You are my wife, don't doubt it!

The previous anger returned to the girl's pretty face. She raised her eyebrows again, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"What are you sorry for?" Shen Jie finally spoke and gave her answer.

Xiao Yao took a breath of cold air.

In his expectation or imagination, after Yu Luying lowered her head on her own initiative, even if Shen Jie didn't immediately come forward gently, she would at least apologize to Yu Luying and say that she was not good either - at least she wouldn't have such an arrogant, condescending, and overbearing attitude and tone.

Just like a mother to her son, like a strong girlfriend to her boyfriend, the sentence "What are you sorry for?"... This way of responding, this style of interrogating a prisoner, is really inconsistent with Shen Jie's usual personality.

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao tried to use these two words to persuade Shen Jie not to be so aggressive, but it obviously didn't work.

He stole a glance at Yu Luying, whose expression didn't change much. Yu Luying said, "I shouldn't have been deliberately provoking you and angering you after I came to the hotel where you two were staying that day."

"I thought you regretted giving up halfway."

"Also," Yu Luying ignored her sarcastic words, "I shouldn't have forced Xiao Yao to go home with me for dinner that day, and deliberately dragged him back very late. I just wanted to..."

"Let me tell you," Shen Jie said coldly, "Overtime today?"

Xiao Yao secretly groaned in his heart. How could this be an apology or admitting one's mistake? Wasn't this a direct provocation?

"I'm sorry, you misunderstood." There was a hint of sadness in Yu Luying's tone: "I was too stubborn that day - at least he is still my lover now, I don't want him to always focus on you, always put you first, even if nine out of ten things prioritize you and one prioritizes me, I will be satisfied."

Shen Jie was slightly stunned.

"So I did that on purpose that day, hoping to prove that he could give me priority just once." Yu Luying said, "I'm sorry."

Shen Jie: "..."

Xiao Yao roared in his heart: You are selling me out too!

"I should respect you, Shen Jie." Yu Luying said these words. Rather than speaking to Shen Jie, it was more like she was trying to convince herself: "You are older than me, and you once risked your life to save mine. You allowed Xiao Yao to be with me out of kindness and generosity... People like you deserve my respect."

Xiao Yao felt water running down his cheek and wanted to hand a tissue to Yu Luying, but he didn't have any.

"That's enough," Shen Jie held her forehead and said weakly, "Don't talk about it anymore. What happened last time... I forced you at that time... I just hoped you could understand, I didn't really want to..."

"Okay," Yu Luying said, "I understand."

"I'm sorry, I know that's an insult..." Shen Jie said.

"Please stop talking..." Yu Luying started to curl her fingers with the ends of her hair again.

What's going on? Has the situation finally entered the pre-set benign track of mutual apologies and self-reflection? It seems not quite right...

"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao clapped his hands and said, "Shake hands, hug each other, and we'll still be good friends. This little friction will be over."

Neither of the two girls moved.

Xiao Yao walked forward, grabbed one person's hand with each hand, slapped them together, and shook them up and down.

There was no smile on the faces of the two girls.

"I want to apologize to both of you, too," Xiao Yao said a little incoherently, "Actually, for you, no, for me, I feel guilty towards both of you. I... although symbiosis is not actually my fault, but... in fact, the two of you can become good friends because of me, a boy with bad habits and completely imperfect, and things have become so awkward. If I could be better, if I could do better, maybe you wouldn't have any conflicts..."

"You still know." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao hooked one of them by the neck with one hand and pulled the three heads together, pressing them against each other.

"I give you a new commandment...You must love one another..." Xiao Yao rested his head on Shen Jie's head on the left and Yu Luying's head on the right. He gently rocked and rubbed the two girls' heads, singing the song he learned from Yu Bo's catechism class: "You must love one another, so that the world will know that you are my disciples~disciples~"

The breath exhaled by the three people sprayed together, and Xiao Yao just felt that it smelled so good.

"Shen Jie, the two of us," Yu Luying whispered, "Let's all get along equally, shall we?"

Yu Luying put forward her core demands.

"Of course," Shen Jie gently refuted the question, "In the eyes of God, each of us is equal in personality."

Yu Luying smiled bitterly and said nothing.

……

The clear and close-up "fake starry sky curtain" was still hanging in front of their eyes. The three people sat on the beach, leaning against each other, and no one spoke.

The so-called cuddling each other actually meant that Xiao Yao sat in the middle, with his left hand hooked around Yu Luying's left shoulder, his right hand hooked around Shen Jie's right shoulder, and his two arms passed through the backs of the two girls respectively, allowing them both to lean on their shoulders.

He knew very well that the problem was still somewhere between "completely unsolved" and "not completely solved".

Just like what is written in the political textbooks, some contradictions cannot be reconciled but can only be eased.

Today, both of them are willing to save their face and restore the harmonious coexistence among the three of them on the surface.

This means that we at least have a chance to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

Even though he is still himself in the future.

Xiao Yao believed that this reconciliation required a solemn ceremony.

The boy lowered his head to the right. Shen Jie did not respond, so he lifted the girl's chin with his right palm.

Even though Yu Luying was right next to them, Shen Jie still let him do what he wanted.

Half a minute later, he let go of Shen Jie and lowered his head to the left again.

Yu Luying hesitated for a few seconds and responded rather passively.

Then, he patted Xiao Yao and pointed at Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao understood what he meant and lowered his head to the right again.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Jie subconsciously tried to push him away, but failed.

……

"How does it feel?" Xiao Yao stared at the darkness in front of him.

“…It’s still too weird.” Yu Luying said.

"Yeah, I'm a little uncomfortable with it too." Xiao Yao said.

After all, this was the first time that such a weird thing was done openly.

"Shen Jie?"

"...Ah." Shen Jie seemed to have just come to her senses: "What are you doing?"

"Let's play a dare," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Some people couldn't afford to play the last dare, so let's make it up today."

"What big adventure?"

"The one with three people."

"Do you still have some shame?"

"Isn't this the big adventure you mentioned?" Xiao Yao reminded Shen Jie.

Shen Jie: "...Okay, I suggested it, so let's do it, I've made up for it."

This was the first time the three of them had done something intimate together since they ran into Wang Ming, Zhou Yao and the others while holding hands while shopping before Shen Jie returned home.

A big step up in the stage.

"Does this count as making up for it?" Xiao Yao teased Shen Jie.

"What else do you want?" Yu Luying said.

"How about we just try it together, the three of us, and do the same thing we just did?" Xiao Yao said half-jokingly.

"I refuse!" Yu Luying shouted.

"It would be better if you just died." Shen Jie said.

"Well, it seems a bit strange," Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you all give me a massage together."

"Do you really think you are the master?"

"No, I mean, you all take off your shoes, and then,"

"I have a new big adventure plan." Shen Jie said to Yu Luying with a smile.

"I have one too," said Yu Luying.

"Throw him into the sea!" "Throw him into the sea to feed the cutlass fish!"

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Xiao Yao struggled: "And why is it hairtail?"

Shen Jie said: "I feel very unhappy now."

Yu Luying: “Me too.”

"What are you upset about? Yu Luying, think carefully. If the hairtail eats me, you will also feel pain."

"You forced us to reconcile just to make us both your playthings?..."

"What kind of plaything is this? This is a blasphemy against love! It's unfair! My Lord, it's unfair! Love and peace! Can the affairs of scholars be called playthings?——"

……

……

……

After a fight, the three of them were sitting or lying on the beach in a mess.

"Shen Jie," Yu Luying suddenly said, "There is something important that I need to talk to both of you about."

"Go ahead." Shen Jie broke free from Xiao Yao's arms and moved to the right.

Xiao Yao turned his head and looked at her: "?"

"It's very hot." Shen Jie explained to Xiao Yao.

It's late at night, and the sea breeze is blowing. Where is it so hot?

"My grandfather and uncle already know that Xiao Yao is here," Yu Luying leaned forward, trying to touch the rising waves: "Will they tell your father?"

"Do they know that Xiao Yao is here?" Shen Jie repeated Yu Luying's words.

"Let me tell you." Xiao Yao volunteered.

Yu Luying wanted to stop him, but Xiao Yao had already told Shen Jie about how he, Daiyu and Yu Luying met the two elders of the Yu family in the lobby of the Shengai Hotel. Then he talked about what he heard in the bathroom on the sixth floor. He just mentioned it in passing and blurred the part about Yu Luying's family affairs, saying only that the eldest uncle of the Yu family used Xiao Yao's "good reputation" as an excuse to fight for the family property.

Despite this, Yu Luying still felt that Xiao Yao talked too much and pinched her thighs wildly.

Xiao Yao closed his mouth, and Shen Jie also suddenly fell silent.

"Although you are here under the alias Xu Qingwei, Xiao Yao is not hiding his real name," Yu Luying explained, "My grandfather and the others know about you and Xiao Yao, and they also know that Xiao Yao is here. Will they tell your father..."

"Once the Shen family sends people to the summer camp to arrest me, they might discover the eldest daughter of the Shen family." Xiao Yao's tone was also a little worried.

"It's unlikely," Shen Jie said. "Although there are business contacts, at most they are just contacts between the general managers. My family usually only meets her occasionally in social occasions, not like the girls in our class. And there were some competitive relationships in the past. Maybe they are happy to see the joke..."

"But the adults are all in the same group." Yu Luying reminded Shen Jie.

"That's right, the adults are all in the same group." Xiao Yao said.

The final temporary conclusion is to observe carefully, act cautiously, and be ready to run away at any time.

"Why don't you talk to your uncle Bobo and ask him?" Xiao Yao said.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Yu Luying said.

"I'm going to Dongqi Town tomorrow to buy a pair of glasses like Lucia's, and get a hairstyle like hers, and dress up as a disguise?" Shen Jie said.

"Which one is Lucia?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"It's my roommate." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

"That vicious woman..." Xiao Yao said, "That's fine."

"What a vicious woman! Lucia is a nice person." Shen Jie said dissatisfiedly: "Then let's keep a low profile during the day and continue to pretend that we don't know each other."

"I feel like your silly sister and I need to be more low-key in front of others." Xiao Yao pondered.

"You think too much. I don't care at all," Shen Jie lied, "Whatever happens, happens."

"?" Xiao Yao said: "What I want is not to give Yu Luying's uncle more excuses - ah, of course, taking care of your feelings is also one of my considerations."

"Why do you care about his uncle?" Yu Luying yelled.

"You're overthinking it," Shen Jie lay on Xiao Yao's thighs, with her legs straight on the beach and her feet resting on a rock. "If someone wants to find something to hold against you, they'll always be able to find it."

“That’s what I told him,” Yu Luying muttered, “He just keeps thinking about it.”

"Even if you officially break up with Yu Luying tomorrow," Shen Jie continued, "or Yu Luying dumps you, even if you two become enemies later, even if you can prove that you have nothing to do with Yu Luying, her uncle can still use this matter to make a fuss, and her grandfather will still be concerned about this matter. Do you know why?"

"Why?"
