Chapter 16 Sister, don't think too much, we are just siblings
Shen Yumo's eyes were a little swollen!
The reason for this was that she couldn't help but read the book "Happiness Knocks on the Door" twice.
The comparison between her past life and the plot in the novel made her feel a strong resonance with the novel.
Seeing some familiar scenes, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
But looking at the protagonist who always believed that happiness would come at the next moment, she felt a little more admiration and love for him.
If she hadn't invited Cheng Xuyuan to her house for dinner today, she would have gone to find Zhang Dening, the head of her group, to recommend this article.
Such a good novel should be seen by more readers as soon as possible.
She was stunned when she saw the young man sitting on the sofa at home.
She was too familiar with Cheng Xuyuan, the husband she had lived with for more than a year, but she had never slept in the same bed with him! After all, they had the most contact in the past year.
The face remained the same, but something was different.
As for what was different, she couldn't tell.
This is a feeling, a feeling that comes from the bottom of the heart, about something that is familiar.
Originally, when walking out of the room, Shen Yumo was already prepared to say hello.
But now, she didn't know what to say.
Facing Shen Yumo, who was staring at him blankly with swollen eyelids, various thoughts flashed rapidly through Cheng Xuyuan's mind.
What is this for?
A good horse wants to go back to its old pasture?
No, even though Shen Yumo is pretty, and a real rich and beautiful lady, it is me who has feelings for her, not her!
Although I don't hate her, but...but I didn't come here to take over for this master.
You've already said you want a divorce, you can't go back on your word! Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Cheng Xuyuan finally decided to speak first.
"Sister Yumo, I heard from Brother Yulin that you have also started working. Is your work going well?"
Cheng Xuyuan's words sounded like the simplest greeting, but in fact, he was using this sentence to define the relationship between himself and Shen Yumo.
The words "Sister Yumo" were like a solemn declaration to everyone present: Although we have a certificate, from now on, we are siblings!
Shen Yumo was stunned for a moment, and Cheng Xuyuan's words made her sober up from her hesitation.
He calls himself sister!
Does this mean that he has come to his senses from his obsession with himself? Or has he accepted this reality? I should be very happy with this result.
After all, this is the ideal state that I and my family have always been pursuing.
But looking at this calm and carefree young man in front of her, for some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
It seems like something that originally belonged to me has left me from now on.
As long as you persist, happiness will always knock on your door.
Reciting these words from the novel that had left a deep impression on her, she cheered herself up.
"Very good. Xuyuan, have you adapted to Yanjing?"
Cheng Xuyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Yumo's words. From these words, he realized that Shen Yumo should have accepted his definition of the relationship between the two.
We are husband and wife in name only, let’s just be brother and sister from now on.
Shen Yulin listened to the conversation between the two, especially when Cheng Xuyuan called Shen Yumo "sister", he suddenly felt a sense of relief.
This reunion is of great importance to the relationship between Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yumo.
Cheng Xuyuan took the initiative to call her "sister", which shows that this young man has let it go.
That's good!
Ma Xiaoli's thoughts are even more delicate.
As the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she knew very well what her parents-in-law were worried about.
She was afraid that Shen Yumo’s rural husband would cling to her and affect her new life.
Ma Xiaoli always felt that her parents-in-law were right to worry.
After all, this sister-in-law is not only beautiful, but also has a cool and aloof temperament, which always makes people feel pity for her.
She is a woman and still has this feeling, let alone a man.
But Cheng Xuyuan's initiative to speak just now gave her the feeling that Cheng Xuyuan had no intention of renewing his relationship with Shen Yumo.
He even seemed a little afraid to rekindle the old relationship.
This thought scared Ma Xiaoli.
What are you thinking about here?
Who can take the initiative to distance themselves from their sister-in-law? "Not bad." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: "Because of Brother Yulin's care, our curator treats me well."
"A few days ago, a colleague from the cultural center published his work, and he invited all of us to Donglaishun for a hotpot meal."
Shen Yumo, who had completely calmed down, said, "That's good."
"Xuyuan, you are quite smart. When you have nothing to do, you can ask your colleagues for advice."
"Even if I can't publish my work, at least I can...improve myself."
Shen Yumo never thought about the possibility of Cheng Xuyuan publishing his works.
After all, he couldn't even write a good composition before.
I think everyone is Xu Lingyun, who can knock on the door of literature with just one move.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Yumo. I will definitely ask for your advice."
…
Just as the awkward conversation continued, the door was pushed open and a tall middle-aged man wearing a black wool coat walked in.
The man's hair was a little gray, but between his weather-beaten brows and eyes, one could still see the handsomeness of his youth.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on Cheng Xuyuan.
"Dad, this is Xiao Cheng, Cheng Xuyuan." Shen Yulin was the first to step forward and said, "Xiao Cheng, this is... this is my dad."
The master was not unfamiliar with Shen Yumo's father, Shen Yunliang. After all, it was because this man resumed his work that the agreement between him and Shen Yumo was broken.
After Shen Yulin finished speaking, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Hello, uncle, I am Cheng Xuyuan."
Shen Yunliang did not speak immediately, but looked at Cheng Xuyuan for a few times, then smiled and said: "Xiao Cheng, I asked you to come over for dinner a few days ago, but I was too busy with work and didn't have time."
"Today is Sunday, so it's a good time for us to get together."
"This is also a chance for you to get to know your family. We will be relatives from now on. If you have any problems, just come to me."
"You're pretty good."
Listening to these intimate words that solemnly defined their relationship, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little more admiration for Shen Yunliang.
He can't speak to this level.
"Thank you uncle for caring about me. I came to Yanjing from my hometown and have no relatives. From now on, I will treat this place as my own uncle's home!"
Cheng Xuyuan pronounced these three words "dear uncle" with great emphasis and precision.
This was both a polite remark and a firm assurance. It also told Shen Yumo that we would really be brother and sister from now on! When Shen Yunliang and Shen Yulin heard the word "uncle", they immediately understood what Cheng Xuyuan meant, and the smiles on their faces became gentler.
They are people of integrity and will not do anything ungrateful.
However, they were reluctant to let their pampered daughter marry a farmer with whom they could hardly resonate in real life.
Therefore, in order to repay the master, with the help of Shen Yumo's return to the city, he arranged a job for Cheng Xuyuan.
But in her heart, there was always a vague feeling of uneasiness: she was afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would continue to pester her.
Now, Cheng Xuyuan has given up because of the difficulty.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Cheng, since you mentioned your uncle, let's have a couple of drinks together today."
Shen Yunliang waved at Shen Yulin and said, "Go get the bottle of Moutai in my room. Let's drink this today."
