"Do you remember the last semester - no, I should say last semester, when you harassed me......"

"Does emphasizing the word 'harassment' make you more happy?"

"Yes, yes."

"The Lord is here, and you should be careful in what you say and do." Xiao Yao reminded Yu Luying.

Yu Luying stuck out her tongue: "At that time, I was annoying you, so I told you that you are not allowed to come within 5 meters of me." Do you remember? ”

"Remember, how could I forget," Xiao Yao replied casually, "You were still complaining at that time why Huaxia couldn't apply to the court for an injunction." ”

"Haha." Yu Luying covered her mouth and nose and chuckled: "Later, as long as you come up and talk to me, I will be like this," Yu Luying raised her right hand and spread her five fingers: "Five meters!" ”

"Five meters!" Xiao Yao learned Yu Luying's tone and shouted softly in a strange tone, and then the two of them laughed.

"Ahh Yu Luying cleared her throat a little embarrassed, then slapped Xiao Yao, sat up straight, and remained silent in front of the Lord.

The "Sacred Heart of Jesus" presided over by Yu Bo was originally a large church, and the current Sacred Heart Church is just an annex. It was originally confiscated, but after the policy was implemented, it was returned, and it was not completely returned, so only this annex was returned, so the current Sacred Heart Church is a small church.

But Xiao Yao really likes the atmosphere of this small church, more than the towering Gothic cathedral, because in this small hall, somehow, there is a warm and warm feeling of home - it is not easy to describe.

Xiao Yao especially likes it here when the light is dark, or when the lights are not on, for example: now.

The interior of the chapel is tranquil, with the cold moonlight casting a multicolored, faint silver beam through the stained-glass windows, sprinkling on the floor of the chapel in a mysterious pattern.

In the quiet atmosphere, there is a faint smell of milk and candles, and the unmanned benches are neatly arranged, as if waiting for something. A large humanoid figure was hung from a cross on the foremost wall, and the man's face was illuminated by the moonlight, casting intertwined shadows.

Half bright, half hidden in shadows.

"That's because I treated you like that at that time," Yu Luying continued to whisper: "That's why He wants to punish me, so He only lets the two of us reverse five meters now, so that I can no longer leave you five meters, what is this?" The Present World? It seems to be some kind of irony, and it's kind of funny...... But also...... Pretty good, actually? ”

Pretty good? Xiao Yao thought.

Pretty good, Yu Luying thought.

Xiao Yao had a certain joy in his heart, he didn't expect Yu Luying to like him so much now.

The girl felt the joy of the boy, and she felt even more joy because of it.

The boy reached out to put his arm around her, and retracted his hand at the thought of where he was.

"Are you so sure that this is his old man's doing?" Xiao Yao stretched out the five fingers of his left hand and pointed to the man hanging on the cross in front of him: "Or rather, what does he mean by the old man?" ”

Yu Luying was silent.

"Let's just say, is it possible, just to say that there is a possibility, something bad is done, or the natural law of the timeline or something......"

"It's possible," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao, "but everything happened with His acquiescence." ”

A certain unsuccessful art student who made a shower room also happened with his acquiescence? Xiao Yao thought.

Yu Luying did not answer, either verbally or in her heart.

"I wonder if God is the light, is it possible that He also exists in the shadows?" In order to prevent himself from unconsciously raising the bar in his heart, Xiao Yao casually changed the topic.

"Yes," Yu Luying replied, "He is omnipresent." ”

Xiao Yao stared at the cross in the shadows, and couldn't help but think of the eternal fog outside Shen Tianyun's window, and some obscure and uncertain futures.

In the darkness, apart from the moonlight, there was only the red lamp that hung above the altar, announcing the presence of the Blessed Sacrament.

The light was so ...... in the darkness Deep?

"I'm thinking," Xiao Yao patted his thigh: "Since there is a holy body, it can block the approach of the shadows, and the holy body is mass-produced—uh, that's not quite the right word, you know what I mean, then if we arrange it everywhere - all offer the holy body, won't the shadows be helpless for us?" ”

"It seems so," Yu Luying replied, "but ......"

"For example, if I ask one to come back to my house, then my home will be a safe shelter." Xiao Yao seemed to have discovered some new continent.

"The Church forbids private offerings of the Blessed Sacrament." Yu Luying weakly pointed out: "Only in the church can it." ”

"Rules are rules," Xiao Yao said, "but what if it's to save people's lives?" As Jesus said, although it is not allowed to work on the Sabbath, it is no problem to heal the sick and save people and do good deeds, and the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath, which probably means so. ”

"Well, I don't know." Yu Luying said: "I'll ask my uncle when I go back." ”

"Well, you go and ask."

The two were silent for a moment.

"Hey, by the way, last time they came out of the hotel with the Holy Sacrament, why did they have a big black umbrella?" Xiao Yao said: "Also, is the real purpose of this summer camp ......?"

Xiao Yao closed his mouth, because he saw that Yu Luying was already kneeling on the kneeling stool, her eyes closed, her small mouth fluttering, and she began to pray.

Anyway, he was sitting idle, and Xiao Yao accompanied Yu Luying to recite the Rose Sutra.

"Our heavenly Father, let your name be exalted, and your kingdom come, and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us our daily bread today, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven others, and let us not fall into temptation, but save us from evil......"

After reciting the Rosary, Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying why she didn't wear a headscarf when she prayed.

"Why do you wear a headscarf?" Yu Luying asked strangely: "Who have you seen wearing a headscarf?" ”

Shen ...... Lu Ziya," Xiao Yao said, "and Shen Jie." ”

"Lucia's little fundamentalist ......"

"Without being old-fashioned, we would all die on the beach with the waves," Xiao Yao reminded Yu Luying: "It is a New Testament rule for women to wear headscarves when praying, and it is also a tradition of the church...... St. Paul, the old man, also taught us to ......"

"I'm annoyed," Yu Luying pouted: "If you like Shen Jie, just continue to let her wear it, I have no opinion if you like her, but don't want to transform me into a second Shen Jie." ”

"What do you say?" Xiao Yao was stunned: "Can you eat all this vinegar?" First, she learned to wear a headscarf from Lucia, not me. Second, both of us have followed you to believe this, and you say I'm going to transform you into her ......? How fresh. ”

"Are you really not considering separating from her for a while?" Yu Luying blurted out.

"Why did you start again?" Xiao Yao was unhappy.

"I know you don't want to stick five meters with me all the time, I can feel your feelings," Yu Luying said, "You obviously know the solution to this problem." ”

Xiao Yao: "......"

Yu Luying: "As long as you are temporarily separated, you talk to me first, and we will talk about the time when we should break up, you will fall in love and marry her again, everything will go according to the original trajectory, won't there be no symbiosis?" Do you think I'm making this suggestion out of selfishness? ”

"It's not that you are selfish," Xiao Yao said helplessly: "I remember that on the way to Zhouzhuang, you told me that you are not fatalistic, and you laughed at me and Shen Jie, and your mother is fatalistic......"

"People's thoughts are not always static," Yu Luying said faintly: "And the most critical point is that the person who hates the five-meter distance is you, not me." ”

Xiao Yao didn't care if it was in any church or not, and couldn't help but reach out and hook the girl's waist: "I don't hate it, and I am willing to have such an intimate distance from you all the time." ”

"No matter how much honey you put on your mouth, it's useless," Yu Luying said, "I can taste the bitter taste you hide in my heart." ”

It's over, it's over, it's the same as the three-body person, how can you communicate with each other.

"I just think it will cause all kinds of inconveniences to our lives......" Xiao Yao defended weakly.

"At the beginning, I agreed to be three people together," Yu Luying continued: "This is not the behavior that Christians should be, I told you, I am for testing, and my sister also means this, I want to say whether the symbiosis can be alleviated in this way." As a result, after such a long time, has there been a little relief? Is there a slight improvement? No, it's super doubled now. ”

Xiao Yao was silent, he had to admit in his heart that what Yu Luying said was right.

"It turns out," Yu Luying said: "Three people together can't solve any problems, I'm not trying to force you, I just want you to realize that keeping a distance from her, temporarily keeping a distance, is the only effective way to solve the current five-meter problem." ”

"Maybe it's not the only way." Xiao Yao blurted out.

"What else do you do?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"Don't do subtraction, but keep doing addition." Xiao Yao said: "For example, the two of us also continue to increase the distance, no, to enhance the relationship. ”

"How can it be improved? We've all ......" Yu Luying said vigilantly: "What do you mean? ”

"That's what you mean." Xiao Yao replied.

"How dare you make such a request to me in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament?" Yu Luying's flushed face was not obvious in the dark, and she could only see her anger.

"I, no, yes, yes, you, mention, out, any, what, want, ask." Xiao Yao told Yu Luying.

Actually, I don't want to ...... at all. I didn't think much about it, at least I didn't think about it very much, I didn't think about it in that direction. I'm just answering you, my guess, is what you said, the second way to solve the problem, other than being separated from her.

"Impossible, no matter how much you break my heart, I won't agree." Yu Luying refused: "Unless you marry me." ”

I'm marrying you......

"I know your principles, and I don't want to disappoint you myself, so it won't work." Xiao Yao explained: "But if you want me to separate from her, this will not work, don't mention it again in the future?" ”

"Okay," Yu Luying said: "If you don't mention it, don't mention it, then we'll just be tied up with a three-legged chain, anyway, I'm willing, and you're willing, aren't you?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao replied stubbornly, "That's it, it's good." ”

"It's good." Yu Luying said.

The two men were silent for a while.

"What if," Xiao Yao said weakly, "the distance will be shortened again in the future, but what should I do?" ”

"Cold salad, how can it be shortened after it's like this?" Yu Luying asked rhetorically: "Has it become negative?" ”

Xiao Yao: "......"

Yu Luying also realized the ambiguity behind this sentence: "I didn't mean that! ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked innocently.

Yu Luying looked left and right and said to him, today's weather hahaha, changed the topic.

Before you know it, the sky is slightly white.

"What, that Zhang Zhengkai is still pestering his sister? Still entangled in your house? Yu Luying said: "Call the police." ”

"Hey, come on," Xiao Yao said: "What kind of police, we illegally took in minors first, and we really want to make trouble, and I don't know who will take care of it." ”

"That has nothing to do with him Zhang Zhengkai," Yu Luying told Xiao Yao: "He's not Shen Jie's person." ”

"Whew." Xiao Yao shook his head and waved his hand.

"You actually persuaded my sister to be nice to him, are you an idiot?" Yu Luying said again: "My sister didn't turn her face with you, it is indeed true love." ”

"What a face, isn't that just small talk." Xiao Yao said disapprovingly.

"What do you think?" Yu Luying asked Xiao Yao.

"I didn't think much about it," Xiao Yao said, "The old man is kind-hearted, and he can't see it...... It's just a heart-to-heart. ”

"It's true that you can empathize with this kind of person," Yu Luying complained: "I was embarrassed to say that I just cared about your face, you and Zhang Zhengkai are really a pair of difficult brothers." ”

"Haha, isn't it a good thing to have empathy?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Xiao Yao deliberately played haha.

I don't want Yu Luying to answer seriously: "I must admit that you have empathy and are a good person." ”

"Straight and back?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"Straight down." Yu Luying said.

"Do you fall in love with me because of my good qualities?" Xiao Yao teased her.

"Ghosts love you," Yu Luying said stiffly: "I was forced by symbiosis to have no choice, and I had no choice but to fight." ”

"Hahaha." Xiao Yao said.

"But you only have empathy for boys, not for girls." Yu Luying added.

"Ah......h

"Xiao Yao, you tell me the truth," Yu Luying turned her head and looked at him quietly: "What did you add to Shen Jie yesterday today?" ”

"What's the addition?" Xiao Yao's face was inexplicable.

"Don't pretend, you said it yourself, the relationship has to be added to lead to this consequence," Yu Luying said calmly: "You said it yourself, this is the natural law of the timeline - you tell me the truth, are you two ...... Isn't it...... Already...... Already......? ”

"Nope." Xiao Yao told Yu Luying without hesitation.

"Really?" Yu Luying narrowed her eyes and stared at Xiao Yao's eyes.

"Never." Xiao Yao swore an oath.

"The Holy Sacrament is here, you are in front of the Lord," Yu Luying turned her head, no longer looking at Xiao Yao's face, but staring at the red light: "Say 'no' to me again, and I will believe you." ”

Xiao Yao took a deep breath.

Then, another bite.

After a minute of silence, Yu Luying stood up, turned around and left.

"Don't go, you go slowly." Xiao Yao hurriedly chased after him and reached out to pull Yu Luying's arm, but was thrown away by the latter.

"Are you angry?" Xiao Yao clung to it, and the girl began to climb the wooden ladder in the church without saying a word.
