You are my wife, don't doubt it!

He thought about the song the three of them had sung when they sat together.

Slowly, he began to ruminate on the days he spent in the dungeon and the days he would vacation in the town of Dongru.

The boy opened his phone and looked at the two newly taken photos again.

In Yu Bo's catechism class, Xiao Yao learned that Iesu's divinity and humanity were like a mixture of wine and water, which could not be divided or separated.

The same is true of his love and lust. It is difficult to say which is which, but they are both the loneliness of being alone and unable to sleep, and the real and sincere longing for his lovers upstairs and downstairs.

Just like the love of most young people, it is shameless and extremely pure.

The phone screen lit up, it was a message from Shen Jie.

Xiao Yao cheered up.

He carefully confirmed that it was Shen Jie, in order to avoid replying with the wrong answer again.

Shen Jie's message contained only three words: "Are you asleep?"

"not yet."

"I just finished taking a shower, why are you still awake?"

"I'm thinking about you." Xiao Yao answered truthfully, but without saying "we".

"He's smooth-talking and not serious at all." Shen Jie said.

"Oh, it's so hard to tell the truth and not be believed," said Xiao Yao.

"Why are you thinking about me? Thinking about me doing something bad?"

...Are you sure you're not flirting?

"I would like to, but I don't dare." Xiao Yao continued to tell the truth.

"I want to see you."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yao's heart was pounding.

"Right now." Shen Jie said.

"Stop it." Xiao Yao typed these two words, deleted them, and replaced them with "Okay, where shall we meet?"

After the message was sent, Shen Jie fell silent again.

Xiao Yao waited for several minutes and was about to send another "?" when Shen Jie's message came: "The elevator entrance on the seventh floor...how is it?"

Xiao Yao wins! The vicious woman loses!

Chapter 292 Does She Like Me So Much Already?

2023-08-11

Xiao Yao stupidly walked back and forth in front of the elevator door on the seventh floor for more than 20 minutes, but he didn't wait for the "ding" sound. Shen Jie came out of the stairwell, and when she saw Xiao Yao, she waved her hand and led him into the dark and rumbling stairwell.

Shen Jie stood at the staircase, barefoot in comfortable slippers and a low-cut white T-shirt. She stamped her feet lightly, and the sensor lights in the corridor lit up. The hem of the T-shirt was very long, covering her bare thighs, making her look like she was wearing nothing underneath.

Xiao Yao had seen a few girls dressed like this on the street, and he secretly looked down on them. If Shen Jie went out dressed like this, he, Xiao Yao, would definitely curse her.

The neckline of this T-shirt is very low, outlining her collarbone and slender neck, exuding a confident and sexy aura - Xiao Yao even saw about 1/3 of the northern hemisphere.

Shen Jie noticed Xiao Yao's gaze, as if she saw through what he was thinking. She stretched out her arms and turned them in front of Xiao Yao's eyes: "Does it look good? - Oh, I know you don't let me wear it like this, so I wear it in my room as pajamas. There's no one here, so I'll wear it out and show it to you."

Xiao Yao had nothing to say, so he could only swallow his water silently and said softly, "It looks good."

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and was about to take a picture.

Shen Jie complained, but actually she let him take the photo openly.

"If you dare to spread the news, I will blow your head off!" The girl said kindly, but then she felt it was too much.

Xiao Yao put down his phone and walked over to hug her with a smile, but the girl dodged nimbly: "Don't."

"?" Xiao Yao showed a puzzled look in his eyes.

"If Yu Luying knew," Shen Jie explained, "that we sneaked out again after the three of us had dispersed, how would she feel?"

Xiao Yao nodded slightly, thinking that it made a lot of sense.

Shen Jie is still as mature and sensible as ever, and she started to care about Yu Luying's feelings so quickly.

"I'm not concerned about her," Shen Jie seemed to see through Xiao Yao's thoughts again: "I'm thinking about you. If she's unhappy, the one she'll quarrel with tomorrow won't be me, but you. Even if I don't quarrel with you, I'll show my face to you - I'm just a nobody anyway."

Xiao Yao put on a touched look, because he was really touched.

How should I put it? When Shen Jie said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I know you don't let me wear this, so I wear it as pajamas in my room," Xiao Yao was already very moved.

Xiao Yao knew very well that, in fact, just from the perspective of freedom of dress, Shen Jie had always been considerate of his feelings since the first day they established a relationship.

Well, at least generally speaking - sometimes reluctantly, but in the end...

This is true whether you actively buy him clothes that he likes or, to a certain extent, try to avoid things that he dislikes.

For example, she bought herself flesh-colored socks at the beginning, and she rarely wore those overly revealing clothes such as belly-baring tops or culottes that were too short.

The boy did not take this for granted, because as far as he knew, those who had girlfriends or had girlfriends - he asked Brother Long, Xiao Xiong, Daiyu and others, their girlfriends or ex-girlfriends could not do this.

While lamenting the decline of morals and the change of people's hearts, Xiao Yao also strengthened his cherishment for Shen Jie.

But even so, Shen Jie's actions are one thing, but her harsh words are another.

Xiao Yao always regarded this as her last pride.

But just now, she said shamelessly, "I know you don't let me dress like this, so I..."

This means that even in her words, she was completely open about herself.

"Hey, hey, what are you staring at?" Shen Jie waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"No, nothing." Xiao Yao shook his head: "Why did you take so long to come out? I waited for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Lucia suddenly got up to urinate and sat in the bathroom for a long time," Shen Jie said apologetically, "I was afraid of being discovered by her, so I had to wait until she fell asleep again before doing it secretly... I would have been criticized for going back so late..."

Lucia, it’s Lucia again, Xiao Yao thought indignantly.

Is she your mom?

"I want to ask you something." Shen Jie asked mysteriously, with a bit of embarrassment in her expression: "When I asked you what you were doing just now, you said you were thinking about me. Is that true or false?"

"Of course it's true." Xiao Yao said so of course.

"What do you think? Can you be more specific?" Shen Jie asked.

"?" Xiao Yao was a little confused. What a weird way of asking.

He thought about it, answered truthfully and described how he felt when he was lying alone in bed and unable to sleep.

The boy talked about his discomfort when sleeping alone, his longing for Shen Jie's soul and body, his recollection of his recent date with a past partner, his restlessness and concerns, and his desire to live with Shen Jie forever. In short, he reported everything truthfully, only deleting the part about Yu Luying and his uneasiness about Lucia.

Xiao Yao's description was so bold, passionate and straightforward that he thought the girl would definitely laugh at, ridicule and scold him - at least on the surface.

But she didn't.

Shen Jie leaned forward slightly, leaned close to Xiao Yao's ear, and whispered, "Actually, I'm pretty much the same as you."

Xiao Yao's heart trembled.

The girl talked to him about the sudden throbbing she felt while taking a shower, about her memories of the date as she tossed and turned in bed, and about the concerns she had about being in summer camp and having her roommate right next to her.

Therefore, on impulse, she asked him out.

Gazing at Shen Jie's pure and lovely face, and listening to her telling him those shameless thoughts in a generous, unconcealed and implicit manner, Xiao Yao felt a strong sense of disharmony and contrast.

Or...it would be better if you were a little more reserved in your words?

But, are we really so... coordinated?

"But we can't do anything when we meet," Xiao Yao pointed out, "We can only sit here and look at each other."

"Isn't that enough?" Shen Jie said softly, "Just sitting together like this, talking, even if we don't say anything, just staying like this, I feel... a lot more comfortable."

Xiao Yao's lips twitched.

Does it turn out that she likes me so much?

How is this possible?

How virtuous and capable am I?

The boy was about to cry.

"That's right." Xiao Yao said with a slightly trembling voice.

He seemed to see the prompt "Strategy Progress 100%" above Shen Jie's head, and for a moment he was at a loss.

Both rationality and sensibility are cheering for this, but there is also a sense of unreality that "it's happening too fast", a sense of uneasiness that "I'm not ready yet", and a sense of shamelessness that "I haven't played enough, how come I've already finished the game"... I can't put it into words.

She could now tell him everything without hiding anything, Xiao Yao thought.

Whether it is the thoughtfulness of "Because you don't let me, so I...", the lust of a young girl in love, or the love of "I feel calm as long as I am with you".

This feeling is like an old couple who have been married for many years. The wife will not avoid her husband's casualness when she goes to the toilet - she doesn't even close the door. It's like a book is open in front of you. It makes people feel safe and trusting, but they can't help but miss the mystery and expectation of seeing flowers in the fog at the beginning.

...Don't think too much, just return her love, that's all.

"You have such a silly smile on your face. What are you grinning about?" Shen Jie asked angrily.

The sensor light in the corridor went out.

Xiao Yao heard his own and the other person's heavy breathing, and sat a little closer.

The book says that people's hormone secretion increases in the second half of the night, and maybe it's true.

Increased hormones don’t just mean you’ll do strange things, it also means you’ll say nonsense.

Both boys and girls - if it was daytime, Shen Jie might not be able to say those words?

Xiao Yao also wanted to say something.

The distance between the boy and Shen Jie was getting closer and closer, but their bodies never touched.

He tried hard to control his urge to hug her.

"I want to marry you..." Xiao Yao said sincerely.

When the sensor light heard this, it lit up with curiosity and excitement.

"Ah?" Shen Jie said.

"We will be baptized next Easter... no, this year, and then we will ask Bogo to help us get married privately, and then, and then..."

Shen Jie smiled strangely: "Are you serious?"

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Brother Bo was probably going to beat him to death.

Shen Jie yawned loudly: "Okay, let's go back."

"I do not……"

……

Xiao Yao had only slept for two or three hours when he was woken up by Gao Sijun.

He had a splitting headache and couldn't remember whether the tryst with Shen Jie in the corridor at night was real or just a dream.

I vaguely remember that I sat in the corridor for a long time until my butt was cold.

At first I knew what I was talking about, but later I had no idea what we were talking about. We got tired and sleepy, and for a while we didn't speak and just looked at each other.

I don’t know how long it will take before I get tired of seeing this face.

Finally, at Shen Jie's suggestion, they played the game of "look into each other's eyes and see who laughs first".

How childish.

How did I come back in the end?

Yes, just look at your phone to know whether you are dreaming or not.

"It's time for mass," Gao Sijun saw Xiao Yao was still in a daze and called him again, "It's too late."

No, what time is it now?! My morning reading class in the third grade of Dongru was not this early?

"Ah," Xiao Yao responded subconsciously, "Can I not go?"

Gao Sijun looked at him as if he were an alien.
