Deterioration (3)
Speaking of which, Shen Youbai had never been to this house on the outskirts of the city.
The man in suit closed the curtains and covered the thick darkness outside, leaving the living room brightly lit.
The man turned around, and Shen Wensong waved at him.
Along with the two men behind the sofa, they all walked out of the living room.
Shen Youbai’s gaze followed their departing figures, then returned to the person sitting opposite him on the sofa. He raised his eyebrows, “Are you the boss of the underworld?”
Shen Wensong lifted the teapot from the table, slowly pouring tea into his cup, and responded, “You’ve watched too many movies.”
Shen Youbai smiled, “I was mocking you.”
An hour ago, a black car passing by suddenly stopped.
The men inside quickly pulled Shen Youbai into the back seat without a word.
The grandfather clock stood on the floor, and the pendulum swayed heavily inside its glass case.
Shen Youbai took out a cigarette from his pocket, shook it, and remembered to ask his father with a questioning look.
Shen Wensong looked at him, “To cut a long story short, the current situation is complicated, and I know you understand.”
Since he didn’t object, Shen Youbai bit the cigarette, lowered his eyes, and lit the lighter with a snap.
Shen Wensong’s brows gradually furrowed, “And my stance is very simple. At present, I don’t agree with you wanting to be with Xu Pinyu.”
Shen Youbai leaned forward, elbows propped up on his knees, and exhaled a puff of smoke.
When the smoke of gray dissipated, he looked up at Shen Wensang and said in a sharp tone, “What does your boring grudges and hatred have to do with us?”
He shook his head, “She’s not your daughter. Let her go.”
After a half a second of silence, Shen Wensong suddenly chuckled and looked up at him, “You’re the one who refuses to let her go, Shen Youbai.”
Shen Wensong’s words dripped with sarcasm as he mercilessly stated, “You know very well what your surname is and what kind of family you were born into. You can’t escape from it in this lifetime. In the future, you will have to accept a marriage that benefits the Shen family.”
Then he smiled, “Then what? Make her your mistress?”
Shen Youbai’s hand froze, and cigarette ash fell onto the carpet.
Shen Wensong shook his head and asked mockingly, “What qualifications do you have to ruin her life?”
Shen Youbai looked at him sharply.
However, Shen Wensong reheated the water in the teapot without care and said in a leisurely manner, “There are two choices before you. One, if you insist on continuing with her, your grandfather will definitely find out about this. I believe he won’t have a calm conversation with you like I did.”
Pausing for a moment, Shen Wensong stared at him and said in a cold tone, “Two, follow the plan I’ve set for you. Cut off contact with Xu Pinyu, go abroad to complete your studies, and after returning to the country, enter the Shen family business. As for your future spouse, I won’t interfere.”
Without waiting for Shen Youbai’s answer, he stood up from the sofa.
At this time, he was in an elevated position, and Shen Wensong’s tone softened slightly, “This is my biggest concession. I don’t think you need to think about it, but I’m willing to give you time.”
He was about to leave the living room but turned back to Shen Youbai and added, “Just stay here for the next few days and think it through. If you need anything, tell my assistant.”
Shen Wensong’s assistant referred to the men who were like gangsters just now.
After he left, Shen Youbai bent his knees and lay on the sofa, closing his eyes and taking a drag from his cigarette.
The light penetrated through his eyelids, the clock swung rhythmically, and his hand hung outside the sofa, the cigarette about to burn his fingers.
But all he could think of was Xu Pinyu’s face, the soft touch of her breasts, and the sound of her moans in bed.
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became.
The smell of tar was thick, and his fingers burned.

The next day in class, the tightly closed window was howling with cold wind, and the trembling tree branches divided the view.
The teacher behind the podium was talking nonstop, while Xu Pinyu lay on the desk, staring at the window of the teaching building opposite.
Shen Youbai did not come to school, and his mobile phone had been unanswered since last night.
She couldn’t guess what had happened and had no clue.
In a trance, Xu Pinyu leaned against the corridor. Someone on her right opened a window, and she instinctively turned her head to look.
The cold air blew in from outside, brushing against her face. Her hairs stood on end, and she shrank her neck and covered her face with a scarf.
As she turned back, a hand holding a Santa Claus head suddenly extended in front of her. “Merry Christmas!”
Xia Xun shook the candy in his hand; she took it, somewhat dazed, saying, “Oh, Christmas is in two days.”
The corridor was always bustling, with laughter and chatter passing by like a fleeting moment.
He also leaned against the wall, putting his hands in his pockets. “The first time I saw you was around this time too. Although Zixuan said you don’t remember anymore, I think it’s understandable. I wouldn’t pay special attention to a child either.”
Xu Pinyu was momentarily stunned, holding the candy in her hand. She stood up straight, looking at him as she spoke, “Xia Xun, you…”
Xia Xun quickly interrupted, “Don’t say I’m a good person.”
He didn’t want a ‘good guy’ card before confessing.
Xu Pinyu slowly raised her hand, pointing at him. “I just wanted to say, there’s a caterpillar on your shoulder.”
Then, the expression on Xia Xun’s face instantly became colorful, and he jumped and screamed.
Xu Pinyu couldn’t stop laughing and patted his shoulder, “I lied to you.”
Xia Xun stopped, turned around vigilantly, checked his entire body, and then looked at her with disdain.
Xu Pinyu was quite embarrassed. “Actually, after Zixuan reminded me, I remembered.”
She laughed again. “Back then, you were scared to tears by the caterpillar.”
Xia Xun sighed helplessly. “That’s why I said it’s better if you don’t remember.”

After school, she went to Shen Youbai’s house and rang the doorbell for a long time, but there was no response.
After lingering in front of his house for a while, Xu Pinyu finally walked down the steps and left.
She looked back under the streetlight. The sky darkened, and from a distance, it blended with the unlit houses.
In the end, she heard that the principal himself had given him a leave of absence for a dreadful indefinite period of time.
Xu Pinyu vaguely sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked Zhou Qishan, but even he didn’t know where Shen Youbai was.
She was panicking, but also felt isolated.
Because a person could actually disappear without a trace.
