Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Chapter 110 Itinerary Report

The moment he saw it clearly, Xu Chu Ning's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She was stunned for a few seconds, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes and replied to him: [No need.]

After sending the message, Shen Yubai replied immediately: [What time will you be back? ]

Xu Chu Ning thought for a moment: [I don’t know yet.]

Shen Yubai: [Say this before you leave.]

Xu Chuning hesitated for a moment and replied: [Yes.]

The conversation between the two ended here. After eating fried chicken, the three decided to go shopping. They were not keen on shopping in shopping malls. There was a large pedestrian street nearby, as well as a night market. The night market had a wide variety of things that could fully meet their current needs.

There were many people at the night market, and Deng Xitong was very interested and pulled the two of them to look here and there.

"It's so comfortable." The night market is by the river. When the evening breeze blows over, it feels refreshing, which makes Cheng Mingyin sigh.

Xu Chu Ning agreed, "Yes, it's not bad."

Deng Xitong: "It seems we should go out more often at night."

Hearing this, Cheng Mingyin teased her, "Have you finished your summer homework?"

Deng Xitong: "...Don't say such a depressing thing."

Xu Chuning couldn't help laughing and said unexpectedly, "I've finished writing."

The two people next to him: "..."

"You traitor." Deng Xitong said.

Cheng Mingyin nodded. "Aren't you working too fast? It's only been half a month since the holiday and you've already finished your summer homework."

Xu Chu Ning chuckled and said softly, "I'm going back to my hometown next month. I don't want to do my homework when I'm there."

Sometimes, Xu Chuning also felt tired of studying and doing homework. This feeling was especially obvious when he was in Pingning Town.

Speaking of going back home, Deng Xitong quickly asked: "When are you going back? How long will it take? Can we go visit you?"

Xu Chu Ning: "I will be back for a longer time this time."

She thought for a moment and looked at the two of them, "If you really want to come and play, why don't you come after I get back?"

There was only grandma at home, and she and You Shuzhen didn't want to trouble her to clean up, as they were afraid that she would be tired. So before returning home every time, they would not inform grandma in advance, but would suddenly appear at the door to give her a surprise.

Cheng Mingyin's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sure, but wouldn't that be too much of a bother?"

"No." Xu Chu Ning said slowly: "It's just that the countryside is not as convenient as the city. If Xitong wants to eat fried chicken, she may have to eat the one fried by my mother."

Deng Xitong: "What does it matter? Your mother's cooking skills are better than those in many restaurants outside. I am very happy to eat what she cooks."

Cheng Mingyin agreed: "I agree with this point, I often feel that Aunt You's cooking skills are comparable to those of a Michelin three-star chef."

Xu Chu Ning burst out laughing, "Are you two exaggerating a bit?"

"Really not," Cheng Mingyin said, "I went to Haicheng for a trip this time. My parents and I had a bowl of noodles at a restaurant by the sea. Do you know how much it cost?"

Deng Xitong: "How much?"

"Sixty-eight!" Cheng Mingyin held her forehead with her hand. "Not only is it expensive, but it's also not delicious. The taste is terrible."

Xu Chu Ning was surprised, "So expensive?"

Cheng Mingyin: "Yeah, so I'm really not complimenting your mother. I'm just craving the noodles she makes when I'm outside."

At this point, she bumped into Deng Xitong's arm and asked, "Will you get up early tomorrow and go to the shop to eat noodles?"

Deng Xitong blinked, "Is ten o'clock considered early?"

Cheng Mingyin: "I think so."

She is actually one of those who gets up at ten o'clock.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Chu Ning smiled and said, "There is no need to set a time. You can come at any time. My mother and I welcome you."

Cheng Mingyin and Deng Xitong laughed and said, "Okay, it's settled then. We'll go to the shop to eat noodles tomorrow."

Xu Chuning: "Okay."

The three of them strolled around the night market, and considering that Xu Chuning had to get up early, they strolled until ten o'clock and then went home.

Sitting on the bus, Xu Chuning remembered what she had promised Shen Yubai. She quickly took out her phone and sent him a message: [I'm going home.]

Shen Yubai: [Are you in the car?]

Xu Chuning: [Yes, with them.]

The three of them don't live in the same place, but there is a bus that takes them both through the same route.

Shen Yubai: [Let me know when you get home.]

As if he was worried that Xu Chuning might misunderstand him, he added: [Shen Sinian would be worried.]

Xu Chu Ning blinked slightly: [Got it.]

When Xu Chuning put away his phone, he happened to meet Deng Xitong's gaze. At that moment, Xu Chuning couldn't help but feel a little guilty, "What did I just do--"

Deng Xitong: "Who are you chatting with?"

Cheng Mingyin also turned her head and looked over.

In front of his two good friends, Xu Chu Ning thought for a moment and said without hiding anything, "Shen Yubai."

Deng Xitong raised her eyebrows, "I knew it."

Cheng Mingyin: "What are you talking about?"

"I didn't say anything." Xu Chuning said frankly, "I told him I was going home."

Deng Xitong's eyes widened. "You took the initiative to send him a message?"

Xu Chuning nodded.

Deng Xitong: "Why didn't Shen Yubai take the initiative?"

She was a little unhappy.

Xu Chuning: “…”

Cheng Mingyin: "It doesn't matter who takes the initiative. What does Shen Yubai say?"

"...It's not what you think." Xu Chu Ning knew that the two had misunderstood, and explained, "We are just classmates."

At least for now.

Hearing this, Deng Xitong and Cheng Mingyin looked at each other and exchanged glances, "Really?"

Deng Xitong actually didn’t quite believe it.

Xu Chuning: "Of course."

Cheng Mingyin: "Okay. But only for now."

She knew Xu Chuning well enough to know that she would not think about anything other than studying at the moment.

Xu Chuning: “…”

Deng Xitong agreed, saying with emotion, "This time next year, it may not be the same."

Xu Chu Ning moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but finally gave up.

She couldn't argue with the two of them.

Besides, she was not so sure about the future. Before Shen Sinian appeared, she had never thought that she would fall in love with Shen Yubai in the future, get married and have children.

This factor forced Xu Chuning to stop bragging and swear that he and Shen Yubai would have a clean classmate relationship in the future.

The three of them got off the bus and went home one after another.

Xu Chu Ning got out of the car and walked into the alley. Her cell phone vibrated again. She took it out and saw that it was still a message from Shen Yubai.

He sent her two concise words, asking her: [Are you there? ]

Xu Chuning: […Just got off the car.]

How did he calculate so accurately?

Shen Yubai: [Okay, go to bed early.]

Xu Chuning lowered his head: [Yeah, you too. Has Shen Sinian returned home? ]

At this point, Shen Sinian should have finished his training.

Shen Yubai: [I don’t know.]

Xu Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked: [You are still outside? ]

Shen Yubai: [Yes.]

Xu Chuning: [Oh.]

After sending this message, she put away her phone and went upstairs. When Xu Chuning got home, You Shuzhen had already washed up.

Hearing the noise, she turned to look at Xu Chuning, "You're back."

Xu Chuning said slowly: "Mom, go to bed early. I'm going to take a shower now."

You Shuzhen smiled to herself, "Okay, don't worry, just wash yours."

Xu Chuning responded.

When Xu Chuning came out of the shower, You Shuzhen had already fallen asleep.

She turned off the lights in the living room and tiptoed into the room. The lights in the room were on, so Xu Chuning turned them off again before climbing into bed and getting ready to go to sleep.

Before going to bed, her cell phone, which was charging on the desk, dinged.

Xu Chu Ning clicked on it and saw a message from Shen Yubai. He sent her a photo of the yard and told her: [I’m home.]

He seemed to be reporting his itinerary to Xu Chuning.
