Chapter 414 Why turn off the lights so quickly?
"You don't want to usurp the throne?" Si Jingxu glanced at her amusedly. "You've been eyeing his position for years."
"I think so," Shen Buyu admitted frankly, "but I'm not stupid enough to say it to his face, for fear that he won't make things difficult for me?"
“Then tell him behind his back,” Si Jingxu said, leaning down and looking at her with his hands on the back of the sofa. “Future Director Shen, do you want to take a break?”
"Let's do it later. I'll take another look at the meeting content for tomorrow."
"See?" Si Jingxu knew her personality and didn't want to be a burden on her family.
I got up to get the hairdryer and hair oil.
When she's at home, someone helps her with everything, but now when she goes out, she always finds it troublesome.
But he didn't mind.
His little feathers must be beautiful from head to toe.
What he loved most was when she rushed towards him, her soft hair cascading over him like silk, and the faint scent of peaches.
There's something Si Jingxu has never told anyone.
He particularly enjoyed taking care of Chen Buyu.
He had always been the one being waited on since he was a child, but when he met her, he couldn't help but want to do something for her.
He didn't have many opportunities to serve her, but he knew everything about her.
Blow-dry your hair until it's half dry, put two drops of hair oil in your palm, rub your hands together and gently press them onto the ends of your hair. After it's absorbed, blow-dry the rest of your hair.
She sat on the sofa, looking down at the documents.
He stood behind her, looking down as he carefully played with her long hair.
Half an hour later, room service brought the food, and Si Jingxu had just finished drying her hair.
"Eat first," Si Jingxu said, taking the documents from her hand. "This has to be done on time, no discussion."
"President Si is so domineering." Shen Buyu stretched, having finished reviewing the documents; it was time to have a proper meal.
She didn't want to make herself sick, so as not to worry her family.
Enjoying the various fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs, Chen Buyu ate happily, saying, "I wonder when I'll get to be an associate translator. I'm really looking forward to it."
Si Jingxu sat next to her, holding a silver crab-eating set, and slowly peeled a crab for her. "It was only a matter of time. He's already taken you on a business trip, which means he recognizes your work ability. As long as you perform well this time, he'll let you attend the next meeting that isn't so important."
“I like what you said,” Shen Buyu said, taking the small bowl of crab meat that Si Jingxu handed him. “I will do my best. My professor said I am even better than Huo Qingci was back then.”
"Then your professor has a good eye."
Shen Buyu chuckled.
Si Jingxu loved to praise her the most.
“Brother Jingxu,” Shen Buyu suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong? Do you want shrimp or fish?" Si Jingxu didn't even look up. "I'll peel this and get it for you."
"It's nothing." Shen Buyu looked at him with a sweet smile. "I was just calling you."
Let's wait until this business trip is over before we talk about it.
After eating, Chen Buyu started to feel sleepy.
“Don’t go back to that small room, sleep here,” Si Jingxu said, then added, “You sleep inside, I’ll sleep outside.”
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Buyu realized that made sense.
We've been here for most of the night, and it would be really silly to go back just to get some sleep.
It's not like there's nowhere else to go.
Moreover, she has indeed been spoiled by her family over the years.
She loved the comfortable bed in the presidential suite.
"But I have to go back to get my clothes," she said lazily, nestled on the sofa.
"I brought it for you." Si Jingxu got up and went to the wardrobe to get a brand new set of silk pajamas for her.
It's the same style as his, but in a different color.
"Then I'll go wash up." Shen Buyu took a few steps. "You didn't prepare my skincare products too? Did you bring a face mask as well?"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. "Go to the bathroom."
"Thank you, Brother Jingxu." Shen Buyu returned with a smile and kissed Si Jingxu.
Si Jingxu's eyes dimmed.
Shen Buyu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Over the years, my older brothers have kept a close eye on me.
This was the first time she had been alone in the same suite as Si Jingxu.
She became excited.
I don't know if he's asleep or not.
I picked up my phone, and the screen lit up just then.
It was a message from Si Jingxu: 【Are you asleep? Are you thirsty?】
Shen Buyu's lips curled up slightly as she typed a few words and then deleted them.
Finally, mustering my courage, I replied: "I'm thirsty, but I don't want to move."
Almost immediately, Si Jingxu said, "I'll come in and get it for you."
Chen Buyu reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
She heard two light knocks on the door, followed by Si Jingxu's slowed footsteps. "Would you like some warm water?"
"Um."
Si Jingxu brought over a glass of warm water and sat down by her bedside.
He didn't give her a glass of water, but brought it directly to her lips. His voice was very soft, like coaxing a child, "Drink it, it's forty degrees Celsius."
Shen Buyu stared at the transparent glass and took two small sips of water from his hand.
"Is that enough?" Si Jingxu said after seeing her nod. "Then you can go back to sleep. If you want water, just text me."
He stood up to leave.
He paused for a moment.
Looking down, the hem of her pajamas was grasped by a small, fair hand.
He looked at the owner of the hand, "Are you scared, or are you having trouble sleeping in this bed?"
Shen Buyu pursed his lips and said, "Neither. I want you to stay with me."
Si Jingxu's breath hitched, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became slightly hoarse. "Do you know what you're saying? Silent."
“Well, the bed is big. You can sleep over there, and I’ll sleep over here,” Shen Buyu said shyly, staring at the hem of his clothes. “I want you to stay, Brother Jingxu.”
“Are you sure? I’ll give you ten more seconds to think it over,” Si Jingxu said, trying to control himself. “I’ll count to ten.”
"Ten." Shen Buyu interrupted him, then turned off the light. "If you're not happy, then you can leave."
This is the most she can do.
Fortunately, only a small, warm bedside lamp was on, otherwise he would have definitely seen his flushed cheeks.
She's asked him to stay twice already...
Shen Buyu lay down and covered his head with the blanket.
She heard Si Jingxu chuckle softly in the darkness.
Then the mattress next to me sank.
The next second, a scorching body exuding the scent of sandalwood pressed against her.
Si Jingxu's tone revealed his happiness, "Why did you turn off the lights so quickly? Don't you know I'm afraid of the dark?"
Chen Buyu felt even more embarrassed.
It made it seem like she deliberately turned off the lights to force someone to stay.
"Then I'll drive it for you, and you can go."
Before her outstretched hand could even touch the switch, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
"It's late at night, don't bother, you have to go to work tomorrow." Si Jingxu gently kissed the back of her hand. "Buyu, I'm so glad. I wanted to stay earlier, but I was afraid that if I agreed too quickly, you would think I was trying to take advantage of you."
As a result, the child didn't even give him a chance to act like a gentleman.
She turned off the lights just like that.
