Back to my parents when I was seventeen

As soon as she entered, Xu Chu Ning was dazzled by the colorful hair accessories and hairpins in the store.

The price was within her acceptable range, a little more expensive than those near the school, but the styles were novel and very beautiful.

Xu Chu Ning took a look and worried that Shen Yubai would feel uncomfortable in such a girly place, so she turned around and said to him, "If you feel uncomfortable staying here, you can go to the milk tea shop next door and wait for me."

Shen Yubai raised his eyes and said, "I'll go over there and take a look."

Xu Chuning nodded hesitantly.

After Shen Yubai left, Xu Chuning continued to choose gifts for her friends. Deng Xitong liked pink, so she chose a pair of pink peach hairpins and a pink hair band for her. Cheng Mingyin liked blue, so she chose blue.

In addition to the Christmas gifts for the two of them, Xu Chuning also chose hairpins, hair ties, and a dreamy-looking bracelet for You Ying.

After choosing the girl, Xu Chuning began to think about what gift to give to Shen Sinian. He had everything, but what he lacked was too expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Chu Ning was about to ask Shen Yubai whether he would give Shen Sinian a Christmas gift when he felt a slight pain in his head.

Xu Chu Ning looked up in surprise and met Shen Yubai's gaze, "Not bad."

Xu Chuning blinked.

She raised her hand and touched it. Shen Yubai had pinned a hairpin in her hair. "Is it a hairpin?"

Shen Yubai: "There is a mirror over there."

Xu Chu Ning walked to the mirror and saw the little rabbit hairpin in her hair. She was stunned for a moment and turned to look at him, "Did you choose it for me?"

Shen Yubai: "Do you like it?"

Xu Chuning pursed her lips and whispered, "But I haven't decided yet what Christmas gifts to give you and Shen Sinian."

"I don't need it." Shen Yubai knew that Xu Chu Ning didn't have much pocket money after buying Christmas gifts this time.

Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang gave her a card, saying it was used to pay her living expenses every month, but Shen Yubai knew that she would not use the money in the card unless it was absolutely necessary.

The money she used to buy the gift this time must have been the money she saved from doing homework for others.

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, "Then Shen Sinian——"

"I'll prepare it for him." Shen Yubai looked at her, "I'll prepare it."

Xu Chuning blinked, "Isn't this a bit bad?"

"What's wrong with that?" Shen Yubai asked, "Aren't we a family?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

Shen Yubai's words made Xu Chu Ning a little unsure of how to respond.

In the future, they will be a family of three. But now, they are not.

Just as Xu Chu Ning was hesitating, Shen Yubai said, "Let's go and pay the bill. I'm a little hungry."

They haven't had lunch yet.

Xu Chu Ning: "...Okay, then I can prepare a New Year's gift for him."

Shen Yubai nodded.

When paying the bill, Xu Chuning insisted on buying the gift for her friend herself. Shen Yubai didn't argue with her, but he took off the bunny hairpin on her head and handed it to the cashier along with the other gifts he had chosen.

Xu Chu Ning looked at the small bag of things in his bag and wanted to ask something, but felt it was inappropriate to ask in front of the cashier, so he held back.

After paying the bill and walking out of the jewelry store, Xu Chu Ning poked Shen Yubai's bag and asked, "Why did you buy so much?"

Shen Yubai: "You and You Ying."

He handed the bag to her directly, "Take a look at which ones are suitable for You Ying."

Xu Chuning: “…”

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You mean, you want me to give it to You Ying?"

Shen Yubai nodded.

Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But this is too much."

There are five or six hair ties alone.

Shen Yubai hummed, lowered his eyes to look at her cold profile, and whispered: "Very beautiful, you can change one every day."

Xu Chuning: "That's a bit exaggerated."

Shen Yubai: "I think it's okay."

After a moment of silence, Xu Chu Ning accepted it and said, "Thank you."

Shen Yubai: "You're welcome."

He looked around, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything." Xu Chu Ning is not picky about food. "Eat whatever you want."

Finally, the two went into a fast food restaurant.

Xu Chuning suddenly wanted to eat fried chicken, and there was no reason for Shen Yubai to be dissatisfied.

After eating, the two took a taxi back to school.

After getting off the car at the school gate, Xu Chuning went to buy decorative wrapping paper and boxes.

Shen Yubai was stunned. It turned out that when giving gifts, one also needs to pay attention to details in this regard. He silently took note and began to reflect on his rash behavior of stuffing the bag into Xu Chuning's hands.

It seems a bit sloppy.

Thinking of this, Shen Yubai decided to be more careful next time.

When the two returned to their respective classes, the bell had not yet rung.

Xu Chu Ning returned to his seat and sat down. Deng Xi Tong just woke up from her nap. "Where did you go?"

Xu Chu Ning: "I went to buy some things."

Deng Xitong was sleepy and didn't notice what she bought.

She changed her direction and lay down, "I'm so sleepy, call me when class starts."

Xu Chu Ning curled her lips and said, "Okay, you sleep a little longer."

She quietly cut paper, prepared to wrap the gifts she had just bought, wrote cards on them, and gave them to them.

After school in the afternoon, the whole class cheered.

Someone shouted from the front, "Merry Christmas, everyone!"

“Happy weekend.”

It's another weekend.

Xu Chu Ning's things had not been completely packed yet, so Deng Xitong and the others had to go home to put their things away before going out to play.

"Why don't you go home first and meet at the shop later?" Xu Chuning and Deng Xitong discussed.

Deng Xitong: "Okay, I'll be there soon."

After everyone agreed, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian stayed in the classroom.

"Ningning, what are you going to do?" Shen Sinian was surprised when he saw what Xu Chuning was sticking out from the hole in the table.

Xu Chuning: "Can you help me wrap it?"

Shen Sinian suddenly realized: "Gift?"

"Yeah." At this point, Xu Chuning looked at Shen Sinian and said, "I'll prepare your gift for you during the Chinese New Year."

Shen Sinian groaned and laughed: "I don't care about these."

After he helped Xu Chuning wrap up several gifts, Shen Sinian asked, "Is this for Xitong?"

"OK."

"Is this Mingyin's?"

Xu Chu Ning: "Really smart."

"Is this from my aunt?" Shen Sinian lowered his voice.

Xu Chuning: "Yes."

"What about these?" Shen Sinian pointed at the accessories in another bag that she had just taken out.

Xu Chu Ning was about to answer when she realized something. She looked up at the person who appeared at the door of the classroom and said, "He sent it to me."

Shen Sinian turned around and said with sudden realization, "He is such a scheming man."

Xu Chuning: “…”

As Shen Yubai approached, Shen Sinian leaned over to Xu Chuning's ear and whispered, "Ningning, you can't be fooled by such a small thing. The Shen family is super rich. You can't be tempted by such a small thing."
