Chapter 40 You can't go skiing
"I ran into a drunk at the bar, I'm fine, but he's in a worse situation," Shen Yunqi grinned and slapped away Yan Buyu's hand. "Now you're being told not to drink?"
Yan Buyu sat on the armrest of the sofa next to him. "My older brother also told me that I will only drink at home from now on, and I will never touch a drop of alcohol outside."
Shen Yunqi wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
But the way she cried after drinking was really heartbreaking.
"Yan Buyu, you're not allowed to drink at home anymore! Do you hear me?!" After saying that, he felt it was too harsh, "At the very least, you can only drink when I'm around, understand? Otherwise, who's going to care about you!"
Yan Buyu nodded, then asked, "Brother, you really like your girlfriend, don't you?"
Shen Yunqi was taken aback for a moment, but then she thought that she was twenty years old now, so it wouldn't hurt to know. "Yes, she is gentle and kind, cute and charming, which is very much to my liking. I do like her. You should get to know her more in the future, and you will like her too."
This statement sounds a lot like the way the male protagonist in the novel I read recommended his girlfriend to his mother.
"Whatever you like is fine, but your feelings should come first," Yan Buyu said calmly. "Are you afraid she'll worry about your injury, so you're not seeing her?"
Shen Yunqi chuckled, "Yeah, she's timid. She'd probably cry if she saw me like this."
She's still a hopeless romantic.
There is no solution to this problem.
Without saying a word, she stood up and said, "I'm brave and hard-hearted. I won't cry. I'll apply the medicine to Young Master Chen."
"Speak no words, and do not speak in a sarcastic or ambiguous manner."
Shen Yanzhou had a business dinner that evening and couldn't come home for dinner, so he called Yan Buyu to tell her to eat well.
At the dinner table, Shen Yunqi said sourly, "I've only been away from you for a few days, and Boss Shen has already taken the opportunity to come in and act like the big brother. How insidious."
“What are you saying, family?” Yan Buyu ladled a bowl of porridge for him. “My older brother is also a good person. I was just being petty before.”
Shen Yunqi felt even more envious.
His sister has already started speaking on behalf of Boss Shen.
"I'm going out with Qiqi in a few days. Why don't you take a few days off and come with me?" Shen Yunqi suddenly said.
Yan Buyu paused for a moment, thinking about what she had overheard in the bathroom that afternoon, but quickly recovered. Looking at the rice in her bowl, she said, "I'm not going. I have exams coming up soon, and I need to study. You go."
Shen Yunqi knew that his sister was a studious person, so he didn't say anything more.
Suddenly, Yan Buyu raised his head and said, "Brother."
"ah?"
“You can go anywhere, but remember what you promised me: you can’t go to the snow mountain, and you can’t go skiing!” Yan Buyu stared at him intently with a serious look in her eyes.
Shen Yunqi nodded. She had told him since he was a child that he should stay away from snow-capped mountains and not let him ski.
Besides, Kiki said before that she wanted to go to Hawaii.
It's quite far away.
"Promise me!" Yan Buyu stretched out his hand. "Pinky promise with me!"
Shen Yunqi smiled helplessly, "Isn't that childish?" He then extended his hand.
Qin Nianke returned home and found Si Jingxu at her house.
She tiptoed, trying to sneak back to her room.
"Went to steal?"
It was her cousin's lazy voice.
Her parents also found out about her.
“You’re getting more and more outrageous as you get older. Your cousin is here and you didn’t even come over to say hello.” Qin Nianke’s mother got up and pulled her over. “You’re so rude.”
Mr. Qin shook his head in exasperation, "This child is becoming increasingly uncontrollable."
Si Jingxu glanced at Qin Nianke, who looked like a quail, and asked, "Where have you been gallivanting off to?"
Qin Nianke sat down obediently. "I went to have some snacks with my classmates. I didn't go anywhere else."
"With whom?" Si Jingxu asked.
"Speak not."
"What did you talk about?" Si Jingxu asked again.
Although Qin's parents found it strange, neither of them said anything. They just nudged their daughter's arm and said, "Your cousin is asking you a question."
Qin Nianke thought about the topics to discuss that afternoon and picked out the ones she could talk about, "Buyu asked me if you have a mistress."
Mr. and Mrs. Qin's expressions changed. "What kind of talk is this from a child!"
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. "She asked that? What did you say?"
Qin Nianke then stopped telling the truth, saying, "I said my cousin is a man of integrity who yearns for pure and beautiful love. He would never do such a messy thing. Although many people want to be his mistress, he hasn't even glanced at them."
Si Jingxu's lips slowly curved into a smile. "Well, Uncle and Aunt, I have to go now. Send the investment proposal you mentioned to my assistant."
Mr. and Mrs. Qin quickly smiled and got up to see them off.
How did this investment go so smoothly?
It just so happens that Si Jingxu was in a good mood.
Si Jingxu was indeed in a good mood.
Even Yan Buyu started to wonder if there were any women around him.
I got in the car and checked the time; it was only eight o'clock.
She definitely wasn't asleep.
I took out my phone, tapped the little mushroom icon, and sent a message with a light tap.
Yan Buyu repeatedly explained to Shen Yunqi, and only returned to his bedroom after Shen Yunqi swore to the heavens that he would never go skiing.
She glanced at the notification sound on her phone.
Si Jingxu sent her several stock codes.
But nothing else was said.
She was a little unsure whether to buy it or not, and whether to buy it now or later.
She didn't want to chat with people she didn't know well, but she wanted to make money.
Ultimately, her desire to make money led her to send a message to Si Jingxu asking him questions.
Almost a second after she sent the message, the person on the other end initiated a video call.
He frowned silently, wondering why he had to post a video.
Why can't I type?
She really doesn't like communicating like this.
Perhaps this is Si Jingxu's habit? People like him prefer to talk face-to-face.
For money.
Without saying a word, he pressed the connect button.
The light was a bit dim over where Si Jingxu was.
"Brother Jingxu," she spoke first.
"Hmm, have you eaten?" he asked.
"Hmm," Yan Buyu still felt uncomfortable even through the screen, and she just wanted to end it quickly. "Did you just send me a stock code? Did you recommend buying it or something?"
Little money-grubber.
If it weren't for making money, I would definitely pretend I didn't hear my phone call.
Si Jingxu looked at her amusedly, "Well, you can buy the first two when the market opens tomorrow. As for the latter two, observe them first. You can buy them if they drop for five consecutive days."
Yan Buyu carefully wrote it down, "Okay, thank you, Brother Jingxu."
"You're welcome," Si Jingxu said, enjoying her voice. "What stocks do you currently hold?"
Yan Buyu didn't tell the truth. "I don't own any stocks. I just bought some gold, which has been rising sharply recently."
“Gold,” Si Jingxu said, “just hold onto it, don’t sell it even if the price goes up.”
Yan Buyu thought so too.
From childhood to adulthood, whenever she had pocket money, she would spend half of it on buying gold.
More than a decade has passed, and she has bought a lot and made a considerable amount of money.
"Is there anything you want to ask me in person?" Si Jingxu lowered his eyes, his right index finger unconsciously gliding across the leather seat.
"Hmm? That's all. I've got the stock information all figured out, Brother Jingxu," Yan Buyu said while taking notes.
She must have been embarrassed, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Qin Nianke in such a roundabout way.
Si Jingxu rubbed his fingers together, not intending to tease her about this. "Come to my house for dinner with your older brother tomorrow night. Qin Nianke will be there too."
