Chapter 114 Now he's starting to act like a child.
The next day, Yan Buyu woke up very early.
I want to go to the pond to feed the fish.
The fish here are raised exceptionally well, perhaps because they are cared for by specialists; they are much fatter than the fish she and Shen Yunqi manage in Beijing.
Very pleasing.
Sitting by the pond, I turned sideways and sprinkled some fish food on it. The little fish swarmed up and frolicked.
A hand wearing a silver ring reached out from the side, took a pinch of fish food from her hand, and said in a voice that was still hoarse from early morning, "You like fish, don't you?"
We feed them at home, and we feed them here too.
"Brother Jingxu?" She was so engrossed in watching the fish that she didn't notice someone had appeared beside her. "You woke up so early?"
"Yeah, I'm not a fan of certain beds." Si Jingxu yawned lazily. "What about you? You're not a fan of certain beds either?"
“No,” Yan Buyu held the fish food toward him, “I can fall asleep anywhere.”
She simply sat down on the stone bench by the pool.
"Stand up," Si Jingxu suddenly said.
She remained silent, her meaning unclear, but she still obediently got up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Si Jingxu took off his sports jacket, folded it twice, and put it on her stone bench. "It's so early in the morning, the stone is so cold. Sit down."
He refused to sit down, saying that they weren't that familiar with each other yet. "I won't sit down, Brother Jingxu. I think Big Brother will be awake soon and ready to have breakfast."
She put down the fish food, clapped her hands, picked up Si Jingxu's coat, and patted off the almost non-existent dust. "Thank you."
Si Jingxu's gaze lingered on her delicate hands for a second before he reached out and took the coat. "Where should we go today? Let me make some arrangements."
“Anywhere is fine with me,” Yan Buyu said as they walked. “I don’t have any particular place I want to go. Pick one you like.”
"Don't speak," Si Jingxu glanced down at her, "Do you dare to openly express what's on your mind? You don't need to take care of everyone; you are also a person with flesh and blood and feelings."
She paused, a vague urge to speak rising within her, but she forcefully suppressed it.
“I really don’t care,” she said.
"Stubborn little duckling." Si Jingxu patted her head. "Then you'll come with me today. Wherever I say we go, we'll go. But you have the right to say no, understand?"
He nodded silently, a strange emotion welling up inside him.
After breakfast, Shen Yanzhou left with Shen Yunqi.
There are several leaders and important business partners in Suzhou that he wants to introduce to Shen Yunqi.
Wherever you go, you should first cultivate good relationships with the leading local businesses.
Shen Yanzhou had this connection, and he was willing to introduce him to Shen Yunqi.
"Aren't you afraid that once I know everyone, I'll turn around and betray you, taking all your assets?" Shen Yunqi said to the person next to him, fiddling with his hair while looking at his phone.
Shen Yanzhou chuckled, in a good mood. "It's your ability to do it, but being betrayed by you is my inadequacy. I admit defeat."
"Tch," Shen Yunqi put away his phone, "You're so boring. I can't even get into an argument with you. You're different from other people. Shouldn't you be keeping an eye on me, afraid that I'll come to the company? You're even taking me around all over the place."
"I don't know about other families, but I do know that the Shen family can't survive on my own for long. You're also a member of the Shen family, so you should serve the group." Shen Yanzhou said calmly, seemingly lost in thought.
Money, when you have too much of it, becomes just a string of emotionless numbers.
He already has enough, but he's still working hard because he wants to break through his own limitations, challenge himself, and see how far he can go.
Moreover, during this trip home, he unexpectedly discovered something else he wanted to have.
"What kind of car does Buyu like?" Shen Yanzhou asked.
“Her? She likes bumper cars.” Shen Yunqi’s smile widened as he thought of his sister. “She doesn’t like driving. She finds parking troublesome. And when she first got her driver’s license, she tried to change lanes but was stopped by other drivers. She got honked at by the cars behind her, and she has a phobia of that.”
Shen Yanzhou instantly pictured a little girl, her face covered in sweat, sitting in the driver's seat.
She used her turn signal, but being timid and inexperienced, she didn't know when the right time was, and no one was willing to stop for a few seconds to let her pass.
Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
At the same time, he felt sorry for his sister, wishing he could come back sooner to be with her.
Yan Buyu sat in the coffee shop with Si Jingxu, staring at each other blankly.
Si Jingxu slowly sipped his coffee, then elegantly set it down. "Do you like it here?"
What do you like?
No matter how nicely decorated a coffee shop is, it's still just a coffee shop.
Yan Buyu was in low spirits. "It's alright."
A hint of a smile flickered in Si Jingxu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "If there's anywhere you want to go, we can go together."
She remained silent, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, afraid that others might not like the places she liked, which would cause trouble later.
I should have known she said she was going out to play alone yesterday.
"If not, I'd like to browse the bookstore later." Si Jingxu stared at her as she continued to press the issue.
"..." Yan Buyu looked up and said, "Brother Jingxu, there's a commercial food street nearby that's really popular online. Lots of people are checking it out. Let's go take a look."
Finally, she spoke, and Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, exuding nonchalance, "Of course."
Commercial food streets can be found all over the country, and 70-80% of the snacks are the same.
However, once you enter this place, you're surrounded by a fragrance that has been technologically enhanced, which easily stimulates dopamine levels in the body.
I just had a silent iced Americano and I'm hungry now.
I want to try everything I see.
When she was with Shen Yunqi, he always complained that the food was unhygienic and wouldn't let her eat it, but the food he made at home was still not quite right.
Si Jingxu followed her, watching her little head looking around, and couldn't help but smile.
He's been cooped up all the time, and only now is he starting to act like a child again.
She has a personality that makes her keep everything bottled up inside.
But this is really not good; over time, problems are likely to arise.
It's either psychological or physiological.
"Brother Jingxu, try this. It's highly recommended by netizens. It's a time-honored brand of fresh pork pan-fried buns." Yan Buyu brought over a box.
Si Jingxu is a germaphobe and doesn't eat at roadside stalls.
But with the girl's smile as a backdrop, even the unhygienic food stall seemed more palatable to him.
For the rest of the morning, they ate ice cream, pig's trotters, braised duck, plum blossom cake, mung bean soup, and more...
I've tried almost everything that online bloggers recommend.
They were thoroughly enjoying their meal.
They had a lot of fun, even though they didn't say anything.
No wonder people prioritize eating when it comes to having fun; it's really easy to satisfy people.
When Shen Yanzhou received Si Jingxu's call, he had just finished visiting two old leaders in Suzhou with Shen Yunqi.
"What?" His tone was more urgent than ever before. "We'll be there right away."
Shen Yunqi had never seen him like this before. Shen Yanzhou could handle anything and resolve any difficult situation properly, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yanzhou's expression was grave, and he quickened his pace. "Buyu has been admitted to the hospital."
