"Yes …"
Shen Youchu nodded gently, indicating that this small table lamp was indeed a gift from Chen Hansheng.
After hearing this answer, Xiao Rongyu's shoulders suddenly collapsed, as if the strength to support her standing was sucked out.
Xiao Chen, did you give the gift I gave you to someone else?
"Are you alright?"
Shen Youchu was worried that Xiao Rongyu could not stand steadily, so she subconsciously wanted to walk up to support her.
"I don't need your help!"
Xiao Rongyu held back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes and said coldly.
Shen Youchu hesitated and stepped back a few steps. There was some doubt and grievance in her eyes, but she would not be angry with her character.
Hu Linyu's mouth twitched. With her temper, she was 100% sure that she would fight back, but this time Xiao Hu did not say anything. He just held A Ning a little further away.
Relying on a woman's intuition, Secretary Hu judged that Xiao Rongyu was not here to cause trouble.
In addition, Hu Linyu was also a witness in the Shuraba last time.
After a while, Xiao Rongyu seemed to realize that her tone was not right. She lowered her eyes and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I'll be fine after a rest."
The previously lively living room quickly quieted down. The snowflakes rustled against the window, accentuating the tranquil atmosphere. Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu were in a standoff.
Unlike Xiao Rongyu who was getting closer to the truth of the matter, Shen Youchu was in a state of ignorance.
She finally finished her exams today. She was sorting out the materials during her revision and thinking about where Chen Hansheng would take her to spend Christmas.
Shen Youchu was not very willing to go to crowded places. She wanted to stay at home to tutor A Ning or check accounts with Hu Linyu. In the past six months, she had been preparing for her exams, so the milk tea shop business was all done by her good friends. Otherwise, she would help Auntie Liang and Xiao Chen knit some sweaters. In short, she had many things to do.
However, because it was Chen Hansheng's request, Shen Youchu would not object, as long as he could be happy.
She just did not expect that Xiao Rongyu would suddenly appear.
Just like Xiao Rongyu never forgot Shen Youchu, Shen Youchu also remembered this princess who was loved by everyone.
When Chen Hansheng was quarantined in the New Era Office Building because of SARS, Shen Youchu silently waited outside. At that time, except for Liang Meijuan, Hu Linyu and other college classmates, almost no one looked at them.
As for Xiao Rongyu, the parents of both families gathered around her. Chen Hansheng's high school friends and even some officials in Jiangling District took the initiative to comfort and chat with them after hearing about Xiao Hongwei and Chen Zhaojun's positions.
At that time, Shen Youchu felt that this girl was beautiful, proud, and came from a good family. Even if she was nervous, she could still communicate with others normally, unlike her who blushed and got nervous after saying a few words.
Therefore, the moment Chen Hansheng came out safely, Shen Youchu quietly left and gave the opportunity to hug Xiao Rongyu. She went back to Rocket 101 and lay on the table silently.
In fact, Shen Youchu also wanted to hug Chen Hansheng, but she felt inferior.
That year, Shen Youchu and Xiao Rongyu were both 19 years old. They were still young.
However, it was strange that Xiao Rongyu didn't appear after the quarantining incident. Chen Hansheng explained that she had transferred to another school and that he and Xiao Rongyu were just classmates.
Shen Youchu couldn't sleep for many days, but in the end, she chose to believe him.
Later, the two got along peacefully. From the second year to the fourth year, many twists and turns happened during this period, such as fake cancer, bankruptcy of Rocket 101, and bringing her mother-in-law and A Ning to Jianye. Under Chen Hansheng's encouragement, Shen Youchu also raised her head in school.
Just when Shen Youchu was waiting for Chen Hansheng to take her home this year during the Spring Festival, Xiao Rongyu found her.
This year, Xiao Rongyu and Shen Youchu were both 22 years old. They had already grown up.
"After last time …"
After a while, Xiao Rongyu still spoke first. She seemed to have hidden all her emotions. "How are you and little … you and Chen Hansheng getting along?"
"It's, it's fine."
Shen Youchu didn't know the cause and effect, so she just answered honestly. She and Chen Hansheng had always been in a good relationship.
"Oh."
Xiao Rongyu fell silent again. In fact, she and Chen Hansheng had always been in a good relationship all these years.
She completely understood that the Samsung employee didn't lie.
Xiao Chen was really amazing. How did he manage to divide his attention between two girls? At the same time, he made them feel that this was a sweet relationship, and even … They couldn't help but look forward to their life after marriage.
"Phew …"
Xiao Rongyu raised her head to stop her tears from falling down.
However, she still couldn't stop her tears. They flowed from the corners of her eyes, along her temples, and slowly dripped onto the down jacket.
A single drop was a round mark.
She was such a proud and sad girl. She didn't want to wipe it in front of others.
"Please don't cry."
Shen Youchu found a tissue and walked a few steps forward to give it to her. She didn't know why, but when she saw Xiao Rongyu's tears, her eyes also felt sour.
Looking at Shen Youchu's sincere face, Xiao Rongyu finally took the tissue. The moment their fingers touched, they both felt a little cold.
"You …"
Xiao Rongyu suddenly thought of something. She wiped her tears and asked, "Do you plan to get married?"
Chen Hansheng didn't seem to have talked about this topic. Shen Youchu was about to shake her head, but Xiao Hu reminded her, "Didn't Teacher Mo say that he'll arrange for you to get married next summer?"
"Next year's summer vacation?"
It was obviously the time when she and Xiao Chen were going to get married. Xiao Rongyu suddenly felt her stomach churning. She knew that she couldn't stay here any longer. Otherwise, she would lose control of her emotions.
"I …"
As soon as Xiao Rongyu opened her mouth, her tears fell down again. She carelessly wiped them with the back of her hand, sniffled and said, "I don't have anything else to do. I'm just planning to leave Jianye, so I came to see you. I wish … I wish …"
Xiao Rongyu still couldn't say "I wish you happiness" out loud.
This was probably the saddest thing in the world. The person she loved was going to get married, but the person who said "I do" wasn't her.
Shen Youchu was in a daze and didn't know what to do. Although she was naive, she could feel the sadness and sadness of the girl in front of her.
"I'm leaving."
Xiao Rongyu was just about to leave when she looked at the small table lamp in her hand. She smiled while crying. "Can you give this to me? I like this color very much."
"Sure."
Shen Youchu agreed without hesitation. She suddenly felt that Xiao Rongyu seemed to be a better match with this small table lamp.
"Tap, tap, tap …"
Xiao Rongyu didn't say anything more. She walked downstairs without saying a word. However, as soon as she drove the Chevrolet out of the community, she finally couldn't hold back. She hugged the small table lamp and cried with all her strength.
This cry represented the end of her youth.
This cry represented the premature end of her love.
This cry meant that all of his fantasies had gone up in smoke.
… ….
Right at this moment, Chen Hansheng came back from the hotel room. He didn't notice the Chevrolet, nor did he realize that Xiao Rongyu would find this place. However, when he opened the door, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The living room wasn't as lively as usual. Shen Youchu's eyes were slightly red. Hu Linyu was sitting on the sofa with little Ning in her arms. Ning was very quiet today. She didn't rush up to hug her legs like before. Even Dong'er, who was cooking in the kitchen, was very quiet.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Hansheng asked with a frown.
Hu Linyu, who usually liked to interrupt others, looked at Shen Youchu this time.
"Xiao Rongyu … just came."
Shen Youchu raised her head and said.
"Who?"
Chen Hansheng's first reaction was that he had misheard. The second reaction was that his head exploded.
Even if it was ET, it would be easier to deal with it than Little Yu 'er.
"Xiao Rongyu."
Shen Youchu repeated.
Chen Hansheng paused for three seconds, then immediately waved his hand and said, "You must have mistaken her for someone else. Don't talk nonsense. Um … I seem to have forgotten to lock the car door. Let's go downstairs and have a look."
Even if it was Chen Hansheng, he could only find such a lame way. With a bang, he closed the door and went downstairs.
"Why is Little Yu 'er here?"
"What did they say when they met?"
"Shen Youchu's mood is more stable. What about Xiao Rongyu? They can't just be chatting over a cup of tea."
… ….
Chen Hansheng didn't want to look into the reason now. He just wanted to confirm Little Yu 'er's condition.
When he came downstairs, he naturally couldn't find Xiao Rongyu's figure. His eyes were full of messy flying snow. Chen Hansheng quickly took out his mobile phone and called her.
"I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to grow up.
This was Little Yu'er's ringtone. It was her song "I Don't Want to Grow Up." At that time, Chen Hansheng had made fun of Little Yu'er for not wanting to grow up even though she was already in her twenties. However, he was bitten by Little Yu'er.
"Hello ~"
The call was finally connected. Chen Hansheng hurriedly said, "Little Yu'er, where are you? Listen to my explanation. This house was given to me by someone before, so I let Shen Youchu live in it for a while …"
"Xiao Chen …"
Little Yu'er heard Chen Hansheng's voice, but she still called out "Xiao Chen". However, her voice was filled with tears. She didn't want to say anything else, nor did she want to listen to Chen Hansheng's explanation.
Ten minutes passed like this. Little Yu'er's voice began to become hoarse. She sniffled and said, "Xiao Chen, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have accepted your QQ friend request when I was in my first year of high school."
After saying this, Little Yu'er hung up the phone.
Chen Hansheng was stunned. When he called her again, her phone was already turned off.
