Xiao Yao hurriedly walked down the road, and occasionally heard songs like "Today is your birthday, my ......" playing in the small shop on the side of the road, but it was clear that it had only been a few hours since his birthday, and now he felt a little blurry.

It rained for a while last night, and this morning the ground was wet and exceptionally cool, and the weather forecast said that the minimum temperature was only in the midteens Celsius.

If the weather forecast is to be believed, today will be the last cool day in the foreseeable future.

Mr. Yuan chose today as the day for the literature club to go out, at least the "time" has been accounted for.

Xiao Yao actually doesn't know much about Zhouzhuang, only that it is a typical Jiangnan water town, and then there is a "Shen Hall" there, which is the former residence of Shen Wansan, an investment ghost genius in the early Ming Dynasty (digression: Since he met Shen Jie, the word "Shen Hall" has inexplicably given him a sense of warmth at home).

In addition, he also knew that Zhouzhuang was a must-visit place for literati in the surrounding area, and in Tianyun's words, it was called "punching in", which was enough.

When I was in the first year of junior high school, I read "The Quadruple Gate", and the literary club in it went to Zhouzhuang, and Xiao Yao couldn't go there and longed for it.

The reason why he couldn't come was that he felt that it was insulting for him to come only as a tourist, and he had to bring his sister or come with his literary peers to show his coquettishness.

And now, this should be a double happiness superimposed, but because of ...... For various reasons, half of them are missing...... Well, optimistically, isn't there still half there?

I don't know if Song Haijian will make any other moves besides complaining to Yu Lihua, which is like a turbulent dark tide under the calm sea.

But this matter is not enough to worry about compared to the unpredictable "shadow time".

"Shadow Time" is nowhere to be found, as if it is a sword of Damocles hanging high above their heads, which will kill several of them at any time, but without any warning or warning.

The last time we worked together to get through the time, what about the next time?

When we are together, it is so hard to resist, what if we are fighting separately when we are apart?

Xiao Yao was a little afraid to think about it, and Yu Bo didn't give them clear guidance and answers.

Compared with the threat of Song Haijian and Ying Time, Xiao Yao still has a very painful problem, that is, he is very painful now.

As we all know, Xiao Yao has a cousin named Xiao Er, maybe he hugged others too tightly last night, so Xiao Er was very excited, and he made a lot of good things with his horsepower, ready to rush for love.

As a result, in the end, Xiao Yao said to Xiao Er, "It's just a hug", so the reaction of the good brother must be "That's it?" What the hell are you kidding me? ”

Then Xiao Er got angry and showed it to him.

What an uneasy cousin, Xiao Yao thought.

Perhaps, after that, you should let someone go to sleep in Tianyun's room, so that it will be better for yourself.

The bus from the Literary Society was parked in the middle of the road between St. Francis' Middle School and the church, and Xiao Yao didn't see Yu Bo, so he got on the bus directly.

There were already about twenty people in the car, about 80% of whom were girls, chattering.

It's pretty good to have two percent of boys now, unlike when I was in junior high school, he was the only male in the literary club.

It sounds like a male lion in a lion pack, an emperor in the harem, but in fact there is no use for any eggs.

Xiao Yao smiled and nodded to the boys and girls in these clubs, but they had a smirk on their faces, as if they had replied and as if they hadn't returned, and then turned their faces away to talk to others.

This made Xiao Yao realize and recall that in fact, his social situation in the literary club was limited compared to that of the class.

Xiao Yao found a back row where no one sat down, occupied two positions, sat down and waited.

Wait, why hasn't Yu Luying come yet? You're still 8 minutes away from driving, right?

Could it be that she was locked up at home by her mother and couldn't get out?

In that case, wouldn't it be ...... to rush to the boat village by yourself Foaming at the mouth again again?

If this is smoked in the car, I am afraid that it will die. Xiao Yao realized this and quickly got up, wanting to get out of the car first, and then contact Yu Luying or Yu Bo.

Then Yu Luying ...... and Zhao Xiaomei got in the car together.

Yu Luying is still wearing the same plain dress she wore before, very literary and artistic, wearing brown open-toe buckled small leather shoes, and barefoot without socks.

Zhao Xiaomei was wearing a floral blue denim jacket with a pink T-shirt underneath, a pair of aqua blue high-waisted denim trousers, white canvas shoes, and a large circle of white lace between the trouser legs and upper, I don't know if it was part of the pants or part of the socks.

Xiao Yao was just about to walk towards Yu Luying, but she sat directly next to Zhou Yao - this Zhou Yao was Yu Luying's tablemate in the class, and she was also a member of the Literature Club.

"Good morning, Xiao Yao." Zhao Xiaomei walked straight over and sat beside Xiao Yao loudly, the faint aroma of citrus and lilies lingering around her.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao was in a hurry for a while, and his tone was a little irritable.

"Xiao Yao, there's no one here, right?" Zhao Xiaomei didn't look angry at all, and smiled to reveal two cute little tiger teeth.

"Actually...... No. Xiao Yao forcibly squeezed out a smile: "Good morning, classmate Zhao." That, just now, I'm sorry. ”

It's not because he doesn't know how to refuse, it's really because he doesn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, Zhao Xiaomei came to help him celebrate his birthday yesterday, and he gave gifts and opened champagne, and secondly, Shen Tianyun told him in the morning that he disliked Zhao Xiaomei because she was not beautiful enough, and Xiao Yao was a little rebellious because of this, and wanted to refute her with practical actions.

Besides, didn't Shen Jie always say that she should be kind to those who are good to her?

Anyway, Yu Luying was also occupied by Zhou Yao, and she will find another way later.

Having said that, what is wrong with Zhao Xiaomei ...... beautiful? Shen Tianyun's vision is really high.

Thinking of this, his eyes unconsciously secretly looked at Zhao Xiaomei with his spare eyes.

Looking at her short chestnut hair from the side, her small dimples and slightly curved lips, her perfect apple muscles showed a white jade-like luster in the early morning sun, which was very sweet and lovely.

"Actually, there should be a lot of people who pursue Zhao Xiaomei, right?" I don't know why, Xiao Yao blurted out.

"In terms of quantity alone, it's really okay." Zhao Xiaomei smiled and showed the two little tiger teeth again: "It's a pity that they are all vulgar fans." ”

Vulgar fans are really novel to describe men, Xiao Yao thought. However, isn't the fattest person in this car himself?

He wanted to ask Zhao Xiaomei what he liked about him, and wanted to re-emphasize the fact that he already had a girlfriend with Zhao Xiaomei, but when he thought that the other party did not make a clear confession, it seemed strange that he was the first to say these bird words.

It's really sad, Xiao Yao thought.

"Only people like Xiao Yao can let Xiaomei run out to participate in school activities during the summer vacation." Zhao Xiaomei continued: "At yesterday's birthday party, Xiaomei also had a lot of fun. ”

Of course, Xiao Yao knew that Zhao Xiaomei ran over mostly for himself, but he didn't expect the other party to hit a straight ball like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to laugh dryly and pretend to look out the window.

In fact, having a girl who can do this for herself is a happy thing no matter what.

But I'm sorry you're late, and I'm embarrassed.

Wait, something seems wrong...... Where exactly?

If there is really such a person who pursues himself passionately, then why is he single until he is 30 years old in the original timeline? It doesn't make sense.

Is it because Shen Tianyun didn't know about his high school relationship? It also makes sense.

There is also a possibility that the original timeline self hanged himself from a tree in Yu Luying, turning a blind eye to the secret send-off Qiu Bo of other girls?

When did I get so dead-eyed......

The biggest possibility is that the appearance of Zhao Xiaomei is also a "variable" on the current timeline.

Teacher Yuan took the name on the bus, and the bus started. The car stopped and went in the city, which made Xiao Yao feel a little motion sickness, and he was indeed tired in the past two days, although Xiao Yao was trying to stay awake, he still fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, there was weight on my right shoulder, and the smell of citrus and lilies became more and more intense.

Xiao Yao didn't need to look to know that it was Zhao Xiaomei who "accidentally" fell asleep on his shoulder.

Maybe it's too deliberate, I said.

"Zhao Xiaomei, Zhao Xiaomei." Xiao Yao gently pushed her twice with his right shoulder, and whispered her name in his mouth.

"Ahh Excuse me! Zhao Xiaomei looked like she suddenly woke up, her head popped up, and her right foot, which was resting on her left knee, kicked Xiao Yao like a knee reflex: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

This time, Xiao Yao saw it clearly, the lace should be the edge of the socks, it is really beautiful.

This reminded him of the few toes that Zhao Xiaomei deliberately twisted to himself when he was playing a killing game on his birthday last night.

Xiao Yao wanted to say, "Classmate Zhao, please respect yourself", but in the end he couldn't bear to say anything serious, just shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"Does Xiao Yao think it's good-looking?" Zhao Xiaomei followed Xiao Yao's gaze and looked at the edge of her socks.

"Okay—okay." Xiao Yao deliberately put on a cold tone.

Zhao Xiaomei suddenly put her right foot parallel to the ground on the knee of her left leg, grabbed Xiao Yao's hand, and pressed it on the lace of her socks on her ankle: "Not only is it beautiful, but it is also very comfortable to wear, Xiao Yao can feel it." ”

Xiao Yao almost wanted to "What are you doing-" again, but he looked at the sleepy literary club classmates around him, and finally chose to remain silent.

Five seconds later, he withdrew his hand, but the softness of Zhao Xiaomei's palms and the temperature on her ankles were mixed with wool? Or pure cotton? The softness and roughness unique to the lace edge fabric still stay in my fingertips for a long time.

Xiao Yao felt that he was even more painful, and it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time: "It's quite comfortable-classmate Zhao, please let me go, I have something to do with other classmates." ”

Zhao Xiaomei didn't continue to entangle, but turned to the right with a well-behaved face, resting her two slender legs on the aisle, and making way for Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao hurriedly escaped from Zhao Xiaomei's gentle trap, held on to the soft chairs on both sides, and staggered to Yu Luying and Zhou Yao.

"Classmate Zhou Yao - Zhou Yao," Damn, when did I get contaminated with Zhao Xiaomei's oral fetish: "I'll say a few words to Yu Luying, please ...... you"

The surrounding girls cast mixed glances at Xiao Yao, while Zhou Yao stretched her already long face: "It depends on whether Yu Luying is willing or not." ”

Yu Luying whispered a few words to Zhou Yao, and Zhou Yao stood up with a reluctant face and walked to the back row.

Xiao Yao sat down beside Yu Luying, and he felt that Zhou Yao was sitting hot under him.

"Here? I thought you were very happy with Zhao Xiaomei. ”

The voice was Yu Luying's voice, but her lips didn't move at all - could it be that she was hallucinating because she was too tired?

"Yu Luying." Xiao Yao froze and opened his mouth to call.

Yu Luying didn't answer him, but just took off the headphones in her left ear and stuffed them into Xiao Yao's right ear.

It is Xu Wei's "Travel".

"The evening breeze blows the pine waves, and the wind chimes sound like heaven.

Stand in the silence of the city and let all the hustle and bustle go away.

Only the green mountains are hidden among the white clouds, and the butterflies walk freely through the clear stream.

Look at the sunset blooming in the sky, and there is a flock of birds returning to the west. ”

This is also a song that Xiao Yao likes very much, he remembered his first date with Shen Jie, when he rode a tandem bicycle together in Gongqing Forest Park, he sang loudly this one.

Yu Luying is still the same as before, like-minded and like-minded.

It's been a while since I've listened to a song with Yu Luying like this, Xiao Yao thought.

At this time, the bus had already driven out of the city, and Yu Luying, with a camera hanging around her neck, raised it from time to time and pressed the shutter three times on the farmland and dilapidated houses that swept by outside the car window.

"Won't it be mushy when you shoot like this?" Xiao Yao asked her.

"Just say whatever you want, I know you don't care about these old houses." Yu Luying said lightly.

“？” Xiao Yao was a little confused: "Can't I talk to you?" ”

The girl didn't speak, just opened one eye and closed the other eye and took a picture again.

"You ...... yesterday And your mom, what happened? Xiao Yao had no choice but to cut to the chase.

"Very good," the girl replied briskly, "I want to thank you for bringing me to Qingpu, and thank Teacher Song for taking this matter to my mother." ”

“？” What are you talking about here?

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never find a suitable opportunity to confess...... Confess this? The girl deliberately lowered her voice, for fear that the next seat would have ears.

It turned out that after Song Haijian bumped into the three of them at the Seven Days Chain Hotel yesterday, he called Yu Lihua on the spot - there was actually no surprise in this part.

Yesterday afternoon, Yu Lihua rushed home in a hurry, and got started without saying a word, but fortunately, Yu Bo arrived in time before it was too good.

Under Yu Bo's witness, Yu Luying and Yu Bo explained to Yu Lihua about symbiosis.

"In order to prevent my mother from thinking that the two of us have been hiding it from her for too long, I said that this only started on the day I went to Yushan to have epilepsy, and the next time my mother asks you, don't say it." Yu Luying advised.

"Your mom asked me?" Xiao Yao said.

"Well, my mom said she wanted to talk to you."

"Okay." Xiao Yao thought, this is also a matter of course.

Yu Luying and Xiao Yao explained how relaxed she was now-Xiao Yao understood, to use an inappropriate analogy, for example-like a fugitive, one day finally caught, when he was handcuffed, he was relaxed, even if he would be sentenced heavily, but his heart was full of all kinds of frost and freedom.

But in fact, there are very few people who can come to their senses and voluntarily surrender before they reach that step - at least Yu Luying is such a character.

Although Xiao Yao still doesn't understand: after all, symbiosis is not Yu Luying's fault, and there is still an essential difference between it and being a traitor.

"Oh yes, Song Haijian's side," Xiao Yao changed a new topic: "I thought about it carefully, I plan to talk to the surnamed Song, if he wants to punish me, punish me Xiao Yao himself, it doesn't matter if he doubles," he gritted his teeth: "It's a big deal that I Xiao Yao dropped out of school to be a street slicker, and it will definitely not affect you." ”

"It's a coincidence, my mother is planning to do the same, you two will definitely be able to talk." Yu Luying smiled softly, as if remembering something interesting.

"Then just do the work of Song Haijian." Xiao Yao ignored Yu Luying's teasing.

"There is no need to do work at all, anyway, Teacher Song is now saying that he wants to expel the bad student Xiao Yao, and then give the good student Yu Luying a punishment, and then the mother of the good student will go to her good student in the past - that is, our respected teaching director Teacher Lin, know the benefits, Teacher Song will be as good as the flow, so the good student is still jade and clear, and only the ending of the bad student being injured is perfectly achieved."

Xiao Yao was a little surprised.

In this country, "boys" and "girls", "eugenics" and "poor students" have always been different breeds, and double standards are the norm - Xiao Yao knows this.

But he didn't expect that Yu Luying, a good girl and good student who could always be described as "weak" in his impression, would say such things in such a tone.

"But I'm not going to allow that to happen." Yu Luying shrugged her shoulders lightly and looked out the window again.

Xiao Yao didn't know what kind of declaration Yu Luying said "not allowed", and he didn't know whether to ask her "why not allowed", but felt that although she was always a little weird today, when she heard her say this, she felt very warm in her heart after all.

"What's that," Xiao Yao was silent for a moment, and decided to move on to the next question: "Actually, you ...... yesterday We...... After Shen Jie told you the secret of Tianyun, you didn't react at all, and we all thought it was quite strange. ”

"What reaction would you like to see?" Yu Luying gave him a strange look.

"......" Xiao Yao was silent.

"As a phenomenon beyond the scope of human technology, if it had been a few months ago, I would have been surprised by the screams," Yu Luying explained, "but recently, there have been a lot of things like this...... Symbiosis, shadows, mirrors, you know, everything is more stressful to me than you have a 14-year-old daughter, and I'm a little numb. ”

"Understood." Xiao Yao nodded.

"If I had to say something, I would like to ask you for something." Yu Luying bit her lip and looked at Xiao Yao.

"You say." Xiao Yao hurriedly said.

"You can ask your daughter to help inquire," Yu Luying said hesitantly: "What will Yu Luying look like in the future?" ”

Shen Tianyun is just a junior high school student, unless Yu Luying is in her circle, it is difficult to find out anything, but ......

"I ...... Let me ask. Xiao Yao was silent for a long time and said.

Truth be told, he genuinely felt that it might not be a good idea to spy into the future.

So until now, he has not really studied with Shen Tianyun where Xiao Yao and Shen Jie will go in the future.

However, since Yu Luying has put forward such a wish......

"If it's embarrassing, forget it," Yu Luying saw the look on his face, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I'm quite hesitant myself, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing......

Xiao Yao knew that Yu Luying thought of going with him again: "It's okay, I'll definitely help you ask." ”

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere between the two people has changed from strange coldness to daily harmony.

"Actually, since Shen Jie decided to tell you our secret, I thought you would have taken advantage of the situation to tell her about us." Xiao Yao said.

"I originally planned to do the same, but when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say it all of a sudden," Yu Luying's expression was a little gloomy: "It's like when I faced my mother before." ”

"So, what exactly are you worried about?" Xiao Yao asked gently.

Yu Luying lowered her head and did not speak.

Xiao Yao felt that it was best not to force her: "Actually, Shen Jie can decide to tell you about this matter, and I am also relieved." ”

"Why?" The girl looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"I think you'll understand the choice I've made better." Xiao Yao told her.

"Xiao Yao, I've put it down, haven't you put it down yet?" Yu Luying's tone was a little colder again.

"That's not what I meant......"

"If it's really because of love that you're together, I'll bless you." Yu Luying's tone suddenly became excited again: "But this ...... I'm sorry, I think it's ridiculous. ”

"What?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

"Nothing." Yu Luying sounded like she was controlling her emotions.

"Say, talk halfway."

"Anyway, if it were me, even if I knew the future ending, I wouldn't want to be a puppet of fate." Yu Luying said.

“？”

"You, you and Shen Jie, you two teenagers, why do you have the same thinking pattern as my mother?" Yu Luying leaned her head on the high back of the bus and closed her eyes: "Everything is arranged by the Lord, everything is to obey ......"

"Then," Xiao Yao cautiously asked, "It, fate, isn't it the Lord's arrangement?" ”

"The church has never been a fan of fatalism," Yu Luying opened her eyes vigorously, "Free will is the most precious gift He has given us, isn't it?" ”

"I don't know much about these theological things...... Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying didn't speak again.

"Then you mean, I shouldn't be with Shen Jie, should I be with you? But Shen Tian ......" Xiao Yao blurted out.

Yu Luying's face turned red, I don't know if it was because of shyness or anger: "Xiao Yao, listen up, I like you a little bit, but I have put it down, and you haven't let it go yet." I'm not saying this for my own sake, but I don't understand your choice. ”

"What's so incomprehensible about that?" Xiao Yao was puzzled: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, if I don't be with her, my daughter will become ......."

"There are children who shouldn't have existed in the first place." Yu Luying said.

“？” Xiao Yao didn't speak, but he was starting to get angry.

"Sorry, I'm not talking about your child." Yu Luying also consciously lost her words and apologized to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao let out a long breath: "Whew...... Let's not talk about that. ”

"Well, let's not talk about that." Yu Luying nodded in agreement.

The car pulled into a rest area on the highway and slowly turned off and stopped.

First of all, I wish you all time to read my update today.

And then I'm going to say sorry here.,I was previously informed that two chapters were updated in a row at 12 o'clock tonight.,At present, it seems that the second chapter is going to... It's a little late.

In fact, the temporary adjustment of the update schedule,It's not because I'm going to the holidays.,But the entire 115+116 adds up to a complete 12,000-word chapter.,If you update it two days apart,I'm worried that it will have a negative impact on the reading experience.,That's why I came up with this trick.,And I can finish it in one breath.,And you can continue to be full-time.。

But for now... 116 still needs some modifications and adjustments, and although I'm already working on it, I still can't guarantee that I can come up with a refined product at 12 o'clock.

So, this chapter 115 will be updated in advance, and 116 will be released as soon as it is finished after 12 o'clock, and I will say sorry to everyone again.

After that, it will still be updated at 15 o'clock.

(End of chapter)
