Chapter 29 Secret
Shen Chutang hugged him and comforted him for a while, accompanying him in the same way he accompanied her.
She figured it out. Xie Tong was right. There was nothing to be ashamed of if you liked someone. She liked Shi Chengyu. Now that she knew it, she would not avoid it.
Shi Chengyu returned to the room and was silent for a long time. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Lin Shulan.
I went to school as usual the next day. I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but during morning reading, the head teacher suddenly came in and emphasized the issue of premature love.
Xie Tong looked at Shen Chutang and smiled secretly. Shen Chutang blushed secretly and pinched her hand from below.
She wasn't in love too early, she just liked him. Moreover, she had already decided to become someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shi Chengyu, so now she would focus on studying.
At the end of the morning reading, Xie Tong heard from somewhere that many students who fell in love prematurely were expelled from school, and several people from her class also left. Xie Tong sighed to herself that Shen Chutang had really caught up with the right time, and it seemed that No. 1 Middle School had never been so strict before, which made Shen Chutang angry and quarreled with her again.
By June, Shi Chengyu was no longer so busy and would pick up Shen Chutang on time every day. However, Shen Chutang became busy and would start doing homework after dinner when she got home. In the past, Shen Chutang would accompany Shi Chengyu to work, but now it was Shi Chengyu who would accompany Shen Chutang to do homework.
Under the warm light, Shen Chutang lowered her head and immersed herself in the sea of questions, while Shi Chengyu stood beside her, sometimes reading a book and sometimes looking at her.
After the last final exam, the first summer vacation of high school arrived. No. 1 Middle School organized a study tour to Europe. Both Shen Chutang and Xie Tong had been there before, so they did not sign up.
Xie Tong was free during the holidays and slept until midnight every day at home, but Shen Chutang began to worry. She was busy preparing for the exams some time ago and didn't even have time to prepare a birthday present for Shi Chengyu. Now there were only three days left until his birthday, and she was still not ready.
In Shen Chutang's opinion, this birthday was different. It was the first birthday she celebrated for Shi Chengyu after she realized her feelings, so the gift she gave could naturally be different from the previous ones.
After shopping with Xie Tong for two days, we finally chose a customized silver tie clip with the two letters SC engraved on it.
I just happened to come to pick it up today. Xie Tong looked at the SC on it and asked curiously, "Tangtang, did you miss a letter?"
Shen Chutang looked at the tie clip and smiled softly, "Nothing is missing."
It’s SC, the part where the two names overlap.
Xue Wanqiu came over to cook dinner, and Shen Chutang made the cake. There was no banquet this year, just a family gathering together. Shen Sichen and Shen Sujing also came over.
It's been a while since we last met. Shen Sichen no longer looked sleepy as before and now looks cheerful. Shen Sujing looks more mature and stable than before. He went abroad to shoot a movie some time ago and won several awards. He is now very popular.
Everyone has changed, including Shen Chutang. He is taller than last year and looks thinner. His face is less childish, and his eyes and eyebrows are more open, making him look better.
The few people who were there were rare. It seemed that after growing up, we all had busy things to do, and the number of times we met became less and less.
After dinner, the cake was taken out and placed on the table in the courtyard, where Shen Sichen was still grilling it.
Shen Chutang put candles on the cake, borrowed a lighter from Shen Sichen and lit it. Two small flames flickered in the breeze. "Make a wish, Brother Chengyu."
Shi Chengyu looked at her and smiled, "Tangtang Xu."
When Shen Chutang was a child, every wish she made on her birthday would come true, and she thought it was fun. Whenever someone had a birthday, she would also make a wish alongside. Others thought she was cute and fun, but Shi Chengyu was the only one who let Shen Chutang make every birthday wish from then on.
It seemed like everything had changed, and yet nothing had changed. Shen Chutang smiled faintly, clasped his hands together, and made a wish in his heart.
She made a wish so devoutly, placing her wish on two small candles. She silently repeated it three times in her heart before opening her eyes and blowing out the candles.
"What wish did you make?" Shi Chengyu asked her.
Shen Chutang glanced at him, then looked up at the stars in the sky, "It's a secret. I won't tell you."
Shi Chengyu was slightly startled, then he laughed and asked her, "Then how can Tangtang's wish come true?"
Shen Chutang looked at him again, with stars twinkling in her crooked eyes. She said seriously, "It will come true."
This time, she wants to realize her wish herself.
Shi Chengyu was lost in those eyes, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and then he laughed.
The group of people played until after eleven o'clock before they dispersed. When they returned upstairs, Shen Chutang took out a gift and gave it to Shi Chengyu.
Shi Chengyu was a little surprised, and his voice was a little aggrieved, "I thought Tangtang was so busy that she forgot..."
"How is that possible!" Shen Chutang glared at him coquettishly, "I was always the first one to deliver the gift in the past, but this time I want to be the last one to deliver the gift."
Shi Chengyu rubbed her head and asked, "Why?"
Shen Chutang smiled but did not answer. She hugged his neck and whispered in his ear, "Secret."
She didn't know yet that because of this sentence, Shi Chengyu refused all the birthday gifts he received afterwards. She said she wanted to be the last one, and she would be the last one.
The breath beside his ear was warm, and Shi Chengyu's body froze. It was another secret, but this time he didn't feel annoyed. He vaguely felt that this secret was related to him, and so was his birthday wish today.
He said last time that Shen Chutang would always have a choice with him. He did not lie, but he regretted it. There could only be one choice in front of Shen Chutang, and there would always be only one. That was why he was reluctant to give Shen Chutang to someone else.
Shi Chengyu took her hand and put it on his waist, and it was unclear whether he was sighing or saying to her, "Tangtang, grow up quickly."
He waited too long.
"What?" Shen Chutang didn't hear and asked him softly.
Shi Chengyu pretended to be mysterious and replied, "It's a secret."
They both laughed at the same time. The moon in the sky was not very round, but it was very bright. It turned out that even if it was not a full moon, it was still dazzling and beautiful. A waning moon did not necessarily mean a flaw.
Shen Boyu went out of town to visit old friends this summer, and they no longer had to go to Wuhua Mountain. Shen Chutang stayed at Shi's house for two days and at Shen's house for two days. She didn't like being alone at home, so she would go to whichever house had people around, and she enjoyed running back and forth.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Shen Sichen recently. He goes back to Lan Jiangting more often, two or three times a week, and he is always angry every time he comes back.
Shen Chutang was looking at the competition questions on the desk in the living room when the door of the villa was pushed open and then slammed shut. She knew who had returned without even turning around.
"Second brother, if you do this a few more times, the door to our family will have to be retired." Shen Chutang didn't even raise his head, his voice sounding somewhat helpless.
"It's just right that you're retired, you can change it when you retire! There is nothing that can't be replaced!" Shen Sichen's angry voice rang out, but Shen Chutang felt that it contained a bit of a gamble.
