Outside, two figures lurked suspiciously and heard the lively frolic inside, which eased their minds considerably.
They hoped for Shen Xi to be with Guan Lei, relieving them of the concern that Gu Chen might try to lure her away.
Inside the room, after Guan Lei had teased Shen Xi for a while, the two of them went downstairs to have a meal.
Lu Shan was delighted and kept urging Shen Xi and Guan Lei to eat more, suggesting they should plan an outing some time.
Shen Xi shook her head and said, "I'll go to the hospital to check on Gu Chen later; I won't go out to play."
Her words instantly silenced the people around her, and they all sighed in resignation.
Guan Lei smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you later."
Shen Xi glanced at Guan Lei a few times and finally nodded.
Shen Yan and Lu Shan exchanged glances, and their moods improved a bit. They decided to take things slow.
