You are my wife, don't doubt it!

My lower abdomen, which was already uncomfortable due to my menstrual period, became even more painful.

--split line--

At the same time, in a public bathroom two kilometers away from the school.

"Ah——" As usual, Xiao Yao made an unknown sound that attracted people's attention.

His whole body seemed to melt into the water of the big bathtub.

Like all old public housing units, grandma's house has no bathroom, and people have to use a spittoon to urinate and defecate, so taking a bath is naturally inconvenient.

Every Saturday, Xiao Yao comes to this "public bathhouse".

Grandma gave me ten yuan, five yuan for the ticket and five yuan for a back rub.

Xiao Yao saved the money from back scrubbing and bought a copy of "Online Gaming News", "Game Dealer Intelligence", and the "Science Fiction Emperor" that arrived yesterday. This was enough for him to enjoy a spiritual feast for the entire morning.

Xiao Yao didn't soak in the bath for long today, mainly because his stomach was feeling uncomfortable.

It's weird. Although the meal Shen Tianyun cooked yesterday was not very good, it was just ordinary and not tasty. How could it be possible that she fainted from eating so much?

Maybe it's time for a checkup.

He was lying on an old man's non-slip bathroom stool, covered with a white blanket, flipping through this issue of The Science Fiction Emperor.

This morning, he received a rejection letter from the magazine and was quite devastated.

However, he still loves to read "Science Fiction Emperor" because each novel in it contains a new and incredible wonderful world.

Speaking of the wonderful new world, last night, he took Shen Tianyun to learn about the year 2034.

In 2034, there will be neither civilian aircraft filling the sky nor cat-shaped intelligent robots; there will be no time travel, no space teleportation, no landing on Mars, and humans have not even returned to the moon; virtual reality VR does exist, but it is just bulky glasses that only provide vision and hearing.

The 30-year technology tree seems to have been focused on the so-called "smartphone". Apart from the use of cleaner electric cars as a new type of transportation, there are not many other changes from now.

Yes, the world has not become a better place, and people have not become happier.

Oh, by the way, ...such a future made Xiao Yao even more pessimistic.

Forget it, I’d better read the magazine carefully. Today’s “Galaxy Award Essay Contest” is the new work of Liu Cikang.

As "Big Liu" is the number one figure in China's science fiction world, Xiao Yao is naturally his fan.

……

Alas, it's too short and not satisfying at all.

I really want to read his new work soon...

and many more? !

……

……

……

"Liu Cikang?" Shen Tianyun stroked his chin: "What happened to Liu Cikang?"

"Do you know this person?" Xiao Yao asked expectantly.

"Of course I know. His texts are selected in the Chinese textbook." Shen Tianyun said as a matter of course.

"Is it so amazing?" Xiao Yao couldn't believe his ears.

"Several movies were made based on his novels, and they all did very well at the box office," Shen Tianyun said, "So you want to read his new book?"

"OK."

"Well, the most famous one is the book 'The Three-Body Problem'." Shen Tianyun poked at the phone for a while and handed it to Xiao Yao: "Take your time to read it."

"I don't like reading books on my phone, can you buy me a physical copy?"

"Then I have to order it online, and it will take several days to arrive."

"Forget it, it's just a phone." Xiao Yao took the phone.

For the rest of the weekend, except for eating and sleeping, Xiao Yao stayed on the hard sofa, sometimes smiling, sometimes twisting and turning.

"Is this "The Three-Body Problem" really that good?" Shen Tianyun sat cross-legged next to Xiao Yao, watching the drama on her tablet.

"It's great," Xiao Yao said excitedly, "It's amazing! How come you haven't seen it?"

"I haven't seen it." Shen Tianyun took off the Bluetooth headset and thought: "Well, you've been watching it for a whole day and night, don't you do your homework?"

"Didn't you write it either?" Xiao Yao blurted out.

"...I finished it at school on Friday!" the two said in unison.

"Dad," Shen Tianyun suddenly thought of something and changed her tone to a coquettish one: "Will you watch TV series with me?"

"No," Xiao Yao refused without thinking: "I'm just watching the exciting part, I want to finish watching The Three-Body Problem."

"The phone is mine, give it back to me!" Shen Tianyun's face fell and she opened her palms to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao ignored it.

"Corgi Corgi Corgi..." Shen Tianyun showed a devilish smile and began to tickle Xiao Yao.

"Hahahahahahahaha...don't...don't...can't I watch it with you?" Xiao Yao raised the white flag as quickly as the French.

"That's about right," Shen Tianyun said with satisfaction, "Watching future TV series will also help you understand the world I'm in."

The girl crossed her legs, placed the tablet on Xiao Yao's knees, took his arm and rested her little head on his shoulder.

"Ahem..." Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed.

The warmth from Shen Tianyun's body was transmitted to him, and the faint fragrance of her hair filled his nostrils.

Xiao Yao's heart started beating wildly - when had he ever seen such a scene?

"What's wrong?" Shen Tianyun noticed something was wrong with Xiao Yao: "Ah, why is your face red? Are you shy?"

Xiao Yao's upper body was stiff and straight.

"Watch your play." He said in an inaudible voice.

At this moment, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

"Yaoyao..." the old lady called out with a loving face.

In the middle of summer, Xiao Yao seemed to be drenched in ice water from head to toe in an instant: Didn’t he remember that he had clearly locked the door?

Shen Tianyun quickly shook off his arm, put her feet down from the sofa, and fumbled around on the floor to find her slippers: "Grandma..."

"This is my classmate, Shen Tian..." Xiao Yao introduced stutteringly.

Grandma's expression was not only a little surprised, but also very happy: "You guys play, you guys play."

As she spoke, she hurriedly left the room.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

"Grandma... doesn't care about you as little as you say." Finally, Shen Tianyun broke the silence: "She is very happy to see that you have made friends."

"Um……"

"What are you daydreaming about?" Shen Tianyun poked Xiao Yao in dissatisfaction: "What are you thinking about?"

"You said..." Xiao Yao put down the tablet in his hand: "The Three-Body Problem didn't exist in 2004, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Shen Tianyun asked in confusion.

"It's okay, just thinking about it."

Chapter 8 Repeating a Grade

Although grandma was happy that Xiao Yao brought his female classmate home to play, she would not allow them to spend the night together.

So the problem is, since Shen Tianyun couldn't leave Xiao Yao's room, that is to say, she couldn't walk out and leave Xiao Yao's home through the soap room in front of her grandmother.

Xiao Yao watched a play with Shen Tianyun all night. At around ten o'clock, grandma started coughing loudly outside the door, walking back and forth, and banging the broom everywhere.

Just when the two of them were getting as anxious as ants on a hot pan in the room, the old lady of the Jin family came to the rescue.

After telling Shen Tianyun to go home early and not to worry her mother, grandma happily went to old lady Jin's house to play cards.

As soon as grandma left, Shen Tianyun went into the closet.

After Xiao Yao finished washing up, he sat on the sofa to organize his schoolbag when he felt something hit his butt.

Ah, this square thing, Shen Tianyun said it was called a "tablet" or a "film", and she used it to watch TV series. On the hanging rope on the corner, there was a crystal clear glass water drop: the water drop was quite long, almost two little fingers, and it was a little light blue under the light, which was very beautiful.

Xiao Yao felt that it would be better to return this thing to Shen Tianyun as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only would the machine break, but even the glass ball would fall which would be quite bad.

He knocked on the closet door, waited for a while and when no one answered, he opened the closet door and walked in.

Shen Tianyun was not in the room and the lights were not on. Xiao Yao put the machine on the table in the moonlight and prepared to leave quietly.

However, the layout of this room was ultimately different from his own.

Xiao Yao turned around and raised his leg, kicking a chair with wheels underneath. The chair moved and crashed into the bookshelf in the corner.

He hurriedly went over to hold the bookshelf. Fortunately, there were only stuffed toys on the bookshelf, and not many books. Only one book fell from the top of the bookshelf to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Xiao Yao picked up the book and found it was a beautiful photo album. He took it out of the cover by the spine and found a small combination lock on the other side.

It’s 2034 now, do we still use physical photo albums?

Xiao Yao didn't think much about it and subconsciously turned the password.

000000? Wrong. 888888? Wrong. 123456? Still wrong.

This kind of lock that falls off with a single tug actually has a password? Xiao Yao teased in his heart.

As for birthdays, I don’t know Shen Jie’s birthday yet, and I haven’t told Shen Tianyun’s either. I only have…

880630, click, the lock is opened.

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment.

"How much do you love me?" Xiao Yao said this in a nonchalant manner and curled his nose.

This is Shen Tianyun’s photo album starting from her childhood, and it seems that all of them were taken on important holidays.

Birthday, Christmas, Spring Festival, birthday, Christmas, Spring Festival, the round-faced fat girl gradually turned into a half-human-tall little girl, graceful and elegant.

The man next to her didn't change much, but when Xiao Yao thought that the man was herself, she felt that there had been a big change.

"Men change a lot when they grow up. I am becoming more and more handsome."

Xiao Yao actually hoped to see Shen Jie in the photos, but she was never in the picture.

This photo album should perhaps be called "Comrade Shen Jie in Poland".

Flipping through the pages, Xiao Yao discovered a small velvet bag inside the album, with the opening of the bag tied with a silk rope.

Xiao Yao untied the silk rope and took out another glass water drop from the bag. It was very similar to the previous one, the biggest difference being that it had a long and thin tail.

I thought it was jewelry.

Judging from the photos here, these two glass water drops are the Christmas gifts that my future self gives to Shen Tianyun. The two are a pair. Both Shen Tianyun and myself in the photos are smiling happily.

Xiao Yao pinched the tail of the glass water drop and twisted it, then continued to turn to the next page.

Surprisingly, there was no photo on this page, only a folded piece of paper.

But, Shen Tianyun was only about 10 years old at this point? There were still many blank pages at the back of the album.

He picked up the piece of graph paper puzzledly. On it were the child's crooked handwriting, which looked like an essay.

Christmas

When the swallows came, my father was on a business trip and it would take a long time for him to come. I asked my mother if a long time meant nine days. My mother did not answer me.

It started to rain and my dad didn't come. I asked my mom why he didn't come even after such a long time. My mom got angry and didn't answer me.

The leaves on the trees turned yellow, and my father didn't come. I asked my mother why he hadn't come yet when it had been so long. My mother started crying again and didn't answer me.

The wind started to get very cold, and Dad didn't come yet. I asked the snowflakes why Dad hadn't come yet when it had been so long. The snowflakes said that Santa Claus knew when Dad would come.

I like Santa Claus the most. He brings me the gift I want most every year.

The snow melted, the grass turned green, the swallows came, but Santa Claus did not come.
