Shu Shengyi acted quickly. Before noon, Song Xu was already standing at the door of Shu Shengyi’s double dormitory.

“Come in, Xu! I’ve packed everything.”

Shu Shengyi took Song Xu’s hand and led them into the room. The double dormitory was larger than the single room. Two single beds were placed against the wall, one on the left and one on the right, with a long wooden table in the middle. The large wardrobe was shared by the two of them, occupying half of the wall next to the door.

Song Xu followed Shu Shengyi in and looked at the two beds, both with the same light blue quilt, except that there was an extra big cat doll on the right bed. Two piles of professional books were neatly placed on the long table in the middle, and a few small and cute pots of succulents were placed in the middle of the long table.

Shu Shengyi pulled Song Xu to the table and let her sit down first, then he went around to the other side, opened the drawer, and took out boxes of snacks.

“A Xu, eat this. I prepared these specially for you. You will definitely like them. Come and try them.”

Song Xu was caught off guard by a bunch of snacks and was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shu Shengyi who had an expectant smile on his face. This once again confirmed that Shengsheng was a foodie.

“Shengsheng is so cute.”

“Ah? Is that so?”
Shu Shengyi blushed in embarrassment when Song Xu praised her unexpectedly. It was only when she was facing Song Xu that she always failed to control her expression. It turned out that in front of the person she loved, she could not help but blush.

While listening to the mechanical sound of the system reporting the progress of the task in his mind, Song Xu looked at Shu Shengyi with a smile and raised his hand to hold her hand.

“Shengsheng has changed a lot in the past three years, but it doesn’t matter. Now Shengsheng and I are roommates, and I will have time to understand all the changes in Shengsheng little by little. In the future, please take care of Shengsheng.”

Feeling the warmth of their skins, Shu Shengyi looked at the girl opposite with a smile on her face. The love in her eyes was so strong that she could hardly hide it. Resisting the urge to hold her hand tightly, she nodded seriously.

Time flies fast. Song Xu finished his one-month military training and started his university life. Shu Shengyi is already a senior. Except for picking up Song Xu on time every day, he spends the rest of his time in the dormitory staring at his notebook.

Song Xu occasionally took a look and saw that they were all various project documents.

Even though Shu Shengyi had no contact with Song Xu in the past three years, Song Xu had already known all her whereabouts through the system.

Shu Shengyi set up a small venture capital company in his sophomore year. Within two years, he made the company famous through his own efforts and expanded the business overseas.

After the college entrance examination, Song Xu stayed in Chuangyu for two months, and the documents he handled included a cooperation project with Shu Shengyi’s company.

So every time he saw the two letters “XY”, Song Xu would subconsciously want to laugh. With such an obvious meaning, only Shengsheng could figure it out.

By the time Shu Shengyi graduated from his senior year, Song Xu was a sophomore.

While Shu Shengyi was busy with the company’s projects, he bought a house in a community not far from University A. Song Xu directly applied for a day-study certificate, and the two lived together again.

Even though he was busy with work, Shu Sheng would pick up and drop off Song Xu from school on time every day, and even when he had to work overtime, he would bring his computer and stick to Song Xu.

Because of some little considerations, Shu Shengyi specifically chose this one-bedroom apartment when buying a house.

He calmly explained the various advantages and conveniences of the suite in front of Song Xu, trying to quietly conceal the arrangement of a large bed in the bedroom.

Song Xu didn’t mind Shu Shengyi’s little thoughts, but every time she saw Shu Shengyi achieve his goal and secretly rejoice, Song Xu felt a sense of satisfaction. So while she listened to the system’s report on the progress of the task, she would occasionally remind Shu Shengyi to study hard and not talk about feelings.

Shu Shengyi didn’t expect that the words he explained at that time would directly become the first obstacle in his love life. However, every time he met Song Xu’s deep eyes, Shu Shengyi could only suppress his love in his heart. At the same time, he stared at everyone who appeared around Song Xu.

Even though Song Xu has always been a loner in school, her reputation as an “ice beauty” alongside Shu Shengyi has attracted many people to come and see her beauty.

However, Song Xu was always punctual for class and left get out of class, and with Shu Shengyi’s all-round protection, no one was able to bypass Shu Shengyi and contact Song Xu during the entire freshman year.

Finally, Shu Shengyi graduated, and everyone thought that the opportunity had come. But unexpectedly, Song Xu directly applied for a day school, and Shu Shengyi still picked her up and dropped her off at school.

Many people’s hearts were broken before they could even begin to beat. Even so, Shu Sheng was still cautious of everyone around Song Xu.

Especially after Song Xu “inadvertently” revealed that he was not interested in boys and preferred girls, Shu Shengyi almost couldn’t help but confess his feelings directly.

But Song Xu’s words “I just want to study hard and not talk about love right now” made Shu Shengyi secretly sad for several days, and he could only put his emotional focus on work.

As a result, all employees of the now-large-scale “XY” company worked on the project for half a month. The performance bonuses of everyone that month increased several times.

In the summer before her junior year, Song Xu finally turned 18. Shu Shengyi went home with Song Xu during this summer vacation.

Qin Xueran prepared a table of delicious food and waited for the two to come back home.

Over the past decade, Qin Xueran has developed a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. However, her well-maintained skin and complexion still make her look elegant. Only when she smiles do the traces of time show up.

Song Xu pulled Shu Shengyi into the room. Qin Xueran, who came to greet them, had an eager smile on her face, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious.

“Mom, I’m back.”

Song Xu looked at Qin Xueran’s face, and his eyes felt a little sore.

If the mother in that world was still alive, would it be like this?

Qin Xueran smiled and hugged her precious daughter who had grown a lot taller, and patted her back gently.

Time flies so fast, it feels like more than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. Back then, she was just a small dumpling, but now she has grown into a beautiful and elegant girl.

Shu Shengyi stood by the door holding a gift, smiling as he watched Song Xu quickly run towards her mother’s arms. Meeting Qin Xueran’s gaze, Shu Shengyi nodded.

Qin Xueran also smiled at Shu Shengyi, who was dressed in formal attire. She patted Song Xu on the back and coaxed him softly, “Okay, my dear, you are still clingy at this age. Xiao Shu is watching you. Be careful that she will laugh at you.”

Song Xu rubbed Qin Xueran’s shoulder reluctantly before leaving her arms. Still holding her hand, he sniffed unhappily.

“Shengsheng won’t laugh at me, right?”

“Yes, how could I possibly laugh at Ah Xu? I’m so envious of him that I can’t even wait to see him.”

Shu Sheng also came over, looking at Song Xu with smiling eyes, who had rarely shown her coquettishness in a year, and the deep affection in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

Qin Xueran quickly noticed Shu Shengyi’s eyes, and her smile faded a little. But when she looked into Song Xu’s eyes, the same affection in them made her slightly stunned, but then she felt relieved.

Since the two children are in love, she will fully support them. No matter how many strange looks and cold words the world may have, as a mother, she has the ability to protect her children.

As long as the two children are well and happy, she will be relieved.

“Don’t be envious, Xiaoshu, come here, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, hug your mother too.”

“Aunt Qin…”

Shu Shengyi was stunned and stood there stiffly, not knowing what to do with his hands and feet.

Song Xu also looked at Qin Xueran in confusion. “Mom?”

Qin Xueran patted Song Xu’s hand and then let go, revealing an “I understand” smile, and walked to Shu Shengyi and gently hugged the girl who had been tall and thin since childhood.

“From now on, call me mom with Xiaoxu, we are a family now.”

“it is good.”
Shu Shengyi nodded subconsciously, then cast a blank and helpless look at Song Xu. His confused expression successfully made Song Xu laugh.

“I gave my mother to Shengsheng. Isn’t Shengsheng happy?”

“No, I’m very happy, I’m really happy!”

Shu Sheng was happy and excited when she realized what was happening. If she hadn’t been holding the gifts in both hands, she would have almost danced.
Shu Sheng was held obediently in his mother’s arms, and he also gave Song Xu a bright smile.

Aunt Qin is her mother now, that’s great.
