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

I don't know what's going on during this period of time, I always feel nauseous no matter what.

Shen Xingchen suddenly froze, Shen Li looked down at her and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

After taking a short break, Shen Xingchen quickly returned to normal. She said, "It's okay. Maybe I ate too much today."

Maybe he’s a little tired from working during this period. Xiao Zhao even took a sick leave the day before yesterday.

Being a doctor is hard.

After saying that, she continued to bury her face in Shen Li's arms, leaning quietly in his arms.

16 years, they have known each other for 16 years, and he has taken care of her for 16 years.

Back then, she was only 6 years old when she came to the Shen family, and he was 20 years old, which was just the right age. In the past 16 years, apart from work, he has devoted all his time and energy to her.

16 years!

Shen Xingchen felt that she could never repay Shen Li for all he had done for her, and that it was never enough.

So she tightened her arms and hugged him tighter.

Looking down at Shen Xingchen, seeing her hugging him like this, he smiled and rubbed her hair: "Go to sleep."

"Yes." Shen Xingchen agreed and opened her arms, asking Shen Li to hug her.

As she acted coquettishly, Shen Li picked her up and put her on the bed.

Shen Xingchen was particularly clingy that night.

The two of them did not get intimate. She just kept hugging Shen Li, nestling in his arms, not letting go of his hand for once.

Seeing that she was clingy, Shen Li also pampered and spoiled her.

He has been like this for the past 16 years.

That night, Shen Xingchen and Shen Li talked a lot about the past. She missed that time very much, but she also cherished the present.

It was almost midnight when Shen Li saw Shen Xingchen still talking about her childhood. He looked down at her and reminded her, "Doctor Shen, it's already midnight. You should go to bed."

After Shen Li finished speaking, Shen Xingchen said "hmm" and then snuggled into his arms again.

Shen Li put his arm around her shoulders and was amused by her coquettishness and clinginess.

He patted Shen Xingchen's back gently and coaxed her in. He also recalled many things in the past, remembering how she was always cautious when she first came to the Shen family.

He kissed Shen Xingchen's forehead. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up so much, she was already 22 years old.

Looking at Shen Xingchen nestled in his arms, Shen Li felt more and more that time passed quickly. Only then did he realize that he was not that young anymore.

-

The next morning, after Shen Xingchen woke up, Shen Li also woke up.

Although he was on vacation during this period and did not go to work, he still got up early and sent Shen Xingchen to the hospital.

In the evening, when Shen Xingchen got off work, Shen Li picked her up outside the hospital.

He lives a very comfortable life without going to work.

"Uncle." After opening the passenger door and getting in the car, Shen Xingchen called out "Uncle" with a smile on his face.

"Yeah." Shen Li turned sideways to help her fasten her seat belt, and Shen Xingchen playfully kissed him on the face and asked, "Are we going back to the old house today?"

"Yeah." Shen Li responded to her while gently stroking her face with his hand.

Although he spoke very little and his words were very brief each time, Shen Li's behavior was still gentle and delicate.

After a while, the car started.

Shen Li was driving while looking at the road ahead, while Shen Xingchen was looking at him with an infatuated look on his face.

After being stared at by someone many times, Shen Li has now become accustomed to it.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in the yard. After Shen Li got out of the car, he habitually held Shen Xingchen's hand.

After counting on my fingers, I realized that the two of them had not returned for a full half month.

Holding hands with Shen Li, Shen Xingchen turned to look at Shen Li and asked, "Grandpa shouldn't be angry anymore, and shouldn't scold you anymore, right?"

Every time it was Shen Li who got scolded, and Shen Xingchen felt embarrassed.

"fine."

Whether the old man was angry or scolded him, Shen Li didn't care. He felt it was not a big deal.

Old man, just don't make yourself sick.

moment.

When the two entered the house, Mrs. Shen was coming down from the second floor. Seeing Shen Li and Shen Xingchen coming back, Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "Xingchen, you're back. I was just about to call you to ask if you've finished get off work."

"Come quickly, come here and let your aunt see if you have lost weight in the past half month."

Having said this, Mrs. Shen came over and grabbed Shen Xingchen's arm, then looked her up and down to check if she had lost any weight in the past half month.

However, compared with her enthusiasm for Shen Xingchen, Shen Li seemed like a transparent person. She had no sense of existence here at all. Not to mention caring about Shen Li, she was too lazy to even look at him twice.

After hearing Mrs. Shen's words and her scrutiny, Shen Xingchen smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm not thin. My uncle cooks a lot of delicious meals every day, and I've gained two pounds."

When Shen Xingchen mentioned Shen Li, Mrs. Shen's eyes turned to Shen Li, as if she just realized that he was back.

She said, "You seem to be so cool outside, but you've been pissing your grandfather off lately."

He hasn't come back for half a month and hasn't been to the company for half a month. The old man is really angry with him and is almost depressed.

After talking about Shen Li, Madam Shen looked at Shen Xingchen and said, "It is right for your uncle to take care of you, and it is also right for him to cook for you."

But she knew very well in her heart that Shen Li would only treat her like this because of Xingchen.

He couldn't do it with any other woman.

Even as his biological mother, he never seemed to care about it.

Holding Shen Xingchen, she thought that the little girl would become her daughter-in-law in the future. Mrs. Shen was lucky that she adopted her back then.

This child is a poor person. Perhaps being with Shen Li is the life she wants most.

"Aunt, where are my great-grandfather and great-grandmother?" After chatting with Mrs. Shen for a while, Shen Xingchen asked about the old man and the old lady.

Mrs. Shen listened to her question, turned around and looked at the backyard and said, "It's in the backyard."

Shen Xingchen: "I'll go over and help great grandfather and great grandmother over."

Mrs. Shen: "Okay, go over and take a look first."

Shen Xingchen nodded in agreement, and then went to the backyard with a happy face.

At the other end of the living room, Mrs. Shen was educating Shen Li, telling him not to be so tough in the future, saying that the old man was old.

Shen Li said nothing.

At the same time, as soon as Shen Xingchen entered the backyard, he saw the old man coming out of the room carrying a birdcage.

Seeing the old man coming out, Shen Xingchen smiled instantly and called out happily, "Great Grandpa."

When Shen Xingchen's voice came over, the old man looked up and said, "Xingchen girl is back."

"Yes, great grandfather." Shen Xingchen went over and supported the old man.

The old man was happy to see Shen Xingchen's obedience, and he felt empty and boring because she had been away from home for half a month.

When Shen Xingchen first came to the Shen family, the old man and the old lady liked him very much.

After helping the old man to the grape trellis, Shen Xingchen helped him hang up the bird cage. The old man leaned on his crutches and looked at her seriously, asking, "Xingchen, do you really like Shen Li?"
