Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

Because of this, she was highly regarded by her teachers, who taught her more.

After rubbing her wrist, Shen Xingchen picked up the paper to check, and suddenly realized that her bedroom door was open and there was someone at the door.

Turning around, Shen Xingchen was startled to see Shen Li standing at the door of her bedroom. She shouted in surprise, "Uncle."

Shen Xingchen was surprised because they hadn't met alone for a long time, Shen Li hadn't entered her room for a long time, and she hadn't gone to look for Shen Li either.

And every time he came back before, he didn't go home.

In fact, Shen Li did reply, but he replied very late, so Shen Xingchen didn't know about it.

So at this moment, Shen Xingchen was very surprised to see him suddenly appear in front of him.

She thought Shen Li didn't like her, and that Shen Li had been taking care of her for so many years and was already tired of her.

Shen Li couldn't tell what he felt when he saw Shen Xingchen's surprise.

After all, she was always extremely happy when she saw herself before.

During the two years she was in college, there was obviously a big distance between them, and they didn't even talk much.

At the beginning, he deliberately avoided Shen Xingchen.

Later, he no longer avoided Shen Xingchen, but she had long since stopped sticking to him.

Hearing Shen Xingchen calling him uncle, Shen Li calmly asked, "I'm doing my homework."

"Yeah." Shen Xingchen stood up from his chair: "I'm writing a paper."

There is not as much homework in college as in high school. Most of it is academic papers.

After responding to Shen Li, Shen Xingchen walked away from the desk, his eyes accidentally fell on his bed, and he found his underwear thrown casually on the bed. Shen Xingchen immediately felt embarrassed, and quickly walked to the bed and quickly stuffed the underwear on the bed under the pillow.

Then he turned to look at Shen Li and asked awkwardly: "Uncle, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Shen Xingchen's series of actions and her polite question made Shen Li clearly feel a sense of distance, a great distance.

In the past, Shen Xingchen was not at all formal with him, let alone throwing clothes around randomly. Even when she was 18 years old, she would just fall into bed and sleep when she went to his room, without any formality.

Looking at Shen Xingchen, Shen Li couldn't help but sigh again that time flies so fast.

Shen Xingchen has indeed grown up.

Shen Li looked at her, and Shen Xingchen stood there seriously, like an elementary school student who had done something wrong.

But in fact, she did nothing wrong.

She didn't know why, but Shen Li's sudden arrival made her nervous and uncomfortable.

She didn't even have the energy to think about the past.

She couldn't remember how good Shen Li was to her in the past, nor could she remember how he kept a distance from her later on. Her mind was blank and she just wanted to stay away from him.

Shen Xingchen has been like this since he was a child.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Two years ago, she was rejected by Shen Li to intern in the company and was arranged by him to be Gu Nanyue's assistant.

She thought she had caused him trouble and that Shen Li didn't like her, so she didn't dare to get close to him anymore, let alone think about it any more.

What's more, she was just an adopted child of the Shen family.

During the next two years of college, whenever Shen Xingchen thought of his previous wishful thinking, he felt that he was too ignorant of the immensity of the world.

She has nothing, so what can she use to secretly love others or like others?

So, since Shen Li didn't like her, she would stay away from him, so far away that she would never bother him again, and would not even appear in front of him.

Inferiority.

Shen Xingchen knew very well that she was feeling inferior.

She had no way to control her inferiority complex, so she could only choose to avoid it.

Shen Xingchen was so awkward that Shen Li asked calmly, "When are you going back to school?"

Shen Xingchen quickly replied: "The day after tomorrow, the flight at noon the day after tomorrow."

If possible, she would like to go to the airport and go back to school now, but she has promised her aunt and grandmother to stay at home for a few more days.

It’s not that I don’t remember the Shen family’s kindness, nor that I don’t want to repay them, it’s just that I don’t have the ability now.

Seeing that Shen Xingchen seemed to be nervous, and she answered honestly whatever he asked, Shen Li withdrew his gaze darkly: "I know, I'm going back to my room, you rest."

"Okay." Shen Xingchen nodded, and then said, "Good night, uncle."

In the past, she always said goodnight to Shen Li in a relaxed and cheerful manner. But now, whenever she talked to Shen Li, especially when they were alone, she always kept a certain distance.

"Yeah." Shen Li responded to her indifferently, then closed her door and left her room.

In the room, Shen Xingchen heard the door slam shut with a clang. She covered her chest and let out a long breath, then sat down on the bed weakly.

She thought that this time when Shen Li came back, he would not go home like before, and they would not meet.

If she had known she would run into him, she would have helped Nan Yan's aunt take care of her children at her house tonight. Lin Feng and the little guy both like her so much.

Sitting on the bed gasping for breath, Shen Xingchen's heartbeat slowly returned to normal. She couldn't help but think of some things in the past. She remembered how clingy she was to Shen Li, and how Shen Li finally "rejected" her.

call……

After taking another long breath, Shen Xingchen returned to his desk and continued to check his paper.

But, before I knew it, I was in a state of confusion. My mind could never calm down and I kept thinking about the past and the present.

-

At the same time, in Shen Li's room.

After he returned to his room, all he could think about was Shen Xingchen's awkwardness and politeness towards him, her helplessness and nervousness, and her true confession after drinking two years ago.

After two years of college, he suddenly felt that the girl he had raised seemed a little strange.

He had not participated in her growth or changes in the past two years.

In front of the desk, when Shen Li withdrew his gaze from the window, his eyes immediately fell on the photo frame on the desk. It was a photo of Shen Xingchen when he took her to camp on the top of the mountain when she was in the second year of high school.

Looking down at the photo album, Shen Li raised his hand and touched the photo frame, and couldn't help but think of the jokes that Lu Jingyang and the others had played on him in the past.

If Xingchen gets married in the future, he will definitely be reluctant to let her go.

Having raised her for so many years, let alone waiting for her to get married in the future, he would feel uncomfortable even if she distanced herself from him now.

In fact, two years ago, he just didn't want her to misunderstand, didn't want to give her the wrong feeling, and didn't want her to get deeper into trouble, so he asked her to be Nan Yan's assistant. He didn't mean to push her away.

I just don't want her to have the wrong emotions.

However, what Shen Li did not expect was that he had raised Shen Xingchen for so many years, but ignored her self-esteem and her sensitivity.

She could care less about anyone, but she couldn't care less about his opinions and actions.

Because for so many years, he was everything in her life and her only dependence.
