Night shrouded this steel forest full of desire, and the flickering lights of thousands of homes made the light of the stars and moon disappear. On the elevated Outer Ring Road, a Santana taxi sped at a speed of 100 yards per hour.

In the back seat of the taxi, a teenager is whispering text messages, and next to him sits a girl in a blanket.

The girl put her two bare little feet on the leather sofa, her hands on her knees, and her whole body was turned outward.

She looked out the window with a blank expression.

"What you threw is really not my take, I promise it to your Jesus Christ."

The text message was sent for a minute, and I didn't receive a prompt of "the other party has received", which means that I was most likely blocked.

Xiao Yao closed his phone irritably and turned to the girl beside him.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao said, "what happened just now." ”

"Hmm."

"That woman, Zhou Qi, is the one I told you in the afternoon, because others isolated me, they ignored me. I didn't expect her to be more and more ...... now"

Shen Jie didn't speak, but her shoulders shook slightly.

"Are you still cold?"

"Hmm." The girl snorted through her nose.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pulled you to play that." Xiao Yao said.

"You always say that after the fact."

"What did you say?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Nothing."

"Are you mad at me?" Xiao Yao realized that it was not Yu Luying who needed to be appeased now.

"Nope." Shen Jie shook her body and flicked the hand that was on her back away.

“…… Don't be angry, it's all my fault. ”

"I'm not angry, I'm just a little tired."

The congealed air seemed to be difficult to dissolve for a while, and Xiao Yao gave up.

He closed his eyes and recuperated, but he couldn't sleep.

"Xiao Yao," I don't know how long it took, Shen Jie suddenly spoke: "You really let go of Yu Luying?" ”

Xiao Yao was stunned, but he didn't expect Shen Jie to suddenly ask: "Yes, yes." ”

"Are you the kind of person who will give up?"

"It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not, it's that kind of ......" Xiao Yao said slowly while thinking, "You always have to respect the girl's own wishes, right?" ”

"Xiao Yao." Shen Jie turned around and stared at Xiao Yao: "I'll give you another chance,"

"What, what chance?" Seeing Shen Jie's serious expression, a bit like what he had done to Zhou Qi just now, Xiao Yao couldn't help but get nervous.

"What do I ask, what do you answer, you have to tell the truth, otherwise I won't be friends with you, do you understand?"

What's going on with this oppressive aura? How did she seem to be a different person? Xiao Yao nodded with difficulty.

Shen Jie said meaningfully: "I actually know a little bit about your entanglements - don't ask me where I heard it, I just want to hear you tell the truth." ”

The air was dead silent.

"After the first confession was rejected, I pestered her for a while," Xiao Yao swallowed the saliva in his mouth: "Because she refused to talk to me directly, I don't think it's enough, so I want to make it clear to her, and I think we can still be friends...... Later, the priest from the church across the street from our school was very enthusiastic to help us with the 'mediation' ......"

The corners of Shen Jie's mouth rose slightly: "The priest still cares about this, and he is not an old uncle." ”

"Well, it's really hers...... The little lady is here. ”

(Note: In the Modu dialect, maternal uncle = uncle)

Shen Jie turned her face to look out the window before she couldn't help laughing, and when she turned around, she already had a serious face.

"Why did she reject you?"

"How do I know that? You should ask Yu Luying. Anyway, it's all your girls' twists and turns......" Speaking of this, Xiao Yao was still a little indignant.

"Not knowing, and not admitting it, are two different things." Shen Jie raised her chin slightly: "Does your so-called confession really leave people a choice?" ”

How does she seem to know everything? Xiao Yao panicked.

But it's not a secret that what I'm doing, and continuing to pretend to be stupid will only mess up the existing relationship, let's be honest: "Maybe, I listened to the bad idea of that bastard of Little Bear at the time, and ordered a song for her on the campus radio station......"

Shen Jie's surprise didn't seem to be fake: "Our Love"? ”

"What our love?" Xiao Yao said inexplicably: "Song? "Model Love Letters". ”

"Oh...... I haven't heard of it," Shen Jie leaned back on the sofa: "However, I really feel sorry for your friend named Little Bear."

One last question—"

"......" Xiao Yao closed his mouth, this time he didn't plan to say a single superfluous word.

Shen Jie put her feet down from the sofa and showed an interesting expression: "You, you prefer women's ...... Intimate clothing? ”

The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror.

"Poof—absolutely not! No! There is no such perverted hobby! Xiao Yao instantly put the decision to shut his mouth tightly behind him.

"Did you take away her ...... because you liked Yu Luying?"

“no。” Xiao Yao looked at the back of the chair in the front row and replied from the bottom of his face.

"I think it's all in the past, you're still young, and it's not a big mistake that can't be forgiven. Just, based on ...... The future that Shen Tianyun said, I hope you don't lie to me. Shen Jie was kind and seductive.

Xiao Yao knew what this familiar feeling was all about: Shen Jie's way of speaking now was exactly the same as when his mother was there, and the female homeroom teacher in elementary school.

“NO！” Xiao Yao was a little angry, turned his face to stare at Shen Jie's eyes, and his breathing became heavy.

Shen Jie lowered her head and did not speak again. Half-bright and half-dark, Xiao Yao couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I don't know how to prove it," Finally, Xiao Yao recovered from his tense state: "But I beg you, give me your trust." ”

This sentence was said very non-colloquially, but Shen Jie nodded lightly. When she looked up again, the homeroom teacher-like mask was gone, replaced by the girl's usual smile.

"I believe in you." Shen Jie announced her ruling.

"Thank you."

"By the way, Yu Luying actually likes you."

The subject shifted a bit...... It's too jumpy.

"What do you mean? Didn't you say before—"

"Before it was," Shen Jie analyzed: "A girl, or a girl with such an introverted personality, was broadcast and confessed by you in public, and was stalked by you, and finally was willing to be friends with you, there are only two possibilities, the first is that she wants to hang you as a spare tire." ”

"She's not that kind of person." Xiao Yao said confidently.

"I agree," Shen Jie raised her chin, "So." ”

"Then why did she keep ......"

"Don't ask me about this," Shen Jie said with a smile: "Anyway, in this world, people who like you may not agree to you, and people who promise you may not like you, and marriage is the same-"

"I said you," Xiao Yao interrupted her: "Haven't you never been in love, how to analyze it one by one, this tone is about to catch up with my godsister." ”

"Hee-san, small shelf. (Sir, Miss)" The driver turned around: "A small turn in front? ”

"That's right, that's right," Xiao Yao realized that at some point, there was already a familiar street scene around: "Turn around here...... Then pull over and you're good to go. ”

The taxi pulled over smoothly.

"Then ......" Xiao Yao didn't seem to have the intention of getting out of the car.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to accompany you home? Shen Jie's eyes rolled.

"Well, no, I'm trying to say, when will we ...... next time"

"Next time, let's make an appointment next time I call."

"Well, that's ......"

The taxi driver was already looking back impatiently, and Xiao Yao opened the door and got out of the car. He was about to turn around and close the car door, but saw Shen Jie get out of the car from the other side.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"I suddenly felt hungry," Shen Jie wore plastic slippers bought in the park on her feet, and smiled on her face: "I'll accompany you back home." ”

Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then guessed Shen Jie's intentions.

He happily took Shen Jie home.

Grandma didn't seem to be there, leaving stew on the gas stove.

Luckily, Shen Tianyun was at home. She lay on her cot, snoring softly, as if she had slept all day.

Shen Jie changed into Shen Tianyun's clothes - a green T-shirt and beige pants. It's not too fitty, and it's loose on the body, but it's better than wearing it semi-wet and not dry.

"Shen Tianyun, why did you go last night?!" While eating, Shen Jie asked with a displeased expression.

"Didn't you do anything...... If you don't stay at home, won't I just take a nap and sleep longer? Shen Tianyun rubbed his eyes and said, "I don't believe you asked my dad!" ”

"Oh, this-" Xiao Yao saw Shen Tianyun wink at him.

"Don't talk!" Shen Jie forcibly interrupted Xiao Yao: "After eating, you go to Yu Luying's house and explain it to others." ”

"I'll talk to her in class the day after tomorrow." Xiao Yao actually had this intention, but he didn't want to be too active in front of Shen Jie.

"......" Shen Jie cast a glance at Xiao Yao.

"Ah, yes, yes, I'll go now, I can't delay this." Xiao Yao put the bowl down and stood up: "You two talk well, don't quarrel." ”

Xiao Yao walked towards Yu Luying's house with his slippers on his feet, pondering what happened today in his mind as he walked.

Coincidentally, as soon as he walked to Yu Luying's door, he saw the door of her house open.

Then, Yu Luying walked out with the spittoon.

"Yu Luying!" Xiao Yao shouted.

Yu Luying's whole body was smart, and she turned around and was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Xiao Yao.

"Put!" Yu Luying pulled her hand back hard.

"Listen to me, I didn't take your underwear," Xiao Yao said eagerly, "I swear to your God." ”

"Put!" Yu Luying was angry and kicked Xiao Yao hard.

Xiao Yao didn't care about the pain, but he saw Yu Luying "hiss" and bent down to touch his calf.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao asked with concern, but saw the girl looking at him with a strange expression.

Then, he kicked him harder again.

"What are you doing," Xiao Yao knew that it hurt this time: "I told you, I really didn't take it!" ——”

Yu Luying hugged her calves and squatted down.

At this moment, the door was opened again, and this time it was the "uncle" that Xiao Yao was most afraid of seeing.

"It's you again." Father Yu's lenses flashed white in the moonlight.
