Chapter 376 I only hope my little feather has a whole host of skills
After too many team-building dates, Chen Buyu sometimes longs for time alone with someone.
Everything about Si Jingxu was just right for her.
I like his broad chest, I like the smell of him, and I like the veins on his hands that are slightly bulging.
The two, determined to stay together, finished their hotpot and then snuggled on the sofa to watch a movie.
“Doesn’t this idiot look like Long Yu?” Si Jingxu said, pointing to a character from the movie.
But he received no response.
He looked down and smiled silently.
The person who had been quiet for half a day was now fast asleep in his arms.
He tilted his head, gently kissed her forehead, slowly got up, and gently lifted her up in his arms.
Shen Buyu slept soundly and had a long-awaited afternoon nap.
I didn't even dream about it.
I woke up in my warm bed, stretched, and then realized something was wrong.
A person who has just woken up may feel a moment of confusion.
She thought she was in her bedroom at home.
She sat up and looked at the room's layout and the dark blue silk bedding before realizing where she might be.
This was the first time she had entered Si Jingxu's bedroom.
The black and gray tones match the overall style of his villa.
She turned to get out of bed, but froze as she tried to pull back the covers.
Her photo was prominently displayed on the bedside table.
That was when she turned eighteen; it was the day her parents held her coming-of-age ceremony.
In the side profile photo, she is wearing a dress, with her hands behind her back, leaning slightly forward, smiling as if looking at something.
It was captured in that instant.
The door was pushed open, and Si Jingxu's lips curled up. "Do you remember who you were smiling at?"
"I forgot." Shen Buyu tilted his head and tried to recall, but he couldn't remember at all.
“A little chubby boy.” Si Jingxu walked to the bedside and sat down. “He went to a banquet with his family, got lost, and was squatting on the ground crying when a kind fairy sister went over and gave him directions.”
Shen Buyu remembered: a fair-skinned little boy in a little suit, incredibly cute.
She even gave him a lollipop, and the child cried so hard that he was snotting through his nose but he still didn't throw it away.
"Why don't I see you?" Shen Buyu was a little embarrassed. He had kept the photo from many years ago for so long.
"Back then you were timid and socially awkward, and you would hide from people, so of course you didn't notice the handsome Jingxu."
"You're so vain." Shen Buyu threw back the covers. "I've been sleeping for ages, haven't I? What time is it?"
"Eight o'clock." Si Jingxu bent down and handed her her slippers. "The food is ready. I'll come and call you. Otherwise, when curfew starts, Uncle Chen will be unhappy with me again."
“My dad never dislikes you, he likes you a lot, okay?” Shen Buyu was unhappy that he always said that. “My dad even told me to study more when I’m with you.”
"Then I'd better perform well and give him back a shrewd and capable woman who can take charge of the company's business."
"Aren't you afraid I'll be too strong and overpower you?" Shen Buyu asked. "Don't men generally not want their partners to be too strong?"
“Only incompetent men think like that,” Si Jingxu said frankly. “I only hope that my little feather has all the skills to stand on its own no matter where it goes, to become the best, and to make all the men who admire you look up to you.”
Men admire outstanding women, but if they are too strong and far surpass themselves, they dare not have any other thoughts.
He has no right to hide his excellent silence from other men.
But he can make her surpass most men.
In this way, his little feather belongs only to him.
Shen Buyu liked this way of speaking.
In fact, she knows herself that she is very ambitious and hopes that one day in the future, she can reach the pinnacle of life on her own.
After dinner, Si Jingxu kissed and hugged her again before finally getting his girlfriend home before curfew.
The moment Shen Buyu stepped into the house, she suddenly understood Si Jingxu's cautiousness.
On the living room sofa, Dad, eldest brother, older brother, and younger brother sat neatly together.
Some were watching TV, some were looking at reports, some were reviewing documents, and some were playing games. Everyone was doing their own thing, but their minds were all on her.
"I'm back." Shen Buyu walked over with a smile. "Have you had dinner yet? Would you like some noodles?"
"Oh, my daughter's back," Shen Zhiye said, picking up the remote to turn off the TV and yawning. "I'm not eating anymore, I'm going upstairs to bed. You should go to bed early too."
Goodnight, Dad.
"And you?" Shen Buyu looked at his three older brothers.
Shen Yanzhou and Shen Yunqi had a meeting early the next morning, so they packed their things, said goodnight to their sister, and went back to their rooms.
Only Song Jingyi remained.
"Brother, why are you waiting here too? You flew back overnight and have been busy all day. You should get some rest." Shen Buyu sat down next to Song Jingyi.
“I don’t sleep much,” Song Jingyi said, “but I’m in good spirits.”
“You can’t say that,” Shen Buyu picked up a strawberry from the table and took a bite. “You can’t just keep overindulging because you’re healthy; it’s all a debt we owe.”
Song Jingyi also took a strawberry, chuckling softly, "Okay, I got it."
"Brother, when we go to Italy during summer vacation, is there a chance we'll run into Song Shuchen? Does your place live far away?"
"Do you mind?" Song Jingyi turned his head to look at her.
After finishing her strawberry, Shen Buyu took another one. "To be honest, I don't mind. Anyway, I know you're here to protect me. If he comes, I can tease him a bit, which will be quite fun."
Song Jingyi laughed so hard his shoulders trembled. "Then you should try your best to annoy him. If you annoy him to death, I'll take the blame."
“Let’s forget it,” Shen Buyu laughed as well. “I don’t want to be burdened with the debt of lives. I’ll settle my grudges and debts with them in this life. I don’t want to get involved in the next life.”
The smile on Song Jingyi's face gradually faded. He raised his hand and stroked his sister's long hair. "Good girl, go to sleep."
The day Long Yu and Shen Buyu became godparents, the weather was beautiful, sunny and cloudless.
Shen Buyu got up early, changed into a dress personally chosen by Long Yu, and put on a ruby necklace personally designed by Lin Xia.
Accompanied by family members, they arrived at the scene.
Long Yu and the emcee went over the details again and again.
He Run was furious. "That bastard is so cunning. He just got a god-sister online. He's really lucky."
If he were to follow along and say he also wants to be the godbrother, it would make him seem like he's trying too hard to emulate Long Yu.
Qi Feng was much calmer. "You should think of it this way: he always treated his younger sister like a daughter, but in the end, he didn't get what he wanted."
Si Jingxu's face was sour. "That Long Yu, is he smiling too broadly today?"
“Jingxu, it’s not that I’m trying to cause trouble,” He Run said, bringing over a wine glass. “Do you think Long Yu is deliberately trying to annoy you? If you didn’t look closely at the sign on the door, you’d think it was an engagement.”
