Sunken House
The next day after school, as soon as Shen Hanshi walked out of the school gate, he saw the Shen family driver who had been waiting for a long time not far away.
Because reporters often secretly photographed Shen Wangjing, the Shen family's car was kept very secret, and standing outside it was impossible to see what was going on inside. Therefore, after the driver opened the car door, Shen Hanshi saw Shen Wangjing sitting in the back seat. The man was wearing a straight black suit, his long legs crossed, and his face was stern. Because he had been in a high position for a long time, he had an oppressive feeling, even more stylish than an international supermodel.
"Dad." Chen Hanshi greeted him and sat down with a normal expression.
Chen Hanshi had been thinking a lot over the past two days. Shen Wangjing's actions had indeed disappointed and angered him, but there was no denying that Shen Wangjing was his father. He had always been responsive to his every request and had never done him any wrong. He wouldn't break up with Shen Wangjing just because he was getting married. He respected Shen Wangjing's right to pursue his own happiness. His relationship with the Shen family wasn't something he could easily sever. The best approach was to pretend to be a loving father and filial son. As for the extra affection he had previously felt, since Shen Wangjing no longer wanted it, he had to cut it off.
On the way here, Shen Wangjing was worried that Shen Hanshi was still angry and would not give him a good face, but he did not expect Shen Hanshi to take the initiative to call him.
"Baby, this is a new product from the store you like. Try it and see if it tastes good." Shen Wangjing attentively took out the dessert he had just bought on the road.
"Thank you, Dad." Chen Hanshi took it.
“Baby, don’t you want to try it?” Shen Wangjing looked at Shen Han with no intention of opening his eyes, and his eyes darkened.
"Grandma also likes to eat at this restaurant. Let's eat there with grandpa and grandma when we get back to the old house." After Shen Hanshi finished speaking, Shen Wangjing fell silent. Whatever the old lady of the Shen family wanted to eat, not to mention the younger generations of the Shen family, even those who wanted to curry favor with the Shen family would take great pains to send it to her. Shen Hanshi just didn't want to eat the food he bought, so he was just perfunctorily trying to please him.
"Oh, my dear, your dad told me that you live in the school dormitory. Darling, let's go home and live with grandma instead of your dad. It's a bit far, but we have a driver so it's not a hassle. You see, you've lost a lot of weight. Grandma is heartbroken." As soon as Shen Hanshi got out of the car, his mother pulled him around to see if her precious grandson had lost weight.
Shen Wangjing was also standing nearby, observing. It had only been two days, so he hadn't lost much weight, but he didn't look as good as before. He was considering whether to agree to his mother's request and let Shen Hanshi move to the Shen residence, and then find an excuse to move in himself.
"Grandma, you're mistaken. I'm not really thin, otherwise I'd weigh myself and show you later. I eat well and sleep well at school. Besides, I've only lived here for one day, how could I have lost weight? You must have missed me too much. I will definitely come to visit you and grandpa often in the future." Although Shen Hanshi had a cold temper, he was as sweet-mouthed as other grandchildren in front of Shen's father and mother. Hearing what Shen's mother said, he quickly comforted her.
"I think Hanshi hasn't lost much weight. How can the conditions of such a good school be worse than Hanshi's? He is now so old and has his own ideas. It would be good for him to live in school and hang out with people of the same age and get some exercise. Why does he always stay with us old people?" Father Shen patted his grandson's shoulder and praised him.
Mother Shen thought about it and said, "Okay, Han Shi really needs to spend more time with people of the same age, otherwise you, you have been introverted since childhood. Now you take the initiative to live in the school dormitory, and grandma can't stop you, but if you are bullied at school, you must tell grandpa and grandma." Mother Shen was worried.
In front of his grandparents, Shen Hanshi looked like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen. He put his arm around his grandmother and said affectionately, "Don't worry, grandma, no one dares to bully your grandson." Then he put his arm around Shen's father's shoulders and said, "Grandpa, you and grandma are not old. You are old and strong, and grandma is in the prime of her life."
Shen Hanshi's words made Shen's parents smile from ear to ear, their hearts filled with joy. Shen Wangjing also smiled beside him, feeling that the old Shen Hanshi had finally returned. Shen Hanshi had been arguing with him for the past few days, making Shen Wangjing feel depressed and stern at work, making everyone in the company tremble with fear.
After dinner, Shen's father asked Shen Wangjing to go to the study to discuss company matters, and Shen Hanshi sat on the sofa to watch TV with Shen's mother.
Shen's mother took her grandson's hand and patted it, "Hanshi, I heard that your father is in contact with the eldest daughter of the Yang family." She glanced at Shen Hanshi, sighed and continued, "Your father has not had an easy time these years. Your father is the only one who worries about anything in the company. At home, he also has to think about you, me and his father. When you were young, I advised him to find a woman to live a peaceful life and marry, but your father was unwilling for your sake. Now that you have grown up, he has this idea himself, and I hope you can understand your father too. I asked your father, he doesn't plan to have children, and we also think that having you is enough, so whether he gets married or not, you are your father's only son and our only grandson. Everything in the Shen family will be handed over to you in the future."
Shen Hanshi knew that Shen's mother was acting as a lobbyist. "Grandma, I'm not worried that someone else will compete with me for the family property. Everything in the Shen family is built by Dad and Grandpa. I haven't made any effort or contribution. It's Dad and Grandpa's business to decide how to deal with it. I've been spoiled by you in the Shen family for so many years, and I'm already very happy. I won't stop Dad from pursuing his own happiness. It's up to him to decide whether to get married or not. I will fulfill my responsibilities as a son."
Mother Shen touched Shen Hanshi's head and said, "Silly child, you are still young now. Everything in the Shen family will definitely be yours in the future. The future of the Shen family also depends on you."
Mother Shen said some intimate words to Shen Hanshi again, and then Shen Wangjing and Father Shen came down.
Shen Hanshi promised his grandparents to come visit them often, and took a bunch of food that Shen's mother stuffed into him to take to school. Even Shen Wangjing's hands couldn't hold it anymore, so he and Shen Wangjing left in the car.
"Baby, are you really not going to come live with grandpa and grandma? They are old and really want to have a relative around them."
Shen Hanshi knew what Shen Wangjing was thinking. He shook his head and said, "I have already made an agreement with grandma that I will visit them often. They also often get together with the elderly from other families, so they won't be too bored at the Shen residence."
When they arrived at school, Shen Wangjing insisted on helping Shen Hanshi take his things to the dormitory and taking a look at Shen Hanshi's dormitory.
When Chen Hanshi came, he followed her carrying his things.
Shen Wangjing was dressed in a suit at night, handsome and powerful. The security guard thought some leader was coming to inspect, but he hadn't been notified, and what was he inspecting at night? The security guard took a closer look and saw that this was the school director hanging on the wall.
The security guard quickly opened the door and hurriedly reported to his superiors.
The leaders who were still at the school were also confused, wondering why Shen Wangjing came here so late at night. Then they thought, he must be here to see his son. He was not here to inspect, but they couldn't slack off, so they quickly ran out of the office to greet him.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the apartment, they ran into the school leader who came over. "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I just received a call and found out you were coming. You came to see your son."
"Well, Principal Wang, I just came to take a look. You can go about your business and don't worry about me." Shen Wangjing sent these school leaders away.
Chen Hanshi opened the dormitory door. The room was dark and Fu Yuansheng was not there.
Shen Hanshi turned on the light, and Shen Wangjing followed in.
When Shen Wangjing saw the obvious signs of life on the other bed, his face darkened. He asked Shen Han unhappily, "You sleep in the same room with others. Doesn't this school have single rooms?"
"The single room is full, and they're all men. It's nothing." Chen Hanshi said indifferently. Although Chen Hanshi didn't want to live with others, he didn't want to go home even more.
"Just because they are all men, it is even more unacceptable, you..." Shen Wangjing raised his voice, then suddenly lowered it, gritting his teeth and saying, "Don't you like men?"
Shen Hanshi felt puzzled. He had liked Shen Wangjing before, but what did that have to do with gender? He didn't want to be with Shen Wangjing just because he was a man, nor would he decide that he liked a man just because the first person he liked was Shen Wangjing. In Shen Hanshi's eyes, liking someone had nothing to do with gender, it only had to do with who the person was.
He couldn't help but frown. "What are you thinking? What does this have to do with gender? It's getting late. You should go home. The driver is still waiting outside."
Chen Wangjing saw that Chen Hanshi really didn't want him to stay here, and an unignorable discomfort surged in his heart. He thought, Chen Hanshi would never treat him like this before, especially when he was a child. He would sit on the sofa every night and hold his little pillow obediently, waiting for him to come out of the study and hold him to sleep. When he held him, he would lean over and whisper in his ear that he wanted to sleep with his dad.
Shen Wangjing touched his pocket in boredom, habitually wanting to smoke, but when he thought about being in Shen Hanshi’s dormitory, he moved his hand away from the cigarette box.
Shen Hanshi noticed Shen Wangjing’s little action, and he said again, “Dad, go back.”
"Okay, take care of yourself." Shen Wangjing looked at Shen Hanshi deeply and walked out with his long legs.
