Chapter 121 Me?

"Did the defense go well?"

Zhuang Zheng held two bottles of water and stood at the bottom of the teaching building, looking forward to it like an ordinary parent.

Shu Ming hummed twice and didn't give a direct answer.

He's a little cocky and a little bit proud, and it's obvious that he's very dissatisfied with his elder brother's lack of trust in him.

Then, the boy started to talk about something else: "Have you and Auntie had lunch?"

Zhuang Yan arrived in the capital yesterday afternoon, and Liang Ruowen personally brought people to pick her up.

The heavy farm work in her early years had worn out her waist. Even if she spent several days traveling slowly, the long journey was still a torture for her.

This is also one of the reasons why Shu Ming doesn't keep his aunt around.

He flies around all over the place every day. When his business activities are busy, it is normal for him to fly to three countries in two days. Young people may not be able to handle it, let alone Zhuang Yan who is already in her fifties?

But my child’s graduation ceremony is always coming!

This is what Zhuang Yan has always insisted on.

Shu Ming had secretly thanked his lucky stars countless times that he still had some money, which at least allowed him to save his aunt some time and effort on the road.

"I've eaten. Okay, you haven't eaten yourself, why are you worrying about us? We are two adults, we won't starve ourselves..." Zhuang Zheng was helpless, and naturally took the documents and computer in his brother's hands into his own hands, and then he felt relieved.

Liang Ruowen hung up the work phone and when he finally arrived, he saw the two brothers being so affectionate.

He knew very well that he was not liked by Zhuang Zheng, so he simply did not go up to him to offend him. Instead, he stood on the other side of Shu Ming and said nothing.

Zhuang Zhengze glanced over, pretending not to see this "sister-in-law", and simply nudged Shu Ming: "Go ahead, go eat, I'll help you take your things back."

Liang Ruowen took Shu Ming's thin coat and nodded to his brother-in-law, acting as a signal to the other party to rest assured.

Shu Ming simply let his mind go blank, letting Liang Ruwen lead him step by step. Before the two parties had completely separated, they heard a voice from behind them approaching: "Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu... Shu Ming!"

A breathless figure rushed out: "Xiao Shu, your USB drive fell in the classroom!"

Shu Ming turned around, a little surprised.

It’s Xue Yingcheng.

The other person was panting heavily, his hair wet with sweat, and it was obvious that he had come in a hurry, not caring about his usual carefully maintained image.

Looks so familiar.

This scene seemed like a reversal of time and space. In the September report of that year, it was Shu Ming who stood in the new student registration area with his luggage in a very embarrassed manner, while it was Xue Yingcheng who was calm and composed and had someone to take care of him.

Young Master Xue even mocked him arrogantly.

It happened a long time ago.

Shu Ming didn't feel relieved. It would be a lie to say he didn't hold grudges, but there weren't many things worth getting angry about, and this little thing was definitely not worth it.

He was only surprised that Xue Yingcheng could swallow his pride.

After all, in Shu Ming's impression, it's just a USB flash drive, which theoretically cannot compare to the dignity of Young Master Xue.

This is not Xue Yingcheng's style.

But who knows, maybe after three years of separation, everyone has grown up.

He was about to take the USB drive back from Xue Yingcheng, but he didn't expect that he couldn't pull it out in a moment. The other party held the USB drive with great strength, and his fingertips turned white.

Why are you holding it so tightly?

Is there anything special about this USB flash drive? Why do you like it so much? Why don’t you just give it to him?

Shu Ming raised his eyebrows and saw that Xue Yingcheng seemed to be absent-minded, with his eyes drifting to his shoulder.

Follow his gaze.

A hand was resting on his shoulder.

This was Liang Ruowen's habitual action. He was always afraid that people and cars on the street would hurt Shu Ming, so when there were crowds of people, he would always put one hand on his shoulder.

In this way, even if they are photographed by the media, it can be explained as brotherhood.

What's wrong?

When Liang Ruowen saw that he was being stared at, he actually broke his usual cautious attitude and tightened his arms even more, which was an extremely possessive move.

Shu Ming suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

And the next second, this intuition was immediately verified.

Xue Yingcheng seemed to be stimulated by this imperceptible tightening. His face was full of disbelief, and his voice was shaking: "Uncle!"

Then he looked at the arm he had placed on Shu Ming's shoulder: "You...you..."

Xue Yingcheng's face flushed even redder. Part of it was probably because he had just run, and the other part was because he didn't know what state of mind he was in.

In short, he stammered "you guys" for a long time before he struggled to utter the next sentence.

"You...what's your relationship?"

Liang Ruowen was silent.

The breeze was not dry, and the sunlight at two or three in the afternoon shone down. The three of them stood under the shade of a tree, with a crowd of passing students beside them.

He said—

"Don't meddle in adults' affairs."

He really is his uncle!

Shu Ming's ears were completely erect!

It seemed that the boy was not listening to anything related to him. His eyes were burning. He turned around and glanced at Liang Ruowen, with "I want gossip" written all over his face.

Liang Ruwen hadn't considered how Shu Ming would react. He'd thought of countless possibilities, but he hadn't imagined that he would be the one to jump out and eat melons.

He looked down at his boyfriend.

Shu Ming also looked back at him, his eyes clear, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity.

Okay.

…

So a good meal turned into a threesome.

Shu Ming was waiting for explosive news at first, but he didn't expect that neither of them spoke, and Liang Ruowen just focused on picking food for him.

He had no choice but to pick up the bowl and concentrate on eating.

Xue Yingcheng found the food tasteless and he couldn't eat a single bite.

When had he ever seen this side of Shu Ming?

Very trusting and relaxed.

Even when Liang Ruowen peeled shrimps and picked up some vegetables for him, he didn't even raise his eyes, but just chewed them seriously like a child.

Not like before.

They were freshmen at that time, and even if he simply handed Shu Ming a cup of coffee, Shu Ming would immediately stop everything he was doing.

At that time, Shu Ming was extremely vigilant, and the slightest movement would set him off guard. Even though Shu Ming didn't say it, and tried not to show it, Xue Yingcheng still felt dissatisfied with it.

Xue Yingcheng initially didn't know the root cause of this dissatisfaction and unfounded irritability, but it eventually manifested itself in his yelling and nitpicking.

To be honest, he knew that Leung Yu-man and Shu Ming were good friends. After all, he watched the entire "Choice 1" that year.

But he always thought that they were just friends.

But when we actually met today, I found that it was different.

It's really different.

The same adoring gaze, and the intimacy that had already surpassed the boundaries of normal friendship...

Xue Yingcheng felt bitter on the tip of his tongue, and finally all his words turned into one sentence: "Me, my mother, and my grandma, do you know?"

Xue Yingcheng's mother, Liang Ruwen's sister, Ms. Liang Minyi.

"She knows."

He didn't know why he asked this question.

But when he got the affirmative answer from his always strict uncle, he was immediately frustrated.

After taking two deep looks at the person opposite him, Xue Yingcheng sat there for a while, said nothing, and walked out silently.

The moment the box door closed, Shu Ming finally put down his bowl and asked, "He's not eating anymore?"

Ugh, what a waste of food!

Fortunately, my aunt didn’t see it.

Why is this the reaction?

Liang Ruwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but still worried about affecting Shu Ming's mood, so he immediately confessed: "Xiao Shu, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

He spoke faster:

"Xue Yingcheng is indeed my nephew, but we are not close, and I didn't think of telling you."

This is the truth, Liang Ruowen really forgot.

Shu Ming hummed twice and lowered his head to eat again.

The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.

Liang Ruwen couldn't tell for a moment whether he was angry or not. Although his intuition told him that Shu Ming didn't care, he was still nervous and had to pour water for him and add more dishes for him, like a very virtuous young wife.

Until Shu Ming swallowed the last bite of rice: "He laughed at me."

"Um?"

Shu Ming propped up his chin and didn't look at him: "He laughed at me for not knowing brand-name shoes and called me a country bumpkin."

Who else could he be referring to?

It must be Xue Yingcheng who just left!

Liang Ruwen began to frown: "Beat him."

Shu Ming began to sigh deliberately: "He also laughed at my poor Mandarin and said I had never seen the world."

Liang Ruwen's voice sank: "I'll go back and deal with him. I'll punish him according to the family rules."

"Okay, fine then."

Shu Ming smiled quietly, with a bit of the cunning of a child who had successfully told a story.

Even though Liang Ruowen knew that Shu Ming was just trying to give him a way out, and that if he really still cared about these things, he would never speak in such a nonchalant tone, he still felt a pang of sadness when he heard these words.

Who wouldn't care if they were ridiculed like this? Especially Shu Ming, who had just arrived in the capital.

Seventeen years old is when young people have the strongest sense of dignity.

No one will feel good about it!

Who is Liang Ruwen? This guy always does what he says!

Shu Ming had never expected that he would get this answer just by saying it casually.

But if Liang Ruowen said he would beat him, then he would definitely beat him.

Ha, he is in his twenties and still has to be beaten by his parents. I wonder if Young Master Xue will feel embarrassed.

Shu Ming swore that he tried really hard not to gloat over other people's misfortunes, but he couldn't help feeling a little happy.

Never mind, he was just such a small-time person who got carried away by his success.

Oh, there’s nothing we can do about it!

By the way, shouldn’t this person be called…Aunt?

No, he is not a girl, so you can call him...uncle?

**

Although Shu Ming was not interested in the specific details.

On the way back in the car, Liang Ruowen explained everything to Shu Ming word by word in a very serious manner.

"I have a sister who is much older than me. You know, Xue Yingcheng is her son.

It’s just that Xue Yingcheng wasn’t raised by her since he was a child. Instead, he was raised by the elders of the Xue family. After we took over, we discovered that the child had been raised in a wrong way.”

To put it bluntly, it's not that biased. Xue Yingcheng is not a bad person by nature.

But they could not accept this kind of arrogance and domineering attitude.

"No wonder, his style of doing things is really different from yours."

Shu Ming closed his eyes and let his boyfriend pinch the back of his neck, then stroke it down little by little with his fingertips as if he was touching a furry little animal.

The boy was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

Liang Ruowen observed the tiny hairs on his face, and no matter how many times he looked at them carefully, he still thought they were so cute.

He could barely suppress the corners of his mouth as he patiently replied, "Yes, we originally wanted to take him home and raise him ourselves, but within two years, my sister got divorced. He's the only child of this generation in the Xue family, so he's completely belonged to the Xue family."

"No wonder. The only one must be very favored. It's not surprising that he has such a personality."

Shu Ming analyzed it seriously, and Liang Ruwen felt sour in her heart. She really wanted to say: "Xiao Shu, you are younger than him." What excuses are there for him?

But Liang Ruwen didn't say this out loud. He just said slowly: "Although Xue Yingcheng is spoiled, he is still my sister's child after all, so we occasionally keep in touch. Later, my sister said that he was in love and asked me to help choose a partner for my nephew."

"Partner? What partner?" Shu Ming was really about to fall asleep, and his voice was vague, as if he was acting coquettishly.

Half a minute later, he suddenly came to his senses and sat up straight. "Huh? It can't be me!"
