The sports car drove to the entrance of the Shabu Shabu Restaurant in Xinshadong and stopped directly outside the main entrance.

Chen Gewei and Pei Zhuxuan got off the car at the same time, and the latter walked into the shabu-shabu restaurant in one step.

In the not-so-spacious shop, there is only one group of customers who are still eating. They are also a young couple, which looks very quiet at first glance.

The lights in the shop are a little dim, mostly from the most dazzling chandeliers in the middle, radiating everything in the shop.

The iron seats are covered with inferior enamel leather, and the wooden dining table seems to be covered with a layer of stone tabletop.

Pei Zhuxuan stood beside Chen Gewei, blocking the eyes of the men and women beside him, and responding to the greetings of the store owner.

After looking around, Chen Gewei took the initiative to approach the store owner, then looked at him coldly and asked in a low voice.

"I want to wrap up here and don't let others come in later. Can you offer a price?"

The shop owner was a middle-aged woman. After hearing Chen Gewei's question, she was stunned and then turned around and looked at the other middle-aged man who walked out, probably her husband.

After noticing the middle-aged woman's gaze, the latter took the initiative to come over. After a brief exchange, the two agreed to Chen Gewei's request.

Five minutes later, Chen Gewei and Pei Zhuxuan sat on the other side of the store, at the farthest distance from the young man and woman who were there at the beginning.

The middle-aged couple running the store kept bringing up the dishes they ordered and putting them on the table. If they couldn't put them, they were placed on the movable cabinet next to them.

Pei Zhuxuan turned her head halfway and responded to the boss when the boss kept serving food, while Chen Gewei watched silently without saying a word.

After a certain white-haired senior's tip, Pei Zhuxuan already understood what role she should play next to Chen Gewei if she wanted to succeed.

Now she is the buffer for Chen Gewei and society, neutralizing everything around her.

Although she herself was a little afraid of being alive, it was at least much better than Chen Gewei, who was incompatible with society.

After serving the dishes, Pei Zhuxuan once again thanked the shop owner, and then started shabu-shabu with Chen Gewei.

Looking at the dishes that were quickly matured in the hot soup pot, Pei Zhuxuan asked Chen Gewei casually while waiting.

"This is what you came from China, right?"

"Um."

Chen Gewei agreed gently and then added.

"However, the Chinese culture has a large radiation range and there are many evolutionary varieties. Each place has its own characteristics. I don't know what style it is."

“Oh~”

Pei Zhuxuan agreed softly and continued.

"You seem to be very serious about everything."

"Not serious."

Chen Gewei denied.

“I’m just responsible for what I say.”

"Um."

Pei Zhuxuan nodded and then asked.

"Did you eat this often before?"

"Won't."

Chen Gewei put the scalded beef in his mouth, chewed it for a few times before continuing to answer.

"There are usually many people in this kind of store, and it's very noisy, so I don't come very much."

Pei Zhuxuan pouted and said with satisfaction.

"So I'll just bring you tonight."

As he said that, Pei Zhuxuan also picked up a piece of boiled meat and put it in her mouth.

The two of them ate with satisfaction, but half a minute later, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly noticed the sauce bowl placed next to her.

The sauce inside is provided by the store, which needs to be stirred by yourself.

Both of them were placed next to them, and they still didn't move.

Pei Zhuxuan then reached out, took the sauce bowl, and started stirring.

Chen Gewei paid attention to Pei Zhuxuan's behavior. The latter acted very quickly, and the stirring was completed in half a minute, and then immediately handed the stirred sauce to Chen Gewei.

"Hey, it's delicious."

"Um."

Chen Gewei agreed gently, then obediently put the just-scalded meat in and dipped it in dipping it in the dipping sauce.

Pei Zhuxuan stirred her portion, then silently watched Chen Gewei's movements, and asked with concern after the latter put the dipped meat into his mouth and tasted it.

"How about it?"

"Yeah, that's OK."

Chen Gewei nodded and agreed with certainty.

"whispering sound."

Pei Zhuxuan pouted and said immediately.

"Don't you say thank you? I remember you were very polite before."

“I thought I didn’t need to say it.”

Chen Gewei said calmly, and at the same time, he lowered his head halfway and continued to eat.

Pei Zhuxuan was stunned when she heard Chen Gewei's words, then she reacted, then immediately showed a satisfied smile on her face, and then picked up a piece of meat herself to taste the sauce.

After tasting it on his own, Pei Zhuxuan also showed a happy expression on her face, shook her body with satisfaction, and then stretched out her chopsticks.

Chen Gewei looked at Pei Zhuxuan's cute appearance and the previous picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

Once upon a time, he often had dinner with another girl in various restaurants, who also had a beautiful face and acted very cutely.

But elsewhere, there is a clear difference between the person in my memory and the person in front of me.

She closed her heart and was generally unwilling to share her pain and joy with others, while the person in front of her would speak out directly and express her position.

As he thought about it, Chen Gewei suddenly thought of something. He raised his head, looked at Pei Zhuxuan with a calm expression, and then asked tentatively.

"If I told you that I would go back to China in a few years, what would you think?"

When Pei Zhuxuan heard this question, her movements immediately slowed down and her expression became more serious.

She did not look at Chen Gewei at the first time, but thought for a while before asking in a low voice.

"When? Is there a specific time?"

"No."

Chen Gewei shook his head.

"But it should be around five years."

Pei Zhuxuan listened to Chen Gewei's answer and thought carefully, while putting down the chopsticks in her hand.

Chen Gewei looked at her serious look and before she could continue to say anything, she raised her hand and said.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it."

"Um."

Chen Gewei agreed without any worries.

"I'm not in a hurry."

Pei Zhuxuan thought carefully, her lower lip slowly shrank back, bit her gently, and began to think intently.

Three minutes later, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Gewei seriously.

"What answer do you want to hear? Do you want me to go back with you?"

"I have no idea."

Chen Gewei spoke.

"Don't this kind of problem depend on yourself? I said it's useless."

Pei Zhuxuan suddenly frowned, then looked at Chen Gewei with some anger and said solemnly.

"You had let me cool down before, but now you suddenly ask this kind of question. Don't you think your standards have become too fast?"

Chen Gewei suddenly reacted, with an enlightened expression on his face, followed by a serious expression, and looked at Pei Zhuxuan and said.

"Sorry, this is my problem."

Pei Zhuxuan lowered her eyes and did not continue to pursue the matter.

Chen Gewei also pursed his lips and condemned his behavior in his heart.

Pei Zhuxuan, who had just lowered her head, suddenly spoke again and lowered her voice and said.
