Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Join Me for a Bite

Mother and daughter chatted intimately for a while, You Shuzhen smiled and rubbed her head, "Alright, make sure to balance work and rest, mom is going to be busy now."

Xu Chuning nodded, "Call me if you need help."

You Shuzhen grinned, "I know."

After You Shuzhen left, Xu Chuning finished the test paper she was working on.

After finishing, she opened the calligraphy copybook that Shen Yubai sent and decided to start practicing her calligraphy from today. Whether it would work was not known yet, but she had to practice, she couldn’t keep having bad handwriting forever.

Once she made up her mind, Xu Chuning also scheduled time to practice calligraphy every day.

Only with proper planning could she keep it up.

As she was planning, her phone beside her vibrated. Xu Chuning picked it up and saw that Shen Sinian had replied to her message after class.

Shen Sinian: [Ningning, I am almost dead tired!!!]

Xu Chuning’s lips curved slightly, she quickly replied: [That tired? Hang in there.]

Shen Sinian: [Well... not that tired actually, I was exaggerating.]

Xu Chuning chuckled: [I know. Do you have any other classes today?]

Shen Sinian: [One more.]

Min Jian, in order to help Shen Sinian adjust quickly, had packed his daily training schedule full.

Shen Sinian felt miserable, but he also knew this was his own choice. Moreover, he actually liked challenging tasks.

Right now, complaining to Xu Chuning was also a way of seeking her comfort and coaxing.

Xu Chuning glanced at the time: [Will you continue after dinner?]

It was almost dinner time.

Shen Sinian: [Yes.]

Xu Chuning: [How was dinner? Was it provided by the company?]

Shen Sinian: [Min Jian arranged a nutritionist.]

Xu Chuning understood, Shen Sinian was slim among peers, but appeared heavier on camera, especially since he would be entering a movie crew soon and the big screen would make him look even heavier. To look good on screen, his diet couldn’t be as casual as before.

But considering he was still growing, Min Jian wouldn’t let him diet excessively.

So, arranging a nutritionist to plan a balanced diet was most appropriate.

Mother and son chatted for a while, the diner got busy, and Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian ended their conversation.

Over the next few days, Shen Sinian was training, and Xu Chuning stayed in the diner as usual, occasionally chatting with Shen Sinian and Deng Xitong on QQ.

For convenience, Deng Xitong had created a group for several of them, excluding Shen Yubai.

Deng Xitong sent him an invitation to join the group, but he never accepted it.

At first, everyone reported their summer homework progress daily in the group. Gradually, they started sharing what they ate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and during this time, there were also photos sent back by Cheng Mingyin who was traveling.

In short, the group was lively.

Today, Xu Chuning chatted with Deng Xitong and Cheng Mingyin in the group for a while, preparing to exit when she inadvertently scrolled down and saw the avatar that had been inactive for several days.

Shen Yubai hadn’t contacted her recently, and she wouldn’t reach out to him without a reason.

Deng Xitong’s invitation to join the group remained unaccepted, and although Ban Shu was in the group, he said he hadn’t been in touch with Shen Yubai these past few days and didn’t know what he was busy with.

"Ningning," as Xu Chuning was daydreaming, You Shuzhen called her, "Come help mom for a moment."

Xu Chuning snapped back to reality, "Alright, I’m coming right now."

She put away her phone and hurried over to assist You Shuzhen.

Busy until eight in the evening, the mother and daughter were preparing to close the diner and go home to rest.

As they just closed the diner, Xu Chuning noticed a car stopping by the roadside. Following that, she saw a person in a T-shirt and black pants bending out from the backseat, standing tall, displaying an indescribable handsomeness.

"Ningning," You Shuzhen was about to call her, but then noticed her gaze, looked up and hesitated, "Is that Xiao Shen?"

As they were talking, Shen Yubai approached them, "Aunt You."

He glanced at the closed diner door and said lightly, "Heading home?"

You Shuzhen smiled and responded, glanced at the two people: "You’re here to find Ningning, right? You guys chat."

After saying that, she turned to Xu Chuning and said, "Ningning, Mom will go back first, you come back later."

Xu Chuning nodded slightly: "Be careful."

The place where they live is very close to the small store, a ten-minute walk away.

You Shuzhen: "I know."

Watching You Shuzhen walk away, Xu Chuning then raised her eyes to look at the person who hadn’t appeared for several days, "What are you doing looking for me so late?"

Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes, paused, and said: "I just came back from Beicheng."

He went to Beicheng a few days ago.

Xu Chuning was startled, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "Oh."

She wasn’t curious.

The two silently faced each other for a moment, Shen Yubai raised his eyebrows, and spoke softly, "Nothing much, I brought you something."

Xu Chuning was surprised, "What?"

It couldn’t be calligraphy and exam papers again, could it?

Shen Yubai narrowed his eyes: "Wait for me a moment."

Xu Chuning watched him turn and walk to the car, and took a bag from inside.

"What is this?" she asked.

Shen Yubai: "Something to eat."

Xu Chuning blinked: "Something to eat?"

Shen Yubai hummed affirmatively, succinctly: "Shen Sinian said you like to eat it."

"?"

Xu Chuning looked at the few printed characters on the bag, slightly surprised. But soon, she reacted, "The future me likes it?"

The current her hadn’t even heard of the name on the bag, how could she possibly like it.

Shen Yubai nodded.

Receiving Shen Yubai’s affirmative answer, Xu Chuning felt a warmth in her heart, suddenly not knowing what to say.

She opened her mouth, softly said: "... How am I worthy."

To have a son like Shen Sinian who remembers her likes and constantly thinks about her.

Shen Yubai didn’t hear her murmur clearly, his eyebrows raised, "What did you say?"

Xu Chuning: "..."

She shook her head: "Nothing, when did he tell you?"

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes, his dark and profound gaze landed on her face, the emotions in his eyes complex, making Xu Chuning unable to read.

Xu Chuning raised her eyes to meet his, just about to ask why he was looking at her like that, Shen Yubai dropped two words: "Forgot."

"..."

Hearing that, Xu Chuning was slightly lost for words and uttered, "Thank you."

She took it over, then remembered to ask: "Did you just get off the plane?"

Shen Yubai hummed.

Just off the plane and already delivering something to her, realizing this, Xu Chuning felt slightly unnerved and pursed her lips, "Is that your family’s driver over there?"

She asked casually.

Shen Yubai raised an eyebrow: "Yes, why?"

"Nothing." Xu Chuning murmured, "Just asking."

Quiet for a moment, as Shen Yubai suggested whether or not to take her home, Xu Chuning suddenly asked: "Have you had dinner yet?"

Shen Yubai was taken aback, then smiled, "No."

He paused, then took the initiative to ask: "Join me for something?"
