He started pretending not to know her from Chapter 13.
As Yan Buyu requested, the car was parked on the street next to the school.
Shen Yunqi went to cheer her on, but she scolded him a couple of times.
He behaved himself.
“She doesn’t want others to know that she’s the child the Shen family adopted, so you’d better not go to her school to see her.” Shen Yunqi had already gotten out of the car, but turned back to Shen Yanzhou and said.
"Why?" Shen Yanzhou asked, puzzled.
He thought that with the Shen family's protection, she would have many conveniences in her studies and life.
"Because she's afraid of bringing shame to the Shen family and being kicked out by you." Shen Yunqi was too lazy to waste words, so he just made up a story.
Shen Yanzhou believed the half-truths.
No wonder Yan Buyu always seemed timid in his presence.
Not only that, she was always very careful, and she often had to watch her own expression when she spoke and acted.
He used to think that Yan Buyu was very sensible.
Now I realize it was fear.
They were afraid of being kicked out of their home.
Shen Yanzhou's brows were so furrowed they could trap a mosquito.
When did he ever say he would kick her out of the Shen family?
He clearly accepted her and treated her like his own little sister.
Which link in the chain went wrong?
"Keep silent!"
Yan Buyu walked to the school gate and saw Qin Nianke getting out of the black Bentley.
She was her classmate and best friend in college.
"Nianke!" Yan Buyu smiled broadly, "Are you confident about your physical test?"
The girl, who had been in a good mood, suddenly slumped her shoulders and complained, "Don't even mention it. I had planned to find someone to run the errand for me, but my cousin suddenly appeared and said that if I didn't run it myself, he would cut off my allowance."
"Ah." Yan Buyu expressed regret, but at the same time she understood Qin Nianke.
According to her, her family relied on her cousin to earn money.
My cousin is unhappy, and his family earns less money.
If her family earns little money and her parents are unhappy, her living expenses will decrease drastically.
Why……
Every family has its own troubles.
"It's okay, I've been training for a month. You can run with me, and we'll both pass."
Qin Nianke has a good personality; children raised in wealthy families don't care about such trivial matters.
Even if you can't outrun them, you can go to your parents and cry to them, asking them to ask your cousin to put in a good word for you.
She still got her university diploma.
But she was still happy that Yan Buyu was so loyal.
Qin Nianke, who was slightly taller than Yan Buyu, put her arm around her shoulder and said, "I knew you were loyal. After the physical test, I'll take you to a nice place."
"What good place?"
Qin Nianke said mysteriously, "You'll find out when the time comes."
The physical fitness test was conducted very quickly.
The two of them weren't afraid of anything except the 800-meter race.
It was only a few groups away before it was their turn to test.
"Ugh, I don't want to run anymore. What's the point of working myself to death? My makeup will be ruined." Qin Nianke got scared again when she got closer.
Yan Buyu took a deep breath and held her hand to comfort her, "It's okay, Nianke, it's okay. I ran with my brother before, and I only took a little over four minutes to run 800 meters. You can run with me, and I'll pull you if you can't. They probably won't be that strict."
"Waaaaah, Baby Buyu is still the best." Qin Nianke hugged Yan Buyu into her arms, and just as she pouted to kiss her, she heard someone call her name.
"Qin Nianke!"
The two people embracing looked at the same time.
They were all taken aback.
Yan Buyu stared wide-eyed. Who else could that outrageously handsome face be but Si Jingxu?
The tall, handsome man ignored the admiring glances from those around him.
He walked in with steady steps, wearing a dark blue suit with a matching overcoat. The tailoring was superb, making his figure appear even more upright.
He wore a pair of shiny black leather shoes, not a speck of dust on his feet.
The smoky gray hair did not detract from the overall look at all; rather, it exuded a sense of nonchalance amidst its elegance.
His dark eyes seemed to fall on Yan Buyu almost imperceptibly.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Cousin." Qin Nianke was still holding Yan Buyu, and her surprise at seeing the newcomer was no less than Yan Buyu's.
"Cousin?" Yan Buyu repeated in surprise.
Si Jingxu's lips curled slightly, then he raised an eyebrow at Qin Nianke, his voice cold and distant, "How long do you plan to hold me?"
"Huh? Oh," Qin Nianke finally stopped talking and stood obediently to the side. "Cousin, what brings you here?"
"Can't I come?" Si Jingxu asked languidly.
Yan Buyu was engaged in a fierce internal struggle.
Should we say hello?
If they greeted each other, Qin Nianke would definitely ask how they met.
Then I won't be able to hide the fact that I'm an adopted child of the Shen family.
But if she didn't inform him, she was afraid of offending Si Jingxu.
During their intense exchange of ideas, Si Jingxu's gaze finally fell upon her. He raised an eyebrow and slowly asked, "And this is...?"
“Oh,” Qin Nianke took a step forward, holding Yan Buyu’s arm. “Cousin, this is my good friend from school. She goes home every day too. We’re best friends. Her name is Yan Buyu. Buyu, this is my cousin.”
Qin Nianke squeezed Yan Buyu's arm.
That's my cousin, who's unpredictable, has a sharp tongue, and is ruthless.
Si Jingxu drew out an "Oh~" sound, "Buyu, what a good name."
Since he pretended not to know her first, she shouldn't blame him for going along with what he said.
"Hello," she said.
Si Jingxu's brows twitched slightly.
you?
Is he very old?
The tip of his tongue touched his back molars.
"Don't be so polite. Since you're my cousin's classmate, you can call me 'brother' too." Si Jingxu raised his chin, waiting for her to call him "Brother Jingxu" without saying a word.
Qin Nian was extremely surprised.
His cousin, who's always annoyed by everyone and never gives anyone face, actually said such polite things to her friend?!
ah? ! !
Is this the end of the world?
"Hello, cousin," Yan Buyu greeted again.
"Tsk." Si Jingxu was dissatisfied.
However, Qin Nian did not give him a chance to continue teasing Yan Buyu.
"Cousin, it's our turn to run, you'll be alone for a bit. If any female classmates ask for your contact information, don't give them a hard time or yell at them."
Qin Nianke grabbed Yan Buyu and ran away.
Si Jingxu was left behind with a somber expression.
He watched Yan Buyu's retreating figure and smiled.
I was so angry.
Well, what a well-behaved child, but a heart full of schemes.
It's only been a few days, and you're already pretending not to know me.
That's really great.
He found a shady spot, put his hands in his coat pockets, and watched the people warming up.
I've grown up; my face isn't as chubby anymore, and my chin is more pointed.
Her appearance hasn't changed much; she's still that pretty little girl.
"Hey handsome, can I add you on WeChat?"
When Si Jingxu appeared on the playground, it caused quite a stir.
He's so handsome.
He stood there, looking as good as a celebrity posing for a photoshoot.
She just looks unwell, giving off an aura that keeps strangers at bay and acquaintances at bay.
Finally, a girl mustered up the courage to ask for his WeChat, but before she could even get a glance in response, she was asked to leave by his assistant.
