Zhao Yuan nonchalantly retrieved her phone from Shen Xi’s hands, unabashedly remarking, “Xi, you asked me to send you this photo back in the day. I must say, Xi, you were quite bold back then, kissing Guan Lei in front of so many classmates. It was so intimate that I was shocked.”
Shen Xi blushed a bit at Zhao Yuan’s words, and she finally asked in mild surprise, “You sent it to me?”
“Yeah! But four years ago, the day you and Guan Lei broke up, your phone got damaged, and the photo was lost. I thought about sending it to you again, but then I remembered that you and Guan Lei had ended your relationship, so I didn’t bring it up. However, recently, you and Guan Lei got back together, right? If you want it now, I can send it to you again. It’s so beautiful!”
Zhao Yuan’s face lit up with excitement. Back in the day, she was a fan of Shen Xi and Guan Lei’s relationship. If it weren’t for Guan Lei’s foolish actions later, she believed Shen Xi and Guan Lei might have been married with children by now.
Shen Xi didn’t answer, but Guan Lei chuckled and said, “Zhao Yuan, send it to me too. Xi seems to have forgotten everything between us, so I can only try to preserve our memories as much as possible.”
Shen Xi quickly shook her head toward Zhao Yuan, who regrettably replied, “Guan Lei, it’s not that I don’t want to give it to you. Xi is not willing, so it’s for my eyes only.”
Guan Bo, on the side, grumbled discontentedly, “What’s the point of enjoying someone else’s kissing photo? If you like it, when I kiss you in the future, I’ll set up several cameras. You can have photos from any angle you want, keep them for your leisurely appreciation! ”
Zhao Yuan pinched Guan Bo’s arm and gave it a fierce twist. She snapped, “Even if you don’t speak, no one will consider you mute!”
Guan Bo howled in pain.
Guan Lei, with a smile in his eyes, looked at Shen Xi and made a concluding remark, “It seems my question has been answered. Xi, you were with me on that day.”
With that, Guan Lei turned his gaze toward Gu Chen and sneered, “Real memories are like this, with common witnesses. But false memories are ultimately fake, unable to withstand any verification. Don’t you agree, Master Gu?”
Gu Chen remained unfazed, not deigning to give Guan Lei even a glance. He calmly retorted, “Regardless of whether the memory is true or false, the emotions and needs of the parties involved at this moment are the most important, aren’t they? At least, I am the one remembered by someone’s heart, while you have become a forgotten past.”
Gu Chen was frustrated inside. He had initially come to assert himself but ended up feeling stifled by Guan Lei and his group.
In the subsequent events, it seemed that Shen Xi had the unfortunate luck of being the chosen one each time.
Listening passively to Shen Xi and Guan Lei’s past, even if he tried to conceal it, Gu Chen occasionally revealed his emotions.
Toward the end of the game, the ever-smiling Gu Chen had lost his smile.
On the other hand, Guan Lei was laughing as if he had just gotten married today and was about to enter the bridal chamber. His smile was so radiant that it could blind everyone.
As the game concluded, Gu Chen, once again wearing the smile that had disappeared for a while, said to Shen Xi, “Xi, let me take you home.”
Guan Lei quickly grabbed Shen Xi and said, “Xi, we’re heading in the same direction. Come with me!”
Zhao Yuan and Ye Min chimed in, “Exactly, Xi, you and Guan Lei are heading in the same direction. It’s convenient. Don’t trouble Master Gu to go out of his way to take you home. It’s quite a hassle for him.”
Gu Chen immediately spoke up, “Xi, I just want to accompany you. It’s still early; it’s not a trouble at all!”
Furrowing her brows, Zhao Yuan said, “Master Gu, it’s actually not that early.
Xi usually rests at this time. It’s already quite late.”
At this moment, Gu Chen wished he could poison Zhao Yuan to silence.
If he had known that friends could be so useful, he would have tried making some earlier. That way, he would have friends to back him in such situations.
Shen Xi directly refused, “No need. I drove today, and I haven’t had any alcohol. I’ll go home by myself. You all should go back early too.”
Guan Lei shot a resentful look at Gu Chen. If it weren’t for Gu Chen causing trouble here today, Shen Xi would definitely have gone home with him.
Gu Chen stood his ground and returned Guan Lei’s look. He was extremely irritated today. If it weren’t for maintaining his image in front of Shen Xi, Gu Chen felt that beating Guan Lei up right now would be a light punishment..
