Chapter 51 What do you want
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little subtle. Shen Chutang sat next to Shi Chengyu, and Shen Sichen sat next to Zhou Xingyang. The former was smiling, while the latter had a frown on his face.
Shen Chutang didn't care about anything else and ate happily by herself, while Shi Chengyu picked up dishes for her and served her soup.
Zhou Xingyang looked up at them from time to time in a daze. This was the first time she saw the two of them being together in such a normal state. Last time in the private room of the club, she only felt that the two of them were very close.
She was still a little surprised when she saw him today. She had met Shi Chengyu before at the homecoming speech for outstanding graduates of University A, and also when she followed Shen Sichen to a meeting.
I have never seen such a gentle side of Shi Chengyu, and the smile on his face never stopped. I remember that my classmates used to joke that Shi Chengyu must have facial paralysis, because he didn't smile at all during the more than two-hour speech.
It turns out that it’s not that he can’t laugh, it’s just that the person who can make him laugh is not around.
Shen Chutang was not only raised by her family with love, but also received special love from someone who was unique in the world. Who wouldn't envy such love?
Shen Chutang didn't pay attention to these. She had been eating light meals recently. She finally got to go out to eat today. She had a good appetite. Shi Chengyu wrapped roast duck for her, and each one was just the right size for her to eat in one bite.
The roast duck at Huadong Mansion is a unique dish in Beijing. She ate happily, swinging her legs while sitting on the chair, chewing and looking at the two people opposite her. Shi Chengyu waited for her to finish eating before calling her over to eat the next one. He estimated that he didn't let her eat too much, and only let her eat two fried golden silk rolls.
Shen Chutang yelled in a low voice in dissatisfaction, asking Shi Chengyu to promise to bring her here to eat next time. Shi Chengyu smiled and agreed again and again, and coaxed her to drink half a bowl of ginseng soup.
When she was full, she realized that Zhou Xingyang and Shen Sichen across from her hadn't eaten much either. She didn't want to wait any longer, so she gently tugged at Shi Chengyu's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go home."
Seeing Shi Chengyu nodded in agreement, Shen Chutang called out to his second brother, "We'll go back first, second brother, you guys eat slowly."
Shen Sichen looked up and said, "Got it. Remember to take your medicine when you get back."
Shen Chutang pouted in dissatisfaction, walked out the door, then suddenly turned back and added playfully, "Don't quarrel."
After getting in the car, Shi Chengyu held her in his arms and rubbed her belly, while answering her strange questions, such as whether they would quarrel in the future and what to do if they quarreled.
Shi Chengyu softened his heart after hearing this, and finally gave her a lollipop to calm her down.

Normally, they were supposed to go back to Suzhou to celebrate the New Year this year, but Zhao Wenxian was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go back, so Chen Musheng rushed back from Suzhou in advance and asked Zhao Wenxian to move to the hospital in Lanjiangting.
She was in the late stage of pregnancy and felt bored at home. Shen Chutang happened to be on vacation now. The environment here in Lanjiangting was good, there were more servants at home, and it was close to the military hospital.
After Chen Musheng came back, he found out that Shen Chutang had been ill for more than half a month. He was so angry that he scolded Shen Sujing again.
But a few days later, Shen Sujing was also injured on the set and came back limping.
The Shen family villa was bustling as never before, leaving Shen Gengli alone in Suzhou, pitifully calling Chen Musheng every day to complain about his grievances.
The scarf that Chen Musheng knitted during the Chinese New Year last year was only completely finished these few days. It’s not her fault that she is slow, it’s just that there are too many people in the family.
It was night time and everyone was at home, so Chen Musheng took the scarves and distributed them.
"Si Chen, this is for your girlfriend." Although she has never met the person, Shen Si Chen has been picky since he was young, so the person he likes will naturally be good.
Shen Sichen leaned on the sofa and looked up, "She doesn't want it."
"What do you mean you told her not to? You didn't even ask her!" Chen Musheng patted his shoulder angrily and put the scarf on his legs, "At least take it over and ask her."
Shen Sichen didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and looked at the scarf on his legs. She didn't even want him, so why would she want his things?
"Brother, if you don't want it, give it to me. I just happen to--"
Shen Sichen immediately slapped away Shen Sujing's hand and put the scarf in his arms, "Get lost."
Shen Sujing withdrew his hand awkwardly and said aggrievedly, "It was you who said you didn't want it, second brother."
Chen Musheng asked her, "Xiaojing, aren't you pregnant? Why do you still want your second brother's?"
Shen Sujing blushed and stammered, "I think the second brother's is better looking."
Chen Musheng looked at him suspiciously, "How did your acting become so popular? Don't tell me that you are a pirate hired by your second brother."
Shen Chutang was amused. As she was trying the scarf on Shi Chengyu, she fell into his arms, her shoulders shaking with laughter. "Third brother, the word 'guilty' is almost written on your face."
Shi Chengyu stroked her back and said, "Slow down."
"Xiao Jing, can you tell me if there is someone you like?" Chen Musheng asked her, and then seemed to remember something, "Is it that actress? What's her name, Man-something?"
"No! Mom, stop guessing. I, I have to go upstairs first!" Shen Sujing pushed through the crowd as if running for his life, limping towards the stairs.
"You little brat! I'm not stopping you." Chen Musheng smiled helplessly, "It looks like I have to weave another scarf."
"Chengyu, you left in such a hurry that day that I forgot to ask you, the color was picked by Tangtang for you, do you like it?"
Shi Chengyu said, "Thank you, Auntie. Tangtang has good taste. I like her very much."
Shen Chutang looked up at him, a little proud. Her scarf was blue-gray, the same color as the sky when Shen Chutang saw him off that day, and also Shen Chutang's favorite color.
Shi Chengyu usually wears dark-colored clothes. Although the blue is eye-catching, it has a hint of gray, so the color is not that bright, which is suitable.
Shen Chutang played with his fingers, "Blue looks best."
"Yeah, it looks good." Shi Chengyu agreed with her with a smile.
Shen Chutang added, "But I want to see you wearing a red one. Next year, when I have time, I will ask mom to teach me and weave a red one for you."
"Okay." Shi Chengyu smiled even happier than her, rubbing his chin against the top of her head, "Thank you Tangtang."
Thank her for coming into his life and accompanying him year after year, and thank her for bringing warmth and sweetness to his life.
Shi Chengyu seemed to regard the scarf as some kind of symbol and never took it off every day. In fact, at the end of the year, Shi Chengyu could be seen wearing the blue-gray scarf at various large and small meetings of the Shi family.
This year, Shi's company had an early holiday, and Lin Shulang also took a large bonus and went on vacation early.
Because of the illness in the fall, Shi Chengyu stayed by Shen Chutang's side every day. He was fully armed when he went out, for fear that she would catch a cold. He also let her drink the medicinal food to regulate her body.
Shen Chutang also received the five sets of tableware, two teacups and two silly little ceramic dolls that Shi Chengyu had promised her.
She originally thought that she would not be able to receive it, and she saw Shi Chengyu almost every day, and she didn't know when he did it.
