You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"The reason I think so is because I have too little communication with her. After all, she doesn't like me that much. Now I know that she may not even know what she wants. From the information you provided, this matter should have a lot to do with her family."

"Of course I've noticed that," Xiao Yao said in a low voice, "The problem now is that I don't know what to do. If I stay where I am, she won't take the initiative to get closer."

"Of course." Ouyang Qianqian nodded.

"If I ask her, or want to take it further, and if I mess up again, she might break up with me like she did before," Xiao Yao said.

"That's right." Ouyang Qianqian continued to nod approvingly: "Brother, you have good analytical skills."

"So, what now?" Xiao Yao asked the most important question: "I don't even dare to let her know that there is a problem between Shen Jie and me."

Chapter 43 Nightmare

2022-12-21

That night, Xiao Yao and Ouyang Qianqian chatted a lot and didn't leave until the restaurant closed.

Xiao Yao felt that he had gained a lot, but also felt that he had gained nothing.

At least, the depressed mood of being dumped by Shen Jie was relieved a little.

When I got home, grandma started complaining again.

"I know, I know." Xiao Yao said, "Didn't I tell you I was studying? Just watch the final exam this time."

"I'm going out for a trip soon. Is it really okay for you to be alone at home during the summer vacation?" Grandma followed Xiao Yao into the room.

"Oh, go and have fun, I will definitely take good care of the house." Xiao Yao gently pushed his grandmother's back: "I want to change my pants."

As soon as grandma left, Xiao Yao locked the door and went into the mirror.

Shen Tianyun was not there, and judging from the signs in the room, she had never come back.

This was the first time such a thing happened, and Xiao Yao secretly thought that it was not good.

He slept in his daughter's bed for another night and had strange dreams one after another.

First, I dreamed of Shen Jie - the dream I had had before, in which I went out with Shen Jie, had a car accident, and was run over by a large truck, happened again.

Then he dreamed that he and Shen Tianyun were standing hand in hand on the stairs of a kindergarten (the environment of the kindergarten was the same as the one he had attended). Suddenly, Shen Tianyun's body broke into pieces, escaped from the window, and drifted across the sky.

Xiao Yao searched for her all over the world, going to every corner around the small town where he was born and his grandmother's home now, but still found nothing.

He wanted to shout loudly, but no sound came out.

"Dad, why are you looking for me? I no longer exist." Finally, Shen Tianyun's voice floated from the sky.

Xiao Yao looked up and saw Shen Tianyun's face covering the entire sky. He was quite horrified: "You messed up. Mom doesn't want you anymore, and of course I don't want you anymore."

Shen Tianyun's voice floated between heaven and earth.

"No! No!" Xiao Yao finally shouted and then woke up in shock.

Xiao Yao got out of bed, walked through the mirror and returned to his own bed, but was awakened by Shen Tianyun in his dream again and found himself still in Shen Tianyun's bed.

He returned to his own bed, and woke up in Shen Tianyun's bed again, again and again.

It was not until the alarm clock rang that Xiao Yao finally woke up from his dream. It turned out that he had been in his daughter's bed the whole time.

It was already dawn, and his sweat had half wet Shen Tianyun's pillow.

Xiao Yao returned to his own time, dressed quietly and went out, ate a bowl of noodles with scallion oil for two yuan, and a small wonton for one yuan, and rode his bike to school.

Standing at the school gate, he called Shen Jie twice, but no one answered.

I don’t know how many times I wandered back and forth at the school gate, but people started to arrive one after another.

"Hey, love saint, why are you here too?" Hairtail suddenly called him, waking him up from his deep thoughts: "Didn't you sign up?"

"Ah, haha, waiting for someone, waiting for someone." Xiao Yao was stunned: "Good morning, Brother Dai."

"We are all family, just call me Daiyu." Daiyu smiled, patted Xiao Yao on the chest, and went in.

Yu Luying came sitting on her mother's small motorcycle. She was not wearing her school uniform today. She wore a waisted white shirt on her upper body and a brown schoolbag slung across her shoulder. She wore a pair of tight water blue jeans on her lower body. The high-waist design showed off her long legs.

She tied her hair, which was usually loose, into a high ponytail, and wore the same snow-white sneakers and plain white cotton socks on her feet.

He looks more energetic than usual.

Yu Luying saw Xiao Yao and glared at him.

Xiao Yao then remembered that she shouldn't let her mother see it.

He was just about to turn around and pretend to enter the school gate when Yu Lihua seemed to have seen him and even nodded slightly at him from a distance.

? !

Before Xiao Yao could react, Yu Lihua had already stopped the car. She let her daughter out of the car, gave her a few instructions, turned the car around, and drove away.

"Good morning." Xiao Yao greeted awkwardly.

Yu Luying ignored him and just looked around to see if there was anyone she knew. Then she put on her schoolbag and walked back without looking back.

Just as Xiao Yao was about to follow, a voice came from the school gate: "Yu Luying."

"Ah, Teacher Yao." The girl stopped, turned around and exclaimed in surprise.

"Class is about to start, where are you going?" Teacher Yao has become much quieter and more haggard recently.

"I, I..." Yu Luying was not good at telling lies and her face turned red.

"Teacher Yao," Xiao Yao called, "I asked Yu Luying to go to the museum with me, but her mother wouldn't let her go with me... She was watched very closely, so we..."

Teacher Yao understood immediately.

"It's not peaceful outside recently, so don't run around if you have nothing to do..." He hesitated for a while before speaking again: "Xiao Yao, you must take good care of her and don't go to crowded and messy places."

"Of course, of course. Thank you, Teacher Yao!"

"Thank you, Teacher Yao." Yu Luying also spoke timidly: "Please...don't tell my mother."

"I didn't see you today." Teacher Yao waved her hand and went back into the school gate.

"What Teacher Yao said was not peaceful, he must be referring to Zhou Qi's matter. But he still let us go. He is such a good man." On the way to the subway station, Xiao Yao couldn't help but sigh to Yu Luying again.

"Yeah." Yu Luying nodded.

Xiao Yao called Shen Jie again, but this time the call was hung up, and after waiting for five minutes there was no text message.

"What's wrong? You look uneasy." Yu Luying glanced at him.

"No, nothing." Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head: "I was just thinking, you are so beautiful today."

The two walked side by side into the "Helen Road" subway station on Line 4.

"Tell me, what would happen to your mother if you suddenly didn't go home for two days?" Xiao Yao asked her.

"I will mobilize all resources and search day and night." Yu Luying said without hesitation.

"She will be so anxious, right? She won't be in the mood to do anything unless she finds you."

"I will also prepare a strong rope..." said Yu Luying.

"Hello, please let me pass." The security officer stretched out an arm and then immediately put it down.

Yu Luying seemed not to hear anything and walked inside.

The security officer did not stop her, but weakly said to the next passenger with a bag, "Hello, please let me pass your bag."

Xiao Yao took a few quick steps to catch up and took out his bus card.

The subway security checks in Shanghai have always been designed to guard against gentlemen rather than villains, but Yu Luying always passes through them obediently. What happened today?

"So," Yu Luying said as she got off the escalator, "After so many days, I can't imagine how Zhou Qi's parents feel."

According to the editor's suggestion, I will try to update twice today... There will be another update at 3 pm, please read it effectively. (I will see if the reading effect will improve... and then adjust the update mode)

Chapter 44 Chance Encounter

2023-07-31

"really."

"We really shouldn't have dragged it out for so many days." Yu Luying complained.

"Are you close to Zhou Qi?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask.

"No, just an ordinary classmate," Yu Luying replied, "But no matter what, he is still a classmate, someone around us, we can't just leave him alone like this."

"At first, I thought you would suggest calling the police." Xiao Yao replied, looking at the direction where the train was coming from.

"What do you say when you call the police? Uncle, I found my missing classmate in the mirror of the KTV?"

The subway arrived. Maybe because it was not a working day, there were not many people, and Xiao Yao successfully grabbed two seats.

"By the way, you are really kind," Xiao Yao said according to what Ouyang Qianqian taught him, "This reminds me that I fell in love with you in the beginning because of your kindness."

"Yeah, I know," Yu Luying subconsciously brushed the hair beside her ear, "Actually, I'm not that kind."

This is indeed a good way to test, Xiao Yao thought. Before, every time he said "I like you", Yu Luying would tremble all over and look disgusted. Now, when he focused on "you are very kind", she accepted it calmly.

Let Yu Luying not shy away from talking about the relationship between the two of them, and gradually bypass her "Anti-Slut Defense"...

Yu Luying suddenly glanced at him.

Xiao Yao's heart tightened. Could it be that she heard his inner thoughts again? He immediately stopped thinking about it!

Fortunately, Yu Luying didn't seem to receive the signal this time, and continued to pay attention to Zhou Qi's affairs: "Actually, I know that you have never wanted to care about Zhou Qi's affairs. After all, she hurt you."

"Not really," Xiao Yao said frankly, "I'm not very positive about this matter. After all, she's not my good friend. But, even though she and I don't get along, if something really happens to her... that's not what I'm looking forward to."

"Well, I believe you," Yu Luying pursed her lips, "I remember that you like knights, right? Helping the weak and fighting against the strong, and going on adventures, you should be very interested... And, from what I can see now, the person who took my things must have obtained information from Zhou Qi and launched a series of conspiracies. No matter what his real purpose is, we can't just sit back and watch."

"Yes," Xiao Yao didn't understand the logical relationship here, but just nodded: "But compared to those things, I care more about your safety and my own safety. Because I am not alone now... The two of us are already..."

Xiao Yao wanted to say "we are one", but was afraid of being offended by the other party. When he was considering the right words, the girl took over the conversation: "Yes, I know."

Then she added, “Thank you.”

Atmosphere, this is what Ouyang said, create a good atmosphere first. Xiao Yao thought.

Yu Luying tapped the schoolbag with her fingertips and put her mouth close to his ear. The breath she exhaled made Xiao Yao feel itchy: "I have made full preparations for today."

Xiao Yao was shocked - you refuse to go through security check, is there something in your schoolbag... ?

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Luying suddenly stood up.

?

"Ah, thank you, thank you." The old man nodded repeatedly and sat down in Yu Luying's seat.

"Uh..." Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed. He had not paid any attention to the surrounding environment.

Yu Luying is always like this.

"Come, sit in my seat." Xiao Yao stood up.

"No, you sit down."

"Sit down." Xiao Yao pushed the girl down with an unquestionable firm attitude.

He pulled the ring with his hand, and when he lowered his head he could see the two little deer on the girl's chest.

Although it is not big in size, it is full and round in shape. It is wrapped in a white shirt and rises and falls slightly with her breathing, which is quite cute.

Yu Luying raised her face and kicked him on the calf with the tip of her foot, causing Xiao Yao to grimace in pain.

After changing stations and exiting the subway, the two walked to Qiangui. Qiangui in the morning was much quieter than in the evening, with almost no one and only a few cars. Therefore, a person who was looking out of the box would be particularly conspicuous.

The man wore a baseball cap worn backwards, a pair of sunglasses, a Hawaiian shirt, and a T-shirt underneath. He looked like a gangster, but unfortunately he was still ruthlessly betrayed by his chubby baby face and short stature.

"Xiong...Xiong Ji?" Xiao Yao hesitated to identify the person who came.

"Xiao Yao? ...Yu Luying?" Xiao Xiong also looked surprised.

"Oh, oh...! Oh!" Then, Little Bear shouted, "Are you guys progressing so fast? It's really a good idea to come to KTV during the day."

"Don't make blind guesses!" Yu Luying took two steps forward: "We are not on a date...on a date...

"Oh." Xiao Xiong turned around and looked at Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao and I are just friends, I won't tell anyone."

"No!" Yu Luying blushed: "I really didn't come here with Xiao Yao... to a place like this, to play..."

Xiao Yao was unhappy: Are you still so afraid of others seeing you and me together? Is it really necessary?
