Chapter 112: Chapter 112 He’s More Honest Than You

Shen Yubai didn’t pay attention to Xu Chuning’s question. He first greeted You Shuzhen in the house, "Aunt You."

Then he explained why he was there, "I heard from Sinian that you were returning to Ning City today. I happened to be going to the train station to pick someone up, so I thought I’d go along with you."

His demeanor was natural, and the words he spoke were so considerate that there wasn’t a single flaw to pick out, "So I took the liberty of coming over."

Hearing his explanation, You Shuzhen didn’t think much of it. She paused, then happily exclaimed, "What a coincidence, isn’t it?"

Shen Yubai nodded, "Are you guys leaving now?"

You Shuzhen: "Yes."

She hesitated for a few seconds, "Would it be too much trouble?"

"Not at all," responded Shen Yubai, "It’s on the way, Aunt You don’t be so formal with me."

You Shuzhen opened her mouth, wanting to say more, but Xu Chuning spoke in a calm voice, "Mom, since he’s here, just let him help."

With Xu Chuning speaking up, You Shuzhen seemed to have no reason to refuse; she smiled helplessly and kindly said, "Then we’ll have to trouble Xiao Shen."

"It’s what I should do," Shen Yubai lowered his gaze, exchanged a glance with Xu Chuning, and took the luggage from her hand, "I’ve got this."

Xu Chuning wasn’t paying attention, and Shen Yubai carried the luggage downstairs.

Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen lived on the second floor, and moving luggage wasn’t all that laborious. But having someone’s help was always better than no help.

It’s just that there were many things Xu Chuning preferred to do by herself. She was afraid of developing the bad habit of depending on "others."

Going back to her hometown required bringing quite a lot of stuff. If it were just Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen, they might have needed to make one or two more trips to the second floor. After Shen Yubai offered to help, it only took one trip to bring everything down.

After locking the door, the three of them walked out of the alley.

Shen Yubai’s driver was waiting at the entrance of the alley; upon seeing them, he hurriedly got out of the car, "Young Master."

Shen Yubai nodded slightly, raised his hand to open the car door, turned his head, and said to You Shuzhen, "Aunt You, would you like to get in the car first?"

After putting the luggage in the trunk, You Shuzhen and Xu Chuning got into the car.

As soon as she got in the car, You Shuzhen felt a bit uncomfortable; she was somewhat restrained, "Ningning."

Xu Chuning glanced sideways, gently patted her back, and in a soothing voice said, "Mom, it’s okay."

Just then, Shen Yubai also turned to look back, "Aunt You, don’t be nervous."

He was polite, "It’s on the way, so you don’t need to feel troubled."

The driver on the side listened silently, not daring to interject.

After all, whatever their young master said was right.

You Shuzhen smiled, "Okay."

Not having to squeeze onto a bus with large and small bags, the forty-minute car ride went by faster than imagined.

In the summer, days break early, and before seven o’clock, there were already many cars, bicycles, and buses on the road. This was Xu Chuning’s first time in a car going to the train station; she sat inside, looking out at the scenery and watching those on the side of the road pedaling their bicycles with effort, feeling a tinge of special emotion.

Suddenly, the car stopped.

The driver announced, "We’ve arrived."

Xu Chuning, as if awakening from a dream, replied, "Okay, thank you."

She and You Shuzhen got out of the car, and both the driver and Shen Yubai disembarked as well, taking the luggage out of the trunk.

The train station was crowded, and the spot where they parked the car was a bit of a distance from the entrance.

Shen Yubai looked around and said to the driver, "Wait for me here."

The driver replied, "Yes, Young Master."

Shen Yubai went to take the luggage from Xu Chuning’s hand, and she was taken aback, "Are you coming with us?"

Shen Yubai: "I’m going to the arrival gate to pick someone up."

Xu Chuning: "..."

She paused, then muttered softly, "Are you really here to pick someone up?"

"Why else would I come to the train station so early?" Shen Yubai retorted, looking forthright.

Xu Chuning was at a loss for words and lowered her eyes, saying, "I don’t know."

You Shuzhen didn’t think too much into it, but Xu Chuning couldn’t help but do so. How could it be such a coincidence that the very morning she takes a train back to her hometown, Shen Yubai just happens to have a friend arriving in Jiang City by train? Frankly, Xu Chuning didn’t quite believe it.

However, since Shen Yubai had asked her that, she didn’t probe any further.

The three of them walked together to the entrance of the station, and Shen Yubai handed the luggage to Xu Chuning, then turned his head to talk to You Shuzhen, "Aunt You, please be careful on the way."

He only spoke sweetly in front of You Shuzhen, "I’m looking forward to you coming back to open the shop, I want to go there to eat."

Hearing his words, You Shuzhen couldn’t stop smiling, she quickly responded, "Alright, alright, thank you Xiao Shen, when Aunt You gets back I’ll make you something delicious."

Shen Yubai: "Sure."

He said a few words to You Shuzhen, then dropped his gaze to Xu Chuning, his eyes dark and profound, and within his pupils flickered a light that Xu Chuning couldn’t decipher, "Be safe, and contact me if anything comes up."

Xu Chuning: "I know."

She pursed her lips, "Thank you."

Shen Yubai: "Go on, let me know when you get home."

Xu Chuning nodded.

Walking into the station with You Shuzhen, after their luggage had gone through the security check, Xu Chuning glanced outside the glass window unintentionally and saw Shen Yubai still standing outside. Sensing this, Shen Yubai lifted his eyes to look over.

Their gazes met through the floor-to-ceiling glass.

After a few seconds, Xu Chuning’s phone in her pocket vibrated, she sneakily took it out and looked while You Shuzhen was not paying attention.

Shen Yubai: [You’re leaving.]

Xu Chuning’s long lashes quivered slightly, she pursed her lips: [Yes, take good care of Shen Sinian.]

Shen Yubai: [?]

Xu Chuning: [What’s the matter?]

Shen Yubai: [He’s not at home right now.]

How could he look after him.

Xu Chuning: [Didn’t you say before that you would visit him on set?]

Shen Yubai: [We’ll talk about that later, if he has anything he will tell me directly, he’s more honest than you.]

Xu Chuning: "..."

She was stunned and blinked slowly, wondering when she had ever been dishonest. Shen Yubai was the one doing a blame reversal.

The dishonest one was clearly him.

However, considering Shen Yubai had taken her and You Shuzhen to the train station, Xu Chuning chose not to quibble with him. She stayed silent for a while and then typed a reply with her fingertips: [Anyway, you should pay more attention to him.]

Shen Yubai: [I know.]

Their conversation ended there.

Putting away her phone, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen found a spot to rest, waiting for the train to start boarding.

The train station was really crowded in the morning, Xu Chuning looked around and was a bit overwhelmed by the various smells. Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long before her and You Shuzhen’s train arrived.

The train was crowded, and by the time Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen had stowed their luggage and sat down, they were both a bit worn out.

Noticing her fatigue, You Shuzhen gently patted her head, speaking softly, "Ningning, if you’re tired, rest on Mom’s shoulder for a bit."

Xu Chuning agreed, laid her head on her shoulder, and with her eyes closed, she called out, "Mom."

You Shuzhen softly stroked her arm, smiling as she asked, "What’s the matter?"

Xu Chuning: "Nothing much, just a bit happy."

You Shuzhen chuckled, "Happy about what?"

Xu Chuning opened her eyes, her large, sparkling round eyes shining, "Happy to see Grandma."

If she was lucky, perhaps she might even find "Li Xiaonan" and make You Shuzhen happy too.
