Chapter 29 Arguing about this so late at night
Yan Buyu sat in the back of the car with Shen Yanzhou, still wearing Si Jingxu's coat.
"Big brother, wash these clothes when you get home, and then return them to Brother Jingxu for me." Yan Buyu sniffed, noticing the faint scent of sandalwood mixed with a hint of tobacco on the clothes.
It smells a lot like him.
It smells quite nice.
Shen Yanzhou responded, "You don't need to give me the things I received today. I'll go out and have fun with my friends later."
When he got home, Shen Yunqi was not there.
He remained silent, feeling uneasy.
Her brother's girlfriend didn't like her, and even hated her.
This realization plunged her originally cheerful mood to rock bottom.
She didn't understand why, and she didn't know who to ask.
He wasn't that close to his older brother yet, and besides, he and his brother didn't get along to begin with.
I told my mom that distant water can't quench immediate thirst, and it would only spoil her vacation mood.
Qin Nianke was preoccupied with the handsome young man and couldn't care less about her right now.
I dragged my heavy steps back to the bedroom.
As Si Jingxu hung up his coat and was taking off his formal attire, his phone rang.
A voice call from 'Brother Jingxu'.
He frowned, reluctant to answer, but the person on the other end persisted.
I typed it over and over again.
Is something urgent?
"If they call again, I'll answer," he told himself, staring silently at his phone screen.
Si Jingxu was very patient.
After he called for the third time, the other end answered quickly.
The girl's soft, sweet voice said, "Hello."
After taking a shower, Si Jingxu casually put on a bathrobe and tied the belt around his waist haphazardly.
He leaned back on the sofa, a glass of whiskey beside him. Hearing her voice, he curled his lips slightly. "Asleep?"
"Not yet, I'm ready," Yan Buyu replied softly. "Is there something you need?"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow.
Does this mean don't contact me unless necessary?
But he really did have something to do.
“Hmm,” Si Jingxu took a sip of his drink. The ice cubes in his glass were clear and bright, like her eyes. He said slowly, “I can’t find my watch. See if it’s in your coat pocket.”
Without saying a word, alarm bells rang in his mind.
Is this some kind of extortion attempt?!
She jogged over in her slippers and eventually found the watch in the left pocket of her coat.
She quickly replied, "Yes, I found it."
Now he won't have a chance to extort money from people.
Hearing her running, Si Jingxu's smile widened. "Then I'll come find you and get it back tomorrow."
"I'll have my brother take it to you. You should also wash your clothes and send them over tomorrow." No matter what, you should at least show him this much politeness.
She spoke slowly and softly, her words tickling his heart like a hook.
I want to see her right now.
Si Jingxu put down his wine glass. "Have you washed up?"
This question stumped Yan Buyu. She frowned and said, "I'll go right away."
"How long do you usually spend washing up?" he asked again.
He remained silent.
My friend, you've crossed a line a bit.
Si Jingxu also realized that these words were somewhat impolite to their current relationship.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Here's the thing, I need to wear this watch tomorrow. I'll go get it now. You can wash up first, so it won't disturb your sleep."
That's a plausible explanation.
Yan Buyu's mind worked surprisingly fast for once. "Then I'll give the things to the housekeeper. You can just go find him when you come down."
This time, it was Si Jingxu's turn to remain silent.
He didn't like her using such a quick reaction on herself.
He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and called to her softly, "Silence."
"Um."
"I lent you these clothes, shouldn't you return them to me in person? That's just politeness."
Silence: ...
The time is set for one hour later.
After silently taking a shower and drying her hair, her phone rang without her noticing.
She pressed the answer button, "Hello."
"Go downstairs," Si Jingxu said succinctly. "Put on a coat; it's windy."
"oh."
Everyone in the family was asleep. Yan Buyu clutched his watch in his hand and draped his coat over his arm.
Stepping out of the villa, I could see Si Jingxu's Rolls-Royce parked outside from a distance.
He changed his clothes, leaned against the car door, a cigarette between his right fingers. The white smoke quickly dissipated, making him appear even more aloof.
The top few buttons of his white shirt were undone, and the collar was open, revealing his strong collarbone and full chest muscles.
He raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly without saying a word.
You wouldn't guess from what he's wearing normally, but Si Jingxu actually has a really good figure.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
Your chest muscles are well-developed, but I wonder if you have abs or if your lower back is strong enough...
Realizing what he was thinking, Yan Buyu cursed himself twice.
It's all Qin Nianke's fault; she takes her to watch suggestive videos of muscular men every day.
She scrolled through the comments until her brain turned yellow.
I coughed lightly to suppress the inappropriate thoughts.
Take a few quick steps and open the courtyard gate.
"Brother Jingxu".
The girl was wearing a white silk nightgown underneath a long-sleeved tracksuit.
They don't match, but he likes them very much.
I threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, straightened up, and smelled a pleasant peach aroma.
It was brought from her.
Not perfume, but shower gel or shampoo?
Si Jingxu's eyes dimmed slightly. "Walk slowly, don't run."
Without saying a word, she handed him her coat, saying, "Thank you for your coat."
After he accepted it, he stretched out his right hand.
Si Jingxu lowered his eyes; his watch lay on the girl's fair hand.
Her hands weren't big; her watch took up half of her palm.
"Your watch, Brother Jingxu." She reminded him when she saw that Si Jingxu hadn't moved for a while.
Si Jingxu lowered his eyes, his expression blank. "Mm."
He reached out and picked up the watch, his fingertips lightly brushing against her palm, and watched with satisfaction as she subconsciously pulled her hand away because of the tickling sensation.
A smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he rubbed his palms together. "Then I'll go back, Brother Jingxu."
"What did you call me?" Si Jingxu stuffed his watch into his pocket and tilted his head to stare at her.
Why fuss about this so late at night?
The phrase "able to bend and stretch" can be understood from the fact that one can remain silent.
Without a trace of doubt or resistance, she called out crisply, "Brother Jingxu."
That's so well-behaved.
You can't even have a few words exchanged with her.
Si Jingxu opened the car door, took out a thermal bag from the car and handed it to her, "I noticed you didn't eat much tonight. This is what my housekeeper made. Pick something you like and eat it. Don't go to bed hungry."
He remained silent and did not respond.
I'm mentally searching for an excuse to refuse.
"It's just a bite to eat, don't worry about it, and you don't need to return the insulated box. Consider it a thank you for helping Qin Nianke." Si Jingxu held out his hand to her.
She avoided his hand and took the bag without saying a word. "Thank you, Brother Jingxu."
Her nightgown was just past her knees.
The silk fabric clung to her body, giving her a somewhat feminine look.
A gentle breeze blew by, stirring her skirt and also unsettling his heart.
A wave of heat washed over me.
Si Jingxu waved his hand, "Go back, eat and go to sleep."
He said goodbye without a word and turned away without a trace of lingering affection.
Her calves were white, straight, and tender.
I was hoping to see her go back and get some sleep, but now I can't sleep at all.
