You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Although Xiao Yao slowly became drunk, he still had a clear mind. However, at this moment, he chose to relax, chose to put all his worries behind him, follow the carnival atmosphere of the bar, and immerse himself in this blurry night.

……

…………

………………

The ringing of a cell phone woke him up from his sleep. Xiao Yao suddenly raised his head from the bar and found that there were not many people left in the bar.

It seemed like there wasn’t even a single familiar face in sight.

The call was from his grandmother. The old woman was cursing at the other end of the phone and asked him what time it was.

Oh yeah, what time is it?

"If you don't have an umbrella, I can lend you one." The bar owner said as he skillfully wiped the bar.

"Oh, sorry." Xiao Yao said with a big tongue: "Are you guys going to close?"

"I'm not in a hurry to close the shop," the bar owner began to pack up the bottles and cans, "I'm just worried that your family members will get anxious waiting - you look like you guys, you're still middle school students, right?"

"Ah." Xiao Yao responded and subconsciously looked outside the bar.

Outside the bar, the night sky was covered with heavy rain, and the raindrops poured down like a silver bead curtain.

The rain hit the street, splashing tiny water droplets and forming a blurry picture.

The road was slightly slippery due to the rain. The light of the street lamps emitted a faint and hazy halo in the rain. The tires of the occasional passing vehicles splashed water, and the headlights flickered in the rain, reflecting the pouring raindrops.

The wind was howling, and the rain was chilly, making people feel a chill. The visibility at night was affected by the rain and became very poor, the outlines of buildings and streets were blurred, and the heavy rain enveloped the entire night in a silent and wet atmosphere, as if it was a violent performance by nature.

"Unlucky weather," said the bar owner, wiping his glasses, "otherwise these guys would have gone out to the streets to party."

"That's right." Xiao Yao said.

At this time, Shen Jie also raised her head from the bar with drunken eyes.

Her hair was a little messy, her big eyes were blurry and out of focus, her pupils were slightly dilated, like crystals in the mist.

There were crystal drops of water on the girl's eyelashes, sparkling with a faint light.

Her cheeks flushed, and she didn't know if it was simply because of the alcohol, or...

"Gouzi, what time is it?" Shen Jie asked Xiao Yao.

The bar owner pointed to the clock on the wall.

"Fuck, it's so late," Shen Jie said, breathing heavily with alcohol. "Is your grandma going to die of anxiety?"

"It's okay, I've already called her." Xiao Yao said.

Meaning that she called me.

"The slanting rain fell on the glass window,

The yellow leaves are withered on the windowsill;

The young man carrying an umbrella,

He passed through the rain curtain and cast a glance at me..."

The bar started playing this folk song again.

"You like Ai Da Jin too?" Xiao Yao asked the bar owner.

"Gouzi? Where did you go during the intermission?" Shen Jie asked incoherently, "And you came back soaked in the rain?"

"Everyone who passed by looked at him,

But he played a harmonica;

Goodbye, the melody is still singing faintly..."

"Nothing," Xiao Yao replied vaguely, "I just feel chest tightness. I'm going out to get some fresh air and take a walk."

He didn't want Shen Jie to know what had just happened. Firstly, he couldn't be 100% sure that it was Zhang Zhengkai. Secondly, he didn't want to make Shen Jie worry.

Mama Meow is already in a bad enough mood, why give her one more thing to worry about?

"Boss, tell me the truth." Shen Jie began to question the bar owner again.

The boss looked at Xiao Yao, then at Shen Jie, with a hesitant look on his face.

Shen Jie turned around and began to interrogate Xiao Yao again, but Xiao Yao gritted his teeth and refused to say anything, which made Shen Jie lose her temper and start slapping him with her hands.

correct.

Xiao Yao then realized that it was not advisable to drink alcohol during menstruation.

I completely forgot about this. Why would Yu Luying agree to let me drink it?

"Is it him?" Shen Jie asked suddenly, "He followed you secretly and you saw him, so you chased him out, is it true or not?"

Xiao Yao was shocked by Shen Jie's cleverness and wit. He didn't say anything, but the expression on the boy's face betrayed the answer to the girl.

"I knew it!" Shen Jie said angrily, "Why would you hide this from me?"

"I... I'm just afraid that you'll worry." Xiao Yao hesitated and told the truth: "Besides, I didn't catch up with him, so I'm not sure that it must be him."

"His arms and legs are as small as those of a junior high school student, and he's not good at exercise. How can you not catch up with him?" Shen Jie complained.

"I..." Xiao Yao said.

"I should have known earlier that this was something he could do," Shen Jie said bitterly, "Isn't it enough that he has harmed me like this? He still won't let me go? I really want to skin him alive."

"Uh, don't be like this." Xiao Yao consoled him, "He just...can't let you go."

Shen Jie's eyebrows suddenly raised: "Xiao Yao, which side are you on? Are you my man?"

"No," Xiao Yao said, "Ah no, I'm not saying no, I mean..."

"Forgive the poetry and sentiments of my youth,

Forgive my incoherent exhortation;

Forgive the poetry and style of my youth,

Forgive my incoherent exhortation…” Jing Feng’s singing voice still echoed in the bar.

At this moment, Xiao Yao's cell phone rang again.

"Hey, grandma, we'll be back soon," Xiao Yao said, "It's raining too hard, we're waiting for it to stop raining!"

"I'm not grandma, I'm dad." Yu Bo's voice said, "Why aren't you home so late? Where are you?"

"Fuck, Brother Bo," Xiao Yao screamed, "Didn't you tell me that I'm not allowed to call you after 10pm?"

"If you can't hit me, I can hit you." Yu Bo said domineeringly.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "What's the matter?"

"The Chinese national football team shouldn't have won this game, right?" Yu Bo went straight to the point: "I remember you talked to me about this once."

"Did I? Did I?" Xiao Yao said, "I don't remember."

"Answer me." Yu Bo said.

"Uh, what? Originally...originally...originally it was indeed...uh..." Xiao Yao lowered his voice and said, "The reverse score - did I really talk to you about it?"

“Have you watched TV?” Yu Bo said, “Sayed Kamil is dead.”

"What's the meaning of Sai De? What's the meaning of Ka Mi?" Xiao Yao said.

"Sayed Kamil, the referee of this game, just died," Yu Bo said.

Chapter 340: Our summer is coming fast

2023-10-01

Time flies, time flies like an arrow.

After the Asian Cup came to an end, the rest of the summer vacation flew by.

I don’t know if it was because of anger, but Shen Jie fell ill when she returned home that day.

It wasn't a serious illness, just a low-grade fever that kept coming back after it went away.

Xiao Yao felt guilty because he knew the reason why Shen Jie was working so hard to make money. He also knew that he didn't have the ability to give Shen Jie a sense of security, and he couldn't let her do anything.

The only thing he could do was to stop Shen Jie from seeking medical help from all sources and minimize the losses.

Grandma wanted to go down to take care of Shen Jie, but was stopped by Xiao Yao.

During those days, watching Xiao Yao busying himself taking care of the patients, even his grandmother couldn't help but sigh repeatedly that her eldest grandson had finally grown up.

When Shen Jie's illness got better, Xiao Yao began to suffer from dysmenorrhea again, so she took over taking care of him, and they actually felt like they were supporting each other.

"I'm having my period too," Shen Jie held Xiao Yao's neck and said, "Brother, when will this symbiotic problem of yours be cured? Now it looks like two girls are in love."

"No, you are a boy," Xiao Yao said, "I am a girl."

"Disgusting."

"The reduplication of words is disgusting."

The death of Sayyid Kamil and his sentencing have sparked a wide range of discussions.

Anyone familiar with the rules of football knows that football encourages offense. For a "hand of God" like Koji Nakata, it is understandable that a penalty kick is awarded to the defending side, but for the attacking side, a yellow card is usually given, or a red card in a more serious case. The penalty kick is really shocking.

For this reason, the head coach of the Japanese team refused to go on stage to receive the runner-up trophy after the game in protest.

The news that the referee Sayyid Kamil, who made this penalty, suddenly died of a heart attack after the game also caused public discussion and even gave rise to many conspiracy theories.

Some Chinese fans voluntarily mourned this old friend of the Chinese people, and the voices questioning whether the penalty was fair quickly disappeared in the wave of nationalism.

After all, whoever dares to say that there is something wrong with the ball will be labeled as a "traitor" or a "traitor".

One thing Xiao Yao knew was that Sayid Kamil could have lived a long time.

Another thing Xiao Yao knew was that the Mingye Watchmen had launched an investigation into the matter.

One thing Xiao Yao also knew was that Yu Bo strictly forbade him to buy any form of lottery tickets in the future.

In order to avoid having his hands indirectly stained with the blood of passers-by, Xiao Yao was willing to accept the penalty.

As for Yu Luying, her attitude towards Xiao Yao suddenly turned cold since she returned to Shanghai. Xiao Yao seemed to have gotten used to her behavior, and since he was busy taking care of the sick Shen Jie, he didn't have the energy to coax her anymore.

The two of them just stared at each other like this for two or three days.

For a few hours, Xiao Yao felt that it was enough for him to be with Shen Jie forever.

Karlstedt agreed to let him "visit" Zhao Xiaomei, but he didn't say when exactly, only "when the time is right." Xiao Yao already had too many things to do, so he didn't put too much energy into following up on this matter.

Three days later, Yu Luying finally took the initiative to call Xiao Yao.

When Xiao Yao saw the call from Yu Luying, he was still happy in his heart.

At that time, Shen Jie was sitting beside his bed, feeding him spoonful of brown sugar water as if she was feeding a little kid.

Xiao Yao picked up the phone: "Hello."

"Hello." Yu Luying said.

Then, the two of them were silent for two or three seconds, and no one spoke.

"Come on, open your mouth," Shen Jie handed over another spoonful of brown sugar water: "Ah——"

Xiao Yao was embarrassed to say "Ah——" in front of Yu Luying, stretched his neck forward, and took the spoon into his mouth.

"Yours is quite serious." Xiao Yao said after swallowing the sugar water.

"Are you sure you want to say this in front of your sister?" Yu Luying scolded.

"Uh……"

"I've taken painkillers - I'm responsible for getting you into trouble," Yu Luying said in a slow tone, "You've worked hard."

"?" Xiao Yao said: "Strange or not?"

"No, I'm serious." Yu Luying explained.

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "It's okay. We share the good times and the bad times."

After saying this, she was worried that Shen Jie would be jealous, so she looked at her worriedly, but Shen Jie looked completely unconcerned.

"Do you have time to come out now?" Yu Luying expressed her intention.
