Back to my parents when I was seventeen

The weather in Jiangcheng was very good on Shen Sinian’s birthday.

It happens to be Saturday.

When Shen Sinian woke up in the morning, he received red envelopes and gifts from his grandparents.

When he went downstairs to have breakfast, his parents told him that the birthday present had been placed in his study. Shen Sinian now occupied an entire floor. He lived alone on the third floor, with a bedroom, a dressing room, and a separate study.

Shen Sinian raised his eyebrows, "What is it?"

Shen Yubai: "You will know in a moment."

Shen Sinian said "oh".

Xu Chu Ning smiled and said, "Mom didn't buy you any particularly expensive gifts."

Shen Sinian: "It's okay, it's fine as long as you have it."

Shen Sinian, who grew up in wealth, has no shortage of expensive gifts.

After breakfast, Shen Sinian went upstairs to open the gifts.

Xu Chu Ning gave him a very beautiful camera. The price was not cheap actually, but it was cheaper than the gifts given by his grandparents.

Shen Yubai gave him a basketball signed by the star player he had been longing for.

In addition to the gifts, the two also deposited a sum of money into Shen Sinian's fund account every year. However, this money could only be used when Shen Sinian turned 18.

"Will Aunt Xitong and the others come over today?" Shen Sinian asked.

Xu Chu Ning: "Yes, grandma and the others will be here later."

Sure enough, not long after breakfast, You Shuzhen and others came over to set up the setting.

The birthday party was held at home. Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai moved when Shen Sinian was in elementary school. They moved to the big villa given to them by Shen Xingyan. The villa was big enough and was more than enough for a party.

A group of people spent an entire afternoon setting it up.

In the evening, other relatives and friends also came over.

"Come and make a wish."

"Our birthday boy is here."

"Happy birthday Si Nian."

"..."

Listening to everyone's blessings, Shen Sinian's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles. His parents pushed the cake over and asked him to make a wish.

Looking at the group of people around him, Shen Sinian clasped his hands together and made a wish.

Very strange.

Before making the wish, Shen Sinian had many wishes, such as he wanted to go to the United States to watch his favorite basketball star's game during the Chinese New Year, go to Iceland to soak in hot springs, etc.

But the moment he closed his eyes, there was only one thought in his mind - I hope this day will come every year.

He thought that every year after that, these relatives and friends would be by his side, they would be there on his birthday every year, and all of them would be safe and healthy.

When I opened my eyes, I had made all my wishes.

"Blow out the candles." Xu Chu Ning said softly.

Shen Sinian was stunned: "Mom and Dad, please play with me."

"Okay." Xu Chu Ning smiled, "Let's go together."

Everyone blew out the candles and sang the birthday song.

Looking at the familiar faces in front of him, Shen Sinian felt vaguely a little strange.

Shen Sinian had a very happy 17th birthday.

After singing the birthday song, everyone started to share the cake.

Even Shen Yubai, who doesn't really eat sweets, ate a big piece of Shen Sinian's birthday cake.

After eating, everyone started to gather together to play games and chat.

The Shen family was extremely lively that day.

It was past eleven o'clock when Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning saw off their relatives and friends before returning to their room to wash up and go to bed.

Shen Sinian came out of the shower, and it was only one minute before twelve o'clock.

There was a knock on the door.

Shen Sinian opened the door and looked at his parents standing at the door, "Mom and Dad, what's wrong?"

"Happy birthday." Xu Chuning said with a smile, "I'm telling you this at the last minute. I hope that when you turn 18, you will be freer, braver, and happier."

Shen Sinian was startled, raised his hands and hugged her, "I will, and I hope that when I am eighteen years old, you will be in good health, mom."

Xu Chuning: "Yes."

Shen Yubai raised his hand and touched Shen Sinian's hair. "Happy birthday, you are one year older. I hope you get what you want."

After they expressed their blessings to Shen Sinian, they returned to their room to rest.

And Shen Sinian sat by the bed for a while for some unknown reason.

He looked at the decorated room and laughed softly.

very nice.

Shen Sinian lay down to sleep, and after closing his eyes, he inexplicably had a dream, a very long dream.

In the dream, he was sometimes ignored by Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning, and sometimes he was alone at home celebrating his birthday, eating alone, and going to school. There was no one around him but himself.

After a moment, he dreamed that he was running alone on the snowy street, looking for Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning. There were people coming and going on the street, but he could not find them or see them.

In fact, he couldn't even reach the end of the street.

Shen Sinian felt like he had entered a foggy forest, turning around and around but couldn't find the exit.

a long time.

Just when he felt that he was really going to be trapped inside, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Shen Sinian suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the mobile phone on the bedside table.

The call was from Xu Chuning. Her colleague had something to do today, so she went to the hospital to help cover for him. Seeing that it was getting late, she called Shen Sinian.

"Mom." Shen Sinian's voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Chu Ning was startled and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Your voice doesn't sound right, are you catching a cold?"

Shen Sinian cleared his throat and said, "No."

Xu Chu Ning felt relieved, "Was you woken up by your mother?"

"...It's time to wake up." Shen Sinian rubbed his eyes, "Did you go to the hospital?"

Xu Chu Ning responded, "My colleague has something urgent to do. Your father went to the golf course to discuss business this morning, but he will be home at noon. Do you want to eat at home with your father or come to the hospital to eat together?"

Shen Sinian responded: "Okay."

Xu Chuning didn't say much. He just gave Shen Sinian a few words of advice and then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Sinian rubbed his eyes, raised his hand and pinched himself. After confirming that it hurt, he was sure that he had really had a dream.

Although he didn't know why he had such a dream, Shen Sinian felt that the dream was very real, as if it had actually happened.

Thinking about it, Shen Sinian scratched his head in confusion.

After a simple wash, Shen Sinian went downstairs to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Sinian went back to his room to sort out the gifts he received yesterday. When he got the camera that Xu Chuning gave him, Shen Sinian suddenly remembered that Xu Chuning also gave him a camera when he was very young.

But the camera was very old and he hadn't used it for a long time.

Thinking of this, Shen Sinian took out the old camera that contained many photos of Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning when they were young, and opened it again.

When he opened it again, Shen Sinian was stunned.

He looked at the face that appeared in the camera, raised his head blankly, and looked at himself in the mirror.

How come they look exactly the same?

Shen Sinian was very sure that this person did not exist when he turned on the camera before.

Shen Sinian was stunned for a long time and subconsciously called Xu Chuning.

"mom."

Xu Chu Ning responded, "What's wrong?"

Shen Sinian's breathing stagnated slightly, "I..."

Xu Chu Ning: "Hmm? What happened?"

"Nothing." Shen Sinian didn't know what to say, "Let's talk about it when you come back in the evening."

Xu Chuning: “…”

Xu Chuning felt a little uneasy because of Shen Sinian's call.

She called Shen Yubai and asked him to come home and take a look.

When Shen Yubai returned home, Shen Sinian was still looking at the camera.

When Shen Yubai saw the photos in the camera, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, "How could this happen?"

Shen Sinian looked up, "Dad, who is he?"

How come he looks exactly like him?

Shen Yubai frowned and looked at him, "Who do you think he is?"

"...a bit like me." Shen Sinian told the truth.

Shen Yubai thought for a moment, and looked at him without much hesitation, "Si Nian, do you believe in time travel?"

Shen Sinian: “Ah?”

Shen Yubai said in a deep voice: "Whether you believe it or not, you must listen carefully to the story I am about to tell you."

Since Shen Sinian discovered the clue, there was no reason for Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning to hide it from him anymore.

This was something they had discussed before. If one day Shen Sinian remembered the past, or dreamed of this magical thing that could not be explained by scientific logic, they would tell him the story.

He was their child, and both of them were convinced that he would not think they were crazy or mentally ill to say that.

Shen Sinian will definitely believe what they say.

Shen Yubai sat down opposite him and began to recall many things that happened in the past.

After listening to Shen Yubai, Shen Sinian sat there in a daze.

After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yubai, "I am so powerful?"

Shen Yubai: "..."

He was startled, a little surprised, "You don't blame us?"

"Why should I blame you?" Shen Sinian said, "You have corrected your mistakes, why should I blame you?"

Now, from the moment he was born until now, he can feel the deep love of his parents.

He knew they loved him very much.

Shen Yubai was speechless. This was an angle he had not thought of.

Shen Sinian pressed on, "So, my mom, Aunt Xitong, Aunt Mingyin, Uncle Ban, and Uncle Yu were all classmates?"

Shen Yubai nodded.

“I studied liberal arts before?”

Shen Yubai continued to nod.

"No wonder I hesitated for so long when choosing between arts and science classes. It turns out that I might want to study arts." Shen Sinian said cheerfully.

Shen Yubai laughed, looked at him and asked, "That's it? Are you only curious about this?"

Shen Sinian nodded.

After a moment of silence, he looked up at him, "Dad, you just said that you and my mom both wrote diaries for me. Can I take a look?"

Shen Yubai paused, "Of course."

He stood up and took out the diary he and Xu Chuning had written and gave it to him.

After getting the diary, Shen Sinian began to read it carefully.

He saw Xu Chu Ning coming home from get off work and hadn't finished watching it yet.

Shen Yubai had already told Xu Chuning on the phone what Shen Sinian knew. Shen Sinian's acceptance was much better than they had expected. He was surprised, but not too shocked.

See late at night.

Shen Sinian finally finished reading the diaries written by the two.

After reading the diary that night, Shen Sinian had another very long dream. In the dream, he went back to more than 20 years ago, back to when his parents were in high school, when he met them, got to know them, went to school with them, and played with them.

This dream is really long.

When the alarm clock rang and Shen Sinian opened his eyes, the first thing he did was to go find his parents who lived on the second floor.

There was a knock on the door. Shen Yubai opened the door and looked at the energetic person standing outside. "Why are you up so early?"

Shen Sinian: "Dad."

He opened his hands. "You keep your word."

Shen Yubai paused, then reacted, "You... have that memory?"

"I had a dream." Shen Sinian told him, looking at Xu Chuning standing behind him, "Ningning, do you want a hug?"

Hearing this familiar name, Xu Chu Ning's eyes welled up and she hugged him.

"Shen Sinian, Mom did it."

Shen Sinian nodded heavily, his eyes reddened, "I know you miss me, and I miss you too."

He paused, then said sheepishly, "And, Mom, I love you."

Xu Chuning: "Mom loves you too."

Shen Yubai looked at the mother and son hugging each other, opened his arms and took them both into his arms, and reminded them jealously as always, "What about me?"

The mother and son cried with joy, "We love you, too."

The three of them hugged each other again.

The morning light shines through the window, illuminating this warm and loving home.

Love is eternal and love never ends.

No matter how many years have passed, no matter how many years have passed, the love that belongs to them and surrounds them will eventually be seen and will exist forever.
