Chapter 243: Old Husband and Old Wife
*This chapter is also known as "The Time Traveler's Wife"
"Where did Yu Luying go when she grew up, do you know?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.
He didn't notice it, and the look of displeasure on the woman's face flashed.
"She ......" Shen Jie thought for a while and said, "Actually, I just know that there is such a person and have heard such a name, it should be that you know the girlfriend I had before." β
"That's right." Xiao Yao said.
"I just remember if you talked about it in college or when you graduated, I really didn't know that you and her were classmates in high school, and you were so good," Shen Jie recalled: "Actually, you know who I am - oh, you may not know now, in fact, I really don't mind what emotional experiences you had before me, so I never inquire, life should look forward and not backward." β
"That's right," Xiao Yao reread these four words: "But we are at least classmates and friends now, she wants to know what will happen in the future, and it is reasonable for me to help her inquire." β
"I really don't know right now, but I can try to ask, it's fine." Shen Jie said seriously: "Ah, in my impression, you said that she seems to be married, but I'm not too sure - then I am a teacher and have children." Again, I'm not too sure, I need to confirm it again. β
"Oh." Xiao Yao said lightly.
Xiao Yao, who heard this "news", did not feel too much emotional fluctuation, he had predicted this answer and thought it was natural.
Of course, he should express regret, but ......
Well, that's surprisingly calm.
Shen Jie also regretted it immediately after telling this lie, because she remembered that she seemed to have told "Shen Jie" that Yu Luying had passed away, and when the time came, she would rescue herself, and the two little guys would immediately go to the gang as long as they had a pair of words, so they hurriedly went to make up for it in an uncertain tone.
"Xiao Yao," Shen Jie stretched out one of her feet and rubbed it on Xiao Yao's calf: "Sister will discuss something with you." β
Xiao Yao had a bad premonition in his heart, but he could only say, "You say." β
"Have you ever considered being dedicated to her, that is, to me?" Shen Jie made an appeal: "Only the two of us are good." β
Xiao Yao said with a sad face: "Originally, I was just an ordinary friend with her, and it was you, the 17-year-old one you requested...... I'm not trying to bring back your memories and confuse you. β
"I know about this matter," Shen Jie nodded, "Because she mentioned it to me on the phone, I don't need to inherit her memory to know ......"
"Well, how much more do you know?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.
Symbiosis, palace, all this, did Shen Jie tell her? Or will she be able to "remember" herself sooner or later?
It seems that there is no need to hide these things from her, Xiao Yao thought.
"How can I say it," Shen Jie said step by step: "When I was young, I didn't understand things, I said strange things, I did strange things, and I regretted it when I grew up, isn't it also reasonable?" β
"It's very reasonable." Xiao Yao said reluctantly.
"Since I gave it to me, since I regret it, then I take it back now, is it okay?" Shen Jie asked Xiao Yao.
"......" Xiao Yao didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.
"Well, in fact, even if that's the case," Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "It can't be the same as a public toilet, you can come and go as you want, right?" All of a sudden. I'll think about what you say, but don't do it all at once. β
"Okay then." Shen Jie was a little disappointed, but she didn't press him anymore: "It's all from when I was young, I can understand." β
Xiao Yao said "I'll think about it", but he didn't plan to think about it at all. If Xiao Shen Jie said such a thing, maybe I would still ...... Will it ......
"Okay, don't be entangled," Shen Jie smiled: "I'm not entangled, let's watch a movie together at night." β
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yao said, "but I can't get out." β
"With a laptop." Shen Jie said.
Xiao Yao rushed to clean up the empty plates and chopsticks on the table, but was stopped by Shen Jie.
She just opened the door of the bedroom and shook the wind chimes hanging on the door, and in a short time two women dressed as Filipino maids walked in and put the table away.
Very good, this is the third and fourth future people I have ever met, Xiao Yao thought.
It's nice to have money.
After cleaning up, Shen Jie didn't know where to conjure up a fruit laptop.
"Are notebooks so thin now?" Xiao Yao wondered: "This is the same as paper, where are the accessories stuffed?" β
Shen Jie smiled and said nothing, indulgently letting him say "stupid words of the ancients", sitting on Shen Tianyun's soft sofa.
Her light notebook was placed on her lap, and due to the comfortable sitting position and her right leg upturned, the skirt of her pajamas was naturally lifted to the root of her thighs, and Xiao Yao realized that she was not wearing pantyhose, but ...... Suspenders.
"Do you like it?" Shen Jie noticed Xiao Yao's gaze, raised her hand and patted her leg, and after a soft sound, her round thigh trembled slightly.
"Well," Xiao Yao said honestly, "Actually, I don't like it too much." β
Shen Jie raised her eyebrows, revealing a somewhat surprised expression: "You obviously liked it very much beforeβno, you will obviously like it very much in the future." β
"In the future? Well, it's hard to imagine. To tell you the truth, this thing is a bit too ...... in my eyes That's what it is. Xiao Yao said: "At least don't wear it when you go out." β
Shen Jie snorted and laughed: "Do you still need to say this?" β
Shen Jie sat on the soft sofa, she quietly untied her coiled hair, and gently shook it off, letting it hang down smoothly. In the dim light, her long straight hair radiated a soft sheen, like a shining star in the night.
It's so good-looking, it's finally a little girly, Xiao Yao thought.
Every strand of her hair obediently clings to her silhouette, dancing with the faint air-conditioning wind, like a black waterfall gently embracing the woman's body. They flowed over her shoulders and behind her back, creating a dreamlike picture. The air-conditioned breeze brushed her hair and her face, bringing a touch of coolness and tranquility.
"Who put your long hair up, who made you a wedding dress......"
Xiao Yao sat on the sofa, leaned shoulder-to-shoulder with Shen Jie, and watched a future "old" movie "Time Traveler's Wife" in 2009 with her.
said that he was accompanied, but in fact, it was the first time he watched it - the boy liked this movie a lot, and tonight, Shen Jie chose this movie, which was obviously very appropriate.
The lights in the room were turned off, and only the fluorescence of the computer screen reflected the faces of the boy and the woman in blue and white.
Regarding Xiao Yao and Shen Jie watching this movie together, here can be carefully described as follows:
In Shen Tianyun's bedroom, the lights are dim, and only the computer screen emits a faint fluorescence, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere. Xiao Yao sat next to Shen Jie, shoulder to shoulder, and they quietly watched the movie together.
Xiao Yao's mind is drawn to this futuristic "old" film, and he is immersed in the plot, fascinated by the interweaving of time travel and love. He sees some of his own shadow in the male protagonist, and experiences a touching emotional journey with the protagonist.
And Shen Jie's eyes flashed with deep thoughts - she was no stranger to this movie, but at this moment she chose to watch it with Xiao Yao, except to share this special moment with him, she also had other intentions.
The eyes of the two converge on the screen, feeling the emotional impact of the movie. Shen Jie gently stroked Xiao Yao's shoulders from time to time, and the warm touch conveyed ...... It's not quite right to say that it's maternal love, in short, it conveys a different kind of love.
Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie from time to time.
The plot in the movie gradually deepens, which resonates with the two of them. They will look at each other at critical moments, making eye contact with silent understanding. This tacit understanding brought them closer together, as if the gap between time and age became insignificant at this moment.
As the movie progressed, Xiao Yao's thoughts began to fly. He imagines the future, imagining what role he will play in the long river of timeβhe is not sure whether the unfortunate fate of the future can be changed, so there is a trace of worry and confusion.
Shen Jie's company made him feel at ease, and even developed a firm belief that no matter how the future changes, the bond between them will exist.
"I just hope that my fate is not destined to be killed by some passerby's shotgun." Xiao Yao stood up and stretched his waist widely.
"No, you'll live a hundred years." Shen Jie said with a smile.
"It's not good to squat in prison until you die of old age." Xiao Yao said.
The young man said to Shen Jie that he was tired and wanted to go back to his room to wash and rest, although Shen Jie did not explicitly say that he was not allowed to go, but he still kept dragging him and chatting about something.
Xiao Yao lay comfortably on Shen Jie's lap, closed his eyes, tried to relax, and then talked to Shen Jie.
Shen Jie gently picked up a cotton swab and shone it with a small flashlight on the keychain, trying to pull out the earwax from Xiao Yao's ear.
Her movements were light and skillful, and did not cause any discomfort to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao felt Shen Jie's care, and he completely relaxed, enjoying the feeling of being taken care of. Shen Jie's movements were gentle and delicate, and her fingers gently moved around his ears, making him feel a touch of comfort and affection.
In this quiet bedroom, there was no other sound, only the soft breathing and heartbeat between the two of them.
"Xiao Yao," Shen Jie asked, "Tell me about your love story with Shen Jie, right?" β
"What kind of love story?" Xiao Yao said.
"It's the first time you two met, and the relationship you've been getting along for the past few months, I want to hear it." Shen Jie said softly.
After cleaning her ears, Shen Jie put down the cotton swab and stroked Xiao Yao's forehead with her gentle fingers, gently kneading his temples. This gentle touch made him feel reassured and peaceful, and his worries and stress seemed to be relieved a lot.
"I don't dare to tell you this, I'm afraid that the speed of memory replacement is too fast, and you won't be able to adapt to it." Xiao Yao told Shen Jie.
"I feel like I'm ready and I'm getting used to it a little bit β we can come little by little, say a little bit today, say a little bit tomorrow."
"Hmm...... How to say that? Xiao Yao said: "I will still be a little scared. β
"What are you afraid of, silly boy?"
"I'm scared of losing both of you." Xiao Yao said.
"The two of us?" Shen Jie was slightly stunned.
"Well, that Xiao Yao, who only knew Shen Jie at the age of 30, learned Dongru baked cakes for her, respected her like a guest, raised Changsheng together, and resolutely apologized for her father, I don't want him to disappear forever." Xiao Yao sorted out his thoughts: "Although I think it is a good thing that I can not go to prison without going to jail; Including you, too, you who have grown into a strong woman because of the great changes in this family, I don't want you to be gone. β
"You kid, you think so much, whether you are or not, I will take on the responsibility of the group," Shen Jie smiled: "We will remember, I promise you."
When she said this, her voice was very soft and ethereal.
βNever forget.β Xiao Yao said.
"Okay," Shen Jie turned his head over with a smile and went to pluck the other half of his ear, "Tell me your story." β
"Our story...... The first time we met was at the gate of your school, the city's No. 7 Girls' High School, and then I ......"
"That's right," Shen Jie suddenly thought of something again, interrupted him and said, "Can you tell me, where are you two developing now?" β
"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned: "What has developed to which point?" β
