Shen Jie stepped into the residence where she planned to stay in the next few days, instinctively frowned slightly, without even realizing it.

She turned her head and saw hairtail standing at the door of the room, hesitating to enter: "What?"

"Sister-in-law, I won't go in." While talking, the hairtail placed Xiao Yao and Shen Jie's big and small bags on the floor inside the door of the room: "Xiaoxiao is still waiting for me below, we agreed Let's go eat together—Xiao Yao hasn't come back yet, sister-in-law, would you like to eat with us?"

"Okay~ forget it." Shen Jie blurted out: "Forget it, you guys go ahead, I won't be a light bulb anymore."

"It's okay, it's okay." Hairtail's mouth was still enthusiastic, but the expression on his face revealed the voice of "this is the best": "Let's go together."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, let's go." Shen Jie showed a sly smile.

Hairtail: "?"

--split line--

At this moment, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying are sitting on the bus going home.

"Home" refers to Yu Lihua's home, of course.

The afterglow of the setting sun spills in through the car windows, casting mottled light and shadows on the seats and the floor.Following the vibration of the vehicle, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying leaned against each other, and also jolted accordingly.

Passengers sit in their seats or stand in the aisle, each lost in his own thoughts.Some people looked down at their mobile phones, some closed their eyes and shook their bodies slightly, and a few middle-aged uncles who got off work noticed that there was a beautiful high school girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, leaning against a The black square-rimmed glasses, no matter how you look at them, are on the shoulders of ordinary peers.

Tsk tsk tsk, children nowadays, the uncle felt a little sour in his heart, and secretly sighed.We were...

It's strange to say, it should be during the summer vacation, why can we still see girls in school uniforms?What's more, the clothes, no matter how you look at them, have traces of half-wet and half-dry - which makes people feel a little unusual.

Let's say it's wet, it seems to have been mostly dried, but it's still a little messy and wrinkled on the body.

The color of the sweatpants has also recovered most of its dryness, but slight wet marks are still visible on the knees and legs.The pink sweatpants cling to her slender legs, which are so long and so thin that they seem to break when folded, which makes people feel distressed.

The girl's white sneakers are dry and clean without a trace of stains.Simple yet durable, the shoes complement her crisp school uniform.She—she didn't seem to be wearing socks, and her white and thin ankles were exposed from the middle of the upper of the shoes and the legs of the trousers, which was set off to make her slender, and her round ankles were even more lovely.

What's going on with the kids these days?Wearing sneakers and no socks, don't the shoes stink?I don't understand... the uncle secretly shook his head.

Grass, sit and stand!

……

Xiao Yao gently tugged on La Yu Luying's slender wrist.

"En." Yu Luying snorted softly from her nose.

"Do I have to go today? Can't I do it tomorrow?" Xiao Yao said with a mournful face, "Your sister—er, Shen Jie is carrying her luggage and looking for a house right now. If I don't show up, she will miss me for a year, believe it or not ?”

"That can't be helped," Yu Luying said, "Didn't I tell you that my mother lost her temper and said, 'If Xiao Yao doesn't come to eat today, he won't come again', so I rushed there early in the morning , just to inform you about this.”

Didn't you rush here early in the morning to stimulate Shen Jie and tell her to let me break up with you, Xiao Yao thought.

After getting off the bus, Xiao Yao tugged on the short sleeves that she had already done almost: "Hey, tell me the truth."

"What?" Yu Luying said.

"Is that what your mother meant?" Xiao Yao asked.

Yu Luying shook her head, showing an indifferent smile: "Is this important?"

After dropping these four words, he quickly walked forward without looking back.

"..." Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and chased after him in small steps.

The two went around to the old commercial street and bought some fruits as usual.Under Yu Luying's recommendation, Xiao Yao bought another small can of high-quality Longjing.

"Did you buy the ring on Shen Jie's ring finger?" On the way home, Yu Luying asked in a casual tone.

"Uh, that's her own." Xiao Yao didn't think it was a lie.

"Oh, I don't think you can afford it either." Yu Luying said.

As soon as the two entered Yu Luying's house, Xiao Yao didn't even have time to call "Auntie", when Yu Lihua yelled, "What's the matter with your clothes? Did you go swimming?"

"No," Yu Luying said flatly, "With Xiao Yao, we're having a water fight with the two kids. If he wants to play, just accompany him."

"Ouch, Xiao Yao, it's not that Auntie said you..."

Xiao Yao: "?"

"Oh no, Yu Luying, where are your socks? Why did you come back with bare feet?..."

--split line--

At the same time, Shen Jie was sitting on the bed in the rental house, stroking her white socks with her head down.

I was going to choose a house together today and reward him after moving together.

Now, just watch and think about it—Shen Jie has made up her mind.

She looked up and looked at the wall, but there was no clock there.

I had to look at my phone.

It's past 8 o'clock.

He hasn't come back yet.

Here he chooses a house, moves, packs, and cleans, but he, Xiao Yao, ran away with the little vixen openly.

Taking a step back is getting more and more angry.

Shen Jie hugged her head and squeezed out an inexplicable cry like a little fox from her mouth.

Dinner was with Hairtail and Yan Xiao, and they ate anywhere downstairs.

In order to thank the two for their hard work, of course she, Shen Jie, paid the bill.

How long has it been since you came back?One hour?two hours?

Should enough be enough?

Shen Jie finally couldn't bear it anymore and dialed Yu Luying's phone number.

"Beep—hello, the number you dialed is currently in use."

Oh yes, this little hoof blocked my call in the morning, oh no, in the afternoon.

Shen Jie stood up, using the narrow spring-steel wire bed as a trampoline, jumping on it while bursting out indecent curses in the Modu dialect.

The girl quickly stopped this strenuous exercise, because big beads of sweat had already begun to ooze from her forehead.

She put her head on the path that the oscillating fan could blow, but what she got was a gust of hot wind.

It's a bit outrageous, it should be already dark, right?

Shen Jie has no way of judging, because the small single room separated from this room has no windows, as long as the door is closed and the light is not turned on, it will be dark.

It does sound a bit like a dungeon, but it's quite suitable for a deep sleep.

She sat down quietly on this 1.5-person-wide wire spring bed, turned off the light, and immersed herself in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers.

There is only near-absolute darkness, but there is no Jinglan to match it.

The reason, of course, is that the partitions around her, which can be euphemistically called walls, do not have the sound insulation function that walls should have.

She could hear the tapping of slippers in the hallway, loud coughing from next door, and muffled voices of men and women.

These voices sounded as if they were far away in the sky, yet close to their ears.

Shen Jie discerned and pondered whether these were the conversations of the neighbors or the voices from their TV sets.

...But why on earth am I thinking of such a thing?Everything is fine, right?

Go to sleep, as long as you sleep for a while, Xiao Yao will come over.

... I am not looking forward to the fact that he can't get over it, Shen Jie said to herself.

Shen Jie turned over a little annoyed.

Then turned over again.

After 3 minutes, flip again.

Damn, can't sleep.

Shen Jie sat up and searched intuitively in the dark.

She actually found it.

The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, and turned on the air conditioner in the room with a beep.

The old lady of the landlady seems to say that there is an extra electricity bill for turning on the air conditioner, but don't worry about her?
Press the temperature of the air conditioner to 18°.

I feel better.

The girl squeezed her legs together and thought for a while in the dark.

Then, carefully lift the quilt.

……

Lying down at home, you have to be so relaxed and comfortable.

She took off all her clothes and wrapped herself in the quilt.

I wanted to take off my socks at first, but suddenly felt a sense of enveloping them, which was very comfortable, so I didn't take them off for now.

……

Shen Jie let out a long breath, and she felt drenched in sweat again.

Time to take a shower.

The girl knew that the bathroom and toilet were at the end of this long corridor.

A bathroom is shared by a dozen or twenty families on the second floor. When she has no confidence to go by herself, she will definitely not line up outside the door.

And... have to get dressed.

Shen Jie sat up, fumbling with her hand on the wall, and turned on a light bulb.

Her eyes had been silent in the darkness for too long, and the light bulb was so sudden and dazzling that she stretched out her palm unconsciously, with the palm facing outward and the back of her hand facing inward, blocking her eyes.

After adapting to the light in the room, Shen Jie put down her hands, pulled off her socks, and rolled them up, aiming at the temporary laundry basket she set up in the corner.

"Hey~~~whew!"

The two balls of socks drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

Beautiful feint, three-pointer!

Falling outside!
Shen Jie lifted the quilt, jumped out of the bed with bare arms and feet, ran to the laundry basket, picked up the socks, and threw them in.

Then she went to her luggage bag and found her long nightdress.

This nightdress is loose, conservative, and elegant. Even if it is seen by male neighbors in the hallway, it will not feel inappropriate or disadvantaged.

After getting dressed, Shen Jie didn't go to the bathroom to try her luck immediately, but sat back on the edge of the bed and looked around her "new home" in the next few days.

The room was not small, about a dozen square meters. There was a light bulb hanging above the door, and the public corridor was outside the door.

The so-called "house with bare walls" is the perfect way to describe this place, because the only furniture in the room is the bed in the corner, and the laundry basket in the other corner - that was just put by Shen Jie. Yes, there is nothing else.

Yes, no table, no chairs, no TV cabinet, not even a small bench, and no mirror.

The decoration is purely rough, but at least the wall was whitewashed. Although it looks gray now, it is undeniable that it has been whitewashed.

There are several heavy luggage bags piled up in the third corner, which are his own and Xiao Yao's. They haven't been opened much yet, just like that, thrown there casually.

On the top of the luggage bag is a socket, the bottom is a triangle, and the top is two holes.

Shen Jie walked over and plugged her mobile phone charger into the two-hole socket, while the mobile phone body was hanging crookedly on a luggage bag.

It seems that such a residence can hardly be called a "home", at best it is a "place to sleep".

Shen Jie lay back on the bed again, staring at the empty ceiling, in a daze.

An indescribable emptiness and panic crawled all over her body.

She felt that at such a young age, she had already become a deeply dissatisfied woman who was eagerly looking forward to her husband's return.

This is obviously wrong.

When he ran away from home for the first time, Xiao Yao hadn't had the summer vacation yet, and he had similar feelings when he went to school during the day and was shut up at Xiao Yao's grandma's house.

But the feeling at that time was only three to one-fourth compared to what it is now.

Shen Jie hugged her knees and curled herself up.

I remember that during the Chinese New Year this year, a distant cousin, who seemed to be around 30, came to our house as a guest.

When playing cards with the seven and eight aunts in the family, I said how terrible it is to get married.

"One glance at the end," the cousin chattered, "husband, child, busy around this house, one glance at the end, seventy and eighty. There will be no more dreams, expectations, and no more romance. Meeting the miracle of love around the corner... In this life, that's it."

"That's how people are," said another female relative, "doing a job that I don't like, doing housework that I don't like, marrying a husband I don't like, watching TV that I don't like... This life will soon be over. It will be over."

At that time, Shen Jie had nothing to "take it for granted" about this, she just thought it was hypocrisy and the restlessness of middle-aged women.

And I'm... 17 years old.

I should have something that belongs to me, something that I should have at my age, something that belongs to a girl, a life that belongs to youth.

Maybe it's like what Yan Xiao said, you can have a romantic relationship, but you shouldn't... you shouldn't...

And if there is any empathy with the cousins ​​now...?
It was terrible, it was beyond terrible, it was a catastrophe.

For a moment, she didn't know who to blame.Shen Hongsheng, Xiao Yao, or herself?Or is it my future self...?
If on that day, when Xiao Yao came to the city's Seventh Girls Middle School to find himself, he would say to him very rationally and freely: "Even if you are my future husband, please follow the arrangement of fate and live your life according to the original track." , waiting for the day when you meet me for the first time."... What?
So what kind of life should I live now?
While thinking wildly, Shen Jie subconsciously turned the ring on her left ring finger.

It seems that the size is still slightly smaller, and the base of the fingers is aching from the hoop.

One day I will take it to the silver building, please master to change it a little...

Just thinking about it like this, I finally stared in a daze, and my consciousness became blurred.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep—it probably wasn't long—she was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Shen Jie asked.

"Little girl, are you asleep?" The landlord's grandmother's kind voice came from outside the door: "There is a young man who wants to find you. He said his surname is Xiao."

Shen Jie jumped out of the bed, ran to the door, and pulled open the fire hydrant.

Then he rushed back to the bed and lay face to the wall: "You let him in!"

Shen Jie heard the sound of the door being pushed open and closed again.

Shen Jie heard footsteps, and then the sound of basketball shoes being taken off and falling to the ground.

Shen Jie felt that the quilt on her body was lifted from behind by someone, and then the person went straight in.

Shen Jie was hugged by a warm embrace and a pair of strong arms from behind.

She curled up: "Who are you?"

"Hello classmate, I am your future husband." Said the boy's voice.

"Then who am I?" Shen Jie buried her head deeply in the quilt.

"You are my wife, don't doubt it!" the boy said firmly.

"No, I'm Miao Mama~~Who told you to go to bed wearing a coat and trousers?" Shen Jie exclaimed, "Why are you still wet?! Are you going to die?!"

The boy let go of himself, lifted the quilt, and jumped out of bed.

Shen Jie tightly grasped the corner of the quilt.

This "sleeping place" is still a bit "home" after all.

Just a little oh!
"Serve me." Facing the wall, Shen Jie ordered softly.

"Huh?" said the man. (end of this chapter)
