Chapter 185 She herself didn't realize it
The two of them sat there chatting for a long time.
Si Jingxu felt even more pity for him. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have hung up the phone so unclearly."
He should explain to her clearly that he came because he was desperate to see her.
I've hurt her for so long for no reason.
It even made her cry.
She was so rude... Her lips were now a deep red.
He gently brushed her lips with his right thumb. "Baby, kiss me one more time, okay? Be gentle this time, Brother Jingxu."
"I won't kiss you," Yan Buyu pushed his hand away, "I don't like you like that."
"I won't do it like that this time, I promise to be gentle."
He didn't refuse without saying a word.
Si Jingxu was overjoyed.
Before he could even touch her lips, a knock on the car window interrupted them.
Outside the car, Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi stood beside him in their pajamas.
The two men watched as their younger sister, wearing Si Jingxu's coat, got out of the car with a flushed face, and their faces darkened even more.
It's the middle of the night.
That's incredibly arrogant.
"Still not asleep, Yanzhou?" Si Jingxu greeted him, shielding Yan Buyu's blushing face.
"Buyu, come here," Shen Yunqi walked around and grabbed her sister's arm to bring her over. "It's the middle of the night, aren't you going to get your beauty sleep? Staying up late will give you pimples."
"You're the one with pimples," Yan Buyu retorted.
"Yunqi, take Buyu back to sleep. I have something to discuss with Jing." Shen Yanzhou winked at his younger brother.
"Yan Buyu, do you want some late-night snack?" Shen Yunqi didn't miss his sister's red eyes and nose. "I'll cook you some noodles."
"I'm not eating it. You don't even know to add the ingredients after the water boils."
The brother and sister, like children, bickered and made a fuss as they returned to their room.
"Want a cigarette?" Si Jingxu put a cigarette in his mouth and offered one to Shen Yanzhou.
“I’m not smoking anymore, I’ll smell bad when I get home,” Shen Yanzhou glanced at Si Jingxu, who had already taken out a lighter. “My sister doesn’t like it.”
The lighter flame went out as soon as it was lit.
Si Jingxu, with an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, said, "Buyu told me about Yan Qihang."
Shen Yanzhou was not surprised. "She didn't tell you at first because she was afraid you would look down on her. Actually, she was still insecure."
The little sister carries heavy burdens in her heart.
She always lived cautiously, afraid of being kicked out by him and her father when she was a child.
Just as she was getting a little older, her newly established confidence was shattered by the sudden appearance of her biological father.
“I know,” Si Jingxu leaned against the car door, “that’s why I came. I came to tell her in person that with me here, she has nothing to fear.”
Shen Yanzhou leaned back in the car and said, "That's true. You're dating her, not Yan Qihang. The more she cares, the more she'll overthink things."
Si Jingxu curled his lips slightly.
Shen Yanzhou also understood the importance of remaining silent.
“Alright, Yanzhou,” Si Jingxu chuckled, “No need to test us anymore. We’ve known each other for so many years, do you think I care about these things? I want her because of her as a person, and she has absolutely no relation to her birth mother, birth father, adoptive father, or adoptive mother.”
Even though she was an orphan, they met on the street.
Once he's made up his mind about her, it can only be her.
It doesn't matter if I remain silent or silent, as long as she is the core of the relationship, that's enough.
“Then I’m relieved,” Shen Yanzhou smiled. “If you two break up, I’ll have to think about finding her a few other men.”
Si Jingxu was taken aback.
He was hallucinating. How could Shen Yanzhou say something like that?
"It's getting late, I'm going back to sleep. We'll talk about how to deal with Yan Qihang tomorrow." Shen Yanzhou waved and walked home.
“Yanzhou,” Si Jingxu called to him, “you’ve gone astray.”
Shen Yanzhou turned around and smiled, "Perhaps I've always been like this, but I just haven't had the chance to show it."
Si Jingxu could no longer laugh.
Before anything even happened, the brother-in-law had already started looking for a replacement for his sister.
Can we even continue living like this?
When Shen Yanzhou returned home, Shen Yunqi was carrying out two bowls of noodles. "Big brother, have some late-night snacks."
"Was this made by Buyu? It smells so good." Chen Yanzhou walked over. "Where's Buyu?"
"She's making lemon water in the kitchen."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yan Buyu came out carrying a crystal beverage pitcher in one hand and three cups in the other. "Big brother, have some lemonade."
Shen Yanzhou quickly stepped forward and took the things from her hands, saying, "Be careful."
He didn't speak or eat noodles, but sat and drank water with his brothers.
"Big brother, big brother, I was just talking to Brother Jingxu about Yan Qihang, and I have an idea." She said with a smile.
Tell me about it.
"We must not let Yan Qihang know that we are targeting him. Let him think that I have been moved by him and want to reunite with him so that he can return to China."
Shen Yunqi chewed his noodles with gusto, "Let's trick the turtle into the jar and beat it up."
"That's called catching a turtle in a jar," Shen Yanzhou corrected, adjusting his glasses.
"No catching him, just beating him up." Shen Yunqi took another bite of his fried egg. "We won't be able to beat him to death."
Shen Yanzhou shook his head helplessly, then looked at his smiling sister and softened. "Alright, I'll listen to you. Big brother said you can do whatever you want."
“Then I have only one condition,” Yan Buyu said, extending his index finger with utmost seriousness, “Protect Mom.”
“Of course, not just Aunt Lan, but you too.” Shen Yanzhou put down his chopsticks. “Buyu, you are the most precious treasure of the Shen family, the princess we all cherish in our hearts.”
Suppressing the urge to cry, she nodded firmly, "I am precious. I have many family members who love me, and I am loved very much by you all."
Shen Yunqi patted her head and said, "Good girl."
Yan Buyu froze for a moment. "Brother, is there oil on your hands?"
Shen Yunqi chuckled, "It's gone now."
"Big brother~ look at him!" Yan Buyu frowned and pouted, looking aggrieved as he spoke to Chen Yanzhou.
This was the first time her younger sister had acted like a spoiled child towards her.
Shen Yanzhou also felt like crying. His voice softened a bit as he comforted him, "Big brother will deduct his salary from yours."
"Hey?" Shen Yunqi protested, "I didn't smear it on your head."
“Bullying the president’s sister will result in a triple penalty.” Shen Yanzhou stood up. “Bu Yu, go back to sleep. Shen Yunqi, stay and do the dishes.”
Shen Yunqi: "...Can I not have my pay docked for washing the dishes? I'm thinking of buying a game console this month."
“No,” Shen Yanzhou’s cold voice said ruthlessly, “You’ll be charged separately if you don’t wash the dishes.”
Yan Buyu skipped along, linking arms with Shen Yanzhou, and then stuck out her tongue at Shen Yunqi.
Shen Yunqi watched them go upstairs and shook his head with a smile.
She doesn't need to say a word; just being able to laugh and act cute is enough.
Lying on the bed, Yan Buyu suddenly remembered a question: How did Brother Jingxu know that she had something to do after returning home in the afternoon?
She sent a message.
The other party replied quickly: [When you replied to my message this afternoon, you didn't use any modal particles.]
When replying to messages, I usually end my sentences with "ya," "oh," or "ne."
Not today.
It's obvious at a glance that his little feather is in a bad mood.
Yan Buyu scrolled through their chat history and it seemed to be true.
The key point is that she herself didn't realize it.
