You are my wife, don't doubt it!

"Tsk..." Xiao Yao wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

"Then I came back from Australia and he went to Germany again."

"what."

"When he came back from Germany, we hadn't even started planning our wedding yet," Shen Jie stared blankly ahead, "he was in a car accident and died."

!! ?

Xiao Yao shuddered all over, and immediately thought of the dream he had had repeatedly in the past month: "Did he push you out, and then he died, and you survived?"

"Hmm..." Shen Jie looked at him strangely: "You know this too?"

"I just guessed..." Xiao Yao was actually a little unsure, but at least in his dream, that's what he did.

"Yeah." The girl nodded slightly.

Xiao Yao suddenly felt that it was really relaxing for two people to lie together and chat like this, even if they were talking about topics that were not very relaxing.

"As for my acquaintance with you, that was many years later..."

"You don't really hate him, do you?" Xiao Yao suddenly interrupted her: "Especially after knowing what he will do for you in the future."

"Who?" Shen Jie was startled: "Zhang Zhengkai?"

"Nothing, just chatting, haha."

"I rarely really hate someone." Shen Jie seemed to be choosing her words: "My mother always taught me to treat others with the greatest kindness possible and to discover the good qualities of others."

"It's pretty good." Xiao Yao said sincerely.

"But, from my heart, I really hate Zhang Zhengkai."

"Uh..." Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand and drew three black lines near his temple.

"No matter what, for you, for Tianyun, and for Zhang Zhengkai himself, I must draw a clear line between me and him this time." Shen Jie clenched her fists: "For the good of all of us."

"..." Xiao Yao felt that he had no right to object, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

He reached out and pinched Shen Jie's small hand, but the latter did not dodge or push away.

"If Shen Tianyun hadn't come, we wouldn't have met," Shen Jie said softly, "Then I might have agreed to my father's marriage proposal and helped the company through the difficulties. And you might have also pursued Yu Luying at this time, but because of me..."

That’s not necessarily the case, Xiao Yaosi said.

Shen Tianyun once told herself that she had been single since she was 30 years old until she was years old. That is to say, in the original timeline, she did not succeed in pursuing Yu Luying.

If they had not experienced all the things together in Teacher Yao's hall, Yu Luying would definitely not face her own heart, pursue him, or accept his pursuit.

However, is there any causal connection between these great adventures and Shen Tianyun’s arrival?

Was the "Zhang Zhengkai" that appeared in the mirror in the corridor just now an illusion or another "shadow"?

In fact, we cannot be sure that it was Zhang Zhengkai.

"But let's just leave it at that." Xiao Yao pretended to be relaxed and said, "We both made sacrifices, so we're even?"

"Although I know you are probably joking, I still feel a little unhappy when I hear you say that." Shen Jie frowned quietly in the dark: "Although I can't explain it..."

"No matter what, we are here now." Xiao Yao omitted the word "lying": "Let's just get along well."

"Yeah." The girl responded through her nose.

"I will treat you well, and please try to treat me well... be nicer to me."

"…I'll adapt."

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao was not satisfied with this ambiguous answer: "Be nice to me, okay?"

"I promise you."

Xiao Yao was satisfied.

"Wife." He called again a few minutes later.

The only answer he got was a slight snoring.

Xiao Yao bravely moved forward and pecked the girl on the cheek.

So soft...

He turned around, stood back to back with Shen Jie, touched her lips, and clenched the corner of the quilt with a sweet feeling: "Good night."

In the east, the first hint of dawn appeared.

--split line--

Xiao Yao got up after lying down for just over an hour, and ran to the breakfast shop outside the "Rongfu Hotel" to buy two taels of Shengjian and a bowl of tofu pudding, which he packed up and put on the bedside table next to Shen Jie.

Of course, he also ate his fill at the stall first.

Xiao Yao felt very happy when he imagined Shen Jie's expression when she woke up and saw the breakfast he bought.

Before leaving, Xiao Yao secretly kissed Shen Jie on the forehead again.

Instead of going straight to school, he went to the church opposite the school first.

Father Yu was saying morning mass, but Yu Luying was not there.

When Xiao Yao entered, the Mass was already halfway through. After waiting for about ten minutes, Father Yu announced that "the Mass is over."

"What's the matter?" Father Yu changed out of his chasuble and walked out of the dressing room: "Are you going to be late for school?"

"Right," Xiao Yao said hurriedly, "To make a long story short, I stumbled into a new temple by accident on Saturday night."

"Oh? Come to my office and tell me in detail." Father Yu raised his eyebrows and took Xiao Yao from the church to his office.

Xiao Yao briefly described everything he experienced on Saturday night.

"I'm not sure," Father Yu frowned, "but it could be the collective subconscious."

"Collective subconscious? What is that?" Xiao Yao was totally confused.

"This is a concept proposed by psychologist Jung, also known as the collective unconscious." Father Yu thought for a moment and said, "How should I explain it to you?"

"How about, let's make it short?" Xiao Yao looked at the time on his phone and suggested.

"I'm not a psychology major either. To put it simply," Father Yu explained, "the reason why your teacher Yao's soul has formed a temple is because his desires are too distorted. Not everyone has a temple. The place you mistakenly entered the day before yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, is the so-called 'Temple of the People'."

"The hall of the people?" Xiao Yao repeated.

“You can read a book called The Crowd.”

""mob"?"

"When people are in a group, they are easily swept up by the crowd, which is the so-called 'public opinion'." Father Yu said: "In this collective frenzy, a person who was originally kind and gentle may unknowingly become bloodthirsty and cruel, but he has no self-awareness and only thinks that he represents justice."

"I dare not say that I understand," Xiao Yao said, "but I feel as if I understand."

"In the past, there were witch hunts in European history," Father Yu said. "In the near future, there are cyberbullying on the Internet and group bullying on campus... These are all manifestations of the group's subconsciousness."

When he heard the word "school bullying", Xiao Yao frowned.

Suddenly, the school loudspeaker opposite the church began playing "March of the Athletes".

"You should leave." Father Yu reminded when he heard the music.

"Damn, it's over!" Xiao Yao rushed out of the church without saying a word.

……

In the end, my name was still remembered by the student union cadres at the school gate.

--split line--

"How was it? Did you sleep afterwards?" Daiyu asked in a low voice while giving a speech under the national flag.

"Go to sleep." Xiao Yao said sleepily.

"Is it true?" Hairtail raised his voice a little.

"Keep your voice down, I mean sleep, not sleep."

"Tsk, I knew you couldn't do it," said Hairtail with contempt, "worse than an animal."

"You can't eat meat buns in a hurry. Sleeping together can be considered as the sublimation of our relationship. I am already very satisfied." Xiao Yao thought about it and gently pinched the hairtail: "Don't tell anyone outside."

Although he had given many instructions last night, Xiao Yao was still worried.

At this time, Zhang Jialong glanced at the two of them silently.

"Don't worry." Hairtail lowered his voice and patted his chest: "Am I an Inner Race?"

That's hard to say, Xiao Yao thought. Discussing tactics with this guy last night might not have been a wise choice.

"Students below, please stop whispering to each other!" said the principal.

Xiao Yao believed that he had fallen in love.

At least, he was relatively successful in convincing himself that he was in love.

The past cannot be retrieved, so it is better to cherish what you have now and look to the future. This is Xiao Yao's philosophy of life.

Anyway, Shen Jie and himself were, tentatively speaking, running towards each other for the first time in their lives. This was a completely new version that he had never experienced before.

Xiao Yao tried his best not to look at Yu Luying - why did she cut her hair? She was the girl with the longest hair in the class, and it would probably grow to her waist in two years, but today it was much shorter, and she tied her hair in a high ponytail.

The spirit is quite spirited...but...

Xiao Yao likes her long hair.

The little man in white clothes paced and pondered, "When a girl suddenly changes her hairstyle, it usually means that she has changed her attitude towards certain things."

"When a woman suddenly cuts her long hair, she either exchanges it for money or her life. Just stay away." The little man in red clothes picked up a strand of Xiao Yao's hair with a fork, rolled it up like noodles, and then pulled it hard...

Damn!

Xiao Yao suppressed the feeling of loss in his heart.

Unfortunately, the school does not allow shaving heads, and Shen Jie is still waiting for me to perm her hair during the summer vacation.

Yes, Shen Jie.

During class, Xiao Yao opened his small notebook and wrote these two words on it with a black gel pen.

Three drops of water, a treasure cover, a left stroke, a right stroke and a right hook.

Next to a female character, on the right is...

"Jie".

Xiao Yao opened the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" and found the word.

Jie

〔～妤〕

The name of a female official in the imperial court during the Han Dynasty of China. This title was retained from the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Ming Dynasty. [1]

"Historical Records: The Family of Foreign Relatives": "During the reign of Emperor Wu, he favored his wife, Concubine Yin."

"Old Book of Tang·Biography of Xu Jian": "Jian's eldest aunt was a concubine of Emperor Taizong, and his second aunt was a concubine of Emperor Gaozong. They were both talented in writing."

Ming Chen Jing's "Double Pearls: The Lost Pearl Enters the Palace" says: "She is good at shaping the style of the imperial concubines, and she is talented and eloquent in formulating the principles of the imperial concubines."[2]

Jieyu

The name of the female official in the ancient palace, and the title of concubines.

……

Xiao Yao stroked the word "婕" in the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" and felt that it contained infinite magic.

He wrote the name over and over again.

He felt that he was missing her and longing for her.

A post-80s writer whom he admired once wrote: "Holding a book in my hands is as reassuring as seeing a woman lying in my own bed."

Whether the bed in Rongfu Hotel can be considered as one's own bed is very debatable. In any case, it is impossible to feel at ease there.

He missed her, he admired her, he wanted to see her.

After all, if he didn't love her enough, he would be sorry for her and for Zhang Zhengkai.

Damn it, why did you think of Zhang Zhengkai? What has he got to do with you?

Xiao Yao took out his cell phone. It was almost lunch time, but Shen Jie still hadn't replied to his text message.
