Back to my parents when I was seventeen

I have to admit that Pei Shao’s comments are very insightful.

Yes, from their perspective, Shen Sinian and Xu Chuning are not related by blood, so it is not impossible for them to develop a relationship. It is impossible for him not to take action just because Shen Yubai is also interested in Xu Chuning, right?

This is not like the Shen family's style.

Ban Shu: [Yes, but Brother Yu, our cousin seems to have been very close to Xu Chuning since the first day he transferred to the school. Did they know each other before? ]

Shen Yubai: [Yes.]

Pei Shao: [How did you know each other? Same as you and Xu Zhiyan? ]

Shen Yubai frowned: [Who am I with? ]

Ban Shu: [Miss Xu, childhood sweetheart.]

Shen Yubai frowned and typed: [When did Xu Zhiyan and I become childhood sweethearts? ]

It is true that they had known each other since childhood, but they had not met very often and had spoken even less.

Pei Shao was not as afraid of him as Ban Shu. He raised his eyebrows and said confidently: [To some extent, you two can be considered childhood sweethearts.]

Shen Yubai: [Hehe.]

Ban Shu: […If you say it’s not true, then it’s not true. But I’m really surprised that Shen Sinian is your cousin.]

Before Shen Yubai could say anything, Ban Shu added: [No wonder when I first saw him, I thought he looked a lot like you, Brother Yu, and you ignored me at the time.]

Shen Yubai: [I haven’t figured out how to say it yet.]

Ban Shu: [I reluctantly forgive you.]

Ban Shu and Pei Shao knew about Shen Sinian's identity. But they were not talkative people and knew that this was the Shen family's secret, so they would not say much to others.

The three of them were chatting in the game and had no interest in playing games anymore.

Shen Yubai watched Ban Shu and Pei Shao chatting, then casually picked up his phone and opened QQ. After Shen Sinian sent the photo and that sentence, he didn't send him any new messages.

After checking the time, Shen Yubai looked up at the weather outside the window, and finally sent a message to Shen Sinian: [What time does it end? ]

Shen Sinian was probably playing and didn't reply to his message in time.

Shen Yubai pulled his lower lip in dissatisfaction and sent a message to Ban Shu on QQ: [Going to the arcade? ]

Ban Shu: [? ]

Ban Shu: [Let's go and tell Master Pei.]

Shen Yubai: [Yes.]

The two of them downloaded the game and went out to the arcade.

*

An hour later, Shen Sinian saw the message from Shen Yubai.

A group of them gathered in the park, and after they had laid out the things they had brought, a few girls said they wanted to take pictures. The camera technology of mobile phones today is average, but not too bad.

Deng Xitong brought a camera, and Shen Sinian had good photography skills, so he naturally took on the role of photographer.

After shooting for about an hour, everyone was tired, so we decided to take a break and eat something.

Shen Sinian held the camera and turned to look at Xu Chuning who was still discussing the topic with Gu Jiayi. He observed a three-second silence for his father and called Xu Chuning, "Ningning."

Xu Chu Ning looked up, "What?"

Shen Sinian: "Do you want to take a photo?"

Xu Chuning: "No."

Shen Sinian: “…”

He choked slightly, and regardless of the distance between them, he strode towards Xu Chu Ning, "Ning Ning, take a few pictures. I want to take a picture of you."

Facing Shen Sinian's bright peach blossom eyes, Xu Chuning was slightly speechless and was unable to say no.

After three seconds of stalemate, Xu Chuning said, "Just take one photo."

"A few more," Shen Sinian bargained with her, "We'll get the photos developed when the time comes, what do you think?"

Xu Chu Ning: "You want it?"

Shen Sinian nodded: "I really want it."

Xu Chuning: "Okay."

If Shen Sinian wanted, it was not impossible for her to take a few more photos.

Gu Jiayi listened to the conversation between the two and felt strange and subtle emotions in his heart.

He had heard Deng Xitong mention before that a handsome boy had transferred to their class, and several of them had run into him at school. However, when they ran into each other at school, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian didn't seem to be that close.

As for Xu Chuning, Gu Jiayi had known her for more than a year, and this was the first time he saw her have such a special attitude towards a boy.

Without noticing the change in Gu Jiayi's expression, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian went to the other side to take pictures.

Shen Sinian is a very patient person. Whether he is taking pictures of other girls or Xu Chuning, he will patiently find the angle and let the people in the camera adjust their posture according to different light and shadow.

Xu Chuning has no makeup on, but she is beautiful.

It was easy for Shen Sinian to take pictures of her.

After a while, the photo was taken.

Shen Sinian returned the camera to Deng Xitong and discussed with her, "After the photos are imported to the computer, would you mind sending me Ningning's photos?"

Deng Xitong: "No problem, I'll send it to you when I get home tonight."

Shen Sinian: "Thank you."

After taking the photos, a few people started to eat and chat exhaustedly.

The mid-month sun was still quite bright, so after eating something on the lawn, a few of us moved to another place to play.

Chen Mengyao thought for a while and asked them, "How about going to the arcade? I haven't been there for a long time. It's rare that I'm done with the exams, so I want to go and relax."

Deng Xitong: "I'm fine with it, what about you?"

No one else had an opinion either.

Xu Chuning didn't know how to play games, but she could watch them play. She could see that Shen Sinian really wanted to go.

A group of people went to the video game arcade.

Xu Chu Ning seldom comes to such places. Firstly, she doesn't have the time, and secondly, she doesn't have the spare money to spend in such places yet.

After entering, Deng Xitong and Chen Mengyao went to play a racing game, and Shen Sinian was taken away by them.

Suddenly, only Xu Chuning and Gu Jiayi hadn't chosen what to play.

The two stood together, and Gu Jiayi tilted his head to look at her, "Is there anything you want to play?"

Xu Chu Ning: "I don't have one, how about you?"

Gu Jiayi looked around and said, "How about we go play basketball?"

He pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "Just a simple exercise."

Xu Chu Ning thought about it and said, "That's fine."

Now that we are here, it would be bad if we don't have any fun.

The two turned to the basketball machine, but because there were so many people, there was only one machine left.

Xu Chuning let Gu Jiayi play first and she watched from the side.

Gu Jiayi didn't bother to be polite with her. He looked gentle and didn't exercise much on a daily basis, but he was quite accurate in shooting.

Xu Chu Ning stared at the changes in numbers, a little surprised.

She stood by and watched, not noticing that someone had already noticed her presence.

Shen Yubai was standing diagonally opposite her, and when he saw her, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. Then, he followed her line of sight and saw the boy next to her.

It's the one in the photo.

Shen Yubai walked a few steps closer and looked at him, and thought he looked average.

"Where is Shen Sinian?" When Xu Chuning was watching intently, a clear and distant male voice came from the side. She was slightly startled, then turned her head and met Shen Yubai's eyes.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, Xu Chu Ning was stunned. "Why are you here?"

Shen Yubai still had the game coins in his hand. He raised his eyelids and slightly raised his chin. His tone was a little aggressive and a little unhappy. "You can be here, but I can't?"

Xu Chu Ning's lips moved slightly, "No."

She didn't mean that.

Shen Yubai glanced at her, his tone was sour, he didn't even notice it, "Or did I disturb your date?"
