Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 119 I miss you

Xu Chu Ning knew that the hotel’s sound insulation was not very good.

But isn’t knocking on the wall a bit too much?

After closing the door, Xu Chuning involuntarily turned her head to look at the wall behind the bed. She couldn't help but think, if she knocked on the wall, would Shen Yubai really be able to hear it?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Chu Ning began to despise himself, wondering what a mess he was thinking.

She raised her hand to tap her head, then sat down at the table and prepared to eat.

After opening the things Shen Yubai brought for her, Xu Chu Ning picked up her phone and sent him a message: [Why did you buy so much for me? ]

She doesn't have that big an appetite.

Shen Yubai replied quickly: [I don’t know what you want to eat, so I bought a little bit of everything.]

Xu Chuning: […If you can’t finish it, it will be a waste.]

Shen Yubai: [It’s not a lot, you eat first.]

Xu Chu Ning looked down at the food on the table and replied: [Yes, thank you.]

Shen Yubai: [I'll take a nap. Call me if you need anything.]

Xu Chuning: [Okay.]

After finishing the conversation with Shen Yubai, Xu Chuning started to eat. In addition to the food, Shen Yubai also bought her a bottle of lemon tea. In the hot summer, she had to drink cold drinks.

After drinking half a cup of lemon tea, Xu Chuning felt that he had an appetite.

Before he knew it, Xu Chu Ning had finished the three dishes that Shen Yubai bought, including half a bowl of rice.

For a moment, Xu Chuning felt a little embarrassed, as she seemed to have eaten too much.

After cleaning up the leftovers, Xu Chuning walked around the room and took out a book from the suitcase, preparing to read for a while before going to bed.

Xu Chuning spent the first afternoon in Linqiu in an anxious yet fulfilling way.

In the evening, Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning went to the police station. The police station was nearby, so they didn't ask Brother Wang to take them there.

Arriving at the police station, Xu Chuning met the policeman who said he had found clues about Li Xiaonan. After negotiating with him, the policeman told her that because of a fire in the orphanage, all the previously saved files were gone. The orphans who had been with Li Xiaonan were also adopted one after another. For this reason, they have not yet found anyone who remembers where Li Xiaonan was adopted.

He apologized to Xu Chuning.

Xu Chu Ning shook his head and said gently: "You have worked hard enough."

She would like to express her gratitude to the police officers.

Xu Chuning remembered Shen Sinian saying that in the future world, they found Li Xiaonan after she and Shen Yubai graduated from college and got married. Now that they have clues about her, it is already a gift to her and You Shuzhen.

Coming out of the police station, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai walked forward slowly.

After walking for a while, Shen Yubai stopped and said, "Don't blame yourself."

Xu Chu Ning was slightly startled, and looked up at him, "Shen Yubai."

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes, and the moment his eyes met hers, his heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and a sour bubble appeared. He responded solemnly, "What's wrong?"

"Thank you." Xu Chu Ning said sincerely.

Shen Yubai was slightly stunned. "The person hasn't been found yet. It's too early to thank you."

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes and said, "It's not too early."

She should have said thank you to him.

Seeing her stubborn look, Shen Yubai raised his hand and pulled her to sit on the stone bench next to him. He said in a light tone: "Are you feeling frustrated right now?" He asked her, "Do you want to give up?"

"How is that possible?" Xu Chu Ning retorted loudly, "I was just wondering where she is and whether she is doing well right now."

Shen Yubai paused, and seeing that she was in a low mood, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but he felt that it was too abrupt and she would be disgusted.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yubai raised his hand and patted her head to comfort her, "Don't worry, she will be fine."

He reminded Xu Chuning, "Did you forget? Shen Sinian said that we met her later."

Xu Chu Ning opened her mouth and said, "I know, but I want to prevent what will happen to her in the future."

At least, she cannot be allowed to marry the family that Shen Sinian mentioned.

Shen Yubai understood. He was silent for a moment and assured Xu Chuning, "We already have clues about her. We will definitely find her faster than we will in the future."

"..."

Xu Chu Ning thought about it, and said after regaining his composure, "I think so too."

With Shen Yubai's encouragement, Xu Chuning felt a little more confident about finding Li Xiaonan. She raised her bright eyes and looked at him, "Shall we go back to the hotel now?"

Shen Yubai: "Since we are here, why don't we just take a stroll?"

He had never been to such a remote town.

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning looked around and asked, "What are you shopping for?"

There is not much to visit in the town, only a few small shops are open. Apart from that, there is no nightlife or colorful entertainment in big cities.

Shen Yubai seemed to have noticed this problem as well. He raised his hand and touched his nose. "Let's go eat."

The two haven't had dinner yet.

Xu Chuning nodded, "Where's Brother Wang?"

"I'll ask him." Shen Yubai took out his cell phone and called Brother Wang.

Brother Wang said he was too lazy to run around and asked them to solve the problem themselves. He would just eat something nearby the hotel.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai found a restaurant in the center of town that looked pretty good.

After a simple meal, the two walked back to the hotel slowly. When they were about to reach the hotel, Xu Chuning's cell phone rang, and she looked down and saw that it was Shen Sinian calling.

"Hello." Xu Chu Ning picked up the phone with a slight smile on his lips, in a good mood.

Shen Sinian's clean and cold voice rang in my ears, "Ningning, have you eaten?"

Xu Chu Ning chuckled, "I just ate, how about you?"

Shen Sinian: "I ate a long time ago. I just finished filming and was about to go back to the hotel."

He asked Xu Chuning, "How is Linqiu? Are you okay? What are you doing now?"

"..."

Shen Sinian always has a lot of problems.

Every time Xu Chu Ning heard his voice, her tense mood would relax a lot. "I'm still outside right now. I just went to the police station."

Shen Sinian was stunned and asked quickly, "Did Shen Yubai accompany you?"

Xu Chu Ning subconsciously turned his head to look at the person next to him and hummed vaguely: "Yes."

Shen Sinian: "That's fine."

The mother and son chatted for a while, and when they were about to hang up, Shen Sinian was still a little reluctant, "I miss you."

Xu Chu Ning burst into laughter, curved his eyes and said, "I missed you, too."

Shen Yubai, who heard these two sentences at the side, raised his eyelids calmly and snorted with ambiguous laughter.

Xu Chuning: “…”

She turned her head to look at him, and Shen Yubai looked back at her with a frank expression, even asking - what are you looking at.

Xu Chu Ning was speechless. After hanging up the phone, she spoke, "What did you hum just now?"

Shen Yubai frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why is Shen Sinian still so noisy after joining the group?"

"..." Xu Chu Ning choked slightly and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that Shen Sinian would know that you said that about him?"

Hearing this, Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows, "Why should I be afraid?"

What he said was clearly the truth.
