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

Chapter 351 It was quite remarkable that someone could recognize all their relatives when they were little.

"Are there any sweet stories about the two of you? I don't want to hear about Mr. Chen's pitiful childhood experiences, as that would ruin my image of him as a wise and capable leader."

If Zheng Feiyang hadn't been forcibly suppressing a laugh when he said that, Chen Shen would definitely have given him a thumbs up, but unfortunately, his tone made it hard to believe.

Of course, only Chen Shen was speechless; everyone else was still laughing happily.

Having known each other for so long, everyone knows that Chen Shen is someone who can take a lot of teasing, which is why everyone dares to joke about him so freely.

Xu Suiyou glanced at Chen Shen, pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then turned to Zheng Feiyang: "An ice pop!"

“No way, don’t torture yourself. I’m on Chen Shen’s side in this.” Zheng Feiyang shook his head with a smile.

Xu Suiyou looked at Qin Yu again, unwilling to give up.

Qin Yu nodded in agreement, leaning on Zheng Feiyang's shoulder: "I also support Chen Shen."

There was nothing she could do, so Xu Suiyou could only sigh helplessly, which left Liu Yujie, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.

"No, aren't you going to ask me?"

"Your words have no effect."

"You should at least ask!"

"Hahaha~"

Seeing that she was definitely not going to get an ice pop, Xu Suiyou simply stopped making a fuss and instead reached out and gently tossed Chen Shen's large hand: "There's nothing special between us when we were kids, we're just close childhood friends."

The term "childhood sweetheart" is actually quite rare. In their area, people usually refer to her relationship with Chen Shen as "childhood friends."

Although it may not sound as romantic as "childhood sweethearts," it feels closer than "childhood sweethearts."

"Was Sui Sui always this beautiful since she was little?"

Chen Shen nodded as Sui Sui played with his large hand: "That's true. She's been popular in our area since she was little. She greets everyone sweetly and knows everyone since she was a child."

What gave Chen Shen the biggest headache when he was a child was his relatives. Close relatives were fine, but you have to understand that his grandfather's generation had 10 brothers, and he had a whole bunch of grandfathers.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle were his own grandfathers, and there were also the third uncle, the fourth uncle, all the way up to the ninth uncle, the master.

Ah, "lao" means "youngest" in the Tianjin dialect, generally referring to the youngest among one's peers.

These elders all lived in the same village. When they lived in single-story houses, they would see each other every few days. But Chen Shen was only in elementary school at that time, so he couldn't tell these elders apart at all, let alone know how to properly address them.

What drove Chen Shen to the brink of despair was that these unruly adults particularly liked to ask him questions.

Did they call me?

What should I call you?

"No, think again?"

Every time Chen Shen was asked these questions, he would become speechless and could only mutter "Grandpa" in silence, while watching the adults laugh uproariously.

Um.
This is only at my grandfather's house.

There are still a lot of elders at my maternal grandparents' house.

But Sui Sui is different. Not to mention Sui Sui's own family, even his relatives, every time Xu Sui You comes to see him, she will greet each elder with a lovely smile and use her sweet voice to address them correctly.

That scene had a tremendous impact on Chen Shen, who was only about ten years old at the time, so much so that for a long time he thought Xu Suiyou was incredibly awesome.

No, to be more precise, even now, he still thinks this person is exceptionally amazing in this regard.

"Hey, have you ever had relatives you didn't know how to address when you were little?"

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. This wasn't just Chen Shen's childhood, but everyone's childhood.

Everyone has encountered a few adults who liked to tease children when they were young.

"This person has been able to correctly address all relatives, whether they have met them or not, since they were a child."

"???"

Stared at with disbelief, Xu Suiyou smirked, momentarily at a loss for words. In truth, she had no talent for this at all; her ability to recognize all her relatives was mainly due to the fact that she had known them for over 20 years!
In her past life, her childhood was even more miserable than Chen Shen's. Many times, it was Chen Shen who reminded her how to address so-and-so.
In this life, she simply switched the relationships.

In other words, she actually wanted to ask Chen Shen this question, especially the Chen Shen from her previous life who could recognize all her relatives!
However, she obviously couldn't ask that question now, so she just gave evasive answers.

"Anyway, I've memorized it."

Don't you have many relatives?

“Yes, there are many relatives in both my family and hers.”

Qin Yu's next words stunned both of them.

"Won't the toasting part at your wedding be exhausting?"

The studio fell silent instantly, followed by everyone's barely suppressed laughter.

As for the two parties involved, Chen Shen and Xu Suiyou exchanged a panicked look.

Damn, Qin Yu was absolutely right.

Given the number of relatives in their two families, if they were to hold a wedding in the future, they would probably need at least 50 tables just for the banquet.

"How about we just not do it?"

“How can that be? If you two don’t have a wedding, how will your parents get back all the money they’ve given out as wedding gifts over the years?” Zheng Feiyang was the first to object.

Chen Shen scratched his chin. In truth, given his current net worth, he really wouldn't be interested in such a paltry sum.

But given my mother's frugal and thrifty nature, she definitely wouldn't agree.

"Hey! We're still a long way from that day, why are we thinking about that now?"

"Early? Didn't you two plan to get married after graduating from university?" Liu Yujie quietly added.

Chen Shen glared at the other person, but when he turned around, he found Xu Suiyou staring at him with a melancholy look.

"What do you mean? You don't want to marry me?"

Chen Shen immediately broke out in a sweat.

"What nonsense! Three years is still a long time."

"Is it long? You've been out of high school for a year already."

Chen Shen was taken aback, and murmured, "A year?"

"Yes, you were already working for Coco around this time last year, have you forgotten?"

Chen Shen casually picked up his phone and glanced at the date displayed on the screen, a somewhat enlightened smile appearing on his face.

"It's been a year already."

He didn't really feel much of a sense of reality.

High school life seems like it was just yesterday, but only now does he realize that he has been away from school for a year.

"Was your high school really that good? That you have such fond memories of it?"

Compared to Chen Shen, Liu Yujie doesn't really understand this kind of feeling.

His high school wasn't particularly competitive academically; it was a relatively relaxed school. However, he didn't have many close friends, and after going to university, he gradually lost contact with them, unlike the deep friendships he formed with Chen Shen and Qiao Peng.

Therefore, he completely failed to understand this feeling.

Chen Shen nodded slightly and grinned.

"You'll understand after you've been in a few more fights."
