Chapter 130 I Like You
"Miss Silence is so domineering, she won't even let me speak." Si Jingxu wanted to wipe her tears, but as soon as he raised his hand, his brows furrowed.
Yan Buyu quickly moved closer to him and gently held his hand. "You must have hit your back and hurt yourself. Don't move. The doctor will be here soon. Don't move, Brother Jingxu. Don't say anything either. Your voice is weak."
A layer of sweat appeared on Si Jingxu's forehead; he had just pulled his shoulder blade.
But he still forced himself to say, "I'm not afraid."
Yan Buyu glanced at the rock that had hit him earlier. It had fallen from the mountaintop and wasn't very big, but the impact was something most people couldn't handle.
You can imagine how painful it must be for him right now.
"Zhou Ze." Yan Buyu looked at Si Jingxu, "Where's your phone? Did it get wet? Is it still usable?"
"Left pocket." Si Jingxu finished speaking, closed his eyes, and leaned his head against the tree behind him.
Without saying a word, he took it out, and it still lit up. "Where's the password?"
"520917"
Without giving it much thought, Yan Buyu found Zhou Ze's number in his contacts, briefly explained the situation, and the other party immediately went into battle mode.
Si Jingxu's forehead was covered in even more sweat than before.
Qin Xing answered the phone, "The ambulance is here, but we can't find the location. I'll go pick them up. Yueyue, come with me. They don't have enough people and need help carrying things."
The brother and sister left.
He dared not touch Si Jingxu, nor could he pull him aside to speak.
I could only gently wipe the sweat from his forehead, hoping it would make him feel a little more comfortable.
Si Jingxu paused for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes, his voice even weaker than before, "Yan Buyu, I have something to tell you."
This opening is like giving instructions for one's death.
Tears streamed down her face without her saying a word. "Don't talk. You'll be fine. The doctor will be here soon. Zhou Ze has contacted the hospital. You'll definitely be alright."
"Hold my hand," Si Jingxu said weakly.
Without saying a word, he immediately did as instructed.
Si Jingxu squeezed her hand, frowned, and took a light breath. "Listen to me."
He's very persistent; refusing him will only drain his energy.
"I'm listening. Speak slowly, and stop if you feel uncomfortable." Yan Buyu wiped away her tears and spoke gently, "Is there anything you need to tell me?"
"I told you before that I would let you know when I confessed to someone else, so now you should get ready."
"Do you want to make a call?" Yan Buyu took his phone, unlocked it, and said, "Shall I dial for you?"
"I like you, without saying a word." Si Jingxu gripped her hand tightly, weak yet resolute, and said, word by word, "It's been four years, I've liked you for four years."
They remained frozen in place, speechless.
Having experienced so much all at once, she seemed to be hallucinating.
Si Jingxu continued, "Four years ago, one day, your older brother returned to the capital, and I went to your house to find him. I happened to see you and Shen Yunqi acting coquettishly in the courtyard."
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet as she tugged at the arm of the blue-haired man beside her and shook it gently, "Brother, brother, brother, you're the best brother. I love you the most. Don't go racing with other people, it's too dangerous."
The blue-haired man scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I've already told those bastards that I have to go and teach them a lesson."
The little girl burst into tears, covered her face, and squatted down on the ground. "You don't like me anymore! Don't you like me anymore?! I'm not your favorite little sister anymore! You'd rather risk your life with a bunch of spoiled brats than play video games with me! Ah!"
Shen Yunqi seemed to have planned it all out. He lowered his head and chuckled twice, then slowly squatted down, coaxing her in an incredibly gentle tone, "Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go. Don't cry. I love you the most, your brother loves you the most. I'll help you hoe the ground, plant vegetables, and water them later. I'll block those bastards, let them say whatever they want, okay?"
The girl suddenly looked up, her face dry of tears, her eyes bright. "You said it? You're not going anymore? You won't go again?"
Seeing her fake crying, I wasn't surprised at all. I patted her head and said, "I'm not going. I don't dare to go. My sister said to be careful when driving and not to exceed the speed limit. I remember that."
The little girl jumped up, beaming, and took Shen Yunqi's arm. "I knew you were the best, brother! How about I cook you noodles? I'll make you a fried egg today. I'll play games with you too, okay?"
Shen Yunqi's smile stretched from ear to ear as his sister pulled him into the house.
Si Jingxu has many friends, and quite a few of them have younger siblings, but he's not interested in them.
He only knew of the two from Shen Yanzhou's family, but had never met them.
Not to mention that sister who is not related to me by blood.
But today, just hearing her soft, sweet voice, I couldn't move my feet.
Those bright, sparkling eyes, and her charming and lovely appearance, were deeply etched in his heart.
For the first time, he wanted to know more about a person.
Qi Feng knew everything about everyone's affairs, and after only two drinks, he had asked enough questions.
Hearing that she was only sixteen years old, Si Jingxu frowned.
Too young, not even an adult yet.
"I endured not seeing you for two years, only occasionally having people inquire about you, and sometimes I would go to your school gate to see you after school."
Si Jingxu said in a calm voice, "Later, when you were eighteen, you were admitted to university. Your family held a celebration banquet for you, and I saw you openly again."
The eighteen-year-old girl had grown taller and thinner, but her soft, sweet voice and those unforgettable eyes remained unchanged.
The problem is... he's still too young. He's twenty-four, and the girl is only eighteen.
And so, another two years passed.
Until Shen Yanzhou returned to China this time.
He saw the person he had been longing for day and night in the bar's private room, and the feelings he had suppressed for four years could no longer be contained.
He didn't want to accept any more.
“Look into my eyes, and don’t say a word,” Si Jingxu said, his lips pale. After calling her name, he paused for two seconds. “I like you.”
She stared at him blankly, her captivating peach blossom eyes reflecting her current appearance.
Disheveled and clumsy.
"I..." Yan Buyu swallowed hard. "The doctor's here. Shall we examine you first?"
Si Jingxu closed his eyes briefly. "I'm just expressing my feelings, not getting married. You have to promise me that even if I die, you'll still be single, not widowed."
Upon hearing the word "death," Yan Buyu's stunned expression changed.
She frowned, her voice slightly reproachful, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you die? You won't die, you'll be fine."
"So, will you agree or not?" Si Jingxu coughed twice, his brows furrowed, looking like he was in pain. "Do you dare to admit that you also have feelings for me, feelings that are different from your brothers'?"
The once spirited young master of the Si family was now covered in mud, his hair half-dry, and his face pale and weak, like a scholar whose yang energy had been sucked away by a demon.
He was injured while saving her, but he didn't mention a word about asking her to repay the favor.
Besides, he's right, I have a feeling for him that's different from any other person's.
