Chapter 25: Dada
It was too far away for Shen Chutang to see clearly, but he could vaguely see that it was a girl. When Shen Sichen came back, he looked at him meaningfully, "Second brother, who is that?"
Shen Sichen tapped her head and took the things from Shen Sujing's hand, "Children should not ask about adult matters."
"I'm not a child anymore. If you don't tell me, I'll tell my parents!"
"Hey! Who did you learn this way of telling tales from?" Shen Sichen turned his head and glanced at her. "Don't tell me. If you tell me, I'll deduct your pocket money."
Shen Chutang got into the car whining. Of course, it was not because of the pocket money that she decided not to tell anyone. She had never paid for anything she bought. If Shen Sichen didn't want to agree, she certainly wouldn't complain to his or her mother.

On New Year's Eve, the family had a reunion dinner. Shen Chutang stayed up all night to watch the New Year. When it was almost twelve o'clock, Shi Chengyu called her and asked her to look out the window.
As soon as the clock struck midnight, a cloud of fireworks exploded in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Shen Chutang couldn't help but exclaimed, staring intently, exclaiming, "Brother Chengyu, so beautiful."
Shen Chutang really liked watching fireworks, but she remembered that fireworks were not allowed in Suzhou, and she couldn't even buy sparklers.
The last cloud of fireworks disappeared into the night sky. Shen Chutang came back to his senses and said, "Brother Chengyu, thank you."
"Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Tangtang."
Shi Chengyu said softly, as the sound of firecrackers continued to ring in the distance, he just felt that he should be next to Shen Chutang at this moment.
"Okay, go to bed, it's getting late."
Shen Chutang yawned, "Okay, good night, Brother Chengyu."
"Good night, Tangtang."
"Chengyu, who are you talking to on the phone?"
Shi Chengyu put down his phone and walked towards the living room. There were many people sitting on the sofa. Grandpa Shi insisted on staying up all night every year. Shi Hexun was the youngest child in the family. He had two older brothers and an older sister. He had been spoiled since childhood. Shi Chengyu was his only son and was even more loved by the elders.
"Chengyu, who are you talking to on the phone so late at night?"
Shi Chengyu lowered his eyes, "It's about work."
"You're still busy with work so late, He Xun, why did you make Chengyu so tired?"
"That's right. Chengyu is already quite old and doesn't even have a partner."
Shi Hexun was speechless. How could he have asked Shi Chengyu to be busy?
"Brother, you have to look around to see if there are any suitable girls in the circle and introduce them to us, Cheng Yu..."
"It doesn't have to be someone from the same circle. We don't care about that anymore in this era. As long as Cheng Yu likes it, it's fine..."
So many people were talking at the same time, Shi Chengyu smiled faintly and did not respond.
Old Master Shi coughed a few times and said, "Alright, don't make plans for Chengyu. He has his own plans." He looked at Shi Chengyu and said, "Just remember to bring someone home to see if you find someone you like."
"Okay, Grandpa." Shi Chengyu agreed, and his smile was more genuine than before.
Everyone was slightly surprised. You looked at me and I looked at you. Does this mean that you already have someone you like?
......
After staying in Suzhou for another week, Shen Chutang and the other two returned to Beijing.
After getting off the plane, I thought the driver would come to pick me up, but unexpectedly it was Shi Chengyu waiting there.
Shen Chutang couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms. It had only been half a month since they last saw each other, but it felt like several years had passed.
"Okay, okay, let's go home first." Shi Chengyu put his arm around her shoulders and greeted the two people behind him, "Second brother, Su Jing, I'll take Tangtang home first."
Shen Sichen waved his hands at him and couldn't help but complain, "I don't know who is sticking to whom between the two of them."
Shi Chengyu took her to eat first, and then they went back to the cat cafe in Lanjiangting after dinner.
Most of the cats adopted here are stray cats. The story began many years ago. At that time, Shen Chutang saw a stray cat in the community and wanted to adopt it, but Shen Sichen was allergic to cat hair, and she was afraid that she would not be able to raise the cat well, so she took cat food to feed it every day.
After Shi Chengyu knew about this, he cleaned up a house and decorated it to look like a cat cafe. He had someone come to clean and take care of the cat on a regular basis. Daidai was the first cat they adopted.
When I first adopted it, it was a skinny little kitten, but now it has become a big fat cat who knows how to act coquettishly.
Shen Chutang was holding a kitten that was born some time ago in her arms. Daidai seemed to be jealous and rubbed against her legs.
Shi Chengyu picked up Daidai and put him on his lap, his voice also carrying a little bit of subtle jealousy, "Daidai, be good, let's wait a moment, Tangtang will come to accompany us after she finishes accompanying the ice cream cone."
Daidai meowed a few times and rubbed Shi Chengyu's hand. Shen Chutang looked at the man and the cat with some amusement, "Brother Chengyu, Sister Liang said Daidai is too fat and can't eat so many cans."
Shen Chutang actually felt a little guilty about this matter. She blamed herself for being soft-hearted and giving it more canned food every time. As a result, it turned out to be a greedy little fat cat.
Shi Chengyu knew this, so he just held the can in his hand without opening it, and teased Daidai, "Tangtang said we can't eat it, so we both have to listen."
Daidai was so anxious that he stretched out his claws to grab it, but couldn't catch it. Suddenly, he jumped onto Shen Chutang's legs, crying out in grievance.
Shen Chutang put the kitten down and rubbed Daidai's head. "Why are you so greedy, Daidai? I can hardly hold you."
"Let me do it." Shi Chengyu brought Daidai back and handed her a cat noodle. "Give Daidai one of these."
Shen Chutang glanced at the pitiful Daidai, smiled, and tore open the package to feed it.
"Be good after eating cat noodles."
Shi Chengyu's eyes never left her face for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Last time at Wuhua Villa, Shen Boyu warned him openly and secretly not to play those tricks on Shen Chutang, but if he had seen Shi Chengyu with Shen Chutang, he would have found that he was completely relaxed in front of Shen Chutang, and sometimes even more childish than Shen Chutang.
......
The weather gradually warmed up, and the days were plain but happy. However, Shi Chengyu seemed to be busier, and sometimes Uncle Shang came to pick her up.
As soon as I got home today, I smelled the fragrance of rice. Shen Chutang trotted in, "Brother Chengyu!"
"Tangtang?" Xue Wanqiu turned around when she heard the voice. "Chengyu hasn't come back yet. Do you want to eat something first?"
"Aunt Xue!" Shen Chutang walked over to her side and stood looking at the bubbling pork chop soup in the casserole, the aroma filling her nose, "I'm not hungry yet, let's wait for Brother Chengyu to come back and eat together."
Uncle Shang happened to come in carrying a schoolbag and said, "Madam, Miss, Assistant Lin just called and said that Mr. will be back later today, so let Miss eat first."
"Oh! What a coincidence." Xue Wanqiu was surprised. She finally came here, but ended up having to work overtime when Shi Chengyu did.
"When will he come back?" Shen Chutang asked.
Uncle Shang said: "Assistant Lin didn't say anything, he just told the young lady to go to bed early after dinner."
Shen Chutang felt a little disappointed, which meant that he would be back very late. The soup in the clay pot was still bubbling, but she lost her appetite just looking at it.
Xue Wanqiu also sighed, feeling a little distressed, "Chengyu has been too busy recently, he can't ignore his health, let's have someone send it over."
Shen Chutang's eyes widened instantly, and he wiped away his disappointment just now, "Aunt Xue, I'll go and see you off!"
