"In that case," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "why didn't you scold her to stop her delusions, or stop playing pranks on you?" ”

"You will tell your children," Shen Jie smiled softly: "Santa Claus doesn't actually exist, Christmas gifts are all bought by Mom, Dad can't go home at Christmas because he is in prison for Grandpa?" ”

"But she's already going to high school, not a child." Xiao Yao pointed out.

"She's already going to high school, can't she tell the difference between fantasy and reality?" Shen Jie said a little distractedly: "Since she is willing to weave a beautiful dream for me, why don't I accompany her to make this dream, why do I have to burst that soap bubble?" If I had a choice, I would like to be immersed in such a dream...... But I don't have that ability anymore. ”

"I guess I understand." Xiao Yao nodded.

"I know that for all these years, she has missed her dad, and I can understand her feelings — because I feel the same way as her." Shen Jie continued: "So, I choose to 'believe' her, because she is my only precious daughter," Shen Jie's tone revealed a tenderness: "So no matter what she says, I am willing to 'believe' her, what she says has a nose and eyes, and I will listen to it seriously." ”

Xiao Yao: "Hmm......"

"So I found out later that she not only made up stories to me, but also found a friend to talk to me on the phone, saying that it was me in the past," Shen Jie smiled: "I thought it was so funny, so I continued to cooperate with her in this play, and even at her request, I talked to her friend on the phone several times - I only now know that it was really me in the past, which feels amazing."

"To be honest, I really hope that what she said is true, because if I really have this opportunity, I really have a lot of things I want to say to my past self. So, I really took the friend she found as my past self and said a lot of things to me that I thought about in my heart.

After saying those words to her, I did feel a lot of pressure in my heart, so I was able to recognize Yunyun's behavior more. Once, when I was talking to Shen Jie on the phone, I was in a trance, and I really had a feeling that I was talking to my past self - now that I think about it, is this a woman's intuition? ”

Xiao Yao laughed dryly, noncommittal.

"Of course, occasionally I think, Yunyun, even if that girl has a good relationship with you, she is an outsider after all, you shouldn't tell her everything at home."

"Then why did you decide to pop this soap bubble today?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"Because I accidentally saw you and Yunyun sitting on the sofa in my house, Qingqing me." Shen Jie said simply.

"Huh—is that all?" Xiao Yao laughed dryly.

"Well," Shen Jie nodded and said, "I actually don't object to Yunyun falling in love, and I don't need her to climb high branches, even if she likes children from poor families, it doesn't matter, anyway, our family is not short of money." ”

"That's right." Xiao Yao said.

"However, I can't let her find a man who is particularly good at cheating." Shen Jie's expression became serious again, and she changed back to the stern mother.

"Understood," Xiao Yao nodded: "It doesn't matter if the poor boy comes, but he can't come with our family's money." ”

After saying this, he realized that in his own capacity, it was somewhat subtle and funny to say this, so he smiled self-deprecatingly.

Shen Jie didn't tease him, she just said to herself: "Actually, on the way back, I kept thinking, can she Shen Tianyun really do this, not only let a girl play me in the past, call me, but also find a boy to play you in the past, meet me?"

"To be honest, I have curiosity in my heart, I really want to see what kind of person Tianyun has found, and I want to see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd." Shen Jie said.

"Sounds like a lot of fun." Xiao Yao commented.

"As a result, as soon as I came back, I saw that the two of you were about to kiss on the sofa," Shen Jie recalled: "Look again, you really look exactly like the photo of my husband when he was young, and I was buzzing in my head at the time, and a script has been written." ”

"What script?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"About ten years ago, there was a special epidemic on the Internet about the kind of scammers who pretended to be others to cheat money, pretending to be everything, Qin Shi Huang, Terminators, foreign princes and mercenaries, their acting skills were actually very clumsy, but the most outrageous thing is that there are really people who fall for this kind of fool, and they are convinced." Shen Jie explained.

"Auntie, no," Xiao Yao said, "In order to cheat your family's money, I deliberately went for a full set of plastic surgery, the upfront cost is too high, right?" Xiao Yao said.

"I thought just now that Yun Yun first met a boy who was good at rhetoric, and under his influence and guidance, she began to have this idea, and slowly made up this whole set of stories, just because you and her father did look very similar when they were young."

“…… Your imagination. ”

"Then I was very worried, she was not just making up stories for me and herself," Shen Jie said: "I think she was eaten by this man, if I can't expose this scam, not only will my daughter be cheated of money and body, but it is even possible to fall into this kind of fantasy weaving mind control, and it will not be possible to get along with it in the future...... Psychiatric problems can occur. ”

"Indeed," Xiao Yao said, "you have to educate her well: get out of the fantasy and embrace the reality, even if the reality may not be so beautiful—but Auntie,"

"Will you call Auntie again?" Shen Jie smiled and clenched her fists, making a gesture to fight.

"No, I'm assuming now that I'm that boy," Xiao Yao explained: "Is there a possibility, in fact, I am a bona fide third party, just because I happen to look like Xiao Yao, I was entangled by your daughter, and I am the passive side." ”

"If that's the case, Auntie still has to educate you well." Shen Jiewan said.

"Huh?"

"What I want to say to you is," Shen Jie sat up straight seriously: "Little classmate, can you really accept it, her 'liking' for you is just because you look like her father, is it just a kind of empathy?" ”

"Auntie, I can accept it," Xiao Yao replied solemnly, "As long as she is with me, I don't care what the reason for her is." ”

"Ha," Shen Jie said, "So, do you really like Yunyun instead of playing with her?" Will you always be good to her with a serious and responsible attitude? ”

"Auntie, I will," Xiao Yao said, "Oh no, Auntie, isn't it too early to ask me these questions......"

"It's not early," Shen Jie deliberately said with a straight face: "How do I know that you are not thinking about my Shen family's property?" ”

"I am, Shen Jie," Xiao Yao pretended to be serious, "otherwise how could I find you?" ”

"you." Shen Jie scolded with a smile.

"I'm starting to feel slowly now, you're still the same Shen Jie," Xiao Yao said with a smile: "The way you just entered the door is really too bluffing, in fact, you are still so lively in your bones." ”

"No matter how lively she is, she is just a lively old woman."

"Hey, wait, wait, wait," Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something: "Ask a serious matter." ”

"You ask."

"Shen Tianyun said before, it's you, call her, call me, go find you now, is this what you said, or is Shen Tianyun pretending to pass on the holy decree in the middle?"

"That's what I said," Shen Jie recalled: "You also know, I didn't take it seriously at the time, I said, if you really met your father when you were young, quickly let him go to me when he was young." ”

"Hmm."

"I said, the thing I regret the most in my life is that I met Tianyun and his father too late, and I squandered my best years, I'm sorry for him, and I'm sorry for myself." Shen Jie said: "I said, with Xiao Yao, the best time is from the beginning, followed by now. ”

"At that time, you didn't know that it was true, that's why you said this," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "Now that you know it's true, will you still say that?" ”

Shen Jie took a deep look at Xiao Yao's eyes, and said without the slightest hesitation, "Yes." ”

Xiao Yao grabbed the back of Shen Jie's hand.

Without any words, without any questioning, Xiao Yao could feel the strong ...... coming from the person on the other side What do you like about yourself? Pity? Still is...... Love?

This kind of love like the glow of a scorching incandescent lamp is something he has never felt in Shen Jie, 17 years old, and Yu Luying, 15 years old, no, no one of his peers has ever felt here.

Is Zhao Xiaomei counted? If she's sincere, it's half a thing, but it's just ......

Ah, Tianyun, will Tianyun be an exception? Well, somewhat, but not so strongly.

Moreover, whether she can be regarded as a "peer" in the true sense of the word is also a controversial matter.

Anyway, this kind of love is like when you are cooking in the school cafeteria, your aunt and sisters are happy that you are handsome, and not only do you not shake your hands, but also scoop a few more pieces of meat for you...... No, it's all a bad metaphor.

Xiao Yao was stunned when he thought of it, and Shen Jie stretched out her hand and waved in front of his eyelids: "Hey, hey, why are you in a daze?" ”

"Meow Mama." Xiao Yao suddenly raised his head.

"Huh? What meow...... Call me? Shen Jie was stunned for a moment.

"Meow Ma Ma," Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie, "I suddenly thought of another question - why has history been changed, but you have not inherited the new memories of 17-year-old Shen Jie at all?" ”
