Returning to Parents' Seventeen
Chapter 64 Rowdy and Annoying

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Rowdy and Annoying

Shen Yubai’s words reassured Shen Sinian.

He had always been thinking, since fate arranged for him to return to the time when his parents were young, besides seizing more opportunities to bond and cultivate feelings with them, he must also do some other things.

Originally, he thought that revealing Xu Chuning’s identity early was something he could do, to tell her and let her return to the Xu Family earlier, so she wouldn’t have to suffer so much.

However, Shen Sinian discovered that Xu Chuning seemed to always know who her biological parents were, and her choice not to acknowledge them must be part of her own plans.

Of course, what her plans were, Shen Sinian didn’t ask, as he could feel that Xu Chuning did not want to talk about it.

Besides that, there was the matter with Grandmother. Grandmother was most concerned about Li Xiaonan, but Shen Sinian had limited memories of how the elders found Li Xiaonan, as neither Shen Yubai nor Xu Chuning had talked much about this matter with him before.

What he knew had almost all been told to him by Sang Menglan.

All things considered, the only thing Shen Sinian could truly help Xu Chuning with, the only thing he could change, might just be You Shuzhen’s fate.

He wanted to do everything within his power to help You Shuzhen live longer, much longer.

Yet, he didn’t want Xu Chuning to know. In the future, by the time she graduated from college, You Shuzhen had already passed away.

He feared she couldn’t accept this ending; he worried she would break down from now on.

Therefore, having Shen Yubai arrange many things to come seemed to Shen Sinian the most reasonable and least likely to arouse Xu Chuning’s suspicion.

Thinking this, Shen Sinian asked, "How do you plan to arrange everything?"

Shen Yubai glanced at him and asked seriously, "Aunt You died of an illness?"

Shen Sinian nodded, "You told me she died from an illness."

Shen Yubai: "Did I tell you what disease it was?"

Shen Sinian: "No."

At this point, he felt somewhat aggrieved, "Many things, you both don’t tell me."

In the future, Shen Yubai and Xu Chuning weren’t very keen on sharing with their son.

Shen Yubai: "..."

Looking at Shen Sinian’s pitiful expression, he had three seconds of self-reflection... and doubt, was the future him really so excessive to his own son?

Imagining it, Shen Yubai didn’t get a definite answer; he raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, his fingers slender and strong.

After a moment, Shen Yubai raised his eyes to Shen Sinian: "Go back and rest first, I will plan well about Aunt You’s matter."

Shen Sinian nodded and before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind Shen Yubai, "Don’t let Ningning find out."

Shen Yubai: "She won’t."

Only then did Shen Sinian plan to get up and leave. Just as he stood up, he remembered something, took out a small cat figurine from his pocket, and placed it in front of Shen Yubai, "Bought this for you."

Shen Yubai looked down at the cat figurine in front of him, only as thick as two fingers, and asked with a slightly raised eyebrow, "What’s this?"

"A gift." Shen Sinian stated confidently, "Ningning and I can’t afford a real cat, so we can only give you this."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He stared at the lazy-looking small cat figurine, picking it up to inspect, "How much is a real cat?"

"One hundred eighty yuan." Shen Sinian said, "Ningning doesn’t even use eighty yuan in a month."

Shen Yubai was speechless, his brow twitched and he asked, "What about this?"

Shen Sinian: "I think it was five yuan."

Shen Yubai: "..."

Very well, not even eight yuan.

Although he didn’t have high expectations for them giving him a gift, but... giving him a five yuan figurine, is it a bit too stingy?

"You don’t like it?" Noticing Shen Yubai’s silence, Shen Sinian asked, "This was carefully selected by Ningning and I. Ningning even said you would definitely like it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yubai looked up: "She said I would definitely like it?"

Shen Sinian: "Yes."

Although he didn’t know why Xu Chuning would think so.

Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes, picked up the little kitten ornament again, and suddenly said, "It’s quite cute."

Shen Sinian’s eyes lit up, quite proud: "Right? Ningning’s taste is never wrong."

He didn’t think Shen Yubai’s sudden change of attitude was too abrupt. Because since childhood, Shen Sinian had lived with Yubai’s mood brightening over small things Xu Chuning did or said.

The current him, compared to his future self, was already being quite restrained.

Shen Yubai responded affirmatively, lifting his eyelid, "Aren’t you going back to rest?"

Shen Sinian: "...I’ll leave now."

With the gift accepted, who needed a son anymore?

Having successfully delivered the gift and returning to his own house, Shen Sinian sent a message to Xu Chuning to inform her.

Xu Chuning was busy at the store, helping Aunt You for a while, and it was not until later that evening when she finished and checked her phone.

Logging into QQ, Xu Chuning received not only messages from Shen Sinian but also from Deng Xitong and Cheng Mingyin.

The former shockingly asked if Shen Yubai was in love or had gotten a cat; the latter asked about a math problem.

Xu Chuning first replied to Cheng Mingyin’s math question, explaining the steps, then hesitantly replied to Deng Xitong: [In a relationship?]

That seemed unlikely.

For some reason, the words ’not possible’ flashed through Xu Chuning’s mind first.

Deng Xitong: [Yes, didn’t you just check your phone? Didn’t you see the post he shared?]

Xu Chuning: [What post?]

She rarely checked QQ Space.

Deng Xitong: [Go check it now.]

Xu Chuning: [...Alright.]

She didn’t have many QQ friends; she didn’t need to directly go into Shen Yubai’s QQ Space. Scrolling down her own space, she soon saw his post.

Shen Yubai rarely posted, and precisely because of this, his post today drew a lot of attention from classmates.

Shen Yubai’s new post didn’t contain any text, just a clear photo of a milk-white, lying-down kitten ornament. The small ornament was bathed in bright sunlight on a bookshelf, making for a beautiful picture.

Seeing this photo, Xu Chuning was stunned; she hadn’t expected Shen Yubai would take a picture, let alone make a post about this item worth less than five yuan.

Of course, Xu Chuning wasn’t the only one taken aback—so were Shen Sinian, Ban Shu, and others.

Shen Sinian was the first to comment with a question mark below.

Ban Shu followed up: [Brother Yu? Was your account hacked?]

Besides Ban Shu, there were other nicknames Xu Chuning didn’t recognize, also commenting: [What’s going on, Brother Yu???]

[Brother Yu got a cat?]

[Could it be Brother Yu is in love! Isn’t this trinket something girls like?]

[For real? Who is Brother Yu dating, why didn’t Ban Shu mention it?]

[? Puberty?]

[Why so flirty, who gave this to you? Worth posting about?]
