You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Xiao Yao: “?”

"Have you washed your clothes recently? Bring them up and I'll wash them for you." Yu Luying said.

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yao said happily.

"I knew you didn't wash." Yu Luying said lightly.

"There's still one person who hasn't washed yet, do you want to join us—"

"Go away," Yu Luying said, "You should know your place in life."

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded.

At noon that day, the supreme Lord Yu Bo once again gloriously arrived at his loyal summer camp, which made Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and others feel a little relieved and boosted their sense of security.

Since the three people started to limp on the same day, although not many people noticed it, some people still felt strange.

Yu Bo asked about Xiao Yao's leg injury with concern like a spring breeze. After learning that he fell off his bike while listening to ghost stories, he immediately laughed at him like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

"How can someone who fights shadows every day be afraid of ghosts?"

"I'll say it again, it was your precious niece who sprained her ankle in the hotel." Xiao Yao accused calmly.

"Niece."

"?"

"Don't call me after 10pm - no, 9pm." Yu Bo said, "Be careful or I'll block you."

"What's your old man's routine?"

"Guess what's the secret to the longevity of clergy?" Yu Bo said mysteriously.

"I know that, smoking, drinking, and perming your hair, just like you." Xiao Yao retorted: "Besides, don't I have something urgent and serious to do?"

"What's the urgent matter?" Yu Bo said disapprovingly, "What's the big deal?"

"Liang, Liang Yanan, did you tell her all our secrets?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Bo.

"This is none of your business," Yu Bo said confidently, "I know what's going on."

"And the one in the mirror—" Xiao Yao reminded him.

"I know." Yu Bo repeated these four words, looked at Xiao Yao, and added five words: "We will check it out."

Xiao Yao did not ask him who "we" were. He just gently rubbed his injured knee, thinking that after such a long period of symbiosis, this was the first time he realized this potential risk, or danger.

Your own life, health and safety are always in the hands of another person. Even if the other person has no ill intentions, the insecurity brought about by this invisible uncertainty and randomness... well, it's a bit subtle and hard to explain?

The history class that afternoon advanced to the period of the Reformation in the 16th century. Xiao Yao asked Li Teng many questions about Queen Mary I of England, and then discussed what positive impact the "Gunpowder Plot" would have on the course of history if it had succeeded, which sparked a small wave of discussion in the classroom.

Following yesterday’s “Movie Night”, tonight is the so-called “Catechism Night”, specifically, a quiz contest on Bible and catechism knowledge.

Xiao Yao has always loved this kind of activity - for example, he liked watching "Zhengda Variety Show" since he was a child, and later Wang Xiaojiao's "Happy Dictionary".

This was his first time to participate in such an event in person, so he was very active. He used his enthusiasm, thick skin, super fast hand raising speed, limited knowledge and ability to guess, and successfully squeezed into the top 10.

The prize was a small, grape-sprout-imported statue of Our Lady of Fatima.

"You guys, this, is not possible." Xiao Yao held his prize and said to Yu Luying happily, "There are more than 300 people, all children of old church members, and they can't beat me, a complete newcomer."

"Why don't you say my uncle taught well? Hmm... I thought you were daydreaming and sleeping during your uncle's catechism class. It seems I misunderstood you." Yu Luying tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "In fact, some people are probably more shy and don't bother to participate in such competitions."

"For example, you?" Xiao Yao said.

"But it is undeniable that the overall level of today's young people is not good enough," Yu Luying said with a smile, "If Xiaoyang were here, he would definitely complain about the future of the church, the family education of old church members, and so on, and criticize them all."

"Well, it's like this. For example, my roommate Gao Sijun, I was reciting the Marian Prayer every night, but he was not interested in anything except playing video games," said Xiao Yao.

"'Little Prayers of the Virgin Mary'? Are you so active now?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

Xiao Yao didn't want to explain to Yu Luying that he was actually reading most of it for Gao Sijun to see, so he responded vaguely: "It's normal. Converts are fanatical."

"How can I not see that? Don't I know you?" Yu Luying was not so easily fooled: "By the way, did you notice? Shen..." Yu Luying looked around and lowered her voice: "Shen Jie really appreciates your performance."

"What?" Xiao Yao said.

"Didn't you notice? When you were showing off in the knowledge contest, Shen Jie kept looking back at you with a light in her eyes."

"Is this true? Why didn't I notice it?" Xiao Yao said anxiously.

“And this morning, during the youth mass, weren’t you playing guitar?” Yu Luying said, “She looked at you the same way when she was down there.”

"It seems that men still need to use their talents and real skills to attract girls," Xiao Yao said thoughtfully, "Today, the people from the youth mass group praised me for my quick learning and my ability to improvise. You said it was just average, but not bad."

"Well, it's pretty good." Yu Luying said.

But Xiao Yao clearly heard what she was thinking: Given your level of musical instrument playing, saying "average" is already very polite.

Damn it, is this the arrogance of a girl who has been learning cello since elementary school? Xiao Yao thought.

"You said that even Shen Jie was attracted by my talent, so why are you still indifferent?" Xiao Yao approached with a playful smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and secretly cursed himself for having low EQ again - what do you mean "even" Shen Jie, why are you still not, isn't the implication of this sentence saying, "you" are not as good as Shen Jie?

"No, what I meant was..." Xiao Yao quickly tried to make amends.

Yu Luying glanced at Xiao Yao coldly and said faintly, "There's nothing I can do. Maybe this is just not suitable. After all, a forced melon is not sweet."

Xiao Yao quickly approached again with a playful smile, grabbed Yu Luying and rubbed her.

"Don't do it, there are people here," Yu Luying broke free from Xiao Yao's embrace: "It's getting late, let's go home."

"By the way, you mentioned the lamb again." Xiao Yao said.

"It was mentioned," Yu Luying was confused: "What happened to the lamb?"

"You and your sister..." Xiao Yao considered his words carefully: "Are you not too close... Ahem, ahem, how is your relationship?"

"Why are you asking this?" Yu Luying asked curiously, "As for the relationship... well, it's okay now, right? It's just okay."

"Well," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Nothing, I just asked casually. I want to know more about you. As long as it's about you, I want to know."

"Yeah." Yu Luying nodded slightly.

Although he said "hmm", there was no further follow-up after that, and it was obvious that he had no interest in continuing to talk about family matters.

"Little Sheep, Big Sheep," Xiao Yao muttered the two names: "Hey, why did you two choose these nicknames?"

"Is this the question asked by the tenth-place contestant in the catechism contest?" Yu Luying replied in surprise, "Because in the Bible, sheep are the symbol of Christians. Iesu calls believers a flock of sheep and calls himself a shepherd..."

"Fuck, of course I know this, what I mean is..." Xiao Yao said.

"Don't keep giving me fucks." Yu Luying said, "Who did you learn this from?"

"?" Xiao Yao said: "In short..."

"Anyway..." said Yu Luying.

"Anyway, what I mean," Xiao Yao explained, "is that your family calls you Big Sheep and your sister Little Sheep, which means that your grandfather and his family still recognize you and your status in the family..."

"Why are you talking about this again?" Yu Luying's face drooped: "What do you want to say?"

"I...I just wanted to say--"

"You, you, you, you know something and you want to tell me?" Yu Luying interrupted him impatiently: "Do you know how the adults looked at me and my mother when I went back to their house during the Spring Festival when I was a child? Do you know that they didn't even let me... that man go? Do you know what Yu Xiaoyang said to me and how he bullied me when I was a child?"

The girl's eyes were a little red.

"But you and your sister reconciled when you grew up, didn't you?" Xiao Yao said, "Why can't you..."

"What I just said was average, which means the same as when I said you play the piano averagely." Yu Luying looked into Xiao Yao's eyes and said word by word.

"OK, OK, good, no problem." Xiao Yao raised his hands and said, "Then let's look at this problem from a different angle, okay? The economic base determines the superstructure, don't you know?"

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying said.

"Haven't you always wanted to fight for equal status with Shen Jie?" Xiao Yao looked around cautiously and lowered his voice to a level that even Yu Luying could hardly hear: "She always thinks that she is the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Only when you become the eldest daughter of the Yu family will she truly put you on the same level and look at you as an equal..."

In fact, Xiao Yao himself was not sure whether what he said made sense. He just wanted to find a reason to persuade Yu Luying to accept it. However, Yu Luying became more and more unhappy: "I am sleepy. I am going upstairs to sleep."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Don't be angry." Xiao Yao grabbed Yu Luying's wrist.

"Are you taking yourself too seriously?" Yu Luying blurted out, "You really think you are the sun, and all of us humble beings have to revolve around you in order to fight for the position of the first wife?"

Having said this, he strode away.

Xiao Yao wanted to chase after him, but then he thought better of it.

As expected, the matter of persuading Yu Luying should be left to Brother Bo. Why should I bother saying anything more?

Gao Sijun returned to 1503 with a somewhat depressed mood. Unexpectedly, he was not playing GBA, but typing on a notebook on the bed.

My phone vibrated. It was a text message from Yu Luying: "Do you still want me to wash your clothes? Bring them up now and I'll wash them for you."

Xiao Yao felt much more relieved all of a sudden.

"No, I'll wash it myself," he replied.

"Are you still angry?" After a while, the other party sent this message.

"I'm not in a good mood today. I said too much." Before Xiao Yao could reply, Yu Luying sent another message.

"I've said it's over, don't think too much. Remember, I love you, and everything I do is for your own good." Xiao Yao replied.

"Yeah." The other party sent a word.

"Thank you." Then, two more words.

As Xiao Yao put his dirty clothes into a plastic basin, he said to Gao Sijun, "Lao Gao, do you know what love is?"

"You ask me? How the hell should I know?" Gao Sijun continued to focus on his computer screen: "I've never been in a relationship, right?"

"I think love is like this," Xiao Yao told Gao Sijun: "She is willing to give you a way out, and you are willing to take it down."

"Oh, I see." Gao Sijun replied humbly.

There is new news, two pieces, this time from Shen Jie.

"Gouzi, you performed very well today."

"I quite like your prize, the little statue of the Virgin Mary. Can you give it to me?"

"Okay, of course." Xiao Yao replied.

Thursday, August 8th, the third-to-last day of summer camp.

Xiao Yao played the guitar at the morning mass as usual. After the mass, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sat together to eat breakfast as usual. They were very friendly and never mentioned the little dispute last night.

Hairtail’s “playmate” Yan Xiao came. He only listened to half of the chicken soup class “Rowing to the Deep” in the morning and then slipped out through the back door with Yan Xiao, probably to go to the sea to practice “Rowing to the Deep” himself.

I didn't see him in the history class in the afternoon.

Following "Movie Night" and "Catechise Night", tonight is "Game Night".

Of course, we don’t get together to play computer games, but rather a variety of group game activities.

Xiao Yao also likes it very much, because these are usually only seen in variety shows. To experience them in real life, there is usually no such organization.

After the fun of the name tag tearing game, the game entered a segment called "blind chat".

All campers and logistics staff wore black blindfolds and gathered in the classroom. They stood in groups and then four leaders randomly selected people from them, with about 16 people in each room. After selection, everyone put their arms around each other's shoulders one by one and were led by instructors and leaders into the activity room prepared in advance.

The whole process was quiet, with only soft reminders: be careful, there are steps, turn, don't be afraid... and no other noise.

After entering the activity room, NPC arranged the campers to sit down in pairs, holding hands, and tried to arrange one man and one woman.

……

In the silence, Xiao Yao suddenly took off his blindfold, walked quickly towards a guide, and whispered something in his ear.

"Ah?" The leader said with difficulty, "But then the meaning of the activity is lost, right?"

Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "No... If that's the case, we can just quit this game."

Several leaders and mentors discussed it together and agreed to let Xiao Yao and Yu Luying form a team.

Xiao Yao walked towards Yu Luying, put on the blindfold again, and was about to sit down when he suddenly thought of something incredible.

The young man frowned and stopped walking.
