Chapter 86 Little Feather Doesn't Speak
Yan Buyu was clearly happier to see Shen Yanzhou than when he had just seen Si Jingxu.
"Big brother! You're here! Was there a traffic jam on the way? Are you tired? Where's my brother? Did he go home obediently?" She ran up to Chen Yanzhou and asked a series of questions.
Shen Yanzhou got up and helped her tidy up the stray hairs that had fallen out while running, his smile gentle. "There was no traffic jam on the road, I'm not tired, Shen Yunqi gets off work at five o'clock, and the driver has already taken him home."
He chuckled silently, "Big brother is so funny."
"Alright, let's serve the food. My sister is hungry; her stomach has been rumbling several times on the way here." Si Jingxu put Yan Buyu's schoolbag down and walked expressionlessly between the two siblings.
Private clubs don't have signature dishes, but you can have whatever you want to eat.
The menu that Si Jingxu had personally prepared yesterday was served quickly after he gave the order.
Yan Buyu's eyes lit up; these were all her favorite foods.
There wasn't a single food she didn't like.
"Can you get full just by looking? Eat up, or someone will feel sorry for you if you get hungry." Si Jingxu put a piece of meat into Yan Buyu's bowl. "Eat it while it's hot, and if you're good, I'll give you milk tea later."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute," Yan Buyu asked Shen Yanzhou, "Brother, where are my things?"
Shen Yanzhou handed her the gift box from the chair next to his seat.
The gloomy aura that had been ignored by Si Jingxu vanished instantly, and the corners of his lips couldn't be suppressed as he smiled.
He coughed lightly, put down his chopsticks, and watched the girl put the dishes out one by one.
He raised an eyebrow. So many.
Yan Buyu pushed a small box forward. "Brother Jingxu, these are the two handkerchiefs I borrowed from you before. They've been washed and are returned to you. Thank you."
Then came a slightly larger gift box. "I noticed you like handkerchiefs, so I picked out some for you while we were shopping. Take a look and see if you like the styles."
Finally, there was a square, dark blue leather box.
Si Jingxu had a premonition that this was the real gift she wanted to give.
Without saying a word, she opened the door and pushed it in front of him.
Si Jingxu lowered his eyes to a feather-shaped brooch, studded with tiny diamonds, its design unique and outstanding.
He has many accessories, but I still liked it at first sight.
"This brand is quite niche. Although it's not very expensive, everything they sell is one-of-a-kind, so you won't run into someone wearing the same thing. I asked my brother, and he said you guys wear it to some banquets. I'm very grateful for your help before, Jingxu brother. I hope you like it."
Si Jingxu's heart trembled again and again.
The diamond was bright, but even brighter were the girl's eyes.
She spoke softly, sincerely and naturally, and her words of thanks were neither exaggerated nor did she deliberately exaggerate the value of the gift.
It makes people feel very comfortable.
Si Jingxu reached out and took the box, then looked at Yan Buyu again.
Her expression showed both anticipation and unease.
This is probably because they're afraid they won't like it.
Si Jingxu smiled and said, "I like it very much, thank you, Buyu."
Yan Buyu's heart skipped a beat.
A glint of light shone in the man's eyes, and his genuine smile softened his entire being.
He didn't have his usual arrogant demeanor, nor did he have that mischievous grin that he was deliberately teasing her with.
While she was still in a daze, Si Jingxu reached out and pinched her cheek. "Let's eat, sweetie."
Yan Buyu's breath hitched, her hand on her lap clenched, and she quickly looked away, picking up her chopsticks to eat.
Si Jingxu and Shen Yanzhou chatted for a few minutes at the dinner table, and then talked about work.
Neither of them forgot to feed Yan Buyu, each taking a chopstick and counting how much she ate.
Finally, the waiter brought her a cup of jasmine milk green tea with 30% sugar from her favorite milk tea shop.
She subconsciously glanced at the man on her right who was chatting with his older brother.
Sensing her gaze, Si Jingxu also looked at her, raising an eyebrow casually, "Drink up."
Shen Yanzhou also noticed the milk tea in her hand. After thinking it over, he still spoke up, "Buyu, drink less. You ate quite a lot just now, and you won't feel comfortable sleeping tonight."
He was afraid his sister would think he was being nosy.
She smiled without saying a word and said, "I understand, brother."
Si Jingxu chuckled softly; she was really obedient.
The planned dinner for two didn't happen, but tonight was still a pleasant evening.
She doesn't like to talk to people she doesn't know well. If she were to go out to eat alone with me, we probably wouldn't exchange more than a few words all night, and I wouldn't even enjoy the meal.
After the meal, Yan Buyu got into the car with his brother and soon received a photo.
It was a selfie of Si Jing saying goodbye to that brooch.
The handsome man in the photo is smiling, raising his eyebrows slightly; even the glittering feather brooch is less captivating than his eyes.
Next came a text message: "[Because you're Little Silent, you sent me a little feather, right?]"
Without saying a word, she automatically adopted Si Jingxu's lazy tone and suddenly blushed.
She closed the dialog box, turned off the screen, and pretended not to have seen it.
If you didn't see it, you don't need to reply.
Si Jingxu did not receive a reply, nor did he continue to contact her.
I then posted that photo to my WeChat Moments with the caption: "[The little feather doesn't say anything]".
The comments section is buzzing.
Brother Long: Which company made these clothes? Order me a set.
Young Master He: Do you have that kind of physique?
Maple in the Wind: It all comes down to looks
Brother Long: Give me one of those little feathers, it's pretty shiny.
Si: I'm sorry, this is the only one available.
Shen Yanzhou: My sister has excellent taste.
Brother Long: ...
Young Master He: ...
Maple in the Wind: ...
Yan Buyu also saw this post, and her face burned as that unfamiliar feeling welled up in her heart again.
She didn't know what it was, nor did she dare to think about it too much.
The next day, on her way to school, she felt like people were pointing and whispering about her.
Once inside the classroom, the way her classmates looked at her made her very uncomfortable.
Qin Nianke had a dark expression as she held her phone, her manicured fingers almost poking holes in the screen.
"What's wrong, Nianke? You look like you've got a lot on your mind." Yan Buyu put down his bag and sat down.
Qin Nian didn't look at her. "You went to the school's confession wall, and we got our names posted there."
Without saying a word, he immediately turned on his phone.
The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
Several highly popular posts specifically mentioned two second-year French majors, surnamed Qin and Yan.
Some say Qin Nian is a scumbag.
Yan Buyu is a gold digger who engages in compensated dating.
Those who spoke ill of Qin Nianke posted multiple chat logs, confirming that she was dating multiple men at the same time, and claiming that her private life was chaotic and that she only liked muscular men from the sports department.
The woman who remained silent attached several photos of herself getting in and out of different luxury cars, with different men picking her up and dropping her off at school.
They also filmed her daily life, pointing out that her clothes, bags, and shoes were all very expensive and not something an ordinary family could afford.
The comments below were also overwhelmingly in favor of the opposing view.
[Qin Nianke, right? She keeps saying she likes muscular men, and she can't resist a handsome guy.]
[Hilarious! Her private life is so promiscuous. Her boyfriend is so handsome, yet she still plays around like that. Isn't she afraid of getting diseases? She's betraying people who are truly sincere—she'd be lucky to escape with her life!]
I've always suspected there was something wrong with Yan Buyu; he's always acting aloof and ignoring everyone. Is he implying we're poor?
[If everyone chips in, we can still make some money. How much does she charge per night?]
Don't be ridiculous. Can you even scrape together a luxury car worth ten or twenty million? They're high-class, they look down on those ordinary folks.
After reading a few messages without saying a word, Yan turned to Qin Nianke and asked, "You have a boyfriend and didn't tell me?"
Qin Nianke paused in her verbal sparring. "No, Miss, is that what you're focusing on?"
