You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"?" Xiao Yao was even more confused: "He wants to beat me? When he saw me in the hospital, he was very polite, greeted me with a smile, and was very proactive and enthusiastic, as if I had a very good relationship with him and was very familiar with him. You said it was inappropriate for me to pay attention to him, and it was impolite and embarrassing to ignore him. I was feeling very uncomfortable - but he actually said behind my back that he wanted to beat me up, so I..."

"My mother hopes that I can move back home as soon as possible," Yu Luying interrupted Xiao Yao's next outburst without hesitation: "But she knows about the five-meter distance limit, so she also knows that I can't do anything about it," Yu Luying continued: "I tried my best to stop her from running over to argue with you. She just told me not to let you touch me for the time being."

"Oh, what did you say?" Xiao Yao glanced at the two people holding hands and asked casually, "What did you say?"

"Of course I will agree to it." Yu Luying said calmly.

"Oh." Xiao Yao said as he suddenly did a wall-dong, pinning Yu Luying against a nearby wall: "Can I touch you?"

Yu Luying still looked at him expressionlessly, neither resisting nor agreeing: "I'm going to be late for school. There should be a lot of students from our school passing by at this intersection at this time."

Xiao Yao let her go angrily: "I'm going to be late because of you dawdling. I got up early..."

As they said this, the two continued walking towards the road leading to St. Francis College.

Since they were already close to the school, the two of them stopped holding hands, and Yu Luying even put the hand closest to him into her trouser pocket.

In fact, Xiao Yao was not blinded by lust, or even though Shen Jie had revoked his harem license, he still wanted to secretly open a branch mine outside - he was just deliberately testing Yu Luying.

However, regarding this point, it is not advisable to think too much when standing so close to Yu Luying.

"You two, what happened yesterday and later?" After walking a few hundred meters away, Yu Luying suddenly asked.

"No, I rejected it," Xiao Yao responded without hesitation, "How could I dare to do that?"

"What else are you afraid of?" Yu Luying said, "Wait, you rejected her, which means that she really took the initiative to be with you...with you..."

Xiao Yao realized his slip of the tongue and tightly shut his mouth.

Yu Luying: "..."

"Anyway," Xiao Yao said after waiting for half a minute, "I'm afraid that the symbiotic distance between you and me will be further shortened, so I don't dare."

Yu Luying nodded slightly when she heard this: "Since you still have this concept, I feel a little more relieved."

Is this a compliment, Xiao Yao thought.

That’s right, Yu Luying thought.

Although Yu Luying's face was still cold and expressionless, her inner tone had become slightly excited.

Okay, Xiao Yao thought.

A morning of high school life is plain and boring, with flag-raising, speeches, morning exercises, Chinese, math, and other boring things.

Early in the morning, a few individual classmates expressed positive concern for Xiao Yao and Yu Luying's return to school, sending their blessings, care and gossip.

From them, the two kids learned that all the sleeping sickness patients in the school had woken up at about the same time, and now all classes had been resumed.

Although the school and the health and disease control departments still have a lot of follow-up work to do, the temporary panic has finally passed and everything is beginning to return to normal.

In other words, the three of us are actually the last batch... the last batch to wake up?

No, that's not right. Everyone should have woken up the moment the "butcher" was subdued by Zhang Zhengkai. This is logical, and the three of us should be the last to return to class.

The topic of "sleeping sickness" was just gaining momentum. The whole morning, people kept pestering them with questions, and it seemed like it was going to become a new incredible event in the school.

Of course, there are also people who avoid them, as if they are afraid of being infected by some latent virus.

During the break, the cultural and entertainment committee member found Xiao Yu and the other person.

"You two, can you still participate in the Top Ten Singers Competition?" The Cultural and Entertainment Committee member said, "Confirm it."

"Why not?" Xiao Yao was stunned. "But shouldn't the competition time have passed?"

Chapter 399 The Age of Believing in Love

2023-12-04

If life were just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind paint the fan with sorrow?

At noon, the three little ones met secretly on the rooftop again.

Yu Luying did not prepare lunch boxes today. The two girls ate the lunch boxes that Xiao Yao brought from the cafeteria himself. Xiao Yao himself sat four or five meters away - sitting cross-legged, quietly admiring the two pretty girls eating their lunch boxes face to face.

This is truly called, listening to the long chant of the wind and looking at the beauty like a dream.

Shen Jie and Yu Luying were wearing the same school uniform today—a coffee-colored suit and trousers, not like the ones worn by migrant workers, but a new style for the first year of high school. The pattern and fabric design were much better than those for the second year of high school, and it seemed that the price had increased again. However, she was wearing white sneakers and white socks, highlighting a casual match.

Xiao Yao looked down at himself. He was also wearing a brown suit, but with summer sports school uniform trousers on his lower body. The clothes made him look like he had picked them up, making him look even more out of place than Shen Jie.

Thinking back to the first time I met Shen Jie not too long ago, at that time, even if she just went downstairs to empty the spittoon after dinner, she would pay attention to her matching clothes, otherwise she would definitely not go out - in just a few months, she learned how to be chic, which is really cause for celebration.

However, Xiao Yao sat so far away today not to admire the beauty.

He needs some space to think about problems independently.

He couldn't help but let his mind wander the whole morning, but because Yu Luying was sitting next to him, he had to devote all his attention to the intense and exciting study life.

The life of a good student is simple and unpretentious, yet not boring.

If I continue like this, when the classes are divided next semester, I might really be able to become the class monitor just like in my dream.

Hey, squad leader...

I was thinking about insignificant things.

In the morning, Xiao Yao tried to invade his deskmate's boundaries and explore her thoughts and memories.

A barrier of nothingness blocked him, which made Xiao Yao feel even more uneasy.

I don’t know if Yu Luying noticed my attempt to invade, but she didn’t say anything anyway.

At this moment, Yu Luying was eating while glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally out of the corner of her eyes.

There was a half-smile at the corner of his mouth.

She must have known that I was sitting so far away just to think secretly, but she saw through it but didn't say it out loud.

Xiao Yao somewhat disliked Yu Luying's scheming and cunning appearance.

He missed the clear and transparent little apple that was like a junior high school student.

Originally, in that dream, Yu Luying secretly cooperated with Zhang Zhengkai - this was certainly a betrayal, but it was still within the scope of what Xiao Yao could forgive and understand.

In fact, he was somewhat happy that Yu Luying cared about him so much.

I never thought that in order to get him and have him all to myself, she would actually be willing to accompany me to indulge in - Oh, wait, she will wake up in a month, right? After she wakes up, I will no longer love Shen Jie, right? Her heart is worthy of death.

But no matter what, at least she knew to emphasize to the butcher not to harm herself or Shen Jie, and at the last moment he did turn the gun around to help herself - to help Shen Jie.

Overall, although he is a comrade who made a principled mistake, he is still a comrade with limits and worth saving.

However, being clever, deceiving the organization, and thinking that one can manipulate the leader at will is making a mistake upon a mistake and committing a greater crime.

As a well-deserved leading man, Xiao Yao hates being fooled and manipulated by others.

If life were just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind paint the fan with sorrow?

In fact, when I first met Yu Luying, I really didn’t have any strong feelings or thoughts. I just simply regarded her as a classmate - a slightly more conspicuous classmate.

Later, at a school art performance, Yu Luying was wearing a black performance dress and playing the role of Moses or Messer on the cello. At that moment, Xiao Yao suddenly fell in love with her.

I have already described this matter in detail to my readers before, so I will not repeat it here. What I want to express is that the birth of love is often a spark that suddenly pops up at a certain moment, from a certain profile, in a certain scene or atmosphere.

Later, Xiao Yao's confession was rejected. What you can't get will always make you feel agitated, and what you can't get will always be the most fragrant. Once he got stuck in a dead end, he "loved" her more and there was no need to say more.

Now let’s go back and talk about Shen Jie.

The first time Xiao Yao saw Shen Jie was at the gate of the City Girls’ High School. Since he went there with the expectation of meeting her as his “future wife”, his first reaction upon seeing Shen Jie was “relief” and even “secret joy”.

Although he was satisfied with the house he saw, it didn't seem to be exactly the same as "love" - ​​and to be honest, she still made him feel a little distant.

It was probably from their first date in Gongqing Forest Park that he began to really like her. Her character and personality were more appealing to him than her appearance.

A person's libido is limited. When Xiao Yao's attention and interest gradually - in fact, quickly shifted to Shen Jie, his obsession and feelings for Yu Luying naturally faded slowly until she became just a background board of the white moonlight.

Here is the point.

Logically speaking, since Xiao Yao has some opinions about Yu Luying and they don't communicate, the gap and estrangement should be increasing day by day.

As a result, Xiao Yao liked her more.

To be specific, ever since leaving that damn dream, these days when Xiao Yao was with her - in fact, they were almost always together, well, especially when they were alone together, he would always easily feel nervous and palpitating, his heartbeat would speed up, and he would always couldn't help but secretly turn his head to look at her profile.

He began to want to be alone with her, cherish every minute and second they were alone, longed to go on a date with her, and wanted to write the name "Yu Luying" on his homework book with a pen without any purpose.

He missed her smile, her coat, her white socks and the smell of her body - even when she was sitting next to him.

Mm, it’s the taste of first love.

If life were just like the first time we met, why should the autumn wind paint the fan with sorrow?

However, there is no reasonable foreshadowing or twist in the story, and something seems to be wrong.

If it was just this kind of unreasonable admiration that was growing, it would be fine, but what was more terrifying was that as one thing grew, another diminished. His love for Shen Jie disappeared for no reason at all.

Maybe two-thirds, just as 19 days are two-thirds of a month.

For example, since waking up from this dream, every time he had some contact and exchange of oral soft tissues with Shen Jie, he felt dull and bored, and wondered why it didn't end soon.

He began to pay less attention to Shen Jie's clothes and almost stopped talking to her.

This manifested in the fact that when his fiancée started to become clingy, he would occasionally find her a bit annoying, and he felt that he needed more and larger private space.

This is also reflected in the fact that even without the hindrance of factors such as symbiosis, when he feels a little agitated inside, his first reaction is to find some Japanese romance movies to watch rather than teasing his little fiancée.

To say something rude to someone is "bored".

The real reason why he rejected her yesterday was not because he was worried about the symbiotic distance, he just simply didn't want to. He didn't know why he didn't want to - but he just didn't want to.

When holding Shen Jie's little hand, it was just like that cliché - like the left hand holding the right hand.

Don't get me wrong, he still loves her very much, values ​​her, depends on her, and regards her as the light of his life, his closest family member and his most beloved lover.

At least his brain hasn't changed at all, I can vouch for that.

But the brain does not actually have real power over the body. Many times your body has its own ideas and does not communicate with you at all.

When Xiao Yao first realized this change, he instinctively denied it.

He thought it was just some kind of illusion, or the sequelae of having a big dream, or the negative psychological suggestion caused by what Zhang Zhengkai told him in the dream, or maybe it was some normal phenomenon that the novelty faded and love began to fall into a dull stage.

But after a week, he found that he still couldn't deceive himself.

This doesn't make any fucking sense.

I should have been like Shen Jie, loving and clinging to each other even more after this dream ended.

As a result, not only did it not happen, but the hormones~~pop, they were gone!

Xiao Yao found this unbearable and thought it was a shameful betrayal of Miao Mama. He would not allow himself to do this.

The reason why Yan Xiao abandoned Daiyu was "I'm tired of you". For Xiao Yao, if he became like this, he felt that Shen Jie had reason to hang him with a rope.

If another ten or twenty years had passed, Xiao Yao, a single man in his thirties (assuming that was the timeline in which he had not met Shen Jie?), might have found it easier to understand this situation and not be prone to blind panic.

Perhaps in the blind date market, the old bachelor will meet a girl who is neither tall nor short, neither beautiful nor ugly.

The two of them have suitable family backgrounds, are of the same age, and have similar outlooks.

Xiao Yao started dating the girl and found that she had a good personality and was fairly obedient to him. They planned to get engaged and married after a year or two.

Even after their daughter was born and was already three years old, when someone asked him "Do you love your wife?" he would think it was a particularly ridiculous question.

What is there to love or not love? In the world of adults, in the world of middle-aged people, there is only "suitability", there is only a marriage of mutual support.

He would treat her as his closest relative, as the mother of his child, and as a family member, but he would not answer such questions.

He would hide in the toilet to avoid paying his taxes.

When he is unhappy or has conflicts or quarrels, he will complain online about "what does marriage bring to men".

Love and hormones, they all sound so far away, they are luxuries for young people.

But here lies the problem - Xiao Yao is now just a young man who has the most idealistic and beautiful fantasies and visions about love.

Of course he would not leave Shen Jie, and he could not tolerate himself "saying he doesn't love her anymore" either.

None of his morals, his emotions, and his reason would allow him to just "get by".

Not to mention that when he lost his "feelings" for Shen Jie, he was still irresistibly attracted to Yu Luying, and it was getting worse day by day.

This is definitely what is called "mental infidelity", right?

Xiao Yao had heard of a vicious spell called the "Love Locking Spell". Of course, like most people, he thought it was just a fiction and would not take it seriously.
