Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 129 Do You Want to Come Up?

"Ningning!" Shen Sinian became anxious after hearing her apology. "I'm telling you, I'm not trying to make you feel guilty and apologize to me."

He whispered, "I only answered because you asked. I don't blame you at all now."

He knew why Xu Chuning would work so hard in the future and put so much thought into the restaurant.

Because that was You Shuzhen's wish.

She was helping You Shuzhen realize her unfulfilled wish.

After hearing what Shen Sinian said, Xu Chuning did not say anything. Her focus was different from Shen Sinian's.

He said he no longer blames them, which means... he did blame them before.

Of course, Xu Chu Ning understood his resentment. If she was treated so coldly by her parents, she would not only feel resentful, but she would even hate them. She would never be like Shen Sinian, thinking about them all the time.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu Ning felt even more guilty.

"Why aren't you talking?" Shen Sinian was a little anxious.

Xu Chu Ning came back to his senses, closed his eyes and said, "No, I was just watching them catch fish and got distracted."

She didn't want Shen Sinian to know that she was in a bad mood, as she was afraid that Shen Sinian would worry.

Xu Chuning paused and changed the subject abruptly, "How many scenes do you have today? Do you have a lot of scenes today?"

"Today is fine." Shen Sinian said, "If everything goes well today, we can finish work around 3 or 4 in the afternoon."

The mother and son chatted for a while, and only hung up the phone reluctantly when someone called Shen Sinian.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Sinian looked at his assistant, "What's wrong?"

"The director said he wants to discuss the next scene with you."

Shen Sinian hurried over.

After discussing with the director, Shen Sinian thought for a few seconds, and before the next scene started, he opened his phone again and sent a message to Shen Yubai: [I said something wrong and made Ningning unhappy. Can you help me comfort her? ]

Shen Yubai saw the message from Shen Sinian after he had finished fishing and returned home and taken a shower.

At that time, Xu Chuning was helping You Shuzhen in the kitchen downstairs, and Shen Yubai was standing on the balcony on the second floor, looking down at her movements. She moved skillfully, calmly, and without showing any impatience.

If other people of my age had to do things at home during the summer vacation, they would have gotten bored long ago.

Shen Yubai stared at Xu Chuning for a long time. When he saw that she noticed something and looked up at him, he calmly withdrew his gaze and replied to Shen Sinian: [Why did you make her unhappy? ]

Shen Sinian was filming and couldn't reply in time.

Shen Yubai observed Xu Chuning for a while, but didn't notice anything wrong with her mood.

However, she has always been good at hiding her true emotions, so it is normal that he cannot see it.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yubai turned around and went downstairs.

"Need help?" he asked.

You Shuzhen: "No need, Xiao Shen, you guys are all tired this morning, go to the living room and rest."

Shen Yubai: "It's okay, Aunt You, I'm not tired."

He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Chuning, "How about I help you out and you go sit with grandma for a while?"

"..." Xu Chu Ning raised his head, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you know how to cut into strips?"

Shen Yubai was stumped by her question.

After asking this question, Xu Chu Ning said nonchalantly, "No, go and rest. I'll be done soon."

Shen Yubai didn't move.

Xu Chu Ning was suspicious, "What are you still standing here for?"

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes, stared at her deeply for a while, and said, "Nothing, call me if you need help."

You Shuzhen was still beside him, so he didn't want to ask her directly about Shen Sinian.

Xu Chuning nodded.

I returned to the living room and the other people also came down.

Shen Yubai and a few others accompanied grandma to chat and watch TV, it was a lively occasion.

After lunch, everyone digested their food for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest. The sun in Pingning was not as scorching as that in Jiangcheng, but it was not weak either.

At noon time, there were almost no people walking outside.

Grandma had the habit of taking a nap, and You Shuzhen also went back to her room to rest. On the contrary, Xu Chuning sat quietly in the living room reading a book.

Only when his cell phone vibrated did Xu Chu Ning turn to the first page of the book.

She picked up her phone and opened it, and saw a message from the person upstairs: [Taking a nap? ]

Xu Chuning: [No, I'm in the living room.]

Shen Yubai upstairs raised his eyes, thought for a moment and asked: [Do you want to come up? ]

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, and realized that Shen Yubai was going to the guest room where he was. She paused and hesitated for a few seconds: [Do you have something to tell me? ]

Shen Yubai: [Yes.]

Xu Chuning: [Is it convenient? ]

She meant that she went to his room.

Shen Yubai: [This is your home.]

He was at Xu Chuning's house, and she, as the host, asked him if it was inconvenient.

Xu Chu Ning had different ideas from Shen Yubai. The room had already been arranged for Shen Yubai to live in, so during the time he was staying there, if she, as the host, wanted to go there, she had to ask for his opinion first.

After getting Shen Yubai's answer, Xu Chuning simply picked up the book and went upstairs.

As soon as she reached the second floor, Shen Yubai poked his head out of the room. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Xu Chuning pretended to be calm and walked towards him.

"What do you want to say?"

Shen Yubai stepped aside to let her in without closing the door.

Upon realizing this, Xu Chu Ning asked without giving it much thought, "Are you not closing the door?"

Shen Yubai: "It's not easy to turn off."

They were both high school students, and even though they knew in their hearts that they were just classmates, they would still have second thoughts if they were discovered after the door was closed.

Even though the people in the other two rooms were their good friends, Shen Yubai didn't want them to misunderstand him and Xu Chuning at this time.

At least, we can't let them mistakenly think that Xu Chu Ning is such a casual person.

Xu Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh..."

She pursed her lips a little unnaturally and said softly, "Did Shen Sinian come to see you?"

Xu Chu Ning was very smart and had already guessed what Shen Yubai wanted to say to him.

Hearing her question, Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows, "What did he tell you?"

"You didn't ask him?" Xu Chu Ning asked back.

Shen Yubai: "I asked, but he must be busy. He hasn't replied to my message yet."

Looking at Shen Yubai's depressed expression, Xu Chu Ning wanted to laugh a little, "Nothing."

She glanced at the room after Shen Yubai moved in. It wasn't much different from before. Except for an open suitcase in the room, Shen Yubai hardly moved anything else.

Xu Chu Ning couldn't help but glance at the sofa not far away.

There was a folded blanket and a white T-shirt on the sofa.

Her eyes stayed on the white T-shirt for a few seconds, then moved away. "He just mentioned something about the future."

Shen Yubai: "What's going to happen in the future?"

he asked.

Xu Chu Ning lowered his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "In the future, we seem to be particularly unconcerned about Shen Sinian."

Shen Yubai paused, frowning slightly, "Did he say that himself?"

Xu Chuning simply told Shen Yubai about their conversation.

After listening, Shen Yubai also fell silent.

Will he and Xu Chuning be so irresponsible in the future? Not likely.
