Take a bath

"Baby, why didn't you tell me that you were coming back early so I could pick you up."

In the old house, Su Luoyue and Shen Mingzhou came back and saw Shen Chu, and they were naturally very surprised.

One by one, they hugged Chen Chu and rubbed him hard.

Shen Chu was so upset that he was screaming, he was already this big...

"No matter how old you are, you are still your mother's baby."

Su Luoyue rubbed Shen Chu’s head: “You won’t leave even if you come back early, right?”

"No, Mom."

Shen Chu held Su Luoyue’s arm.

After so many years, Su Luoyue still looks much younger than her actual age. Although time has inevitably left traces of time on her face, it has only made her more mature.

Nowadays, whether it is Su Luoyue, Chen Mingzhou, or the brothers in the family, they are all becoming more and more successful in their respective careers.

Shen Yi followed Su Luoyue's footsteps and entered the entertainment industry, and is now quite famous.

Shen Shuo joined Shen Corporation and started to help Shen Mingzhou. Shen Songguo retired completely a few years ago. Shen Sui has been doing what he likes all the time, just like in his previous life. He had already made a name for himself in the field of intelligent AI before graduating from university.

They are all on the same life path as before.

They are still as excellent as before, even to the point where people look up to them.

Including Xie Shiming, they all looked the same as in Shen Chu’s memory.

But this time, Chen Chu just felt happy, and didn't have any other thoughts -

He had long since learned to reconcile with himself, and after so many years, he had already found the path he wanted to take.

This time, not only Xiang Xinghe and Jian Xing wanted to return to China, but the main reason was because of his needs.

——Following his uncle all these years, Shen Chu has been to many places and learned a lot from his uncle.

He likes to explore the unknown, and he also likes to track, photograph and record many well-known and unfamiliar people, objects and events, etc. The feeling of exploring mysteries and the process of pursuing nature and truth are extremely satisfying.

But Shen Chu wanted to try his abilities.

He wanted to see how far he could go on his own, rather than relying on Xiang Xinghe's background and abilities.

What's more, his uncle went abroad for a compelling reason.

Now, after so many years, Brother Jian Xing has long since left the Jian family - it took a long time to go around in circles at the beginning, and after they left the country, the Jian family's affairs did not settle down.

Anyway, the final result was that the Jian family completely gave up on their son Jian Xing.

In fact, there had been dissatisfaction for a long time. After all, Jian Xing had insisted on entering the entertainment industry, and that incident was just a fuse.

——The fuse that gave the Jian family a reason to take their illegitimate child back.

After the illegitimate child of the Jian family was taken back, Jian Xing's mother blamed everything on him, and then used some tricks to get pregnant with a second child. At a not-so-young age, she wanted to have another one...

It was not until Jian Xing's younger brother was born and he confirmed that his mother was fine that Jian Xing dared to leave for the country.

After all, even if Jian Xing didn't leave, there would be no place for him in the Jian family...

It can be said that Jian Xing risked everything to go abroad to find Xiang Xinghe.

He was even willing to put his career in China aside for the time being.

Fortunately, they are still waiting for each other.

That’s why Chen Chu was kicked back home early today…

"Then when your uncle and his family return home, you can live here too, baby."

Su Luoyue rubbed Chen Chu's face, sighing that the touch was still as good as when he was a child, and continued to speak: "Jian Xing will come back with him by then, so you can't continue to be a little light bulb and disturb them more."

Shen Chu: “…”

It's reasonable to suspect that he got some inside information!

"Anyway, you can't leave my side until you and Mingming graduate from college."

"You've been with your uncle for so many years, it's time for you to spend some time with your mother."

As Su Luoyue spoke, her eyes turned red.

Shen Chu was so scared that he quickly hugged Su Luoyue's shoulders to comfort her——

"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you!"

"My uncle also said that since I chose to come back to take the college entrance examination, he would let me live back here, saying it would be convenient."

The main reason is that they are still busy and don’t know when they can return to China completely.

"That's good."

Su Luoyue blinked for a second, and the red eyes disappeared immediately.

Shen Chu: “…”

Shen Mingzhou beside him coughed lightly and whispered, “Don’t you see how many awards your mother has won over the years? Do you believe her?”

OK......

"By the way, where are the big brothers?"

Logically speaking, it wasn't too early for Shen Chu and Xie Shiming to come back from school, but except for Su Luoyue and Shen Mingzhou, everyone else hadn't come back yet - Grandpa knew about it, because when he came back, he asked someone and was told that he had gone out with a group of old friends.

I don’t know if it’s because I get older, but I want to go out more.

As far as Shen Chu knew, Shen Songguo often went out for a walk over the years.

But the old man is still in good health, and he is surrounded not only by old friends but also bodyguards, so it is a good thing for him to go around and have a look.

When your body and mind are happy, everything will be fine.

But Shen Chu didn't ask about Shen Shuo and the others, and Xie Shiming didn't say anything either.

He thought they wouldn't come back later, but he still hadn't seen them.

"You're still talking."

Su Luoyue tapped Shen Chu's forehead: "Didn't you say before that you could only return to China in two months? Xiaoyi was with a crew at the time, and when he heard about this, he asked the director to schedule his scenes forward. Now he doesn't even have time to come back."

"ah?"

Shen Mingzhou also looked over: "Your eldest brother went on a business trip. It was originally scheduled for next month, but he left early."

"Xiao Sui didn't plan anything in advance, but he has been following up on a project at school these two days and usually doesn't have much time to come back."

"And your grandfather, who was going out with Mr. Zhao and the others, was actually scheduled for next month, but it was moved forward as well."

Shen Mingzhou clicked his tongue twice, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Chu was self-evident.

Shen Chu: “…”

I feel inexplicably guilty.

He turned around and grabbed Xie Shiming by the collar and shook him——

"Why didn't you tell me all this?"

Xie Shiming: "I forgot to say it."

"Ah, what are you thinking about?" Shen Chu was puzzled.

Xie Shiming paused and glanced at Shen Chu subconsciously.

Shen Chu: “?”

"Why are you looking at me?"

"......nothing."

"......"

Weird, huh.

"How about I say it in the family group right now?"

Su Luoyue said as she was about to take out her cell phone——

"Wait, Mom."

Shen Chu thought for a moment and said, “Otherwise, let’s not do it for now.”

"My brother and the others are busy with other things. If I tell them now that I'm returning home early, it would be bad if it affects them."

Moreover, the time has been compressed to this extent, and if Shen Chu is distracted by him again, he will really feel bad.

What's more, there is not much need for it. After all, Shen Shuo's business trip will only take about a week and then he will be back. He can also visit Shen Yi and go to the university to find Shen Sui and Shen Songguo. Calculating the time, he will be back in about two or three days.

"When I see them, I can give them a surprise."

Shen Chu thought about it, and suddenly looked at Xie Shiming: "By the way, after school, didn't Qi Yuansi say that before the sports meeting between Nanhong and Yubei and the basketball game officially started, there would be a friendly match?"

Xie Shiming nodded: "Yes, there is a friendly match, and it will be held in two days at the Hongda Stadium."

Su Luoyue: "Isn't that the university where your third brother is studying? Why did you hold the basketball game there?"

"Wife, have you forgotten? Nanhong was originally an institution that founded a university, and later gradually developed several departments from kindergarten to high school. However, the nature of the university entrance examination is different from the previous ones, so I deliberately avoided too much contact."

After Shen Mingzhou finished speaking, he looked at Xie Shiming again: "But this time, not only the friendly match will be held at Hongda Stadium, but the sports meet of the two schools and the real basketball game will also be held at Hongda, right?"

Xie Shiming hummed, and then listened to Shen Mingzhou continue -

"That's right. I heard that Nanhong seems to be discussing the merger with Yubei."

"The reason why the sports meeting was held at the Hongda Sports Stadium this time should be because Nanhong was behind it. They wanted to make the event bigger. After all, the Hongda Sports Stadium has the largest area and can accommodate more people."

"Maybe they want two high school kids to have more friendly interactions."

"After all, we'll be brothers in high school from now on."

Shen Chu hummed.

He thought whether they could have a friendly exchange or not, he didn’t know, but the friendly match was scheduled to be held at the Hongda Stadium, so wouldn’t that mean he could go find Shen Sui?

Ha ha!

Then scare his third brother!

After reminiscing with Su Luoyue and Shen Mingzhou, Shen Chu wanted to go back to his room to rest.

After all, he got off the plane early in the morning and rushed to school. He had a whole day of classes at school. Even a little iron man should relax.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

As soon as he entered the room, Shen Chu yawned.

He was really sleepy and wanted to go to bed early.

"Would you like to take a bath? You'll sleep more comfortably."

Xie Shiming said, "Would you please sit down for a while? I'll go get you some water."

"Okay, I'm going to take a bath."

Shen Chu waved towards Xie Shiming: "Thank you for your hard work, brother~~"

As soon as Xie Shiming entered the bathroom, he prepared to find himself a pair of pajamas first.

When he came back from school before, Xie Shiming helped him carry his luggage into the room. Shen Chu was not too unfamiliar with Xie Shiming's room, not only because he lived there when he was a child, but also because sometimes when he video chatted with Xie Shiming, it was basically in this room.

And this room hasn't changed at all—

It was even the same as he remembered it.

It seems that Xie Shiming has maintained himself well over the years.

As Chen Chu thought about it, he kicked off his socks and stepped on the carpet with his white and tender feet. His toes subconsciously scratched the fluff on the carpet, which felt very comfortable, so he was not in a hurry to put on his slippers.

Then I subconsciously wanted to take off my clothes——

But when he lifted the hem of his clothes, he remembered that he was not in his room, nor was he alone...

His belly was exposed and he subconsciously raised his head and met Xie Shiming's gaze.

I didn't know when the other person stood at the bathroom door.
