“Starry Sky With You?” Shen Xi looked at the shop’s signboard and smiled.
“This name is quite romantic.”
“This is an outdoor rooftop barbecue restaurant. I heard that young people like to come here at night to have some barbecue, drink wine, and watch the starry sky when they go on a date.” Gu Chen’s eyes never left Shen Xi’s face.
“Young people?” Shen Xi smiled. “Why do you sound so old, aren’t you a young man too?”
Gu Chen stunned for a moment before replying, “The moment I was in a wheelchair more than ten years ago, I didn’t feel like a young man anymore. I spent those years like an old man with frail legs and got used to such a life. So, my mentality is no longer young.”
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen from the side with a little surprise. She did not speak.
Gu Chen met Shen Xi’s gaze and said, “You have lost your memory, so you don’t remember. Let’s go in first. If you want to know more, I can tell you.” Shen Xi nodded.
As soon as the two of them entered the shop, they were greeted by the starlight of the Milky Way, which was like a time tunnel.
“No wonder it’s called Starry Sky With You. Other than the stars that filled the sky, you could only see your companion. Isn’t that starry sky with you?”
“Both the sky and you are so beautiful!” Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi affectionately and muttered. His eyes did not move away at all. This was an extremely rare time for him. It was a good time for him and Shen Xi.
He was afraid that such a time would pa.s.s in a flash, so he could only cherish every minute and every second now.
Shen Xi walked in front as if she did not hear Gu Chen’s muttering.
Gu Chen sighed slightly. His gaze followed Shen Xi in front of her silently.
After the two of them walked through the long starry tunnel and went around the starry staircase, they saw the stargazing tent on the roof. Gu Chen followed behind Shen Xi. He followed Shen Xi to whichever stargazing tent she went to.
The moment he sat down, Gu Chen was looking at the other stargazing tents around him. This was the first time he went on a date with Shen Xi with such a sincere and uncalculating att.i.tude, so he didn’t know what to do.
He had never eaten barbecue before.
The head of the Gu family did not even know how to eat. If word got out, people would probably laugh, right?
Gu Chen nodded thoughtfully when he saw the man at the table next to him wrap the lettuce with meat and some other seasonings before putting them into the woman’s mouth.
Then, he turned his gaze to the other side. When he saw the man at the other table flipping the sizzling meat, he learned it in his mind.
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen in confusion and asked, “Are you really that hungry that you are looking left and right? Can’t you wait for us to order our dishes?”
The Attendant who was pa.s.sing the menu couldn’t help but hold back his laughter. Gu Chen quickly retracted his gaze and smiled at Shen Xi. “I’m watching how they serve their female dates.”
Shen Xi couldn’t help but feel a little amused. “Why are you watching them? They are on a date, we are just having a meal together. You don’t have to learn.’
Gu Chen was a little disappointed. He tapped his slender hand on the table twice as if he wanted to get rid of the annoyance in his heart. Then he continued to smile and reached out to the Attendant. “Let me take a look at the menu.”
The waiter was instantly mesmerized by Gu Chen’s smile. With a dazed expression, she extended the menu in Gu Chen’s direction.
Gu Chen saw the Attendant’s expression and then looked at Shen Xi, who was looking at the menu with great interest. He sighed in his heart.
His good looks had not attracted the person he should have attracted. His looks are all in vain.
In the past, Gu Chen hated being called beautiful because he would always be sized up. Those gazes made him extremely uncomfortable.
But now, Gu Chen was looking forward to his beautiful face attracting Shen Xi’s attention. Gu Chen himself felt that it was ridiculous, but what was even more ridiculous was that Shen Xi was not attracted at all.
Gu Chen sighed weakly. Then, he looked down at the menu. He didn’t know what was delicious, so he ordered all the recommended dishes.
He did not expect that when the food was served, there would be a crate of beer.
“Why? Are you planning to stay drunk tonight?” Shen Xi teased..
