Chapter 424 How about we get married?
I don't want you to leave.
He had said those five words many times before.
But this is the first time in this situation.
Confusion and vulnerability, along with his tears, became the most effective catalyst.
In a moment of impulsiveness, Shen Buyu blurted out, "How about we get married?"
Si Jingxu's eyes lit up, and all his negative emotions vanished instantly.
He sat up, gripping Chen Buyu's hands tightly. "Okay, okay!"
There wasn't even a second confirmation.
This mental state, this strength...
Shen Buyu blinked. "Are you faking illness?"
“I swear I didn’t,” Si Jingxu raised his hand. “I was absolutely right, exactly 39 degrees. I was just so happy to hear what you said.”
Good news is worth ten doctors.
“But…you…” Shen Buyu hesitated for a moment.
Si Jingxu understands her.
At this point, if she were to confirm it a second time, she would have to change her mind.
"I'll make the arrangements right away. There will definitely be good days this year, so let's hurry." Si Jingxu threw back the covers and got out of bed.
Under Shen Buyu's blank gaze, she lightly opened the door.
The butler, who was waiting outside the door, sighed inwardly when he saw the young master get out of bed.
The future young mistress is a miracle doctor!
"Where are my parents?" Si Jingxu asked.
"The gentleman is in the living room, and the lady is in the kitchen making soup for you. I'll go call them."
"No, I'll go myself." Si Jingxu quickened his pace. "Miss Shen is in her room. I'll bring her some tea, fruit, and snacks."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Shen Buyu buried his head in Si Jingxu's blanket in the room and let out a dry howl.
What kind of illness is this being diagnosed with?!
"Oh dear, Bu Yu has seen through your act. You're not even pretending anymore? Son, why are you running so fast?" Si Chengli took a sip of tea.
The person who was just sickly is now full of energy.
Ling Huiwen was also surprised. "What's wrong? Is Buyu angry? Let me tell you, it was all your and your dad's idea. It has nothing to do with me. My little cutie Buyu and I are the best of friends in the world."
"Alright, nothing's wrong," Si Jingxu glanced at his mother, who was eager to distance herself from the situation. "Well... I just proposed to Buyu again, and she said yes. You guys pick a few dates and discuss it with Aunt Lan and the others."
With a 'clatter,' Si Chengli's teacup fell to the ground.
Ling Huiwen was taken aback at first, then smiled broadly, "Really? Buyu agreed to get married this year? Ah!!! Son, you're so amazing!!!"
"Then, then, hurry up," Si Chengli stood up, also a little flustered. He took a deep breath, "Go to Dad's place and have him calculate the auspicious date. We'll go to the Shen family to propose marriage first. We can't skip any of the proper etiquette."
“That’s for sure,” Ling Huiwen clapped her hands excitedly, already impatient. “Honey, let’s go find Dad. It would be best if we could set the date today. Normally, the preparation process would take a month or two. And there’s Buyu’s wedding dress, their wedding photos… Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry!”
“Wait, Buyu is still here. Wouldn’t it be bad if we left?” Si Chengli was worried that the child would overthink things. “What if she thinks we don’t care about her anymore? Why don’t we have a meal with her? We can always stay up all night.”
“My grandfather is old, why are you making him stay up all night?” Si Jingxu didn’t get a word in edgewise for a while. “You guys go now, I’ll tell her that I can’t wait to marry her.”
"Oh my! My good son." Ling Huiwen patted Si Jingxu's face. "If I wasn't afraid you'd infect me, I would really give you two kisses."
Si Jingxu: ...
His little feather didn't mind.
Can you blame him for forgetting his mother after he got married?
After watching Si Chengli and Ling Huiwen leave the room, Si Jingxu quickly walked towards the bedroom.
If his parents don't go out, his little feather will definitely be too embarrassed to come out.
Back in the room, Shen Buyu had already taken off his shoes and was sitting cross-legged on his bed, looking like he was about to interrogate him.
"Have you had anything to eat?" Si Jingxu walked to the bedside with a smile. "Can I sit down?"
Shen Buyu crossed her arms and glared at him expressionlessly. "This is your home, and you're asking me?"
"It'll be yours soon, you need to get used to it beforehand." Si Jingxu took another step forward. "Can I sit here?"
He kept smiling, but the unnatural flush on his face was also there.
Shen Buyu's heart softened, and she moved to the side. "Come up and lie down. Otherwise, the medicine will be wasted, and you'll have to get an IV drip."
Si Jingxu responded and nimbly climbed into bed.
“My parents went to talk to my grandfather about the date. In a couple of days, they will also talk to Aunt Lan and Uncle Chen about the specifics. They are not home. Don’t be shy. I will tell them that I proposed to you again. I pretended to be sick and looked pitiful.”
“You are,” Shen Buyu turned her head to one side and smiled. “Then I’m going home to tell my parents. We need to prepare too. It wouldn’t be good for them to find out about this from someone else first.”
“Okay.” Si Jingxu sat up again. “I’ll see you off.”
Shen Buyu glanced at him, "Aren't you saying you can't bear to part with it now?"
Si Jingxu chuckled, "This separation is for the sake of us being together better in the future. Brother Jingxu has endured so many years, a few more days won't make a difference."
"Just lie there. You're not well enough to propose marriage," Shen Buyu refused Si Jingxu's offer to escort her. "Should I talk to Brother Longyu about it?"
"Don't say anything. Just treat him to a meal after the honeymoon." Si Jingxu's head started to ache again when he heard that name.
"Then I'll say it myself." Shen Buyu took two steps, then turned back and instructed, "Take good care of yourself, and don't go out until you're fully recovered, understand?"
"I know, I know," Si Jingxu quickly covered himself with the blanket, behaving like a good boy. "I'll be obedient, don't worry."
Shen Buyu laughed out loud, "I'm leaving."
"Shut up." Si Jingxu called out again.
He turned around and said, "I love you."
"receive."
Si Jingxu lay in bed, feeling dizzy with fever.
As the effects of the medicine kicked in, he thought, "I hope it's not all just a dream when I wake up."
When he got home, his family was all there, including Song Jingyi.
Shen Buyu took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
While she was struggling with her decision, a warm hand with calloused skin grasped hers.
“Miss,” Mu Zi said softly, “marriage and divorce are just minor things. Don’t take them too seriously. Don’t be nervous. Everyone in this house has only one thought in mind: as long as you’re happy.”
Shen Buyu grasped her hand and said, "Mu Zi, be my bridesmaid."
Mu Zi: ...
She was even less familiar with this business.
When Song Jingyi heard that Si Jingxu had a fever, he sneered inwardly. Climbing stairs in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, who else would have a fever if not him?
If I hadn't taken a second look, my military knife would have flown out of my hand.
He didn't even have the chance to fake illness and gain his sister's sympathy.
In other words, he has cultivated his character and temperament, and his brother-in-law is still doing well.
