Guo Jinchen burst into a wry laugh, "How did I become a scumbag? I'm clearly a pitiful man who loves without reciprocation, alright?"
"Pitiful people have their loathsome sides!" Yu Xiao'ai feigned anger and said, "You quarrel with President Shen and then use me, what are you if not a scumbag?"
Guo Jinchen said, "This isn't about being a scumbag. Didn't I apologize to you later? And I even treated you to a meal, let's not bring this up again."
The two clinked their beer cans together and continued to eat and chat.
"Do you still think I'm scumbag now?" He placed a grilled chicken wing in her small dish and asked with a smile.
Yu Xiao'ai answered earnestly, "Actually, you are quite righteous and a good person. Those two power outages, you could have left since we weren't close. You didn't have to stay and keep me company. Nobody could have blamed you, but you still stayed. That made me feel, um, that you're not too bad, quite kind actually."
