Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 173 Who do you choose?

When seeing this sentence, Xu Chu Ning was suddenly stunned.

If she had not been replaced, she and Shen Yubai would have been childhood sweethearts.

Most definitely.

However, there are too many things in this world that have no ifs. She has lost something, and she has gained something.

Xu Chu Ning had never thought about this problem seriously before, but now thinking about it...it's actually a bit regrettable. If she and Shen Yubai grew up together and knew each other since childhood, would they be like the childhood sweethearts in novels, growing up with each other, knowing each other inside and out, and talking about everything with each other?

Noticing Xu Chu Ning's silence, Shen Yubai then asked: [Why are you silent? ]

Xu Chuning came back to his senses: […I was busy just now.]

She didn't really want Shen Yubai to know that she was fantasizing that they were childhood sweethearts.

Shen Yubai: [...Okay.]

Xu Chu Ning took the initiative to change the subject: [Well, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m a little sleepy.]

Shen Yubai: [Good night.]

Xu Chuning: [Good night.]

Putting down the phone, Xu Chu Ning rolled over in the quilt.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but her brain was uncontrollably thinking that she and Shen Yubai were childhood sweethearts.

That night, Xu Chu Ning had another dream, a very long and beautiful dream.

In her dream, she grew up in the Xu family. She was not replaced by someone at birth. She and Shen Yubai had known each other since childhood. Shen Yubai was a few months older than her, and she called him - Brother Yubai.

Shen Yubai has been aloof since he was young and doesn't like to talk to anyone.

When she looked for him, he sometimes ignored her.

Xu Chuning thought he hated her, but when they graduated from high school, he suddenly confessed to her and asked her if she wanted to date him.

Xu Chu Ning was puzzled, and before he could ask further, he asked - Don’t you hate me?

Alert rings.

After turning off the alarm clock, Xu Chuning opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She turned over a little embarrassedly and raised her hand to touch her hot ears. What was wrong with her? Why would she dream about such a thing?

Is this what she really thinks deep down?

Thinking of this, Xu Chuning despised himself a little.

No, no.

She shouldn't think too much, studying is the most important thing now.

Because of this dream, when Shen Yubai went to the shop to have breakfast, Xu Chuning didn't dare to look him in the eye. She was afraid that he would see through her and know that she was imagining him.

Shen Yubai naturally sensed that something was wrong with her.

He couldn't help but frown, thinking that what he said last night was too blunt and bothered her.

For a moment, Shen Yubai also had a headache.

The two of them had different thoughts, and their absent-mindedness was so obvious that Shen Sinian was confused.

He looked left and right, wanting to ask a few questions, but knew it was inappropriate.

In the end, Shen Sinian didn't want to care about the two of them anymore.

What made Xu Chu Ning feel relieved was that Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian left after breakfast.

After the two of them left, she could go back to running the shop as usual.

The holidays passed faster than expected.

In the blink of an eye, it was November.

In November, You Shuzhen found and decided on a storefront for her shop.

However, the store needs to be renovated, which will take about a month. It will take at least until mid-December before everything is ready to open the store.

You Shuzhen didn't let Xu Chuning take care of the store, she wanted her to focus on school.

Mid-November is the time for the school sports meet at Meiji Junior High School.

Senior students do not participate in most high school sports meets, but Meiji Junior High School attaches great importance to student exercise, so Xu Chuning, a senior student, still has to participate, and as a result, he gets a three-day vacation.

Xu Chuning was persuaded by the sports committee member to sign up for the 400-meter relay race, while Deng Xitong signed up for the 100-meter sprint.

Shen Sinian, because of his good endurance, was persuaded to sign up for the men's 3,000 meters.

As for Shen Yubai and the others, Xu Chuning and others only found out after Shen Sinian registered that Shen Yubai was also running 3,000 meters.

After this news spread, new rumors related to Xu Chuning appeared in the school.

Some people said that Shen Yubai also signed up for the 3,000-meter race, obviously to compete fairly with Shen Sinian. Others said that Shen Yubai signed up first and it was Shen Sinian who wanted to provoke him.

Of course, some people also asked, even if Xu Chuning is Xu Yiming's daughter, she is not that good, so why is she worth the two school handsome guys fighting over her?

Yes, during the time when Xu Chuning was not paying attention to the forum, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian were voted by their classmates and became the new school idols of Meiji Junior High School.

And she was also photographed by an unknown classmate and posted to the campus beauty contest forum, where she received a lot of votes.

Of course, it is a bit regrettable that Xu Chuning failed to become the school belle. The school belle was a girl in the second year of high school with a bright appearance. Xu Chuning met her once and very much approved of her to be elected the school belle.

The other person is really beautiful.

She was ashamed of herself.

However, Shen Sinian felt that she was prettier than the other.

Xu Chuning called this a filter. The son always has a beautiful and special filter for his mother.

"Ningning, have you heard?" Deng Xitong asked her, "Shen Yubai also signed up for the 3,000-meter race."

Xu Chu Ning tilted his head to look at her, "I heard about it. I've heard even more outrageous things."

Seeing the helplessness on her face, Deng Xitong burst out laughing, "Everyone is bored."

To be honest, if Deng Xitong was not too familiar with Xu Chuning, and was also familiar with Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian, she would also think that Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian both liked Xu Chuning, and that it was the kind of love that she liked.

Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Let them say whatever they want. It won't affect me anyway."

"Yes." Deng Xitong nodded, and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, everyone is still betting."

Xu Chu Ning: “?”

She blinked blankly, "What bet?"

"It was at 3,000 meters." Deng Xitong told her, "They were guessing who you would deliver water to."

Xu Chuning: “…………”

She was silent for a while, then looked at Deng Xitong, "Isn't it illegal for me to deliver water to both of them?"

Deng Xitong groaned and blinked slowly: "I don't think it's illegal."

Xu Chuning: "Is that right?"

Deng Xitong: "Yes, so I went to place the bet."

She chuckled and said, "Thank you for telling me the choice. I will choose the middle one and make some money."

"..." Xu Chu Ning was stunned, his eyes widened as he asked, "You guys are still playing with money? Isn't this gambling?"

Deng Xitong: "It's just one cent. The school won't care."

Xu Chu Ning was speechless and choked up. He raised his hand to support his forehead and said, "You go."

Deng Xitong: “Yes.”

After chatting with Deng Xitong, Xu Chuning clearly felt that many classmates were looking at her and whispering. They wanted to go forward but didn't dare to.

Finally, the girl sitting in front of Xu Chuning couldn't help but speak out: "Xu Chuning, can we ask you a question?"

Xu Chu Ning: “…Okay.”

"Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian, who do you choose?" The girl was extremely curious, "Who do you prefer?"

Xu Chu Ning raised her eyes and asked with a smile: "Can I choose no one?"

People around: “Ah?”

The school hadn't even finished yet that day and there was a new version.

Xu Chuning doesn't like Shen Yubai or Shen Sinian, she has someone else she likes.

"..."
