Back to my parents when I was seventeen

The two left the classroom one after the other, and unsurprisingly, they caused quite a commotion in an instant.

The other students who were playing in the corridor also stopped when they saw the two of them appear together. The student who could talk to Shen Yubai for a few seconds was stunned for a few seconds, and asked with his lips slightly opened, "Brother Yu, where are you going?"

Shen Yubai didn't even glance at the man and walked straight to the roof of the teaching building.

Xu Chu Ning wanted to call him several times, but was unable to speak because of the classmates around him.

"..."

The door to the rooftop was locked, but Shen Yubai got the key from somewhere and unlocked it in front of Xu Chuning. He called Xu Chuning indifferently, "Come up."

Xu Chu Ning: "...Shen Yubai."

She was two steps behind him, looked up at him slightly, and reminded him, "I have class later."

Shen Yubai pursed his lips tightly, and said in a tense tone, "I have something to tell you, are you sure you can go back to class with peace of mind?"

"Can't we talk about it during the lunch break?" Xu Chu Ning didn't understand.

Shen Yubai: “No.”

His thin lips moved slightly, and he uttered three words: "Shen Sinian."

As soon as Shen Sinian's name came out, Xu Chuning was instantly controlled by him. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and walked onto the rooftop.

To prevent anyone from following, Shen Yubai locked the iron gate after Xu Chuning entered.

Xu Chu Ning heard the sound of the door being bolted, and his eyebrows jumped. He instinctively took two steps back and looked at the boy in front of him warily, "Shen Yubai, murder is against the law."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He paused and looked at her speechlessly, "Why did you believe the ridiculous things Shen Sinian said?"

"?"

The question came too suddenly. Xu Chu Ning was stunned for a moment before she realized what absurd thing he was talking about. She pursed her lips slightly, observing the annoyance on Shen Yubai's face, and guessed, "Aren't you going to believe it too?"

Shen Yubai looked straight at her.

Xu Chuning has been very good at observing people's expressions since she was a child. She grew up in a small shop and is accustomed to observing the micro-expressions of every customer in the shop. From the customers' micro-expressions, she can tell whether the other party is satisfied or dissatisfied with the bowl of noodles or porridge today.

Of course, she can also tell from the guest's subtle emotions whether the guest is in a good or bad mood today.

Therefore, she could guess what Shen Yubai was thinking at the first moment.

"Did I say something wrong?" After knowing that Shen Yubai had known the test results before her, Xu Chu Ning was no longer so afraid of him. "You know the test results, right?"

The last sentence is an affirmative sentence.

Shen Yubai looked at her for a while and asked in a deep voice, "Don't you find it strange?"

"Strange," Xu Chuning answered him, "Of course it's strange, but the appraisal report is in front of me. No matter how absurd and unbelievable the facts are, I have to believe what Shen Sinian said."

Hearing her say this, Shen Yubai did not respond. His mood at the moment was not much better than Xu Chuning's when he just saw the report.

Even though Shen Yubai had seen many strange stories since childhood, he also knew a lot of absurd things.

But after it happened to him, he was still shocked and had a headache.

He never thought that in the next few years, he would fall in love with Xu Chuning, get married, and even have a son.

To be honest, Shen Yubai didn't hate Xu Chuning.

But he didn't like her either.

The two of them were silent. Even the ringing of the class bell could not bring their wandering thoughts back.

After a long while, Shen Yubai seemed to have digested this heavy news. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Chuning, "You haven't received his and my appraisal reports yet, why do you believe what he said? I am him..."

Shen Yubai couldn't say the word "Dad" for the time being.

Xu Chu Ning was stunned. He didn't expect Shen Yubai to ask such a "tricky" question.

She was stunned for a moment, and told the truth, "...I have read the appraisal report between him and me. He said that I was his mother and did not lie to me, so there is no need to take him..." She could not say the word "Dad", she was vague, "Who lied to me?"

Shen Yubai was silent.

This was not convincing enough, but he couldn't refute it.

After another long silence, Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes to look at the man who had one hand in his pocket and frowned, "Shen Yubai."

Shen Yubai glanced at her.

Xu Chuning pursed her lips and spoke out what she had prepared in the past few days. "I took your and Shen Sinian's hair for testing, not because I wanted to get involved with you. I did this because I hoped you could intervene and let Shen Sinian go to school. As for what Shen Sinian said about the future... no one can control it. I don't have the idea of ​​falling in love too early, and I don't have the intention of dating you. I don't like you."

"What did you say?" After listening to what Xu Chuning said, Shen Yubai stared at her unhappily with a cold tone.

Xu Chu Ning exclaimed, "Did I not express myself clearly enough?"

She reflected on herself and slowly raised her request again, "I hope you can get Shen Sinian an ID card so that he can live here temporarily. He is in high school at his original place, so you have to arrange for him to enter the school as a transfer student and let him go to school."

We can't let Shen Sinian stop studying at the age of seventeen and help out at the breakfast shop every day.

What if he goes back one day and fails to keep up with all his studies?

Xu Chuning couldn't put herself in the shoes of Shen Sinian's mother, but the facts and evidence were before her, so she had to worry about Shen Sinian's affairs.

What's more, after spending these few days together, Xu Chu Ning gradually accepted the fact that she had such a big son.

After the last word fell, Xu Chuning looked at Shen Yubai's expression - she could not see anything. He had a cold face and seemed to be too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Shen Yubai," Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but call him, "Did you hear what I just said?"

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes and stared at Xu Chuning, very puzzled. How on earth could she accept so calmly the fact that her son came back to them after more than 20 years?

"..."

"Hey," Xu Chu Ning noticed that Shen Yubai's eyes were not right, frowned, took two steps towards him, raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Can you say something?"

To be honest, after what happened with Shen Sinian, Xu Chuning now believes in ghosts and gods a little. She was not afraid of ghosts before, but now she is afraid of them.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Chuning's slender wrist was held by Shen Yubai. His palm was big, his fingers were long, and his joints were strong. When the warm touch of his palm reached Xu Chuning, her breathing stagnated slightly, "You..."

She struggled with her eyes wide open, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Yubai ignored her struggles and questions. He stared at her with a frown on his face. "Xu Chuning."

"what?"

Shen Yubai: "I will arrange for someone to handle Shen Sinian's identity and schooling, but you need to answer me a question."

Xu Chu Ning frowned, "What's the problem?"

Shen Yubai: "Did he tell you when we were together?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

Is this a question worth asking?
