Chapter 248 I'll go to He Run's plate and snatch some meat for you?
Zhou Yixiao and Qin Nianke arrived at the same time, and they agreed to go together to choose a gift for Shen Yunqi.
After thanking her, Shen Yunqi accepted the gift. His first thought was: he was really benefiting from his sister's fame.
If his former drinking buddies knew how well he was doing now, a lot of them would be jealous and resentful, and very few would genuinely congratulate him.
You still need to choose the right circle of friends.
However, he was luckier and chose the right sister.
He Run and Qi Feng entered one after the other.
The gift was generous yet conventional.
"Yunqi, where's my sister? I can't see her." He Run was still carrying a bag in his hand, looking around without saying a word.
"She's not talking. She went to the garden with her girlfriends to gossip." Shen Yunqi pointed outside.
Yan Buyu held the box of melon seeds, while Zhou Yixiao carried a fruit plate.
The two of them stared wide-eyed at Qin Nianke, listening to her gossip.
Mu Zi stood not far behind, holding a game console, her eyes fixed on the screen, but her ears perked up.
“Let me tell you! Today a girl came to the school to find me and said that she and Huo Chen are engaged. They are childhood sweethearts and she wants me to break up with Huo Chen.”
"Huh? Is that so? Did you two fight? Did you suffer any losses?" Yan Buyu quickly put down the melon seeds and checked Qin Nianke.
"No," Qin Nianke waved her hand, "I can't be bothered with her. I don't even know where she came from. Why would I bother with her?"
"So, does she have a relationship with Huo Chen? Did Huo Chen know she came to your door? How did that girl know your information and address?" Zhou Yixiao asked.
“I called Huo Chen right away, and the three of us confronted each other,” Qin Nianke said, grabbing a handful of sunflower seeds. “Huo Chen said that it was just a joke his family made when they were kids, that the two of them had no relationship, and that he didn’t have much contact with that girl.”
As for news about her, the girl said no, she only found out by accidentally overhearing Huo Chen mentioning it to his friends.
"Ah, so that means you've known this girl since childhood and have a crush on her?" Yan Buyu scratched his head. "But something feels off to me."
"Huo Chen even yelled at her. Didn't you see how she reacted? She ran away crying." Qin Nianke smiled sweetly. "Ah, my Huo Chen is just so lovable."
Yan Buyu: "You talk more about praising Huo Chen than gossiping about him."
Zhou Yixiao handed Yan Buyu a slice of watermelon, saying, "Warning: This is purely a bragging post."
The three chatted for a while and were about to go back to their house when they turned around and were startled.
Just now it was only Mu Zi alone, but now He Run and Qi Feng are here too.
They all craned their necks and listened intently.
Qin Nianke paused for a moment, wondering if she had mentioned anything related to pornography.
"When did you arrive?" Yan Buyu stood up, her delicate brows furrowed. "It's not good to eavesdrop on people's conversations."
"I didn't hear you," He Run smiled awkwardly, reaching out to hand over the bag in his hand. "I've felt guilty ever since I caused you to get mushroom poisoning last time, so I picked out a small gift for you. Please accept it, little sister."
"Brother He Run, I already said there's no need for this."
Yan Buyu declined several times, but couldn't resist He Run's insistence, so she had no choice but to accept it.
Qi Feng approached Zhou Yixiao with a fawning smile, "Xiaoxiao, how about I take you home tonight?"
"Oh no, we've started driving. Mr. Qi, don't worry about it."
Qin Nianke walked over to Yan Buyu and asked He Run, "He Tian just returned to the country a few days ago, why is she leaving again? Did you two have a fight?"
He Run replied weakly, "This time it wasn't me. My mom wanted to lose weight, so she drank vegetable soup every day at home and forced me and He Tian to drink it together. She drank one bowl and then bought a plane ticket and left that very night. I, on the other hand, drank it for six meals."
He looked pale and sickly after drinking it.
"Have you lost weight?" Yan Buyu asked.
“I lost five pounds in two days,” He Run said, then quickly added, “but now I want to bite people whenever I see them. You guys better not try it, it’s deadly.”
The room was full of people, none of whom were friends or acquaintances; they were all my closest and most trusted friends.
Skip the tedious opening ceremony and get right to eating, drinking, and having fun.
Long Yu knew that Yan Buyu loved beef, so he specially set up a pot to grill it on the spot.
As a result, He Run stayed put with the meat and vegetables, eating like a zombie who hadn't eaten for months.
After finalizing the other menu items and drinks, Shen Yanzhou went over to tell Yan Buyu and Si Jingxu, who was watching over her, what they could and couldn't drink.
As the main character of the day, Shen Yunqi had no choice but to toast and thank everyone, just like an adult.
Qin Nianke pulled Zhou Yixiao to sit away from her cousin, watching Qi Feng fawn over her.
Yan Buyu leaned on Si Jingxu's shoulder and watched the commotion at home.
“Brother Jingxu.”
"Um?"
“People really do change,” she said.
She used to be socially anxious and hated crowded places.
She avoids such gatherings whenever possible, and if she can't avoid them, she finds a corner to hide in.
But now, the scene before her eyes made her happy.
She actually started to enjoy the party.
“Hmm,” Si Jingxu responded softly, “Your mindset determines the kind of people you attract. Bu Yu, you are excellent, and the people you attract are also excellent.”
There was a strange energy sensation in the darkness.
“You guys always praise me like this, and I’ve started to believe it,” Yan Buyu chuckled. “I really am amazing, aren’t I?”
“Of course,” Si Jingxu said, holding her hand. “You are quick learners, kind and sincere. Everyone who gets along with you will like you.”
He spoke in a low voice, slowly listing all the girl's good qualities.
She was getting a little carried away with her words, "But why didn't you say I'm pretty?"
"Being pretty is just the least noticeable of your many virtues." Si Jingxu kissed her forehead. "Are you hungry? I'll go get some meat from He Run's plate for you?"
"Forget it," Yan Buyu glanced at it, "Even if we roasted Brother Long Yu, it might not be enough for Brother He Run to eat."
"So don't try to lose weight. You'll ruin your stomach. It's not worth it," Si Jingxu said, putting some noodles on her plate. "Why don't you start learning combat sports during winter break? I think Mu Zi can teach you."
"Okay, I'll practice for two months and then spar with you." Yan Buyu turned around and smiled at Mu Zi, saying, "Mu Zi, you'll be my boxing coach during my winter break."
Mu Zi nodded.
Yi-ge probably also hopes that Miss will learn something to protect herself.
Mu Zi stared intently at the silent figure behind him.
The brother and sister, when they occasionally speak, have one or two expressions that are exactly the same.
If Miss grew up with Brother Yi from a young age, she would definitely be cherished and pampered by him.
It's a pity, fate is cruel.
After finishing their candlelight dinner, Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan strolled hand in hand along the riverbank, chatting and laughing.
A man walked towards them, smiling and greeting them, "Zhiye, sister-in-law."
Shen Zhiye was taken aback. "Shuchen? When did you return to the country?"
He hasn't been back to China for years, saying he's afraid of being reminded of his wife's painful past, and that it would be quite frightening if he suddenly appeared.
Song Shuchen sighed helplessly, "It's not for my wife. Qingzhi said she had a dream that our daughter is still alive, and she insists that I come back to investigate the truth."
