Chapter 373 She said she would spend some time alone with me.
Acheng was much more straightforward than him, cheerfully rushing into the kitchen. "Miss, what are you making? It smells so good! Is there any for me? Thank you, Miss."
"Jingyi, sit down and wait a moment, the noodles will be ready soon," Shen Yunqi said, treating Song Jingyi as an outsider. "I've prepared some hot water for you."
"Yunqi, thank you."
"We're all family, no need to be so polite. I won't say anything more, give me two eggs later." Shen Yunqi chuckled. "You're only back temporarily, so you'll probably stay for a while."
Song Jingyi glanced in the direction of the kitchen. "I'll stay for a while. Once the business is finished, I can rest for a bit."
"That's great, I always think of you even without saying a word."
Chen Mo returned to the car, opened the trunk, and took out the gift he had brought specifically for the young lady.
With nothing to do, Zeming decided to feed the fish in the yard.
After much deliberation, fearing that A-Cheng might badmouth her, Mu Zi also went into the kitchen.
"Miss, how did you know I wasn't here?" She cautiously approached Shen Buyu and casually picked up a scallion to chop.
"I don't know either. I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and wanted to check on you, but I saw that your door wasn't closed properly. When I went in, I realized you weren't there." Shen Buyu was stirring the noodles in the pot.
"Oh." Mu Zi didn't dare to say anything, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Acheng suddenly yelled, "You just chopped that woman with a knife, did you even wash your hands before chopping scallions?!?"
"Silent and speechless"—what kind of adjectives are these?
"I washed it!" Mu Zi roared at A Cheng, then lowered her voice by a hundred degrees and looked at Chen Buyu, "Miss, I washed it clean."
"It's fine as long as it's washed, it's fine as long as it's washed." Shen Buyu had a headache. "Bring a bowl and serve the noodles."
"Boss, the noodles Miss cooked smell so good, come quick! Young Master Chen, come on!" Acheng ignored everyone and started eating standing up with his bowl.
"Don't move, I'll take it." Shen Yunqi shouted and rushed into the kitchen.
"Brother, wash your hands and eat." Shen Buyu didn't know if Song Jingyi had cut anything, so she reminded him as she walked out of the kitchen.
Song Jingyi chuckled softly, "Alright."
Shen Buyu looked around. "Hey, I think I just saw Ze Ming. Where is he?"
Ah Cheng had already finished half a bowl of noodles. "They're feeding the fish outside. I'll call him."
Ze Ming never expected that he would have a bowl of noodles like this.
He wasn't as familiar with Miss as Chen Mo and A-Cheng, much less with Mu Zi.
He thought...
"Eat quickly, we can cook more if you're not full, there's plenty of noodles." Shen Buyu sat down next to Song Jingyi.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Song Jingyi saw that she was sweating profusely as she worked, but there was nothing in front of her.
"I'll go home for breakfast later," Shen Buyu said, propping his head up with one hand. "Brother, you should eat."
Song Jingyi looked down at his bowl, a simple clear soup noodle dish, with sesame oil and scallions floating on top, the aroma mingling with the steam.
It tasted like the plain noodles his grandmother used to make, just as he remembered it.
It smells so good.
I picked up a noodle and took a big bite; the taste was surprisingly good.
The little fish had a perfect grasp of the seasonings.
Salty, savory, and fragrant, it perfectly suited his taste.
No wonder Shen Yanzhou and Si Jingxu, people who are used to countless delicacies, would post a picture of their sister's noodles on their social media to show off.
Acheng had finished his first bowl and, looking embarrassed, held the empty bowl up to Chen Buyu. "Miss, you said there was still a lot left?"
“There’s plenty, I’ll cook it for you, who else wants it?” Shen Buyu immediately got up and went to the kitchen.
They ate a late-night snack until almost dawn. As the sky began to lighten, Chen Buyu started yawning.
After saying goodbye to Song Jingyi, they took Mu Zi and followed Shen Yunqi back to the Shen family.
She can sleep for another two hours.
"Just go to sleep. It's the weekend. Just tell them not to wake you," Shen Yunqi said, feeling sorry for her and rubbing her head. "When you wake up, I'll cook you wontons."
“No, that won’t do,” Shen Buyu said, her eyes heavy with sleep. “I made an appointment with Brother Jingxu today, and I can’t stand him up.”
Si Jingxu waited for her for a long time over the weekend.
She had already promised to spend a weekend with him without any team-building activities.
Taking a nap after waking up is the hardest thing to control the timing of.
She had set her alarm for 7 a.m., but when she opened her eyes and saw that the screen showed 10 a.m., she was still a little stunned.
Strangely, Si Jingxu did not look for her.
After changing her clothes, she went downstairs, where only Lan Xinyan was in the living room.
"Baby's awake! Are you hungry? Shall I cook you some wontons?"
"Mom, I'm not hungry. Didn't Brother Jingxu come today?" She looked around. "Where's Dad? Where are my older brother and brother?"
"Your dad went to play ball with Uncle Si, your eldest brother and older brother went to Jingyi's courtyard, and Jingxu is there too." Lan Xinyan was applying a face mask. "I've arranged to meet Aunt Wen for lunch, and I'll be leaving soon. Go find your brothers."
"Okay, I understand."
Song Jingyi's courtyard was more lively than usual.
Some were drinking tea, some were practicing martial arts, and others were walking their dogs and feeding the fish.
"So, the person was sent back?" Si Jingxu said, somewhat surprised. "That's not like you."
Song Jingyi poured himself a cup of tea. “I had no choice. My sister called me late at night, so how could I not listen to her? Besides, my sister is right. That kind of trash should be dealt with by the law. There’s no need for me to handle it.”
Just as Shen Yanzhou picked up his teacup, he suddenly realized in an instant what he was like when he was showing off his younger sister.
No wonder my friends said that; it was just too obvious.
Si Jingxu was already used to it. "She said she wanted to spend some time alone with me."
Shen Yanzhou and Song Jingyi smiled at the same time without saying anything.
"Jinbao and Yinbao!" Shen Buyu greeted his two furry children as soon as he entered the door.
After she had petted each of the two puppies ten times fairly, they obediently continued playing frisbee with Ze Ming.
She spotted the three people drinking tea in the courtyard at a glance.
The way Si Jingxu looked at her... seemed to be waiting for her to pat his head as well.
“Brother, brother,” she sat down next to Si Jingxu, “why didn’t you call me?”
"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Si Jingxu touched her hand, which was warm. "Yunqi said you didn't sleep until dawn."
"I slept enough, I woke up naturally," Shen Buyu said, picking up a snack from the table and taking a bite. "Shall we go?"
Si Jingxu was only halfway through reciting the word "good" when he heard Long Yu's hurried voice outside the door.
"Girl! Girl!"
Si Jingxu closed his eyes and said, "Okay."
Their romantic getaway for two is ruined again.
Song Jingyi and Shen Yanzhou lightly clinked their teacups together and smiled at each other.
Long Yu entered the room, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, though they were a bit wrinkled.
Holding a tablet in her hand, with the same smile she wore last night, she headed straight for Chen Buyu with a clear purpose. "Little sister, the date is set. Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Shen Buyu looked at Long Yu in surprise, "Brother Long Yu, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
