"Of course I'm joking," Shen Jie raised her jade hand and stroked Xiao Yao's temples: "Besides, how could Gouzi not love me, right?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded weakly, like a puppy caught in the rain.

"We are so bored," Shen Jie sighed, "We were joking around and ended up quarreling."

"Even if I don't love you anymore," Xiao Yao insisted, "we can't separate."

"Okay, okay, we won't separate. We won't separate." Shen Jie narrowed her eyes and smiled like a crescent moon.

"Even if you don't love me anymore, we can't separate."

"Silly boy, I will never stop loving you - how could I not love you?" Shen Jie hugged Xiao Yao's waist, and suddenly turned around (physically), riding him on top of her.

"Even if you don't love me anymore, we can't separate." Xiao Yao remained unmoved and repeated it again.

"Okay, okay, let's not separate - what happened to you today?" Shen Jie put her forehead against Xiao Yao's forehead and shook her little head vigorously.

"Even if one day we don't love each other anymore, we can't separate." Xiao Yao rubbed his forehead with her: "Even if one day we hate each other, we can't separate."

"You're so stupid?" Shen Jie asked angrily, "Don't you think this sounds like a curse?"

"Mama Meow," Xiao Yao said, "Let's try again."

"No, no, no, no, you're crazy," Shen Jie rejected without hesitation, "It's already late, and we have to go to school tomorrow."

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep."

"Meow~"

"Shit, the cat wasn't caught again."

"Go ahead and throw it into the soap room."

"You go."

"Rock, Scissors--"

"Boo! Hahahahaha! Fuck!"

"You go."

"Win two out of three!"

"Anyway, she's 30 years later, so it's okay for me to hit you."

"Okay, okay, I'll go."

The next day, Thursday, October 10, after school, Xiao Yao went to block Zhang Zhengkai at the gate of his junior high school.

I'm really familiar with this kind of thing, Xiao Yao thought.

Yu Luying stopped him from going at first, with the high-sounding reason of "I need to rehearse with the orchestra". As a result, the orchestra rehearsal was cancelled because too many people had to make final preparations for tomorrow's Top Ten Campus Singers Competition.

Now Yu Luying was speechless. After changing her mind, she thought it would not be a bad idea to confront Zhang Zhengkai face to face, so she agreed to go with him.

Chapter 402

2023-12-07

When Zhang Zhengkai saw Xiao Yao coming to see him, he frowned, but still forced a smile and greeted him: "Why didn't you call in advance--"

Before he could even utter the word "phone", he was punched hard and the expression on his face changed instantly.

Xiao Yao had planned to throw this punch long ago, but his plan was to use 20% to 30% of his strength, but inexplicably he only used 70% of his strength. It was no wonder that Zhang Zhengkai's face changed after such a heavy blow.

"I didn't get enough last time!" Zhang Zhengkai yelled, and subconsciously clenched his fists.

The old man who was the doorman at Zhang Zhengkai's school also leaned over with the intercom in his hand.

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed by "excessive force", but he couldn't bring himself to apologize, so he hooked his hand around Zhang Zhengkai's shoulder, pretended to be affectionate, and hugged Zhang Zhengkai's small body into his arms. Then he clenched his left fist, poked him lightly, and turned him 180 degrees: "You kid! Ah! You kid! What the hell did you do! You screwed me over!"

Zhang Zhengkai loosened his clenched fists, and the old man at the door sat back down and plugged the intercom back into the base.

"What...what's the matter again...?" Zhang Zhengkai said with a wry smile.

Before Xiao Yao could say anything, Yu Luying came up to him again, kicking and punching him with her hands and feet.

Zhang Zhengkai: “???????”

This world is so unfair. When Xiao Yao punched Zhang Zhengkai, he immediately attracted the attention of the security guards and passers-by, but Yu Luying punched him several times with her hands and feet, but the people around her turned a blind eye.

"Hurry up and tell this dog Xiao Yao," Yu Luying said angrily, "Your dog... dog... the me in the dream is not me! I didn't make any deal with you!"

"What, what is this?" Zhang Zhengkai held his head with both hands. "Aren't you trying to force a confession? I don't even know what you are talking about."

……

Three young boys and girls sat together on the curb outside the "Aunt Cao's Fried Pork Chops" shop, sitting on small plastic chairs around a small wooden square table, eating Shanghai fried pork chops dipped in special soy sauce.

"You said you don't like Shen Jie anymore?" Yu Luying's already big eyes widened even bigger than copper bells. At that moment, Xiao Yao felt that she was not actually acting.

Is she really innocent? No, I am not so easily fooled.

Yu Luying seemed to have caught his thoughts and turned her head to look at him angrily.

"You are not allowed to tell Shen Jie," Xiao Yao warned her, "otherwise I will never speak to you again."

Yu Luying sneered, "It's like no one wants to talk to you."

“…Why are you looking at me?” Zhang Zhengkai spread his hands and said, “I won’t tell her either.”

"I regret letting her remove you from the blacklist now," Xiao Yao deliberately put on a ferocious expression and said half-truthfully, "From the perspective of interests, you should have told her."

"Come on," Zhang Zhengkai covered his eyes with one hand, waved his other hand forward, and said with a smile, "I don't like Shen Jie anymore."

"What?" Xiao Yao was surprised at first, then he immediately reacted: "Oh."

Xiao Yao caught a glimpse of Yu Luying, who also had a surprised expression on her face.

“Not only that,” Zhang Zhengkai told Xiao Yao and Yu Luying, “I’m not afraid of you when I tell you… I’m not afraid of you… Whenever I think of her now, I even feel disgusted and disgusted.”

"Men like you are really..." Yu Luying condemned with dissatisfaction.

"Wait, this isn't right..." Xiao Yao said, "How long have you been in the dream? How come... didn't you say you'd stay in the dream for a month? It's been 19 days for me, and other students have been in it longer than me..."

"I don't know either," Zhang Zhengkai scratched his head and said, "I heard the butcher say one month, so it's probably just an approximate number. Didn't you get it in 19 days, too?"

Xiao Yao: "..."

Zhang Zhengkai: "Either a month would be irreversible damage, but your case can still be saved."

"Thank you." Xiao Yao said unhappily.

"Anyway, my situation should be different from yours—" Zhang Zhengkai said: "I guess that I lost my feelings for Shen Jie because I faced my obsession and controlled it."

"You speculate, you estimate, you guess," Xiao Yao said, "How come you know nothing when asked? You know nothing at all?"

"I really don't know..." Zhang Zhengkai said, "I think the person who tied the bell should be the one who can untie it."

Xiao Yao slammed the table and said, "Look, I came to see you, didn't I?"

"We must find that monk," Zhang Zhengkai said firmly, "and force him to give us the antidote."

Xiao Yao: "...I really gained a lot from coming to see you today! - No, I have to beat you up again today, and you are not allowed to fight back."

"Does it have to be like this?" Zhang Zhengkai said pitifully.

Yu Luying also didn't care - Zhang Zhengkai, who knew nothing about the butcher's behavior, couldn't say anything at all, let alone testify to Xiao Yao that "she is not her".

"What on earth have you conquered?" Yu Luying said angrily.

After persuading Zhang Zhengkai to voluntarily pay for the pork chops for the three of them, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying walked home.

The atmosphere between the two people eased a little (compared to this week). At least they could talk about the weather, the night street scene, and tomorrow's singing competition.

"Xiao Yao," Yu Luying called him when they walked into the alley of his grandmother's house.

"Ah." Xiao Yao turned around.

"That's really not me. I really, really know nothing about it." Yu Luying said sincerely.

Looking at the girl's watery eyes in the night, Xiao Yao really couldn't say to her, "Tsk, I don't believe you." But if he said "I believe you", it would obviously be a lie, so he could only reach out and touch Yu Luying's head: "Let's go."

"Believe me!" Yu Luying took two quick steps in a fit of impulse and hugged Xiao Yao's waist with both hands: "We are symbiotic, can't you read my memory?"

"I can't read it," Xiao Yao shook his head and told Yu Luying, "I can't read anything about that dream. It's like there's a barrier blocking me."

Yu Luying was about to say something else when she suddenly saw the curtains of Xiao Yao's bedroom window move, and she quickly let go of her hands.

After going upstairs, Shen Jie was obviously in a bad mood and kept asking them where the two of them had been.

"We went to the park on Mondays and again on Thursdays. Have you two developed a habit?" Shen Jie said, "Grandma and I cooked dinner and waited for you at home, but you two ate so much that your bellies were full and you didn't even send a text message."

"You, you cooked too?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

"Don't change the subject!"

"No, today is Thursday, Yu Luying..." Xiao Yao stammered.

"Don't talk nonsense! There is a campus top ten singing competition tomorrow, so all the school clubs are suspended today!" Shen Jie said.

"Let's stop talking and eat first." Grandma said weakly.

"They all ate their fill outside!" said Shen Jie.

"The two of us went to see Zhang Zhengkai," Xiao Yao said, "to discuss the pursuit of Shi Hui."

"Chasing?" Grandma asked in confusion.

"Oh, then why didn't you take me——" Shen Jie was startled, then reacted: "Oh okay, let's eat. Did Brother Bo take you there?"

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying had another dinner under the coercion of their grandmother and Shen Jie, and the three little ones went downstairs for their final rehearsal.

At night, Xiao Yao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, which affected Shen Jie as well.

I don’t know why, but the argument with Yu Luying on Monday night keeps flashing in my mind.

"That's really not me. I really, really know nothing." The way Yu Luying said this was also replayed in front of my eyes.

At that time, I reminded Yu Luying: "When have you ever been a student committee member? I remember your mother said that you never liked to manage people."

"Yes, no, I remembered it wrongly." Yu Luying shook her head gently and turned to leave.

"The Yu Luying in my dream is obviously you. Do you admit it?" Xiao Yao grabbed her and asked.

"The me you dreamed about was me?" Yu Luying frowned: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

"I know what I'm talking about," Xiao Yao was still aggressive: "I met you in that long dream, but you told me that you had a completely different dream. You didn't admit that you and I were in the same dream."

"What do you mean by denying it? What I told you is what I know, or do you think that dreams can be divided into real and fake? Are you crazy?"

"I'm crazy! Because I want to know all the time whether the Yu Luying I met in my dream, that two-faced and unscrupulous bad woman, is the Yu Luying in front of me now!"

"Two-faced? Unscrupulous?" Yu Luying's eyes widened: "When you told me about your dream last time, you didn't use such a vicious description."

"If that wasn't you, what does it have to do with you? And I just wanted to be as objective as possible."

"You're talking nonsense. There are no objective dreams in the world! And the woman in your dream certainly has nothing to do with me, but she has something to do with you! Because that's the me in your heart, two-faced! Unscrupulous!"

"Are you trying to turn the tables?"

"It was you who first made up stories and threw dirty water at me!"

"You're obviously lying. Is it so hard to admit it?"

"You're not telling the truth either!"

"I said it for the sake of objective narration!"

"I also said I remembered it wrong!"

……

"You believe me!" Then, the scene in front of him jumped to the scene a few hours ago - the girl took two quick steps and hugged her waist with both hands.

Xiao Yao closed his eyes tightly and shook his head vigorously.

"What's wrong with you?" The person beside him suddenly reached out and covered Xiao Yao's arm: "You can tell me anything that's on your mind."

"What do you think?" Xiao Yao was slightly startled and asked in a bitter voice, "Is the Yu Luying who cooperated with the butcher in the dream Yu Luying?"

Shen Jie was slightly stunned.
