Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 172 Childhood Sweethearts

On the way back, Xu Yiming drove the car with Ye Qiongfang to send the two of them back.

On the way, Ye Qiongfang chatted with the two and asked her how she felt.

Xu Chu Ning smiled and said, "It's OK. It's not as stressful as I thought."

Xu Yiming: "They like you very much."

Xu Chu Ning responded: "I know."

She could feel it.

A few people chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the entrance of the community.

The car stopped and Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian got out together.

"Be careful when you go back." Xu Chuning reminded.

Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang nodded and agreed: "Go to bed early."

"it is good."

Watching the backs of Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian walking into the community together, Ye Qiongfang couldn't help but sigh, "...When can Ningning go back to the Xu family with us?"

Xu Yiming knew his wife's concern, so he held her hand and said, "Don't worry, take your time."

Ye Qiongfang nodded and said softly, "I'm not in a hurry, I just want my home to be more lively."

Xu Yiming: "Yes, don't worry."

"..."

Xu Chuning knew what Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang were thinking, but she couldn't leave You Shuzhen for the time being.

After separating from them and returning to the community, when they walked downstairs, Shen Sinian suddenly turned around and looked at her, "Ningning."

Xu Chu Ning looked up, "Hmm?"

Shen Sinian opened his arms, "Do you want a hug?"

He could sense the sadness in Xu Chuning and he wanted to comfort her.

Looking at the young man in front of him who opened his arms towards him, Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Okay."

She smiled and hugged Shen Sinian.

In just a few seconds, the two separated.

But within just a few seconds, a person came out from behind.

The three of them stared at each other for a few seconds. When they felt Shen Yubai's death gaze coming towards them, Shen Sinian timidly raised his hand and said, "I think I can explain it."

Shen Yubai snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Chuning opposite him, and said nothing.

Xu Chuning: “…”

She and Shen Sinian are mother and son, what's wrong with them hugging each other?

Thinking about it, Xu Chu Ning asked with a little confidence, "Why are you here?"

Shen Yubai: "...running."

Only then did Xu Chuning notice that he had a headband tied in his hair and there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the two of them, "What are you doing hugging here?"

Shen Sinian: “…”

Xu Chuning: "...Don't make it sound like we did something bad behind your back."

Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows: "No?"

"Of course not." Xu Chu Ning was speechless.

Shen Yubai snorted arrogantly, "Let's go."

Seeing his back as he walked towards the elevator, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian looked at each other and said, "Let's go."

The two followed Shen Yubai into the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Xu Chu Ning secretly glanced at the expression on Shen Yubai's face - very cold, really very cold.

Soon, the elevator arrived at Xu Chuning's floor.

She took a step forward and looked at the two of them. "I'm going to go back first. You two should get some rest early."

Shen Sinian nodded: "Good night."

Xu Chu Ning: "...Good night."

The elevator door closes.

Shen Sinian turned his head to look at the cold person next to him and whispered, "You and Ningning are not in a relationship now."

Shen Yubai didn't even look at him.

Shen Sinian really felt wronged, "I'm her son, and I can't hug her?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him coldly.

Shen Sinian: "...You can't do this."

Shen Yubai raised his eyes: "Why not?"

"Ningning doesn't like stingy men." Shen Sinian said.

Hearing this, Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you know?"

"She told me about this before." Shen Sinian said, "I remember you guys had a fight over this."

Shen Yubai frowned: "Fighting?"

"It seems that there was a partner who was always courting Ningning, and you hated him, so you told Ningning not to associate with him." Shen Sinian didn't remember it very clearly, "It was probably this incident, and the two of you were in a cold war for a week."

That week, Shen Sinian had a hard time.

They live under the same roof, but they just don't talk to each other.

When they need to communicate occasionally, they would ask Shen Sinian to act as a middleman and pass the message.

When talking about this matter, Shen Sinian felt aggrieved, very aggrieved.

Shen Yubai: "..."

Will he actually have a cold war with Xu Chuning in the future?

Not likely.

"Impossible." Thinking of this, Shen Yubai glanced at Shen Sinian, "I'm not such a stingy person."

Shen Sinian was speechless and choked up. He couldn't help but say, "You are quite stingy now."

He is Xu Chuning's son. When she hugged him, he looked at her with a cold face.

Shen Yubai choked.

The elevator door opened again, and Shen Sinian didn't say much to Shen Yubai, "Anyway, that's it. Don't give Ningning the impression that you're stingy. She won't like that."

"..." Shen Yubai was silent for a while, then said depressedly: "I know, go to bed early."

Shen Sinian: “Yeah.”

"Wait." When Shen Sinian opened the door, Shen Yubai called him again.

Shen Sinian turned around: "What's wrong?"

"Did she have dinner?" Shen Yubai asked, "Nothing happened? Did she get along well with Grandpa Xu and the others?"

Shen Yubai is still very concerned about this issue.

"It's OK." Shen Sinian told him, "They are very good to Ningning."

Shen Yubai felt relieved.

"But I think Ningning is a little sad." Shen Sinian added, "I hugged her just now because I saw that she was disappointed."

Shen Yubai frowned: "Sad?"

Shen Sinian: "Maybe she feels regretful."

Shen Yubai was silent for a moment, then hummed softly, "Got it."

The father and son didn't chat for too long before going back to their respective rooms to wash up and rest.

After taking a shower, Shen Yubai glanced at An Jing's phone, opened QQ and sent a message to the person downstairs: [Are you asleep? ]

Xu Chuning: [Practicing calligraphy.]

Ever since Shen Yubai gave her the copybook during the summer vacation, whenever she finished practicing, Shen Yubai would give it to her to complete.

After practicing for half an hour every day, Xu Chuning's handwriting is much better than before.

Therefore, she found the motivation to practice calligraphy.

Shen Yubai: [Did you enjoy your meal today? ]

Xu Chuning: [It's OK, why do you ask? ]

Shen Yubai: [Show some concern.]

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, and vaguely guessed why Shen Yubai asked this question. She held the phone in a daze for a moment, and replied to him: [It’s okay, I just can’t help but think divergently, if I hadn’t been replaced, would my relationship with them be closer. ]

Shen Yubai: [Feeling regretful?]

Xu Chuning: [A little bit at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I think it’s good that I was replaced.]

If she had not been replaced, she would not have met You Shuzhen, let alone been adopted by her.

Everything is actually destined.

Xu Chuning thought about her life if it had not been replaced. She could have lived a life of luxury since childhood, got everything she wanted, and lived a life that others envied.

But if she can't see You Shuzhen, she will lose a mother and a grandmother.

After thinking about it, Xu Chu Ning felt that it would be better for her to be replaced.

She likes herself now and her current life.

Shen Yubai: [Actually, I have thought about it.]

Xu Chuning: [What?]

Shen Yubai: [If you hadn’t been replaced, we would have been childhood sweethearts. ]
