Back to my parents when I was seventeen

There was silence in the store for a few seconds.

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yubai, very surprised.

Shen Yubai was calm. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at her nonchalantly, saying casually, "The transcript after the exam will be posted on the school magazine column. Did you forget?"

Before the division of arts and sciences, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai's grades were not far apart. Shen Yubai always ranked first, and Xu Chuning couldn't guarantee that her score would be second, but she was very stable and consistently ranked in the top five in the grade. Her science scores were relatively weaker, and her math was also a little worse, so she was sometimes third in the grade, and sometimes fifth.

Shen Yubai himself actually didn't have the habit of looking at transcripts, but Ban Shu liked to look at them, and Pei Shao would also look at them before he transferred to another school.

If the two of them wanted to go and see, Shen Yubai would naturally be carried over.

The first time he heard Xu Chuning's name was after the first exam of Meiji Junior High School. Ban Shu dragged him to the school magazine column to check the results. He looked from top to bottom and was very familiar with the first few names, because among the top five in the grade, three were from the international class.

By the time he got to fourth place, he was just an ordinary name in an ordinary class.

Ban Shu couldn't help but be surprised, "Oh, this is a girl, right? She's from a regular class, and she can actually rank fourth in the grade, that's really good."

Everyone knows that there are differences in the resources that students in regular classes and international classes can access in all aspects.

A very simple example, not to mention the teaching conditions of Zhizhong Middle School, but the resources that families can provide since childhood, Shen Yubai and his classmates in the international class always have an advantage. As long as the students themselves are willing, their families can send their children to summer camps or winter camps during the winter and summer vacations without any problems, not to mention hiring tutors.

Shen Yubai has never been invited, but he has taken Olympiad mathematics classes since he was a child and would go to summer camps abroad during the winter and summer vacations.

Compared with most students in ordinary classes, students in international classes have much better resources.

So it’s no wonder that Ban Shu was surprised.

Shen Yubai subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the report card not far away. Before he could say anything, Pei Shao beside him exclaimed, "I think I know who she is."

The two of them looked at him sideways.

Pei Shao smiled, "Her mother opened a breakfast shop not far from the school. I once went in to buy breakfast."

Banshu's eyes lit up, "Is it delicious?"

Pei Shao: "Not bad, you can try it if you want."

As the three were talking, Pei Shao said, "It seems like she is."

The two looked in the direction Pei Shao pointed. Shen Yubai saw Xu Chuning, who had a high ponytail, fair skin, pale lips, and looked malnourished, but had big, bright eyes. Her round, almond-shaped eyes sparkled with an unusual light. She was wearing the uniform of Meiji Junior High School and standing with a group of classmates who were also wearing school uniforms, but inexplicably people could see her at a glance.

She doesn't have a strong and dark complexion, but her facial features are delicate and three-dimensional. At first glance, she makes people feel distant, yet comfortable.

He is cool and aloof, and seems to be a bit unsociable, but not annoying.

That was Shen Yubai's first impression of Xu Chuning.

But he never mentioned this matter to Xu Chuning.

……

"Oh..." Xu Chu Ning had forgotten about the school magazine column. After hearing what Shen Yubai said, she nodded slowly and whispered, "You have a good memory."

I can remember everything I saw in the school magazine column.

Shen Yubai was brought back to his senses by her voice. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.

After returning the phone to Xu Chuning, Shen Yubai suddenly asked, "Are you free tonight?"

Xu Chu Ning: "What's wrong?"

Shen Yubai: "Will you accompany me to buy something for Shen Sinian?"

"What to buy?" Xu Chu Ning was surprised.

Shen Yubai: "A reward for the final exam."

Xu Chu Ning: "Reward?"

She didn't know that Shen Sinian had asked Shen Yubai for a reward, "What does he want?"

Shen Yubai looked at her, "What did he ask you for?"

He didn't know this.

Xu Chu Ning said calmly, "He said he wanted to go to Pingning to play for a few days."

Shen Yubai suddenly realized, "Camera."

"Camera?" Xu Chu Ning was really a little surprised. She thought that the reward Shen Sinian wanted was not a physical thing. Whether he was looking for her or Shen Yubai, he should want them to accompany him to go somewhere to play, or to accompany him to do something.

She didn't expect Shen Sinian to ask for the camera by name.

“What does he need a camera for?”

Nowadays, there are very few people who can afford a camera.

Shen Yubai looked at her with amusement, "What can you do with a camera?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

Also.

"Are you free?" Shen Yubai asked again.

Xu Chuning: "Does he have a favorite model? Or do you know which one he likes?"

Shen Yubai: "I don't know, no."

Xu Chu Ning opened her mouth and was about to ask how to buy it. Before she could finish her words, Shen Yubai calmly said, "Just buy the latest and most expensive one."

Xu Chuning: “…”

That makes sense, rich people are rich people.

"The store shouldn't be busy tonight. I'll tell my mom." Xu Chuning answered him.

Shen Yubai: "Okay."

But unfortunately, Xu Chu Ning was not busy, but Shen Yubai had something to do.

Just as the two of them had agreed, Shen Yubai received a call from Sang Menglan, saying that there was something going on at home and asked him to go home.

There was no other way; the two of them had to postpone buying a camera to another day.

Not long after Shen Yubai left, You Shuzhen came back from next door.

Seeing the pile of things on the table, You Shuzhen asked in surprise, "What is this? Did Xiao Shen bring it?"

Xu Chuning turned her head to look, and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to give him the money. When she asked for the money, Shen Yubai was very cold and made it clear that he didn't want to take her money.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu Ning felt a bit of a headache.

Shen Sinian doesn't want money, so how can she "repay" him? She doesn't like to owe favors to others.

"Ningning?" You Shuzhen looked at her dazed daughter and waved her hand in front of her. "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Chu Ning came back to her senses, "Mom, he brought it here."

You Shuzhen smiled and nodded, "Mom, can you take a look?"

Although You Shuzhen is not well educated, she knows how to respect Xu Chuning.

Xu Chuning smiled: "Of course, he brought the calligraphy and some mock test papers."

You Shuzhen flipped through it and said, "Then you will be busy during the summer vacation."

Xu Chu Ning laughed, "Mom, other parents all want their children to study all day long."

When it comes to You Shuzhen, she often hopes that Xu Chuning can go out and play and relax.

You Shuzhen said frankly, "I don't want you to be too stressed."

Xu Chuning is obedient and sensible enough.

Therefore, You Shuzhen feels sorry for her. She hopes that she can enjoy the freedom and happiness that she should enjoy at this age like most of her peers.

Learning is important, but you can't keep yourself tense all the time.

She was too tense. If something unexpected happened one day, she was afraid that Xu Chu Ning would be upset.

Knowing her worries, Xu Chu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't worry, Mom, that day won't come."
