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

Chapter 350 Isn't getting beaten up a daily occurrence?
Men can't always back down. A bottom line is like underwear; once you give in a few times, it's hard to raise it again.

Therefore, faced with his own dark history and his own bottom line, Chen Shen resolutely chose the bottom line.

Let people laugh at us; it's better than losing control of this person later.

Seeing that Chen Shen wouldn't budge, Xu Suiyou was also very annoyed. Of course, she wouldn't really reveal all of her boyfriend's dark history, but seeing Chen Shen's insistent attitude, she was really angry.

“He wasn’t as steady as he is now when he was a kid; he was a real troublemaker.”

Chen Shen's lips twitched, and he silently cast a frustrated glance at the girl.

Xu Suiyou ignored him and smiled broadly: "He even begged his uncles and aunts to enroll him in street dance classes when he was in elementary school."

"Holy crap!" Chen Shen exclaimed hastily, not expecting Xu Suiyou to bring this up.

But along with his voice came Liu Yujie's excited voice.

"Holy crap, Chen, is this for real?"

Not only Liu Yujie, but Zheng Feiyang and Qin Yu also looked at them with surprise.

Chen Shen nodded helplessly; there was no point in hiding it.

"There was a street dance class when I was in elementary school."

"Fourth grade," Xu Suiyou added.

Chen Shen gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Can you still do it now?"

"I only studied it for less than a semester, how could I possibly remember it all!"

Xu Suiyou did not deny Chen Shen's self-explanation, but she continued to add to it.

"To be precise, I took eight lessons."

"How come I remember there were twelve classes?" Chen Shen was taken aback.

"There are twelve classes in total, but didn't you skip four of them to go to an internet cafe?"

"Ah!" Chen Shen was speechless. He didn't even remember this matter that clearly, yet Xu Suiyou knew it like the back of her hand!
The others nearby burst into laughter at the answer.

"You really love surfing the internet."

Chen Shen smiled and said, "Yeah, I remember I was always researching how to play QQ Fantasy back then."

"Huh? What game is this?"

"There were two games from Fujiko F.C., one called QQ Fantasy and the other called QQ Fantasy Online, but I think it required a qualification or something, so I could never get in."

Chen Shen still has a deep impression of this incident. It's simple: he was caught red-handed by his mother when he skipped class one of the times.

The fear of suddenly being slapped and turning around to see your mother is hard to describe in words.

"Was it studied further after that?"

"No, I was playing Water Margin Q later, and then my mom arrested me on the spot."

"You've played quite a few games, haven't you? What game is this?"

"Like a fantasy."

"Then why don't you play Fantasy Westward Journey?" We're all the same age, so we've naturally heard of the famous game.

"I needed money. Back then, I only had two or three yuan of pocket money a day. After my family bought a computer, I didn't even have that few yuan left. Where could I buy game cards?"

When Chen Shen talks about his pocket money, he has a lot of bitter tears to shed.

After Sui Sui's family bought a computer, he could indeed go over and play it often, but his playtime was constantly controlled by his family.

Go to an internet cafe for half an hour for two yuan an hour. At least no one cares, and you can log off when it's time.

But at Sui Sui's house.
"Did you get beaten after your aunt caught you?" "I don't remember clearly, I think I was beaten, was I?" Chen Shen turned to ask Xu Suiyou, a gesture that left the others listening to the story speechless.

How can someone not know whether they've been beaten or not?

Xu Suiyou gave an affirmative answer.

“That was terrible. You ran to my house crying and hid behind my dad, but he grabbed you and kicked you a few times.”

"Damn, I don't remember this at all." Chen Shen did remember that Uncle Xu had beaten him up, but he really didn't remember this incident.

Liu Yujie muttered under his breath, "I'm afraid this beating was so severe that it triggered the body's protective mechanism."

"That's nothing. The worst time was when you stole your grandma's money to buy a walkie-talkie."

"Whoa!!!" x3
This gossip sounds interesting.

Chen Shen felt a chill run down his spine.

See, this is the inconvenience of having a childhood sweetheart you know inside and out.

"How miserable?"

"Well, let me put it this way, Chen Shen's family used to have one of those three-legged iron stools. The time Uncle Chen used the stool to beat Chen Shen, one of the stool legs broke."

"Holy crap!" X3
"Holy crap?" Chen Shen was shocked himself. Was he really that resilient when he was a kid?
"It's not that scary. They're all old stools, and the kind with hollow iron legs that can break if you bend them hard."

Xu Suiyou waved her hand. Chen Shen was really in a bad situation that time. She felt sorry for him because he cried so much. She was the one who went up to protect him afterwards. Otherwise, she was really afraid that Uncle Chen would beat Chen Shen badly.

But to be honest, Chen Shen deserved this beating.

Although he stole money from his family, stealing is stealing. If he doesn't get a good beating to teach him a lesson, what if Chen Shen goes astray in the future?
Ah! We were so lucky to have you with us that time.

"Hmph, you deserve a good beating! How dare you steal!"

Chen Shen chuckled. He understood this principle, so no matter how many beatings he received from his parents, he never harbored any resentment towards them.

He knows better than anyone who loves him the most, and hitting him is just a way of expressing his disappointment in him.

"Was Sui Sui ever beaten when she was little?"

Chen Shen had too many stories of being beaten up, which was rather boring to listen to, so Zheng Feiyang simply turned to ask Xu Suiyou, who was seen as a well-behaved child by everyone.

However, since everyone knows that Xu Suiyou is a well-behaved child, there is naturally no past where she was beaten.

"No."

"How could she possibly get beaten up? This person is what you call 'someone else's child'," Chen Shen said with a pout, sounding annoyed.

Xu Suiyou smiled sweetly and then turned to ask the others.

"what about you?"

"I didn't." Zheng Feiyang shook her head. She was basically the most pampered person at home. Her grandparents and maternal grandparents all doted on her so much that her parents would have to think twice before they dared to lay a hand on her.

"No, not at all! There was one time." Qin Yu originally wanted to shake her head and say no, but after thinking about it carefully, she remembered that she had been slapped in her senior year of high school, and then she ran away from home and was temporarily taken in by Chen Shen and Sui Sui.

"You've actually been beaten?" This question stunned Zheng Feiyang and Liu Yujie.

Qin Yu was a little embarrassed, but she nodded and frankly recounted what had happened that time.

After hearing the story, Zheng Feiyang put his arm around Qin Yu's shoulder with heartache and raised an eyebrow at Chen Shen: "Won't this give our Xiao Yu a raise?"

Chen Shen understood Zheng Feiyang's meaning, and he waved his hand: "Increase by 200!"

Qin Yu waved her hand repeatedly. She had always felt that being friends with Chen Shen would give her far more than Chen Shen would.

She only tutored Chen Shen in his studies, but Chen Shen genuinely taught her how to get along with people and how to integrate into the class.
How could she possibly take that money?
