Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 184: Be on guard against all odds

As soon as the two of them made the appointment, Ye Qiongfang and the servants brought out the fruit from the kitchen.

"Ningning, Yubai, eat some fruit."

Shen Yubai responded, "Sorry to bother Aunt Ye."

Ye Qiongfang smiled and asked Xu Chuning, "Do you want to watch TV?"

Xu Chuning nodded, "Okay."

With the sound of the TV, the room became more lively.

Although Xu Chuning and Ye Qiongfang were already very familiar with each other, they still had very little to say when they chatted.

After Shen Yubai arrived, he became the one chatting and talking with Ye Qiongfang.

Listening to the two people chatting, Xu Chu Ning tilted his head and glanced at the person next to him.

Noticing her gaze, Shen Yubai glanced sideways and asked with a frivolous look: What's wrong?

Xu Chuning shook his head slightly.

After sitting with the two of them for a while, You Shuzhen went to the kitchen to busy herself. She wanted to cook a meal for Xu Chuning herself. Of course, the servants would also be there to help.

After everyone left, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai were the only ones left in the living room.

After sitting for a while, Xu Chu Ning asked: "Do you want to go for a walk in the yard?"

Shen Yubai: "Let's go."

He knew that Xu Chu Ning was also feeling a little uncomfortable.

When the two of them left, Xu Yiming was still in the yard, talking on the phone. He was gesticulating and seemed a little excited.

After the two of them walked a little further away, Shen Yubai tilted his head and asked, "What did you want to tell me in the room just now?"

"It's nothing, actually." Xu Chu Ning said, "I just unexpectedly discovered that you and my mom have a lot to talk about."

Shen Yubai laughed: "Really?"

Xu Chuning: “Yes.”

She said lightly: "I often don't know what to talk to them about."

Because of the silence, I always feel a little uncomfortable and awkward.

Shen Yubai understood her thoughts. He thought for a few seconds and said comfortingly, "In fact, you don't have to say anything when you are with your parents."

He looked at her, "They will be happy if they just stay together and enjoy some quiet and free time."

"Is that so?" Xu Chu Ning was a little confused.

Shen Yubai: "That's right."

He raised his hand and patted Xu Chuning's head, "Are you sure you want to stay here tonight?"

Xu Chu Ning nodded, "I'm here, my mother and sister are not at home."

If she didn't live here, Ye Qiongfang might want to live over there in the community and be with her.

Shen Yubai understood, "You can't sleep so you send me a message?"

Xu Chu Ning: "...I go to bed early."

Shen Yubai smiled but said nothing.

The Xu family’s yard is very large, and there are many flowers and trees planted in it.

Ye Qiongfang is a person who loves life very much, which can be seen from this point. In addition, there is a small pavilion for drinking tea and a swing in the yard.

When they walked near the swing, Xu Chu Ning suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Yu Bai, "I saw Xu Zhi Yan sitting on the swing outside before."

Shen Yubai suddenly.

Xu Chu Ning smiled at him and said, "I found out about my relationship with them that weekend. I sneaked in and stood over there."

At that time, Xu Chuning quietly hid in the corner, peeping at Xu Zhiyan and the others' happiness. At that time, when he saw Ye Qiongfang and the others playing with Xu Zhiyan and the look in their eyes when they looked at her, Xu Chuning gave up the idea of ​​stepping through the door and telling them his true identity.

Hearing this, a picture emerged in Shen Yubai's mind.

At that time, Xu Chuning must have been carrying her big schoolbag, wearing a high ponytail, and wearing the same outfit she used to wear: washed-out jeans and a T-shirt. If the weather was cold, she might even have worn an inconspicuous coat on the outside.

At that time, she was in stark contrast to the people inside.

Thinking of this, Shen Yubai felt a little bitter in his heart, "Xu Chuning."

Xu Chuning: "What?"

When meeting Shen Yubai's gaze, Xu Chu Ning smiled, "Shen Yubai, I'm not telling you this to ask you to sympathize with me."

She admitted, "I can say it very frankly, which proves that I don't care much anymore."

Shen Yubai didn't say anything.

He only knew that no matter what happened to him and her in the future, he would never let Xu Chuning suffer similar grievances again. He did not make a choice between the two. For him, Xu Chuning was the only one.

Shen Yubai guessed that Xu Chu Ning did not push open the door at that time and kept the matter in his heart afterwards because he did not want to be chosen.

She was afraid of being eliminated.

In this regard, Xu Chu Ning is a person with little confidence.

She was worried that she would not be chosen firmly.

"I know." Shen Yubai pulled back his wandering thoughts and responded, "I called you just to tell you something."

He paused, "You don't need to worry about this problem with me or Shen Sinian."

Xu Chuning: “Ah?”

Shen Yubai raised his hand and tapped her forehead, and said in a low and slow voice: "You will always be our first choice, and there will be no second."

There is no choice between them.

Both now and in the future.

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning was stunned, "...Don't speak too early."

Shen Yubai: "I dare say, I can do it."

Xu Chu Ning was speechless and wanted to say something, but Shen Yubai interrupted her, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go for a walk over there?"

Xu Chu Ning hesitated: "We'll have dinner later."

"Aunt Ye wants to prepare a full banquet for you, but it won't be that fast."

Xu Chuning: “…”

She couldn't help laughing, "Are you making fun of my mom?"

Shen Yubai looked innocent, "How dare I?"

The two of them chatted and laughed, walked out of the yard for a while, and then returned home.

After returning home and waiting for more than ten minutes, the Xu family finally started serving dinner.

Just like Shen Yubai said, Ye Qiongfang really prepared a lot of dishes, almost all of which were Xu Chuning’s favorites.

After dinner, Xu Chuning received a call from You Shuzhen, saying that she and her sister had arrived home.

Xu Chu Ning cried with joy, "Is grandma okay?"

"She is a little emotional." You Shuzhen told her, "I will call you again in the evening and ask her to talk to you."

Xu Chuning agreed.

The mother and daughter chatted for a few words, and after confirming that Li Xiaonan and her grandmother were fine, they hung up the phone reluctantly.

In the afternoon, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai went out and went to the library together.

Xu Yiming originally wanted to send them off in person, but was rejected by Xu Chuning. She liked taking the bus very much. As for Shen Yubai... if Xu Chuning liked it, he could give it a try.

Watching the two people walk out of the house, Xu Yiming sighed with a sour feeling, "I hope the last six months will pass more slowly."

Ye Qiongfang: "...it will pass no matter how slowly it goes."

The couple looked at each other, Xu Yiming raised his hand and touched his nose and asked, "When is Yu Bai's birthday?"

Ye Qiongfang: "January."

"Ningning's birthday is in May," Xu Yiming said, "just before the college entrance examination."

In other words, after the college entrance examination, the two of them became real adults.

At that time, the two of them will not be bound by anything.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiming muttered, "Why don't we take Ningning on a trip abroad after the college entrance examination?"

Ye Qiongfang: "...What if they get together after their birthday?"

Xu Yiming: “…”

No matter how careful you are, you can never be sure of your brother's son.
