At 8:30 a.m. on August 4, 2004, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie stepped on the bus to Dongqi Summer Camp at the gate of St. Francis Secondary School.

There are two buses in total, they take the first one, Xiao Yao sits in the front row on the right, sits with Yu Luying, and Shen Jie, who signed up in the name of "Xu Qingwei", sits in the back row on the left.

Daiyu sat behind Xiao Yao, like an ADHD child, chirping excitedly, unable to stop at all.

"What about your family? Didn't you say you were coming? After the bus started, Xiao Yao turned around and asked about the fish.

"Well, she said she didn't have time to go to summer camp for such a long time," Daiyu said diligently, "but she will find time to stay with me for two days." ”

"It's only been two days?" Xiao Yao snorted and shook his head, the implication was obvious, he felt that Yan Xiao was not good for hairtails.

"Young man, you don't understand." Ribbon fish took off his yellow-rimmed glasses and wiped them on the hem of his T-shirt: "She wants to come, I won't let her come yet, a few days is enough, no more, no less." ”

"Why?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"Are you stupid, where are we going? By the sea! The ribbon fish eyebrows flew and danced: "What is there on the beach?" ”

Xiao Yao gently touched Yu Luying's forearm and replied, "Uh...... Sand beach? Ocean wave? Bonfire? Beer barbecue? …… Damn, don't you say I haven't remembered it, I've lived for 16 years, and I've never been to the beach! ”

"Don't talk about the magic capital, don't you also rely on the sea in Dongru?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"In the past, it was thirty or fifty kilometers, and it was all tidal flats, tidal flats." Xiao Yao explained: "It's all coarse sand and pebbles, and it's awkward to wear travel shoes, and it smells fishy, which is not interesting at all." I'll just say the kind in TV movies, beach and seaside, hey, I haven't seen it before. ”

"Shouldn't you be excited, then?" The ribbon fish continued to dance.

"Okay, excited, excited." Xiao Yao let go of Yu Luying, raised his arms, and waved a few times softly and weakly.

"I'll tell you indeed, Brother Yao," said the fish.

"Don't learn from Jesus!" Yu Luying interjected and reprimanded.

"I'll tell you that, Brother Yao," Daiyu said, "What you said didn't get to the point." ”

"What's that idea?" Xiao Yao asked the hairtail.

"Beauty, swimsuit, think about it, you can finally feast your eyes......" The fish thief glanced at Yu Bo and several female college students around him, and lowered his voice: "Maybe there will be an affair?" ”

"Oh," Xiao Yao said expressionlessly, "I'm not interested, if you have this hobby, wouldn't it be good to go to the Modu Natatorium?" ”

Xiao Yao said these words sincerely, first, he was no longer interested in sexual encounters - the two in front of him had already stretched his time management ability, and he had to be content, not a bear who broke buds.

Second, he has no interest in swimsuit shows. First of all, it's not interesting to just look at it, and secondly, he still prefers the appearance of the everyday dress that sticks to the girl pitifully wrinkled after the swimsuit is wet.

If you want to see the swimsuit, you want to see the exposed meat, and it is indeed the same to go to the Modu Natatorium.

"Oh, Dai Yu, why are you so obscene, like an uncle." Although Daiyu's voice was lowered, Yu Luying still heard it and expressed her dissatisfaction: "How could Yan Xiao fall in love with someone like you-yes, don't you have Yan Xiao, what else do you want?" ”

"When I saw Brother Vayao, I understood Brother Vayao," Daiyu said shamelessly: "This is the fate of my wife who has always been by her side, you can only pretend to be serious." Yu Luying, when I go to talk to him, I want to borrow Brother Yao, don't worry, I won't let him participate, just help me strengthen my courage on the side. ”

"You're so fat that you can't fit it in your stomach, and you still need to be strong? Watch out for explosions. After Yu Luying finished complaining, she turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and ignored the fish.

"I see you, Jesus has not been able to change you at all." Xiao Yao then made up for it.

"Brother Yao, she said forget it, you are also qualified to talk about me?" Daiyu glanced back at Shen Jie and grabbed Bai Dao.

"Nope." Xiao Yao replied coldly, then turned back and continued to whisper to Yu Luying.

At this moment, Shen Jie was sitting at the back of the bus, looking at the scene in front of her, with a pack of fire in her stomach.

In fact, just yesterday, Xiao Yao just did his own ideological work, or rather, he gave himself a preventive shot.

Xiao Yao means that during the seaside summer camp, where there are many people, he needs to keep a low profile with him.

There are two reasons for this.

First of all, in Yu Lihua's eyes, Xiao Yao has broken up with her Shen Jie, and now she and Yu Luying are boyfriend and girlfriend, and Yu Lihua's own brother, Yu Bo, seems to understand this matter in this way.

Therefore, as long as Yu Bo is present, Xiao Yao has to go in and out of pairs with Yu Luying, not himself.

Secondly, in order to avoid leaking the news and making herself "arrested", this time to participate in the Dongqi Summer Camp, Shen Jie used the pseudonym and new identity of "Xu Qingwei".

Then, if Xiao Yao is noticed and walks too close to her inexplicably, it is easy to arouse suspicion and leak the news.

For these two reasons, this situation led to - Xiao Yao and Yu Luying sat side by side in the front, flirting, and he sat alone in the back like a big fool.

Although Shen Jie had already verbally recognized and agreed with Xiao Yao's logic yesterday, when she really sat on the cold bench, she realized that she had overestimated her broad-mindedness.

Now, who is the wife and who is the junior?

It feels terrible.

Especially just now, the guy with the fish looked back at himself with a wicked smile, what are the three of them talking about behind their backs?

Shen Jie put on a pair of big headphones and closed herself in her own world, trying to find the feeling of this trip.

"I'm as free as the wind, just like your tenderness can't be saved, you push away my outstretched hands, you go, it's best not to look back, endless drifting, the thirst for freedom, all the vicissitudes of life, bear the ...... alone" Xu Wei's vicissitudes of singing came from the earphones.

Before meeting Xiao Yao, Shen Jie almost never listened to any Chinese songs, and listening to Xu Wei's songs was also forcibly promoted by Xiao Yao, and now it is already a little top.

Obviously, they have only known each other and have been together for such a short time, and they have already been affected so strongly, Shen Jie sighed secretly.

How much did you influence him?

Thinking of the singer's recommendation from Xiao Yao, Shen Jie wanted to cut off the song angrily.

But Xu Wei's songs are really suitable for listening to when traveling, especially on the way to the beach.

The girl gently shook her little head to the beat of the music.

Shen Jie wore a small suit today, a gray pleated short skirt with a skirt of about 3cm above her knees, a pair of Dior's small black leather shoes on her feet, and her favorite bud hat on her head, which was worn on the back of her head and fixed to her hair with a paper clip.

She gently rubbed her soft and fluffy belly through the pleated skirt.

Today's weather was originally very suitable for travel - it was a cloudy day, and when she got up in the morning, Shen Jie felt a little cold, which may have something to do with lack of sleep, so she wore a pair of thin skin-colored tights.

Of course, as an independent woman, there is absolutely no intention to please Xiao Yao.

And now it's only 9 o'clock in the morning, and the sun is beginning to show, and there is a ...... outside the car window There were some bad sights, which made Shen Jie regret it a little.

But fortunately, the air conditioning in the car is quite sufficient, and the comfort is still quite high.

Why don't you take it off when you go to the bathroom later? It's also strange if someone else notices......

After all, the girl can notice that since getting in the car, there have been several eyes of the opposite sex that will stay on her body intentionally or unintentionally.

Of course, this is normal, and she is used to it wherever she goes.

Yu Luying told herself that there was a saint who once scratched her face.

For what? I forgot, but I can guess it.

Shen Jie never approved of this kind of self-defeat, but she could vaguely understand why she did it.

…… Yu Luying rested her head on Xiao Yao's shoulder again, really, in public, you can't ...... Is it more shameless?

The thumb and index finger of Shen Jie's right hand gently rotated the diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand, and she wanted to take it off and put it in her small schoolbag in a rage.

……

Damn, it's stuck, I can't take it off!

The girl gave up her attempt in frustration.

This "ring" really makes herself unilaterally "keep the ring", Shen Jie thought self-deprecatingly.

Angry!

In fact, just yesterday, I discussed with Xiao Yao, saying, "Otherwise, I won't go."

"What's the matter with me going with me like this?" At the time, I seemed to say so.

It's just that Xiao Yao expressed his fierce opposition in tone and emotion on the spot, and he had to give up.

Now that I think about it, I still have to go, otherwise who knows how far these two people will develop in these ten days of "solitude".

Thinking about the benefits, Xiao Yao insisted on taking himself there, his heart was still good, and his heart was still on his side.

Moreover, the dungeon of twenty dollars a day is indeed itself, and there is suffering in it.

Whether it's survival adaptation or extreme challenges, no matter how nice it sounds, it's self-torture, and you can't just start complaining.

And it's really boring - quite boring.

Catholicism feeds mosquitoes without merit.

"By the sea......" the girl muttered to herself.

The seaside is a common sight for her, having been to the Maldives as well as Big and Small Mesa, Boracay, Saipan, Bali and Koh Samui. Among them, Shen Jie likes Seychelles, Fiji and Tahiti the most - every summer since she can remember, Shen Hongsheng will take her, to be precise, to take the whole family to the beach for vacation, so this matter is as ordinary for Shen Jie as eating and drinking.

Because of this, she really doesn't like the newly developed beach in Dongqi.

Well...... However, it is not a bad thing to go for a walk and blow the sea breeze rather than doing nothing in a windowless room.

Shen Jie turned her face to the boring scenery outside the car window, thinking of Shen Hongsheng, and her heart inevitably became inexplicably melancholy.

Will...... The next few decades of my life will be spent like this?

Where the woman is going, Xiao Yao has to accompany him obediently, and then he, as his wife, can only accompany him...... In that case, wouldn't I, me, my dignified daughter of the Shen family become her Yu Luying's briefcase?

This is really a step back, and the more I think about it, the more angry I become.

Of course, the reverse can also be said to be true - no matter where Xiao Yao wants to accompany her, as long as she doesn't tear her face, she Yu Luying will also accompany her as much as possible.

…… But it's still weird.

Wherever you go, and it's still above board, you have to thank others.

Of course, it may also be because of Yu Luying, or Xiao Yao can't go at all.

Shen Jie regretted it a little.

The iron-clad facts are in front of you, what about giving her a partial house after marriage? It is convenient for others and for yourself.

When Truth or Dare was that day, I really shouldn't have been so stubborn.

Falling out with Yu Luying is more like a willful decision than a rational choice.

Of course, the reconciliation that Xiao Yao has been proposing, she Shen Jie is not unacceptable.

But you can't take the initiative on your own.

Shen Jie turned her head back to the inside of the bus.

According to her observations, the essence of this "summer camp" is actually a "summer camp for college students", and middle school students cannot say that there are none, but only very few, and most of them are familiar.

Am I still a middle school student?

Forget it, at least it's still the summer vacation, and the city's Seven Girls' High School still retains my school status.

School......

She saw Father Yang, who had white sideburns, holding the microphone and standing at the front of the car facing everyone, not knowing what to say, but Shen Jie didn't plan to take off the headphones.

Xiao Yao, Yu Luying and Daiyu stopped chatting and laughing, and listened to the old priest seriously, Yu Bo sat in his position, and his face could not be seen from this angle, Zhang Jialong and Chen Lu sat in the window position in front of their right, and were bending down to take out the ...... Rosary rosary?

Oh, is it time to chant the scriptures?

Shen Jie also has a pair of rosaries, which Yu Luying gave her before, but it seems that she left it in the Western Suburbs Garden - she forgot to bring it when she escaped from the skyscraper.

What to do? Sleep or continue to read and listen to music? Wouldn't it be too good? Or mixed in the middle of the crowd, the little monk chanted the scriptures, and filled the numbers indiscriminately?

Shen Jie subconsciously took off her headphones and looked around a little dazedly, thinking about whether she should go up and ask Yu Bo for one.

A palm slapped on his right shoulder.

Shen Jie turned her head suspiciously, and what she saw was a girl with a round face, wearing a pair of round-framed glasses that were so big that they covered half of her face, her bangs hung very low, and her appearance was quite ...... Ordinary?

On the palm of the girl's outstretched hand was a string of simple glass prayer beads.

"Thank you." After Shen Jie thanked the other party, she reached out and took the rosary.

After reciting the Rosary Sutra with everyone, the round-faced girl sat on the empty seat to Shen Jie's right.

"Thank you." Shen Jie politely thanked her again.

The girl returned the rosary to the girl, but the latter waved her hand and said, "Take it and use it, I have a few more." ”

"Okay...... So, thanks? Shen Jie didn't say too much to her.

It's strange to say, usually girls with this appearance are quite gloomy, but this one is like a tomboy, and he is familiar?

"My name is Qiu Yiting, maritime, you can call me Luzia." The girl enthusiastically introduced herself.

"Is Luzia your religious name?" Shen Jie asked curiously.

"Yes, Holy Name," Lucia asked rhetorically, "what about you?" ”

"My name is S...... Xu, Xu Qingwei," Shen Jie said: "Christian name, uh, Mary......"

"Look!" Qiu Yiting, who called herself "Luzia", interrupted Shen Jie excitedly: "It's the sea!" The beach has arrived! (End of chapter)
