Chapter 16: Has Your Crush Came Out?
After hanging up the phone with the shareholders at the company, Shen Yanzhou seriously pondered the 'expression' proposed by Si Jingxu.
How do we express that?
He sent it to his brothers' group chat.
Shen Yanzhou: [My sister passed her physical fitness test, and I want to celebrate with her. What do girls in Beijing like these days?]
Brother Long: [Women are all the same, they love shopping, buying and spending money, brother is ready to swipe his black card.]
Maple in the Wind: [Wow, that even rhymes!]
Brother Long: Stupid.jpg
Young Master He: [Yanzhou's sister isn't that superficial. She just likes artistic things. Why don't you give her a calligraphy or painting, or an antique ornament?]
You Longge: [Yue! These two siblings who love writing sentimental poems are both so strong!]
Young Master He: [Do you really have the nerve to put roses in the passenger seat every day?]
Maple in the Wind: [Alright, alright, we're all brothers. It's just a woman. She hasn't been with anyone else, so let's call it a day and move on. Stop making a fuss.]
Brother Long: [Calls out "Brother!" and shakes hands to make peace]
Young Master He: [I'm your grandpa]
Si: [@Brother Long, @Young Master He, you two go outside and chat privately, don't bother my ears.]
Si: [I asked my cousin, let's have a party!]
Shen Yanzhou had given up hope when he saw the two arguing, but then he saw Si Jingxu's words.
He thought it was possible.
When they were abroad, they would throw parties all the time, and the girls were always very happy.
He could prepare more champagne and gifts for her.
Shen Yanzhou: [Thanks, brother.]
Si: [Don't mention it. Let me know when and where you want to meet, and I'll bring my sister a celebratory gift.]
Shen Yanzhou frowned slightly. When did Si Jingxu become so concerned about other people's affairs?
He's not the type to meddle in such trivial matters.
Brother Long: [Me too, me too! I'm also preparing a gift for my sister!]
Maple in the Wind: [I didn't introduce you last time, so Brother Maple has to be here too!]
Young Master He: [You can't leave me behind]
Shen Yanzhou: Okay.
Anyway, it's more lively with more people. After graduation, Yan Buyu will be working in the Beijing social circle, which will inevitably involve dealing with several prominent families.
She is quiet and timid, making her an easy target for bullying.
But none of his friends were easy to deal with.
She should go out more, socialize more, and get to know more people. If she really encounters such a situation in the future, even if someone is there and speaks a few words in her favor, she won't feel wronged.
As for Si Jingxu... well, I don't have time to deal with him. After all, he's been a friend for many years, so it's normal to check on him occasionally.
They've always been very good at putting on a good show.
My most important task right now is to organize a party that all the little girls will love for Yan Buyu.
Yan Buyu was shocked to receive a call from Shen Yanzhou.
Why have a party?!
Why? ? ?
Just because she passed the physical exam???
ah? ?
Excuse me?
"Um, brother, it's not necessary. It's too much trouble for you. Besides, it's just a matter of passing the physical test." Yan Buyu was still trying his best to persuade him.
Shen Yanzhou patiently explained, "Passing the physical test is just an excuse to bring everyone together. You're twenty years old now, and you'll be joining your family's company after graduation. You still need to get to know all these people in the industry."
They remained silent.
This is using her name to engage in social networking.
If she were to refuse after all that, she would be being unreasonable.
She said sullenly, "I understand, goodbye, brother."
Shen Yanzhou had no idea that she had misunderstood the matter. Hearing her low voice, he assumed she was tired from running and immediately instructed Aunt Jiang to make her a lot of her favorite foods.
"What's wrong?" Qin Nianke asked gossiping while eating ice cream. "Did your crush come out as gay?"
“No,” Yan Buyu glanced at her, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of cantaloupe-flavored ice cream into her bowl, “My older brother said he’s going to throw me a party to celebrate my successful physical test.”
Qin Nianke paused for a moment, then said enviously, "Your brother is so lucky, especially since he's not related to me by blood. Look at my brother who is related to me by blood, the difference is huge..."
"Is this good?" Yan Buyu asked in surprise. "I don't like it."
Qin Nianke waved her hand dismissively, "Your family is the Shen family, it's normal. Which family in the circle doesn't try to find excuses to have more gatherings and invite these scions of prominent families? It's just normal socializing."
They all say the same thing.
"Then remember to come on Saturday. My older brother asked me to invite my friends, and you're my only friend." Yan Buyu poked at the melted ice cream in his bowl, looking sullen.
"Then I'm truly honored." Qin Nianke smiled brightly. "You're my only friend. As for the previous ones... never mind, I'll play with you that day."
Yan Buyu returned home that evening, but neither Shen Yanzhou nor Shen Yunqi were there.
Aunt Jiang greeted her with a smile, "Young Miss is back. Let's eat. Today, the young master had the kitchen prepare a lot of your favorite dishes. Were you tired from running?"
"It's alright, I finished running around in the morning, and there's nothing to do in the afternoon. I've already rested well. Aunt Jiang, I'm not eating, I've already eaten out." Yan Buyu forced a smile and went upstairs.
She was very anxious.
People are different. Some people are born to love excitement and crowds, while others prefer to be quiet and alone.
She is the latter.
She feels uncomfortable in crowded places.
Also, the thought of having to face so many fake smiles makes me feel uncomfortable.
He lay in bed, covered by the blanket, wanting to find Shen Yunqi, but afraid of disturbing his date with his girlfriend.
I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
When Lan Xinyan called, she was lying in bed counting the 1,324th sheep.
"Mom," Yan Buyu said.
"Baby, are you asleep? So early?" Lan Xinyan called at the exact time, but heard a tired voice from her.
"Without a mother," Yan Buyu cleared his throat, "where did you and your uncle go?"
"We're going out to sea to see dolphins tomorrow, how about you?"
She didn't tell Lan Xinyan about the party, since Lan Xinyan lived far away and it wouldn't make any difference.
She didn't want Lan Xinyan to call and question Shen Yanzhou.
That would damage their relationship.
Just bear with it and it will pass.
"I'm fine, I passed the physical test today," Yan Buyu said, trying to sound relaxed.
“Oh, I know,” Lan Xinyan replied. “Yanzhou called me and said he wanted to throw you a party to celebrate. He asked me what you like, and I told him.”
Silence: ...
Lan Xinyan added, "Mom knows you don't like crowds, but baby, Mom thinks you should interact with more people, make more friends, talk and communicate more, and don't always keep things bottled up inside and try to process them yourself, okay?"
Lan Xinyan understands Yan Buyu all too well. She is sensitive and insecure, and she tends to shut herself off all the time, which can trap her in her own world.
She should go out more and make more friends.
That way she'll know how popular she is.
