You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Wha, what?" Shen Jie's heart skipped a beat.

"Grandma, no more." Shen Hongsheng said.

Chapter 406 To commemorate farewell

2024-01-22

Shen Jie's original intention was that she would go back to attend the funeral by herself and let Xiao Yao and Yu Luying continue to go to Tangshan Hot Spring. Otherwise, the tickets they bought would be wasted. Secondly, she would feel bad about ruining the mood of the two people. However, Yu Luying did not hesitate. Refused.

The two had a small dispute, and then Yu Luying simply said: "Sister, I like to tell the truth. If I go to a hot spring with him for a private bath, I will definitely be innocent."

"No, who do you think I am?" Xiao Yao said quickly: "I'm not in the mood to go to this hot spring. I will definitely accompany you at this time."

"Why are you accompanying me?" Shen Jie touched the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile, "I can't take you back with me, can I? At this time, I can't give my dad eye drops, can I?"

Xiao Yao was speechless and could only nodded silently.

The three little ones got out of the car, caught a car and drove back home. After returning to the Magic City, they went straight to Shen Jie's grandmother's residence.

Xiao Yao had never been to this place before. Shen Jie's original intention was that Xiao Yao and Yu Luying should not get out of the car and go back directly - but Xiao Yao insisted on paying the fare and took Yu Luying to get off the car with Shen Jie.

The three little ones stood on the curb and watched the taxi drive away.

A gust of cold wind blew by, swirling up the few dead leaves on the roadside, and Xiao Yao couldn't help but shiver.

Things happened so fast and suddenly that Xiao Yao still lacks a sense of reality.

During these days, he had imagined countless times what it would be like for Shen Jie to leave one day.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he subconsciously avoided it.

Possibility.

Just like the attitude of many people when facing death.

Xiao Yao had a strong, unreasonable premonition that Shen Jie would never come back after leaving.

This strong uneasiness prevented him from leaving gracefully or allowing Shen Jie to leave.

But if something like this happened to Shen Jie's family, what could he do? Don't let Shen Jie go? Do you have to go along?

That would be too ignorant.

Not only that, he couldn't even reveal his worries and anxieties to Shen Jie.

That would be too much like a spoiled child.

But now, there is no doubt that what Shen Jie needs is a man's shoulder to lean on, not an insecure child who can only hug his legs and cry.

Therefore, even if Xiao Yao couldn't act like a man, he couldn't let the child out.

Therefore, he just held Shen Jie's hands with both hands without saying a word.

Yu Guanbao stood aside, looking at this and that. For about half a minute, none of the three people spoke.

Then, Xiao Yao reached out and took Shen Jie into his arms.

Although there is no longer a pounding feeling when looking at her, the affection and affection between the couple are still there.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel sad.

Although he said nothing, Shen Jie saw through his mind and captured his anxiety.

"Gouzi, don't worry, I'll be back soon after I finish handling it." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Even if my dad doesn't let me come back to live," Shen Jie thought for a moment, then added a little less confidently: "I will...also...will always be with you."

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "I can rescue you once, and I can rescue you a second time."

"I believe you." Shen Jie's nails pulled tightly on Xiao Yao's back and pecked him on the face.

Shen Jie's clear statement more or less dispelled the anxiety in Xiao Yao's heart.

He pretended to be cool and took the initiative to let go of Shen Jie: "Okay, don't delay, go ahead. Ask our grandma for me..."

Then I thought about it, I couldn't ask anymore: "To your father...oh, forget it."

"Okay." Shen Jie raised her right hand and squeezed Xiao Yao's penis.

……

"Go." Xiao Yao urged.

"Then, I'm really leaving." Shen Jie made a "call" gesture to Xiao Yao, and then waved to Yu Luying: "Silly girl."

Yu Luying hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and gave Shen Jie a brief hug.

Before Shen Jie walked into the lush community, she looked back at Xiao Yao three times.

When he turned back for the last time, the dazzling sunlight hit the girl's face, making Xiao Yao unable to see her face clearly.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Xiao Yao could feel her sadness.

The young man's heart was pulled in the air, and it hurt.

The two of them returned home, but Tianyun and grandma were not at home. The two of them stared at the empty bedroom for more than ten seconds.

"If I had known better, I would have better go to the hot spring." Yu Luying walked to Xiao Yao's bed and sat down, tapping the outside of her thigh with her small pink fist.

"Aren't you worried about your innocence?" Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying glanced at him.

"It's better to say goodbye." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "If something happens to Shen Jie, how can I still have fun?"

Yu Luying glanced at him again, and then said, "I'm going back to the room."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards Shen Tianyun's room with her legs up, as confidently as if it was her own room.

"Hey, hey," Xiao Yao stopped her: "Don't leave?"

"What are you doing again?" Yu Luying didn't look back and put one hand on the door handle of the closet.

"Just..." Xiao Yao hesitated: "Let's do our homework together."

The air conditioner in Xiao Yao's grandma's house is not very good at heating. I didn't think of changing it when I had some spare money these days. Now the two little ones are freezing cold and the hand holding the pen is a little frozen. Yu Luying wants to win over Xiao Yao. Tianyun's room was heated, but she saw that he had been using his mobile phone to send and receive messages, and knew that he was keeping in touch with Shen Jie, so he didn't say anything. He just silently added a layer of thick woolen stockings that were not very sexy. .

Since breaking up with Shen Jie, Xiao Yao's contact with her has not been broken, which makes the young man feel relieved. Perhaps he was busy dealing with his mother's funeral, but Shen Hongsheng did not use violence against his daughter for the time being, nor did he restrict her freedom of communication and movement.

For now.

Shen Jie's grandma actually passed away on Friday. For some reason, Shen Hongsheng waited until Saturday morning to notify her.

Shen Jie called Xiao Yao on Sunday night and asked him if he wanted to attend her grandma's memorial service.

At that time, Xiao Yao was sucking Shen Jie's cat. He nodded the cat's head with his finger and said useless nonsense: "You little kitten, your master has gone home now. Do you know that now?" Only I can take care of you..."

At this time, Shen Jie's call came in. It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, but Xiao Yao became energetic.

"Hello, wifey," Xiao Yao answered the phone.

"The memorial service will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." Shen Jie did not exchange greetings with him, but went straight to the topic. There was a hint of exhaustion in the girl's voice: "Do you - do you want to come? I just have to ask for another leave from the school."

"Come on, come on," Xiao Yao agreed without hesitation: "Your dad won't skin me alive right?"

"I told him," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao concisely: "He agreed."

"Ah," Xiao Yao said, "Have you been persuading him for a long time?"

That's why you came to notify me so late.

"It's not bad." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao certainly understood what it meant to be allowed to attend the memorial service, and he would not miss such an opportunity.

"Don't be too pushy. After all... the school... still takes priority," Shen Jie said hesitantly: "And you have to ask the silly girl's opinion. After all, she also has to ask for leave. Stop making your own decisions. ,besides……"

On Monday, November 2004, 11, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying attended the memorial service of Grandma Shen Jie.

It’s still the same place and street—Longhua.

Back then, uh, that month we came together to say goodbye - no, the scene of saying goodbye to Teacher Song Haijian was still vivid in my mind. I didn't expect to be standing in front of the Naihe Bridge again so soon.

The temperature today is very low. Even the shallow puddles on the road are covered with a layer of ice, which makes a crunching sound when you step on it.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to wear his big winter uniform jacket issued by the school, but in the end he chose a more formal suit and dressed himself up like a dog.

Shen Jie bought this suit for him.

Then, at the gate of Longhua, his suit had been blown through by the morning breeze, so he had to stamp his feet and rub his hands, hug himself with both hands, and then hang down his waist.

Yu Luying was naturally very cold, but she managed to maintain her etiquette and demeanor.

She was also wearing a black formal suit today, without a hat or gloves.

The pantyhose, like her long skirt, were pure black and opaque. This color not only made her calves look more slender, but also made her whole person look elegant and solemn.

Yu Luying didn't look good. In fact, before leaving the house, she lost her temper with Xiao Yao for no reason. The main reason was that she didn't want to ask for leave from the school, didn't want to attend the memorial service, and didn't want to be Xiao Yao's self-propelled briefcase. In short, she was making trouble unreasonably. , after the trouble was over, he apologized to Xiao Yao, dressed up carefully and accompanied him out.

"Are you here?" Shen Jie's message came from Xiao Yao's mobile phone.

"We're here." Xiao Yao replied.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jie heard the name of the venue where the memorial service would be held.

On both sides of the gate of Longhua Funeral Home are two huge flower beds filled with flowers and green plants. It had just rained last night and the ground was still wet. The earthy smell floating in the air felt very strange in this place.

Xiao Yao walked on the asphalt ground while staring at the green pines planted on the green belt.

He liked the tall trees with their strong trunks and elegant branches.

Different from Song Haijian's simple memorial service, the farewell ceremony for Shen's grandmother was held in the central hall. The space inside was large, the light was bright, and the decoration was the most solemn.

There were no priests, priests or monks in sight. The room was vertical and larger than the church of the Sacred Heart. There were at least a few hundred people gathered inside. Most of them were social celebrities, business elites and the upper class, looking well-dressed and well-dressed. People, in groups of two or three, were discussing something.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was glad that he was wearing the most decent outfit. At the same time, he was also happy that the heating in the auditorium was fully turned on.

"Xiao Yao!" Just as Xiao Yao stretched his neck and looked for someone, the familiar and smart voice came from the other end of the hall.

Xiao Yao turned his head, saw the familiar figure, and subconsciously ran a few steps towards her. He was worried that Yu Luying would not be able to keep up, so he stopped again.

At this time, Shen Jie had already rushed to him.

The girl wore a yellow chrysanthemum on her head, all in black, and her left arm wore a large piece of black cloth with a small piece of red cloth embedded in it. Her eyes were red, and she was smiling to herself.

Xiao Yao also smiled at her and stretched out his hand to hug her. But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he felt that the occasion was inappropriate and retracted it.

"Hi." Shen Jie said.

"Hi." Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

What the hell, we haven't seen each other for two days, why are we so awkward?

Then, Shen Jie and Yu Luying greeted each other again, then gave Xiao Yao a piece of red and black cloth with a clip, saying that she had something else to do, and left.

Xiao Yao held this large piece of black cloth inlaid with small pieces of red cloth in his hand, feeling that he was holding the marriage certificate to Shen Jie.

"Do you want me to help you?" Yu Luying stretched her head and asked.

"No, no, I can wear it myself."

After pinning the black cloth to the outside of the sleeves of his suit with paper clips, and seeing that the memorial service would not start for a while, Xiao Yaosui took Yu Luying in a large circle around the edge of the hall.

The air was filled with a faint melody of light music accompanied by the light chorus of male voices, which made Xiao Yao feel very comfortable.

At first, he thought someone was playing the piano, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the piano in the memorial hall, let alone the male choir. Then he realized that it was probably playing a CD.

This melody was somewhat familiar. After listening carefully for seven or eight seconds, Xiao Yao realized that this was "The Sound of Silence".

I heard that this song was played at Kennedy's funeral.

The lyrics are naturally in English, but with Yu Luying's vocabulary and hearing, Xiao Yao can roughly understand the main idea of ​​the lyrics.

“Hello, darkness, my old friend;

I'm here to talk to you again.

Because there is a hallucination creeping up on me;

It left its seeds while I was sleeping.

This illusion,

Take root in my mind,
