Guan Lei sighed. He knew that his brother was protective of Meng Yu and that
his brother would definitely not let anyone hurt Meng Yu. Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to save him.
But towards Sun Ming, who had lost her lover, Guan Lei felt that he was in no position to persuade Sun Ming to give up on attacking Meng Yu. If Xi had been killed, he would have kicked any passing cat or dog in revenge.
“Guan Lei, can you help me hold back your parents?” Li Zhe said.
Guan Lei nodded and said, “Meng Yu might be stopped if he leaves now. Wait for two days, I’ll talk to my parents.”
Li Zhe nodded silently, then went to the room where Meng Yu was locked up. He adjusted his mood, unlocked the door, and pushed it open.
Guan Lei sent Shen Xi a message, “Xi, I have something to do at noon, so I won’t be going to Stanford University to have lunch with you.”
Shen Xi, who had just finished class, saw Guan Lei’s message and replied:
Okay, then remember to eat.
After sending the message, Shen Xi got Zhao Yuan to eat with her. But Zhao Yuan said with a troubled expression, “Xi, I have something to do. You can have lunch first. I’ll be back soon.”
Shen Xi sighed and said, “Alright, then you can go.”
Seeing Zhao Yuan leave in a hurry, Shen Xi turned around and entered the cafeteria. Just as she finished ordering and sat down, she heard a voice greeting him from above.
Shen Xi looked up and saw that it was Gu Chen, who was not in a wheelchair.
“Are you alone? Your legs are all healed?” Shen Xi asked.
She knew that Gu Chen was doing rehabilitation, but she did not expect him to be healed so soon. He did not even need anyone to help him up. The last time they danced, he still needed her to support him.
Gu Chen nodded and said, “I can walk normally now, but slower. When I sit down and stand up, I would feel slightly weak.”
Shen Xi quickly got up and took the plate from Gu Chen’s hand. She helped Gu Chen sit down and said with concern, “Then quickly sit down.”
Gu Chen smiled and said, “Thank you!’
Shen Xi sat down opposite Gu Chen. As she ate, she asked, “Why are you here today? Are you looking for Professor Gu?”
“No, I’m here for you.” Gu Cheng shook his head.
Shen Xi’s chopsticks paused slightly and she asked in confusion, “Why are you looking for me?
“I’m looking for you for dinner. I don’t have many friends, so I didn’t know who to have dinner with, so I thought of you.” Gu Chen looked at Shen Xi with a teasing glint in his eyes and said with a smile.
“I see.” Shen Xi did not know how to respond. She could only nod perfunctorily and continue eating.
The corners of Gu Chen’s mouth curled up slightly. He looked at Shen Xi and said, “Did my sudden appearance disturb you?
Shen Xi quickly shook her head. “No, no. What are you thinking? We’re not that familiar with each other, so I don’t know what to say.”
“That’s true. Then why don’t I come and have dinner with you more often in the future? That way, we’ll get to know each other better in the future.” Gu Chen continued.
Shen Xi laughed dryly and said with a troubled expression, “It might not be possible. After the exams are over the day after tomorrow, I might return to
Rong City.”
Gu Chen paused momentarily and then said with a little disappointment, “I see.”
Shen Xi ate while thinking about what to talk about. Suddenly, she thought of her benefactor. She did not have the time to ask Gu Xing about her benefactor previously.
Shen Xi’s eyes lit up. If Gu Xing knew him, then Gu Chen might know him too.
Shen Xi looked up at Gu Chen and asked, “Can I ask you about someone?
Gu Chen blinked his eyes slightly and nodded. “Naturally.”
“I don’t know his name either. Wait a minute, I’ll draw it for you.” Shen Xi said expectantly.
As she spoke, Shen Xi took out a pen and paper from her bag and quickly drew on a piece of draft paper. She continued, “The one I drew last time was given to Guan Lei, but he hasn’t found him yet. Now, let me show you. The more people there are, the faster we can find him.”
Gu Chen was curious about who Shen Xi was looking for, as the dignified Young Master Guan was unable to find him.
After a while, Shen Xi handed the hastily completed portrait to Gu Chen. “I was in a hurry today, so the painting is rough, but you can still tell who it is.”
Gu Chen took the draft paper and secretly praised Shen Xi’s superb sketching skills. Then, wahen he saw the person in the picture clearly, his eyes froze slightly. Isn’t this Meng Yu?
Guan Lei actually said that he could not find Meng Yu? What kind of joke was this.
