"Shen Jingxiu, Shen Jingxiu, do you believe what you say? Do you really have no selfish motives?"
Shen Jingxiu frowned: "Yuanzhou, what do you want to do? Why do you keep emphasizing this point? Do you think if you force me to admit it, I won't object to all your actions?"
"No, I'm not forcing you to admit anything. As a friend, I'm just reminding you not to take the wrong path."
"I know what I'm doing."
"Then you should also know that your adopted sister is a free-thinking person. You can't stop her from loving anyone she wants to love, but that person absolutely cannot be you. You are indeed her family member, but you can only It could be her brother."
Shen Jingxiu's breathing stopped for a moment, but he soon spoke: "I know, I know this better than you. She and I will always be a family, so stop your groundless speculation."
Shen Jingxiu's demeanor and tone were so normal that Ji Yuanzhou even doubted his judgment just now.
He frowned and looked at Shen Jingxiu, his tone full of uncertainty: "Are you really not? Did I really misunderstand you?"
"What else?" Shen Jingxiu looked at Ji Yuanzhou with a calm expression, "You were so excited just now that you almost couldn't hold back your words."
Ji Yuanzhou chuckled, quite self-deprecatingly: "Who asked you to poke me where it hurts? Sure enough, the more familiar you are with someone, the better you know where to stab with the knife to hurt the most."
Shen Jingxiu knew what he was talking about.
He is the second son of the Ji family, and he is very popular in the eyes of outsiders, but his father has always liked him more than his eldest brother.
If it weren't for his elder brother's physical condition, he wouldn't have been called back this time.
"I'm sorry, I won't mention this again in the future. But regarding Wen Yan, my position will not change. I still say the same thing, you go after someone else. I don't believe that you have to be her after we have only met a few times. "
"What if I still want to give it a try?"
"I've already said this, if I continue, are you not going to be my friend?"
"But it's not easy for me to meet someone I'm compatible with."
"This is dopamine. Maybe the next second your dopamine will be released for another woman, or a man."
"Shen Jingxiu, you've gone too far. I'm sure there's no problem with my sexual orientation."
"Maybe one day a man shows up and you realize that your sexual orientation was wrong all along."
"..." Ji Yuanzhou was speechless, "Do you want to fight?"
"I don't want to."
"Then there is only the last possibility left between me and your sister."
"No, it's impossible between you."
"Can you please listen to what I have to say first? Maybe we are destined. Maybe I will meet her by chance, once, twice or three times. If that is the case, I hope it will not affect our friendship. Marriage is destined. , Have you heard of this word?”
"I don't believe in destiny, I only believe in deliberate and deliberate planning. It's like your coming here this time is not a coincidence at all."
"Shen Jingxiu, you are so cruel. Do you think desire is really that easy to control?"
"Isn't it difficult to control? Losing control is a terrible thing. I like the feeling of being in control of myself."
"Well, I agree with this. Losing control is really a terrible thing."
"So are we on the same page?"
"Jing Xiu, I don't want to."
"I didn't ask if you were willing or not, if we had reached an agreement."
Ji Yuanzhou let out a sigh of relief and was about to speak.
His cell phone suddenly rang.
He looked a little tired after seeing the caller ID.
"Hey, Dad.
"...No, I'm not in the country right now.
"……travel.
"...a temporary decision?
"……good.
"...The fastest is tomorrow, we won't be able to arrive tonight.
"...I know, um, I'm fine."
Although he couldn't hear what Ji's father said on the other end of the phone, Shen Jingxiu had a rough guess based on Ji Yuanzhou's reply.
Ji Yuanzhou is good at everything, but he is not good at this. He cannot fully control his life.
For this reason alone, he is not suitable for Wen Yan.
"You heard it all." After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuanzhou put a hand on Shen Jingxiu's shoulder. His tone sounded a little depressed, "You are right, my dad is very sad about this. I can answer you now, We have reached an agreement."
"Thank you."
"What else? Looking at the way you are hesitant to speak, if there is anything else you want to say to me, just say it."
Shen Jingxiu nodded: "Since you can see it, let me tell you the truth. Your father is a man who values strength very much. Although you have done well abroad in recent years, compared with the Ji family's domestic territory, it is still Much worse.
Now that your eldest brother has retired, you should show your achievements to your father. When you become the helmsman, you will naturally be able to control everything, including your own life. This is a good opportunity and you should focus on your career. "
"Thank you Jing Xiu. I originally planned to indulge myself these days, but now it seems that the vacation is going to end early. I have to go, and we will see you back home."
"See you."
"Say goodbye to Uncle Shen and Aunt Su for me."
"I will."
Looking at Ji Yuanzhou's back as he strode away, Shen Jingxiu felt that he should be breathing a sigh of relief.
But his heart was stuck somewhere, neither up nor down.
He wanted to ask himself a question.
Ask yourself if your opposition to Ji Yuanzhou's pursuit of Wen Yan is really just because he is afraid that Wen Yan will be hurt in the end...
But he didn't dare to ask, or even think about it.
Shen Jingxiu was a little irritated and turned around to go back.
As a result, when I turned around, the first thing I saw was a huge parasol.
He frowned.
When was this umbrella put up?
There shouldn't be this umbrella here when he and Ji Yuanzhou first came here, right?
How come he and Ji Yuanzhou didn't hear it during the ride? Was it because the argument was too intense?
Moreover, there were two men lying under the umbrella. They must have heard everything.
He and Ji Yuanzhou came here specifically just now because they thought there was no one here.
While Shen Jingxiu was thinking about this, one of the men wearing sunglasses under the umbrella had already stood up.
"Hey brother, are you done talking?"
Shen Jingxiu: "..." He was speechless. It's actually Shen Jingchuan! ! ! !
Shen Jingxiu took another look. Who else could the other person lying under the umbrella be if he wasn't Shen Jinghe?
It was the two of them. Shen Jingxiu didn't know what to think.
"When did you come?"
"It's been a while, but it's hard to say." Shen Jingchuan thought for a while, pointed to the two empty cans on the beach and said, "Did you see those two beer cans? I came here to buy cold beer and then drink it. After two bottles, it’s over for you.”
Shen Jingxiu: "...Why buy beer? When did you put up this parasol?"
"I don't know," Shen Jingchuan shrugged, "There was a teenager selling cold beer in front of me. He said he could rent the parasols here to me. There was no room under our parasols, so I rented them. . At first, I didn’t know it was you and your friend talking in front of us. I didn’t realize it until I heard you speaking Chinese.
"Actually, we didn't intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation with Ji Yuanzhou, but I heard Wen Yan's name. Brother..." Shen Jingchuan said, looking at Shen Jingxiu seriously, "What Ji Yuanzhou just said is true. To Wen Yan, he really..."
"No!" Shen Jingchuan was interrupted by Shen Jingxiu in the middle of his words, "Wen Yan is my sister, how could I have undue thoughts about her."
"..." Shen Jingchuan was stunned, "Of course I know this. What I want to ask is, is Ji Yuanzhou's father really interested in Yulong? And he mentioned it in front of you? Then Ji Yuanzhou has a crush on Wen Yan, but his father doesn’t like Wen Yan? "
"..." Shen Jingxiu's temples jumped.
It turns out that this is what the fourth child wants to ask. Why did I just answer his question before I listened to it completely? I really shouldn't have done this.
He nodded: "Well, that's pretty much what it means."
"Tch," Shen Jingchuan snorted disdainfully, "I still don't like Wen Yan, and I don't like that Ji Yuanzhou. How can he be worthy of our sister? Let me tell you, he doesn't have any It is even more difficult for the Ji family to match Yulong, and it depends on whether the Qin family agrees or not. "
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"That's true. You two have reached an agreement just now. He will never bother Wen Yan again, right?"
"Ah."
"It's so selfish. You are a big fire pit and you want Wen Yan to jump down. Brother, you are right. You have to nip this kind of thing in the cradle. But even if you let him chase Wen Yan, it will be useless, because Wen Yan Yan doesn’t like him at all.”
"Okay," Shen Jingxiu didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, "Let's stop it here, and don't mention it in front of Wen Yan, there's no need."
"Definitely not!" Shen Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, "I won't help him establish his presence in front of Wen Yan. Let's go. Didn't you say you were going to build a castle before?"
"Are you going too?"
"Can you help me?"
"Didn't you say that building castles is childish?"
"But being idle is even more boring."
"Okay." Shen Jingxiu nodded. Originally, he wanted to ask Shen Jinghe.
But seeing that he had his face covered with a magazine and had no intention of speaking, he didn't speak.
On the other hand, Shen Jingchuan kicked his foot directly.
"Get up, what are you doing, pretending to be dead!"
Shen Jinghe didn't even move: "Get out."
"Okay, anyway, I rented this umbrella for an hour. The time is not up yet, so you can just lie down and get up again, so as not to waste my money. Oh, by the way, you can help me bring these two beer bottles later. Let’s go. Consider it my reward for buying you a beer.”
After Shen Jingchuan finished speaking, he raised his legs and left.
As a result, before he had taken a few steps, he was hit on the back by a beer can.
"Take away the garbage you make. Also, I paid for the cold beer. You made a mistake."
"You! You are the biggest trash on this beach."
"Oh? Really? That's not even one ten-thousandth of yours."
Shen Jingchuan knew that he could not defeat Shen Jinghe, so he had to silently bend down and pick up the garbage.
"Just wait, you'd better not beg me again."
"Hmph, what virtue do you have to make me beg you? Dreaming."
"......Shut up. Really, I'm too lazy to tell you."
"Okay." Seeing the two brothers bickering, Shen Jingxiu shook his head helplessly, "Are you leaving yet, or do you want to stay?"
"impossible."
"Let him go!"
After the two left, Shen Jinghe uncovered the magazine covering his face.
He sat up and stared at Shen Jingxiu's back for a while.
I couldn't help but think in my heart, the question he just answered to the fourth child should be regarded as three hundred taels of silver in this place, right?
If he can like Wen Yan, then...
-
Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jingchuan went to meet Wen Yan and the others.
From a distance, they saw Wen Yan holding a camera to take pictures of them.
Shen Jingchuan didn't care about the camera. He even made a muscle-flexing gesture towards Wen Yan's camera from a distance.
Shen Jingxiu didn't like taking pictures very much, and he was dressed very casually today. He deliberately avoided the camera and walked to Wen Yan and Su Yang a few steps ahead of Shen Jingchuan.
When Wen Yan saw him coming, she immediately asked, "Brother, don't you like taking pictures? Look how twisted the fourth brother is, and you disappeared from my lens in the blink of an eye."
"Well, I really don't like taking pictures."
"Why don't you like it? You are obviously so handsome. It would be a pity not to take photos to record it. But one thing is that you are indeed a bit unphotogenic. Although you look handsome in photos, you are much more handsome in person than in the photos."
"Really? Thanks."
"What? You still don't believe it? Let me show you. These are the photos I took for you just now. I also took a few photos of you and Brother Yuanzhou's back, as well as the photos of the second brother and fourth brother when they walked over. photo.
Look at my composition, look at the light and shadow, it’s absolutely amazing. If you guys can form a boy band, it will definitely become popular all over Asia, and it will become popular as soon as it debuts. "
Shen Jingxiu shook his head: "I'm not suitable."
"I know, I'm just talking. The fourth brother actually has great potential. He gained so many fans after participating in that variety show, but he doesn't like this industry."
"Yeah, I think it's boring. I still like to deal with cars. By the way, why don't you compliment me? Am I handsome today?"
"You're so handsome. You look handsome wearing a sack. You look so handsome today."
"Oh?" Shen Jingchuan was so excited by the praise, "What's the difference?"
Wen Yan twisted her eyebrows at him: "You look so handsome when you're wet today, and your hair looks wilder than usual when you're wet."
"Really?" Shen Jingchuan, who knew he was very handsome, was a little bit grinning from ear to ear. "Then take a quick selfie to keep the moment when I am wild and handsome. Take your phone, I don't have it with me."
"Okay, I'll put the camera away first. Forget it, brother, please help me take it."
As she spoke, Wen Yan put the phone into Shen Jingxiu's hand.
Then he and Shen Jingchuan put their heads together and turned on the selfie mode.
Shen Jingxiu watched from the side, suddenly feeling wild.
He found that some emotions seemed to be going off the rails.
Ji Yuanzhou was an outsider, and when he saw him approaching Wen Yan, he immediately wanted to stop him. However, Jingchuan was a member of the family, so he had no position to stop them from getting close. We were all a family, so it was normal to take a photo on the head. But that's it.
But now, this idea has sprouted in his heart. (End of chapter)
