Chapter 57 Using my family's silence as a cover
Yan Buyu glanced up at Si Jingxu. He was so serious. No wonder he was the heir of the Si family.
The three girls continued chatting, and their occasional soft laughter filled the courtyard with warmth and vitality.
Long Yu, holding a wine glass, plopped down next to Shen Yanzhou. "Yanzhou, what does our little sister like?"
Shen Yanzhou looked puzzled. "What?"
“Hey, what’s with that look? I don’t mean anything by my sister,” Long Yu said, his usually thick face turning slightly red. “My sister was drunk before and hugged me, calling me Mom.”
Shen Yanzhou understood. "Don't worry, we didn't tell her about this. We don't want her to know that she went to see her mother after getting drunk."
“Hey, no,” Long Yu scratched his head, “Well, it’s not that I’m afraid my sister will find out, it’s that I…”
Si Jingxu couldn't stand it anymore. He was a grown man, and his constant nagging was annoying.
“Our Bu Yu has awakened the maternal love deep within Long Yu’s heart. He now treats his younger sister like his own daughter and wants to please her.” Si Jingxu pulled up a chair and sat down, finishing Long Yu’s sentence for him.
Shen Yanzhou: ...
Long Yu blushed again. "No, I'm not treating her as a daughter, but as a younger sister. It just so happens that I don't have a younger sister at home. That bastard He Run keeps telling me how great it would be to have a younger sister, and now I have one too."
Shen Yanzhou lowered his eyes to look at the wine in his glass, without saying anything.
Long Yu glanced at Yan Buyu's seat and lowered his voice, saying, "I really feel sorry for my sister..."
Shen Yanzhou sighed. Who wouldn't feel sorry for him?
Such a good child, never causing trouble or being unruly, having lived in the Shen family for so many years, pampered and spoiled, yet he had not a trace of the spoiled brat about him.
Even girls from ordinary families who are spoiled by their families will still have some princess-like temperaments.
But she didn't. Not only was she not spoiled, but she was also careful in everything she did, afraid of causing trouble for her family.
When Shen Yunqi told me that she had a hard childhood, my heart felt like it was being twisted several times, and I felt suffocated.
Long Yu is a man of true feelings.
His younger sister cried so bitterly that day, calling him "Mom," which must have touched the softest spot in his heart.
Shen Yanzhou suddenly chuckled and turned to look at Long Yu, "Then my family's Buyu will have another older brother to dote on from now on."
Long Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head and puffed out her chest, "That's right, from now on when you're not in Beijing, I'll take care of my sister."
Si Jingxu coughed.
Long Yu added, "Jing Xu and I are taking care of it together; we're all family."
Shen Yanzhou raised his glass and took a sip with them.
Si Jingxu treated her differently from others after her younger sister hugged her and called her "Mom."
Now there's another one, Long Yu.
His sister is really lovable.
Qi Feng came over with a bitter face, "What are you guys chatting about? Fill up your cups, brothers."
Long Yu joked, "What's wrong? Is your girlfriend upset again?"
“Sigh,” Qi Feng said with a sigh, “Others may not know, but you don’t. She’s with me because of pressure from her family, so it’s normal for her to give me the cold shoulder.”
"Take it slow, things will get better." Shen Yanzhou handed him a bottle of wine.
"Thanks, brother," Qi Feng said with emotion. "But my Xiaoxiao really likes your Buyu. Next time we get together, please bring your sister more often. That way, I'll have an excuse to bring Xiaoxiao out to get to know her better."
Long Yu was the first to object, "We're taking our little sister out to play with her, not to help you out. Stop trying to take advantage of our little sister."
Qi Feng hesitated, then looked at Si Jingxu, "Jingxu, look at him."
Si Jingxu glanced at him indifferently, "You said something wrong? You can't even catch a woman yourself, so you're using my Buyu as an excuse. Have you no shame?"
Shen Yanzhou was in a good mood.
She got up and got some food for Si Jingxu. "Jingxu, have something to eat. I still want to thank you for today."
"Alright, any more thanks would be too much. We're family." Si Jingxu picked up a piece of beef. "What does Buyu like to eat?"
This is also the answer that Long Yu wanted to know just now.
“Buyu…” Shen Yanzhou thought for a moment, “She doesn’t have any particular favorite foods, nor any particular dislikes. Aunt Jiang said she rarely makes requests. Shen Yunqi should know this better, but I haven’t talked to him about it.”
Si Jingxu then looked at the person smiling with pursed lips in the corner.
Too introverted.
They don't speak properly, they don't want others to know their inner thoughts, and they don't want to communicate with people much.
A stubborn child.
“Oh, right,” Shen Yanzhou remembered, “When she was little, she loved to eat candy, but Aunt Lan was afraid that she would get bad teeth from eating too much, so she didn’t let her eat too much. Besides, if she ate too much candy, she wouldn’t eat her meals properly.”
Eat candy.
Si Jingxu suddenly remembered that when Yan Buyu first got drunk and hugged him, calling him "Mom," he said he wanted to eat the colorful candies in the tin box.
He gently rubbed the rim of the cup with his thumb, determined not to tell Long Yu.
That's something he doesn't care about.
Long Yu was still asking Shen Yanzhou about Yan Buyu, but most of the time, Shen Yanzhou didn't know either.
All he would say was, "Buyu is very well-behaved and obedient."
Si Jingxu didn't believe it; he had seen how Yan Buyu was when he was with Shen Yunqi.
She's cheerful, playful, and full of mischievous ideas.
It was definitely not the fake smile on the girl's face who seemed indifferent no matter what others did.
The leisurely time of the night passed quickly, and Yan Buyu yawned.
"Alright, I'm sleepy, time for bed." Si Jingxu stood up.
The others also put down their glasses and stood up.
Shen Yanzhou, still worried about Yan Buyu, came over to remind him, "There's a phone in every room. Just press zero to call the butler. You can ask for anything you need, don't be shy, okay?"
Long Yu chimed in, "Yeah, little sister, you don't know how much the housekeeper makes a month. If you don't make them do some work, then your brother's money will be wasted."
He lowered his head and smiled without saying a word. Long Yu's words were truly interesting.
Zhou Yixiao also wanted to live in the same villa as Yan Buyu and the others.
Although Qi Feng seemed reluctant, he still smiled and agreed, "Of course, it's a good thing that you girls get along so well. Go and have a good chat together, don't stay up too late. I'll bring you the face mask later."
The two villas are right next to each other, and there are security personnel patrolling outside.
But the men still very gentlemanly followed behind the girls and escorted them back.
Qin Nianke turned around and glanced at Si Jingxu, grinning.
"My cousin is definitely possessed. Could he have been possessed?"
Yan Buyu, curious, also turned around and glanced back.
The man, who was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 83 kilograms, was also looking at her and even raised an eyebrow at her.
"He's perfectly normal. What's wrong with him?" Yan Buyu turned his head back, but Qin Nianke looked a bit off.
"Him? Normal?!" Qin Nianke reacted as if she had heard something earth-shattering. "I've never seen him so...so...like a human being."
Silence: ...
Zhou Yixiao: ...
What kind of statement is this?
What are the standard lines a blood-related sister uses to complain about her brother?
