You are my wife, don't doubt it!

Those homeless people looked at him straight with gloomy faces.

Xiao Yao was startled, and a shield and a sword appeared in his hands.

Hmm, the mastery of the "spiritual fortress" seems to be more... "fluent"?

Fortunately, the homeless people just looked at him and did not attack.

Xiao Yao slowly stepped back, then used the tip of his sword to pry open the windproof door and walked out of the bridge tunnel.

He saw that the sidewalks on both sides of the street were full of pedestrians and there was a constant stream of cars on the fast lane.

Not to mention that it is 12 o'clock midnight, even if it is 12 o'clock noon, Xiao Yao has never seen such a large crowd of people on Dongdaming Road.

He walked slowly, observing the huge hall.

As he walked, the worn armor on his body made a harsh metallic collision sound, which was the source of Xiao Yao's sense of security at the moment.

Everyone was in a hurry, hunched over, with numb and sad expressions on their faces and empty eyes.

Some carried briefcases under their arms, while others carried thick backpacks that were bulging as if they were filled with bricks.

When passing by them, these people would also glance at Xiao Yao, and then continue to whisper and walk away in a hurry.

Xiao Yao heard the crowd's whispers gradually getting louder, almost drowning out the sound of his own armor, so he began to seriously consider retreating first.

After all, going alone into an unfamiliar temple is simply courting death.

It's unlikely that Shen Jie would stay in such a place for long, right?

Then, he saw Shen Jie.

To be exact, he couldn't be sure, but the back view looked very similar.

A women's shirt tied at the waist, twin ponytails, small leather boots, the way she walks, and her height that seems like that of a junior high school student.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to shout loudly, but just chased after him quickly.

The dozens of kilograms of armor pressing on his body made it difficult for him to walk fast.

Xiao Yao wanted to take off his armor, but he didn't know how to do it.

What happened to the promised “send and receive freely”?

"Wait a minute!" He couldn't help but shout out: "Shen Jie!"

The girl who looked like Shen Jie turned around and entered the subway entrance.

Xiao Yao struggled for two seconds and decided to follow.

There was no need to wonder why the subway was still open at this time, nor to think about why there were more people in the subway than on the street. Xiao Yao just followed the girl closely, trying to catch up with her.

I want to run, but I can't.

Fortunately, the crowded flow of people did not hinder his movements - because he found that he would not have a volume collision with them and could just pass through them.

However, his vision was still blocked and Xiao Yao was about to lose him.

The girl walked to the subway ticket gate and looked down for something, maybe a bus card?

"Shen Jie!" Xiao Yao reached out and gently patted her back with his shield.

Xiao Yao felt the force feedback from his hand, and sure enough, this was not an illusion.

The girl turned around, and Xiao Yao was so shocked that he took three steps back.

"oops!"

There is no face on “Shen Jie’s” face.

"Big brother, do you want to buy flowers?" The faceless man spoke in a baby voice, which was certainly not Shen Jie's voice.

"flower……"

Only then did Xiao Yao notice that the faceless man was holding a large basket of flowers.

"No, don't bother..." Xiao Yao took two steps back, ready to run away.

"Big brother, you can give it to your girlfriend. The beautiful sister will definitely like it." The faceless man continued to sell.

"The beautiful sister had a quarrel with the big brother and ran away. The big brother has been looking for her all night," Xiao Yao said, "Do you know where she went?"

"I don't know." The faceless man shook his head: "Maybe the elder sister will wait for her brother at the agreed place?"

The agreed place...? Xiao Yao lowered his head and thought for a moment.

When he raised his head again, the faceless man had disappeared.

……

Xiao Yao returned the same way, left the subway, went back to the bridge tunnel, and emerged from the mirror.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

After getting rid of the green filter, Xiao Yao felt that his eyes felt much better.

Without the weight of his armor, he felt as if he could fly.

A homeless man heard the noise, stuck his head out from under the blanket, looked, and then shrank back again.

When Xiao Yao returned home, Shen Tianyun was already asleep in her bed.

He gently pushed his daughter's legs, which were tilted under the edge of the bed, in and covered her with a blanket.

Shen Jie's ID card was placed on the dining table by Yu Luying, and Xiao Yao picked it up to look at it.

The Shen Jie in the photo looks like her, but she doesn’t quite resemble her.

A little dark, a little greasy, and looks a little silly.

How old was this?

But it's still so cute.

Xiao Yao suddenly wanted to bite her.

He turned around a few times, thought about it, and hesitated for a long time, before finally climbing onto his bed, stepping over Shen Tianyun, and sleeping inside with his face facing the wall.

That night he had recurring nightmares, all of which were about that strange green world and the faceless man.

When I woke up in the morning, there was no one around me.

Shen Tianyun was not in the room, and no one knew where she had gone.

"Maybe, big sister will wait for brother at the agreed place?"

This afternoon, the big dark cinema, "Troy", right?

It's just past 11 o'clock now, so there's plenty of time... Well, I'd better hurry up.

Xiao Yao went out and walked to the repair shop - he was very happy to see that his bicycle had not been taken away by anyone.

After repairing the tire, Xiao Yao rode his bike directly on the road, leaving the matter of lunch to Yu Luying.

When passing the subway station in front of the bridge tunnel yesterday, Xiao Yao slowed down the car.

Then he stopped in front of the little girl selling flowers in front of the subway station.

Her cheeks were dark with a hint of blush, but she exuded a spirit of spirituality from the inside out.

"Would you like to buy some flowers?" the girl asked with a smile.

This flower, this figure, it's definitely her.

"Here, this... this, take a little of each, but don't take the rose." Xiao Yao took out a hundred-dollar bill: "Please wrap it up for me, thank you."

It was just past one o'clock when he arrived at the Big Dark Cinema, and by the time he found a place to park, it was almost a dozen.

The Big Dark Cinema is less than one kilometer away from the War Movie City, both within the People's Park business district. It is a well-known old cinema.

Today is Sunday, and among the bustling crowd, there are many men and women who look about the same age as me.

But every time I see a similar figure, I am disappointed when I get close to him.

Xiao Yao turned around several times, and his heart gradually sank.

Suddenly, amid the noise, Xiao Yao saw a petite girl curled up on a seat in the most remote corner.

The girl's hair was a little oily, her face was somewhat dirty, her clothes looked half wet, and she was wearing a pair of small leather boots.

Simply put, she looks a bit like a down-and-out stray cat, but the girl's lazy posture is elegant and calm, like a ragdoll cat basking in the sun.

The puppet is now looking at him with its big eyes, its expression full of curiosity and amusement.

Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

--split line--

"Morning, good morning." Xiao Yao greeted naturally.

"You're here." Shen Jie looked at him with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "I've been watching you turn around for a long time like a fool."

A month ago, I first met this girl at the No. 7 Girls' High School in the city. At that time, she was so energetic and high-spirited. But now she was sitting on the awkward throne, forcibly supporting her tattered self-esteem.

Xiao Yao was a little unsure for a moment whether he had the right to feel sorry for her.

So, she shouldn't kick me with her legs raised high again today?

Xiao Yao opened his mouth several times, but the words in his heart were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

Where did you spend last night?

Were you caught in the rain?

Are you still angry?

I've been looking for you.

"Flowers." In the end, Xiao Yao only said this one word.

"Take money from me to buy flowers for me," Shen Jie complained, but her tone was quite cheerful: "Who gave you the courage to choose Qiangwei? The profiteer of the flower shop or the traitor Shen Tianyun?"

“Neither,” the knowledge that didn’t belong to me came to my tongue: “The rose represents a beautiful, refined, gentle yet strong woman. The spirit of the rose is like a beautiful and elegant woman, but the branches have sharp thorns, implying that there is a heart that refuses to give up under the beautiful appearance. I think it fits very well—”

"Okay, stop carrying it," Shen Jie stood up, straightened her messy clothes, held the bouquet in both hands and took a deep sniff: "Now that things have come to this, let's go to the movies first. I've bought the tickets."

"Ah? Are you really going to see the beautiful Magic City? No, let's go to Troy, shall we?"

The experience of watching "Beautiful City" is like being in prison.

First of all, it's not pretty.

Secondly, this is my second watch.

The most important thing is that the girl next to me neither smiled nor ate. She just stared at the screen.

After an hour and a half of feeling extremely uncomfortable, Xiao Yao finally walked out of the "great darkness" and embraced the light.

"This daughter is really a worry, isn't she?" Shen Jie said.

"Oh, yes. But our Yunyun——"

"Your Yingying likes this kind of movie?" Shen Jie interrupted him and narrowed her eyes.

"Our Yingying——" Xiao Yao was fooled, his mouth was drooping, and then he felt pain in his arm, and turned around hurriedly: "No, I made a slip of the tongue..."

Another palm came with the sound of wind.

"No! I was wrong!"

A couple stopped at the entrance of the cinema and watched curiously.

"Wow, so heroic...Live version of "My Sassy Girl"? " the boy exclaimed.

"If you're envious, I can help you." The girl said with a smile.

"No, thank you."

……

"Where are you going?" Shen Jie rubbed her aching right hand: "The subway station is over there."

"I'm not taking the subway today," Xiao Yao said. "I rode my bike and parked it in the shed over there."

"Ah? A bicycle?"
