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, its me.

Are you Gu Chen? Shen Xi asked tentatively.

Its me. Gu Chen smiled.

Shen Xi recognized the height of Gu Chens 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 Im in a wheelchair, arent I? Is that what you want to ask me? Gu Chen continued.

Shen Xi didnt 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 Xis scruples and said in a relaxed tone, Im treating my legs, but the legs arent flexible yet. So, Xi, can you reach out and help me up a little?

Shen Xi quickly reached out her hand in Gu Chens 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 Xis palm.

When she touched Gu Chens 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 didnt 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 Chens voice was a little pleading. Xi, today is my birthday, and its 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 Xis 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 Chens 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 couldnt 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 didnt 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 Xis hand, and said, Xi, Chen can just stand up and walk today. Hes a little excited and wants to dance. Can you replace me and lead him to dance? Im a little worried about him. Ill only be at ease if youre 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 Xis hand with a smile and placed it in Gu Chens hand. Then, she took off Gu Chens 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 Chens mood instantly brighten up a lot.

Gu Chen gently wrapped his arms around Shen Xis waist. As Shen Xis body moved, Gu Chen slowly followed the rhythm of the music and carefully stepped on the dance steps.

Shen Xi noticed that Gu Chens dance steps seemed a little fast, so she quickly said, You can just walk, dont dance so fast. The music is very soft and slow.

Follow the rhythm, or Im afraid your legs will hurt.

Gu Chen nodded softly. His gentle voice sounded a little s.e.xy in the dark.

Thinking of Gu Chens charming appearance, Shen Xi was instantly glad she could not see his face. Otherwise, she felt that she would obsess over him..
