Back to my parents when I was seventeen

"..."

After Shen Yubai finished speaking, he looked at Xu Chuning, "What did you just say?"

Xu Chu Ning: "...Nothing."

She looked at Shen Sinian: "If you want to take pictures, take them."

She knew that Shen Sinian wanted to preserve some good memories.

Shen Sinian: "Okay."

He pushed Shen Yubai over to Xu Chuning's side and said, "You two should sit together."

Shen Yubai stood up, and Xu Chuning had to move aside to make room for him.

The two sat side by side, and there seemed to be room for a young Shen Sinian to sit in between them. Looking at the space between them, Shen Sinian said helplessly, "Do you two... want to get closer?"

Xu Chu Ning glanced sideways and met Shen Yubai's eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Chu Ning moved a little bit towards Shen Yubai.

Shen Sinian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Ningning, it's still very far away."

Xu Chu Ning: "We can't do this—"

Before she could even utter the word "shoot", Shen Yubai suddenly tilted his head and moved closer to her. His warm breath fell on her ears, burning her skin. "Like this?"

Shen Sinian's eyes lit up, "Okay, you guys strike a pose for a moment."

Xu Chu Ning: "What pose?"

Shen Sinian: "Are you comparing?"

Xu Chu Ning: "...So stupid."

Shen Yubai felt the same way.

Having said that, the two of them still cooperated well and made "yeah" gestures under Shen Sinian's camera, allowing Shen Sinian to take several photos of the two of them.

After taking the photo of the two of them, Shen Sinian handed the camera to Shen Yubai: "Take a few photos of Ningning and me."

After taking the photo of Shen Sinian and Xu Chuning, Shen Sinian found a store clerk and took a photo of the three of them.

The clerk was confused. When he saw the girl sitting between the two boys, his brain froze for a few seconds before he came back to his senses and took a picture of them.

After taking back the camera, Xu Chu Ning looked at the clerk's back as he hurried away, and asked in confusion, "Why is the clerk looking at us so strangely?"

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes, looked at the distance between the two people at the moment, and said absentmindedly, "Is there?"

Xu Chu Ning couldn't tell what the problem was for a moment. She frowned slightly and said, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Shen Yubai: "..."

After taking the photos, Shen Sinian had to go back to the company.

He was reluctant to leave, and acted coquettishly to Xu Chu Ning in a wronged manner, "Ning Ning, wait for me to have a day off, I will go to the store to find you."

Shen Sinian is now seizing the time to train, but Min Jian is a person who knows how to combine work and rest. He has previously told Shen Sinian and several other newcomers that they should be assessed once every half a month of training, and if they pass the assessment, they will be given half a day off.

Xu Chu Ning chuckled: "Okay, I'll wait for you and train well."

Shen Sinian responded and reminded Shen Yubai: "Remember to send Ningning back."

Shen Yubai ignored him.

He didn't need Shen Sinian's instructions to send Xu Chuning back.

After watching Shen Sinian walk into the company gate and disappear, Shen Yubai turned around and looked at the person next to him who was staring at that place, "Going back now?"

Xu Chuning hummed, "Let's go."

The sun was too strong and Shen Yubai didn't want to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus, so he suggested taking a taxi.

Xu Chuning followed silently.

Sitting in the taxi and feeling the cool air conditioning inside the car, Xu Chu Ning felt in his heart that taxis were indeed much more comfortable than buses.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the person next to her, "When will the information be sent to you?"

Shen Yubai: "He said he would send it to me today, probably tonight, and I will forward it to you."

He knew Xu Chuning was very anxious.

Xu Chu Ning pursed her lips and said softly, "Thank you."

After she finished speaking, she reminded him again, "Don't tell my mother about this for now, okay?"

She could still bear disappointment again and again for the time being, but You Shuzhen couldn't. Xu Chuning didn't want her to bear the heavy blow of disappointment again. She wanted to wait until she found the person and met him before telling You Shuzhen the news.

Shen Yubai said calmly: "Don't worry."

He will keep it secret.

Xu Chu Ning blinked slightly and said, "Thank you."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He was speechless, tilting his head to look at her, "How many times do you want to say thank you?"

Xu Chu Ning met his gaze, opened her lips slightly, and said seriously, "No matter how many times I say this, I think it's right."

She was really grateful to Shen Yubai for helping her find someone.

Shen Yubai paused, wanting to say something, but eventually changed his tone to, "No need, it's just a piece of cake."

Xu Chuning was silent, knowing very well that this was not something that could be accomplished with just a little effort. Shen Yubai must have spent a lot of energy, material resources and money.

She kept all these in mind.

We walked in silence all the way to the shop.

After getting off the car and entering the store, You Shuzhen was watching TV again.

Xu Chuning glanced at the TV casually and vaguely saw some familiar words. Before she had time to take a closer look, You Shuzhen, who heard the noise, quickly picked up the remote control and switched the TV channel.

"Are you back?" After the switch, she turned her head and looked at the two of them with a smile.

Xu Chu Ning frowned and suppressed her doubts in her heart, "Well, Mom, why don't you take a break at noon?"

You Shuzhen: "There aren't many customers today, so I'm not too tired."

She asked, "Is Si Nian okay? Is the training hard?"

Xu Chu Ning: "A little bit, but he said he likes it."

You Shuzhen shook her head helplessly, "This child is really good."

Xu Chuning raised her eyebrows, feeling a little proud inside. Her son was naturally a good person.

You Shuzhen said a few words to Xu Chuning, and then chatted with Shen Yubai, "Xiao Shen, I'm sorry to bother you today."

Shen Yubai smiled: "It should be."

He looked at the two of them and said to Xu Chu Ning, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Xu Chu Ning nodded hesitantly, and before Shen Yubai walked out of the store, he said, "If you have anything to say, talk to me on QQ."

Shen Yubai nodded slightly.

After Shen Yubai left, Xu Chuning turned his head and met You Shuzhen's gaze.

The mother and daughter stared at each other for a moment, and Xu Chu Ning took the initiative, "Mom, don't think too much, I haven't graduated from high school yet."

You Shuzhen: "Mom hasn't said anything yet."

"I know what you want to say." Xu Chu Ning said calmly: "But that's not the case."

You Shuzhen: "Okay."

She didn't talk much about this topic with Xu Chuning. After a moment of silence, You Shuzhen suddenly called Xu Chuning's name solemnly, "Ningning."

Xu Chuning sat down on the stool, about to finish her calligraphy practice for the day. When she heard You Shuzhen's voice, she hummed vaguely, "What's wrong?"

You Shuzhen: "Shall we go back to Pingning earlier this summer vacation?"

Xu Chu Ning was stunned and asked in surprise: "Is there something wrong with grandma?"

"No." You Shuzhen looked at her nervous look and said with a smile: "But it also has something to do with your grandmother."

She said: "Grandma is old, and my mother wants to go back early to accompany her and spend more time with her this year."

The store business is not very good during the summer vacation, so the loss from closing the store will not be too big.

Xu Chu Ning suddenly realized: "Of course, I miss my grandma too."

You Shuzhen: "Okay, but I need to wait and see when to go back."

Xu Chuning agreed.

The mother and daughter were chatting when someone suddenly walked into the store and said, "Boss, there is -"

Xu Chu Ning didn't hear clearly what the other party said afterwards. The moment she saw the person entering the store, she froze in place.
