Back to my parents when I was seventeen

After a moment of silence, Xu Chu Ning spoke, "I'm full."

Shen Sinian met his father's glance and said timidly, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it."

"..."

After dealing with the eggs, the three of them set off for school together.

It was only a ten-minute walk away. The spring sunshine was warm, and the lush green branches and leaves stretched out on both sides of the road. The fine sunlight was cut into pieces and fell down, covering the three of them.

Their figures sometimes overlap as they move.

On the way, Shen Sinian and Xu Chuning lagged behind Shen Yubai and were whispering to each other.

After the exam on Friday, it will be the weekend again. Shen Sinian asked Xu Chuning what he planned to do over the weekend.

Xu Chuning said he was reading, doing homework, and helping out in the store.

Shen Sinian listened and sighed softly. He felt sorry for Xu Chuning's current situation. If... if her identity had not been swapped by that person, how much easier her life would have been.

Thinking of this, Shen Sinian looked at Xu Chuning's indifferent expression and asked softly, "Ningning, did you see that person when you left school yesterday?"

Xu Chu Ning: "Who?"

She looked ordinary.

Shen Sinian moved his lips slightly, and was about to say Xu Zhiyan's name when a black car passed in front of them and stopped steadily in front of the school gate under their gaze.

The driver hurriedly opened the back door and the person in the back seat got out. She was wearing a school uniform of a white shirt and a pleated skirt, and a pair of expensive white sneakers. Her schoolbag was a limited edition of a certain brand, in pink and white, very beautiful.

The moment he saw her face, Shen Sinian subconsciously looked at Xu Chuning. She didn't seem to have any emotion and continued walking forward.

Xu Zhiyan got out of the car and looked over at them. A flash of surprise flashed across her face, and the corners of her lips curled up, "Shen Yubai."

While sitting in the car, Xu Zhiyan saw Shen Yubai.

Hearing the girl's voice, Shen Yubai responded indifferently.

Xu Zhiyan looked at his cold attitude and pursed her lips a little unhappily, but she did not walk into the school first. She was waiting for Shen Yubai, "Why did you walk to school today?"

She remembered that Shen Yubai used to like to ride a motorcycle to school.

Shen Yubai: "Yeah."

He didn't explain why.

Xu Zhiyan: “…”

She paused for a moment, looking at his cold and indifferent appearance, feeling a little distressed. When she was thinking about finding a topic to talk to Shen Yubai about, she suddenly noticed the two people behind him, "Who are they?"

Xu Zhiyan asked Shen Yubai: "Are we classmates in school?"

Before Shen Yubai could say anything, Shen Sinian was already unhappy, "Auntie, can't you see? We have the same school uniforms."

"Ah...Auntie?" Xu Zhiyan was shocked and stared at Shen Sinian with wide eyes in disbelief, "What did you call me?"

Shen Sinian: "Auntie."

He raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "What's the problem?"

Xu Zhiyan was choked by his question, and her eyes instantly turned red, "I... I'm only seventeen years old!"

"I am responsible for—"

"Shen Sinian." When Shen Sinian was about to say how old he was, Xu Chuning interrupted him.

Shen Sinian raised his eyes and met his mother's disapproving look. He said a little aggrievedly, "What's wrong?"

Xu Chuning looked at him and said nothing. She tilted her head and said to Xu Zhiyan, "I'm sorry, he likes to joke around."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan glared at her and said, "You are sick."

"Who are you saying is sick?" The person who said this was Shen Yubai.

He didn't like chatting with girls, and he never treated Xu Zhiyan well. But Sang Menglan liked Xu Zhiyan very much, and she had always wanted a daughter. Because the Shen and Xu families were close, Sang Menglan had a good relationship with Xu Zhiyan's mother, so she ordered Shen Yubai to be nicer to Xu Zhiyan.

He may not like her, but he cannot lack even the most basic courtesy.

Therefore, Shen Yubai rarely speaks harshly to Xu Zhiyan.

Of course, the premise of not saying harsh words is that Xu Zhiyan has not touched his bottom line, so he never takes her words to heart.

But now, Shen Yubai couldn't stand hearing her scold Shen Sinian for being ill. What his son said was the truth, and she was going too far by saying that he was ill.

From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever been so mean to Xu Zhiyan. This was the first time, and it was Shen Yubai who said that. Her breathing was slightly stagnant, her expression was a little dull, and then she began to cry, "Shen...are you mean to me?"

Shen Yubai frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he was saying so he just asked back, why was she crying.

"You...I won't pay attention to you anymore!" Xu Zhiyan was hurt by Shen Yubai's silent attitude. She wiped her tears, said this, and ran away angrily.

Watching her running away, Shen Sinian scratched his head in confusion, "Ningning...did we just bully someone?"

Xu Chuning: "Why do you call her aunt?"

Shen Sinian sighed and said confidently, "According to our ages, it would be reasonable for me to call her auntie..."

Shen Sinian accidentally met Xu Chuning's gaze and his voice became lower and lower.

After a moment of silence, Xu Chu Ning sighed softly, "You are the same age as us now."

Shen Sinian was depressed, "I know."

He deliberately angered her because the other person was Xu Zhiyan.

The conversation between the two was cryptic, and Shen Yubai didn't hear anything fishy. Hearing Xu Chuning scolding Shen Sinian, he couldn't help but say, "Sinian didn't mean it."

Xu Chuning raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yubai without saying anything.

Why didn't she realize before that Shen Yubai doted on his child so much?

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes and met her gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You..." Xu Chujing was silent, "Why don't you go and coax that young lady?"

"?"

Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked her thoughtfully, "Why should I coax her?"

Xu Chuning felt that Shen Yubai's eyes were oppressive. She breathed hard and pretended to be calm as she looked away. "You've lost your popularity."

"When did I make her angry?" Shen Yubai asked again.

Xu Chuning: “…”

Doesn't he know when he made people angry?

For some reason, Xu Chu Ning felt that they were somewhat unclear on this issue at the moment.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chu Ning said, "Forget it, it's none of my business."

If Shen Yubai doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go. She has no right to interfere.

Shen Yubai: "..."

He frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Xu Chuning said.

Shen Yubai stared at her straight in the eyes and was about to say something else when Shen Sinian spoke up at the right time, "Let's go into the classroom first. We'll have the exam later."

Xu Chuning: "Let's go."

The three of them swaggered into the school, and then when they forked at the intersection of the international class and the ordinary class, Xu Chuning thought that Shen Yubai would separate from them, but unexpectedly, he was still going the same way as them.

"You're not going to class?"

Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but ask.

Shen Yubai: "I can also go over here."

It's just that you have to walk a little further and pass by their class.

Xu Chuning: "Oh."

Shen Sinian, a simple-minded naive person, talked a lot. He was puzzled, "Then don't you want to walk a little further?"

Before Shen Yubai could say anything, Shen Sinian said in a drawling tone, "I know."

He asked Shen Yubai bluntly, laughing: "Are you reluctant to part with us?"
