“l didn’t eavesdrop. I’ve been standing on this balcony a long time ago. You guys ran to me yourselves.” Guan Lei retorted.
“Then you were eavesdropping. What a scoundrel!” Shen Xi snorted twice to express her dissatisfaction.
“Xi, I feel so lucky to be able to find you.” Guan Lei suddenly said in a heavy voice.
Guan Lei had seen Chen Yu’s expression just now. If it wasn’t for the fact that the heavens were looking out for him, he might have been as sad as Chen Yu. If he couldn’t grow old with the person he loved, what was the use of life?
“Why are you suddenly acting odd?” Shen Xi asked with a smile.
“No, I’m just feeling emotional. Xi, let’s go on a date tomorrow.” Guan Lei said. He wanted to spend more time with Shen Xi.
“Where are we going?” Shen Xi leaned leisurely against the railing of the balcony and tilted her head to look at Guan Lei.
“Let’s go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. I’ve always wanted to bring you there, but unfortunately, we didn’t manage to go.” Guan Lei sounded regretful.
If he hadn’t insisted on his own way back then, he and Shen Xi would have been able to travel all over the country in these four years.
“Alright, see you tomorrow morning!” Shen Xi agreed.
Guan Lei was very excited as he replied, “Okay, I’ll pick you up at your house tomorrow. ”
Shen Xi went down to tell her parents that she wouldn’t be working tomorrow and would be on vacation.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan had no choice but to give Shen Xi a day off. They had no choice but to spoil their daughter.
Early the next morning, Guan Lei knocked on the door of the Shen family’s residence. As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Yan and Lu Shan sitting in the living room.
Guan Lei came to Shen Yan and Lu Shan with a big bag on his back. He was all smiles as he greeted, “Good morning, uncle auntie! You guys woke up quite early!
“You’re quite early too!” Lu Shan raised her eyebrows slightly and said in an indifferent tone.
“Yeah, 1 asked Xi out to play, so 1 came early and waited for her.” Guan Lei was a little embarra.s.sed.
“Xi,” Lu Shan said in a gentler tone, “She hasn’t come down yet.” She was satisfied with Guan Lei’s att.i.tude.
“It’s fine. I’ll wait.” Guan Lei immediately replied.
“The sun is quite strong today. What if Xi gets sunburned when they go out to play?” Shen Yan looked out of the window and suddenly said.
“Uncle, I’ve brought some sunblock, a parasol, a sun hat, and ice sleeves. I’ll definitely not let Xi get sunburnt. I also brought a lot of things, water cups, drinks, snacks, hair bands, slippers, folding stools…” Guan Lei rummaged through his big bag and counted the things that he had asked his men to prepare overnight.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan’s eyes widened in unison. They thought that Guan Lei was really attentive. He could find anything he wanted in that big backpack.
Originally, Shen Yan wanted to say a few words to Guan Lei, but seeing Guan Lei’s preparation, he was too embarra.s.sed to say anything.
At least he knew how to use his brain to think and prepare ahead.
As soon as Shen Xi went downstairs, she saw Guan Lei squatting on the ground and getting his stuffs out one by one. She asked with a little amus.e.m.e.nt, “Guan Lei, what are you doing?”
“I’m showing uncle auntie some outdoor necessities,” Guan Lei said seriously.
“Hurry up and put it away. We don’t need so much trouble.” Shen Xi facepalmed. She felt speechless.
“Why not? I’ll make sure to send you back home the same way you look before you head out today. So, these protective measures are essential.” Guan Lei said disapprovingly.
“Alright, as long as you’re happy!” Shen Xi shrugged and smiled.
The auntie brought Shen Xi’s breakfast over.
“Have you had breakfast?” Shen Xi asked Guan Lei.
Guan Lei looked up at Shen Xi and shook his head.
“Since you haven’t eaten yet, you can eat with Xi,” Lu Shan coughed lightly and said casually, “It’s not our customs to mistreat our guests at the Shen family.”
Shen Xi hid her smile and thought to herself, ‘Mom, you weren’t like this when he came last time.’
The last time Guan Lei came, they happened to be having hotpot together. Guan Lei did not even get to enter the house. This time, when Lu Shan said this, Shen Xi was happy.
Guan Lei’s eyes lit up when he heard Lu Shan’s words. He immediately stuffed the items into the cloth bag and stood up happily.. He said, “Thank you, uncle auntie!”
