You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"I know," Xiao Yao admitted, "but I care about this matter out of fairness and justice. I also know that if it were Brother Bo, he would definitely act in a fair and just manner."

"Stop flattering me. What do you mean by fairness and justice? Haven't you heard that even an honest judge can hardly judge family disputes?" Yu Bo glared at him and said, "Do you think I don't know about this? One is my elder brother, and the other is my sister. As a monk, what right do I have to interfere?"

Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. He just subconsciously flipped through the book in his hand, his brain working rapidly.

Will this work for him? Will it be a case of showing off one's skills before an expert? Will it backfire? For now, it seems that all we can do is give it a try.

Based on his fragmentary memory, the boy flipped the pages of the book in his hand from front to back and then from back to front.

Please, come out soon...

He took a deep breath.

“Justice. Justice is pure religion in the sight of God the Father: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:27.”

Yu Bo remained silent.

Xiao Yao continued to flip through the small book in his hand: "Second Samuel, Chapter 12: In a city there were two men, one rich and one poor. The poor man had nothing except a little ewe. He bought the little ewe and raised it. The little ewe grew up beside him and his children, ate his own food, drank from his own cup, slept in his arms, and he treated it like his own daughter. A traveler came to the rich man, but he was reluctant to use his own cattle and sheep to entertain the traveler who came to him, so he took the poor man's ewe to entertain the traveler..."

"Enough, shut up!" Yu Bo slapped the steering wheel lightly, and the car made a loud "beep" sound, which scared Xiao Yao.

Yu Bo reached out and snatched the scripture back from Xiao Yao, threw it into the armrest box, and slammed the box shut: "You want to recite the scriptures with me, right?"

Xiao Yao saw that Yu Bo was really angry, but he didn't know that he was not angry with him. However, he still mustered up his courage and answered loudly: "Yes!"

The car started suddenly, Xiao Yao leaned back on the seat, and then fell on the right door.

"I have to go back to the Magic City. It's already late." Yu Bo said, "I'll take you back to the hotel."

Yu Bo looked unhappy along the way, and Xiao Yao tactfully kept silent.

"You have a bad reputation, not just in school, you know?" Yu Bo finally spoke.

"I know... a little bit." Xiao Yao's heart trembled.

Xiao Yao actually didn't know much.

Are you talking about the things in the forums? That's just an extension of what happens in school, right?

Besides, how did Bo Ge know those things on the Internet?

Ah, yes, he also often goes online and plays games.

Then he had also heard about those...

"I know that you can't take everything on the Internet seriously. I've read it all and that's it," Yu Bo said, "but when you have enemies, these things will become the basis for them to target you."

"I...I know."

"No matter what my eldest brother says about you, the one who makes the final decision and signs the document is still the old man." Yu Bo told Xiao Yao.

"I understand." Xiao Yao replied.

"What I know now is that, at least during this summer camp, the old man will keep watching you to see what kind of person you are: a good Christian or someone like my brother-in-law. He will care about what you and Yingying do every day - and he may not necessarily see you in person."

"You mean..." Xiao Yao confirmed hesitantly, "He will place spies and secret agents around me? That's why you want the two of us in the car..."

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Bo tapped the steering wheel lightly: "But everyone around you, the campers, the priests, the mentors, the volunteers from the logistics team, the security guards from the hotel... everyone is not blind. I mean, what they see and hear may become evidence for the old man to judge you, do you understand? There will always be people who see what kind of person you are." Yu Bo explained.

"So you don't know who the spy is, or who they are," Xiao Yao said.

"No one is a secret agent. Even if there is one, I can't tell you." Yu Bo shook his head and said, "I have said too much."

Xiao Yao: "..."

"Like you, snoring loudly during Taize, playing until 2 a.m., falling asleep during mass, and being affectionate with Yingying in public -"

"Sweetheart?" Xiao Yao said.

"Do you think you are the only couple in the camp? Who is as high-profile as you?" Yu Bo said, "There are no college students - no one cares if you are in a relationship, but can you remain elegant in public?"

Xiao Yao: "..."

The boy really started to have a headache.

"I have made it very clear. Be a good camper and lead her to be a pious couple. This is the greatest help you can bring to Yingying now." Yu Bo drove into the parking lot of the Shengai Hotel and slowly stopped: "God can see it, and everyone can see it too."

"Brother Bo," Xiao Yao raised his head and asked, "If her grandfather and I prove ourselves, can you help me do some ideological work on Yu Luying?"

"Don't worry, she will listen to me." Yu Bo said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yao got out of the car and watched Yu Bo's black sedan drive away.

Suddenly I felt a little hungry.

Oh, yes, I haven’t had a bite of breakfast yet.

Xiao Yao walked towards the dining room, wanting to see if he could find some leftovers.

Although Yu Luying had eaten and wasn't particularly hungry, she still felt empty and uneasy.

Halfway through the journey, he was stopped by a very cute little girl: "Are you Xiao Yao?"

"Ah, it's me."

"The classroom is over there, you are already late." said the little girl.

"Ah, sorry, I had a little talk with Father Yu..."

"Sign your name," the little girl handed over a form on a plastic sheet and a ballpoint pen, "and then choose a group."

Xiao Yao secretly looked at her while signing, wondering if this person was Grandpa Yu's "spy"?

"Praise Iesu." Xiao Yao said.

The little girl gave him a strange look and said, "And here, choose a group."

Grouping...

Church history, church architecture, new believer training, basic Latin... Oh, so this is an elective course? What is this, color psychology, basic vocal music, and beach volleyball?! What is this...

"Excuse me, Shen...Xu, uh, which group did Yu Luying choose?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

Chapter 294 Be a Good Child

2023-08-14

"Excuse me, Shen...Xu, uh, which group did Yu Luying choose?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

“I don’t know,” the girl said, “and we encourage students to choose courses based on their own needs and interests, rather than just hanging out with their friends.”

Xiao Yao thought about it, and the tip of the ballpoint pen moved across "Beach Volleyball" and finally landed on "Church History".

As a history lover, this is the obvious choice.

"Then you can come to Group D." The girl pointed in the direction of the elevator: "The classroom is in the large conference hall on the second floor."

Xiao Yao found his way to the conference hall and slipped in through the back door without causing any commotion.

The conference hall was really big. At first glance, it looked like there were hundreds of people inside, and the lecturer was speaking with a microphone.

This should be a class, not an elective course, right? Xiao Yao found his way to Yu Luying and sat down, searching for Shen Jie's figure in the crowd.

Found her, she was sleeping soundly next to Lucia.

Come to think of it, I have never seen Shen Jie sleeping in class. I think she must be very cute. I really want to observe her up close.

The instructor was wearing a black nun's uniform and a long black shawl on her head. The area below the collar and on her forehead was white, just like what she saw on TV. She spoke with a Taiwanese accent.

There was a PPT on the big projection screen with the title "What are you looking for?"

"If the level of happiness is from 0 to 10, with 0 being okay and 10 being incredibly happy, what level am I at?" The instructor was beaming with joy and his body language was very rich.

"Level 5, or Level 7?" Xiao Yao thought for a moment and whispered to Yu Luying.

"You really don't know how to appreciate the blessings you have," Yu Luying commented.

"Then let's make it 8." Xiao Yao said, "Before May, it was a negative number, but now it's 5, thank God."

"This is Sister Peng from Daiwan. She is very famous and her lectures are very good," Yu Luying introduced.

"What factors affect my happiness or unhappiness? What kind of life do I want? Where are my life plans, future, dreams, values, and happiness?" Sister Peng asked. "Where is God in my life plans and choices? What role does He play?"

What role does he play? Did he feel sorry for me and send Tianyun back? If that's the case, it is said that if you make a wish and don't fulfill it, you will be struck by lightning.

……

No, the more I listen the more sleepy I feel.

The main reason is that I didn’t get much sleep last night. Now as soon as I sit here and listen to a large lecture, I can’t hold on any longer. I even feel like vomiting, purely physiologically.

At that time, I was fine with catechism, theology and history in Yu Bo's class, but this time I couldn't stand listening to chicken soup for the soul instead...

……

No, I can't sleep.

Yu Bo made it very clear that I had to be a good camper and not make any more mistakes. Fortunately, his father helped Yu Luying regain impression points.

Damn it, how does Yu Luying stay so energetic?

Xiao Yao turned to look at Yu Luying and saw that she had closed her eyes and drooped her head.

>&< You won’t get penalized if you fall asleep, right?

Xiao Yao secretly observed the surrounding environment.

Among the hundreds of people in this large classroom, there might be one or several people who are secretly paying attention to me.

Everyone has a chance. All of you.

Is it him? Is it him? Or is it her? Did that little girl just now look back at me? …

Suddenly, it seemed as if everyone was winking at me and whispering.

No, if I continue like this I'm going to develop paranoia.

It was useless to be suspicious. Xiao Yao tried to sit up straight and stared at the nun holding the microphone on the stage with wide eyes. His pupils began to lose focus.

What sin have I committed...

My eyelids feel a bit heavy...

It's getting heavier...

Closed.

After two seconds, open it.

Strong will is the most precious quality of human beings.

And my will is as strong as steel!

If only I had taken a box of matches in the restaurant just now, at least I could use it to hold up my eyelids?

Xiao Yao lowered his head and closed his eyes again.

Ok? !

He raised his head and shook it vigorously, feeling the flesh on his cheeks shake twice.

The feeling of nausea was getting worse and worse, and Xiao Yao felt like crying.

He punched himself on the head, then Yu Luying woke up and looked at him angrily.

"I'm sorry..." Xiao Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"If you're sleepy, just take a nap. The nun won't bother with you." Yu Luying rubbed her head unhappily.

"No, that would be disrespectful to teachers. I want to be a good Christian," Xiao Yao said seriously.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Yu Luying closed her eyes again and lowered her head.

Did I take the wrong medicine? It's all for you.

……

The eyes closed again.

Human reason, will and emotions are so fragile in the face of physical desires...

No wonder St. Paul lamented: "My mortal body!"

Open your eyes.

Is it open?
