Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: He Has Grown Up, Yet Remains the少年 in Memory (5)
Si Nian let out a deep sigh, grabbed the planning book that had just been despised by Sheng Yanxiao from the table, drooped his head, and prepared to leave.
"Come to my house for dinner tomorrow."
Just as he was about to reach the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him. Si Nian turned around to look at the person behind him.
Did he hear correctly?
Young Master Sheng actually invited him to his house for dinner?
Wait a minute, which "house" is he referring to?
Ever since graduation, Sheng Yanxiao had been living in an apartment not far from the company. If he meant having dinner there... Si Nian immediately shook his head. He definitely wouldn’t go, it was a cold, impersonal place. Going there might just mean eating takeout, and there’s a chance he’d be doubly exploited.
Before Si Nian could ask, Sheng Yanxiao, his eyes on the screen, had already given a faint answer: "Villa."
"I’m in!"
Si Nian immediately agreed. The chef at the Sheng Family... that’s master-level gastronomy.
After taking a couple more steps towards the door, Si Nian paused again, turned around and asked: "Brother Xiao, what made you decide to go home suddenly?"
Sheng Yanxiao had rarely returned to the Sheng Family Villa since graduation, yet Si Nian would occasionally visit. What he heard most often was Miss Tang’s complaints.
Si Nian understood the reason why Sheng Yanxiao didn’t go back, but he couldn’t say anything about it. The aftermath of that incident, over the past three years, had only intensified.
Now, Sheng Yanxiao suddenly saying he wanted to go back for dinner stirred Si Nian’s curiosity.
Sheng Yanxiao continued to focus on his screen, fingers tapping on the keyboard, not even looking at him, and simply threw out two words: "Talkative."
Si Nian felt a bit awkward, touched his nose, closed the door, and left.
The sound of typing in the office continued for a while before gradually stopping. Sheng Yanxiao glanced at the calendar on the table; the date for tomorrow was circled.
Why go back?
Of course, it’s because she has returned.
Sheng Yanxiao’s eyes turned deep and inscrutable, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.

"Attention all passengers, our flight will land in thirty minutes..."
The announcement came over the plane’s speakers. Su Weiyi reached up to remove her eye mask, rubbed her temples. Perhaps it was a slight cold combined with the long flight, but her head was aching terribly.
Stretching her neck a bit, Su Weiyi reached to open the window shade beside her, and the glaring sunlight streamed in.
The plane had already begun its descent, and before long, the mountains and rivers below were visible. Su Weiyi sat up straight; she was back, finally back.
The plane landed at B City’s airport by local time, it was already past three in the afternoon. Su Weiyi retrieved her luggage, her petite figure maneuvering two large suitcases as she walked out.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw the person who had come to pick her up.
Miss Tang, wearing sunglasses, stepped forward to gently hug Su Weiyi and frowned: "Xiao Yi, why are you even thinner?"
Su Weiyi smiled: "Mom, long time no see."
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed as they walked outside, got into the car, and headed towards the villa.
Standing once again at the entrance of the Sheng Family Villa, Su Weiyi felt somewhat disoriented. It looked the same as in her memory, yet seemed to have changed a lot.
She walked in, holding onto Miss Tang’s arm, and as soon as she reached the foyer, she heard a scream from inside: "Damn, Brother Xiao, you..."
It was Si Nian’s voice.
When Su Weiyi appeared in the living room, the half-finished sentence "you didn’t get enough sleep today" that Si Nian was about to say got completely swallowed back down.
