Chapter 19 How could they not be close?
Even without saying a word, Yan Buyu felt that Shen Yunqi was a little confused because he had drunk too much the day before.
Shen Yanzhou cared neither about money nor about her.
He'll only make himself a laughingstock.
She pulled Shen Yunqi's arm off.
She greeted Shen Yanzhou softly, "Big brother, you're back! You got off work so early today. Are you tired?"
Shen Yanzhou's furrowed brows relaxed.
The girl was dressed in a simple and appropriate T-shirt and jeans, standing properly, looking obedient and sweet.
He's a million times better than his blood-related younger brother next to him, who's flashy, slovenly, and has a head full of purple hair.
He didn't even want to spare a glance for Shen Yunqi.
My younger sister is still the best.
If I have children in the future, I must raise them the way my aunt raised them.
Shen Yanzhou's gaze softened, and his voice became gentler, "Yes, I'm back. There wasn't much work at the company today, so I'm not tired."
Yan Buyu's impression of Shen Yanzhou improved somewhat.
He was the first child in the family and was groomed to be their successor.
Look at their manners, their emotional intelligence, their skills...
"Hey? Big brother, you hurt your hand?"
Without saying a word, he immediately ran to get a band-aid.
Shen Yanzhou raised both hands and swept them across, finally discovering a tiny red wound on the back of his left hand.
I smiled; she's quite thoughtful.
Shen Yunqi chimed in sourly, "You'd better run fast, or it'll heal soon."
Shen Yanzhou didn't even glance at him, and went straight to find Yan Buyu.
Without saying a word, he handed him a band-aid and disposable iodine swabs, saying, "Here you go, brother."
"Thank you, Buyu." Shen Yanzhou accepted the gift. "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you. Do you like seafood? Jingxu's family air-freighted some cod today, shall we send you some?"
Yan Buyu immediately waved his hand, "No need to trouble you, brother. The food at home is very good."
Their politeness annoyed Shen Yunqi, who stood to the side, and he crossed his arms and sneered, "So pretentious. If you wanted to give it to me, would you have asked? I'd just hand it to you. If you don't want to talk, I'll buy you ice cream."
Shen Yanzhou finally couldn't stand Shen Yunqi anymore. He looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "I don't need to pretend to please anyone. What if Bu Yu is allergic to seafood?"
"She's been living here for over ten years, don't you know if she has allergies?"
Chen Yanzhou paused.
He didn't really know much about Yan Buyu's affairs, and when he called, he only inquired about her academic performance.
Ignoring Shen Yunqi, he turned to Yan Buyu and said, "Buyu, your older brother will take better care of you in the future. Here, I'll have someone bring you some. See if you like it. If you do, you can have it every day."
Before he could even begin to mediate the fight, the argument was over.
"Ah, okay, thank you, big brother," Yan Buyu said softly, watching Shen Yanzhou's retreating figure.
Shen Yunqi hummed and groaned beside him.
"Brother, why are you angry? I told you to keep up appearances. Look at this," Yan Buyu stopped praising Chen Yanzhou and smiled as she tried to coax him, "My brother is the best! I love my brother the most! Be happy!"
"I just can't stand his attitude of ignoring you for so many years and then coming back to try and take advantage of you as the big brother."
It was clearly him who was in charge of the young Yan Buyu.
He was the one who spoke up for her when her relatives were making things difficult for her.
Clearly...
He is Yan Buyu's only older brother.
"Oh, my brother's jealous." Yan Buyu's eyes crinkled as she hooked her arm around his. "Don't be jealous. You can have many older brothers, but you only have one brother. I'm going to stick with you for life."
Shen Yunqi was appeased.
He's susceptible to silence.
He then reached for his phone to transfer money.
They were rejected by words that were neither eloquent nor persuasive.
He spends a lot of money on socializing these days, so if he shares the money with her, it won't be enough.
Anyway, she's saved quite a bit of money.
While Yan Buyu was pestering Shen Yunqi to tell her about his girlfriend, the Si family sent someone to deliver cod.
They are not strangers yet.
The young master of the Si family personally led a group of people over.
Despite her words, she couldn't bring herself to smile at her superior Jingxu's smiling eyes.
Is it really necessary? Just to deliver a fish, the young master himself comes to the door.
How big must that fish be?
"Jingxu, why did you come in person?" Shen Yanzhou was equally puzzled.
"I missed you, why didn't you let me come and see you?" Si Jingxu, dressed in a white haute couture casual suit, raised an eyebrow slightly, exuding an indescribable air of debauchery and ease.
"..." Shen Yanzhou was speechless for a moment. What had Si Jingxu been through recently? "Sit down, don't talk, and call someone."
"Brother Jingxu," Yan Buyu called out obediently.
Si Jingxu smiled and said, "Good boy."
Shen Yunqi disliked Shen Yanzhou's friends.
He pulled Yan Buyu outside, saying, "Did you overfeed Mom's goldfish? I need to count them."
Si Jingxu glanced at him gripping Yan Buyu's wrist, his brow furrowing, his voice growing colder, "Your younger brother and sister have such a good relationship."
Shen Yanzhou knew what he was talking about. He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples. "Don't overthink it. The two kids grew up together. How could they not be close? I have no other thoughts. Shen Yunqi already has a girlfriend."
Others say it might be false.
But if Shen Yanzhou said that, then it must be true.
Si Jingxu's attitude softened a bit. "How are the preparations for the silent party going?"
"Long Yu and He Run are making arrangements. One said he knows young girls, and the other said he has a younger sister who can help with the selection. They told us we can just go there tomorrow."
Si Jingxu hummed in agreement, then looked at the cheerful figure outside the French windows. "Yanzhou, aren't you going to offer me a place to stay for dinner?"
Shen Yanzhou chuckled lightly, "Since your young master Si personally delivered the fish, why would I not keep you? What brings you here today?"
Of course I'm not free.
Si Jingxu was looking for an opportunity to remain silent every day.
But she either goes to school or goes home, and rarely goes out for a stroll. When she goes home, there are two older brothers at home.
Even if they knew, I wouldn't be afraid.
But there will always be more obstacles.
Especially that idiot with a head full of purple hair.
Having finally found out she wanted to eat fish, I came over without wasting a single minute.
I just wanted to see her.
Listen to that "Brother Jingxu".
"Yes, I'm not busy lately, so I'm taking a break. You know, Long Yu and his friends are too noisy. Your place is much quieter."
Not only is it quiet, but it's also her.
The two chatted about stocks and securities for a while, and then the butler came over to say that dinner was ready.
Shen Yanzhou stood up. "I'll go call the two of them."
Si Jingxu also stood up, "I'll stretch my legs too."
Yan Buyu and Shen Yunqi get along very well.
They are like two children at heart.
They actually went to check on the fish in the pond when they came out earlier.
Yan Buyu held a box of fish food and instructed Shen Yunqi, "Brother, that little fat yellow one has eaten a lot more. You can move it away so I can feed the little black one."
Shen Yunqi gently poked at the fish with a stick in his hand, "This fish is as fat as you, and you're still eating it. Yan Buyu, you should eat less at night from now on, okay? It's so hard for girls to lose weight."
He paused in his act of sprinkling fish food without saying a word, showing no anger whatsoever, and chuckled, "Your girlfriend's on a diet and won't let you eat your fill, is that it?"
Shen Yunqi: "Little sister, you're right."
