Back to my parents when I was seventeen

If Shen Yubai remembered correctly, this was the first time Shen Sinian called him that. Before, the identity of brother only existed to the outside world.

So today...why did he call him like that?

For some unknown reason, Shen Yubai inexplicably felt that something was not right with the two people in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to speak when he met Xu Chuning's complicated eyes. Shen Yubai paused and looked down at her, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xu Chu Ning was stunned and asked in surprise, "What?"

She didn't react to how she looked at him.

Shen Yubai stared at her straightly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No," Xu Chu Ning suddenly came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and asked unexpectedly, "Are you going?"

Shen Yubai: "Where are you going?"

Shen Sinian covered his lips and coughed. Knowing what Xu Chuning meant, he answered for her, "Ningning means, do you want to go upstairs to see the Xu family?"

To avoid Shen Yubai's doubts, Shen Sinian added, "If we don't go, should we leave the hospital?"

"No." Shen Yubai said calmly, not knowing why he had to explain himself, "The Shen and Xu families are close, but I am not close to them."

Xu Chu Ning: “…Oh.”

Shen Sinian: “…”

Ban Shu thought these three people were all weird. After being ignored for a long time, he couldn't help but speak up, "Let's go, I think Aunt Ye should be fine."

The others didn't say anything.

Walking out of the hospital, Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but look back, and then left resolutely.

When I returned to the shop from the hospital, it happened to be the dinner rush hour.

Shen Yubai and Ban Shu said they wanted to have dinner at a small restaurant. Xu Chuning glanced at them and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Ban Shu: "Xu Chu Ning, are you a good cook?"

Xu Chu Ning nodded, "You want to have dinner with us?"

"..." Banshu smiled awkwardly, "Is it convenient?"

Xu Chu Ning was about to say it was convenient when a clear voice came down, "It's not convenient."

Ban Shu: “…”

Xu Chuning: “…”

The two turned to look at Shen Yubai who said this. Shen Yubai looked calm and glanced at Ban Shu indifferently, "Don't you see they are very busy?"

He didn't admit that he was unhappy that Ban Shu could eat the dinner made by Xu Chuning.

Ban Shu choked slightly, his lips moving, "I don't want to eat now."

He can wait.

Shen Yubai: "They eat very late, you are not going home today?"

"?"

Ban Shu exclaimed, and was about to ask Xu Chu Ning how late it was, but before he could ask, Shen Yubai said, "Let's eat noodles."

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yubai, "Are you sure?"

Shen Yubai: "Yeah."

Xu Chuning agreed and asked You Shuzhen to cook two bowls of noodles.

You Shuzhen had already seen the two of them, and she smiled and agreed, "Okay."

Ban Shu, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian did not stay in the shop for long. After eating noodles, the three of them left first.

After they left, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen were busy for another half an hour before the customers in the store gradually left and the two of them were able to rest.

After packing up the shop, the mother and daughter went home together.

When they got home, Xu Chuning showed the medical examination report to You Shuzhen and sat down on the chair next to her. "Mom, there is nothing wrong with your health, but your waist doctor suggested taking another X-ray."

Before Xu Chuning could finish her words, You Shuzhen, who had just finished reading the medical examination report, said quickly, "Ningning, the report says everything is fine. I know my waist well, so there's no need to take another X-ray."

"Mom!" Xu Chuning called her, "We have to go get this CT scan."

You Shuzhen frowned and hesitated, "What do you mean?"

Xu Chuning pursed her lips and said, "The doctor gave us advice, so we followed it."

She raised her eyes to look at You Shuzhen, her face serious, "Mom, I know you never take your health seriously, you don't take these small problems seriously, I know you are reluctant to spend money, but we can earn money back if we work hard, it will be difficult to recover if your body is broken."

Xu Chuning didn't know why he said all this to You Shuzhen so seriously. In this matter, the mother and daughter often switched roles. You Shuzhen didn't care about her own body, but Xu Chuning cared about hers.

She didn't want anything to happen to her.

Of course, she also knew that this was just her own worry. You Shuzhen was still young and in good health, so it was impossible for her to suddenly get into trouble. But for some reason, Xu Chuning would think more and think further ahead.

She couldn't avoid worrying in advance.

Especially after what happened in the afternoon, she became even more worried.

"Mom, we have already done the physical examination, so we don't need this film. We can do the film without closing the breakfast shop. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after selling breakfast, you can go to the hospital to take one. It can be done quickly." Xu Chuning tried his best to persuade You Shuzhen.

You Shuzhen listened to her and was silent for a long time, "Is it really that fast?"

Xu Chu Ning nodded heavily, "Really, you don't believe me?"

It’s not that You Shuzhen didn’t believe her, she just didn’t like hospitals and resisted going to them.

Xu Chu Ning also knew the reason behind this.

You Shuzhen's husband died in the hospital, and she was afraid of hospitals.

"It's not that I don't believe it." You Shuzhen sighed, "Forget it. If I don't make this film, you will definitely keep nagging me about it every day."

Xu Chu Ning burst into laughter, reached out to hug her, and said softly: "Mom, I hope you are healthy."

You Shuzhen was stunned for a moment, vaguely understanding her uneasiness. She raised her hand and gently stroked her head, saying softly, "Okay, Mom will listen to you and take an X-ray to put your mind at ease."

Xu Chu Ning smiled sweetly: "You must keep your word."

You Shuzhen: "When have I ever lied to you?"

Xu Chu Ning chuckled, "Then shall we go at noon tomorrow?"

"noon?"

"Yes, I get out of school at noon. I just asked Shen Yubai, and the CT scan can be taken at noon." Xu Chuning was very thoughtful. At noon, she could accompany You Shuzhen to the hospital.

You Shuzhen refused, "No, Mom, go by yourself. I'll go after nine o'clock. After the photo shoot, I can still take care of the lunch customers when I return to the store."

Xu Chuning thought for a moment, knowing that this was You Shuzhen's biggest concession, and nodded in agreement, "Okay, then if you don't know, ask the medical staff."

You Shuzhen smiled helplessly, "Your mother can read."

She had been to school before, although only in elementary school, but she knew enough to read and do math.

Xu Chu Ning said slowly, "I remember it."

She just couldn't trust her.

You Shuzhen didn't know why Xu Chuning was so clingy today, but she was happy that Xu Chuning was clinging to her. Only at this time did You Shuzhen feel that Xu Chuning was like a child who needed to be taken care of.

It was always at this time that You Shuzhen couldn't help but feel sorry for her. If she was not incapable, she wouldn't need to be so sensible at such a young age and consider things so thoughtfully.

The light bulb in the room was shining, illuminating this little world of mother and daughter.

Xu Chuning lay in You Shuzhen's arms, feeling the love and warmth she gave her.
