Gu Chen looked at the beer on the table and was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, “l didn’t expect beer to be the signature of this shop. Since I’ve ordered it, just take it that I ordered it for you, young lady.”

Shen Xi smiled and shook her head. Just as the attendant was helping to spread the oil paper, Shen Xi’s phone rang.

Shen Xi was experienced now. She picked up the phone and skillfully swiped the answer button. Shen Yan and Lu Shan’s anxious voices came from the other end of the phone. “Xi, where are you?” Why aren’t you in your room?”

Shen Yan and Lu Shan woke up in the middle of the night to check on Shen Xi’s safety. They did not expect the room to be empty when they pushed open her door.

The two of them then went to look for Gu Chen again, but they did not find him either. Suddenly, the two of them panicked.

“I’m out for supper with Chen. Do you guys want to eat anything? I’ll bring it back for you later.” Shen Xi said.

Hearing that Shen Xi was fine, Shen Yan and his wife’s worried hearts immediately calmed down.

“It’s good that you’re fine. Come back soon,” Lu Shan said with a lingering fear. “We don’t eat supper. Come back early.”

“Since I’m already out, I’ll bring some back for you. I’m not paying anyway.” Shen Xi glanced at Gu Chen and smiled.

Gu Chen just smiled and didn’t say anything. He was busy learning how to barbecue from the men beside him.

That serious look was like a studious child, sincere and focused.

After hanging up the phone with Shen Yan, Shen Xi looked at the smoky scene in front of her with a smile and teased, “l didn’t expect you to be so down-to-earth.’

“In your eyes, am I not down-to-earth?” Gu Chen looked up and replied to Shen Xi with a little coquettishness.

Shen Xi nodded honestly. “The first time I saw you in the hospital, I thought you were unbelievably beautiful. Why would such a beautiful person use his fair and beautiful hands to do such dirty things?”

Gu Chen flipped the pork belly in front of him and said a little dejectedly, “So what if I am beautiful? You don’t like me. If I can grow into the person you like, the person you want to hold hands with for the rest of your life, I’m willing to become an ugly monster.”

Gu Chen didn’t look up. He just lowered his head and took care of the ingredients on the grill as he spoke with a bitter tone.

“Did I have such a strong taste in the past? I like ugly people? So, Guan Lei is an ugly monster?” Shen Xi asked in confusion.

Gu Chen felt that ever since Shen Xi lost her memory, he could not guess what she was concerned about.

Shouldn’t Shen Xi’s focus now be on his love and his desire to be with her?

In the end, Shen Xi was more concerned about her past preferences and thinking about Guan Lei’s appearance.

Gu Chen sighed and said, “It’s just a way of expression.”

Shen Xi patted her chest and said, “Don’t be so exaggerated. You made me think that my taste is different from others and I only like ugly ones.

However, liking someone wasn’t just based on appearance. Sometimes, a person’s charisma, character, and the atmosphere they get along with are all very important.

Gu Chen stopped what he was doing. He looked straight at Shen Xi and asked, “So, you didn’t like me in the past because I didn’t have any charisma, my character was bad, and the atmosphere with me wasn’t right?”

“How would I know?” Shen Xi frowned. “l forgot. But you can evaluate yourself. Do you think your character is good? Did you have a charming personality? How was the atmosphere between the two of us in the past? You should know this better than me now.”

Gu Chen retracted his probing gaze and nodded frankly, “l do have a bad character. In a big family, without the support of my parents, I don’t think I would have lived till today if my actions were aboveboard and I did not have any tricks up my sleeves.”

Then, Gu Chen sprinkled sauce on the meat in his hand and wrapped it in the dish like the man at the table next to him. After wrapping it, he handed it to Shen Xia

Shen Xi didn’t open her mouth like the woman at the table next to him. She just reached out and took it. She apologized with a serious expression. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that life was hard on you.”

Gu Chen shook his head and said, “It’s okay. It’s all over. We have to look forward. For example, now, you can choose not to retrieve your memories and just move forward..”
