Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu will come back and spend the night tonight.

As soon as Zhou Bei finished speaking, Shen Xingchen quickly replaced the juice in his hand with white wine and stood up from the chair.

Everyone was amused by Shen Xingchen's reaction.

"Xingchen, your formation is pretty good, it's quite intimidating!"

"Xingchen, I asked you to toast with your uncle, not to drink."

"It's okay. You're an adult now, and you've finished your exams. You can try drinking a little. I'm just letting everyone test your alcohol tolerance so that you don't get drunk outside in the future."

Amid the noise of the crowd, Shen Xingchen held the wine in his hand and looked up at Shen Li and said, "Uncle, I toast you."

Originally, Shen Xingchen wanted to say something to Shen Li, but when she was holding the wine glass, she realized that Shen Li's care for her over the years and her gratitude to Shen Li were not something that could be expressed in a few words.

It can't be summed up with just a thank you.

So, she didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Li and said seriously that she would toast him.

The little girl looked so serious that Shen Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Standing up from the chair slowly, Shen Li reached out and took Shen Xingchen's glass and said, "Everyone is just teasing you, you really took the wine glass."

As a result, he tried a little harder but still couldn't take the wine glass from Shen Xingchen's hand.

He looked down at the little girl, who looked at him seriously and said, "Uncle, I'm fine. It's okay for me to drink a little."

Then he looked at Shen Li seriously and said, "Uncle, I respect you."

This time, without waiting for Shen Li to speak, Shen Xingchen raised his head and drank the half glass of white wine in one gulp.

Everyone was stunned by Shen Xingchen's straightforwardness, and Shen Li was even more dumbfounded.

This child, what is she doing?

At the side, Gu Nanyue hurriedly poured her some water despite her big belly: "Silly girl, you have never drunk alcohol before, but you drank so much. Your stomach is going to collapse! Hurry up and drink some water first."

With his hands pressed on his chest, Shen Xingchen felt a burning sensation in his chest.

She felt so uncomfortable that she almost suffocated.

Drinking is too uncomfortable.

It's so painful, why do they like to drink? I don't understand.

Gu Nanyan handed over the water, and Shen Li suddenly came back to his senses. He took the water, supported Shen Xingchen and said, "Are you stupid? Who told you to drink?"

"Xingchen, we were just teasing you, don't take it so seriously next time."

Pressing his chest, Shen Xingchen could hear everyone talking, but his chest felt blocked and uncomfortable, and he couldn't speak for a while.

It was not until a long while later, after Shen Xingchen took the hot soup handed to him by Shen Li and drank a sip of it, that his energy gradually eased.

However, when he looked up at Shen Li, his eyes were a little blurry.

The uncle in front of him is not just one uncle, he has become several uncles. The same goes for Aunt Nanyan and Uncle Beicheng, they also have several uncles.

Holding the back of the chair with one hand and waving at Shen Li with the other, Shen Xingchen stammered, "It's okay, I'm fine, uncle."

He said he was fine, but he staggered and fell into the chair.

"Stars."

"Stars."

Then, she vaguely heard people calling her name.

After that, I couldn't hear anything.

On the side, Shen Li saw Shen Xingchen lying on the table like this, he was immediately frightened, without saying a word, he picked up Shen Xingchen from the chair horizontally.

Then, he was sent to the hospital.

When he was holding Shen Xingchen and taking the elevator downstairs, he could still hear Shen Xingchen still murmuring, "Uncle, uncle."

After a while, Shen Xingchen was sent to the hospital. After a check-up, the doctor said that he was drunk and just needed to rest for a night.

Shen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the doctor say that he was fine and was just drunk.

Shen Xingchen had just finished the college entrance examination, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

Even though the doctor said that everything was fine, for safety reasons, Shen Li still had Shen Xingchen admitted to the hospital and had her stay there.

In the ward.

Shen Xingchen was not as quiet as usual when lying on the bed. He kept rolling around for no reason and murmuring "uncle" from time to time.

Later, Gu Nanyue, Lu Beicheng and others came over, Zhou Bei and Lu Jingyang also came. Shen Li said it was okay and that he was just drunk, so everyone went back with peace of mind.

So, Shen Li and Shen Xingchen were the only ones left in the ward.

Shen Xingchen was sleeping on the bed, and Shen Li was sitting next to her.

"uncle."

"uncle."

When Shen Xingchen called Shen Li again, Shen Li raised her hand and stroked her forehead, then said distressedly: "Are you stupid? Who told you to drink?"

Shen Li was well aware of Shen Xingchen's gratitude towards the Shen family.

However, the Shen family does not need her gratitude or her return. They have been a family for a long time, and as long as she is happy, that's enough.

Lifting the hair from Shen Xingchen's forehead to her head, Shen Li was about to take his hand back when he saw Shen Xingchen whispering, "Uncle, I like you."

Shen Li was stunned at first, then he looked at Shen Xingchen lying on the hospital bed, and his right hand, which was touching her forehead, paused.

It took Shen Li a long time to come to his senses, and he thought he was hallucinating.

However, just looking at Shen Xingchen motionlessly, Shen Xingchen murmured again: "Shen Li, I like you."

Shen Li heard Shen Xingchen's whisper very clearly this time.

In an instant, Shen Li's expression changed, and he took back his hand that was on her forehead without making a sound.

When looking at Shen Xingchen, his expression became serious and his face turned visibly pale.

At the beginning, Shen Li was not willing to think about it in an emotional way, thinking that the love the little girl talked about was definitely not the love between men and women. But thinking carefully about the whole journey, thinking about the way she looked at him tonight, Shen Li felt more and more that something was wrong.

At the dinner table in the evening, I felt that she looked at me more and her eyes were bolder than usual.

At this moment, Shen Li never thought that the little girl would actually have such feelings for him.

Shen Li retracted his right hand and gradually clenched it into a fist, feeling complicated.

He had never thought about such things, never thought about the stars.

Looking at Shen Xingchen like this, Shen Li didn't sleep the whole night and thought a lot.

Xingchen is still too young, and no one has ever appeared in her life. Her world has not been opened up at all, and she is just limited by herself.

When she goes to college and meets more people, including some outstanding boys, she will not have such thoughts and will not have such feelings for him.

I am 14 years older than Shen Xingchen. Although I don't treat her as my daughter, I have always treated her as my younger sister.

When she came to the Shen family, she was only 6 years old.

Thinking that Shen Xingchen was going to college soon, and that she would meet new people and have a new life, Shen Li felt a little relieved.

What he needs to do now is to make Shen Xingchen live a more fulfilling life during the two months of summer vacation, so that she won't think too much and stop saying these things to him when she is sober.

He didn't want the situation between the two of them to become awkward or embarrassing.

"uncle."

"uncle."

On the hospital bed, Shen Xingchen was still murmuring to Shen Li and calling him uncle.

In her world, apart from studying and her aunt and uncle, Shen Li is everything to her, his world.
