Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 41 Not as Pretty as Ningning

Logically speaking, Shen Sinian should not express any opinions on the preferences of a classmate he just met. He and Yu Gaoyi are not familiar with each other yet, but after spending most of the day together, he roughly knows what kind of person Yu Gaoyi is. He is relatively straightforward and speaks his mind. He is a little silly, but loyal.

So Shen Sinian just said what he wanted to say.

Hearing Shen Sinian's question, Yu Gaoyi was stunned for a moment, feeling that his thoughts had been exposed. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It's not that I like her, I just think she has a good personality and is very beautiful."

In fact, Yu Gaoyi treated Xu Zhiyan as a goddess. He was very self-aware and knew that Xu Zhiyan would never like him. Although Yu Gaoyi's family conditions were not bad, they were still far behind those of the supermarket tycoon Xu's family.

Moreover, he knew that Xu Zhiyan had someone she liked.

"What's so beautiful about her?" Shen Sinian was confused.

Yu Gaoyi: “Isn’t it beautiful?”

He thinks Xu Zhiyan is very beautiful.

Shen Sinian: "...We have different aesthetic tastes."

Yu Gaoyi said "oh", and then, sensing his indifference, hesitantly asked, "Brother, do you... know her?"

Shen Sinian said in a very calm tone, "I don't know him."

Yu Gaoyi frowned, "Then why... you don't seem to like her very much."

"You are quite smart," Shen Sinian replied him.

Yu Gaoyi was stunned, and then he reacted, "Why?"

"She's not as pretty as Ningning," Shen Sinian threw the basketball in his hand and shot it neatly into the basket not far away, "and her personality is not as good as Ningning's either."

Yu Gaoyi: “…”

He and Xu Chuning were not familiar with each other yet, so he could not compare the personalities of Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan for the time being, but... he carefully recalled the appearances of Xu Chuning and Xu Zhiyan, and inexplicably felt that Shen Sinian was right.

Xu Zhiyan has a delicate appearance, with not deep eyebrows and eyes, and her facial features are relatively light, but Xu Chuning is also like that, but the lightness of Xu Chuning can easily give people a sense of coldness.

Thinking about it carefully, Yu Gaoyi even felt that Xu Chuning's temperament was more like that of a young lady than Xu Zhiyan.

Thinking of this, Yu Gaoyi was about to say something else, but Shen Sinian changed the subject, "Let's play ball."

He also would not say anything to ask Yu Gaoyi to give up his love for Xu Zhiyan as soon as possible. It is his freedom to like whoever he wants, but he also has the right to express his dislike for Xu Zhiyan.

Yu Gaoyi: “…Okay.”

He looked at Shen Sinian's calm profile and agreed distressedly, "Team up with them?"

He pointed at the students on the other side.

Shen Sinian: "Let's go."

On the other side, after leaving school, Xu Chu Ning went straight back to the shop.

It was not yet dinner time, so there were no customers in the restaurant. You Shuzhen was preparing the dishes for dinner, and when she saw Xu Chuning coming back, she called her, "Why are you back so early today?"

Xu Chu Ning hummed, "Mom, I'll go to the back to do my homework."

You Shuzhen was slightly startled, and before she could say anything, Xu Chuning went to the back. She turned her head to look over, and she pulled out a small folding table, put down her schoolbag, and took out her homework book to start working.

Xu Chuning looked normal, but as her mother, You Shuzhen was able to immediately notice that something was wrong with her.

She stared at Xu Chuning's profile for a moment, then stood up and poured her a glass of water. "Drink some water first. The weather is getting hotter. How was school today?"

"Thank you, Mom," Xu Chu Ning took it, "It's fine, just like before."

You Shuzhen nodded and asked casually, "Why didn't Si Nian come with you today?"

"He went to play ball with his classmates."

Hearing this, You Shuzhen smiled and asked, "Does he get along well with his classmates?"

"Well," Xu Chu Ning took a sip of water from the cup, "He has a likable personality."

You Shuzhen was silent for a few seconds, raised her hand and touched her head, "My daughter is also very popular."

Xu Chu Ning paused, raised his eyes and looked at her, "Mom, go and do your work, I'm fine."

You Shuzhen looked at her and said, "Okay, tell mom if you have anything."

Xu Chu Ning: “I know.”

You Shuzhen did not disturb her too much. Xu Chuning had an exam the next day, and she said she was doing homework, so she did not expose her.

The mother and daughter spent a very ordinary night in the shop.

There was an exam the next day. Before going to bed, You Shuzhen reminded Xu Chuning not to get up so early the next day. She could go to the store alone. She asked Xu Chuning to sleep until seven o'clock, have breakfast at the store, and then go to school.

Xu Chu Ning agreed readily, but in fact she got up at around five o'clock the next morning to help in the store.

However, Xu Chu Ning did not expect that Shen Yubai would come to the store with Shen Sinian for breakfast. In the past two weeks, Shen Yubai had not ordered takeout from the store once, let alone appeared at the door of the store.

"Xiao Shen, Si Nian," You Shuzhen was delighted to see the two of them, "Would you like to have breakfast here today?"

Shen Yubai nodded, "Aunt You, it's the same as before."

You Shuzhen smiled and said yes, then went to look at Shen Sinian: "Where's Sinian?"

Shen Sinian: "I am the same as him."

You Shuzhen agreed and glanced at Xu Chuning beside her, "Ningning, you should eat rice noodles like Xiao Shen and the others this morning. Mom will make it for you."

Xu Chuning was about to refuse, but Shen Sinian invited her, "Would you like to go to school together later?"

"..." Xu Chu Ning glanced at Shen Yubai who was silent beside him, and suppressed the rejection that was about to come out of his mouth, "Okay."

There are still many customers in the store.

Xu Chuning was busy for a while before You Shuzhen urged him to eat breakfast and go to school for the exam.

The tables in the store are all small tables for two people. If there are four people, two tables need to be put together.

When Xu Chuning finished her work at the door and entered the store, Shen Sinian had already brought her breakfast over and put it together with his and Shen Yubai's, and put the two tables together. She looked at it, paused slightly, and walked over.

"Ningning, eat one more egg." Shen Sinian shared the egg in the bowl with her.

Xu Chuning: "No."

She picked up the chopsticks and put it back, "You're still growing, eat more."

Shen Sinian: "You are growing too."

The two were arguing over an egg. Shen Yubai, who had been ignored for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the fried egg that the two were pushing back and forth. "How about I eat it?"

Xu Chuning: “…”

Shen Sinian: “…”

"Don't you dislike eggs?" Shen Sinian whispered.

Shen Yubai glanced at him and said, "I can sacrifice my little self."

Shen Sinian choked, hearing the displeasure in his words, and put the egg in Xu Chuning's bowl, "Ningning, eat it quickly, don't let him snatch it away."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He glanced at the two of them and called out, "Aunt You, let's add two fried eggs."

You Shuzhen responded, "Right away."

After a while, You Shuzhen brought two fried eggs.

Shen Yubai put down his chopsticks and raised his chin slightly to signal the two of them, "One each, finish."

It was ridiculous to tell others that the people in his Shen family couldn't even afford an egg? He needed his future wife and son to give way to him.

The two people who were already full: "…………"
