She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 347, Year 347: Mainly afraid of being beaten.

Seeing Chen Shen wolfing down his food, Xu Suiyou stopped picking up food and rested her chin on her hand, gazing at him.

"What's wrong? It doesn't taste good?"

Tonight's dinner was just two ordinary rice bowls. Of course, Xu Suiyou got a little more than half a portion, while Chen Shen got a portion and a half.

"No." Xu Suiyou raised the corners of her mouth, her voice filled with laughter.

Chen Shen subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face, and then picked up his phone to check if there were any rice grains on his face in the reflection of the screen.

There wasn't a single grain of rice on it, so why is this person smiling so happily?

Or is it a matter of table manners?
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly so polite?"

"Does that mean you were very rude before?"

"No, it's just that you seem to be enjoying your food."

"Isn't that still rude!"

Xu Suiyou chuckled and couldn't help but reach out to pinch the handsome face of the man in front of her.

"Oh my~ Our Xiao Shen is now aware of his image."

Without thinking, Chen Shen slapped away the girl's hand that was reaching out, and leaned back to prevent Xu Suiyou's hand from pinching his face again.

"Can you speak?"

"What's wrong? I always took care of you when you were little! Now that you're grown up, you're turning your back on me!"

Xu Suiyou appeared dissatisfied, but inwardly she was secretly overjoyed.

Rebirth is truly wonderful. The mature her can now freely manipulate the still immature Chen Shen, having seen countless dark histories of this kid.

She has a whole stack of photos of herself with her bare bottom on them!
But boys' development is truly terrifying. They were such tiny little things when they were little, like a tiny pinky finger, how come now...?
As Chen Shen watched Xu Suiyou's expression change from anger to silly grin, then to bright red, and finally to the point of slapping her own face, a question mark slowly surfaced in his mind.

"Are you crazy?"

"Pah!" Xu Suiyou picked up the tomato and egg rice bowl in front of her and pushed it in front of Chen Shen.

"You're not going to eat anymore?"

"Hmm, let's save some room for a late-night snack~"

"You went swimming to lose weight, and now you're going to eat like crazy?"

"Can't you?"

"Okay, but do you still want to lose weight?"

Xu Suiyou pursed her lips. Is there no way to lose weight and still enjoy delicious food at the same time?

As someone who grew up with Sui Sui and is now in a romantic relationship, Chen Shen immediately sensed what this person was thinking.

He picked up the leftover rice bowls from Sui Sui and, while shoveling them into his own bowl, chuckled, "How about we get some more exercise tonight?"

"Exercise? Dream on!"

After finishing the leftovers from Sui Sui's meal, Chen Shen tidied up the lunchbox and trash, placing it near the front door. He planned to throw away the trash downstairs before going upstairs, leaving it by the door in case he forgot.

Sui Sui stayed here specifically to keep him company, so he naturally couldn't just finish eating, pack upstairs to do chores, and leave his girlfriend at home.

So before going up, Chen Shen would always spend some time watching TV and chatting with his girlfriend.

Reaching out, Chen Shen pulled the girl who had come closer into his arms. He familiarly placed his large hand on the girl's soft lower abdomen, lifted the hem of her shirt, and gently stroked it.

Xu Suiyou wasn't annoyed. She just lay lazily on Chen Shen's lap, her gaze fixed on the TV that was constantly playing variety shows.

"Have you gained weight?"

"No way."

"Sigh~ Swimming doesn't help either."

Chen Shen was speechless. How could losing weight be achieved by swimming once?

"Alright, stop worrying. If you're considered fat, how are other people supposed to live?"

"I only said I've gained weight, I didn't say I'm fat!"

Xu Suiyou cursed and slapped away Chen Shen's bad hand, then took the opportunity to pick it up and gently bite it.

Because she wasn't using much force, the girl's soft lips and sharp canine teeth tickled Chen Shen's palm, making him feel like a cat.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course!" Chen Shen thought for a moment and decided to drop the subject.

"Won't you get bored staying home all day during the holidays?"

"No way? If I go home, I'll most likely just stay home."

"Don't you want to go out?"

"What's there to play? There's nothing fun to do right now."

Chen Shen didn't quite understand what Sui Sui meant by "now," but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"It's more like you're not interested in anything."

"Well, if I had to say, it seems like there really isn't one!" Xu Suiyou thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Chen Shen was speechless. Why did this guy seem so proud?

"I feel like you need to find some hobbies for yourself. You can't just stay at home all the time from now on."

"Is that not okay? Can't you support me?"

Looking at the beautiful face on his lap, which was hard to describe in words, Chen Shen lowered his head and gently kissed the girl's forehead, smiling as he said, "Of course I'm willing."

"Then it's over."

"People need to socialize. If you didn't have many friends in high school, will you still be like this in college?"

"Feiyang, Xiaoyu, Zhang Yan, Liu Yujie, aren't these all friends?"

"But you only met these people through me."

"Who said that!"

"Isn't it?"

Xu Suiyou snorted coldly, no longer showing Chen Shen her pretty face, and turned over: "Anyway, it's not."

She knew Fei Yang much earlier than Chen Shen knew her.

I just can't tell Chen Shen.

"So who did you know before me? Qin Yu? Zhang Yan? Old Liu, you met me a day later than me."

Xu Suiyou didn't answer, but instead smacked Chen Shen's thigh hard with the back of her head.

"Hiss, I've noticed you're getting more and more violent."

"You're overthinking it. I was like that when I was a kid too."

"Damn, it's true. But didn't you stop fighting with me after the third year of junior high?"

Xu Suiyou remained silent; she couldn't very well say she was afraid Chen Shen would retaliate.

Girls develop earlier than boys, so she was about this height by middle school.

At that time, Chen Shen was a skinny, dark-skinned girl, and she felt no psychological pressure at all when she started fighting.

But after Chen Shen started puberty in high school, she no longer dared to lay a hand on him.

Back then, they weren't a couple; they were just childhood sweethearts who were closer than ordinary friends.

That's why Chen Shen really fought back when he got desperate.

She didn't want to be beaten.

"That's because I'm a nice person~"

"Does that mean you're not a good person right now?"

"Hey! I've noticed you're quite the chatterbox."

Chen Shen chuckled and muttered, "Maybe I was mute in my past life, that's why I'm so good at picking up on things in this life."

Xu Suiyou was stunned, then couldn't help but chuckle: "You're mute?"

"So what? Isn't it said that whatever you lacked in your past life, you'll have plenty of in this life?"

“You’re not mute at all. I’ve never seen anyone as talkative as you.”

Chen Shen scoffed, "You talk like you knew me in a past life."

Xu Suiyou gently squeezed Chen Shen's fingers without saying a word.
