You are my wife, don't doubt it!

When he reached the bicycle parking area outside the school gate, his cell phone vibrated.

Xiao Yao picked it up and read it in a hurry. When he found that the message was sent by Yu Luying instead of Shen Jie, he felt a little disappointed for some reason.

"Why haven't you had dinner yet? I'm about to start rehearsals, so you should go back early too."

Xiao Yao replied "Go back now" and kicked the bicycle kickstand up.

My dear comrade Shen Jie, if I approach Yu Luying now, it won't be considered a betrayal to you, right?

This chapter may make you feel depressed and frustrated, but it is a necessary part of the whole story. I promise you that the situation between the hero and her will not last long. In a few chapters, things will take a turn for the better and become better than before.

Chapter 42 Ouyang

2023-07-31

Xiao Yao returned home and wanted to discuss the matter with Shen Jie with Shen Tianyun, but he waited and waited and his daughter did not come back.

Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep leaning on her bed.

I slept until dawn and missed the morning self-study.

Fortunately, Teacher Yao didn't say much. She just waved her hand with a dark face, signaling him to go back to his seat quickly.

Damn it... How dare you stay out all night again.

Xiao Yao lay listlessly on the table, his head resting on one arm. His hand drooped from the edge of the table, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

In this world, the only thing more outrageous than becoming a father at the age of 15 is obviously becoming a grandfather at the age of 16.

No matter what, she is my daughter after all.

I must break her legs! Xiao Yao thought bitterly.

Although, it seems like I might not be able to win in a head-on PK?

"Shen Tianyun didn't come back last night again." Xiao Yao edited the text message, but deleted it without sending it.

If I send her a message at this critical moment, she will think I'm looking for an excuse to chat her up, right?

After school, Xiao Yao followed Ouyang Qianqian to a restaurant.

Today the child is wearing a small round hat, a British-style knee-length round skirt, dark gray stockings and small leather shoes with heels.

Xiao Yao sat face to face with her in the western restaurant, feeling uncomfortable.

“This place isn’t cheap, is it?”

"I already told you it's my treat!" Ouyang Qianqian pouted, "As a brother, you shouldn't be so fussy."

Xiao Yao carefully picked up some noodles with his fork, and rotated it against the inside of the spoon, trying to wrap the noodles around the fork.

"Waiter, please bring this gentleman a pair of chopsticks." Ouyang Qianqian rolled his eyes and couldn't help laughing: "My dear brother, this crayfish pasta you ordered is too Chinese and Western, isn't it? Don't you really want to try the Wellington steak here? Don't you love meat the most? You are so thick-skinned usually, why are you really going to be polite to me today?"

Why are all the girls around me so rich? Is this the world where sons are raised poorly and daughters are raised well? Xiao Yao cried in his heart.

"No," Xiao Yao explained, "Today is Friday, and I promised... promised someone that I wouldn't eat meat on Friday."

Ouyang Qianqian's eyes widened: "You two have come to this point, and you still ask me if she likes you?"

"Ah? To what extent?"

"Does that mean you want to join the church before she agrees to it? Isn't that too... one-sided?"

"No, no, don't think too much." Xiao Yao shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to explain: "We just restored our friendship, and I don't want to join any religion."

I can't just tell the truth, because Yu Luying and I have a symbiotic relationship, and out of humanitarianism, I voluntarily don't let Yu Luying taste meat on Friday, right?

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk…” Ouyang Qianqian shook her head repeatedly: “You two are simply in a bloody and abusive relationship~”

"Hey, why do you always speak in such an exaggerated tone, like you are acting in a drama." Xiao Yao looked around anxiously, fortunately no one was looking at him: "In a public place..."

"My brother, let me ask you something," Ouyang Qianqian smiled and leaned forward, "Why are you wearing your school uniform to school again today? Where is that trendy outfit you wore last Friday?"

"Uh……"

"Are you going back after breaking up?" Ouyang Qianqian pretended to be surprised.

"He didn't want to go back, I let him go——" Xiao Yao realized that he had said something wrong: "Break up? Who told you that?"

"Just tell me if you were kicked, right?" Ouyang Qianqian clapped her hands and laughed, "Yesterday at the green area, I was so far away, but I could tell from your expression that you were kicked. I told you a long time ago that you couldn't handle that kind of woman~"

"It's not a breakup, after all, we've never been together." Xiao Yao smiled and said, "It's just another nice guy card. By the way, how did you find a stick this time? Where did you catch it?"

"Ah, let's try some foreign food," Ouyang Qianqian picked up the phone with a smile: "He's an exchange student from an international exchange school. Isn't he handsome?"

"Fuck, they're really Korean," Xiao Yao pretended to vomit, "Oppa, I'm going to vomit."

Ouyang Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed: "I was lying to you, but you really believed it. He is a senior in our school. You must have seen him before, but you just thought about it."

"You are a senior in high school, so be a decent person."

"I just finished the college entrance examination, okay? I'm going to the bathroom." Ouyang Qianqian stood up and walked towards the restaurant entrance.

Xiao Yao listened with some boredom to the faint saxophone melody echoing in the restaurant.

This seems to be... "Going Home"?

Is it to remind guests to eat quickly, finish eating early and go home early?

Xiao Yao's cell phone rang. It was Yu Luying.

"Hey?"

"What delicious food are you eating?" A pleasant female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Crawfish pasta." Can't you taste what I'm eating?

"Which little girl are you with again?"

"It's not a little girl, it's with...Ouyang...Qu Yuqin."

"Xiao Yao said Ouyang is an old girl. I took note and will tell her next time."

"I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey," Yu Luying suddenly called out, "Let's go tomorrow morning. Cashbox."

"In the morning? Didn't we agree to go in the afternoon?"

"After my mother came back from South Korea this time, she has been picking me up and dropping me off at school every day, and she always interrogates me for a long time before I go out. I don't know what's wrong with her." Yu Luying's voice was a little resentful.

"No way, this is too much?"

Could it be that it is to protect against me?

"I've thought about it. St. Francis's After-school School is not open on Saturdays, so the security guard shouldn't stop us, right?" Yu Luying said.

"I never thought that classmate Yu Luying would skip class one day. Hello... Hello? Hello?"

As the phone vibrated, a text message came in: "My mom just came in suddenly."

Then there was another new text message: "Prepare for the performance. See you at the school gate tomorrow morning."

"Who is it?" Ouyang Qianqian returned to her seat without knowing when.

"Yu Luying." Xiao Yao told the truth.

"My dear brother," Ouyang Qianqian sighed exaggeratedly, "Yu Luying is so good to you. If I were her, I would definitely break your bones just for the shitty things you did."

"Yes." Xiao Yao admitted.

"Brother, you are trying to hook up with the school beauty of the Seventh Girls' High School again - although you didn't succeed in the end, you still have a confidante like me who will accompany you whenever you call... Well, it's a day late," Ouyang Qianqian took a sip of orange juice, "Can't you just be content? You are clearly the protagonist template, but you still cry to people every day that you can't find a girlfriend."

"Why do you cry every day..." Xiao Yao sighed: "What a protagonist template, a loser protagonist template is more like it. It's a fact that I can't find a girlfriend. I just came to you to cry today. Being rejected by Shen Jie was the last straw that broke the camel's back, because I thought it was a sure thing..."

"Steady, steady, is it Liang Jingru who gave you the courage? I won't talk about others, but what's the difference between you and Yu Luying and a couple now?" Ouyang Qianqian pointed at Xiao Yao, "In the eyes of the class, it's already recognized that you are a couple. She's shy, has many concerns, and is a male chauvinist. It's just a name, and you still want to get a certificate and frame it?"

"No matter how good friends are, they are still just friends." Xiao Yao put his palms on the back of his head: "It's different."

"What's the difference?"

"Love is love, friendship is friendship, and friends can neither hug nor kiss each other."

"After all this time, you're just thinking about this little thing?" Ouyang Qianqian chuckled.

"That's not it..." Xiao Yao muttered quietly, "But I do want to know what it feels like. Is it wrong to want to know what it feels like to be in love?"

"Yeah...that's right." Ouyang Qianqian put down the knife and fork in her hand, placed them neatly on both sides of the plate, and her eyes drifted out the window.

"Tell me, have I been cursed by God or the devil or something?" Xiao Yao continued to mutter to himself, "A passive skill that guarantees 100% rejection of confessions."

"Brother, you have been stuck in this dilemma for almost a year." Ouyang Qianqian returned her gaze to the dining table and puffed up one cheek: "You are better now. Before, every time you were unhappy, you would ask me to accompany you, and I always responded to your requests."

"Yes, I'm very grateful." Xiao Yao said with emotion: "You always say, brother, find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible, so that I don't have to rely on my sister to accompany you all the time."

"uh-huh."

"But... I really can't find my brother." Xiao Yao said with a wry smile.

"Tsk..." Ouyang Qianqian stretched out two fingers and pressed between his eyes with a headache: "I really don't know how to tell you so that you will understand."

"Take you for example," Xiao Yao said, "Why can I only be your brother forever?"

"What do you mean even if it's me?!" There was a hint of anger on Ouyang Qianqian's pretty face.

"No, what I mean is," Xiao Yao realized that he had said something wrong, "at least, objectively speaking, you are more open-minded than Yu Luying."

"Okay, I'll tell you why." Ouyang Qianqian changed her previous playful smile and sat up straight: "I don't consider you because I am a senior member of the Appearance Association, and you are still 0.01 light years away from my requirements. This is my problem, not yours."

"Thanks, that's really inspiring." Xiao Yao teased.

"The second reason is that I really don't hate you. Although I change boyfriends every day, you are the only one I have, right? Do you also want to have a sweet relationship with me, and then I will get tired of you and dump you, and never contact you again in sadness?"

"……All right."

"Okay, I'm going to annoy you." Ouyang Qianqian said angrily: "If you really want to hug and kiss me so much——"

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao looked at Ouyang Qianqian who suddenly stood up and walked to his side, feeling a little flustered.

"I'll just give you a trial card." Ouyang Qianqian bent down, her long hair hanging down: "Is that good enough? I'll sacrifice my life for justice, just this once."

"Are you serious?" Xiao Yao smelled the lavender scent on her hair and his heart began to beat violently.

"Really." Ouyang Qianqian's expression was serious.

"Are you fishing and then if I do something you get mad and ignore me?"

"If you are sick, why don't you go see a doctor instead of being afraid to see a doctor?" Ouyang Qianqian was a little impatient.

"...Okay, stop it." Xiao Yao swallowed his saliva and moved back a distance of his buttocks: "Isn't this just being a hooligan? This is not good."

"My dear brother," Ouyang Qianqian smiled brightly and returned to her seat. "It's not that I don't give you a chance! Should I laugh at you for being a coward who only loves dragons, or do I like this kind of brother who always has a silly and upright feeling?"

You think too much, Xiao Yao thought. If you don't come earlier, if I kiss you now, Yu Luying will know it immediately.

"Brother, remember this!" Ouyang Qianqian lifted up her cheeks: "Keep yourself clean, style your hair regularly, and prepare a few sets of good clothes to change into. Don't dwell on trivial matters on weekdays. Don't just play online games, but also play basketball. Develop some popular hobbies, listen to pop songs, and don't stay in your little world all day, admiring yourself. And, study harder..."

"No, you have the nerve to criticize me for studying." Xiao Yao complained.

"At least I'm ranked higher than you," Ouyang Qianqian rolled her eyes again, "Besides, it's you who can't find a partner now, not me. If you really want to, why don't you take notes!"

"Remember, remember." Xiao Yao quickly took out a notebook from his schoolbag.

"Complaining and whining won't solve any problems. Our overall idea is to make ourselves popular." Ouyang Qianqian taught, "If you chase this person today and that person tomorrow, and run into obstacles everywhere, your reputation will be bad, and girls will spread the news, and it will end up in a vicious cycle."

Xiao Yao nodded repeatedly while drawing some talismans.

"I don't know your daughter from the No. 7 Girls' High School, so I can't analyze her. Pass." Ouyang Qianqian sighed, "I'll just mention two people I know, Zhou Qi and Yu Luying."

"Zhou Qi..." Xiao Yao was stunned: "Wait a minute, could there be something about Zhou Qi in this?"

"When the school started, Zhou Qi showed a little...interest in you." Ouyang Qianqian made a gesture with her thumb and index finger.

The pen in Xiao Yao's hand fell on the notebook with a "pop".

"pull……"

"My relationship with Zhou Qi is pretty good, okay? She told me so herself." Ouyang Qianqian pouted, "If you don't believe me, forget it. Zhou Qi originally wanted to develop a relationship with you, but soon after school started, you were isolated because you didn't fit in with the rest of the class in every way, so she had no choice but to isolate you as well."

"What kind of logic is this?" Xiao Yao stared at Ouyang Qianqian blankly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Besides, she not only isolates me, but also always takes the lead in causing trouble——"

"Yes, this is the letter of allegiance. Do you know what a letter of allegiance means? It is to let everyone know that she is not on the same side as you." Ouyang Qianqian shrugged and played with the straw in her hand: "Society is like this~~~~ Not everyone is like me who is not afraid of power and understands justice."

Xiao Yao felt a chill in his heart.

"I have also been advising her to be more careful," Ouyang Qianqian continued, "The same goes for Yu Luying. She gets along very well with you, more so than Zhou Qi. For such a long time, I have felt that the reason she resisted you was more or less related to your reputation.
