Shen Jie originally meant that she would go back to the funeral by herself, and let Xiao Yao and Yu Luying continue to go to Tangshan Hot Spring to play, otherwise wasting the tickets she bought was secondary, and ruining the mood of the two people made her even more unhappy, but Yu Luying refused without hesitation.

The two had a small dispute, and then Yu Luying simply said: "Sister, I love to tell the truth, go to the hot spring with him for private soup, I am alone, I will definitely be innocent." ”

"No, who am I in your eyes?" Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "I'm not in the mood to go to this hot spring, I definitely want to accompany you at this time." ”

"Why do you accompany me," Shen Jie touched the corner of her eyes, and forced a smile: "I can't take you back too, right?" At this time, I can't give my dad back eye medicine, right? ”

Xiao Yao was speechless, so he could only nod silently.

Sanxiao only got out of the car, stopped a car and went home, and after returning to the magic capital, he went straight to Shen Jie's grandmother's residence.

Xiao Yao had never been to this place before, Shen Jie originally meant that Xiao Yao and Yu Luying should not get out of the car and go back directly - Xiao Yao insisted on paying for the car and took Yu Luying to accompany Shen Jie out of the car.

The three little ones stood on the side of the road, watching the taxi go away.

A cold wind blew, whirling up the few dead leaves on the side of the road, and Xiao Yao couldn't help but shudder.

It happened so quickly and so suddenly that Xiao Yao still lacks a sense of reality.

During this time, he had imagined countless times what it would be like for Shen Jie to leave one day.

He knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he subconsciously avoided it.

possibilities.

Just like the attitude of many people in the face of death.

Xiao Yao had a strong, unprovoked premonition that Shen Jie would not be able to come back if she left.

This strong uneasiness made him unable to leave in style, or let Shen Jie leave.

But what can he do if something like this happens to Shen Jie's family? Don't let Shen Jie go? Do you have to go along?

That would be too ignorant.

Not only that, but he couldn't even reveal his worries and anxieties to Shen Jie.

That's too much like a spoiled child.

But now, there is no doubt that what Shen Jie needs is a shoulder that a man can rely on, not a child who is insecure and can only hug her legs and cry.

So even if Xiao Yao can't stand up to a man's shelf, he can't let the child out.

Therefore, he just held Shen Jie's hands with both hands and didn't say a word.

Yu Bulb stood aside, looking at this, looking at that, for about half a minute, none of the three people spoke.

Then, Xiao Yao reached out and took Shen Jie in his arms.

Although there is no longer a heartbeat when looking at her, the love and affection of this husband and wife are still there.

Xiao Yao couldn't help but feel reluctant.

Although he didn't say anything, Shen Jie still saw through his mind and captured his anxiety.

"Dog, don't worry, I'll be back soon after I finish dealing with it." Shen Jie told Xiao Yao.

"Hmm." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Even if my dad doesn't let me come back to live," Shen Jie thought about it, and added with a little confidence: "I will ...... It will also ...... I've always been with you. ”

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "I can rescue you once, and I can rescue you a second time." ”

"I believe in you." Shen Jie's nails grabbed Xiao Yao's back tightly and pecked him on the face.

Shen Jie's clear and unambiguous statement more or less dispelled the anxiety in Xiao Yao's heart.

He pretended to be chic and took the initiative to let go of Shen Jie: "Okay, don't delay, let's go." Ask our grandmother for me......"

After thinking about it, it was impossible to ask: "To your father...... Alas, forget it. ”

"Alright." Shen Jie raised her right hand and pinched Xiao Yao's flesh.

……

"Go." Xiao Yao urged.

"Well, I'm really leaving." Shen Jie made a "call" gesture at Xiao Yao, and then waved at Yu Luying: "Silly sister." ”

Yu Luying hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and hugged Shen Jie briefly.

Before Shen Jie walked into the lush community, she turned her head at Xiao Yao three times.

The last time he turned around, the dazzling sunlight shone on the girl's face, so that Xiao Yao couldn't see her face clearly.

Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Xiao Yao could feel her sadness.

The boy's heart was torn in the air, and it hurt.

When the two of them returned home, Tianyun and Grandma were not at home, and the two of them stared at the empty bedroom for more than ten seconds.

"I knew it would be better to go to the hot springs." Yu Luying walked to Xiao Yao's bed and sat down, her small pink fist gently tapping the outside of her thigh.

"You're not worried about your innocence?" Xiao Yao said.

Yu Luying glanced at him.

"Don't do it." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "Something happened to Shen Jie, how can I still have the heart to play." ”

Yu Luying glanced at him again, and then said, "I'll go back to the room." ”

As she spoke, she stood up, raised her legs and walked towards Shen Tianyun's room, which was as if it was her own room.

"Huh, huh," Xiao Yao stopped her: "Don't go?" ”

"What are you doing?" Yu Luying didn't look back, and put one hand on the doorknob of the closet.

"Just ......," Xiao Yao said, "Let's write our homework together." ”

The heating effect of the air conditioning in Xiao Yao's grandmother's house is not good, and I haven't thought of changing it when I have spare money these days, and now the two little ones are freezing cold, and the hands holding the pen are a little frozen, Yu Luying has the intention to pull Xiao Yao into Tianyun's room to warm up, but seeing that he has been using his mobile phone to send and receive messages, knowing that he is keeping in touch with Shen Jie, he didn't say anything, but he silently added another layer of thick woolen socks that were not very sexy.

Since separating from Shen Jie, Xiao Yao has never broken off contact with her, which makes the young man feel a lot more relieved. Perhaps he was busy dealing with his mother's funeral, but Shen Hongsheng did not use violence against his daughter for the time being, nor did he restrict her freedom of communication and movement.

For now.

Shen Jie's grandmother actually died on Friday, and for some reason Shen Hongsheng waited until Saturday morning to inform her.

On Sunday night, Shen Jie called Xiao Yao and asked him if he wanted to go to his grandmother's memorial service.

At that time, Xiao Yao was sucking Shen Jie's cat, pointing at the cat's head with his fingers, and saying unnutritious nonsense in his mouth: "You little kitten, your master is home now, do you know, only I will take care of you now......"

At this time, Shen Jie's call came in, and it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, but Xiao Yao was in good spirits.

"Hey~wife~" Xiao Yao picked up the phone.

"The memorial service will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning," Shen Jie did not greet him, but went straight to the point, with a hint of tiredness in the girl's voice: "You-do you want to come?" I just have to ask for another leave from school. ”

"Come on, come on," Xiao Yao agreed without thinking, "Your dad won't skin me alive on the spot, right?" ”

"I told him," Shen Jie told Xiao Yao succinctly, "He agreed." ”

"Ah," Xiao Yao said, "have you persuaded him for a long time?" ”

That's why you came to inform me so late.

"It's okay." Shen Jie said.

Xiao Yao certainly understood what it meant to be allowed to attend the memorial service, and he would not miss such an opportunity.

"Don't be too reluctant, after all...... ...... in school It's better to give priority," Shen Jie said with some hesitation: "And you have to ask the opinion of the stupid girl, after all, she also has to ask for leave, don't make your own decisions, there are ......"

On Monday, November 29, 2004, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying attended the memorial service of Grandma Shen Jie.

It's still that street in that place - Longhua.

Back then, uh, we came to say goodbye that month - no, the farewell to Mr. Song Haijian is still vivid, but I didn't expect to stand in front of this Nai He Bridge again so soon.

Today's temperature is very low, and even the shallow puddles on the road are covered with a layer of ice, and it is a crunch to step on.

Xiao Yao originally wanted to wear his winter school uniform jacket issued by the school, but in the end he chose a more formal suit and dressed himself up like a dog.

This set of clothes was bought for him by Shen Jie.

Then, at the gate of Longhua, the suit was already blown through by the morning breeze, so he had to stomp his feet and rub his hands, hug himself with both hands, and then hang down.

Yu Luying was naturally not lightly frozen, but she was strong and maintained her demeanor of etiquette.

She was also wearing a black dress today, without a hat or gloves.

The tights, like her long dress, are pure black and opaque, a color that not only makes her calves look more slender, but also makes her whole person look elegant and solemn.

Yu Luying's face was not very good, in fact, before going out, she lost her temper with Xiao Yao for no reason, to the effect that she didn't want to ask for leave from school, didn't want to come to this memorial service, didn't want to be Xiao Yao's self-propelled briefcase, in short, it was unreasonable, and after the trouble, she apologized to Xiao Yao, and carefully dressed up and accompanied him out.

"Arrived?" Shen Jie's message came from Xiao Yao's mobile phone.

"Here we are." Xiao Yao replied.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Jie passed the name of the venue where the memorial service was held.

The gate of the Longhua Funeral Home is lined with two huge flower beds with flowers and greenery. It had just rained last night, the ground was still wet, and the smell of earth wafting in the air felt very strange in this place.

Xiao Yao walked on the asphalt while staring at the green pines planted on the green belt.

He liked the vigorousness of the trunk and the graceful foliage of the tall trees.

Unlike Song Haijian's simple memorial service, the farewell ceremony of the Shen family's grandmother was held in the central hall, which was very large, brightly lit, and the most solemn decoration.

I can't see priests, priests or monks and Taoists, this room is vertical, larger than the church of the Sacred Heart, there are at least a few hundred people gathered in it, looking at the dress, most of them are celebrities and business elites, and they are in a pile of two or three people, negotiating something.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao was glad that he was wearing the most decent outfit, and at the same time, he was also happy that the hall was fully heated.

"Xiao Yao!" Just as Xiao Yao was stretching his neck to look for someone, the familiar and smart voice had already come from the other end of the hall.

Xiao Yao turned his head and saw the familiar Qianying, and subconsciously ran a few steps towards her, worried that Yu Luying would not be able to keep up, so he stopped again.

At this time, Shen Jie had already rushed to herself.

The girl wore a yellow chrysanthemum on her head, dressed in black, and wore a large black cloth with a small red cloth embedded in her left arm, red circles under her eyes, and a smile on herself.

Xiao Yao also smiled at her, and reached out to hug her, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, he felt that the occasion was inappropriate, and retracted it.

"Hey." Shen Jie said.

"Hey." Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head.

What are you doing, I haven't seen you for two days, why is it so embarrassing?

Then, Shen Jie and Yu Luying greeted each other again, and then gave Xiao Yao a piece of red and black cloth with a retrofit needle, saying that he had something to do, and left.

Xiao Yao was holding this large piece of black cloth inlaid with small pieces of red cloth, feeling that he was holding a marriage certificate with Shen Jie.

"Do you want me to help you?" Yu Luying stretched out her head and asked.

"No, no, I'll wear it myself."

After pinning the black cloth to the outside of the sleeve of the suit with a paper clip, seeing that the memorial service would not start for a long time, Xiao Yao took Yu Luying around the edge of the entire hall.

The air was filled with a burst of light music melody accompanied by the light chorus of male voices, which made Xiao Yao very comfortable to listen to.

At first, he thought that someone was playing the piano, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the piano in the memorial hall, let alone the men's choir, and then realized that this was probably playing a CD.

This melody is somewhat familiar, and after listening to it for seven or eight seconds, Xiao Yao reacts that this is "The Sound of Silence".

I heard that at Kennedy's funeral, this song was played.

The lyrics are naturally in English, but with Yu Luying's vocabulary and hearing, Xiao Yao can probably hear the gist of the lyrics.

"Hello, darkness, my old friend;

I'm here to talk to you again.

for a hallucination was creeping upon me;

Left its seed behind while I was asleep.

This hallucination,

Rooted in my mind,

haunts me.

Accompanied by the sound of silence.

I walked alone in restless dreams,

Narrow cobblestone streets,

Under the halo of street lamps,

I cocked up my collar to ward off the cold and damp,

A dazzling neon light pierced my eyes,

Piercing the night sky, touching the sound of silence,

Under the dazzling lights,

I saw thousands of people ......"

Under the dazzling lights, Xiao Yao found Shen Jie's name very high in the wreath queue.

The white couplet reads "The pine and cypress wind wither, tears and sorrow", and the small characters at the bottom are granddaughter/grandson-in-law Shen Jie/Xiao Yao Jingbang.

Xiao Yao's heart moved, he gasped, and subconsciously took a step forward.

Rub your eyes.

Knead again.

Then he stretched out his hand and rubbed the words "grandson-in-law" and "Xiao Yao".

Did Shen Hongsheng not look carefully and was mixed in by her, or was it ...... Still is......

It can't be, since this thing can fit into this hall, it's still in such a high position...... Most likely this is a default.

Although this occasion was extremely inappropriate, Xiao Yao couldn't control the joy in his heart.

The big stone that had been pressing on my heart for a few months leaked down on its own so easily, how could it not be called and not called for it......

Xiao Yao looked up and saw Yu Luying's disdainful expression, even the corners of her eyes and lips drooped down, she hurriedly put away the smile on the corner of her mouth, and stepped forward to reach out to strove Yu Luying to coax her.

As soon as the hand was stretched out halfway, Yu Luying turned her head and dodged away, Xiao Yao was about to reach out and stroke again, but the girl stretched out her hand and pointed behind the young man.

Xiao Yao cautiously turned his head, and then turned around.

As in a movie, the crowd in front of him automatically split into a path, like the Red Sea divided by Moser.

At the end of the Red Sea, it is not surprising that it is today's mourner - Shen Hongsheng, who is wearing a black suit with a cigar in his hand.

At this moment, he was talking to another man.

This man is half a head taller than Shen Hongsheng, with a well-proportioned figure, a navy blue tunic, black trousers and black leather shoes, he looks like he is in his 40s, his temperament is calm, and his expression is serious, but he still can't cover the handsomeness between his eyebrows and eyes.

Although Xiao Yao had never seen him, he felt a little familiar inexplicably.

Why does it sound familiar? Have you really never seen it before? …… Xiao Yao thought.

Shen Jie stood next to Shen Hongsheng, holding her father's arm, while the latter pushed the girl's back and pushed her to the man.

She bowed to the man as if reluctantly.

The man smiled, shook his head, waved his hand, said something twice, and walked away.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Hongsheng took Shen Jie and walked towards Xiao Yao.

To be exact, it was walking in the direction where Xiao Yao was.

His eyes didn't look at Xiao Yao, as if he didn't recognize him at all, but shook hands and greeted the guests who came to attend the funeral one by one.

finally walked in front of Xiao Yao and looked at him deeply.

Xiao Yao's heart tightened.

"Not ...... Uncle. Xiao Yao shouted.

The reason why he was called "Uncle Wei" was because he wanted to learn from the movie and call "future father-in-law", but in front of so many guests on this occasion, he finally adopted a conservative name.

Shen Hongsheng had a smile on his face, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yao for a second and a half, took a hard puff of his cigar, and gently spit the mist onto Xiao Yao's face.

Xiao Yao: "......"

Yu Luying: "......"

Shen Jie: "......"

Just when Xiao Yao didn't know how to step down, Shen Hongsheng stretched out his broad palm and patted the filial piety cloth on Xiao Yao's left arm.

The strength he used was not very big, but if it was in martial arts, Xiao Yao must have felt that his palm had used internal force.

"You're fat." Shen Hongsheng said.

"What?" Xiao Yao exclaimed.

After Shen Hongsheng said these three words, he didn't speak again, but just slapped the piece of filial piety cloth twice with a smile, and took Shen Jie to prepare to greet the next one.

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao called her softly.

Shen Jie stuck out her tongue slightly, held her father's arm with one hand, and waved a HI with the other.

……

After the backs of the Shen father and daughter were far away, Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying: "Why didn't you see the one surnamed Luo?" ”

"How do I know?" Yu Luying said.

"Am I really fat?" Xiao Yao said.

"Don't you have any points yourself?" Yu Luying looked him up and down, and replied in a tone of pretended surprise.

"I'm really fat." Xiao Yao said.

……

After the memorial service officially began, Xiao Yao saw Shen Jie again - in fact, he was arranged to stand next to Shen Jie.

Standing in the first row was Shen Hongsheng, as well as several adults that Xiao Yao did not know, presumably Shen Hongsheng's brothers and sisters.

Standing in the second row were Xiao Yao, Shen Jie and some other half-grown children.

"These are your ......," Xiao Yao and Shen Jie bit their ears.

"My cousins, you don't have to know each other yet." Shen Jie answered him in a low voice.

Why don't you recognize?

"Where's your stepmother?" Xiao Yao asked.

"People are happy." Shen Jie said.

"Joy? …… What does pregnancy have to do with this? Xiao Yao asked inexplicably.

Shen Jie wanted to speak and stopped, stopped talking and desired, and finally patted him, but did not speak, the implication was to tell him not to ask.

The little fat man standing to Xiao Yao's left frowned at the two of them—the little fat man's chest pocket seemed to have a bunch of chicken feathers in his suit—Xiao Yao waved at him, and Shen Jie raised his small and pink fist at him.

To the left of the little fat man stood a woman who looked like a college student, crying sadly.

Yu Luying squeezed into the middle and back rows of the crowd as an unrelated passerby, stretching her neck to watch the excitement - in order to stand within five meters of Xiao Yao, she still stood a little forward, but fortunately, no one cared about her.

The memorial service was held in a step-by-step manner, and there was nothing special to describe.

Three bows, mourning music, and a minute of silence, followed by a bespectacled middle-aged thin monkey - the leader of the old textile factory unit eulogy.

When it was Shen Hongsheng's turn to deliver a eulogy as a representative of the family, Shen Jie and Xiaopang both began to cry. The former clutched the sleeve of Xiao Yao's suit, Xiao Yao listened to the breathless sobbing, and tried in vain to squeeze out two or three crocodile tears while flipping through the tissues in his pocket.

Unfortunately, he couldn't even get his eye sockets wet.

Xiao Yao began to try to recall the tragic moments of his sixteen years of life, but in the end he still failed to succeed, and it was not good to pick his throat to tear in public, so he had to secretly regret why the person who lived with him was not Shen Jie.

In this way, I can convey her sadness, Xiao Yao thought.

When the body finally said goodbye, Xiao Yao accompanied him and kowtowed a few times, followed behind Shen Hongsheng and others, and sent the deceased to be cremated with Shen Jie's cousins.

After following the coffin for a few steps, Xiao Yao was shocked, secretly said that it was not good, looked back, and saw that Yu Luying had already come out of the crowd, and walked quickly into the team of the second and third generations of family members, bowed his head and mingled in it, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and also walked forward with his head down, secretly praying in his heart that something would go wrong.

"Hey, hey, the family is seeing them off—" The voice was quickly left behind.

Xiao Yao let Shen Jie hold his arm, leaned on him, and watched the old man's coffin disappear into the corner of the room behind the iron gate.

Shen Jie had already leaned on his body and cried into tears.

On the way back to the memorial hall, the funeral home staff solemnly instructed everyone not to look back.

I don't know what period this local superstition originated, but it reminded Xiao Yao of a record in the Book of Genesis.

The Rots come out of the sin city of Sodom, and the angel tells them not to look back.

There is always a disobedient one in this kind of story, and Roth's wife looks back at Sodom in the flames, and immediately turns into a pillar of salt.

When he was thinking about this, he saw Shen Jie turn her face with tears on her face and look back.

Xiao Yao was horrified, stretched out his hands to hold her face, and twisted her back - the technique looked like murder.

Fortunately, nothing happened, Shen Jie did not turn into a pillar of salt, and her neck was not injured.

According to custom, the funeral procession goes across the brazier and then goes to eat rice.

Yu Luying pulled Xiao Yao around the brazier, did not cross, and directly fast-forwarded to the most popular part of the people - eating.

Xiao Yao sat at the child's table - Yu Luying was also at the same table, this table was Shen Jie's cousins and cousins, they were very familiar with each other, but Xiao Yao and the two didn't know each other, so the scene was a little embarrassing, but no one said anything.

The food was very good, the atmosphere of the banquet was more relaxed and bright, Xiao Yao ate very happily and drank a lot (fruit orange and coconut water).

He suddenly realized that this table must be expensive, and then he thought that he hadn't paid for it yet, so he let out an "oops".

Shen Jie cried and wore makeup before, and just washed her face and came back now: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yao bit her ear with her, and she said, "It's okay, you don't have to." ”

"Don't I use it?" Xiao Yao said.

As mentioned earlier, this table is all third-generation relatives, the oldest is just starting college, and the youngest is just going to elementary school. The cousins are also familiar with each other, and they are naturally full of curiosity about the duo of Xiao Yao and Yu Luying who suddenly appeared, especially for Xiao Yao.

Some people have already seen the words "grandson-in-law" on the elegiac couplet, and most people have also heard the "legendary love story that can be sung and cried" between Xiao Yao and Shen Jie, and they are all very excited to ask this and that, gossip.

Shen Jie quietly told Xiao Yao not to talk nonsense, and she calmly dealt with these gossips, the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.

During the banquet, Xiao Yao and the little fat man who was standing next to him at the memorial service, who was in junior high school, had a very happy conversation - this guy is one of Shen Jie's cousins, a senior computer master and hardcore gamer, and boasted to Xiao Yao about the computer configuration at home, as well as the genuine arcade machine in his collection, which made Xiao Yao stunned and yearned.

When the meal was almost finished, Xiao Yao asked his cousin for a QQ number, and when he was halfway through the use of his mobile phone, he was suddenly taken away by Shen Jie's hand.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao said.

"Do you want Ning Ning's contact information?" Shen Jie said: "I'll send it to you when I go back." ”

"Oh, okay." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie sent Xiao Yao and Yu Luying downstairs to the restaurant: "I'll send you two here, and I have to go up to greet them." ”

Yu Luying and Shen Jie politely said goodbye, but Xiao Yao looked like he wanted to say something and stopped, and couldn't move his steps.

"Let's go back, let's go back," Shen Jie smiled slightly, and reached out to touch Xiao Yao's face: "Call again." ”

"When are you going home?" Xiao Yao blurted out and asked this question that he knew would not have an answer.

Shen Jie was silent, revealing a somewhat helpless expression.

Xiao Yao reached out and took the girl into his arms.

Shen Jie put her hands on Xiao Yao's waist and gently comforted: "Okay, okay, there are so many people." ”

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were walking along the edge of the street while looking for a "bad head".

Yu Luying was depressed, Xiao Yao was stunned, and for a while, neither of the two of them spoke.

"Is it cold?" Then, Xiao Yao said.

"It's fine." Yu Luying stretched out her right hand and stroked her left upper arm.

"What about tomorrow's military training?" Xiao Yao hesitated and asked, "Let grandma go to call in sick?" ”

"On my side, I have to ask my mother to take a leave of absence, right?" Yu Luying said as she took out her mobile phone: "Although the two of them fall ill at the same time......

"What about Guan Yi," Xiao Yao said, "Anyway, no one will gossip about us anymore, will they?" ”

Yu Luying nodded lightly, and was about to dial Yu Lihua, but Yu Lihua's phone had already taken the lead.

"Nong is dying?" Although Yu Luying didn't turn on the speakerphone, Xiao Yao could still hear the babbling on the other side of the earpiece: "Teacher Lin said that you didn't go to school today!" ”

"I'm on leave!" Yu Luying said.

"Who gave you leave, I'm the guardian, how come I don't know?!" Yu Lihua said angrily: "You two don't go to school, where are you going to play?" ”

"Shen Jie's grandmother died, and he was going to the memorial service," Yu Luying said truthfully, "I had to accompany him." ”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

"Hey, Mommy?" Yu Luying said: "Oops! ”

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong?" Yu Lihua also hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's okay," Yu Luying said into the earpiece, "I've stepped into the pond." ”

Yu Luying briefly talked to her mother again, hung up the phone, held Xiao Yao's shoulder with one hand, took off her small black leather shoes with the other, and poured the water inside.

It is said to be a "pond", but in fact it is just a small puddle of slightly deeper, covered with a thin layer of ice, which is quite confusing.

Yu Luying patronized to deal with Yu Lihua, didn't notice, stepped on it, and inserted the first half of her foot into the ice water.

She felt a chill spread through her soaked socks to the soles of her feet, and her brow frowned slightly.

The wet socks fit her slender feet, and the thick black silk of the black winter is delicate and smooth, perfectly outlining the girl's small feet.

The front half of the foot is wet, and it looks particularly black and shiny, as if it still reflects natural light. A thin film of water covers the soaked socks and looks beautiful - the droplets follow the texture of the stockings to the toe of her sock, dripping from the toe and back to the "pool", while the back half of the foot is visibly dry, contrasting with the wet part, presenting a natural dividing line.

The touch of the socks after absorbing moisture made Yu Luying feel a little cold, in fact, the contact with ice water at this temperature made her numb quickly.

The girl pursed her lips and shook her toes slightly as she poured the water from her shoes, as if feeling the friction between the socks and the water.

Subconsciously, her five jade toes were pressed together, but they curled and stretched from time to time - a movement that accelerated the fall of water droplets from the tips of the socks, and also made the socks at the toes show several more obvious folds, as if tempting someone.

Yu Luying knew that the young man next to her was staring intently at her feet, and there seemed to be some kind of fiery desire burning in his eyes, which made her heart beat faster.

Then, Xiao Yao squatted down and pressed Yu Luying's feet back into the cold and biting "pool".

The girl was instantly furious.

Rao is that she clearly knows the other party's xp, and talking to herself like this in the ice and "snow" is too disrespectful to girls.

"Thirteen o'clock, nong?" Yu Luying, with a little anger, slapped Xiao Yao's face, and only used three percent of her strength.

Xiao Yao: "......"

Yu Luying: "......"

The two men stared at each other for a second and a half.

Yu Luying realized at once that her face didn't hurt at all.

Xiao Yao hesitantly raised his hand and gently "fought back".

"Sure enough......," the boy muttered.

Yu Luying also suddenly understood why he pressed his feet into the ice water.

Then, the two men began to frantically hammer each other's arms with both hands on the main road.

"Don't, don't, don't, don't," Xiao Yao gasped and said, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." Take turns. ”

After a little testing, the two men recognized this ironclad fact.

Symbiosis, inexplicably, disappeared.

"What are you kidding?"

-- Dividing line --

On the way home, Xiao Yao kept frantically calling Shen Jie, but after a long beep, it sounded, "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is not answered for the time being, please dial again later." ”

Yu Luying sat in the back seat of the taxi, her toes could still feel the ice slag in her leather shoes before, and then she was so numb that she lost consciousness, seeing that Xiao Yao didn't even care about the work on the surface, she just called Shen Jie like a headless fly, and she was alone in her heart.

She scolded Xiao Yao 10,000 times in her heart, but Xiao Yao couldn't hear it, so it saved trouble.

Xiao Yao saw that Shen Jie didn't answer the phone, so he simply asked the driver to stop and turn around, and drove to the restaurant where he was eating.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? I didn't look at it for a while, and there were dozens of missed calls! Shen Jie's tone was doting with reproach.

"Where are you?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" ”

"What can I do?" Shen Jie said inexplicably: "I'm still in the hotel, we were just about to leave - hey, it's coming!" I'm not going to tell you yet, I'll call you when I get back, huh? ”

Xiao Yao swallowed the sentence "I thought you didn't want me anymore" and blurted out: "Symbiosis is gone!" ”

"Okay, okay, wait until I get back - what?" Shen Jie exclaimed: "What's missing?" ”

"Symbiosis!" Xiao Yao said: "Symbiosis is gone!" ”

"Huh?!"

-- Dividing line --

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying honestly went to the school to report and gather, and got on the bus to the "Oriental Red Island" to participate in the "Study Army".

The days of military training were miserable, boring, and cold, and there were not many positive experiences to speak of.

Fortunately, the organizers have not completely given them strength, so after closing the team every day, Xiao Yao still has the strength to hold Yu Luying's little hand and take a walk by the lake in the Eastern Red Continent drinking the northwest wind - finally leaving a good memory in the "Eastern Red Continent".

Yu Luying was wearing camouflage pants, two white socks were exposed at the junction between the cuffs and the uppers of the green military shoes, and her slightly longer hair was scattered at the base of her neck, fluttering messily with the evening breeze. She was wearing a light-colored winter coat over her camouflage uniform, and there was no expression on her face, Xiao Yao walked on her left side, turning her head to stare at the girl's side face, only feeling beautiful.

What exactly is the point of fashion? As long as the person is good-looking, he looks good in this kind of neat military training uniform and green cotton coat that does not distinguish between men and women, Xiao Yao thought.

While thinking like this, he couldn't help but lean up and kiss Yu Luying's face, but the latter frowned and avoided it directly.

"What are you doing...... Xiao Yao said.

"What are you doing!" Yu Luying scolded.

In the end, I got it.

But I was fiercely disgusted.

Another strong wind blew across the lake.

"Is it cold?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"It's not cold, it's fine." Yu Luying said: "I'm wearing a coat." ”

"Cold logging during the day?" Xiao Yao seemed to be looking for words at a loss: "You didn't wear a coat during the day, I watched you crawl and roll, and I felt distressed." ”

Yu Luying let out a chuckle from her nose: "You feel sorry for me? It's almost there. ”

"How's that? I'm telling the truth. ”

"If you feel sorry for me, you will press my feet into the ice water," Yu Luying smiled: "You feel sorry for me, my feet are frozen into ice in my shoes, you just care about calling your wife at that point, I, you ......"

"No, you, I, I'm not because of ......" Xiao Yao was speechless for a while.

In fact, whether it is Xiao Yao, Yu Luying, or Shen Jie, they are all very clear in their hearts.

If their previous assumptions weren't wrong.

The disappearance of symbiosis means that his relationship with Shen Jie ...... At least something went wrong.

If you use Ouyang Qianqian's words, it is the red line between the two people, which has turned black.

Now, Xiao Yao can only hope that his previous speculation about the principle of symbiosis was wrong.

Of course, Shen Jie was able to capture Xiao Yao's anxiety, so she was extremely enthusiastic about him these days.

In fact, in the first two days of military training, Shen Jie's messages and call frequency were so high that even Xiao Yao felt a little grassy.

Immediately, he realized that Shen Jie's contact with him so frequently was not just to appease his anxiety.

She was anxious herself.

She was also afraid of losing herself, and she was afraid that she would leave her.

Once he realized this, Xiao Yao's nervousness was relieved to a certain extent - this is easy to understand.

Then they began to worry about whether it would be a natural disaster to break them up.

Or maybe it's man-made again.

"I'm going back to class today." On the third day of military training, Shen Jie told Xiao Yao on the phone: "That's why there is less news during the day." ”

"The middle girl?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment before reacting: "It's good, it's good." ”

When he said "pretty good", he felt a sense of loss in his heart: "That, what, the classmates didn't gossip about you, right?" ”

"No~~ Yes," Shen Jie said, "They all have good manners." ”

"It's a pity that we borrowed the money." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie let out two pleasant dry laughs.

"Hey, dog, I'll ask you something......" The girl said mysteriously, "I'm just asking casually, and don't take it to heart." ”

"What's the matter, you ask." Xiao Yao changed the phone to an ear.

"My dad ...... before" Shen Jie hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "My dad said that he called you, saying that he wouldn't arrest me, and that he would put his living expenses into my card every month, is this really the case?" ”

“…… Yes, there is. Xiao Yao swallowed with difficulty.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Shen Jie's tone was quite gentle.

“…… I, I thought I was dreaming. Xiao Yao was telling the truth, but as soon as he said this reason, he felt as if he was insulting the IQ on the other side: "...... I mean, that call. ”

"Oh......" Shen Jie's tone sounded obviously not too satisfied.

Perhaps, subconsciously, is it afraid that you will go back? Xiao Yaoxi moved his lips twice, but did not make a sound.

"By the way, I also have one thing," After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Yao opened his mouth to change the topic: "I've wanted to ask you for a few days, but I haven't asked." ”

"Hmm." Shen Jie replied lightly.

"Dad, this counts, accept and approve me?" Xiao Yao asked this question hesitantly.

"What do you say?" Shen Jie asked rhetorically.

"How did you do that?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie.

"I have a showdown with my dad," Shen Jie replied heartily: "Mirror, future, daughter, Tianyun's matter." ”

"What?" Xiao Yao felt as if his heart had been slammed with a sledgehammer: "What are you talking about?" (End of chapter)
