When Gu Chen saw Shen Xi standing up like a hedgehog to defend himself, Gu Chen laughed softly and slowly approached Shen Xi again. He whispered, “Xi, it’s me.”
“Are you Gu Chen?” Shen Xi asked tentatively.
“It’s me.” Gu Chen smiled.
Shen Xi recognized the height of Gu Chen’s voice and asked with a puzzled face, “You seem to be standing and talking to me. I can feel your aura right above my head. But…”
“But I’m in a wheelchair, aren’t I? Is that what you want to ask me?” Gu Chen continued.
Shen Xi didn’t answer directly. After all, this was a sensitive topic. She was afraid she would let Gu Chen recall the terrible things that happened to him.
Gu Chen understood Shen Xi’s scruples and said in a relaxed tone, “I’m treating my legs, but the legs aren’t flexible yet. So, Xi, can you reach out and help me up a little?”
Shen Xi quickly reached out her hand in Gu Chen’s direction.” Sure, be careful to fall.
Gu Chen smiled so brightly that his eyes were curved. Even the corners of his mouth curled up into a satisfying arc. Then, he placed his hand in Shen Xi’s palm.
When she touched Gu Chen’s hand, Shen Xi held him firmly. Then, she pondered momentarily and said, “How about I take you to rest? I can roughly tell the direction. The resting area should be behind me.”
Gu Chen looked behind Shen Xi and indeed saw the rest area. He didn’t expect Shen Xi to have a strong sense of direction. The waiter brought Shen Xi around a few times, and Shen Xi also walked around a few times in person but did not get lost.
However, Gu Chen spent so much effort not only to let Shen Xi help him to rest area.
Gu Chen’s voice was a little pleading. “Xi, today is my birthday, and it’s also my first time walking alone. I want to dance to celebrate.” Can you be my dance partner? I went around the whole place and only met you.”
Shen Xi was a little troubled. She had just promised Guan Lei that she would go with him. If she found someone else, Guan Lei would be unhappy, right?
Gu Chen saw the awkward look on Shen Xi’s face and felt a little jealous, but he suppressed himself. Then, Gu Chen looked at Gu Xing beside him.
Gu Xing, wearing night-vision gla.s.ses, caught Gu Chen’s gaze. She walked to Shen Xi and said softly, “Shen Xi, your friend, Guan Lei, just said that he had something to deal with and must leave first. He feared you would be worried if you couldn’t find him later, so he asked me to tell you that he had left first and let you have fun. He also sent you a message.”
Shen Xi was slightly stunned. Guan Lei had left first. Why did something happen so suddenly? Why didn’t he say so earlier? She had been looking for him everywhere, and her nose was about to grow calluses.
“Okay, I understand.” Shen Xi smiled and thanked her. Thank you, Professor
Gil.”
Gu Xing sighed softly, pulled Shen Xi’s hand, and said, “Xi, Chen can just stand up and walk today. He’s a little excited and wants to dance. Can you replace me and lead him to dance? I’m a little worried about him. I’ll only be at ease if you’re by his side.”
Since Gu Xing had spoken and Guan Lei had left first, Shen Xi did not care anymore. She had done this kind of ballroom dance with other boys in school before. As long as Gu Chen did not fall and moved slowly, it should not be a problem.
Shen Xi nodded and said calmly, “Sure,”
Gu Xing gently held Shen Xi’s hand with a smile and placed it in Gu Chen’s hand. Then, she took off Gu Chen’s gla.s.ses and slowly retreated to the edge of the dance floor.
The soft and graceful music in his ears and the faint fragrance of the beautiful woman in front of him made Gu Chen’s mood instantly brighten up a lot.
Gu Chen gently wrapped his arms around Shen Xi’s waist. As Shen Xi’s body moved, Gu Chen slowly followed the rhythm of the music and carefully stepped on the dance steps.
Shen Xi noticed that Gu Chen’s dance steps seemed a little fast, so she quickly said, “You can just walk, don’t dance so fast. The music is very soft and slow.
Follow the rhythm, or I’m afraid your legs will hurt.”
Gu Chen nodded softly. His gentle voice sounded a little s.e.xy in the dark.
Thinking of Gu Chen’s charming appearance, Shen Xi was instantly glad she could not see his face. Otherwise, she felt that she would obsess over him..
