Chapter 191 Team Building
Si Jingxu wanted to take Yan Buyu out for a walk to clear his head.
The weather is nice at this time of year; it's a bit hot at midday, but there's a cool breeze in the early morning and evening.
"Going camping? Do you want to stay overnight?" Yan Buyu asked.
"Yes, let's stay here, otherwise it won't be fun. Watching the stars and the moon at night, and having a barbecue in the mountains, it'll be a unique experience." Si Jingxu had already made all the plans.
When the moon is bright and the stars are few, and a cool breeze is blowing, you can hold your girlfriend, look at the moon, and then lean down to kiss her.
That's so romantic!
But Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi found out about this.
“That won’t do. A man and a woman alone in the mountains late at night, who knows what he’s thinking?” Shen Yunqi said bluntly, “If you go, I’ll go too.”
“There are few people in the mountains, it’s not safe for the two of you. I’ll go too, just in case something happens, there will be someone to look after you.” Shen Yanzhou and his younger brother exchanged a glance and reached a consensus.
After that...
Long Yu found out.
"My restaurant gets its fresh ingredients air-freighted from here, and my little sister loves them, so I definitely have to send them to her in a refrigerated truck."
He Run also heard about it.
“My sister doesn’t take me with her anymore. My sister Bu Yu wouldn’t be as heartless as her.”
Qi Feng followed closely behind, "Xiao Xiao just won a gold medal in boxing, so she's in a good mood. I'll take this opportunity to smooth things over with her. Brothers and sisters, count me in."
Needless to say, Qin Nianke went too; if her best friend went, she would go too.
My boyfriend hasn't come back yet.
As Si Jingxu looked at the list of accompanying persons compiled by Yan Buyu, his temples throbbed.
Okay.
Other people's relationships are a world for two.
He treats dating like a team-building activity.
But he couldn't bring himself to refuse, even through the phone screen, his girlfriend's watery eyes made him unable to open his mouth.
Go, go, all of you go.
Little Feather is still young, and he didn't have any messy ideas to begin with.
It's not entirely wrong to kiss and hug in front of these people.
You'll have to get used to it sooner or later.
The date was set for the weekend, and Yan Buyu was a little excited; she hadn't been camping in a long time.
“Let’s bring some board games and play together,” Qin Nianke said excitedly. “And the weather will be nice this weekend, so let’s take lots of photos tonight.”
"Okay." Yan Buyu said happily.
Suddenly his face darkened again.
Yan Qihang hasn't contacted her these past two days. I hope he doesn't send her messages or call her again when she's happiest.
In that case, she really wanted to kill someone.
"What are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly put on such a serious face?" Qin Nianke looked up and was stunned.
"I dare not be happy," Yan said sullenly.
Si Jingxu was planning to have lunch with Yan Buyu when Ling Huiwen called him back to his parents' house halfway there.
As I walked into the living room, before I even saw anyone, I heard my mother's happy laughter.
There are guests.
Si Jingxu said that he sounded very anxious on the phone, so it couldn't be just a simple meal.
"Mom," Si Jingxu called out as he entered the living room.
Ling Huiwen, still smiling, waved to him from the sofa, "Axu, come here, see who's here."
Si Jingxu saw the figure as soon as he entered; it wasn't unfamiliar.
Song Jingyi stood up and said with a smile, "Jingxu is back. I didn't tell you in advance and called you back for dinner at the last minute. I hope it didn't disrupt your plans."
“Jingyi said he wouldn’t let you come back, but I thought it would be good for you two brothers to get together and have some fun since you haven’t seen each other in a long time,” Ling Huiwen instructed the housekeeper to serve dinner.
"How have you been these past few days? Is business going smoothly?" Si Jingxu sat down on the other side, leaning back lazily and crossing his legs.
"Not bad, there's nothing seriously wrong," Song Jingyi said dismissively. "We didn't even get to drink to our hearts' content last time."
"Come again today."
"What are you talking about!" Ling Huiwen yelled. "Both of you should drink less. Don't take advantage of your youth to compete with this person in drinking contests today and that person in drinking contests tomorrow."
"Okay, whatever you say, then we'll have juice." Song Jingyi changed his mind quickly.
He coaxed Ling Huiwen into a happy mood, saying, "Jingyi really knows how to coax people. By the way, your mother has gone back to Italy now. When are you going back?"
Si Jingxu also looked over.
"I still have some things to take care of here, I'll be back as soon as I'm done," Song Jingyi replied quickly. "My mom calls me every day, she looks great, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong with her. It's all thanks to you, Aunt Wen."
Ling Huiwen sighed, "Oh, your mother has had a hard life. We should spend more time chatting with her."
A brief silence fell over the living room.
"Mom," Si Jingxu said lazily, "Why are you saying all this? Isn't it time to eat?"
“Oh, look at me,” Ling Huiwen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, “Jingyi, come eat.”
At the dinner table, Ling Huiwen personally took charge of the arrangements.
"Your mother doesn't eat chives, and you don't eat celery, so you made a point of avoiding them when you were telling the kitchen to let you try the chef's cooking."
Si Jingxu paused for a moment as he held the cutlery.
I don't eat leeks or celery.
The next second, his expression returned to normal, and he casually answered Ling Huiwen's question, pointing to the tomato beef brisket that had just been served, "Jingyi, do you like beef and mutton?"
“Me?” Song Jingyi picked up a piece of beef and looked at Si Jingxu. “I prefer beef.”
Ling Huiwen said casually, "Jingyi's father doesn't eat mutton, so there's a lot of beef on their table. We didn't cook mutton today either."
Si Jingxu didn't ask any further questions, acting as if he hadn't heard, and started talking about wine again.
Ling Huiwen looked at Song Jingyi apologetically, "Your uncle had scheduled a meeting with a minister today, but he couldn't cancel. Please don't mind."
"Not at all. I came to visit you on short notice. I'm sorry I didn't know how to be polite. I hope you don't mind, Aunt Wen," Song Jingyi said with a smile. "I just found out you were back in Beijing and was eager to come and see you."
“You child, saying that makes you seem distant. Your mother and I are very close. We even said back then…” Ling Huiwen stopped talking, “Let’s eat, let’s eat, eat more.”
Ling Huiwen piled a lot of food onto Song Jingyi's plate, then looked at her son and said, "You should spend the weekend with Jingyi."
Si Jingxu: ...
Song Jingyi: ...
"I have something to do this weekend." Si Jingxu took a sip of peach juice.
Ling Huiwen's eyes lit up. "You've made a date with Buyu? Is that right? Where are you going? Just the two of you? Mom will find you a place to go."
Song Jingyi chewed his meat expressionlessly.
"Team building," Si Jingxu said without looking up. "A bunch of friends are going camping."
"Camping?" Ling Huiwen's eyes lit up. "Take Jingyi with you. You're all young people, it'll be fun together, and you can introduce him to some friends in Beijing."
"That depends on whether Jingyi is willing to go. It's just camping on the mountain, there are no other activities."
That was a pretty clear rejection.
Anyone with a modicum of sense would make an excuse that they have something to do.
Song Jingyi acted as if he didn't understand, "Camping in the mountains, that sounds good, I'll bring some wine."
Ling Huiwen hopes that her child and her best friend's child can become good friends.
She laughed the most, "Then you two have a lot of fun!"
