Chapter 54 What if it leaves a scar?
He chuckled silently.
Qin Nianke both feared and hated Si Jingxu.
However, "as long as they give you tons of gold coins, who cares if they're unlucky or not, or if they're not gentlemanly?"
“That’s true,” Qin Nianke took a big bite of cake, tilted her head and looked through the glass window, “Your older brother is really handsome, a stoic type of handsome guy, I’ve never dated him.”
Even without saying a word, she looked over; her older brother was indeed handsome.
Commander Si Jingxu's arrogance is outrageous and infuriating.
But the older brother is different; he's handsome in a reserved and composed way.
In her opinion, the older brother was more charming.
As if sensing something, Si Jingxu, who was chatting with Shen Yanzhou, suddenly looked over.
Their eyes met, and without saying a word, her heart tightened, and she immediately turned her head away.
“I also think that my older brother is not only charming, but also very good at making money.” Yan Buyu took another bite of cake.
Qin Nianke was even more envious.
It's true that people of the same kind have different fates.
"No comment." Zhou Yixiao came over with a smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I left late today and there was a traffic jam on the way."
"Senior Xiaoxiao."
"Senior Xiaoxiao."
Yan Buyu and Qin Nianke greeted each other at the same time.
"It's okay, I'm free tomorrow anyway, I can stay out a little later tonight," Yan Buyu said with a smile.
After Qi Feng arrived, things became even more lively.
He was also eager to impress Zhou Yixiao, so he would occasionally spill some gossip to make the girls happy.
While Shen Yanzhou was preparing food for his sister, Long Yu walked over to Si Jingxu and said, "Look, Qi Feng is so good at winning over girls. What's the point of you always being so sneaky? It would be much better to make your sister laugh."
Si Jingxu had been observing Yan Buyu the whole time. In the lively gathering, she stayed in a corner, mostly listening.
Occasionally, he would whisper to Qin Nianke.
She doesn't like people who are too outgoing, or rather, if someone is overly unrestrained in front of her when you're not familiar with them, it will make her feel disgusted and scared.
"You don't know anything," Si Jingxu poured a glass of water. "She's still young, take it slow."
Boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
She'll be his sooner or later.
Long Yuren is more straightforward; if it were him, he would confess directly.
The cola in Yan Buyu's cup was at room temperature; she wanted to add two ice cubes.
When reaching for the ice bucket.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Don't!"
Her hand froze in mid-air as she slowly looked at the person beside her.
What's wrong? It's like there's a bomb inside.
"What's wrong, Moyu?" Shen Yanzhou came over and placed the sliced meat in front of her. "What do you want?"
"Buyu, you can have a Coke," Zhou Yixiao said carefully.
Qi Feng nodded, hiding behind Zhou Yixiao with a look of fear on his face.
Long Yu went even further, striding over and grabbing the bottle of liquor next to the ice bucket, then pleading with her like a child, "Little sister, let's not drink, the liquor doesn't taste good."
Qin Nianke looked completely bewildered.
"Ah." Yan Buyu blinked. She understood. They were worried about her drinking alcohol. She whispered, "I just wanted to add ice to my Coke."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But she couldn't be happy.
She pursed her lips and sat down.
"Senior Xiaoxiao, were you there when I was drinking last time?" Yan Buyu suddenly looked at her. "What did I do? Did I act crazy while drunk?"
Zhou Yixiao asked tentatively, "Did you black out?"
He nodded silently.
“This…” Zhou Yixiao was unsure how to answer. She glanced at Long Yu, who was still holding the wine bottle, and said, “Ask Long Yu, he knows better.”
Long Yu was startled. "It's nothing, little sister. You just tend to throw up after drinking, and you vomit everywhere. Everyone was just worried that you weren't feeling well."
Long Yu swore this was the fastest his mind had ever worked.
"So what if you throw up? Everyone throws up when they're drunk. Is it really the end of the world? You scared Bu Yu half to death." Qin Nian was unhappy. "Bu Yu, drink up. You've had too much to drink today. I'll clean you up."
"Nianke, you're the best." Yan Buyu's nose tingled and she almost cried. "Never mind, I promised my brother I wouldn't drink outside anymore."
“Yes, you can come visit us sometime. Bu Yu hasn’t brought any friends home yet.” Shen Yanzhou smiled gently at Qin Nianke.
Qin Nianke's face suddenly turned red.
Fortunately, it was nighttime, so the light wasn't too bright.
With the drinking incident behind them, Qi Feng quickly got back to trying to make his girlfriend laugh, and the atmosphere became lively again.
Suddenly, a cup appeared next to Yan Buyu.
Then came a scent of agarwood mixed with medicinal aroma.
She didn't even need to turn around to know who it was, "Brother Jingxu."
"Hmm," Si Jingxu said lazily, "Want to have a drink?"
"No," Yan said in a muffled voice.
“Actually, Long Yu didn’t finish what she said just now,” Si Jingxu said, looking at her chubby cheeks, which looked like little buns. He rubbed his fingers together to resist the urge to pinch her. “You bite when you’re drunk.”
Dead memories begin to attack silence.
The first time she got drunk, she seemed to bite Si Jingxu.
She was terrified, her voice trembling, "Did I bite you again?"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
Yan Buyu misunderstood. "I'm going to quit drinking," she said.
Si Jingxu chuckled softly. So cute.
He was right beside her, his arm draped over the back of her chair, his low, magnetic laugh penetrating her ear.
It's so itchy.
"As compensation, come in and apply the medicine for me." Si Jingxu extended his right index finger and tapped her back.
"Didn't we already apply it? The doctor said once a day is enough." Yan Buyu turned to look at him.
“You have injuries elsewhere too. Come in with me.” Si Jingxu said, then stood up straight.
Without saying a word, how could it only be a leg injury?
It was her brother who caused this, and he was trying to protect her.
He sighed resignedly and got up.
Si Jingxu slowly went upstairs and returned to his room.
He entered the room a minute later than him, carrying a first-aid kit without saying a word.
The door was ajar, and when she pushed it gently, her nose almost bled.
Si Jingxu took off his shirt, leaving him only in white casual pants, and stood shirtless in the living room of the bedroom looking at her.
"You, you, you, you put your clothes on." He stammered, turning to look at the wall.
"I...I...I...I'm injured on my back." Si Jingxu's eyes were full of laughter. "How can I apply it while wearing it? Otherwise, why do you think I wasn't in the living room downstairs?"
Back?
Yan Buyu paused for a moment, realizing that he must have been scratched by a tree branch.
It's her thoughts that are impure.
She took a deep breath, turned around, and walked in without looking to the side. If her face and ears weren't so pink, she would look even more convincing.
Si Jingxu didn't tease her. He stretched out on the sofa and waited for her to apply the medicine.
The moment Yan Buyu saw his back, all her shyness vanished.
"Why didn't you let the doctor take a look? Your back is much more serious than your legs," she said with a hint of reproach.
"Don't speak," Si Jingxu called to her.
"Um?"
"Do you think just anyone can see my body?" Si Jingxu closed his eyes, feeling Yan Buyu gently disinfecting his back, his lips curving into a beautiful smile.
He didn't know how he was feeling.
She was worried about him being in pain, saying, "What if it leaves a scar?"
His skin was smooth, and his back was clean without a single scar. She would feel guilty if she left any.
"Then keep it. Every time you see it in the future, you'll remember that it was Jingxu who got injured protecting you."
Then she couldn't bear to be harsh with herself.
Who knows, they might even kiss and hug.
