"Gu Chen, why are you so good to me?"
During their meal, the two of them talked about many things.
After the third round of drinks, Shen Xian asked Gu Chen this question.
"Because, you're a good person."
Brave, upright, with a set of values that differed from those of society— he was quite eager to see the world as she saw it, that clean and pure world.
Shen Xian was tipsy, and Gu Chen helped her back to her bedroom, tucked her in, and then left.
Before he left, he glanced at the glass cabinet in the living room, where her medals and honors were turned upside down. They must have also been a torment to her.
"Sleep well, Shen Xian, and stop having nightmares."
The moment he closed the bedroom door, Gu Chen quietly said this to her in his heart.
After cleaning up the cans and rubbish from the table, Gu Chen took the trash bag and left, calling a ride-hailing service on his app as he walked downstairs.
