Chapter 357 How Many Times Did You Hit Me?
"She said her name is Lin Xia," Shen Buyu gave another hint.
Upon hearing this name, Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow.
Then, glancing behind her, he asked in a lazy yet disdainful voice, "When did you get back? Where did you get the flowers?"
Shen Buyu turned around and followed.
After touching up her makeup, Lin Xia, holding the bouquet of flowers in her arms, waved gracefully to Si Jingxu, "Hi, my dear... little... nephew."
"Nephew?" Shen Buyu blurted out, unable to hide the surprise in his eyes.
“He’s her nephew, not yours.” Si Jingxu squeezed her palm. “Let me introduce you. She’s my maternal grandmother’s sister’s daughter, my cousin’s aunt, Lin Xia.”
Shen Buyu did the math and realized, "Oh, they're related by blood."
Oh no, she just said her aunt's makeup was caked up.
Damn it.
She chuckled twice and said, "Hello, sister."
Lin Xia raised a delicate eyebrow. "Sister? That can't be right, aren't you two dating?"
"We're just dating, so I won't call you by your seniority like Brother Jingxu for now. It'll make you sound old. Sister sounds better." Shen Buyu's voice was soft and sweet, like a well-behaved girl.
Lin Xia chuckled, "You weren't this well-behaved when you said my face was caked with powder in the bathroom earlier."
Shen Buyu blushed slightly and blinked, "I thought..."
"I knew you were bullying the child again. You talked nonsense in front of her and wouldn't let her say a few truths?" Si Jingxu got the gist of it and pulled Shen Buyu behind him. "Does my mom know you're back?"
Lin Xia chuckled, "The rumors are true, you're really protective of your own. But I won't hold it against a little sister. If anyone tries to sow discord between me and my man in front of me, I won't just talk about it. You're still too demure, little girl."
"Let's not talk about that nonsense. What's wrong with your flowers?" Si Jingxu was even more concerned than Chen Buyu.
The flowers he painstakingly arranged for his girlfriend almost became a weapon to make her jealous.
“Oh, this,” Lin Xia said with a smile, “I waved to you frantically at the mall this afternoon, but all you could see was this bouquet of flowers. I guessed you were going to give it to your girlfriend, so I went to the store and asked the clerk to wrap up an identical bouquet for me to tease you.”
Shen Buyu peeked out from behind Si Jingxu and carefully examined Lin Xia.
She looked only a few years older than Jingxu, beautiful and elegant, with a mature womanly charm.
Judging from the way they talk, they treat each other like peers.
"Little sister, are you angry?" Lin Xia winked at her.
“No,” Shen Buyu shook his head, “I won’t be angry once I know they’re one of our own.”
"Ah, I'm a little envious of you two," Lin Xia tilted her head. "So you two just say what's on your mind instead of keeping it bottled up and having disagreements? I was hoping for a surprise appearance."
As a result, the child even indirectly said that her skin was bad.
“It almost turned into a fright,” Si Jingxu gripped Shen Buyu’s hand tightly, glancing at Lin Xia. “Does he know you’re back?”
Lin Xia's expression changed slightly, but she quickly smiled again, "Who are you talking about?"
"Keep pretending, you'll mess things up sooner or later." Si Jingxu led Shen Buyu out, "We're going for a walk, you can do whatever you want."
"Little nephew," Lin Xia called out from behind him.
What are you doing?
"Little sister, let's add each other's contact information. I really like you. I'll be staying in Beijing for a while in the future, so we can hang out together, okay?" Lin Xia walked over and took out her phone.
Shen Buyu glanced at Si Jingxu, who nodded at her.
“Okay, sister,” Shen Buyu said generously, taking out her phone and praising her without reservation, “You’re so beautiful.”
Lin Xia hummed in agreement, "I know, but next time we meet, you can't say that your sister's makeup was caked up, okay? I hold grudges."
"No," Shen Buyu smiled apologetically, "You didn't have any makeup sticking out. I was just teasing you."
"Okay, I won't disturb your date anymore, I'm leaving now, bye~" Lin Xia blew a kiss to Shen Buyu, and walked gracefully ahead of the two of them in her high heels.
"So it's your aunt." Shen Buyu stared blankly at her back, thinking how beautiful she looked in that tight-fitting dress.
"He's only three years older than me," Si Jingxu grinned mischievously. "Want to watch the show?"
"What? What?" Shen Buyu's eyes lit up.
In the car, Si Jingxu dialed Long Yu's number.
"Oh, the missing person has returned, Young Master Si finally dared to contact us. What's wrong? You only remembered your brothers after you finished your date with our kids?"
Long Yu started complaining the moment he opened his mouth.
“Buyu is beside me,” Si Jingxu continued, “Lin Xia is back.”
"Huh? My sister's here! Sister! Come over to Brother Longyu, there's something delicious I saved for you. Now that you're here, I don't need to have anyone bring it to you." Longyu shouted excitedly.
Then came a minute of silence.
After a long time, I fell silent because the signal was stuck.
"Brother Long Yu?" she called out tentatively.
"Ah... Jingxu, no, sister," Long Yu tried to remain calm, but his trembling voice betrayed him, "Jingxu just said, who came back?"
"It's Lin Xia, Brother Long Yu." Shen Buyu sensed a hint of gossip.
"Good girl, let me, let me, let me, let me wait a moment," Long Yu took two deep breaths, "Good girl, let Jingxu answer the phone."
Shen Buyu nudged Si Jingxu, who was watching the show with amusement, and whispered, "Talk to Brother Long Yu."
"Where are you?" Si Jingxu laughed happily after being hit by his girlfriend.
"Thai restaurant".
After hanging up the phone, Shen Buyu couldn't hold back any longer, "What's the relationship between Brother Long Yu and your aunt? Is it an open or secret crush? Have they ever dated?"
Si Jingxu leaned back in his chair, smiling as he looked at her, but remained silent.
"Say something!" Shen Buyu was anxious and restless. Seeing that he still had that smiling face, she pushed him again in her impatience.
This time, the instant she withdrew her hand, Si Jingxu grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest, a half-smile on his face, "How many times did you hit me?"
Shen Buyu was unsteady on her feet, her hand still clenched in his, so she could only lean against his chest in an ambiguous and passive position.
"I didn't, let go." She struggled desperately.
“You called me Si Jingxu that day,” Si Jingxu not only didn’t let go, but leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice low and husky, “Be good, call me again.”
Shen Buyu blushed deeply; even though he hadn't touched her, her ears felt unbearably hot.
The man's husky voice entered my ears, sending a tingling sensation through half of my body.
"Brother Jingxu, no," she said, not daring to look up, afraid he would see her face, which was flushed red, "Let go of my hand."
"Don't speak." Si Jingxu released her wrist and pulled her into his arms before she could run away. "Can I kiss you?"
Shen Buyu didn't speak or look up.
Si Jingxu lifted her chin, looked into her watery, shy eyes, and swallowed hard. "I want to kiss you, just once."
