Chapter 417 Extra - Shen Haiping [18]
Shen Haiping looked up at the sky, but there were no stars at night.
He was confused for a moment, and didn't know how to deal with it next.
This was the first time in all these years that he felt... confused.
As a result, he didn't sleep much that night.
Early the next morning, Shen Chiyue, who had been busy all day and all night, finally showed up.
He leaned on the sofa after entering the house, not wanting to move.
Shen Haiping cooked a bowl of noodles and put it on the tea table.
Shen Chiyue sat up and stared at Shen Haiping's face.
"Second brother, are you heartbroken?"
Shen Haiping almost threw the bowl away, "You're not in love, how can you be heartbroken?"
Shen Chiyue stood up and walked around Shen Haiping.
"Based on my experience and observation, second brother, look at you, your eyes are bloodshot and your lower eyelids are blue, which is obviously a manifestation of insomnia. Second brother, you have never suffered from insomnia. For so many years, you have been able to do everything with ease, but you have never been in love."
"Second brother, you should know that love makes people's intelligence lower. Even with an IQ as high as yours, it is easy to become love-brained. So, to sum up, do you have a woman you like?"
Shen Haiping laughed, "Chi Yue, you are really... It's hard for you to say so much."
Shen Chiyue raised the corner of his mouth, "It's different, you are a family member, my brother. I'm too lazy to say anything to outsiders."
"I'm not lazy, it's called balancing the pros and cons. Why waste your brain on unimportant people and things."
Shen Haiping went into the kitchen and brought another bowl of noodles, and sat on the sofa.
He wondered, is he in love?
After eating noodles, Shen Chiyue went into the room to catch up on his sleep.
Shen Haiping returned to the room and began to send messages to Yan Xi.
[Are you awake? It's cloudy today and the temperature is just right. Do you want to go out hiking? ]
Yan Xi had just woken up. After falling asleep after drinking, she felt much more energetic after returning home and couldn't fall asleep.
She didn't fall asleep until dawn.
Lying on the bed, Yan Xi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth when she saw Shen Haiping's message.
But in an instant, she felt very embarrassed again.
She didn't know how to face Shen Haiping's mother.
While she was thinking, Shen Haiping sent the second text message.
[You don't have to be confused about my mother's affairs. She is very open-minded and thinks things through. She will never be confined by rules and regulations. She will not have a bad impression of you and will not have any thoughts at all. Besides, I have already explained to him that it was me who brought you home without your consent while you were asleep, and it has nothing to do with you. 】
Yan Xi stared at these words, and a little sweetness overflowed from her heart.
Shen Haiping is very responsible.
Yan Xi: [Okay, go climb up. ]
Shen Haiping replied quickly, [I'll drive to pick you up. ]
Shen Haiping packed his things, changed his clothes and shoes, put on a hat, took water, drinks and food from the refrigerator, and then found a foldable stool and an umbrella, and went out with his bag on his back.
After going downstairs, he called Yan Xi.
"I'm downstairs."
"Okay."
Yan Xi was ready to go downstairs, and Song Manyun saw that she was going out.
"Are you going out now?"
Yan Xi nodded, "Yes."
Song Manyun said, "You haven't had breakfast yet."
Yan Xi said, "No, my friend is waiting for me downstairs."
Friend?
Song Manyun asked, "Is it Haiping?"
Yan Xi nodded again, "Yes."
Song Manyun clapped her hands, "Yes, young people should go out more."
Yan Xi went out, Song Manyun ran to the window, just in time to see Shen Haiping's car parked downstairs.
Song Manyun opened the window, stretched her neck and shouted, "Haiping!"
Shen Haiping heard the voice and hurried out of the car, "Auntie."
"Haiping, my Xixi hasn't had breakfast yet."
Shen Haiping said, "Okay, auntie, I know, I will take good care of her."
Yan Xi went downstairs, very embarrassed.
Her mother shouted so loudly, it was very embarrassing.
The uncles and aunts in the community looked over, "Oh, Xixi, are you in love?"
"The boy is good."
"Xixi, when is your wedding?"
This made Yan Xi unable to respond.
Instead, Shen Haiping helped her out, "You will definitely be invited to the wedding, everyone should drink a few more glasses."
After getting in the car, Yan Xi's face and ears were still hot.
"You... why did you just say you were going to have a wedding?"
Shen Haiping fastened his seat belt, "The uncles and aunts will ask, and if you don't respond, they will definitely ask questions, so they will be happy to hear it."
Yan Xi muttered, "Where is the wedding?"
Shen Haiping heard it, but he didn't respond.
He knew Yan Xi was embarrassed, so he changed the subject directly. "What do you want to eat?"
Yan Xi said, "Aren't we going to climb the mountain?"
"Didn't you miss breakfast? You must complete the task assigned by your aunt." Shen Haiping said, and started the car.
Yan Xi didn't choose, so Shen Haiping found a breakfast shop, "There is everything in the shop, you can choose."
They came late, and there were not many people eating breakfast.
Yan Xi only ordered a soy milk and a fried cake.
"Have you eaten?"
Shen Haiping said, "I'm done."
The two found a seat by the window and sat down, and Yan Xi ate slowly.
After breakfast, Shen Haiping drove all the way to Xiangshan Park.
On the way, Yan Xi asked, "You explained to your mother, did she...did she say anything?"
Shen Haiping smiled and said, "She said, I asked you to go home so late at night, I don't know how to love you, I don't know how to be considerate."
Yan Xi didn't expect the mother to react like this.
She said, "Your mother is so beautiful and looks so young. If she didn't say it, I really wouldn't have thought that you were mother and son."
Hearing Yan Xi praising Fang Xiaoluo, Shen Haiping was also very proud.
"Yes, she is almost forty years old, but when you look at her, she looks like she is in her twenties."
Almost forty years old?
Yan Xi pondered, Shen Haiping is twenty-five this year, how can his mother be almost forty years old?
But this is someone else's family affair, and if Shen Haiping doesn't say anything, Yan Xi feels it would be impolite to ask.
Shen Haiping indeed didn't explain this matter.
If he and Yan Xi have a relationship in the future, it will be too late to explain it.
"My mother is very capable in business. She is particularly good at selecting people, and everyone manages various matters in an orderly manner, so she doesn't have to worry about a lot of things."
"She is the one who has the final say at home, and we just want to coax her. Of course, this is the reward for her efforts when she was young. If you are willing to hear about my childhood, I can tell you when I have the chance, but it's a bit long."
Yan Xi nodded and responded naturally, "Okay."
She really wanted to hear it.
Shen Haiping said this to her, and she felt that Shen Haiping didn't treat her as an outsider.
