Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Hearing Sang Menglan's arrogant words, Ye Qiongfang burst into laughter, "I know, come quickly, I'm waiting for you."

Sang Menglan: "If it's ready, you guys eat first, I'll be right over."

Ye Qiongfang: "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Sang Menglan appeared in Xu's villa.

"Aunt." As soon as she got out of the car, Shen Sinian called her enthusiastically.

Sang Menglan chuckled, "Si Nian, Ning Ning."

Xu Chuning: "Aunt Ye."

She hurried to greet her, "This way please, I've been waiting for you."

Sang Menglan smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you to eat first?"

Shen Yubai raised his eyes: "If you don't come, who among us would dare to eat first?"

Sang Menglan glanced at him.

After Sang Menglan came, the restaurant became more lively. She had no airs of an elder at all, and Xu Chuning especially liked chatting with her.

She, You Shuzhen and Ye Qiongfang all give people a different feeling.

You Shuzhen and Ye Qiongfang have a more obvious elder feeling, and Xu Chuning certainly doesn't dislike them. She likes them too.

But in comparison, Sang Menglan has less of a sense of eldership. She is more like a peer and friend of Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very happily.

After dinner, Sang Menglan suggested playing cards.

Xu Chuning didn't know how to do it, so Sang Menglan pointed at her son and said, "Let him teach you."

Xu Chuning: “…”

Ye Qiongfang and others: "..."

After a moment of silence, Ye Qiongfang said, "Let Yu Bai teach you. He will definitely be able to do it."

Xu Chu Ning had no choice but to nod and agree.

Xu Yiming did not participate either. The other person who participated was Shen Sinian.

At the beginning, Xu Chuning really didn’t understand much, but she got the hang of it quickly and learned things very quickly.

After a while, Xu Chuning started to win.

In response, Sang Menglan and Ye Qiongfang grumbled, "Is this the luck of a beginner?"

Ye Qiongfang: "It's not impossible."

Hearing the two people's murmurs, Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly, "She is smart."

Several others: "..."

Xu Chu Ning pursed her lips a little embarrassedly and glanced at Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai was puzzled, "Huh?"

"Nothing." Xu Chu Ning said a little embarrassedly, "Go on."

A few people played cards until nine o'clock in the evening, then they started to complain that they were tired and prepared to go home to rest.

If Sang Menglan were to go back, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian would have no chance of staying in the Xu family.

Before leaving, Shen Yubai said to Xu Chu Ning: "If you can't sleep, send me a message."

Xu Chu Ning raised his head to look at him and hummed softly: "I think I should be able to sleep."

Now, Xu Chuning and Ye Qiongfang no longer feel that distant. They are relatively familiar with each other, and Xu Chuning's resistance to the Xu family is no longer that strong.

She could feel that this home was moving closer to her.

Then in the same way, she will take the initiative to approach this home.

After Shen Yubai and the others left, Xu Chuning watched TV with Ye Qiongfang and Xu Yiming in the living room for a while before returning to his room to wash up.

"Ningning." Ye Qiongfang followed her upstairs, worried that she didn't understand and needed help. "Call me if you need anything. I'll be waiting for you in the room."

Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, that's not necessary."

She looked at her and said, "I'll do it all, don't worry about me."

Ye Qiongfang hesitated, "Really?"

"Really." Xu Chu Ning said softly, "You've been busy all day, you and Dad should wash up and rest early."

Xu Chuning emphasized, "I can do it alone."

Seeing her determined expression, Ye Qiongfang could no longer insist. She nodded hesitantly, "Okay, I'll go back to my room to wash up. If you can't sleep, you can always knock on our door."

Xu Chuning: "Okay."

After Ye Qiongfang left, Xu Chuning opened the closet. The third floor had been renovated, and the room that Xu Chuning had renovated was a large suite with a large cloakroom. In the cloakroom, there were still many clothes with tags still on, which were prepared by Ye Qiongfang and Xu Yiming for Xu Chuning to come back and live with them.

The pajamas have been washed.

Xu Chuning picked a set and simply went into the bathroom.

By the time she came out of the bathroom, more than half an hour had passed.

After blowing his hair dry, Xu Chu Ning lay down on the bed.

On the phone, there were messages sent by Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian to their small family group of three.

They both tacitly @ed her and asked her if she had gone to bed.

Xu Chu Ning didn't reply for a long time, so the two of them just started chatting among themselves.

Xu Chu Ning read the conversation between the two and replied: [Just now I lay down. Have you told others about Christmas? ]

Shen Sinian: [I want to go to the beach.]

Xu Chuning: [Will it be a bit cold to go to the beach in winter? ]

Shen Sinian: [Will it?]

Shen Yubai: [Yes.]

Shen Sinian: [Then where shall we go? Shall we go see the snow?]

Shen Yubai: [We have to go to other cities to see the snow, Christmas is too late. ]

Shen Sinian: [Where else can we go? ]

Shen Yubai thought for a moment: [I have an uncle who runs a hot spring resort in the suburbs. How about spending Christmas there? ]

You can soak in the hot springs and have a great Christmas.

Xu Chuning thought: [I think we can go to the hot spring villa on New Year's Day. ]

Shen Sinian: [Yes, we still have New Year’s Day. Our school should have three days off for New Year’s Day.]

Shen Yubai: [It should be. ]

At that time, holiday tutoring was not popular at Meiji Junior High School.

Even for students in their third year of high school, no make-up classes will be arranged.

Shen Sinian: [Then let’s go to the hot spring resort on New Year’s Day, and Christmas Day…what day of the week is that?]

After he sent it, he asked and answered the other two people: [It’s Friday. ]

Xu Chu Ning was amused by him, and the corners of her lips curved slightly: [I'm fine with it, do you want to ask other people what they think? ]

Shen Yubai: [Let me ask first. ]

The three of them transferred the message to their friend group.

Shen Sinian is responsible for asking: [Does anyone miss Christmas? ]

Deng Xitong: [Where have I been? I have thought about it.]

Ban Shu: [All right, any special arrangements? ]

Cheng Mingyin: [I saw that it’s Friday. There aren’t many places we can go after school this afternoon, right?]

Yu Gaoyi: [I can do either.]

Shen Sinian: [Then let's discuss where to go? ]

Ban Shu: [There seem to be very few places to go that night. ]

Cheng Mingyin: [Go ride the Ferris wheel? ]

Deng Xitong: [What Ferris wheel? ]

Cheng Mingyin: [Didn’t the city just open a Ferris wheel? I wanted to go ride it a while ago, but I didn’t think it was fun to ride it alone.]

Yu Gaoyi: [Apart from the Ferris wheel, are there any other options? ]

Shen Sinian: [Are there any other attractions over there at the Ferris wheel? ]

Cheng Mingyin: [It seems so. Can I check it out? ]

After a discussion, a few people decided to go to the Ferris wheel.

Xu Chu Ning didn't talk much in the group. She really had the attitude that anything was okay. She had been to very few places, so anywhere was fine, it would be a new experience.

Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Yubai sent her a private message: [Want to go to the Ferris wheel? ]

Xu Chuning: [Everyone, let’s go.]

Shen Yubai was helpless: [Really, there is no place you particularly want to go? ]

Xu Chu Ning thought about it seriously and replied to Shen Yubai: [If I'm with you guys, I can really go anywhere. ]

Surrounded by good friends, including his family member Shen Sinian, Xu Chuning is happy and willing to go wherever he goes.
