Chapter 417 You're worrying about things like my dad now.
At the beach in late autumn, the temperature is low at night.
Shen Buyu wrapped himself in his coat, but the cold wind still blew straight into his neck.
"It's cold, let's go back." Si Jingxu took off his coat and wrapped it tightly around her.
“Actually, I don’t want to go back. I really like the beach at night,” Shen Buyu said, looking at the waves growing larger in the distance. “I feel very safe when you’re by my side.”
“Then I won’t go back.” Her unintentional display of affection always struck a chord deep within him. “I’m not cold.”
"Ten more minutes, let's stroll around for another ten minutes, then we'll go back and have hot pot." Shen Buyu held Si Jingxu's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
She's becoming more and more dependent on him.
"It's up to you. Work isn't important tomorrow. How about we have a couple of drinks?" Si Jingxu asked again.
“Okay,” Shen Buyu replied.
Anyway, tomorrow is Huo Qingci's show, so she just needs to be a good assistant on the sidelines.
A smile spread across Si Jingxu's face, a smile of triumph after successfully luring the child.
The couple strolled along the beach, neither of them speaking.
In the cold wind, the hands clenched tightly felt incredibly hot.
Less than ten minutes later, Shen Buyu felt sorry for Si Jingxu and urged him to return to the hotel.
Hot pot and drinks are ready.
"Go take a bath, the water's ready," Si Jingxu said, taking her coat. "I'll blow-dry your hair when we come out."
Chen Buyu stood still, while Si Jingxu was busy with something else, tilting his head.
Suddenly, someone said, "You're worrying about things like my dad now."
Then, before Si Jingxu could turn around, he dashed into the bathroom.
Si Jingxu watched her retreating figure and chuckled softly. She was being mischievous and amusing now.
As Chen Buyu soaked in the bathtub, he was enveloped in warm water.
She casually dialed Qin Nianke's number.
"Oh, young mistress, your life experience is over, and you've remembered me." Qin Nianke said while looking at the contract and having a video call on.
"Alright, alright, how much money do you need? Let me see if I have enough," Shen Buyu said, eating a piece of pineapple. "If not, I'll sell what I can."
“Oh, my dear sister,” Qin Nian said, her expression changing, “five million is enough.”
"Who is this person? They haven't even started making money yet and they've already spent so much?" Shen Buyu opened his account. "That's enough. I'll transfer it to you later."
"A very, very promising and upright young actor was sidelined for refusing to accept a director's advances, but I admire him. He has a good fan base, and with a good script, he could take off immediately."
Qin Nianke spoke of it as if she had unearthed some treasure.
"Won't this cause trouble?" Shen Buyu didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she often read entertainment news. "He offended someone. Aren't you afraid of getting implicated if you take him in?"
"Hehe," Qin Nianke chuckled mischievously, "Isn't it good to have a powerful backer? Everyone knows my company is backed by the Si family. I'm just benefiting from your connections, my future sister-in-law~"
Chen Buyu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Fine, you've used all your cunning on your sister. I knew you wouldn't let me withdraw my investment, you were just waiting for me here," Shen Buyu picked up a petal from the bathtub and tossed it away resentfully. "After all, your sister has been used."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you your year-end bonus and a gold chain, alright?" Qin Nian knew exactly what she wanted to do.
Shen Buyu held up two fingers. "Two fingers. One is out of the question."
"Two it is," Qin Nianke packed her things. "When you come back tomorrow night, let's go out for dinner."
"How did you know you'd be going back tomorrow night?" Shen Buyu thought for a moment. "Didn't I tell you?"
"Huo Qingci said it," Qin Nianke stretched, her voice tired, "He said he's going to have dinner with Grandma the day after tomorrow and asked me to go with him."
"What do you think of Huo Qingci..." Shen Buyu changed the subject.
"Aside from being quiet, he's a normal person."
"Oh, okay, the rating isn't low."
Shen Buyu didn't say much; she always felt that things wouldn't end so easily between the two of them.
From her current perspective, Huo Qingci is also a rare and normal leader at work.
Qin Nianke is someone who is prone to being attracted to scumbags, so it wouldn't be bad if she had someone with good character and sound values by her side.
Because he was video chatting with his sisters, Si Jingxu spent more time in the bathroom, and he couldn't sit still outside.
I was afraid she would catch a cold and faint from being soaked in hot water again today.
I stood at the bathroom door and dialed her number.
Shen Buyu, her hair wrapped up, opened the bathroom door, holding her ringing phone. "What's wrong, Brother Jingxu?"
Si Jingxu breathed a sigh of relief. "What's wrong? You were inside for so long and you didn't even know? I thought you fainted inside. Go sit over there and I'll dry your hair for you."
“Oh,” Shen Buyu obediently stepped aside, “pretty domineering.”
"What did you say?" Si Jingxu paused in his steps.
“I said, my Jingxu brother is the best, the best fiancé in the world. You take better care of my hair than I do myself. I don’t even want to comb my hair in the morning, I just want to let it down, it’s so smooth.”
"That's right, your brother Jingxu always comes first in everything. Come inside and sit down. I've heated up a glass of milk for you. Drink some first, and then we'll eat."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Si Jingxu worked with even more energy.
He lay on the sofa, quietly and happily playing a matching game.
This is one of the few recreational activities she has had since she started working.
It was half an hour later when Si Jingxu finished fixing her hair.
She was starving.
"This is your kind of wine, it's sweet and not too strong in alcohol, give it a try." Si Jingxu poured her a glass of light pink wine, and then poured himself some whiskey.
“Rose wine, oh, it’s delicious,” Shen Buyu raised an eyebrow slightly, it was the flavor she liked. “I’d like to try yours.”
"Your brother made you drink this?" Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow. "This liquor has a high alcohol content."
“My brother isn’t here,” Shen Buyu reached out his hand, “You’re not going to tell on me, are you?”
Si Jingxu handed her the wine glass, a smile in his eyes, "I'm afraid you'll tell on me."
He dared not offend any of his brothers-in-law.
Except for the dry one.
Shen Buyu took a sip, but couldn't taste anything, so he took a big gulp.
The burning, stimulating sensation made her squint slightly. She quickly called out to Si Jingxu, "Give me something to eat."
Si Jingxu brought the meat that had been drying to her mouth.
"How does it feel?" he asked.
"It's spicy," Shen Buyu exhaled painfully, "My esophagus is burning."
"Want to drink again?" Si Jingxu took the wine glass back. "One more?"
"Let's talk about it later," Shen Buyu waved her hand, her fair face instantly turning pink. "I'll consider it when I can drink low-alcohol sweet wine without feeling anything."
Si Jingxu finished the rest of her wine and then quietly poured her some more of her favorite rose wine.
If someone has just drunk strong liquor, drinking weak liquor will feel like drinking a soft drink.
Shen Buyu picked up his cup and downed half of it in one gulp.
