"Why?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"Are you stupid? Where are we going? The beach!" Hairtail said excitedly, "What's there at the beach?"

Xiao Yao gently touched Yu Luying's arm and replied, "Uh... beach? Waves? Bonfire? Beer and barbecue?... Damn, if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered that I've lived for 16 years and have never been to the beach!"

"Let's not talk about Shanghai. Isn't your Dongru also by the sea?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"It's about 30 to 50 kilometers, and it's all mudflats." Xiao Yao explained, "It's all coarse sand and pebbles. Even wearing hiking shoes hurts my feet. There's a fishy smell. It's not interesting at all. I'm talking about the kind of beaches and seashores you see on TV and in movies. Hey, I've never seen anything like that."

"Then shouldn't you be excited?" Hairtail continued to dance.

"Okay, excited, excited." Xiao Yao let go of Yu Luying, raised his arms, and waved them softly and weakly a few times.

"I tell you the truth, Brother Yao," said Daiyu.

“Don’t talk like Jesus!” Yu Luying interrupted.

"Let me tell you this, Brother Yao," Daiyu said, "what you said didn't hit the point."

"What's the idea?" Xiao Yao asked Hairtail.

"Beauty, swimsuit, think about it, you can finally feast your eyes..." The fish thief glanced at Yu Bo and several female college students around him, and lowered his volume: "Maybe you can Have an affair?"

"Oh," Xiao Yao said expressionlessly, "I'm not interested. If you have this hobby, why don't you go to the Magic City Swimming Pool?"

Xiao Yao said these words sincerely. For one thing, he was no longer interested in romantic encounters - the two people in front of him had already stretched his time management skills to the limit. People should be content with what they have and not be like bears picking corn.

Secondly, he had no interest in swimsuit shows. First, it was boring just to watch, and second, he preferred the look of everyday clothes soaked through and wrinkled on girls' bodies to swimsuits.

Hairtails want to see swimsuits, I guess it’s just to see the exposed flesh, and it’s the same when you go to the swimming pool in Shanghai.

"Hey, Dai Yu, why are you so wretched, like an old man." Although Daiyu lowered his voice, Yu Luying still heard it and expressed her dissatisfaction: "How could Yan Xiao fall in love with someone like you? That's right, you already have Yan Xiao, what else do you want a romantic encounter?"

"Seeing Brother Fayao, I understand Brother Fayao," Daiyu said shamelessly, "This is the result of having your wife by your side all the time. You can only pretend to be serious. Yu Luying, when I go to chat with him, I will borrow Brother Yao for help. Don't worry, I won't let him participate. He will just stand by to help me build up my courage."

"You're so brave that your stomach can hardly hold any more. Do you still want to be strong? Be careful or it will explode." After Yu Luying finished complaining, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window and ignored the hairtail.

"Look at you, Jesus couldn't change you at all." Xiao Yao added.

"Brother Yao, forget it if she said so. Do you have the right to criticize me?" Daiyu turned around and glanced at Shen Jie, retorting.

"No." Xiao Yao replied coldly, then turned around and continued to whisper to Yu Luying.

At this moment, Shen Jie was sitting at the back of the bus, looking at the scene in front of her, feeling angry.

In fact, just yesterday, Xiao Yaogang did some ideological work on himself, or in other words, gave himself a shot of prevention.

What Xiao Yao meant was that during the summer camp at the seaside, he and she needed to keep a low profile in crowded places.

There are two reasons for this.

First of all, in Yu Lihua's eyes, Xiao Yao has broken up with her, Shen Jie, and is now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Yu Luying. Yu Lihua's younger brother, Yu Bo, also seems to understand this matter in this way.

Therefore, as long as Yu Bo was present, Xiao Yao had to go out with Yu Luying instead of alone.

Secondly, in order to avoid the news leaking out and being "arrested", Shen Jie used the pseudonym and new identity "Xu Qingwei" when participating in the Dongqi Summer Camp this time.

So, if Xiao Yao was noticed to be inexplicably too close to her, it would easily arouse suspicion and leak the news.

Due to these two reasons, this situation was caused - Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sat side by side in the front, flirting with each other, while he sat alone in the back like a big fool.

Although Shen Jie had verbally acknowledged and agreed with Xiao Yao's logic yesterday, when she was really left sitting on the bench, she realized that she had overestimated how broad-minded she was.

Now, who is the legal wife and who is the mistress?

This feels terrible.

Especially just now, that guy named Daiyu looked back at him with a wicked smile. What jokes were the three of them talking about behind his back?

Shen Jie put on a pair of big headphones, shut herself in her own world, and tried to find the feeling of this trip.

"I am as free as the wind, just like your tenderness cannot be retained. You push away my outstretched hands. Go away, it's better not to look back. Endless drifting, longing for freedom, all vicissitudes, bear all alone..." What came from the headphones was Xu Wei's vicissitudes of life singing.

Before she met Xiao Yao, Shen Jie had almost never listened to any Chinese songs. It was Xiao Yao who forced her to listen to Xu Wei's songs. Now she is a little addicted to them.

We've only known each other and been together for such a short time, but I've already been so deeply influenced by him, Shen Jie sighed to herself.

How much have I influenced him?

Thinking that this singer was recommended by Xiao Yao, Shen Jie wanted to stop singing out of spite.

But Xu Wei's songs are really suitable for listening while traveling, especially on the way to the beach, it is very suitable for the occasion.

The girl gently shook her little head to the beat of the music.

Shen Jie wore a small suit today, a gray pleated skirt with the hem about 3cm above the knee, and the same pair of black Dior leather shoes on her feet. She wore her favorite beret on her head, which was worn on the back of her head and fixed to her hair with a paper clip.

She gently rubbed her soft belly through her pleated skirt.

Today's weather was actually very suitable for traveling - it was very cloudy. When Shen Jie got up in the morning, she felt a little cold, which might have something to do with lack of sleep, so she wore a pair of thin skin-colored tights.

Of course, as an independent woman, there is absolutely no intention to please Xiao Yao.

It was just past 9 o'clock in the morning, the sun was beginning to shine, and outside the car window there was a... somewhat ominous scene, which made Shen Jie feel a little regretful.

Fortunately, the air conditioning in the car is strong enough, so the comfort level is still quite high.

Or, should I take it off secretly when I go to the bathroom later? It would be weird if someone noticed...

After all, the girl noticed that since she got on the bus, several pairs of eyes from the opposite sex would linger on her intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, this is normal, and she has long been used to it no matter where she goes.

Yu Luying once told herself that a saint once shaved her face.

What was it for? I forgot, but I can guess.

Shen Jie never approved of this kind of self-destructive behavior, but she vaguely understood why she did it.

...Yu Luying leaned her head on Xiao Yao's shoulder again. Really, can't you be...more shameless in public?

Shen Jie gently rotated the diamond ring on her left ring finger with the thumb and index finger of her right hand, and wanted to take it off and put it in her schoolbag in a huff.

……

Damn, it’s stuck and I can’t take it off!

The girl gave up trying dejectedly.

This "ring" really makes me "keep the ring" unilaterally, Shen Jie thought self-deprecatingly.

angry!

In fact, just yesterday, I discussed it with Xiao Yao and said, "Or I won't go."

"What's the point of me following him like this?" I seemed to say this at the time.

However, Xiao Yao expressed strong opposition in an excited tone and emotion on the spot, so I had to give up.

Now that I think about it, I still have to go. Otherwise, who knows how these two people will develop during these ten days of "being alone".

Looking at the bright side, Xiao Yao insisted on taking me with him, so he had good intentions and his heart was still on my side.

Moreover, living in that dungeon which cost twenty dollars a day was indeed very miserable.

Be it survival adaptation or extreme challenge, no matter how nice it sounds, it is self-torture and we can't just start complaining.

Besides, it's really boring - quite boring.

Catholics do not gain merit by feeding mosquitoes.

"The beach..." the girl murmured to herself.

The seaside is commonplace to her. She has been to Maldives, Dameisha, Boracay, Saipan, Bali and Koh Samui. Among them, Shen Jie likes Seychelles, Fiji and Tahiti the most. Since she can remember, Shen Hongsheng would take her, or more precisely, the whole family, to the seaside for vacation every summer. Therefore, this is as common as eating and drinking for Shen Jie.

Therefore, she really looked down upon the newly developed beach resort in Dongqi.

Well...but compared to doing nothing in a windowless room, it can't be a bad thing to go out and relax and enjoy the sea breeze.

Shen Jie turned her face to the boring scenery outside the car window, and thought of Shen Hongsheng. She couldn't help feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Will... the rest of my life, the next few decades, be spent like this?

Wherever that woman goes, Xiao Yao has to accompany her obediently, and as his wife, he can only go along with her... In that case, wouldn't I, I, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, become Yu Luying's briefcase?

This is really making me angrier the more I think about it.

Of course, the opposite can also be said to be true—no matter where Xiao Yao wants to accompany her, as long as she doesn't tear her face, she, Yu Luying, will also try to accompany her as much as possible.

...but it's still weird.

Follow wherever you go, and it's still aboveboard, and I have to thank others.

Of course, it is also possible that he cannot go because of Yu Luying, or Xiao Yao cannot go.

Shen Jie felt a little regretful.

The ironclad facts are before us. What if I give her a concubine after marriage? It is convenient for others and for myself.

I really shouldn't have been so stubborn during the truth or dare game that day.

Breaking up with Yu Luying was more like a whim than a rational choice.

Of course, Shen Jie was not against accepting the reconciliation that Xiao Yao had always proposed.

But you can’t take the initiative on your own.

Shen Jie turned her head back to the interior of the bus.

According to her observation, the essence of this "summer camp" is actually a "summer camp for college students". It cannot be said that there are no middle school students, but there are very few, and most of them are familiar faces.

Am I still a middle school student?

I guess so. At least it’s still summer vacation and the No. 7 Girls’ High School in the city still retains my student status.

student status...

She saw Father Yang with white temples, holding a microphone, standing at the front of the car facing everyone, and she didn't know what to say, but Shen Jie didn't intend to take off the earphones just yet.

Xiao Yao, Yu Luying and Daiyu stopped chatting, laughing and joking and listened to the old priest attentively. Yu Bo was sitting in his seat, and his face could not be seen from this angle. Zhang Jialong and Chen Lu were sitting in the window seats to their right front and were bending down to take out... rosary beads from their bags?

Oh, is it time to recite the sutra?

Shen Jie also had a set of rosary beads, which were given to her by Yu Luying before, but it seemed that she had left them in Xijiao Garden - she forgot to take them with her when she escaped from the skyscraper.

What should I do? Should I take a nap or continue reading and listening to music? Would that be bad? Or should I blend in with the crowd and chant sutras?

Shen Jie subconsciously took off her headphones and looked around in a daze, wondering whether she should go up and ask Yu Bo for one.

A palm patted on his right shoulder.

Shen Jie turned around in confusion and saw a girl with a round face. She was wearing a pair of round-frame glasses that were big enough to cover half of her face. Her bangs hung very low and her appearance was quite... ordinary?

On the girl's outstretched hand was a simple string of glass beads.

"Thank you." After thanking the other party, Shen Jie reached out to take the rosary.

After reciting the Rosary with everyone, the round-faced girl sat in the empty seat to the right of Shen Jie.

"Thank you." Shen Jie thanked her again politely.

The girl returned the rosary to the girl, but the girl waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "You can use it. I have several more."

"Okay... Well, thanks?" Shen Jie wasn't too polite to her.

It’s strange, usually girls who look like this are quite gloomy, but this one looks like a tomboy, and is very outgoing?

"My name is Qiu Yiting, I'm from the maritime department, you can just call me Lucia." The girl introduced herself enthusiastically.

"Is Lucia your Christian name?" Shen Jie asked curiously.

"Yes, Holy Name," Lucia asked back, "What about you?"

"My name is S...Xu, Xu Qingwei," Shen Jie said, "Christian name, uh, Mary..."

"Look!" Qiu Yiting, who called herself "Luzia", ​​interrupted Shen Jie excitedly: "It's the sea! We're at the beach!"

Chapter 281 Beach! Bikini! Girl!

"Look!" Qiu Yiting, who called herself "Luzia", ​​interrupted Shen Jie excitedly: "It's the sea! We're at the beach!"

Shen Jie turned her head to look out the window, pretending to be very interested and looking excited.

The scenery outside the car window has indeed changed. A light blue boundary between the sea and the sky appears in the field of vision. The breeze blows across the sea, causing tiny ripples.
