Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 58 Flirting

Shen Yubai didn't realize that when he stopped righteously refuting Shen Sinian's arguments about the possibilities of his and Xu Chuning's future, everything had already changed silently.

Hearing Shen Yubai's mockery, Shen Sinian did not feel embarrassed. He even responded frankly, "In the future, too."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He was speechless for a few seconds, glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "Let's go."

Shen Sinian: “Oh.”

He hurriedly caught up with Shen Yubai.

On a late summer night when the sun was setting, the sunlight, cut into pieces, enveloped the father and son, stretching their shadows very long.

A classmate was passing by on a bicycle and saw the two people walking side by side. He inexplicably had the illusion that the two people looked very similar.

When Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai arrived at the store, You Shuzhen was preparing food. When she saw the two of them, she was stunned and looked back, "Ningning didn't come back with you?"

Shen Sinian: "She has something to do and will be back later."

He put down his schoolbag and said, "Aunt You, do you need help?"

You Shuzhen shook her head. "No, you guys sit for a while. Are you here to eat?"

"We'll eat later." Shen Yubai replied, "Aunt You, please do your thing. Let's talk about something."

You Shuzhen looked at the two of them and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then you can do whatever you want. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good."

It's not a good idea to discuss business in a small shop. Summer is here and a few tables have been set up in front of the shop, but it's still a bit sunny when you sit there.

Shen Yubai looked around and asked Shen Sinian, "Would you like a drink?"

"I want fruit juice." Shen Sinian said.

Shen Yubai: "...Maybe there's no fruit juice you want here."

Shen Sinian has been here for such a long time, and Shen Yubai has eaten with him many times, so he probably knows Shen Sinian's preferences and requirements. He doesn't seem to be very picky about food, and he will eat ordinary home-cooked meals, but he has extremely high requirements for drinks.

He couldn't drink the milk tea or juice near the school after taking a sip. He thought it tasted too strong of saccharin and was made from powder.

The juice he wanted to drink was freshly squeezed from fresh fruits.

The Shen family can satisfy him, but there is not much hope for the small shops outside.

"Okay." Shen Sinian: "Then let's go buy Ningning a cup. Ningning likes it."

Shen Yubai: "Let's go."

The two walked to a nearby milk tea shop. Shen Sinian looked around and ordered a few cups of lemon tea. He could barely drink lemon tea.

After buying, they returned to the shop again. Shen Sinian handed two cups of lemon tea to You Shuzhen, and then he and Shen Yubai walked outside and sat down on the small chairs.

Shen Yubai lowered his head and drank a sip of lemon tea, his lips moving slightly, "You haven't figured out what to say yet?"

He saw that Shen Sinian was dawdling.

Shen Sinian: “…I just thought of it.”

Shen Yubai raised his eyes, as if he was listening attentively.

Shen Sinian pursed his lips and whispered, "Do you remember the dance I performed in the arcade last time?"

Shen Yubai glanced sideways, his dark and narrow eyes fell on him, and there was a moment's pause, "A scout has taken a fancy to you?"

I have to say that Shen Yubai is smart.

Shen Sinian was stunned, and was surprised that he could guess so accurately. He opened his mouth and finally nodded, "Yes, he called me."

Shen Yubai: "Have you told Xu Chuning?"

Shen Sinian: “Yes.”

"She agreed to let you go?" Shen Yubai was a little surprised.

Shen Sinian: "She said she would follow me."

Shen Yubai understood and looked down at him, "Do you want to go?"

Shen Sinian raised his eyes and nodded without much hesitation, "I want to."

Shen Yubai: "Go if you want."

Shen Sinian was stunned for a moment, then hesitated and said, "You won't stop me?"

"Why should I stop you?" Shen Yubai asked in surprise.

Shen Sinian blinked, "...No, I just said it casually."

Shen Yubai stared at him, "In the future, we stopped you from doing many things you wanted to do?"

Shen Sinian: "No, but you will analyze the pros and cons with me."

They would analyze with Shen Sinian which things were suitable to be done now and which things could wait. Their future selves would not allow him to do things according to his own ideas and temperament like they do now.

Shen Yubai was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe we will have more experience in the future, and our ideas will be more mature."

Shen Sinian: "Maybe."

The two were silent for a while, and Shen Yubai asked calmly, "Which entertainment company?"

"Tomorrow's Entertainment." Shen Sinian told him the name.

Shen Yubai nodded, "Tell me before discussing the contract, and I'll ask my family to arrange a lawyer for you."

Shen Sinian was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Okay."

Xu Chuning went to Cheng Mingyin's place, and when he returned to the shop, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian had already finished discussing the matter.

Seeing her appear, Shen Sinian's face lit up with joy, "Ningning."

Xu Chu Ning walked closer to the two of them and asked in a low voice, "Have you told him?"

Shen Sinian: “Yes.”

"What did he say?" Xu Chu Ning was curious.

Just as Shen Sinian was about to speak, someone who was being ignored spoke up, "You can just ask me directly."

Xu Chuning: “…”

Shen Sinian: “…”

The two lowered their eyes and their gazes met for a moment. Xu Chu Ning turned away and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Shen Sinian: "I can do anything."

Xu Chu Ning: "...Student Shen, do you want to eat here too?"

Shen Yubai raised his eyes and said shamelessly, "If classmate Xu doesn't mind."

Xu Chu Ning: "Just pay for the food."

Shen Yubai: "No problem."

Listening to the conversation between his parents, Shen Sinian realized belatedly that he felt a little redundant, as if his parents were flirting with each other.

After having dinner at the restaurant, Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai returned to where they lived.

After Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen finished cleaning up, they went home to rest.

The next day, Saturday, it rained heavily in the morning.

Xu Chuning was awakened by the sound of rain and went to the shop with You Shuzhen.

Due to the heavy rain, not many people went out, and there were also fewer people in the breakfast shop.

Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen were busy for a while, and then they went back to their own business.

Xu Chuning was doing homework while You Shuzhen was cleaning.

When Xu Chuning had almost finished her homework, she looked up and found You Shuzhen sitting on the chair, leaning against the wall and sleeping.

There was a thick fog outside the store, and the mist formed a line that separated the inside and outside of the store. The light outside was dim, there were no customers in the store, and the lights were not turned on. Everything around was dark.

Xu Chuning stared at You Shuzhen's profile in a daze, and his eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

After not observing it for a while, You Shuzhen's hair had turned a lot whiter.

Xu Chuning watched, and when You Shuzhen's eyelids moved slightly, indicating that she was about to wake up, he quickly lowered his eyes and continued to read the book spread out on the table.

"Why did I fall asleep?" You Shuzhen muttered softly.

Xu Chu Ning pretended to be confused, "Ah?"

She raised her head and looked at You Shuzhen, and said slowly, "Mom, if you are tired, take a rest. There shouldn't be many customers today."

You Shuzhen looked at the heavy rain outside the door, which showed no sign of stopping, and sighed softly, "Okay, you should also combine work and rest."

Xu Chu Ning: “I know.”

The mother and daughter exchanged a few words, and when You Shuzhen went to the back to cook, Xu Chuning took out her cell phone and logged into QQ.

After much hesitation, she sent a message to Shen Yubai: [No news about her yet? ]
