Chapter 115 Going to School
Maybe he didn't know that Shen Chutang had fallen in love with him a long time ago. When she didn't even know what love and liking were, she had already started to frequently hold up her camera to record him, capturing that moment and the joy in her heart.
Shi Chengyu flipped through the entire photo album and then gently closed it. "Thank you, auntie. I will keep it well."
Chen Musheng: "You keep it first. Maybe one day Tangtang will remember it and you can give it to her."

Shen Chutang's red scarf took a year to complete. When the first winter snow fell in Beijing, Shi Chengyu wore the scarf as he wished.
It was snowing heavily outside. Shen Chutang looked at the snow and recalled the time when he and Xie Tong played in the snow last year.
After some bargaining with Shi Chengyu, Shi Chengyu agreed to push her into the yard to watch the snow.
Neither of them opened an umbrella. The rustling snow dyed their hair white. Shi Chengyu squatted in front of the wheelchair, holding Shen Chutang's hands to warm them.
Although there are no very intimate actions, it still makes people feel very sweet.
Chen Musheng recalled that year in Suzhou City, when Shen Chutang and Shi Chengyu were playing in the snow downstairs. So many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and some things had come true.
The atmosphere of the New Year this year was even more lively. Ji Man gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. An An was also one year older and more naughty. She was very curious about the baby who was only a few months old. The two families got together, and there were many happy events. Everyone had a smile on their face.
Only Shen Sichen was still single, and Chen Musheng pulled his ears and scolded him several times.
Shen Chutang can now slowly stand up and walk a little but not much. However, she would secretly stand up to practice every time, which would scare Shi Chengyu.
The room upstairs was equipped with handrails for her practice, covered with thick sponge, and the floor was covered with several layers of soft carpets.
When Shen Chutang left, Shi Chengyu stood at the end waiting for her, and hugged her when she came over.
An An knew that Shen Chutang was sick, so he sat aside obediently and watched her learn to walk. Every time Shen Chutang finished walking once, he would clapped his hands and said how great it was.
Xie Tong did not come back this year. I don’t know if he was avoiding his parents or Xie Yi. When he heard that Shen Chutang could walk, he said he would come back this summer to go to school with her.
Shen Chutang was also thinking about going to school, so he started to self-study the freshman and sophomore courses in the spring. It wasn't entirely self-study, after all, his senior Chengyu was here.
Shen Chutang and Xie Tong submitted an application to the school. If they could pass the exams after school started, they could go directly to the third year, but they still had to make up for the previous courses.
Half a year later, Shen Chutang had learned almost all the knowledge, and he didn't know whether Xie Tong had time to learn.
In the middle of summer in June, Xie Tong came back from abroad and went to Shen's house to play with Shen Chutang, just like the year they graduated from high school.
After disconnecting from the timeline and reconnecting it, they prepared things for the start of school like newly graduated high school students.
Shen Chutang's health is not as good as it was that year, but she still prepared the things she needed for accommodation. The house opposite the school had already been redecorated, waiting for her to move in.
On the first day of school for freshmen, they both stepped into the campus again like all the other freshmen. They didn't have much luggage, but there were a lot of people there.
Chen Musheng walked in front holding Shen Chutang's arm, admiring the scenery of the school. Shen Gengli and Shi Chengyu followed behind, and Shen Sichen was lazily pulling a suitcase at the back.
Next to Xie Tong was Xie Yi, who was carrying her two suitcases with an expressionless face. He was taller than before and looked even colder.
The dormitory for two people has an independent room and a small living room. The room had been cleaned in advance and the beds had been made by someone in advance.
Chen Musheng helped Shen Chutang sit on the sofa. "It looks okay, but it's a little small."
Xie Tong: "Auntie, the little one is warm and cozy. It would seem empty if we were just two people."
Chen Musheng nodded, "Yes, this condition is much better than what Yan Heng offered back then."
When Shen Yanheng was admitted, he lived in an ordinary four-person room and only lived there for two years. In his junior year, he went to the countryside for internship and gain experience.
"It's already good, Mom. Besides, you won't live here every day." Shen Chutang hugged her arm and rubbed his head against it, "and it will only be two years at most."
Chen Musheng patted her hands, "Mom knows, isn't she worried about you?"
"I'm old enough, mom. I'm not a child anymore."
Chen Musheng listened to her and smiled, "Yes, Tangtang is a big kid now."
Those years passed so long, and now in the blink of an eye I am surprised to realize that so many years have passed. It always makes people forget Shen Chutang's age.
"So none of you need to worry about me. I can take care of myself." Shen Chutang looked around and finally his eyes fell on Shi Chengyu's face, meeting his helpless and doting gaze.
In Xie Tong's room, Xie Yi packed her things. He put the computer tablet on the desk, various bottles and jars of cosmetics and skin care products on the dressing table, and finally put the clothes into the closet.
Xie Yi took out a bunch of keys from his suit pocket and handed them to her. "It's the neighborhood opposite the school. If you're scared of living alone, you can live there."
Xie Tong looked at him like he was a fool, "Are you sick?"
How could a woman who dared to beat up a disobedient lion be afraid of sleeping alone? Besides, if she was alone here, would she not be alone there? What was the difference?
"no."
Xie Yi answered seriously, and then said, "Mom and Dad miss you very much. Please come home more often when you have time."
"If they missed me, they would have come and sent me off." Xie Tong pouted and lay down on the bed.
Xie Yi pursed his lips and said, "I will tell them."
Xie Tong had no idea what he was going to say, nor was he interested. After packing up his things, he urged him to leave.
On the first day of school, the two of them went to the cafeteria out of curiosity, and in the evening they squeezed into one bed.
Shen Chutang heard Xie Tong turning over again and asked, "Xie Tong, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Oh, you haven't slept yet."
"I'm thinking about tomorrow's class and I can't sleep." Besides that, she was also thinking about Shi Chengyu. She wondered if he had eaten and taken medicine on time and if he was asleep now.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xie Tong hummed long and deeply, "I was wondering what it feels like to like someone."
"Ah?" Shen Chutang turned over and lay on her side in confusion. She thought that since Xie Tong could enlighten her in that way, he must be very clear about these things.
But words of comfort and enlightenment can only be said to others, but they cannot convince yourself.
"Well, I want to know what it feels like to like someone."
Shen Chutang asked, "Is it because of Xie Yi?"
Xie Tong shook his head. "Yes and no. Anyway, it's very complicated."
Shen Chutang looked at her serious expression and wanted to laugh. "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Time will give you the answer."
Xie Tong sighed, "Ah... I hope so."
"Okay, okay, go to sleep. You have classes tomorrow."
