Chapter 1521: Beautiful, Turning into Memories 1

"No need, this is a gift for you." Zirui did not take it.

"That won't do. I cannot accept a reward without merit; I cannot take your things for nothing."

"This isn't anything valuable, can't you just accept it?"

"Of course not. If you act like this, I won't want it, and even if you force me to keep it, I won't wear it!" Qi Shishi insisted, and Zirui had no choice but to take it back.

Zirui would run out as soon as noon arrived, and eventually, Shi Youxuan discovered it.

She did not ask Zirui directly, but instead asked Zihan: "Do you know what Zirui goes out to do every day?"

"He went to the Library."

Zihan lied without blinking, saying it as easily as breathing.

"The Library?"

Shi Youxuan was clearly not that easy to fool.

She asked Zihan: "Do you go to the Library with him too?"

Zihan said: "How could that be? You know me, I would never go to a place like the Library..."

"I'm about to start Teacher Tian's class, and the next three years will be like being in Prison. I want to have a good time during the break and leave behind beautiful memories for the future."

Zihan's words were impeccable, so Shi Youxuan didn't say anything more and let him go.

But she called for a bodyguard to quietly follow Zihan.

The reason she followed Zihan instead of Zirui was because Zihan was thick-skinned and not easily discovered.

Soon the bodyguard reported back, saying that Zihan had gone to the Brick Factory near the orphanage, and Zirui was indeed there, along with Qi Shishi!

Zirui and Qi Shishi were moving bricks together, while Zihan had gone to deliver a message for them.

Moving bricks?

The son she had carefully raised from childhood was going to move bricks?

It really was related to that girl again; Shi Youxuan was furious.

The next day, Zirui wanted to go out again, but was blocked at the front gate by his mother: "Where are you going?"

"To the Library."

The brothers had already coordinated their stories to ensure there would be no mistakes.

"Oh, the books at the Library must be quite heavy, your hands have even developed calluses," Shi Youxuan said with a pointed meaning.

"The calluses on my hands are from playing basketball."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Mom, do you have anything else? If not, I'm leaving."

"Fine, go ahead."

Zirui went out and discovered his mother following behind him, tracking him quite openly.

"Why are you following me?" His expression was somewhat unnatural.

"The two little ones were taken away by your aunt, and I have nothing to do today, so I'll just go to the Library with you to take a look."

Zirui stopped in his tracks: "You want to go to the Library?"

"That's right, is there a problem?"

"No problem."

Zirui bit the bullet and kept walking, but his mother called him to a halt: "You're going the wrong way, aren't you? Don't you know the Library moved?"

"When did it move?" he blurted out.

He truly didn't know; he hadn't heard of it.

The last time he went to the Library was three months ago.

"You go every day, and you're asking me?"

Zirui's lie was exposed, so he told the truth: "Mom, I haven't been going to the Library every day. I lied. I was going to find Qi Shishi."

"Go home."

The mother and son returned home, Shi Youxuan sat on the sofa, and Zirui stood before her.

"You know the reason why I dismissed Qi Shishi, don't you? You even argued with me about this last time. I'm sure you haven't forgotten what I said back then."

Zirui said: "I haven't forgotten, but I believe I have the right to make friends normally, and I don't need to tell you about everything."

"Your wings have hardened, haven't they?"

"No, but I'm not a child anymore. I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and the right to decide what kind of friends I make."

"You can be friends with anyone, just not her."

Zirui still argued: "You don't understand her. Qi Shishi is a good girl."

Shi Youxuan was very angry: "People like them are all good when they are down on their luck, but once they become wealthy, they change immediately. How many things have you seen? Mom wouldn't harm you."

Shi Youxuan hated preaching the most, but now she had no choice but to preach.

"Others are others, she is she. You can't lump them all together; you can't condemn a whole group with one stroke."

"Have you lost your mind?"

"No, I am arguing based on reason. It is you who are too rigid, always using old perspectives to look at new problems."

Zirui never talked back to his mother and was the most worry-free child in the Sheng Family, but when the most worry-free child started talking back, it was even more of a headache.

The mother and son parted on bad terms.

Zirui was placed under house arrest in his room and was not allowed to go anywhere.

He wasn't even allowed to eat dinner.

That night, Sheng Hanyu returned to the bedroom, did not go to take a shower immediately, and sat down in front of his wife: "Let's talk."

"Who do you think is right between the two of us?"

"I think you are both right."

Shi Youxuan:...

She was dissatisfied: "Am I asking you to be a pushover and smooth things over? What do you mean both are right? He is young and doesn't know any better, but are you, at your age, also not knowing any better? Don't you know what kind of consequences this matter will cause?"

Her husband was clearly trying to plead for their son.

Sheng Hanyu said: "I know all of that, but think about it, when you were Zirui's age, if someone made you do something you didn't want to do, what would you think?"

Shi Youxuan retorted irritably: "At that time, I was a fool and didn't think about anything."

Sheng Hanyu:...

That's right, he had forgotten about that.

But he quickly found a way to deal with his wife: "No way, even if you were a fool back then, you didn't listen to others for everything, didn't you also pay lip service while secretly resisting?"

"How come you are used to the dark, but can't adapt to the open?"

Shi Youxuan calmed down and thought about it, and it really was the case.

Her husband continued to persuade her, saying that the child is in puberty, it's normal to be rebellious and disobedient, don't be angry, anger hurts the body...

Shi Ran was not at home during her puberty, so she didn't know what it was like.

When Zichen was in puberty, he was completely unmanageable!

Zihan... seems to be in puberty forever.

He is always looking for attention in front of adults, causing all sorts of little problems, nothing major.

But children who are easy to worry about don't have problems easily, but when they do, it's enough to give you a headache for a long time!

Shi Ran and Zirui, she gets a headache just thinking about these two children; it seems that those who are "easy to worry about" can't be easy forever, it's just on the surface.

"You have a way to manage Zirui, right? He spends a lot of time with you, you manage this child." Shi Youxuan pushed the difficult problem onto her husband.

Her husband said: "That's easy to handle, Zirui is about to start high school, and he will live on campus in high school, so naturally they won't have time to be together and will slowly stop contacting each other."

"You say it lightly, starting high school, he hasn't left Jiangzhou, doesn't he still have a day off?"

"When the time comes, they can still see each other if they want to."

Sheng Hanyu added: "Then let Qi Shishi study abroad, go to A Country, it's also good for her future, we will pay for the study abroad expenses, we don't owe her anything, doing this is also for her own good, how could she not be willing?"

Ginger is still spicier when it's old; an old fox is just different.
