Chapter 382 Has any man confessed his love to you?
Si Jingxu didn't seem to think anything of it. "Go ahead and get busy. I'll take her back for dinner."
Song Jingyi is gone. He needs to hurry and eliminate all threats as quickly as possible.
When he returned to the manor, Shen Buyu clearly noticed that there were many more people around him.
"Don't be afraid, Miss. They're all on our side. Brother Yi sent them to protect you." Mu Zi didn't go out with Shen Buyu in the afternoon. She was terribly worried when she heard about the attack.
She pulled the young lady around and checked her over several times before she felt at ease.
The barbecue dinner arrived as scheduled, and Shen Buyu and Si Jingxu specially went to the courtyard to eat.
Young Master Si personally grilled the meat.
He knew that although Xiao Yu Mao seemed unaffected, she was actually quite upset inside.
He wanted to spend some time with her and talk to her to comfort her.
"The beef here is very tender, eat more, don't worry about gaining weight." Si Jingxu put some Wagyu beef on her plate.
Shen Buyu lowered his head and remained silent, quietly eating two pieces of tender and juicy meat.
With food in my stomach, I felt better.
She picked up a mushroom and placed it on the side of the baking tray. "Brother Jingxu, I feel unwell."
"You feel sorry for Jingyi and are worried about his safety, right?" Si Jingxu ate the salmon his girlfriend had given him.
Shen Buyu nodded sullenly, "I've only heard about it before, but seeing it so clearly in front of me today is still a bit hard for me to accept."
She could imagine how terrifying today's events must have been for her.
But for Song Jingyi, it was just an ordinary little scene.
The scars on his body are no joke.
Just thinking about it made her heart clench with pain.
“You have to believe him,” Si Jingxu said as he grilled meat. “This is his life.”
“That’s why I’m upset,” Shen Buyu put down his chopsticks. “I wish he could live a more ordinary life, even if he didn’t have so much money.”
“But Jingyi isn’t like that,” Si Jingxu looked straight at her. “Buyu, your brother is passionate and ambitious. Even when it comes to investments, he prefers high-risk, high-return types. Someone like him can’t live a stable, ordinary life.”
Shen Buyu poked the fragrant roasted mushrooms and said in a low voice, "I know."
That's why she was even more conflicted; she couldn't persuade her brother to change his mind.
"Think about it another way," Si Jingxu said, placing all the grilled meat onto her plate. "Your brother didn't lose out either."
"Huh?" Shen Buyu frowned. "You can say that?"
Si Jingxu raised his eyebrows, "Why not? To put it bluntly, what happened this afternoon was because the two of us were in the car. If it were just him and Acheng, he would probably have just turned around and crashed into us."
Song Jingyi's car may look like an ordinary car, but it has actually been specially modified to be bulletproof and crashproof.
Given his personality, avoidance is simply out of the question; a real man would confront his opponent head-on.
Shen Buyu pointed to his head with one finger and looked at Si Jingxu, "I feel that you and my brother have similar personalities."
Moreover, both of them only softened their edges and showed their tender side when they were in front of her.
“I really admire Jingyi,” Si Jingxu said, picking up a piece of meat and bringing it to her lips. “Eat quickly.”
Shen Buyu took a bite of meat, chewed it, and turned to look at Si Jingxu. "You just said it was because I was dragging you down, right?"
“Uh…” Si Jingxu was taken aback. “Jingyi is back.”
Shen Buyu gave a soft hum, then put down his chopsticks and got up to greet Song Jingyi.
As soon as Song Jingyi got out of the car, he saw his sister walking towards him.
A smile played on his lips. He took two steps but stopped, took off his coat and tossed it to Chen Mo. "Throw it away."
Chen Mo looked at the bloodstains on his clothes and understood.
"Brother!" Shen Buyu's pace quickened, and he started jogging behind.
"Take your time," Song Jingyi said with a smile.
Shen Buyu ran up to him and examined him carefully, just like Mu Zi had examined her.
Knowing that he was not injured put my mind at ease.
"Are you relieved?" Song Jingyi's voice betrayed a barely suppressed chuckle.
The next second, his little sister jumped into his arms and called out in a soft voice, "Brother."
Before the smile faded, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hmm," Song Jingyi stroked the back of her head with one hand, "Brother's back, everything's alright."
"Let's eat. Jingxu and I just started dating." Shen Buyu stepped out of his embrace and smiled brightly. "When I had mushroom poisoning before, didn't I call Acheng 'mouth mushroom'?"
"Do you remember anything else?" Song Jingyi asked, playing along perfectly.
"It's gone."
"Come on, let me tell you what happened today."
At first, Shen Buyu thought it was competition from peers or a fight for territory.
She never imagined that the reason for the attack would be so outrageous.
"So, you're saying that a guy had a crush on you, but his suitor found out, and then his suitor hired someone to kill you???"
"Exactly!" After washing his hands and returning from a busy afternoon, Acheng slammed his hand on the table. "There are just some stupid people in the world!"
He's such a weakling, yet he dares to hire someone to kill.
You could call him stupid, but at least he knew to hire people from abroad.
You could call him clever, but he came up with this idea with his toes.
It's like knocking on the door of the King of Hell when you're courting death.
Shen Buyu took a bite of meat, chewing it halfway, and stared blankly at her brother.
He's handsome, cool, and very manly.
She always knew.
She had imagined that many girls would pursue him, but she never expected that he would also have male suitors.
"To be honest, he has a good eye," Shen Buyu chewed a couple of times. "I'm at ease knowing it's not an enemy seeking revenge."
Song Jingyi poured her a glass of warm water. "I told you, our family has legitimate businesses and there's no danger. Today was an accident."
Shen Buyu nodded.
Accidents don't happen every day.
No, it won't.
"Alright, now you can relax. Eat properly. You barely ate two pieces of meat all night." Si Jingxu couldn't help but laugh. It's true that anything can happen to you.
Shen Buyu looked at him, "Brother Jingxu, has any man confessed his feelings to you?"
Si Jingxu didn't even stop grilling the meat. "Anyone who's asking for it hasn't died yet."
"Miss, Miss," Acheng leaned closer, "You've had plenty of men confessing their feelings to you, haven't you?"
"Let me calculate it."
Shen Buyu counted on his fingers and, after successfully seeing Si Jingxu's dark face, burst out laughing.
"Actually, no. During junior and senior high school, my older brother kept a close eye on me and drove me to and from school every day. No boy dared to confess to me."
She did receive a few love letters, but she didn't dare to tell anyone.
Someone next to me is so jealous, I'm worried about his stomach, especially since it's late at night.
As Song Jingyi drank his wine, he listened to his sister recount her funny stories from her school days, and a smile never left his face.
These are just small, ordinary things, but when they happen to her and she tells them, they become so interesting.
Ah Cheng rested his chin on his hand and said, "I wish I had met you a few years earlier."
Then he could help Young Master Shen beat people up.
