Chapter 261 was not caused by you, nor was it your wish.
Yan Buyu paused for a moment, stunned.
She looked at Song Jingyi and asked, "Why should I blame you?"
“I found you too late, and you suffered a lot.” Song Jingyi looked at his sister across from him.
Her hair was disheveled by the wind, and I instinctively wanted to reach out and help her fix it, but I didn't dare to take a step forward.
"How old are you?" Yan Buyu asked him, tilting his head back.
Song Jingyi didn't understand, but he still obediently answered, "Twenty-nine."
“I’m twenty-one, you’re twenty-nine, you’re only eight years older than me.” Yan Buyu said slowly, “An eight-year-old child can’t just believe whatever adults say.”
That day, after overhearing Song Jingyi's conversation with her uncle outside the study, she went back to her room and thought a lot.
Based on my own speculation, it's probably because my biological mother and father had a conflict.
When she was heartbroken, she met Yan Qihang, who specialized in swindling divorced rich women.
She knew that Yan Qihang had switched her with another woman so that he could scam her out of money again.
In his previous life, the Song family moved to Italy, and Yan Qihang didn't have the ability to find them.
In this life, Yan Qihang was sent to prison by his uncle as soon as he was reborn.
When she was brought to the Shen family, Song Jingyi was just a teenager. What could he possibly do?
He could only obey his parents.
They say if a child is their own, then it is; they say if they want to move, then they want to move.
"Did you already know of my existence during the banquet and come specifically to find me?" Yan Buyu asked again.
Song Jingyi nodded.
He couldn't describe how he felt.
He had imagined countless scenarios of his sister recognizing him, including accusations, reproaches, and even hatred and insults.
This kind of understanding and comfort was something he never dared to dream of.
But that's exactly what happened.
The girl in front of me was thin and small; standing there, she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Her eyes were bright and watery, and her soft yet firm voice spoke slowly and clearly.
Those words struck Song Jingyi's heart like a hammer blow.
“Little Fish,” Song Jingyi’s voice choked for a moment, “I still hope you blame me.”
He repeatedly blamed himself late at night for discovering it too late.
The suffering my sister may have endured in her past life, and the abuse she experienced as a child in this life.
He could only think of one image, and his heart felt like it was being burned by fire.
He wanted to hear her scold him or blame him, as if saying the word "bad" would make him feel better.
With her hands behind her back, Yan Buyu smiled gently and said in a light tone, "No one would deliberately take the blame upon themselves. None of this was caused by you, nor was it what you wanted."
It wasn't caused by you, nor was it your wish.
The burning pain in my heart didn't seem so intense anymore.
The Shen family raised her very well.
They can distinguish right from wrong, understand principles, and know how to be grateful.
It's something that doesn't exist in the Song family's genes.
While Yan Buyu was chatting with Song Jingyi, the others in the distance, unaware of the truth, all looked towards Si Jingxu.
It would be strange if she didn't get jealous.
"Hey, Jingxu, why didn't you go over and check on her? That's not like you." Long Yu came over with dumplings, teasing, "When my sister usually talks to me, you practically have to squeeze in between her and block her."
“Why are you talking so much? Do you think I’m that petty?” Si Jingxu said, bowing his head to give Yan Buyu some chicken soup. “She’s free to make friends.”
Long Yu pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "I've known for a while that something's off about Song Jingyi. What's his relationship with my sister? They look a bit alike, are they related?"
"Pretty much. Don't say anything before Bu Yu says anything." Si Jingxu glanced at him with a hint of surprise. "You're quite observant."
“Hey,” Long Yu said proudly, “It’s about our child, so I only glanced at him a few more times. The most unusual thing is that you’re not jealous.”
Besides, they're from wealthy families; they've seen it all.
It's not hard to guess with a little thought.
It's probably one of their child's relatives who came looking for them.
One is surnamed Yan, and the other is surnamed Song; they are probably children from the younger sister's biological mother's side.
It's either from my uncle's family or my aunt's family.
Si Jingxu didn't listen to what Long Yu thought about next.
He walked about five meters away from the two siblings and called out, "Dinner's ready."
Without saying a word, he turned his head and said, "I understand."
She then looked at Song Jingyi and said, "Let's go get something to eat."
Song Jingyi nodded. "Okay, let's eat."
Yan Buyu walked ahead, three meters away from Song Jingyi.
Just as she was about to walk up to Si Jingxu, a sudden force from behind pushed her into Si Jingxu's arms.
Si Jingxu caught her steadily, held her tightly, and looked at Song Jingyi with a sudden change in expression. He growled, "Watch out!"
Yan Buyu immediately turned her head, and the scene in front of her startled her.
A two-meter-long, baby-arm-thick golden ring snake was coiled around Song Jingyi's right hand.
He gripped the snake's head tightly, glanced at Yan Buyu, and after confirming that she was alright, he flicked his right hand, causing the snake's head and tail to droop.
"Is that snake poisonous?" Yan Buyu asked nervously, tugging at Si Jingxu's arm.
"How is Jingyi?" Si Jingxu comforted her without saying a word, told Shen Yanzhou to watch over her, and walked to Song Jingyi's side.
"It's nothing," Song Jingyi said calmly. "This snake's appearance is strange. Check what happened. Is Xiaoyu alright?"
Just now, when he was walking behind and saw the snake in the tree open its mouth to attack Yan Buyu, God knows how panicked he was.
"She's fine, how about you?" Si Jingxu glanced at her, then frowned. "Bitened?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Buyu rushed over immediately.
There were two shallow, pinkish scratches on the web of Song Jingyi's right hand, but they were not bleeding.
"That was a poisonous snake! Should we...should we go to the hospital? Or call for emergency help?" Yan Buyu was filled with anxiety, his mind replaying the image of the snake coiled around his arm.
"Little fish, it's okay, it didn't bite." Song Jingyi was relaxed; his sister was worried about him.
"Big brother! Big brother!" she called to Shen Yanzhou behind her, "Let's call 120! Brother Jingxu, does your hospital have antivenom for this kind of venomous snake?"
Yan Buyu spoke faster than usual, and seemed a little flustered.
"Little Fish!" Song Jingyi stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder. "Look into my eyes."
She looked up and met his gaze without saying a word.
Song Jingyi spoke slowly, his voice firm and steady, "It's alright, little fish. It didn't bite, it just scratched you. It's nothing serious, no one will die, you know?"
"But, but..." Yan Buyu's eyes were brimming with tears. If it weren't for him, she would have been the one bitten.
"Hi~ beautiful lady, do you need me to help you with your problems?" Acheng appeared with a smug grin.
Then, he took out a syringe from the bag he was carrying. "Need antivenom? I have it. It can cure any snake venom. Give it to me."
Then he said to Song Jingyi, "Boss, I know it's nothing, but to put Miss at ease, you should take the injection."
After saying that, he raised the syringe and injected the serum into Song Jingyi's body.
He stared blankly, speechless. "You carry serum with you?"
