Chapter 21 No need for formalities among our own people
Yan Buyu immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "I'm still in school, so I won't drink anymore. I'll just eat the vegetables."
Si Jingxu slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth. "How obedient."
She obediently only listens to her purple-haired brother.
Shen Yanzhou had been observing Yan Buyu the whole time, and her eyes clearly lit up when Si Jingxu suggested drinking.
Later, Shen Yunqi yelled at him and he was silenced.
I feel a little sorry for her.
My sister just wanted a drink, why did Shen Yunqi react so strongly?
But he didn't want to talk too much at this time, so that his sister wouldn't have to coax the older brother who was more like a younger brother.
"Alright, let's eat," he said.
The atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down a bit.
Only Si Jingxu and Shen Yanzhou would occasionally chat about topics like investment and securities that she couldn't understand at all.
Shen Yunqi had barely taken a couple of bites when his phone started ringing incessantly.
Yan Buyu glanced at it; the caller ID showed 'Qiqi'.
Then Shen Yunqi stood up and said, "I'm going to take this call, you guys take your time eating," and left.
Yan Buyu pursed her lips and chuckled to herself; her brother was truly a perfect boyfriend.
"Don't speak," Si Jingxu called to her.
She looked over without saying a word, and saw the man smiling at her, casually swirling his wine glass. "Nobody's bothering you anymore, want a sip?"
She blinked.
Actually, she really wanted to drink it.
She had drunk alcohol twice before, but after waking up, her mother and brother said that she was too young to touch alcohol anymore.
She listened and stopped drinking it, and it's been about two years now.
But everyone gets hungry.
Anyway, my brother will be on the phone with his girlfriend for a while, so how about we have a couple of drinks?
Shen Yanzhou smiled and shook his head. After all, he was just a child; everything was written on his face.
She didn't reply, but she was clearly asking for drinks.
“Go ahead and drink if you want. We have low-alcohol champagne, you can try it,” he paused, then added, “Anyway, we’re at home, and my brother is here too, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
This statement undoubtedly reassured him, even without further ado.
She nodded with her eyes crinkling. That's right. Anyway, at home, even if her brother gets angry when he comes down, someone will take care of her.
Si Jingxu was amused by her appearance; how could someone always be so cute?
He rested his chin on his hand, his tone languid, "What kind of wine do you like? I'll get it for you."
Yan Buyu answered truthfully, "I don't drink much. Last time I drank red wine, so I don't know what's good."
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow, "Are you being so strict?"
As they were talking, the butler opened a bottle of champagne and brought it over, pouring it for Yan Buyu.
The round dining table had no seats between Si Jingxu and Yan Buyu, but the table was large and the space between them was also large.
He stood up and walked to Yan Buyu's side, looking down at her, his voice low and deep, "Shall we have a toast with Brother Jingxu?"
When he walked over, Yan Buyu's heart skipped a beat; it must be because she was too happy to be able to drink.
With fine wine and delicious food before her, Yan Buyu was preoccupied with taking a few sips while her brother was away.
She immediately raised her glass and gently clinked it against hers.
He drinks red wine, she drinks champagne.
The dark red and pale yellow liquids swayed gently as the glasses clinked, creating a somewhat ambiguous and intimate atmosphere.
Then, Yan Buyu eagerly took a sip.
ah!
So refreshing!
It tastes so good!
Shen Yanzhou also came over, raised his glass, and asked, "Do you like it?"
Without saying a word, she touched his wine glass, her delight evident. "I like it."
“You’ll have a lot at your party tomorrow,” Shen Yanzhou said.
He now understood why Shen Yunqi treated Yan Buyu so well.
Seeing her happy made me inexplicably happy too.
This is probably what those parents mean when they say: as long as the child is happy, that's all that matters.
"Go ahead and drink," Shen Yanzhou said generously.
"Big brother, you're so kind." Yan Buyu quickly finished his drink.
It has to be said that Shen Yanzhou is much better than Shen Yunqi when it comes to drinking.
Her brother forbade her from touching alcohol at all, not even beer.
God knows how much she craved it.
Chen Yanzhou felt much more at ease.
The obedient, sensible, well-behaved, cute, and polite little girl is his younger sister.
He couldn't resist and reached out to rub her head.
Si Jingxu stood by the table without leaving, and when he saw Shen Yanzhou's movements, he raised an eyebrow.
Not to be outdone, he also patted the silent man's head.
However, I was in such a good mood today that I ignored everything around me.
Before Si Jingxu could retract his hand, she grabbed it with lightning speed.
The man was slightly surprised and looked down at her. Had she drunk too much?
That shouldn't be the case; her face wasn't red, and her eyes weren't glazed over.
That's perfectly normal.
"Silent?" He grasped her hand in return; she had taken it herself.
If a girl takes the initiative and he rejects her, he'd be incredibly insensitive.
Right?
Those hands were so soft and smooth, I couldn't bear to let go.
But the next second, he was stunned.
Shen Yunqi chatted with Wang Yaqi on the phone for a while; they were deeply in love.
She is beautiful, gentle, and understanding; her voice is so sweet it could melt your bones.
Finally, he remembered the party and casually mentioned, "My sister's having a party tomorrow, do you want to come? If not, that's fine too, I respect your decision."
He thought that a shy girl like Wang Yaqi wouldn't like this kind of occasion.
There was a pause on the other end, but the voice still held a hint of excitement. "Great! I've been wanting to meet my sister too. We'll have to see each other eventually. What kind of gift should I bring her?"
Shen Yunqi was quite happy that his girlfriend and sister had already taken a liking to each other even before meeting. "She likes pink and white, so you can buy whatever you want, and I'll reimburse you for the bills."
Wang Yaqi chuckled softly, her voice melodious and pleasant, "How could I let you reimburse me for the gift I gave my sister? Will you pick me up tomorrow? Should I wear a formal dress?"
Shen Yunqi thought for a moment, "Let's keep it casual, it's not a very formal party. Of course I'll pick you up and give me a kiss?"
Wang Yaqi hesitated for a moment, then gently murmured a "mwah" into the microphone.
Shen Yunqi was extremely comfortable.
He returned to the restaurant with light and graceful steps.
But the scene before him made his vision go black again and again.
His sweet and adorable sister clung to that annoying Si Jingxu like an octopus.
Shen Yanzhou and Aunt Jiang tried to pull him down, but they couldn't.
Afraid she would fall, Si Jingxu supported her legs with one hand and pressed down on her little head, which was desperately trying to burrow into his neck, with the other.
"Holy shit!" Shen Yunqi's temples throbbed, and he rushed over. "I fucking told you she can't drink! Are you all deaf?!"
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Shen Yanzhou's forehead.
Such a small person, but he's really energetic when he's drunk.
It stuck firmly to Si Jingxu's body.
"Yanzhou, don't pull her arm so hard, it's all red," Si Jingxu said, the least worried of all, as he effortlessly carried Yan Buyu in his arms. "How about I take the trouble and carry her to her room after she falls asleep?"
When Shen Yanzhou saw that Yan Buyu's arm was indeed red from being pulled, he felt extremely guilty and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Si Jingxu couldn't suppress the urge to smile. "We're all family, no need for formalities."
