Chapter 422 Fever
After getting off the plane, Huo Qingci and Meng Hui took a taxi home.
Shen Buyu got into the pink Rolls-Royce driven by Mu Zi.
Si Jingxu's black car escorted her to the bar before leaving.
Shen Buyu pushed open the door to the private room. The lights were on as usual, but the music wasn't playing. Qin Nianke was on the phone.
"Yes, that's right, okay, fine, I know, goodbye."
"Who is it? It's like they're just going through the motions. They're working overtime even though everyone's off work. Aren't you the boss?" Shen Buyu asked as he sat down to eat some snacks.
“Huo Qingci,” Qin Nianke said, “He said he got off the plane and asked if I wanted to have dinner together. I said I wanted to be with you.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, old man, new green tea," Shen Buyu had more complaints about Huo Qingci. "I clearly told him to his face that I would ask you out for dinner tonight, how come he pretended not to know?"
"Huh?" Qin Nianke was taken aback. "He forgot, didn't he?"
"Sister, you're so foolish!" Shen Buyi said sternly, "He did this on purpose, just making up an excuse to call you. There's really nothing more to say."
Qin Nianke stared blankly at her, then suddenly blurted out, "The way you are now is exactly like me back then when I scolded my cousin in front of you."
Silent: ...
There's no need to be so vivid.
She cleared her throat, straightened her posture, and said elegantly and gracefully, "Give me a bowl of braised pork rice, please."
Qin Nianke picked up the phone and called the front desk, "Two bowls of braised pork rice, two bowls of scallion oil noodles, and one serving of beef tendon, thank you."
"You've been starving for a few meals," Shen Buyu said, handing her some snacks. "Have something to eat first."
"Don't even mention it. I spent the whole day with Yu Cheng. He's on a diet, and I felt bad eating too. I have to make up for it."
"Yu Cheng? The newly signed actor?" Shen Buyu thought for a moment, "The one in your WeChat Moments?"
"Yes, I'll introduce you to him another day. After all, you're practically a behind-the-scenes boss, so you should get to know him." Qin Nianke said excitedly, "He's really handsome, and most importantly, he has a great character."
“Good character,” Shen Buyu repeatedly pondered these words. “Nianke, as your best friend, I have to remind you that you are now a married woman, although it’s fake. The public doesn’t know that. You can’t ruin your future.”
"How could that be? When I say he has a good character, I don't need to worry that he'll look down on our small company after he becomes famous. I would never do anything like that. Even when I was obsessed with men, I only dated one person at a time. I've never been two-timing."
Shen Buyu nodded, "That's true."
Qin Nianke is a good person.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sister, I got so angry that I lost my mind."
"My cousin is with you, and you still manage to make people so angry they're confused. Who's making you angry? My cousin, Huo Qingci."
"I think so."
After eating half a bowl of braised pork rice, Shen Buyu recovered and then recounted what had happened that afternoon.
Qin Nianke slammed her hand on the table. "What a lowly green tea bitch! I'll personally deal with her tomorrow and give her a good scolding."
“My dear sister, for life,” Shen Buyu raised her water glass, “I’ll toast you with water instead of wine.”
The two of them sat together and ate all the food they had ordered, complaining as they ate, having a great time.
Sharing with your best friends always brings joy.
Better than any psychologist.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went home.
Shen Buyu glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o'clock. "Nianke, let's bet, Huo Qingci is definitely still awake and waiting for you."
"No, his biological clock is very regular; he goes to bed at ten o'clock sharp."
"You see?"
When she got home, Shen Zhiye was yawning and waiting for her in the living room.
"Dad," Shen Buyu walked over quickly, "didn't you say we shouldn't wait? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
“Daddy’s not sleepy,” Shen Zhiye said, overjoyed to see his daughter. “It’s good to be back. Are you hungry?”
“I’m not hungry, Dad,” Shen Buyu said with heartache. She took Shen Zhiye’s arm and said, “Dad, don’t do this again. With Mu Zi here, nothing will happen. Besides, Mom gets her beauty sleep every day. If you stay up late, you’ll look older than Mom.”
Shen Zhiye laughed and said, "It's okay. If I go out with your mother like that, people will only envy me and think I'm very rich."
“You already have money,” Shen Buyu coaxed him with a smile. “There’s a travel allowance. I’ll buy you two skins tomorrow.”
"Hey, my dear daughter." Shen Zhiye was delighted. "Remember to close the windows when you go upstairs. The forecast says it will rain heavily tonight."
"Okay, I understand, Dad."
Shen Buyu returned to his room, sent a message to Si Jingxu, and then went into the bathroom.
An hour later, when I came out, it was pouring rain and thunder, with howling winds that sounded terrifying.
Shen Buyu picked up the remote to close the windows and curtains, but felt like there was something outside the window.
She was startled.
He casually picked up a vase and, with a bold but cautious step, walked towards the window.
She suddenly pulled back the curtains and was stunned when she saw the people outside.
"Why are you here? Why didn't you use the front door? What are you doing climbing through my window!" Shen Buyu scolded Si Jingxu, both anxious and angry.
Staying up in the middle of the night, getting soaked in the rain and climbing out of the window, that's really something.
"This is the third floor!" Shen Buyu grabbed his own bath towel and wrapped it around him. When he realized it wasn't big enough, he ran to the bathroom to get another one.
Si Jingxu was wearing a thin shirt, which was already soaked and clung to his body, outlining his superb physique.
Strands of hair were loose, dripping with water.
They look so pitiful.
“I just suddenly wanted to see you,” Si Jingxu said, taking the towel to wipe his face. “Buyu, what happened this afternoon has been resolved. That person will never appear in Beijing again.”
“Sit down quickly,” Shen Buyu told him to come in and sit on the sofa. “No, you’ll catch a cold. Why don’t you take a shower first? But I don’t have any clothes for you here. Can you wear my older brother’s? I’ll go get you a set.”
"Don't rush," Si Jingxu said, gripping her wrist. "I'm not sitting here anymore. You've made a mess of your room. I'll just look at you and leave without saying a word. I'm just here to tell you that this kind of thing will never happen again."
"Alright, I didn't take it seriously," Shen Buyu reflected, wondering if she had overreacted in the afternoon and scared him. "Huo Qingci is right, these kinds of things will happen a lot in the future. I need to learn to deal with them myself. This is just a small thing, Brother Jingxu."
It was worth it for him to come out in the rain in the middle of the night.
Si Jingxu couldn't resist and gently kissed her forehead.
He could clearly see the tenderness and love in her eyes.
In his opinion, getting soaked in the rain wasn't for nothing.
"Alright, that's enough. Either go take a shower now, or go home right now."
As the weather turns cooler, one can easily fall ill. Although he is in good health and rarely gets sick, it is always uncomfortable to have his clothes soaked through and clinging to his body.
Si Jingxu raised his hand and touched her face.
Shen Buyu frowned, his hands were freezing cold. "Let's go quickly, let's go inside."
“That won’t do, Uncle Shen will scold me if he sees this,” Si Jingxu said, then walked back to the window. “I’ll just go back the way I came.”
Shen Buyu watched as he nimbly and nimbly flipped down three floors.
He's quite handsome, though.
The next day, she received a call from Ling Huiwen.
As expected, Young Master Si developed a fever.
