  "Nothing... nothing."

  Shen Gusi immediately withdrew his gaze, and the sweat on his palms made the two banknotes wet.

  A gust of wind blew, and Shen Gusi couldn't help but shiver.

  Seeing this, Xu Jiashen took off his coat and was about to put it on Shen Gusi. Shen Gusi looked up in fear like a frightened rabbit: "What are you doing?"

  His reaction was a little extreme, which Xu Jiashen did not expect. It seemed like he was afraid of something.

  Xu Jiashen raised the clothes in his hand and said, "It's too cold. You're wearing so little. You'll be warmer if you put on some clothes."

  "Oh, I see." Shen Gusi felt embarrassed: "It's not that cold actually. If you give me your clothes, you will have nothing to wear."

  He shook his head, unwilling to accept the clothes handed to him by Xu Jiashen: "Sir, you can wear them yourself."

  It would be a shame if such nice clothes were soiled by myself.

  "I'm not cold."

  Xu Jiashen put the clothes on Shen Gusi without saying a word. When he was adjusting the collar, his fingertips accidentally brushed Shen Gusi's chin. Before Xu Jiashen could react to the cold touch, Shen Gusi dodged as if he had been electrocuted.

  Shen Gusi was afraid of him.

  Xu Jiashen's missed hand slowly clenched into a fist in the air.

  "Are you afraid of me?" he asked.

  Shen Gusi's resistance to himself was too obvious, and it was not conscious, but more like an instinctive reaction.

  Although I no longer remember him, does my body remember the harm he caused me?

  "I, I, I..."

  Shen Gusi didn't know what was wrong with her. The man in front of her looked handsome, gentle, and very friendly to her, but she couldn't help wanting to hide away.

  "I don't know, I'm sorry." He was afraid that Xu Jiashen would be angry and was very anxious.

  "You don't need to apologize. This is not your problem. I am a stranger in your eyes. It is normal to be defensive. You don't need to apologize."

  Xu Jiashen suppressed the urge to hug Shen Gusi. He couldn't scare him away.

  Shen Gusi doesn't like his touch, but it's okay, just take it slow and get along with her little by little.

  "Gu."

  The gaze between the two was broken by a strange sound. Shen Gusi was the first to react. He covered his stomach with a faint blush on his face: "I'm sorry, I..."

  He hadn't eaten all day and his stomach protested.

  "Let me take you to dinner."

  "Ah?" Shen Gusi covered his empty stomach and looked up in a daze.

  "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you. Aren't you hungry?" Xu Jiashen said.

  Shen Gusi quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, I'll just go home and cook."

  "Cooking? What? Did you pick up those leaves?"

  Shen Gusi actually doesn't care at all what others think of him, because he doesn't steal or rob, and he supports his family on his own. His grandmother says there is nothing to be ashamed of.
