Zhao Yuan adjusted her coat and nodded. “Alright, Xi, I’ll wait for you outside.”
In confusion, Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen, who had sent Zhao Yuan away, and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
Gu Chen shook his head and looked at Shen Xi with clear eyes. “It’s nothing important. But I just wanted to thank you. I’m thrilled that you can come to my birthday party tonight. I’m also delighted you’re willing to dance with me for the only time in ten years.”
Initially, Shen Xi thought that Gu Chen would say something important. She didn’t expect it to be just gratitude. She instantly smiled and quickly waved her hand. “There’s no need to thank me for a little thing.”
Gu Chen’s eyes flashed with starlight, making Shen Xi slightly panicky. She quickly advised, “Hey, are you going to cry? Don’t, don’t, don’t. You mustn’t cry. It’s such a small matter.”
Gu Chen smiled reluctantly, which was not very bright, and said, “It might be a small matter to you, but to me, it’s a sign that I’m standing up again. This was a significant time for me. After all, I hadn’t stood up for ten years.”
Shen Xi didn’t know how to persuade and comfort him, so she just chuckled in response to Gu Chen’s words.
After Gu Chen said it, he did not cry. He just reached out to Shen Xi’s head, and Shen Xi subconsciously dodged.
Gu Chen awkwardly said, “There’s something dirty in your hair. I’ll help you take it off.’
Shen Xi stretched her head over doubtfully. Gu Chen also approached Shen Xi slightly and took a ribbon from Shen Xi’s head.
Gu Chen held it and smiled, “Maybe the ribbon tied up in the ceiling just now.”
As the two talked, a dazzling car light suddenly lit outside the door. Gu Chen and Shen Xi could not stand such an intense light. They raised their hands to block the light and stood to avoid it.
Then, Zhao Yuan stuck her head out the car window and shouted at Shen Xi,
“Xi, Guan Lei is here to pick us up. Do you finish talking?”
Shen Xi quickly responded, “Oh! “I’m okay; I’ll be right there.”
Then, Shen Xi said to Gu Chen, “Guan Lei is here. I have to go back. Bye.”
Gu Chen stepped back slightly and made way for her. He also said goodbye to Shen Xi.
Gu Chen tilted his head and chuckled as he watched Shen Xi run towards the car. His sparkling fingertips gently slid across his red lips. He had an expression of wanting more. He raised his eyebrows and looked arrogantly and provocatively at the man in the car’s back seat.
When Shen Xi entered the car, he noticed the depressed air pressure. She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? The atmosphere is a little bad.”
Shen Xi followed Guan Lei’s line of sight and looked outside. However, she only saw Gu Chen sticking his head out and waving goodbye to Shen Xi sweetly. Shen Xi was even more puzzled.
Zhao Yuan sat at the front, looking down and not daring to speak. She had seen Gu Chen lower his head slightly and approach Xi. He had kissed her.
At that moment, her heart skipped a beat. She turned around to look at Guan Lei sitting in the backseat. Sure enough, Guan Lei’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Zhao Yuan immediately asked the driver to turn on the lights and called Shen Xi back.
Zhao Yuan could not imagine that she could only let Xi return in the face of such a gloomy Guan Lei. So far, only Xi could control Guan Lei, who looked like a fierce school bully.
Zhao Yuan winked at Shen Xi, hinting that she should take care of Guan Lei quickly. Shen Xi did not understand and asked in confusion, “Yuan, what are you doing? You’re winking. Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Zhao Yuan sighed. She had tried her best. After all, she was Xi’s best friend. If Guan Lei left Xi angrily, she could only choose another person to be a boyfriend for Xi. After all, Xi was good-looking, and Gu Chen was beautiful. They could be together.
Shen Xi nudged Guan Lei and asked, “Didn’t you say you had something urgent to deal with and had to leave first? Is it done so quickly?”
Upon hearing Shen Xi’s question, Guan Lei’s guilt was like a vine in his heart, instantly crawling over Guan Lei’s body.
Guan Lei didn’t say anything.. He hugged Shen Xi tightly and said, “Xi, if I do something bad, will you forgive me?”
