You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"You are so beautiful, it's normal that Teacher Yao likes you." Xiao Yao teased her.

“…I won’t talk to you anymore!”

Xiao Yao said seriously: "I just think that judging others for thought crimes is the most terrible thing in the world."

Chapter 75 Beautiful Magic City

2023-01-08

Xiao Yao said seriously, "I just think that judging others for thought crimes is the most terrible thing in the world."

"But I say to you, anyone who looks at a woman with lustful eyes has already lusted after her in his heart. Matthew 5:28." Yu Luying hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Who among you is without sin? Throw a stone at her first!" Xiao Yao skillfully used the scripture her uncle said yesterday to fight back: "Not only Teacher Yao, but even if it's you, me, or anyone else, being forced to publicly confess like this, no one can stand it, right? Who dares to say that they are flawless?"

Yu Luying looked at him in surprise, lowered her head, and walked with her eyes on the tip of her shoes: "Xiao Yao, you are right. In Buddhist terms, you have wisdom."

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was flattered.

The two arrived at the door of "War Film City". Xiao Yao took the lead in lifting the door curtain and walked in. Then he kept the door curtain open and waited for Yu Luying to come in before putting it down.

"Who taught you that?" Yu Luying clenched her fists and asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Xiao Yao was stunned, then he understood what Yu Luying meant.

"Hello, what movies are on now?" Yu Luying walked to the counter of War Film City and looked up at the screening schedule.

"There are 'Beautiful Magic City' at 8:25 and 'Troy' at 8:40. These are the only two shows that are relatively close." The staff member in a small suit uniform looked at the filming schedule.

Xiao Yao was thinking, Shen Jie seemed to want to watch "Troy", right? In order to avoid watching a movie twice, it seems better to watch "Beautiful Magic City", not to mention...

"How about..." Xiao Yao said tentatively.

"'Beautiful Magic City'?" Then, the two people said in unison.

The two smiled at each other and exchanged the tickets without further explanation.

"We still have that tacit understanding." Xiao Yao said this when he went to buy popcorn.

As expected, Yu Luying did not act arrogantly or complain, but just nodded obediently.

...I'm still a little bit unaccustomed to it.

When Xiao Yao went to buy popcorn and Pepsi cups, Yu Luying did not rush to pay the bill.

"It's so annoying that they don't even sell Coca-Cola."

"Well, it's just a Coke, but you make it sound like you're tasting wine."

"Don't look down on Coke..."

The two checked their tickets, entered the venue, found their seats and sat down.

I don’t know if it was because the movie was unpopular or because the time slot was wrong, but there weren’t many people in the screening room.

Xiao Yao placed the popcorn bucket on the armrest in the middle of the seat.

"This is my first time watching a movie with a girl." Xiao Yao said casually.

"Me too."

"?"

"With boys." Yu Luying explained.

"Oh."

The movie hadn't started yet. Xiao Yao turned his head to glance at Yu Luying, feeling a subtle feeling in his heart.

Yu Luying also turned her head to look at him: "What are you thinking about?"

"Well... Actually, I rarely watch movies... I go to the cinema to watch movies. Obviously, I can watch them on TV or computer... I don't know why I spend dozens of dollars to go to the cinema."

"..."

"I went to the theater to watch movies several times in elementary and junior high school. They were all organized by the school. After coming to Shanghai, I only went a few times during the winter vacation when the school gave out coupons..." Xiao Yao suddenly felt stupid and closed his mouth again.

Yu Luying just chuckled.

After the movie started, Xiao Yao unexpectedly found that the movie was really...too ugly.

This is not a local romance film at all, but a family ethics art film.

The film is called "Beautiful Magic City", but in fact it is neither "beautiful" nor "Magic City" - the actors in the film all have accents from all over the world, and it is really difficult for them to force themselves to learn Mandarin with the Magic City accent.

"Ma Yuanzheng is really a professional at playing domestic violence men, huh?" Xiao Yao commented in a low voice.

"Yeah." Yu Luying looked straight ahead, her body tense.

She could have just leaned back and relaxed in her seat, but she sat as if she were in class.

The reflection from the screen cast her face into a gloomy blue-white.

Xiao Yao picked up a handful of popcorn and stretched out his open palm.

Yu Luying tilted her head like a little bird, sucked a grain of popcorn into her mouth and ate it, then tilted her head and sipped it again...

???????

Xiao Yao was a little confused.

Feeling his lips lightly touching the wetness of his palms, his tongue could not only taste the sweet scent of popcorn, but also the salty sweat of his own palms.

Why are you so skilled? !

……

In the movie, the single mother found two condoms from the trouser pocket of her precious daughter who was in college.

"Shit." Xiao Yao commented.

"Pa!" Grandma reached out and slapped the little girl, and Xiao Yao's face twitched subconsciously.

He reached for the popcorn, but instead touched something soft and cool.

Pretending nothing had happened, Xiao Yao withdrew his hand and glanced at the popcorn bucket. A small hand was taking the popcorn away.

Xiao Yao caught a faint sob, and two streams of liquid burst out of his eyes, but he reached out his hand but felt nothing. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a clear tear passing by, illuminating a few shallow acne marks on Yu Luying's cheek, and falling into the shallow bay at the corner of her mouth. Then two, three, and more tears followed, and the tears merged into a trickle.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yao was panicked.

"It's okay, don't talk while watching the movie." Yu Luying wiped her face.

Xiao Yao didn't understand what was so touching about this movie. He just felt more and more bored the more he watched it. His eyelids became heavier and heavier. He wondered if he didn't sleep well the previous night.

He leaned back, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink.

……

"There's no Easter egg in the back!" Xiao Yao heard a female voice shouting. He opened his eyes and saw that the theater was already brightly lit.

The person who was shouting was the cleaning lady, but her head was resting on Yu Luying's left shoulder.

He jumped up like a spring, and Yu Luying also stood up slowly with a flushed face.

"I'm sorry, I'm not..."

"Let's go." Yu Luying said softly.

As the sparse crowd walked out, the girl walked in front as if nothing had happened.

"Is this movie okay?" Xiao Yao was trying to find something to say.

"You slept well, didn't you?" Yu Luying said with a smile.

"Yeah, not bad." Xiao Yao laughed awkwardly.

"I think the values of this movie are quite distorted," said Yu Luying. "Ma Yuanzheng went out to play mahjong and gamble and threatened to beat his wife. Everyone in his family said that his wife was not good, even his sister who came back from the United States said so."

"I think this family is the target of ridicule. What's the beautiful magic city..." Xiao Yao put the emphasis on the word "beautiful": "By the way, why were you crying just now? Is there anything touching?"

As they were talking, the two arrived at the entrance of "War Shadow City".

It was a sunny day when I came in, but it was raining now. Unlike the sudden rain in summer that makes people stay away, the fine rain in front of me weaves into a soft and dense rain curtain in the night, and then falls quietly on the ground without any trace, giving people the illusion that it is unnecessary to hold an umbrella, but if you rush in rashly, you will know its power in a moment.

"I can understand the mother's feelings," Yu Luying reached out to touch the rain curtain, and Xiao Yao felt a cool and wet feeling on his fingertips: "She said that her daughter was her only hope of survival. I can't imagine how she would face the rest of her life after finding that thing in her daughter's trouser pocket..."

"Yeah..." Xiao Yao thought of the PLAYBOY that Ah Fei threw to him when he was looking for Shen Jie at "Shui Mu Nian Hua" that day (he realized what it was later).

Why does Shen Jie’s circle of friends intersect with people who carry “that kind of thing” with them?

"So, I understand my mother's nervousness about me." Yu Luying smiled sadly: "But my mother should have more confidence in me. She shouldn't distrust me so much."

"..." Xiao Yao didn't know how to respond, so he just listened quietly.

"Xiao Yao, you are right." After about a minute of silence, the girl suddenly said, "You are a wise person."

"What?" Xiao Yao was a little flattered: "You're flattering me too much."

"I'm talking about Teacher Yao. Actually, he's also very depressed, right? He was originally a person with ideals and aspirations... In fact, the experience in the school in the mirror... Teacher Yao's philosophy has more or less changed my mind. It's about free expression." Yu Luying looked up at Xiao Yao: "I took the initiative to ask you out, and in front of everyone, you must be surprised, right?"

Xiao Yao didn't say anything, just nodded heavily.

"Because I also want to break free from my mother's constraints, break through myself, not care about other people's opinions, and do what I want freely." Yu Luying said this as if she had made up her mind.

"Like this..." Xiao Yao had a bad premonition - actually, it should be said to be a good premonition - which made his heart pound.

"Actually, I was really happy when I was at the Parent-Child Education Center," Yu Luying lowered her head, "When you and Shen Jie called me, I was really reluctant at first, I really didn't want to wake up..."

"I'm sorry..." Xiao Yao said apologetically.

If it weren't for Miss Shen, who never does housework, breaking the plate...

"I should be the one to say sorry... You should know roughly why I have been avoiding you before." Yu Luying forced herself to look up at Xiao Yao's face: "Dad left after all, it is better to face this fact instead of denying it.

“I was supposed to be there for my mom, but I didn’t want to follow her baton anymore.

"Because if that happens, you'll lose other important people."

"I..." Xiao Yao swallowed hard.

"I, when I found out you were with Shen Jie, I felt sad." Yu Luying forced a smile, "I know I have no right to feel sad. I know it was me who pushed you away, and I feel uncomfortable if you really leave me. This is very BI... Woo."

Xiao Yao reached out and pinched his upper and lower lips: "I don't allow you to say that about yourself." Then he let go: "Okay, go on."

"Later, after I knew you and Shen Jie broke up, I knew you must be very sad, but I... I was actually a little happy in my heart. I really hate myself like this..." Yu Luying really couldn't hold it anymore, she lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes again.

"Break up? Who told you?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

"I won't tell you." She closed her eyes and her body tensed.

It could be Ouyang Qianqian or Xiao Xiong, who else could it be? It couldn't be Shen Jie herself, right?

"I don't want to ask who you talked to on the phone last night until your ears got hot, nor do I want to ask who you hugged after the call." Yu Luying said in one breath: "I... I feel that I can't do more than ask you out and say these words to you in person. You can handle the rest by yourself!"

Xiao Yao knew that for Yu Luying, saying these words had already used up all her courage, and she really couldn't ask for more.

Of course he also understood the weight of what she said.

The girl he had dreamed of and pursued for almost a year was standing in front of him and confessed to him.

All he had to do was reach out and hold her, and that’s how the story began.

Xiao Yao subconsciously stretched out his hand.

"See you next time, dad." The words Shen Jie said to him when she got into the taxi that night suddenly flashed back before his eyes.

Xiao Yao retracted his hand.

"YES, I DO." This is what I said to Shen Jie when I was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

"Shen Jie, I like you."

"Xiao Yao, let's take it slow... okay?"

"Thank you for bringing my mom here."

Countless chaotic words came flooding in, making his head a mess.
