Chapter 78 Everyone Loves You
Yan Buyu watched the fish gradually disperse in the pond and said softly, "I feel like I'm an ingrate. My family treats me very well, but sometimes I always treat myself like an outsider."
Si Jingxu took a step closer to her, bent down and whispered in her ear with a smile, "Are there any more ungrateful wretches like this? I'd like to get one too."
She glanced at him sideways with displeasure, saying nothing; he was just feeling sad.
Turning her head, she was surprised to find that Si Jingxu was actually so close to her.
I instinctively took a step back, my knees hit the edge of the pool, I lost my balance and fell backward.
With an exceptionally strong will to survive, she instantly grabbed the fabric covering Si Jingxu's chest.
Fortunately, that person wasn't as cold-blooded and ruthless as Qin Nianke described.
The young master kindly reached out his arm and scooped her up.
They prevented her from falling into the pool.
Otherwise, those little fish would definitely treat her like fish food and nibble at her.
Night fell, and the crescent moon hung lazily in the sky.
The warm light in the garden was intoxicating.
The tall man, a barely suppressed smile playing on his lips, looked down at the still-shaken girl in his arms.
The girl steadied herself and breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, that scared me to death."
Si Jingxu mimicked her tone, "Ah, you stepped on me to death."
Only then did Yan Buyu realize that he had stepped on half of the other person's foot.
The position was extremely awkward at this moment, her hand still clutching Si Jingxu's shirt.
She ripped open his neatly pressed collar, and two buttons popped off his chest, revealing most of his full and elastic pectoral muscles.
She was pressed close to him, and one of his arms was wrapped around her waist.
"I... I was careless, I'm sorry." Yan Buyu immediately moved his foot away and stepped out of Si Jingxu's embrace.
She stood there awkwardly, the usually carefree and unrestrained young master Si looking as if he had been violated.
The clothes were wrinkled and torn, and the cuffs of the pants and the tops of the shoes were covered in dust.
He remained silent, his heart pounding wildly.
Si Jingxu, hands in his pockets, laughed heartily, "Little princess, it seems I'm the one who's more miserable."
She glanced up at him without saying a word, then immediately looked down again. "But you were the one who got so close to me first, otherwise I wouldn't have been scared."
The man raised an eyebrow. "You don't want to take responsibility?"
"What responsibility do I have?" Yan Buyu suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with utter surprise.
What era are we living in? He just ripped off some clothes, what was he trying to do?
Si Jingxu: "You tore my clothes, aren't you going to pay for a new one?"
ah……
Take responsibility for this...
“Oh, then I’ll make it up to you,” Yan Buyu said softly, then looked down, “I’ll also make you a new pair of shoes.”
Si Jingxu bent down, reached out and lifted her chin to look her in the eye.
The man's eyes were full of smiles. "You seem quite disappointed that it's just about replacing the clothes?"
Even a dog looks at someone with peach blossom eyes with deep affection.
A sentence suddenly flashed through Yan Buyu's mind.
His deep, peach-blossom eyes stared intently at her, and the pleasant scent of sandalwood wafted from him on the night breeze.
Furthermore, he was bent over, and I could see his full chest muscles and part of his abdominal muscles through his tattered collar.
Yan Buyu swallowed hard, then suddenly blushed.
"I didn't." She took a step back and denied it outright.
Si Jingxu straightened up. "If you have any needs, just say them. Don't keep them to yourself, okay? If you don't speak up, no one will understand."
Yan Buyu misunderstood and quickly explained, "I have no need for it."
“If you don’t like the Lu family, you should tell them right away, instead of letting them guess based on your expressions.” Si Jingxu was much more serious than before.
He paused for a moment, then said, "But..."
“But you’re afraid of causing trouble, and you’re afraid they’ll reject you and you’ll lose face, right?” Si Jingxu finished for her.
He simply hummed in agreement without saying a word.
Si Jingxu continued, "Even a family needs time to adjust. If you're genuinely indifferent to these things, then you can continue to shut yourself off if you're just being hypocritical."
Yan Buyu fell silent again.
She was aware of her problems: she was sensitive, timid, and had low self-esteem.
She was afraid of being abandoned.
She was afraid that her mother and brother would be disliked and blamed by Uncle Shen because of her.
Therefore, she is good at observing other people's words and actions to judge their preferences and moods.
Just so I can take good care of my mother and brother.
She always believed that Uncle Shen was kind to her because of her mother.
She didn't believe she could be liked by anyone.
“Everyone loves you.” Si Jingxu reached out and tapped her nose, his voice deep. “You can accept Aunt Lan and Shen Yunqi’s love, so why don’t you dare to accept other people’s love?”
Something was suddenly sparked in Yan Buyu's mind.
She looked up at Si Jingxu and suddenly understood.
Yes, her mother and brother love her very much, don't they?
"Silence." It was Shen Yanzhou's voice.
Without a word, he turned around, and that usually gentle figure was walking briskly towards him.
Si Jingxu said from behind her, "Oh, big brother has come out looking for our little princess. Someone has compensated me for my clothes."
Yan Buyu: "...Brother Jingxu, I'll pay for the clothes and the shoes. Please be magnanimous and don't say anything else, okay?"
“Hmm,” Si Jingxu said, easy to talk to. “My little sister doesn’t want me to say, so I won’t. But it seems like I pulled on my back injury just now, ouch.”
utterly speechless, it would be better to fall into a pond and be nibbled on by the little fish.
"Why did it take so long?" Shen Yanzhou first glanced at his sister to make sure she was alright, then glanced at Si Jingxu.
He paused for a moment, "Jingxu, what's wrong with you...?"
Yan Buyu stood next to Shen Yanzhou, looking at him with an innocent expression.
Si Jingxu chuckled, "Ah, I slipped and almost fell, but luckily my sister came to my rescue and pulled me back with all her might, preventing me from falling into the water and becoming fish food."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanzhou smiled beautifully, "It is admirable to remain silent and act bravely for a just cause."
“Heh,” Si Jingxu laughed, “I’m not going back to my room, otherwise I’ll have to explain. I’m leaving.”
He turned away gracefully, giving Yan Buyu a meaningful look before leaving.
Without a word, a tremor ran through her heart.
This is so alluring.
She began to understand why wealthy women were throwing money at male models; no one could resist that kind of money.
"What are you thinking about?" Shen Yanzhou asked, noticing her staring blankly at Si Jingxu's retreating figure.
“If I had money, I definitely wouldn’t be a good person,” Yan Buyu blurted out.
"What?" Shen Yanzhou didn't hear clearly.
"Ah. It's nothing. I said let's go back. Big brother, what were you all talking about?" Yan Buyu looked at Shen Yanzhou with a smile.
"Speaking of He Tian's birthday, you'll come with me. I'll stay with you the whole time. Don't worry about socializing. Just remember, you're a member of the Shen family, and you're my sister, Shen Yanzhou's sister. No one will dare to make things difficult for you."
I just finished talking with Si Jing, and now my older brother is saying this.
With tears welling up in her eyes and a warm feeling in her heart, she said, "Big brother, you are so kind."
A sense of pride welled up in Shen Yanzhou's heart.
My sister says he's great!
He now understood why Shen Yunqi had remained silent.
My gentle and sweet little sister has big, bright eyes and greets you sincerely in a soft, sweet voice, always giving you whatever you want.
No, even someone like my sister, without her asking, would want to give her the best of everything in the world.
