Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Shen Yubai is smart and perceptive. He knows that he will not get the answer if he asks Shen Sinian whether Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan have any grudges.

Then if you ask him indirectly about the relationship, he might tell you vaguely.

After sending the message, Shen Yubai stared at his phone in deep thought. Before Shen Sinian showed up, he had never heard of any conflict between Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan. Of course, it could also be that he didn't care about the grievances between girls, so he didn't know.

However, Xu Chu Ning's personality doesn't seem like the type that would take the initiative to cause trouble. Now, she mostly does things with the idea of ​​making a big thing small and a small thing nothing.

Then there is only the future left.

But in the future, what will cause conflicts between the two people?

Shen Yubai couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, he thought of the rumors at school. Could it be because of him? That was unlikely.

Shen Yubai was relatively self-aware, and it was unlikely that Xu Chuning would have a quarrel with Xu Zhiyan because of him.

Of course, it is also possible that Xu Zhiyan unilaterally regards Xu Chuning as a thorn in her side, but if that is the case, then it should be Xu Zhiyan who hates Xu Chuning, not Shen Sinian who hates Xu Zhiyan.

After thinking it over and over again, Shen Yubai felt that he seemed to have overlooked the most important context.

But what was the thread that he had overlooked? He had no idea yet.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone dinged.

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes. It was the message that Shen Sinian replied: [General.]

Shen Yubai frowned: [Are you sure it’s normal? ]

Shen Sinian: [Yes.]

Actually not.

In the future, the relationship between Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan is not normal at all, because Xu Zhiyan hates Xu Chuning. She thinks that Xu Chuning has taken away everything she has, including Shen Yubai and Xu's parents.

However, Shen Sinian was not quite sure whether Xu Chuning hated or disliked Xu Zhiyan. He had not heard Xu Chuning tell him about it. He only heard Sang Menglan mention a little bit about Xu Chuning returning to the Xu family.

Just based on what Sang Menglan told him, Shen Sinian knew that Xu Zhiyan was someone he hated.

He didn't know whether Xu Chu Ning disliked her or not. Anyway, he disliked her.

To prevent Shen Yubai from asking further questions, Shen Sinian changed the subject: [Why do you suddenly ask this question? ]

Shen Yubai: [Just asking.]

Shen Sinian: […Oh, you actually care about other girls’ affairs.]

Shen Yubai: [? ]

Shen Sinian: [Xu Zhiyan.]

Shen Yubai was speechless: [When did I care about her? ]

Shen Sinian: [You asked about her relationship with Ningning, but that doesn't mean you care about her? ]

Seeing this, Shen Yubai really wanted to go to the next door and call Shen Sinian out to ask him what he was thinking about. How could he be concerned about Xu Zhiyan when he asked him about Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan?

He couldn't have another guess.

As if knowing what Shen Yubai would think, Shen Sinian sent him a message: [If you like Ningning, I will give you a piece of advice.]

Shen Yubai was just about to ask when he had ever said he liked her.

Shen Sinian sent a message first: [Don’t even mention other girls’ names.]

Shen Sinian understands this very well.

For girls, they will be unhappy if boys mention their names.

What's more, Shen Yubai mentioned Xu Zhiyan. If Xu Chuning knew about this, she would be even more unhappy.

Seeing Shen Sinian's message, Shen Yubai curled his lips: [You are quite knowledgeable. ]

Shen Sinian: [Of course, this is what you in the future told me.]

Shen Yubai: [? ]

Shen Sinian: [I don’t remember it very clearly, but it was probably when I was in elementary school that a female college graduate came to your company. One time, when they went out of town to discuss a project, a manager brought this female college graduate with him. Then when you talked to Ningning on the phone, you mentioned this female college graduate.]

Shen Yubai: [Don't slander me.]

In the future, he likes Xu Chuning, and he will never do anything to let Xu Chuning down.

Shen Yubai is very confident in himself when it comes to this kind of thing.

Shen Sinian: [I didn’t say you cheated.]

Shen Yubai: [It is impossible for me to cheat. ]

Shen Sinian: [Hey, are you listening to me or not? ]

Shen Yubai: […You continue.]

Shen Sinian: [Anyway, I don’t know the specific situation, but in short, Ningning heard the name of the female college student from you, and then she got angry with you.]

Shen Yubai: [I didn't do anything to offend her, but she's still angry?]

Shen Sinian: [After you coaxed her into submission, you told me that if you like a girl in the future, you are strictly prohibited from mentioning other girls’ names, even if they are your subordinates or colleagues.]

Shen Yubai: [I coaxed her into submission? ]

In the future, will he have to coax people even if he has done nothing wrong?

Shen Sinian: [Yes, otherwise you still want Ningning to coax you? ]

Shen Yubai: "..."

He didn't dare to think so.

He just wanted to know how his future self had mentioned that girl's name, causing Xu Chu Ning to be so angry.

Because Xu Chu Ning now doesn't look like someone who would get angry because of a name. She doesn't care about the scandal between him and Xu Zhiyan in school.

Thinking of this, Shen Yubai snorted somewhat unhappily.

Heartless.

The two were chatting here. Xu Chuning, who was helping a senior high school student with homework in the rental house, sneezed. You Shuzhen came out of the shower and heard it. She asked worriedly, "Did you catch a cold?"

"No." Xu Chu Ning rubbed his nose, "Mom, I'm not that fragile."

You Shuzhen glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "I'll go get you a pot of hot water. I know it's hot now and you young people like to drink cold water, but cold water is not good for your health."

She went to boil some water, muttering, "You should drink more hot water."

Xu Chu Ning listened and agreed with a smile: "I know."

She turned around and said, "Mom, you should drink more water too."

You Shuzhen doesn't like drinking water.

Maybe it’s not that she doesn’t like to drink, she just forgets easily.

When she was busy, You Shuzhen often forgot to go to the bathroom, let alone drink water. She just held it in. Xu Chuning was worried that she would get sick.

You Shuzhen raised her eyes and looked at her. "I know. Just do your homework first. I'll pour it out for you when it's done."

Xu Chuning looked at her figure standing under the light, and suddenly realized that You Shuzhen had aged a lot without him noticing. There were more frowns on her face, and from where she was standing, he could see a few floating white hairs.

Watching this scene, Xu Chu Ning's eyes inexplicably became sore. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and agreed, "You've worked hard."

You Shuzhen: "What's so hard about boiling water?"

Xu Chuning didn't say anything else.

Boiling water is not hard, but raising her, raising this family, and persisting in finding someone for so many years is hard work.

Xu Chuning would occasionally think from another perspective: if it were her, she might not be able to have such a good attitude as You Shuzhen and persist for more than ten years.

Holding on to a wish that may not necessarily come true.

Xu Chuning was just thinking about it when her cell phone in the drawer rang twice. She took it out and saw that it was three QQ messages sent to her by Shen Sinian.

Shen Sinian: [Just now he asked me about your relationship with that girl.]

Shen Sinian: […Are you really not going to let me tell him your true identity? ]

Shen Sinian: [Can I know the reason? ]
