Chapter 37 Do I need something from you?
Shen Yanzhou pushed open Yan Buyu's bedroom door and paused for a moment.
He lay in bed, sleeping soundly without saying a word.
She gripped Si Jingxu's hand tightly with both of hers.
Si Jingxu, who always hated being touched, did not push her away irritably; instead, he gently patted her back with his other hand.
He looked down at her face, but couldn't see what was in her eyes.
But she radiates a gentle, maternal glow.
Shen Yanzhou's brows relaxed.
Yes.
After being hugged and called for his mother by his well-behaved younger sister twice in a row, Si Jingxu's heart must have softened.
"Jingxu, how is she?" Shen Yanzhou walked over and asked in a low voice.
Si Jingxu shushed her, slowly withdrew his hand from Yan Buyu's, and carefully covered her with the blanket.
He stared at her face for two seconds, then reached out and turned off her bedside lamp.
Only after they left the silent bedroom did they dare to continue speaking.
"Was she abused as a child?" Si Jingxu asked.
Shen Yanzhou shook his head. "I don't know. Didn't Shen Yunqi say last time that she had a hard time before? I guess it was because Aunt Lan suffered some grievances before she married into the family."
His eyes were full of pity as he glanced at his sister's door and sighed.
Si Jingxu didn't say anything more.
What kind of life she lived before is probably only known to herself.
"She's like this after drinking, and you're still planning to keep it from her?" Si Jingxu asked Shen Yanzhou as he went downstairs.
Shen Yanzhou was also having a headache.
If we don't tell her, look how much she craves the wine.
What if we go out drinking again?
What if you're drinking and no one you know is around, and someone takes advantage of you?
Tell her...
She is sensitive and introverted, and when the time comes, she will only find a quiet corner to repeatedly dwell on the shadows of her childhood.
"Let's wait until Aunt Lan comes back and then discuss it with her."
After going downstairs, Long Yu and He Run were gone.
Only Qi Feng and Zhou Yixiao remained.
Zhou Yixiao stood up and asked with great concern, "How is Xiao Buyu?"
"It's alright, I've already gone to sleep," Shen Yanzhou replied.
Zhou Yixiao felt a little guilty. "I'm so sorry, I've never drunk with Xiao Buyu before, so I didn't know she was like this. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have let her drink."
Qi Feng chimed in from the side, "It's all Long Yu's fault, he was the one who yelled the loudest."
Shen Yanzhou smiled politely at Zhou Yixiao, "Qi Feng is right, it has nothing to do with you. Luckily you have a good relationship with Buyu, so she won't laugh at her."
Zhou Yixiao sighed slightly, "How could I laugh at her? She didn't laugh at me at all... I just feel sorry for her. She must have felt so wronged to cry like this after drinking."
Qi Feng put his arm around Zhou Yixiao's shoulder and said, "We'll just have to be nicer to Buyu in the future to make up for it."
They both left too.
“You’re going home? I’ll have the driver take you,” Shen Yanzhou said to Si Jing, who was sitting on the sofa.
Si Jingxu leaned back on the sofa with his eyes closed, his right elbow propping up his head, and didn't say a word.
"Jingxu?" Shen Yanzhou called out again.
"Ah," Si Jingxu slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly, "My head hurts, I don't want to move, want to sleep at your place?"
When they have a get-together at someone's house, if they drink too much, they usually stay overnight.
The house is spacious with many servants, so it's nothing special.
She slept soundly for a long time without saying a word.
The next morning, I sat up in bed and stretched, feeling like I'd forgotten something.
She carefully recalled what had happened last night.
It seems like there's nothing wrong.
But there was a thin veil over my heart; something was so close yet so hazy.
What exactly did she forget?
A strange feeling accompanied her as she washed up and changed her clothes.
She pushed open the door and bumped into the arms of a man in a suit.
"Big brother." She spoke instinctively.
"Don't speak, look up and see who I am." Si Jingxu's lazy voice came down from above her head.
Yan Buyu looked up at him in surprise, "Brother Jingxu, what are you doing in my house?"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. "Not welcome?"
"Uh...no," Yan Buyu took a step back, "You drank too much last night and slept at my place, didn't you?"
Si Jingxu scoffed lightly, "Who's drunk?"
After saying that, he started walking downstairs.
She followed behind him without saying a word.
He is tall and has a good physique.
The bespoke suit perfectly hugged his curves, making his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs even more striking.
His smoky gray hair made him look even more aloof.
Si Jingxu...
Si Jingxu?
Yan Buyu's handsome brows furrowed more and more tightly.
As I watched his retreating figure, a distant voice echoed in my mind, repeating his name.
What did she want to see Si Jingxu for?
Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't notice that the person in front of her had stopped.
She bumped straight into Si Jingxu's back.
The bridge of her nose was digging into his shoulder blade, and she gasped in pain.
Si Jingxu walked slowly ahead, feeling the intense gaze from behind him.
When Yan Buyu bumped into him, the corners of his lips curved into a beautiful smile.
He turned around with a smile, looking down at the girl with a red nose, feeling incredibly itchy inside. "Did you hurt yourself? You weren't done bumping into me, so you bumped into my back? Yan Buyu, even though I'm staying at your house for one night, you can't take advantage of me like this."
This person's ability to distort the truth is truly astounding.
Yan Buyu blushed at his words, "I didn't, why would I take advantage of you?"
Si Jingxu moved a step closer to her, "Why are you blushing?"
Yan Buyu looked into his eyes, paused for a moment, and blurted out, "Did I need something from you?"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow, his smile deepening.
Brainwashing after drinking can also be effective.
"Who knows? Is it to invite me to dinner? Tea? Or... something you need to talk to me about?" With that, he walked downstairs with cheerful steps.
Need to talk to him?
It's okay.
Yan Buyu shook his head, trying to clear the jumbled thoughts from his mind.
She needs to eat quickly; she has class today.
The man who had been teasing her earlier was now seated in the restaurant and talking to Shen Yanzhou.
Yan Buyu sat down in her seat and asked the housekeeper, "Didn't my brother come back last night?"
The butler replied, "The second young master returned late last night and hasn't gotten up yet."
"Oh." Yan Buyu sighed softly.
"I'll take you home later." Shen Yanzhou gestured for her to eat quickly. "I won't let you be late."
"Okay, thank you, brother." Yan Buyu ate his food silently without saying a word.
Si Jingxu glanced at her but said nothing more.
When Si Jingxu was taking the car to school, his driver picked him up.
Yan Buyu still felt uneasy, so she asked Shen Yanzhou beside her, "Brother, what did I do last night?"
Shen Yanzhou put down the documents in his hand and asked her in return, "What do you remember?"
"I only remember Brother Longyu letting me try the wine he brought, and then I don't know anything else," she answered earnestly.
"Buyu, have you ever thought that it's a serious matter that you don't remember anything after drinking?"
