Chapter 231 Are you afraid I can't support the family?
Yan entered the house without saying a word and immediately began to worry about Si Jingxu.
When his older brother helped him walk just now, he didn't look too good.
My aunt and uncle are both at home, and I want to go see them, but I'm a little embarrassed.
Just as I was getting anxious, my phone received a voice message.
Jingxu's brother: "Honey, I'm fine. Go wash up first, and video call me when you're done."
His voice was as deep and pleasant as ever, showing no signs of the drunkenness he had displayed earlier.
“Brother Jingxu, you’re a little liar.” Yan Buyu replied with a voice message, and then happily went to wash up.
An hour later, I came out feeling refreshed, and my phone rang at just the right moment.
She chuckled softly, took off her shoes, and jogged to the bed to answer the video call.
"Who are you calling a little liar?" Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow.
“I’m talking about you,” Yan Buyu said, her eyes crinkling into a sweet smile, “you pretended to be drunk to fool my uncle, you completely fooled me.”
The girl had just finished showering; her fair face was flushed, and her long, soft hair was loosely draped over her shoulders. She was as well-behaved as she was.
She was very happy, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tiny lights, like the most beautiful galaxies in the night sky, making people involuntarily fall into their gaze.
Si Jingxu took a deep breath, his voice slightly hoarse, "Hmm? I wouldn't dare to fool my future father-in-law. I'm just worried that he'll feel unwell if he drinks too much, and my girlfriend will feel sorry for him."
"Who is your future father-in-law? Don't talk nonsense." Yan Buyu blushed and glared at him.
With a coquettish yet reproachful gaze, coupled with the girl's stunningly beautiful face when she was shy, Si Jingxu's heart was pounding. He leaned closer to the screen and asked, "Can I ask to go over and give you a kiss?"
"Don't even think about it!" Yan Buyu said sternly. "I'm warning you, you're not allowed to come any closer!"
She still has a sense of shame!
The warning sounded like a childish plea to Si Jingxu, lacking any real force.
"How fierce, Miss Silent," Si Jingxu pouted. "I know, I'm not going, I'm not going. Sleeping with anger makes it easy to have nightmares."
Speaking of nightmares, Yan Buyu thought of something.
"Brother Jingxu, do you think Ruan Censhu will pursue the matter now that Yan Qihang is dead?"
A wealthy woman with a bit of money, whose husband died under mysterious circumstances, and who is currently infatuated with Yan Qihang, is unlikely to let the matter rest.
"You don't need to worry about this, just leave it to me," Si Jingxu reassured her. "Brother Jingxu loves handling these kinds of things the most."
Yan Buyu said apologetically, "You've been busy with my things lately, which has taken up a lot of your time. You haven't been able to work properly."
"Oh," Si Jingxu exclaimed softly, "Are you worried that I can't support the family? Don't worry, Brother Jingxu will go to the company and work hard tomorrow."
She remained silent and ignored him, even though that wasn't what she meant, he always managed to bring it up in the end.
Si Jingxu had teased his girlfriend enough, so he became a bit more serious. "I didn't sleep well last night, and I've been up all day today. It's late, let's turn off the lights."
"Okay. You should get some rest too, you drank so much tonight."
"Keep your phone on by your bedside, and Brother Jingxu will tell you a story."
She obediently did as he said, having recently become somewhat reliant on his nighttime companionship.
Si Jingxu also turned off the lights and closed his eyes, and his story flowed effortlessly.
It's neither a fairy tale nor a classic; it's all about what these friends did when they were kids.
Yan Buyu was very envious of their relationship.
"I envy you two. You've been together since you were little, and your relationship is still so good now." Her voice was soft and low, tinged with weariness.
“We also envy your relationship with Shen Yunqi. Every family has brothers and sisters, but none are as close as yours.” Si Jingxu made no attempt to hide his envy. “I wish you had been in my family since you were little.”
"I don't want to. Nianke is so afraid of you. If I go to your house, I'll be even more afraid of you than she is. I'll have to walk close to the wall every day." Yan Buyu chuckled twice.
Si Jingxu's lips curved into a beautiful smile; that scene, to be honest, was quite amusing.
"No way, my parents will spoil you rotten."
He didn't receive a reply from his girlfriend. He lay back down, closed his eyes, and whispered, "Goodnight, Little Feather. Jingxu loves you so much."
When Yan Buyu woke up the next day, his phone had already shut down due to a power outage.
He was probably asleep and hadn't hung up the phone.
This feeling is somewhat ambiguous, yet also somewhat stirring.
She was a person with a deep-seated insecurity, but Si Jingxu seemed to be able to understand all her little quirks.
She really appreciates this kind of companionship.
After washing up and going downstairs, Lan Xinyan called to her, "My daughter is awake. Come and have some breakfast. Let's discuss where to go for fun."
Shen Zhiye got his future son-in-law drunk, a feat that made him feel refreshed. "Buyu, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Yan Buyu's head spun around for a moment. "Huh? Are we going out?"
Shen Yunqi came up behind her, pressed her little head and turned her to face him, "Don't look anymore, Si Jingxu left early this morning, saying he had to go back to the company."
"Who's looking for him? I'm looking for my older brother," Yan Buyu stubbornly replied.
Shen Yanzhou stood up from the sofa cooperatively and smiled gently, "Big brother is here, let's eat first."
"Oops." Yan Buyu stuck out her tongue at Shen Yunqi, then ran into Lan Xinyan's arms. "Are we going out to play?"
“Yes, it’s not the weekend, and you’re all at home. Your uncle and I just discussed it, and the five of us have never gone out together before, so we’re thinking of organizing a family getaway. We’re just wondering where to go.”
Shen Yunqi simply brought her breakfast over, "Let's eat and talk."
Going out to play is bound to be fun.
Not to mention that the five of them have never gone out together, even before the eldest brother came back, the four of them had never gone out together.
“It’s all my brother’s fault for being rebellious. He was so unruly back then,” Yan Buyu took the opportunity to complain to his older brother. “Sometimes I couldn’t even find him.”
Shen Yanzhou nodded. He hadn't forgotten the scene when his sister limped into the disco looking for a floral shirt the day he returned to China.
"Yan Buyu, that's enough, don't bring up the past," Shen Yunqi pinched her cheek, "I just brought you breakfast!"
"Su Su!" Yan Buyu was so pulled that he could barely speak.
Shen Zhiye stood up and kicked Shen Yunqi in the butt, saying, "You only know how to bully your sister, why don't you dare to bully your brother?"
"Old Shen, that's enough. You're moving so fast, be careful you don't hurt your back." Shen Yunqi let go of his hand and rubbed his sister's cheek. "I can't bear to use too much force."
"Didn't you try? Your mouth is drooping!"
Lan Xinyan beckoned Shen Yanzhou over, "Let them make a scene, let's discuss this. Yanzhou, how about this place?"
Shen Yanzhou looked at it and smiled, "This place is very nice, Aunt Lan. We've been here before. This is Long Yu's place. The weather is perfect for going now."
With hot springs and mountain views, and not far away, a two-day trip wouldn't interfere with Shen Yunqi's contract signing on Monday.
“Let’s do it here. I’ll go have them pack some things,” Lan Xinyan stood up, glanced at Shen Zhiye who was still arguing with the child, and said to Shen Yanzhou, “Have your dad take his calcium tablets later.”
"Okay, Aunt Lan."
