Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 179 I Don’t Give Gifts to Strange Girls

Hearing Shen Yubai's words, Xu Chu Ning looked back at him steadily.

After a long while, she hummed softly, "I'll get into a decent university first."

Shen Yubai chuckled: "Don't worry, you will be fine."

The two chatted about their future plans for a while, and after eating noodles, Ye Qiongfang came back.

Xu Chu Ning quickly stood up and asked her if she had eaten dinner.

Ye Qiongfang shook her head hesitantly, "No."

Xu Chuning: "Then shall I make you another bowl of noodles?"

She told Ye Qiongfang, "I just fried the sauce."

"Okay." Ye Qiongfang said with a smile, "I like to eat noodles with soybean paste."

In fact, Ye Qiongfang would like anything Xu Chuning did.

Shen Sinian chatted with the two of them for a while before going upstairs.

After Ye Qiongfang finished eating, Xu Chuning cleaned up the kitchen and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, Ye Qiongfang asked her about the school sports meeting with concern.

After chatting, Xu Chuning also went into the room to sleep.

During the next two days of the sports meet, You Shuzhen only sent a few text messages to Xu Chuning, and then there was no news from her.

Xu Chuning was worried and asked Shen Yubai if Shen Xingyan and the others had called him. Shen Yubai knew what she was worried about and comforted her, "They called one and he said he was fine, so we can rest assured."

The sports meet ended on Friday afternoon.

Xu Chuning and his friends welcomed the weekend. On the way home, Xu Chuning was obviously a little absent-minded.

Realizing this, Shen Sinian bumped into Shen Yubai next to him.

Shen Yubai glanced at him and shook his head helplessly.

Xu Chuning was worried about You Shuzhen, and he could not comfort her. At present, she would only feel at ease if You Shuzhen called her and told her she was safe, or if she returned home.

When the three of them walked to the gate of the community, Xu Chu Ning's cell phone rang.

She quickly took out her cell phone, and when she saw You Shuzhen calling, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, "Mom."

"It's me." You Shuzhen's slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ningning, I picked up your sister."

She cried with joy, "We will be back tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Chu Ning was pleasantly surprised: "Okay, then I'll pick you up?"

You Shuzhen: "No need to answer the phone, just wait for us at home. We are on our way to the airport now. Mommy will tell you first."

She knew Xu Chu Ning would be worried about her.

"Okay." Xu Chu Ning agreed and wiped away her tears. "Then I'll wait for you guys to come home."

You Shuzhen: "Yeah. Don't worry too much about us. Mom will tell you when we get on the plane."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chu Ning looked up at the two of them, "They picked her up."

Shen Yubai looked at her happy expression and raised his lips slightly, "Are you happy now?"

Xu Chu Ning: “…a little bit.”

Shen Sinian: "Since it's my aunt who's back, should we prepare some gifts for her?"

Xu Chu Ning thought for a moment, "Shall we go for a walk?"

I just don’t know what “Li Xiaonan” likes and what gift they should give her.

Shen Yubai nodded: "The mall is not closed yet, let's go to the mall."

"it is good."

Before going to the mall, Xu Chuning called Ye Qiongfang.

Xu Yiming told Ye Qiongfang that he would be back in the evening, and would be home around 10pm. When she heard Xu Chuning say that she was going shopping with Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai, she agreed without any objection: "Okay, do you have any money? Do you want to come to your mother's place? I'll give you the money."

Xu Chu Ning refused: "No, I have money."

It's not that much, but it's definitely enough to buy gifts.

Ye Qiongfang understood and did not force her, "Okay, then tell me if you don't have enough."

Xu Chuning responded.

The three of them went to the mall. After entering the mall, they looked at each other and started to have headaches.

"What to buy?"

Hearing this question, Xu Chuning looked at Shen Sinian, "Don't you know what she likes?"

Shen Sinian told the truth, "Auntie doesn't really like to talk."

Because of her experience, Li Xiaonan is a little autistic, and she doesn't like to communicate with others. Even Shen Sinian, she doesn't talk to him much.

The things she and Shen Sinian talked about the most were probably polite words.

She only talks more in front of Xu Chu Ning.

However, Xu Chuning was very busy, so they didn't meet very often and didn't spend much time together. Therefore, Shen Sinian didn't know this aunt that well.

Hearing Shen Sinian's words, Xu Chuning couldn't help but reflect on his future self, "Am I really... so busy?"

Shen Sinian nodded resentfully.

Xu Chuning: “…”

Shen Yubai spoke at the right time, "You are busy with important matters."

He whispered, "Don't be too stressed, this is normal."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned, "Really?"

Shen Yubai nodded, "Let's not talk about this for now. She just came back. She needs clothes and other daily necessities, right?"

"Then I'll buy a cup for my aunt." Shen Sinian suggested, "How about a special drinking cup?"

Xu Chuning: "I think it's okay."

Shen Yubai: "... Is it inappropriate for me to give her a gift?"

Xu Chu Ning was at a loss, "I don't know either."

Shen Yubai thought for a moment and looked at Shen Sinian: "Buy more and I'll pay."

Shen Sinian understood and asked quietly, "Are you worried that Ningning will be jealous?"

"..." Shen Yubai: "I don't give gifts to strange girls."

Shen Sinian: "That's my future aunt."

Shen Yubai: "Other girls too."

He didn't send any other girls off except Xu Chuning.

Shen Sinian tutted at him.

The two spoke in low voices, and Xu Chu Ning did not hear what they were mumbling. She looked around and saw a daily necessities store not far away. "Then let's go to that store and have a look?"

Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai looked up in time and answered her in unison: "Okay."

The three of them entered the store, Shen Sinian went to pick out cups, while Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning walked together, browsing other shelves.

After a round of shopping, Xu Chuning bought a new towel, slippers, and a brand new set of pajamas. She didn't know what Li Xiaonan liked, but she guessed that she would definitely need a set of pajamas of her own.

Xu Chuning has not bought any clothes for daily wear yet. She wants to leave this opportunity to You Shuzhen and let her bring her sister to buy them in person.

After buying some miscellaneous items, Xu Chuning went to buy toothpaste, toothbrush and other daily necessities. After that, the three of them went home together.

When I got home, Ye Qiongfang had already returned.

Xu Yiming and the others would send You Shuzhen and the others home first. She also wanted to see them, so she came here to wait for people.

Seeing the three people enter the house together, Ye Qiongfang was not surprised: "You are back."

Xu Chuning responded.

Seeing what Shen Yubai was holding, Ye Qiongfang smiled knowingly, "Did Ningning buy all this?"

Xu Chuning nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work," said Ye Qiongfang.

Shen Yubai paused for a moment, then calmed down and said, "It's my duty."

Xu Chuning: “…”
