Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 199 Is He Really Xiao Shen's Brother?

Xu Chu Ning did not reply to this message.

It seems a bit against my will to say no, but it also seems a bit straightforward to say yes.

Fortunately, the person on the other end didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't send any more messages.

After dinner, Xu Chuning chatted with the grandparents for a while. The elderly go to bed early, so after chatting for a while, Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang prepared to send them back.

Before leaving, the two told Xu Chuning, "Go home for dinner if you have nothing else to do."

Xu Chuning nodded: "I know."

After a few people left, there were fewer customers in the store.

You Shuzhen still had to make a final summary in the store. She looked at the two sisters and said, "Ningning, do you want to go back with grandma first?"

Xu Chuning paused, thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

After agreeing to You Shuzhen, Xu Chuning sent a message to Shen Yubai: [We are ready to go home. ]

Shen Yubai: [I'll be there in five minutes.]

Xu Chuning: [Then you will come back with me later? I need to send grandma home first.]

Shen Yubai: [Okay.]

After he sent this message, he added: [Shen Sinian is here too. ]

Xu Chuning was not a surprise.

After Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian arrived, Shen Yubai asked the driver to take them home first.

Knowing that Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai were going to go shopping again, You Ying took the initiative to say, "I'll just go back with grandma."

Xu Chu Ning was worried: "I'll go with you."

"What about Brother Yubai and the others..." You Ying hesitated.

Xu Chuning: "They are helping mom do some work in the store."

The car can't accommodate so many people.

You Ying burst out laughing, "That's fine."

The driver took Xu Chuning, You Ying and the other two home. After he sent grandma and You Ying home, Xu Chuning turned around and went back to the restaurant.

When she returned to the restaurant, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian were helping Ms. You Shuzhen settle the bill.

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and took a closer look. "Do you understand?"

Shen Sinian: "Ningning, why are you back so soon?"

Xu Chu Ning: "This place is quite close to home."

The restaurant's location was very good, very close to where he currently lived. If there was no traffic jam, it would only take Xu Chu Ning half an hour to go back and forth.

Of course, it has to be a private car.

Seeing her turn back, You Shuzhen smiled and asked, "Where are you going to play later?"

Xu Chu Ning looked at Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai: "We're not going anywhere. Let's just walk around here."

He glanced at Xu Chuning, then turned to ask You Shuzhen: "Aunt You, are you going back to Pingning to celebrate the New Year this year?"

You Shuzhen: "Yes."

After she answered, she remembered something and looked at Xu Chu Ning, "Ning Ning, do you want to go back?"

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, "Mom, you don't want me to go back?"

"..." You Shuzhen laughed, "Why wouldn't I want you to go back? If you go back to Pingning with us, what will happen to your parents?"

Xu Chuning paused for a moment. She indeed had not thought about this question seriously.

She had always returned to Pingning in previous years, and she intuitively felt that this year would be no exception. However, her relationship with Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang had eased somewhat, and they had become a normal family.

Xu Zhiyan is no longer in the Xu family. If she returns to Pingning, they will be the only two of them together during the New Year.

When he was young, Xu Chuning didn’t quite understand the word reunion.

As she grew up, she gradually understood a little bit. The elders all wanted to be with their children, and they all looked forward to their children coming home to have a reunion dinner.

Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang may be no exception.

Seeing Xu Chuning's hesitation, You Shuzhen said softly: "It will take at least ten days before we go home, you can take your time to think about it."

Xu Chuning nodded hesitantly.

After settling the bill, You Shuzhen asked the three of them to go out and play.

Before leaving the restaurant, Xu Chu Ning asked her, "What time will you be back? We'll just walk around and come back."

You Shuzhen thought for a moment and said, "In an hour, can you guys do that?"

Shen Yubai: "Sure, Aunt You, I'll bring Ningning back to you in an hour."

You Shuzhen: "Be careful."

The three of them walked out of the restaurant, and Shen Sinian turned his head to look at Xu Chuning, "Ningning."

Xu Chuning came back to his senses: "Hmm?"

Shen Sinian: "Don't worry too much. If you want to go back to Pingning, go back to Pingning. Anyway, I support you."

"..." Xu Chu Ning was amused by Shen Sinian's words, and his eyebrows curved: "I know."

She was silent for three seconds, "Let me think about it."

Shen Yubai: "Let's go to the arcade?"

He suggested, "You just finished the exam, relax for a while."

Xu Chuning had no objection.

The three of them went to the video game arcade to play games, and Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian taught Xu Chuning together.

Unfortunately, Xu Chuning really had no talent for games, and even with two people teaching her together, she still couldn't learn it.

After playing games for half an hour, Xu Chuning wanted to play archery.

Shen Yubai naturally agreed to accompany him unconditionally.

After playing until the agreed time, the two of them sent Xu Chuning back to the restaurant.

When we arrived at the restaurant, You Shuzhen had just finished her work.

The mother and daughter went home together. On the way home, Xu Chuning took You Shuzhen's arm and acted coquettishly with her, "Mom, are you tired of running a restaurant?"

She has been busy reviewing recently and hasn't paid much attention to You Shuzhen.

You Shuzhen chuckled, "It's hard to say I'm not tired, but I'm not particularly tired either."

She feels that her current life is very fulfilling and she likes it very much.

At this point, You Shuzhen looked up at the sky and said with some emotion, "It's a pity that there are no stars here."

Xu Chu Ning was startled and realized that she missed her father.

"Dad will definitely see it." She comforted You Shuzhen.

You Shuzhen smiled and patted the back of her hand. "I believe he can see it."

She told Xu Chuning, "After I found Yingying, I don't have any more extravagant hopes."

From the beginning to the end, You Shuzhen had only one wish: to bring You Ying home.

Xu Chu Ning understood, "Now that she's back, you still need to take care of your health."

You Shuzhen: "Yes, I want to see you go to college, graduate from college, and then get married."

"..."

"Isn't it too early to get married?" Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I haven't even graduated from high school yet."

You Shuzhen: "There's still half a year left."

Xu Chu Ning calculated: "It's been less than half a year."

"Yes." You Shuzhen sighed, "Time flies so fast."

Xu Chuning nodded in agreement.

After a moment of silence, You Shuzhen remembered something and asked, "Ningning."

Xu Chuning: "Hmm?"

"Si Nian..." You Shuzhen always felt that the way Shen Si Nian, Xu Chuning, and Shen Yubai got along was a little strange. She tilted her head to look at Xu Chuning and asked hesitantly, "Is he really Xiao Shen's brother?"

She emphasized, "It's his uncle's son."

Xu Chu Ning was shocked and said, "Mom, why are you asking that?"

You Shuzhen frowned, "I don't think so."

Xu Chu Ning: "...what's not similar?"

"I can't really put it into words." You Shuzhen looked at her and said, "I feel like when you and Si Nian are together, it's a bit like the way we get along."
