Chapter 34 Like
The two people with different thoughts had a disagreement, and Shen Chutang's attitude was unprecedentedly tough.
It was the first time that Shi Chengyu faced Shen Chutang like this. His heart felt like it was cut open and bleeding. He left in a panic and almost tripped. He almost ran back to the room.
Shen Chutang leaned against the head of the bed, hugged his knees with his hands, buried his face in them, and let the tears flow down.
The next day, Shen Chutang returned to the Shen family. Shi Chengyu followed her to see her off. Looking at her back, which looked so thin and lonely, he resisted the urge to rush over.
Uncle Wen looked at the two of them with surprise in his eyes. He had been in the Shen family for at least ten years, and this was the first time he saw them like this.
Shen Chutang walked into the villa without looking back, without saying goodbye to him, and without smiling sweetly at him. Shi Chengyu suddenly lost the courage to follow her in.
"Uncle Wen, Tangtang has been in a bad mood these past two days. You guys should keep an eye on her." After Shi Chengyu said this, he turned around and walked back, his steps stiff and slow.
Shen Chutang looked at the exercises on the table and suddenly found it a little funny. She tried so hard to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but she never considered whether he was willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with her. In the end, it was just her wishful thinking. In his heart, she was just a younger sister.
When Shen Sichen came back, he saw Uncle Wen carrying a thick stack of books downstairs, and several people following him were also holding books in their hands.
"What's going on?"
Uncle Wen put the book on the ground and said, "The young lady asked me to throw it away."
Shen Sichen picked up a book and flipped through a few pages. "Isn't this well written? Are you going to throw it away before you finish writing the rest?"
"I don't know either." Uncle Wen replied, and then said, "Why don't you go upstairs and see the young lady first? She was in a bad mood when she came back this morning and has been in the greenhouse all morning."
"OK."
Shen Sichen took the elevator to the top floor and knocked on the door of the glass greenhouse.
The glass greenhouse was built on the rooftop. The temperature inside was constant. Shen Chutang sat on the rocking chair inside, hugging her legs and rocking gently.
"What's wrong, Tang'er?"
Shen Sichen said lazily, and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, "Why do you look so sad?"
Shen Chutang's reaction was a little slow. After a second or two, he looked at Shen Sichen and asked, "Is there?"
Shen Sichen sneered, "No." Then he pointed at her face, "Here, here, and here, none of them."
Shen Chutang glared at him and turned away, "I want to be alone for a while."
"Stay alone for a while? How long have you been here? Have you figured it out?" Shen Sichen asked her with amusement. It was rare to see her being depressed here alone.
Shen Chutang was stunned by his question. She really didn't understand it clearly. It seemed that she was stuck in a dead end and couldn't get out.
Shen Sichen looked hesitant and said, "Is there anything you can't tell your second brother?"
"I usually just joke about those little things, but if you really encounter problems, how can I not help you?" Shen Sichen moved towards her and reached out to rub her head.
Shen Chutang looked at him and suddenly asked, "Second brother, how did you get to know Sister Xing Yang?"
"We?" Shen Sichen sighed softly, "It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"Second brother likes her, right?" Shen Chutang asked again.
Shen Sichen chuckled, a little surprised, "You have a good eye, ordinary people may look stupid, but you are quite accurate in your judgment."
He admitted it very generously. Although Shen Chutang didn't know anything more, he felt that the smile on Shen Sichen's face at this moment was very genuine and gentle.
Shen Sichen asked, "Does Tang'er have someone he likes?"
She really couldn't hide things on her face, all her emotions were written on it. No one had ever taught her to endure anything since she was a child. As the one and only precious daughter of the Shen family, she could do whatever she wanted, say whatever she wanted, smile when she was happy and turn a face when she was unhappy, and she had the capital to do so.
The eyes widened in surprise. Shen Chutang nodded and shook his head, "I like him. I think I do."
"But he doesn't seem to like me. He never treats me as an equal."
There was a strong sense of loss in Shen Chutang's voice, and it was the first time that Shen Sichen saw her like this.
"So... this is why you studied so hard recently?"
Shen Chutang nodded, then shook his head. Yes, but not entirely.
"Tang'er, if someone doesn't like you, no matter how hard you try, it's useless. If someone likes you, they will like you no matter what you do."
Shen Sichen said that words of encouragement can only comfort others, but when it happened to him, he would fight to the death to keep the person by his side.
"Our Tang'er is the daughter of a rich family. She is pretty, has good grades, a good personality, and is good at chess, painting, and playing the piano. She has countless advantages. He doesn't like Tang'er because he has no vision, and it is a loss for his whole life."
Shen Sichen rubbed her head again. In his heart, his sister was perfect in every way and no one was worthy of her. Seeing her so distressed for a man, he just felt distressed.
"So, Tang'er, no one is worth us Tang'er's sadness."
Shen Chutang's eyes were sore, "Brother, will you understand these principles when you grow up?"
Shen Sichen smiled, "No, Tang'er, you can only understand these truths after going through some things, but Second Brother never wants you to go through these. We Tang don't have to go through those in our lifetime, as long as we are happy and worry-free."
Shen Chutang raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, got down from the rocking chair and sat on the sofa, resting his head on his shoulder, "Second brother..."
"Okay, okay, it's been a while since you cried in front of me. I'm not used to it anymore." Shen Sichen patted her back awkwardly, "Cry for a while and then go downstairs to eat."
"Are you bored at home alone? Cheng Yu and I are both busy lately. If you are bored, ask Xie Tong to come home and keep you company."
"Your birthday is coming up in a few days. How do you want to celebrate it this year?"
After dinner, Shen Sichen watched TV with her in the living room. He felt relieved when he saw that she was in a better mood.
Shen Chutang thought for a while and suddenly said, "Brother, I want to go out and play."
"Okay, just let the driver take you wherever you want to go." Shen Sichen agreed readily.
Shen Chutang shook his head and said, "I want to go somewhere far away to play."
She wanted to be alone, go farther away, and calm herself down. There were some things she still wanted to think through on her own.
Shen Sichen was a little surprised, "Alone?"
Shen Chutang nodded.
Shen Sichen immediately refused, "No."
Although Shen Sichen held a laissez-faire attitude, Shen Chutang had always been under his watch since she was a child. Regardless of how old Shen Chutang was, she had never gone out alone since she was a child. He was even more curious about which bastard had made Shen Chutang so sad.
"You can't accompany me, and you're not alone. Ask Xie Tong to come along. There will be a driver and a nanny with us. I want to go out and relax."
