Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1427 Embarrassment
This Western restaurant has a very strong atmosphere.

The waiters who served us were foreigners.

Follow the waiter to the table and sit down.

After we sat down, the waiter handed us two menus, both entirely in English.

Xu Xiuwen smiled and took the menu, but instead of flipping through it, he looked at Guo Shasha with curiosity.

He was curious to see how Guo Shasha would react to a menu that was entirely in English.

of course.

He will not stand idly by and watch Guo Shasha make a fool of herself.

If the other party cannot understand the menu or does not know how to order.

All she had to do was give me a pleading look.

Xu Xiuwen would speak immediately.

However, Guo Shasha's performance surprised him.

Guo Shasha took the menu and started flipping through it.

After quickly glancing at the menu, she communicated with the waiter in English.

The conversation between the two was roughly about Guo Shasha asking for recommendations on dishes.

The waiter gave a professional answer.

Xu Xiuwen noticed a hint of appreciation in the waiter's eyes.

This appreciation was clearly directed at Guo Shasha.

In fact, not only the waiters admired Guo Shasha, but Xu Xiuwen was no exception.

Guo Shasha spoke fluent English with a natural expression.

She exudes confidence from head to toe.

At this time.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly thought of something.

That is, Guo Shasha herself is an English major.

Jinling Normal University is a key university.

A student majoring in English at a top-tier university is clearly unqualified if their spoken English is poor.

After asking her questions, Guo Shasha turned to Xu Xiuwen and asked with a smile, "Senior, what's on their signboard—"

Xu Xiuwen interrupted her, saying, "You don't need to translate, I can understand."

A glint of surprise flashed in Guo Shasha's eyes.

Although Xu Xiuwen's English is not good, it does not affect his excellence, but what can you do when his English is good?

Indeed, a boy as outstanding as Xu Xiuwen is capable of anything.

Xu Xiuwen put down the menu and said a few words to the waiter next to him in English.

When it was Guo Shasha's turn, she also stated her needs.

Guo Shasha hadn't reacted yet.

She didn't realize what had happened until the waiter took the menu away.

She seems to have forgotten to check the price.

Was the food they just ordered very expensive?
What if she doesn't have money to pay the bill?
It would be fine if she went out to eat with her roommates normally, but now she's going out to eat with Xu Xiuwen.

As a result, she couldn't even afford a meal.

This is too embarrassing.

Guo Shasha was so worried that she couldn't even listen to what Xu Xiuwen was saying.

Xu Xiuwen quickly noticed Guo Shasha's unusual behavior.

He understood the reason after a moment's thought.

However, Xu Xiuwen did not comfort Guo Shasha.

He chose to pretend he didn't know.

Soon, the waiters began serving the food.

Xu Xiuwen seized the opportunity to ask, "Would you like some wine?"

"Huh?" Guo Shasha was stunned.

Without her consent, Xu Xiuwen raised his hand and asked the waiter for a bottle of red wine.

Xu Xiuwen was referring to a brand that Guo Shasha didn't recognize.

This made her even more uneasy.

This bottle of wine must be very expensive, right?
This worry made her stiffen up completely.

Let alone someone with strong observational skills like Xu Xiuwen, even someone with average observational skills could notice Guo Shasha's unusual behavior.

Xu Xiuwen tried to laugh several times but held back.

Soon, the waiter brought over a bottle of red wine, which was opened on the spot.

As the deep red wine poured into the stemmed glass, Guo Shasha's attention was briefly drawn.

Xu Xiuwen raised his glass and gestured to Guo Shasha.

Guo Shasha was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up her cup.

Their glasses clinked lightly in mid-air.

At the same time, Xu Xiuwen smiled at Guo Shasha.

Guo Shasha held a wine glass in her hand, looking at the smile on Xu Xiuwen's face and feeling the atmosphere of the restaurant.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was dreaming or in reality.

Because this scene is exactly what she is looking for.

Guo Shasha enjoyed dining at the upscale Western restaurant, and she could see her beloved man as long as she looked straight ahead.

The feeling at this moment is something that probably no one can deny.

The same goes for Guo Shasha.

Even though she hadn't drunk any alcohol, Guo Shasha already felt a little drunk.

She suddenly called out, "Senior~"

Her charming face, paired with her soft voice, is incredibly alluring.

Xu Xiuwen was momentarily stunned.

He composed himself and asked, "What's wrong?"

Guo Shasha smiled and said, "Thank you for bringing me here to eat..."

"You're welcome……"

Perhaps it was the influence of the environment, or perhaps it was because Guo Shasha was too charming and radiant at the moment, Xu Xiuwen's attitude softened unconsciously.

After taking a sip of red wine, Xu Xiuwen was unaffected, while Guo Shasha's face became even rosier.

This also made her look even more charming and beautiful.

Even though Xu Xiuwen was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, he couldn't help but be moved at this moment.

"looks good?"

Upon hearing Guo Shasha's words, Xu Xiuwen instantly snapped out of his daze.

He showed no sign of panic.

He calmly replied, "It's alright."

These words naturally displeased Guo Shasha.

Guo Shasha pressed further, "What's wrong with me?"

Xu Xiuwen corrected her, "I didn't say it wasn't good-looking, I said it was just so-so."

Although Xu Xiuwen explained, Guo Shasha heard the same thing.

Guo Shasha stared at Xu Xiuwen with a frustrated expression and said, "You have to explain clearly what's wrong with me."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Guo Shasha kicked Xu Xiuwen under the table.

Xu Xiuwen: "Why did you kick me?"

Guo Shasha stared at him and asked, word by word, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Xiuwen remained silent.

It seems that Guo Shasha won't let him off the hook until he explains himself clearly today.

But he was also aware of it.

Even if he explains himself clearly, Guo Shasha will not let him off the hook.

Because it's wrong from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiuwen decisively changed his words and said, "I misspoke, you are very beautiful, extremely beautiful."

Even though she knew Xu Xiuwen wasn't sincere, Guo Shasha forgave him in a second.

She smiled again and said, "That's more like it! Nobody has ever said I'm not pretty before."

Xu Xiuwen said, "You're right. I was blind just now."

Guo Shasha was amused by him.

"Never mind. I forgive you."

Xu Xiuwen played along, saying, "Thank you for your magnanimity."

"hey-hey."

"Can we eat now?"

"Ok."

But Guo Shasha immediately thought of something else, "How do you eat steak?"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Don't worry about me, I have a way to eat."

He gripped the knife and fork with his palms facing backwards in both hands, and then painstakingly cut the steak.

Guo Shasha couldn't sit still after seeing this.

She quickly said, "Don't do it, let me cut it for you."

"Need not……"

"You must listen to me!" Guo Shasha said forcefully.

Xu Xiuwen looked up at her and asked, "What if I don't listen?"

Guo Shasha said, "Because I'm treating tonight, if you don't listen to me, then you're not allowed to eat."

Xu Xiuwen has a keen eye.

He readily agreed, "Alright then."

Guo Shasha picked up her knife and fork and began cutting the steak in front of her.

She quickly cut the steak into the appropriate size.

She pushed the plate in front of Xu Xiuwen, saying, "You can have mine."

After saying that, he took Xu Xiuwen's plate away.

"Then I'm welcome."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Xiuwen used a fork to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

As Guo Shasha cut the steak, she asked, "How does it taste?"

Xu Xiuwen didn't answer, but instead used a fork to pick up a piece and brought it to Guo Shasha's mouth.

Guo Shasha was stunned.

She didn't expect Xu Xiuwen to do this.

Seeing Xu Xiuwen's difficult posture, she suddenly understood why so many people liked him.

His most charming quality isn't his excellence, but rather the small details he shows in everyday life. Guo Shasha smiled as she ate the beef that Xu Xiuwen fed her.

"what about the taste?"

"Excellent." Guo Shasha's eyes were full of smiles.

"That's good."

At this moment, Xu Xiuwen picked up his wine glass again.

Seeing Xu Xiuwen's awkward posture, Guo Shasha chuckled.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Guo Shasha shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued cutting the steak.

From an angle that is not easily noticed, the corners of her mouth resemble a crescent moon.

Dinner was drawing to a close.

Xu Xiuwen asked, "Have you finished eating?"

Guo Shasha smiled and nodded, "I'm done eating."

"Then let's go."

"it is good."

Xu Xiuwen raised his hand and called over a waiter.

Only then did Guo Shasha remember that she was treating everyone to dinner that night.

Now it was time for her to pay.

Guo Shasha's smile vanished abruptly.

She stared at the waiter with a stiff, dark expression and asked, "How much?"

The waiter said, "1672 yuan."

"What!" Guo Shasha exclaimed in surprise.

She thought it would cost at most a few hundred yuan, but it turned out to be over a thousand.

Keep in mind that this is not 2025, but 2007.

The average salary in Nanjing is just over 1000 yuan.

They ate a month's salary in one meal.

This was completely beyond Guo Shasha's spending power.

If Guo Shasha had enough money, she would have paid even if the price exceeded her expectations.

The key issue is that she didn't bring that much money with her today.

Guo Shasha was immediately caught in a dilemma.

We said we wouldn't treat each other, we'd split the bill.

She couldn't bring herself to do it.

But if she insisted on treating everyone, she couldn't afford to pay.

At this time.

Xu Xiuwen suddenly spoke up.

"Let me do it."

He reached into his pocket for his wallet, only to realize he couldn't get his hand out.

So he stood up and said to the waiter, "Could you please get my wallet for me?"

He showed his injured finger to the waiter.

The waiter expressed his understanding and then came over to rummage through Xu Xiuwen's pockets.

Seeing this, Guo Shasha quickly said, "Senior, it was agreed that I would pay."

Xu Xiuwen glanced at her and asked, "Then you pay."

Guo Shasha: "..."

Hey, don't hit someone in the face!

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Let me do it."

Guo Shasha remained silent this time.

Only after the waiter took the money and left did Guo Shasha explain, "Senior, it's not that I don't want to pay, it's just that I didn't bring that much money with me today."

Xu Xiuwen nodded in understanding, "Okay."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the restaurant door.

However, in Guo Shasha's view, Xu Xiuwen's response was perfunctory.

This clearly shows a lack of trust in her intention to pay.

Guo Shasha was a little angry.

She quickly caught up with Xu Xiuwen and emphasized again, "Senior, I really intend to pay... I'll pay you back when we get back."

Xu Xiuwen said, "There's no need."

"No! We must!"

Xu Xiuwen couldn't hold back any longer.

He suddenly stopped, glanced at Guo Shasha, and asked, "Do you have to be so calculating with me?"

Guo Shasha was taken aback.

She wanted to explain further, but Xu Xiuwen had already taken the initiative to walk forward.

As Guo Shasha left the Western restaurant, she was still pondering the meaning of Xu Xiuwen's words.
What do you mean by insisting on calculating things so precisely with him?

Doesn't he want to settle things too clearly with me?
Could she interpret this as Xu Xiuwen not wanting them to be too polite to each other?

Doesn't this mean that Xu Xiuwen has accepted her, or even considers her his girlfriend?

This discovery made Guo Shasha burst out laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Xu Xiuwen stopped again.

He looked at Guo Shasha and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Guo Shasha shook her head repeatedly, "It's nothing."

Xu Xiuwen squinted at her, but couldn't see anything unusual.

"He's acting crazy."

"Say what you will, I'm not angry," Guo Shasha said with a smile.

Xu Xiuwen stopped talking.

He strode forward.

Guo Shasha quickly followed.

At this moment, she did something that Xu Xiuwen did not expect.

The girl quickly walked to Xu Xiuwen's side and walked alongside him.

Then, she suddenly took Xu Xiuwen's arm.

Xu Xiuwen was startled.

He tried to pull his arm out, but Guo Shasha refused.

The girl hugged him even tighter.

Helpless, Xu Xiuwen stopped and asked, "Why are you hugging me?"

In Guo Shasha's view, Xu Xiuwen's refusal at this moment was a kind of coy refusal.

She smiled and said, "Senior, my legs are a little numb. Can I hold you for a bit, just a little while..."

My legs are numb?
Xu Xiuwen glanced at Guo Shasha's legs subconsciously.

At this moment, he regretted buying Guo Shasha this casual outfit.

Because these pants prevented him from seeing Guo Shasha's beautiful legs.

He naturally couldn't tell whether her leg was truly numb or just pretending.

Xu Xiuwen decided to turn a blind eye.

"never mind."

He kept walking.

Guo Shasha hugged him tightly, "Senior, where are we going now?"

Xu Xiuwen said coldly, "Go home!"

Guo Shasha exclaimed "Ah!"

"What are you shouting?"

"Going home so early?"

Xu Xiuwen stopped again.

She looked down at Guo Shasha beside her and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Guo Shasha countered, "Can I go wherever I want?"

Under the girl's expectant gaze, Xu Xiuwen shook his head and said, "No!"

Guo Shasha felt disappointed.

She clicked her tongue.

Xu Xiuwen then changed his mind and said, "As long as I don't leave Jinling City."

Guo Shasha's eyes lit up immediately.

As long as you don't leave Jinling City, doesn't that mean you can go anywhere?

Guo Shasha was overjoyed.

She suddenly did something that surprised passersby.

Guo Shasha suddenly stood on tiptoe, preparing to kiss Xu Xiuwen's cheek.

However, Xu Xiuwen seemed to have anticipated the girl's audacity. He suddenly dodged to the side, just avoiding Guo Shasha's pink lips.

After Guo Shasha's kiss failed, her eyes were filled with disbelief and resentment.

Xu Xiuwen ignored him completely.

He said, "Be mindful of the impact in public."

Guo Shasha was initially disappointed, but then she suddenly realized something.

"Senior, does that mean it's okay when no one's around?"

However, Xu Xiuwen dealt her another blow.

"That's not OK!"

The resentment in Guo Shasha's eyes deepened.

Xu Xiuwen still ignored it.

"Have you thought about it?"

"No."

"I'll give you three more minutes, or you're out of time."

"How can this be?"

Xu Xiuwen sneered, "You don't have to go."

Guo Shasha was speechless.

She could only curse Xu Xiuwen in her heart for being so clueless about romance.

But she forced a smile on her face.

"Let me think about it."

"Hurry up, there are only three minutes left!"

After thinking for two and a half minutes, Guo Shasha thought of a place...
