Chapter 320: Chapter 114: Bai Xi vs. Song Chi (Part 4)

Song Chi nodded and said, "I arrived at nine."

"Then why didn’t you call me?"

Song Chi’s explanation was especially considerate. "The boss was working, didn’t want to disturb."

Xu Xingguang asked him again, "Have you eaten?"

After a moment of hesitation, Song Chi awkwardly said, "No money."

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow, quickly gave Song Chi a once-over from head to toe, and then slapped her forehead in annoyance, "My bad, I forgot to give you money."

Song Chi had lost his memory, completely forgetting the past, not even remembering where his bank card was or where his money was deposited.

"How did you get here?"

Song Chi replied, "I borrowed 300 yuan from Sister Lin and took a hard seat on the train here." After a pause, Song Chi added, "Bought a bottle of water on the way, transferred several buses to get to the hotel, and only had 6 yuan left." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

This place is far from the city center, a popular seaside tourist spot, and the food nearby is relatively expensive, even a cup of instant noodles costs more than 6 yuan.

Xu Xingguang was amused and exasperated, she raised her long arm and patted Song Chi’s head, telling him, "In the future, whenever you need money, just let me know. You’re mine now, so it’s only right to take care of you."

Song Chi nodded, "Okay."

Xu Xingguang’s words were quite ambiguous, inevitably giving people the wrong impression.

Cheng Xizhou and Bai Xi exchanged a glance, both thinking that Song Chi was someone Xu Xingguang was supporting, and they found Teacher Xu’s behavior quite interesting.

Especially Cheng Xizhou, who knew Xu Xingguang had a fiancé, thought Teacher Xu was not ordinary.

"Take the stuff to the room, I’ll take you out for a late-night snack." Xu Xingguang walked ahead, and Song Chi obediently followed behind with the bags. After a few steps, Xu Xingguang turned back to ask Cheng Xizhou and Bai Xi, "Want to come along?"

Bai Xi shook her head, but Cheng Xizhou nodded.

Xu Xingguang automatically ignored Bai Xi and said to Cheng Xizhou, "Then let’s take your car to the night market."

"Okay!"

Xu Xingguang arranged a separate room for Song Chi, on the same floor as the assistants’ rooms, but it was a single room. After settling in and washing his face, Song Chi followed Xu Xingguang downstairs.

Downstairs, Cheng Xizhou had already brought the car around, with Bai Xi in the front passenger seat, meaning Xu Xingguang and Song Chi had to sit together in the back.

Once in the car, Song Chi remained silent, quietly gazing out the window, while Xu Xingguang lowered her head, chatting with Huo Wen’an.

The car was very quiet.

Cheng Xizhou felt a bit awkward, chose some soft music, and took the initiative to start a conversation. "Teacher Xu, what’s your friend’s name?"

"Song Chi," Xu Xingguang replied.

Song Chi suddenly spoke, briefly explaining, "I’m Teacher Xu’s house servant."

Cheng Xizhou and Bai Xi slightly raised their eyebrows.

House servant?

So, he’s not Teacher Xu’s kept man, then?

"Hahaha, I see." Cheng Xizhou laughed awkwardly, then asked Song Chi, "I heard Teacher Xu say that Mr. Song grew up in Rashomon when he was young, and our Xixi did too. Maybe you two knew each other back then."

Hearing this, Song Chi finally turned his attention to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi stared straight ahead, knowing that Song Chi was observing her, yet she didn’t look back.

Song Chi quickly withdrew his gaze and shook his head, "I don’t remember."

Cheng Xizhou thought Song Chi was unwilling to engage with Bai Xi, feeling a bit dispirited, until he heard Xu Xingguang say, "Song Chi has been injured, his memory is jumbled, and he can’t recall past events."

"I see." The gloom in Cheng Xizhou’s heart dissipated instantly.

Meanwhile, Bai Xi looked back at Song Chi upon hearing this.

The night market in West Continent City is a paradise for seafood and delicacies. Because Cheng Xizhou is a public figure, Xu Xingguang found a barbecue restaurant with good privacy and private rooms.

Once inside the private room, Xu Xingguang tossed the menu to Song Chi, "Order whatever you like, don’t worry about the cost."

Upon hearing this, Song Chi didn’t hold back with Xu Xingguang.

He had only eaten a bowl of noodles made by Sister Lin in the morning and was already starving, feeling like he could eat a whole cow. Song Chi ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go, all meat.

However, he didn’t order any expensive seafood ingredients.

After ordering, Song Chi proactively returned the menu to Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang then handed the menu to Cheng Xizhou, inviting them to add more items.

Cheng Xizhou rarely eats at night, so she only ordered a bottle of beer, and Bai Xi added a dozen oysters, then returned the menu to Xu Xingguang.

After browsing through the entire menu, Xu Xingguang said, "I’ve heard West Continent City’s grilled durian is good, shall we try it?"

Hearing this, Bai Xi immediately regretted returning the menu to Xu Xingguang.

Durian is Bai Xi’s least favorite food; she can’t stand its smell. In the past, when Sun went on a mission to the equatorial region, he brought back a piece of yellow hard candy for her.
