Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Shen Xi sent a message to Guan Lei. ” I’m having dinner with Zhao Yuan and the professor tonight. Please don’t wait for me. Eat first. Don’t starve. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson when I get back.”
When Guan Lei received Shen Xi’s message of concern, joy hung in the corner of his mouth. He replied, “Yes, my queen.”
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei’s reply and couldn’t help but laugh.
Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi’s smile. The water in his light-colored eyes swayed slightly. Then, he lowered his head and stroked the ball in his hand.
Gu Xing looked at Shen Xi apologetically and asked, “Shen Xi, can I trouble you to help me push Chen’s wheelchair? I still have a book in my hand. I’ll have to trouble you.”
Shen Xi was stunned for a moment before saying, “Okay!”
Zhao Yuan was also puzzled for a moment. She took the book from Shen Xi’s hand and thought, “Shen Xi has more books than the professor.” She felt that something was wrong.
Gu Chen apologized to Shen Xi behind him, “Sorry to trouble you, Ms. Shen Xi.”
Although strange, Shen Xi felt it was just pushing the wheelchair. It was not a big deal. She said in a relaxed tone, “It’s no trouble.”
They soon arrived at a high-end vegetarian restaurant. Gu Xing smiled and said, “Chen is a vegetarian. It’s hard for you to eat with us. However, the vegetarian dishes here were not bad. They were not inferior to those meat dishes.”
Zhao Yuan said playfully with eyes sparking, “No wonder you’re so good-looking. So you’re a vegetarian. Xi, I’ve decided to be a vegetarian too.” Zhao Yuan’s words made the others laugh softly. Shen Xi handed Gu Chen over to the Attendant.
Gu Xing looked at Gu Chen’s back and sighed, “Chen, this child’s life is bitter. He lost his parents when he was young. Ten years ago, he injured his leg and never stood up again.”
When Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan heard Gu Xing’s words, they felt sorry for him. He looked so young, but he could not walk and jump freely.
Gu Xing turned to Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan and said, “He doesn’t like to socialize with people usually, afraid of being laughed at. I don’t think he’s wary of the two of you. He seems to like the two of you. Can you please talk to him when you’re free? He won’t be so bored.”
Shen Xi was a little surprised. She and Zhao Yuan only interacted a little with Gu Chen. How did Gu Xing know? This was nonsense!
Zhao Yuan happily agreed, “Okay, okay. I’m happy to be friends with good-looking people.”
Gu Xing looked at Shen Xi. Shen Xi could only nod and say, “Okay, we can, but we’re only here to participate in the training. After the training, we might go back.”
Gu Xing was slightly disappointed but quickly adjusted herself and smiled. “Then I’ll be selfish and pray that the two of you can get into a university in Beijing in the future.”
Zhao Yuan was amused.” Professor, you’re not being selfish. You’re being compassionate. If I can get into a university in Beijing, my parents will be secretly happy. I’m very biased in my subjects. Other than Chinese and Chemistry, the rest could be a complete mess. My parents have already contacted overseas universities for me. I will get into an overseas university immediately if I fail.”
“If you perform well during the training this time, you’ll be able to get a recommendation from many schools.” Gu Xing smiled.
“Then I’ll take your blessings, Professor. Hahaha!” Zhao Yuan said happily.
When they arrived at the private room, Gu Xing pulled Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan to sit beside Gu Chen. She smiled and said, “You young people sit together.”
As she spoke, she asked the Attendant to bring the menu over. She asked them about their preferences and avoided particular food, and ordered a few dishes that she suggested they try.
After the meal, Gu Chen was as quiet as Gu Xing had said. He ate most of the time quietly. His elegant and soft movements made him look like a young master from an aristocratic family. Shen Xi kept praising him, and Zhao Yuan’s eyes were filled with admiration.
Such a gorgeous appearance could reveal the elegance of a young master. It was a little remarkable. There was a feeling of a magnificent peony but elegant, otherworldly, strange, and harmonious.
The meal was over very quickly. Gu Xing wanted to send Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan back. But they felt a little embarrassed to ask her to send them back after eating her meal, so they refused desperately.
Gu Xing could only give up. She reminded them to be careful and left with Gu
Chen.
Looking at the two figures standing at the restaurant entrance getting smaller and smaller, Gu Xing placed her palm on the back of Gu Chen’s hand and asked softly, “You like Shen Xi?”
Gu Chen didn’t answer. He just looked at the ball in his hand and said, “She helped me get the ball back.”
Gu Xing smiled and understood..
