids like us come up with a fake identity?" Yu Luying said.

"Ask our uncle?" Xiao Yao said.

"My uncle is a priest, not a godfather," Yu Luying said, "and the Vatican is not in Sicily."

"No one said he was—" Xiao Yao said with a grin.

"Okay, I'll ask for you." Yu Luying reluctantly said, "If that doesn't work, there is another way, as long as you can solve the problem of money - that is IB."

"I what B?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The International Baccalaureate Program is an education system promoted by an international organization," Yu Luying explained.

Xiao Yao: “?”

"Learning this alone is not recognized in China, but it is recognized in most countries. After finding a qualified educational institution, you should only need an ID card and pay money to register," said Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao: "... Understand, let me understand."

"I'm telling you," Yu Luying bowed towards Xiao Yao, "Didn't Shen Jie not want to study? The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is. When the time comes, you'll have arranged everything for her. What if she refuses to go?"

"Then spank her. She has to listen to me." Xiao Yao said happily.

"Are you really raising her as your daughter now?" Yu Luying smiled.

"If you don't listen, I'll beat you too... ahem, well." Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at the walls around him: "The man is the head of the woman, and the wife should obey her husband. The Bible says so."

"Get lost!" Yu Luying said with her eyebrows raised, "After reading the entire Bible, you only remember these two sentences."

"To be honest, the Bible has said this more than once..." Xiao Yao said, "The most important thing is that I must do the right thing and not let her do whatever she wants. Do you think I am doing the right thing?"

Yu Luying thought carefully for a few seconds and nodded gently: "I personally think so."

"I wonder where she heard that theory that studying is useless?" Xiao Yao said angrily.

“How many second-generation people with poor academic qualifications have you seen?” Yu Luying said, “Basically, the academic qualifications of the second-generation people are packaged.”

"That's what I mean." Xiao Yao said.

"And her father only has a junior high school education, how is that possible?" Yu Luying said.

"Is it impossible?" Xiao Yao didn't quite understand this.

"You don't have a basic understanding of how our first batch of entrepreneurs got started." Yu Luying said: "There are basically no big entrepreneurs who graduated from junior high school."

"Oh yes, Shen Jie said that her father later got a university diploma to gild the deal." Xiao Yao said.

"He is a master's student. You can find it on the Internet." Yu Luying told Xiao Yao.

"You are also studying Shen Hongsheng specifically?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Hmm." Yu Luying said lightly: "Generally speaking, the early entrepreneurs had several backgrounds. They were factory workers who participated in school-run enterprises and went into business when they saw the opportunity..."

"So you're not a nerd?" Xiao Yao sat a little closer to Yu Luying, put his arms around her, and tickled her nose.

"You forgot that my grandfather was also a businessman. Compared to the nouveau riche like the Shen family, we are a well-known and prestigious family." Yu Luying struggled and said, "Let go. Don't you see where this place is? Can't I control you here?"

Writing about a prominent family but reading about it is like the remnants of the old society, Xiao Yao thought sarcastically.

"It's just a hug," Xiao Yao said, "otherwise it wouldn't feel like a date. We're a formal couple, so hugging doesn't violate doctrine."

"What kind of rules are we following?" Yu Luying retorted.

"Look at the saints in the Old Testament, every one of them had several wives." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Then you travel back to the Old Testament era," Yu Luying said, "Go home and look behind the mirror to see if you can find the dial for selecting the era?"

"Good plan." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying leaned her body against Xiao Yao's arms and got back to the point, "Factory children, school-run enterprises, bureaucrats who have gone into business, and a minority of the minority, people like Nian Guangba - what kind of person is your father-in-law?"

"My father-in-law..." Xiao Yao said.

"When did Hua Xia Real Estate start? It was after the tax-sharing reform, when local municipal investment companies were established and some people started to go into business. Real estate is an industry that requires frequent communication with government departments..." Yu Luying said.

"Oh, I see!" Xiao Yao pretended to be enlightened and pretended that he understood.

"Your Shen Hongsheng was originally a small section chief. He started his business in real estate. How could such a sociable person not know the importance of a good school?" Yu Luying said.

"Why do you know so much about it? Maybe it's because of that era," Xiao Yao said, "I seem to have heard Shen Jie say that her father went to work in the countryside..."

"Maybe they were the first group to take the college entrance exam in 82..." Yu Luying said thoughtfully, "In short, what Shen Jie said, that taking the college entrance exam is the only way out, is petty bourgeois behavior. It's pure nonsense... nonsense... nonsense."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"The idea that only by going to college can one have a future is indeed held by the lower classes and the petty bourgeoisie, but for the wealthy, college is also very important," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao. "In fact, it may be more important than seeking a good future."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao said.

"Shen Jie and I have known each other for a short time, but we still know each other a little bit," Yu Luying said, "In fact, I don't believe that she is such a naive and shallow person."

"So what you mean is..." Xiao Yao said.

"Maybe he's just trying to be tough in front of you." Yu Luying said.

"I've always thought so..." Xiao Yao said anxiously.

"Maybe she just doesn't want to cause you any more trouble. She thinks that even if she can do it, the cost-effectiveness is too low," Yu Luying guessed, "Of course, I'm just talking nonsense. You've heard it and calculated it. She may think that even if she can do it, it won't solve the college entrance examination problem."

"This is a problem," Xiao Yao admitted. "If she reconciles with her father later, borrowing her to study is just a mess for us now. If she really breaks up with her father, it will still be a problem two years later."

"Do you want to know more about IB?" Yu Luying said this like a teacher selling courses.

"I understand." Xiao Yao said.

"Can we read poetry now?" Yu Luying asked.

"Read." Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying took out the latest issue of Poetry Magazine that she had prepared long ago.

The two of them sat in the room in the basement until five or six o'clock, when Yu Bo came down and called them for dinner.

"Will you go to the orphanage's event tomorrow?" Yu Bo picked up a piece of celery and shredded pork with chopsticks and put it on the rice and started eating it together.

"Go ahead, let's go." Xiao Yao said, "The ribs made by the nun are so delicious!"

The old nun smiled and said, "If you like it, eat more - do you want more food?"

"Yes, yes, yes, hey, I can do it myself, I can do it myself!" Xiao Yao shouted.

While the nun was getting up to serve the rice, Xiao Yao leaned closer to Yu Bo and asked in a low voice, "Brother Bo, do you know how to fake your identity?"

"I know," Yu Bo said without hesitation, "It's on the telephone pole at the entrance of the church. The number for the certificate is 13800138000. Just call and ask."

"Is that reliable?" Xiao Yao scratched his head.

Yu Bo realized that Xiao Yao was serious and slammed the bowl on the table: "What are you going to do?"

--split line--

Under the cover of night, Xiao Yao reluctantly said goodbye to Yu Luying and Yu Bo, took two buses, and returned to Shen Jie's temporary residence.

Day by day...it seems like the summer homework has not been finished yet?

Forget it, I'll write it after I come back from summer camp. If that doesn't work, I'll just copy Yu Luying's. Maybe I can ask Shen Jie to help me copy it. She doesn't have to hand in homework anyway.

I spent an entire afternoon alone with Yu Luying. It seemed that we did nothing else except discussing Shen Jie's affairs, reading poetry and chatting. Our physical contact was limited to holding hands, leaning on each other and touching each other's lips. Before leaving, I couldn't help but touch her ankle through her socks. That was all.

But my heart is filled with sweetness, joy and peace.

It's simply a satisfying book.

Very good, very good. This is the feeling of campus love described in "Youth Literature and Art".

Highlighting innocence, Xiao Yao thought happily.

"Orphanage? Tomorrow?" Shen Jie shook her head and said, "No, no, go by yourself."

"Come on, let's go together." Xiao Yao shook the girl's arm.

"No, no, you two go. It's so hot." Shen Jie was unmoved.

"I heard it's going to rain tomorrow, so it won't be very hot." Xiao Yao said.

"I don't want to go if it rains." Shen Jie said expressionlessly.

Xiao Yao reported to Shen Jie the results of his discussion with Yu Luying this afternoon regarding the issue of borrowing students and fake identities.

To his surprise, Shen Jie was neither surprised nor objected: "Okay, if you can do it, then do it."

"I thought you would object?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"What's the point of opposing? You are my father now." Shen Jie said, "But you are not allowed to interfere with my catering investment plan."

Xiao Yao said happily: "Okay - call me daddy!"

"Wang Papa."

"Meow mommy!"

Xiao Yao hugged Shen Jie, and they both fell on the crowded steel spring bed.

"Brother Bo, did you really agree to help me get an identity?" Shen Jie hugged Xiao Yao and flipped over, riding on him.

"He didn't say it explicitly," Xiao Yao said, "he just asked me for a name."

"Name, what's your name?" Shen Jie asked.

"I thought about it for a long time and decided to give you the name 'Xu Qingwei'. How about it? Does it sound nice?" Xiao Yao said proudly.

"That's so ugly!" Xu Qingwei said angrily, "Why didn't you discuss this with me first?"

That night, he took Xu Qingwei to the "Freeman Internet Cafe" to level up. They were having fun when a red rainstorm warning popped up in the lower right corner of the screen. Xiao Yao also received a message from Yu Luying saying that the activity at the orphanage tomorrow was postponed.

"Will the gathering time and place for the summer camp the day after tomorrow remain the same?" Xiao Yao asked in reply.

“This remains unchanged.”

When the two men walked to the entrance of the Internet cafe at around three o'clock, they found that it was raining outside and the water was as shallow as the knees and as deep as the waist.

Xiao Yao even saw a young man swimming on the street and was amazed.

Xu Qingwei refused to perform synchronized swimming for Xiao Yao on the street, and the two returned to the Internet cafe and leveled up until dawn.

The rain had stopped, but the street was still flooded.

Xiao Yao rolled up his trouser legs, walked up to his wife, and squatted with his back to her.

"What are you doing?" The girl was stunned.

"Come up, what are you doing?" Xiao Yao pointed at his back.

Chapter 280 Let’s Go! Summer Camp at the Seaside!

2023-07-30

2004年8月4日早上8点30分，肖尧和沈婕准时在圣方济各中学的门口踏上了前往东启夏令营的大巴。

There were two buses in total, and they took the first one. Xiao Yao sat in the front row on the right, with Yu Luying, while Shen Jie, who registered under the name "Xu Qingwei", sat in the back row on the left.

Hairtail sat behind Xiao Yao, chattering excitedly like a hyperactive child and couldn't stop at all.

"Where is your Yan Xiao? Didn't he say he was coming?" After the bus started, Xiao Yao turned around and asked Daiyu.

"Well, she said she doesn't have time to attend such a long summer camp," Daiyu said happily, "but she will take time to come and accompany me for two days."

"Only two days?" Xiao Yao made a "tsk" sound and shook his head. The implication was obvious: he thought Yan Xiao was not good to Hairtail.

"Young man, you don't understand." Daiyu took off his yellow-rimmed glasses and wiped them on the hem of his T-shirt: "She wanted to come, but I didn't let her come. A few days is enough, no more, no less."
