Chapter 558
his face full of praise for her was also true.
he was really proud of her.
This was his little sister. Even though she had left the capital for almost ten years and had not paid attention to the people and Affairs of the capital, she was still able to obtain first-hand information when she came back, and she was still able to muddle along like a fish in water.
Shi Bozhen had his own business in the capital, but it had nothing to do with him running away from home. Shi Yan had left the capital for so many years, but didn’t she still have her own business in the capital?
It was just that there was a slight difference between Shi boxiang running away from home and Shi Yan’s. Because of his profession, Shi boxiang often had to go everywhere to film and rush for jobs, so of course, he often came to the capital.
he had run away from home only because he did not want to return to the shi family.
Shi Yan smiled and said nothing.
Shi Bocheng didn’t care where she got the news from, whether she had investigated it herself or if she had gotten Jiang Che’s help. He simply asked Shi Yan out to have a good meal with her.
...
of course, he also had something to say, but those were all after the meal.
even if there was a huge matter, it would have to wait until after this meal.
the two of them enjoyed the meal.
after the meal, the two of them did not leave immediately. they asked someone to clean up the private room. the two of them sat opposite each other by the window, and in front of them was the tea that the waiter had just served.
“How does the moon Pavilion compare to the Jade Food House?” shi boxiao asked shi yan as he looked out of the window.
Shi Yan took a sip of tea and looked out the window. She asked him with a smile,”second brother, are you asking about the food or the scenery outside the window?”
“Ask them all.” shi bozhen retracted his gaze from the window and stared at her. ” you must give a fair evaluation. don’t be biased! ”
“naturally.” Shi Yan smiled helplessly.
” each dish has its own merits. as for the scenery outside the window, the beautiful jade restaurant is more to my liking. ”
meeting shi boxiang’s slightly dissatisfied gaze, shi yan smiled and said, ” to be honest, second brother, you know that I prefer a quiet courtyard to a bustling city.
behind the jade eatery was a quiet courtyard, and behind the moon pavilion was a busy city. although it was an ancient street that matched the moon pavilion, there were many pedestrians coming and going.
...
Fortunately, the Moonview restaurant was high enough, so the noise didn’t seem too noisy here.
“the moon pavilion is also very quiet. from here, isn’t the antique street beautiful? just admit it, little girl, you’re biased.”
the two of them chatted casually, from the scenery outside the moonview restaurant to shi bozhen’s recent movie, to ju yanya, and then to shi yan’s studies. neither of them mentioned anything about the shi family in the capital.
however, there were some things that you had to face just because you avoided talking about them.
Seeing that Shi boxiang had been avoiding the topic, Shi Yan knew what he was trying to do, so she said, ” “Jiang che will only help me apply for a week’s leave. I have to return to Haicheng by Sunday at the latest. It’s already Tuesday, and I have some other plans for tomorrow and the day after. The day after that is Friday, and I plan to go back to the Shi family. Second brother, do you want to come along?”
shi bozhen was hesitating about how to bring this up to her, or how to ask her if she wanted to go home in a more tactful way. however, he felt that no matter what he said, it wouldn’t be appropriate. that was why he kept talking about other things.
he didn’t expect her to say it so easily!
He even directly said when he was going back.
shi bozhen’s feelings were a little complicated.
with her relaxed attitude, did she really not care about anything or did they care too much? in his heart, he felt that it was good that she didn’t care about anything, so she could be more relaxed. but she really didn’t care about anything, and he felt a little sad.
most importantly, she was not as relaxed as she appeared to be.
...
it was really relaxing. she had always been in good health, so she wouldn’t have fallen sick on the first night she returned to the capital.
shi boxiao collected his thoughts and asked, ” “You’re coming home on Friday? Are you sure?”
this hesitation came from the uneasiness in his heart caused by uncertainty and anticipation.
The reason why he left home that year was to hope that she could come home again.
Shi Yan clenched the teacup in her hand and smiled at him.”what’s there to be uncertain about? this was one of the reasons i came back to the capital, so i can’t let you keep following me around, can i? It doesn’t matter what you do, but when you get to sister Yanya, are you going to let her follow you around?”
shi bozhen’s expression was complicated.
after a moment of silence, he said,”you’re already using your second brother as a joke, you’re not learning well!”
she sounded like she was joking, but shi bozhen knew that she wasn’t entirely joking.
shi bozhen believed that he was part of the reason she decided to go home now. although this girl had never wavered because of him in the past nine years, he was still a little touched because of ju yanya’s success.
The little girl was cruel to her brother, but she was very good to her future sister-in-law.
“Second brother didn’t deny what I said. So, you’re really pursuing sister Yanya?” Shi Yan said with a smile.
...
shi boxiang glared at her.
ignoring his threatening look, shi yan continued to smile and say, ” “How’s the progress? Do you need my help? i have a good relationship with sister yanya.”
“Yingluo, of course it’s good that you can help.” he wanted to be tough, but this was the first time in his life that he was chasing someone. he didn’t know how to do it, so he didn’t know where to start.
When his words met Shi Yan’s smiling eyes, Shi boxiang felt a little embarrassed and stammered, ” ” we’ll talk about this when we get back to haicheng. the film we’re working on now still has some time before it’s finalized. since we’re shooting the film, our work won’t be too far away from haicheng for the time being. ”
“Little girl, I’m warning you, don’t look at me like I’m a joke!” He glared at Shi Yan.
second brother, you’re thinking too much. I’m not laughing at you. I really want to help you win the Beauty’s heart.
shi bozhen flew into a rage out of humiliation. he glared at her. ” you said you weren’t here to make a fool of me. you are! ”
“if you say so, then so be it.” shi yan said reluctantly.
shi bozhen,”yingluo.”
seeing that he was speechless, shi yan smiled. ” then let’s go back on friday. i’ll ask second brother to come with us. ”
she had changed the topic so quickly that shi bozhen didn’t have time to react.
...
when he finally reacted, he put away his joking attitude. ” “no, i might not be free that day. i’ll be back on thursday.”
Of course, it was a lie that he didn’t have the time. He had already pushed back a week’s work when he returned to the capital. he just wanted to go back one day before shi yan. he hadn’t been home for nearly ten years, so he needed some time to familiarize himself with the situation at home. this way, he wouldn’t be unable to help her when she came home.
He didn’t say his intention clearly, but Shi Yan knew it in her heart.
she didn’t reject his good intentions. she had received more kindness from him before, and she didn’t lack this. she would find an opportunity to return it to him in other ways. if she didn’t accept it, she would only make him angry.
” that’s good. if you’re not busy that day, you can wait for me at home to have dinner together. ”
her words lifted shi bozhen’s mood, but he was afraid that it would be too obvious, so he tried hard to control the corners of his lips. ” “Well, if you’re not busy, I’ll wait for you at home for dinner.”
after shi yan left the private room, shi poxiang realized that their heavy conversation had ended so easily.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the door, but Shi Yan was no longer there.
shi boxiao suddenly laughed.
this girl was doing it on purpose. in order to take care of his mood, she deliberately picked some light topics to talk about first, and then used a joking tone to make him unconsciously relax before slowly getting to the main topic. the topic that he had been hesitating about was easily skipped.
How old was she? she didn’t know how she grew to be so scheming.
...
as he laughed, shi boxiang’s heart started to ache.
what was the point of a little girl being so sensible?
she had to take care of everyone’s feelings. couldn’t she be a little more selfish and think for herself? She was clearly the one who felt the most terrible when these things were mentioned.
