Chapter 56 I Don't Ski
The brother and sister looked over at the same time and saw that Si Jingxu's handsome face was slightly pained.
He's leaning on the stair railing with one hand; the pose is comical yet exudes elegance.
"Jingxu?" Shen Yanzhou quickly walked to his side and supported his other arm. "Is it that serious?"
That shouldn't be the case. He saw the wound, but it didn't even leave a scar.
She was fine outside just now, how come she's changed like this now?
Yan Buyu also took small steps up the stairs, one step at a time, and stood a few steps below Si Jingxu, looking up at him. "I'll go call the doctor. Or should we go to the hospital to check if we've broken any bones?"
She could clearly see the injury on his back, and she would never doubt the pain he was in.
Si Jingxu paused for a moment, realizing he had overacted a bit.
With Shen Yanzhou's help, he moved his legs a bit. "It's okay, they were just a little numb, but it's much better now."
Yan Buyu's handsome brows were still furrowed. "Then walk a few steps."
Si Jingxu: ...
He gently pushed Shen Yanzhou aside, then nimbly and gracefully walked down a few steps, stopping right in front of Yan Buyu. He raised an eyebrow at her, exuding an air of effortless elegance.
People who were much shorter than him looked at him like he was a statue.
Without saying a word, she immediately stepped aside. "Then you can go downstairs slowly, and we'll go get something to eat."
Shen Yanzhou walked to his sister's side and said, "Let's go, neither of you has eaten anything."
He didn't realize that he was standing right between Si Jingxu and Yan Buyu.
“You can stay with your classmates tonight,” Shen Yanzhou instructed without saying a word. “I’ll have someone bring your things over later, and you and Jingxu can stay here.”
Yan Buyu nodded happily, "Big brother is the best, he's so thoughtful."
Although the villa has many rooms, Nianke still feels uncomfortable.
Brother, you have such a gentlemanly demeanor.
When Yan Buyu looked at Chen Yanzhou again, her eyes were sparkling.
Si Jingxu tilted his head and coughed twice, neither too hard nor too soft.
"Brother Jingxu, are you alright?" Yan Buyu asked with concern, stepping past Shen Yanzhou.
Si Jingxu hummed in agreement, "It's alright. I'm quite envious of how good your relationship is, you siblings are."
“Buyu is very well-behaved. I’ve never seen such an obedient and sensible child,” Shen Yanzhou said with an unconscious smile, but then realized it wasn’t quite right. “Your sister is also quite good, innocent and carefree.”
Si Jingxu scoffed lightly, his tone extremely disdainful, "Just say she's brainless, that's enough."
"Nianke has a brain." Yan Buyu was unhappy that he spoke of his friend like that, especially since she was his cousin.
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow; the kid was quite protective of his own.
They won't let us talk about Shen Yunqi, and they won't let us talk about Qin Nianke either.
A feeling he had never experienced before welled up inside him: jealousy.
This young master, who has always had everything he could want, can simply reach out and have the best things delivered to him.
But now he wants to show favoritism without saying a word.
Back in the garden, everyone else had already eaten and drunk more than half of their fill.
Qin Nianke and Zhou Yixiao pulled her over, "Do you know what? Lu Yun is here too!"
Yan Buyu shook his head. "I don't know."
Qin Nianke took out her phone and excitedly showed it off, "Look, this is his WeChat Moments."
Lu Yun took a picture of the mountain scenery and captioned it: The scenery is beautiful, but I'm missing her by my side.
The location is Longyu's Mountain Villa.
Zhou Yixiao is two years older than them and is usually much more mature, but he also looks quite gossipy right now.
"Is he pursuing you? Is he handsome? Do you have a photo of him?" A series of questions followed.
“He didn’t pursue me,” Yan Buyu denied. “He didn’t confess his feelings either. We just chatted occasionally, but I didn’t really reply to him.”
Although he invited me out to play, I never expected to end up here.
Qin Nianke, looking like she understood everything, complained to Zhou Yixiao, "She just doesn't get it. She doesn't know someone is pursuing her unless they say 'I like you.' She doesn't understand the concept of ambiguity."
After saying that, Qin Nianke put Yan Buyu's phone on the table. "You didn't have your phone with you just now, and WeChat kept beeping. Then I saw his Moments. Take a look. If it's a photo or message from Lu Yun, then it definitely means he likes you."
Then, Qin Nianke and Zhou Yixiao stared at Yan Buyu with wide, round eyes.
He didn't believe in this nonsense, so he opened his phone and his expression froze for a moment.
Qin Nianke slammed her hand on the table. "See! I was right!"
Zhou Yixiao was extremely eager to see it. "What did they post? Can I see it?"
He paused for two seconds without saying a word, then pushed his phone to the center of the table.
The two girls leaned over at the same time, exclaiming, "Wow!!"
Besides the photo on her WeChat Moments, Lu Yun also sent her several other photos from different angles and landscapes.
His last text message was: I wish you were here.
"He might be sending those messages to every girl like that." Yan Buyu silently put his phone away and locked the screen.
Zhou Yixiao stared at her face for two seconds, then turned to Qin Nianke and asked, "Is Buyu an Earth element sign?"
“Virgos born in September,” Qin Nianke said helplessly, “They don’t believe anyone can love them.”
Zhou Yixiao nodded in agreement, "That's so accurate. What earth signs need most is a passionate and unrestrained lover who can never be driven away."
She doesn't believe in astrology; she firmly believes it's just a matter of personality.
Their voices were quite loud, and several men turned to look.
Qi Feng, holding a glass of champagne, sat down next to Zhou Yixiao. "What are you talking about? Xiaoxiao is laughing so happily."
Zhou Yixiao slightly increased the distance between them, her voice indifferent, "Just chatting."
Qi Feng acted as if he hadn't seen her actions, and said to Yan Buyu with a smile, "Little Buyu, how about going out to play in a few days?"
"Where should we go?" Yan Buyu chewed on his meat, his cheeks bulging.
"Skiing." Qi Feng glanced at Zhou Yixiao. "Xiaoxiao wants to go skiing. Do you two want to come with us?"
He choked on his food for a moment, speechless.
She pounded her chest in pain.
"What's wrong? Throw it out." Si Jingxu appeared out of nowhere, patting her back with one hand and placing the other to her lips. "Spit it out quickly!"
Without saying a word, she stretched her neck and swallowed the meat. "I almost choked," she said.
Si Jingxu's hand was still stroking her back. "Are you starving?"
He shook his head without saying a word, clearly frightened.
Because of Shen Yunqi in her past life, her heart would sink whenever she heard the word "skiing".
“I’m fine, Brother Jingxu,” she said, looking at Qi Feng with a firm resolve in her beautiful eyes, “I don’t ski.”
Qi Feng was still surprised that Si Jingxu, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, directly reached out to catch the food scraps.
Hearing Yan Buyu's words, he slowly nodded, "Ah, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. Xiaoxiao and I will bring you a gift when we come back."
"Have some water." Shen Yanzhou handed Yan Buyu a glass of warm water. "Are you still feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, brother." Yan Buyu held the warm cup in his hands, and his flustered heart finally calmed down.
“Nianke, my older brother said he’ll sleep with your cousin tonight, and then the two of us will sleep together.”
Qin Nianke glanced quickly at Shen Yanzhou, her face flushed, and nodded.
“What do you mean by ‘sleep with me’?” Si Jingxu pointed his index finger at Yan Buyu’s back. “It means we’ll sleep separately in the villa here. Xiao Buyu, watch your words, don’t let people misunderstand.”
