You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Xiao Yao finally made up his mind.

When the ferry docked in Jiangxi next time, Xiao Yao got off the boat, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked to the place where the "White Crow" appeared yesterday.

"I thought you didn't dare to come."

He did not see the white crow, but only saw the Earl of Nottingham, whose behavior was strange and exaggerated, leaning lazily against a telephone pole.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Xiao Yao said politely.

"I have indeed kept you waiting for a long time," Lord Nottington told him, "After we get out of here, you have to treat me to six dollars of spicy hot pot."

"...get out...from here?" Xiao Yao asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Also, can you tell me who you are?"

"I was once in a similar situation," Earl Nottington told Xiao Yao, "someone pulled me out of it, and today I'm here to repay the favor."

Xiao Yao was confused and urged Earl Nottingham to explain more clearly, but the other party remained silent.

They took a bus, a ferry, and a subway - luckily they were in Shanghai, and no one commented or paid much attention to Count Nottington's strange clothes. After getting off the bus, Count Nottington took Xiao Yao to the front of a middle school.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through layers of clouds and mist onto this quaint and majestic building.

School buildings with red walls and black tiles are arranged in an orderly manner on the campus, with lush trees and colorful flowers.

Xiao Yao's gaze passed through an iron gate. The building opposite the school gate looked to be quite old.

The boy stood in front of the ancient school gate, carefully looking at the scene in front of him. This is a 5-meter-high red wooden door, exuding a sense of vicissitudes of time. The nine golden characters "Modu No. Girls' Middle School" were engraved on the door frame, with dignified and majestic handwriting. On each side of the door, there is a lifelike unicorn sculpture, with its fangs and claws bared, as if guarding this school.

Xiao Yao remembered that he had never been to this school before, but it looked familiar and familiar...

I guess I passed by there accidentally one day, but I don’t remember it.

"Why did you bring me here? Notting..." Xiao Yao turned his head and asked.

……

"Damn, where are the people?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

Is this guy trying to make fun of me?

Girls' High School...

Lord Nottingham should have brought me here to find a certain student?

Although the intention is unclear...

But, at this time and date, school should have been over long ago, right?

And this damn Riddler...he just took the person to the place and left, but couldn't at least show me the photo?

Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?

Xiao Yao was in a mess in the wind for half an hour. In other words, he walked back and forth at the entrance of No. 7 Girls' High School for half an hour like an idiot. Of course, this aroused the vigilance of the old man in the guard room.

Just when the security guard was about to come out and kill, a short girl walked out from the school gate.

The girl had long ponytails and a pair of unusually large eyes, as if she had walked out of an anime, and as clear as crystals immersed in water, but the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, making her look a little charming. The pure pupils and the charming eye shape were wonderfully blended into a very beautiful style, and her thin lips were as pale as water.

She was wearing what looked like a girls' school uniform: a red and blue plaid pleated skirt that just reached her knees, a solid-colored shirt and a bow tie of the same color as the skirt, and dark-colored mid-calf cotton socks and black leather shoes. But there was none of the incongruity that is common when wearing a school uniform: the shirt material was white, soft, and not transparent at all, the collar and cuffs were fitted to the body perfectly, and the clever design of the waistband on the skirt made up for the shortcoming of her height very well.

Like Ouyang Qianqian in the class, she did not carry a backpack, but only held a square handbag in her hand. She wore a small beret on the back of her head, which made Xiao Yao wonder how the beret did not fall off.

Just like this school, this girl looks familiar - like déjà vu.

A snow-white crow croaked as it flew low over the sky, and scratched the top of Xiao Yao's head with its claws.

"I know, I know." Xiao Yao said.

But, when it comes to chatting up strange girls... I lack practical experience.

Although she is not tall, this little girl is very fast on her feet - just when Xiao Yao was hesitating about how to start his speech, the little girl had already walked several hundred meters away.

Xiao Yao subconsciously and hurriedly took a few steps to chase after her. The girl stopped and looked at him in surprise.

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the old doorman walking towards him with an iron crutch.

He quickly squatted down, untied his shoelaces, and then began to tie them.

The old concierge stopped far away and continued to stare at him vigilantly, while the petite beauty also started to move.

What on earth am I doing...

Something lifted the lid of the schoolbag, jumped out, landed lightly on the ground, and ran away.

When did this elusive dead cat get into my schoolbag? When I was packing my schoolbag this morning, I clearly didn't see any -

Xiao Yao stood up and was about to chase his cat, but the big civet cat trotted straight to Shen Jie's heels and rubbed the girl's ankles wrapped in black cotton socks with its cat head without any courtesy or shyness.

The girl was startled and subconsciously raised her leg to avoid it, and took two steps back. After seeing the big cat clearly, her frown immediately relaxed, the corners of her mouth turned up, and her eyes curved into crescents.

The girl squatted down, stretched out one hand to hook the cat's chin, and rummaged in her small schoolbag with the other hand, trying to find some snacks that the cat liked.

The big cat also performed extremely hard, narrowing its eyes into slits and using its whiskers to prick Shen Jie's hands. Later, it simply lay down, exposing its white belly, and let the girl stroke it, just one person short to perform a backflip for her.

Xiao Yao walked to the side of the girl and the cat, stopped, and looked at her - him - it? with a smile.

Which one should I use?

"Your cat?" the girl asked him.

"Yeah." The boy nodded: "I came out for a walk."

The girl stood up, covering her mouth with her hands and laughing so hard that her body shook. "Nonsense, who walks a cat? What's its name?"

"It's called 'dog'." Xiao Yao answered the girl seriously.

"You are a liar. You are so funny." The girl laughed even harder and couldn't straighten her back.

Is it really that funny? Her smile is so unladylike, Xiao Yao thought to himself.

"Dog." The boy called out, and the cat immediately stopped rolling on the asphalt road, pounced over, and scratched Xiao Yao's trouser pockets with its claws. The whole person - the whole cat - hung on Xiao Yao's legs.

Xiao Yao lifted it up.

"So it's really called a dog," the girl exclaimed, "You're really a weirdo."

"To be honest," Xiao Yao held the cat in his arms and stroked its skin, "You look familiar to me. Have we met somewhere before?"

"Is it old-fashioned?" The girl laughed at him and said, "You probably see all the pretty girls who look familiar."

"Ahaha, no." Xiao Yao scratched his back skin: "I really mean it..."

"Hey," the girl put her hands behind her back, stood on the ground with her left foot, and tapped the ground with the tip of her right leather shoe: "Can you hug me again?"

"What?" Xiao Yao was stunned: "Oh, a cat?"

The girl was stunned, then burst out laughing again.

"Oh, yes, of course it's a cat." Xiao Yao handed the cat over with both hands: "Hold it as you like."

"I really envy you." The girl took the "dog" over.

"What do you envy me for?" Xiao Yao and the girl walked a few steps side by side.

"My parents won't let me have a cat. They're so annoying." The girl's mouth drooped slightly.

"Like this..." Xiao Yao said.

He heard a strange laugh, so he looked up towards the source of the sound and saw the white crow perched on the low eaves of a house.

"Go, go." Xiao Yao urged.

Chapter 382 My cat can do backflips

2023-11-16

During the entire October holiday, Xiao Yao kept in touch with Shen Jie, in addition to eating and sleeping, and doing homework.

Oh, yes, the girl left me her cell phone number and QQ, and also told me her name.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yao bought a new mobile phone that could log into QQ (he had plenty of pocket money anyway), and registered a new QQ number - because he had forgotten the QQ number he registered in junior high school.

He couldn't explain why he did this, but he knew that chatting with Shen Jie was really... a little fun.

"Is it fun to vacation in Xishan, Suzhou?" Don Quixote asked Shuhe.

"It's not fun." The girl's reply was quick but brief.

Xiao Yao waited for a while but got no response, so he had to type: "The main thing is to accompany your parents and old people to relax..."

Just when Xiao Yao hadn't decided whether to click send, the next message came: "What about you? Is there anything fun? Recommend it."

Xiao Yao was a little excited, because Shen Jie would not look for him unless he looked for her. She would just answer his questions one by one, and rarely would she take the initiative to continue the conversation like this.

"I'm shopping with my girlfriend," Xiao Yao answered truthfully. "She's trying on clothes inside, and I'm sitting on the sofa outside, helping her look at bags. It's so boring."

“Hahahahaha,” Shen Jie said, “You stinky man, looking at the pot with the bowl in his hand, right? But that’s how it is when you go shopping with your girlfriend, little brother, you have to get used to it.”

"What about you, sister?" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to ask, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

After I finished typing the message, but before I could send it out, Shen Jie sent another message back.

"Fortunately, my fiancé is different from you. He never gets bored when he goes shopping with me."

Xiao Yao's hand holding the phone trembled, and he opened his mouth wide at the screen.

“???” Xiao Yao said.

"?" Shen Jie said.

"How old are you?" Xiao Yao said.

"It was arranged by my family," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao, "It's just a marriage and a deal, it's normal."

"What's normal about this!!!" Xiao Yao said, "It's 2004!"

"Hehe," Shen Jie said, "It's okay. I don't really care about this kind of thing."

"So do you like him?" After typing this sentence, Xiao Yao felt it was stupid, so he deleted it. Then he typed it out again, deleted it again, repeated it twice, and finally sent it.

"What's there to like or dislike?" Shen Jie replied in a tone that seemed rather disapproving: "The kid whose hair hasn't even fully grown yet, is younger than you, and is still in junior high school."

"Huh????" Xiao Yao replied, "What little husband?"

"It's different," Shen Jie said, "The one in 'Little Husband' is about a child bride."

At this time, Yu Luying came out of the dressing room wearing a brand new long dress.

"She's out, I won't tell you yet." Xiao Yao typed quickly.

"I'm curious about what your girlfriend looks like," Shen Jie said, "Take a picture and send it to me."

“How do I post a picture?”

"MMS, you should study it."

"okay."

"Does this look good on me?" A clear and sweet female voice sounded from above Xiao Yao, who quickly raised his head: "It looks good, looks good."

"You didn't even look carefully!" Yu Luying pouted angrily and deliberately put her hands on her hips.

"No," Xiao Yao closed his phone cover and explained, "I just raised my head and my eyes lit up instantly. Whether it was good-looking or not was a matter of a moment, you know?"

"Then I bought it?" Yu Luying said, "What's wrong with you today? You kept looking at your phone when you came out. Who were you messaging?"

"A friend," Xiao Yao said vaguely, "What's the matter? I can't even look at my phone when I'm out with you. I'm so bored."

"I'm going to pay the bill." Yu Luying turned around.

"I'll tie the knot, I'll tie the knot." Xiao Yao took the lead.

"I don't want you to buy it for me." Yu Luying said angrily.

"Buy, buy, buy a lot." Xiao Yao said.

Dear readers, you should have figured out that Xiao Yao is now a complete scumbag - if this happened ten or twenty years later, he would definitely keep asking himself: What the hell am I doing?

After all, one has a girlfriend and the other has a fiancé, what's the point of chatting intensively every day? If they want to cheat, it's obviously not a human being. If they stay in the same place, they are wasting each other's time.

To put it bluntly, we are all adults, and the little thoughts in our hearts, that is Sima Yi's heart, are known to everyone.

But the problem is that they are all minors.

In the logic of middle school students, many things are different from those of adults.

Most adults know that it is difficult for men and women to have pure friendship, but many middle school students do not think so.
