Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Shen Sinian is a man of action. If he was a little hesitant before, he no longer had those concerns after getting Xu Chuning's support.

Of course, at the moment he can't tell others that he likes to perform these things.

All I can say is that he has a strong interest in this area.

Before he came to his parents' side at the age of 17, Shen Sinian had studied dance and music for many years. The future Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning were too busy with work, so Shen Sinian was almost raised by Sang Menglan and the nanny at home.

In order to prevent him from feeling lonely and help him integrate with other children and make more friends, Sang Menglan was particularly active in enrolling him in various interest classes and training courses.

Shen Sinian has a quick mind and learns things quickly.

When he first came into contact with dance, he was very interested, so he studied for a few years. Later, Xu Chuning thought it was also good for boys to learn musical instruments, so he asked Sang Menglan to arrange piano and guitar for him.

The Shen family is not short of money, so as long as Shen Sinian is interested in something, Sang Menglan and others will arrange it for him.

In fact, when Shen Sinian went to an interest class before, he met an agent similar to Min Jian. The other party wanted Shen Sinian to participate in a talent show and asked him if he was interested.

Shen Sinian has one, and he wants to go and have some fun.

However, Xu Chu Ning and Shen Yu Bai both felt that he could go and have fun, but he could wait until he graduated from high school.

They were not unreasonable or irrational parents, but they both hoped that Shen Sinian would not do anything that he would regret.

The high school stage is very important. After he finishes the college entrance examination, if he wants to participate in a talent show or sign a contract with a film and television company to make a movie, they will support him.

Shen Sinian also knew the concerns of Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai. He couldn't abandon his high school studies to do something that might not have any hope. What's more, the college entrance examination was also very important.

Shen Sinian had good grades, so even if Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai agreed to let him take a leave of absence from high school to participate in talent shows, the school teachers and the principal were not very willing. According to Shen Sinian's development at that time, as long as he did not make major mistakes in the college entrance examination, he could definitely win the top spot in the city, or even the province.

The school doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity for publicity.

Naturally, the matter was shelved.

It was also because of this that when Min Jian approached Shen Sinian, he refused and needed to consider it carefully. He did not tell Xu Chuning in time because he was worried that she would object.

Before school was over in the afternoon, Shen Sinian sent a message to Shen Yubai, asking him if he wanted to have dinner together in the evening.

Shen Yubai: [Where to eat? ]

Shen Sinian: [Small shop?]

Shen Yubai: […Okay.]

Shen Sinian: [OK.]

The two agreed, and after class, Shen Yubai met Shen Sinian at the entrance of the teaching building.

Seeing Shen Sinian alone, Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in a calm voice: "Where is she?"

Shen Sinian: "Ningning?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him, and his meaning was clear - who else could it be other than Xu Chu Ning.

Shen Sinian exclaimed, "She has to go to Cheng Mingyin's house, let's go to the store first."

"Cheng Mingyin?" Shen Yubai was not familiar with this name.

Shen Sinian: "A girl from the next class, in the same class as Ningning in the first year of high school."

Shen Yubai said "oh" and paused before saying, "She knows quite a lot of people."

Shen Sinian: “?”

What did his father mean by that? Jealous? That shouldn't be the case. The other party is a girl, and he doesn't have anything to be jealous about.

Shen Sinian was curious, but didn't dare to ask.

The two walked out of the school. When they reached the door, they were stopped by a female voice, "Shen Yubai."

The two of them glanced sideways and saw the girl hurriedly approaching. Shen Sinian frowned calmly, pursed his lips and said, "I'll wait for you over there."

Before Shen Yubai could say anything, Shen Sinian walked away.

He looked at Shen Sinian's back, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhiyan had just summoned up the courage to call him. She raised her head slightly and met his deep gaze. Her heart beat faster, "I..."

She pursed her lips, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "I want to ask you, will you go home this weekend?"

Xu Zhiyan knew that Shen Yubai lived in a house near the school and he rarely went home.

Originally, she was going to ask him at noon, but after returning to the classroom with Tang Ruoqing, there were so many classmates sitting in the classroom that Xu Zhiyan backed out. Therefore, she waited until school was over and found the right opportunity to call him.

Shen Yubai: "What's the matter?"

His attitude was too cold. Xu Zhiyan's breathing stagnated slightly. She said softly, "No, I just want to ask. Aunt Sang invited us to dinner at her home this weekend. I want to know if you will go back."

"Since it was my mother who invited you." Shen Yubai said coldly, "What does that have to do with me?"

Xu Zhiyan was choked by his question, her face looked a little ugly, "I... I'm just curious."

Shen Yubai said "oh" without giving her any face, "No."

Xu Zhiyan: "...Okay, okay."

She drooped her eyelashes and looked helpless and pitiful.

After answering her question, Shen Yubai didn't even glance at her, and turned to walk towards where Shen Sinian was.

Watching the two people leaving, Xu Zhiyan's eyes were red. She didn't understand... Why was Shen Yubai always so cold to her? They had known each other since childhood and were childhood sweethearts in the eyes of their elders.

"..."

Shen Yubai didn't care about Xu Zhiyan's thoughts. He walked to Shen Sinian's side and the two of them walked towards the shop.

After walking for a while, Shen Yubai glanced at the silent boy next to him and asked casually, "Do you hate Xu Zhiyan?"

"Ah?" Shen Sinian looked sideways at Shen Yubai with a blank expression, "Is there?"

Shen Yubai stared at him deeply, "Why?"

He also didn't answer whether he had it or not.

Because Shen Sinian's dislike for Xu Zhiyan was too obvious.

Shen Yubai had seen him interacting with many classmates at school, both boys and girls, including the two classmates with whom he had fought before. Shen Sinian did not treat them with the cold attitude he had when he first met Xu Zhiyan.

Shen Sinian was very unhappy when he heard Shen Yubai's question, "Do you need a reason to hate someone?"

Shen Yubai: "You may not need to hate someone you know, but you and Xu Zhiyan don't know each other, so why do you hate her?"

After the words fell, Shen Yubai realized, "In the future, we will have contact with her?"

If that's the case, then it makes sense that Shen Sinian hates her.

However, Shen Yubai himself was unlikely to have any dealings with her, and Xu Chuning... didn't look like he would make friends with Xu Zhiyan. They had completely different personalities, and it was unlikely that they would know each other, or even become friends.

Shen Sinian paused, lowered his eyes and hummed, "I guess so."

Hearing this, Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes, observing the subtle changes in Shen Sinian's expression, and was a little surprised: "Really?"

He found it strange, "Is it me, or is she associated with her?"

Shen Sinian was startled. He had a hunch that Shen Yubai would be aware of something fishy. He paused and said very alertly, "It's grandma."

If it was Sang Menglan, then it would make sense.

Because Sang Menglan and Xu Zhiyan's mother are good friends.

Shen Yubai nodded slightly and asked again: "Has she ever offended you?"

Refers to the future.

Shen Sinian was silent for a moment, then said vaguely, "I'm sorry."

Xu Zhiyan often made Xu Chuning unhappy. To Shen Sinian, anyone who made Xu Chuning unhappy was his sworn enemy.

Shen Yubai: "Okay, I understand."

Shen Sinian looked at him, "What do you know? You won't talk to her anymore?"

"..." Shen Yubai was choked by his childish words and glanced at him, "When did I take the initiative to talk to her?"

Shen Sinian said proudly: "Who knows?"

He threatened Shen Yubai without any confidence, "Anyway, if you take the initiative to talk to her in the future, I will tell Ning Ning."

Shen Yubai's lips moved slightly, "Tell her what?"

"Tell her that when you like her and want to pursue her someday, I'll let her keep you hanging."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He wanted to refute that it was impossible for him to like Xu Chuning, or even pursue her. But when the words came to his lips, he felt that he couldn't say it too confidently.

Finally, Shen Yubai just pulled his lower lip slightly, looked down at Shen Sinian, and said lightly, "You are really my good son."
