"These dishes, I remember we used to like ordering them. See if there’s anything missing, we’ll add more," Lu Zishu said with a hint of flattery as he passed the menu to Xin Miao after ordering the dishes she used to like during their gatherings.

Xin Miao glanced down at the menu he had written and saw that it indeed contained all her favorite dishes, a flash of complexity passing through the depths of her eyes.

She looked up at him and smiled, "That’s enough. It’s just the two of us, we won’t be able to finish it all."

Xin Miao was beautiful, inheriting the charm of Jiangnan from Mrs. Xin. Her speech naturally carried a soft, tender sweetness, and paired with this smile, it made Lu Zishu, who already had feelings for her, stare dumbfounded for a moment. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head, blushing and averting his eyes, not daring to look more, as he handed the menu to the waiter.

Xin Miao didn’t talk much, and Lu Zishu was shy, so the atmosphere inevitably turned a bit silent after that.

It wasn’t until the dishes were served that Lu Zishu became lively again, helping Xin Miao with the rice, serving with the public chopsticks. He was really attentive, and having observed her for years, he even warmed the drink with his hands before pouring it for her.

However, Xin Miao didn’t touch it.

Lu Zishu felt a bit disappointed, but after all, he was happy and didn’t care too much.

The meal was somewhat quiet, and after finishing, they left the restaurant and headed to the nearest cinema. Once inside, Lu Zishu found a seat for Xin Miao and then busied himself like a top. After buying the movie tickets and a cup of popcorn, he recalled that Xin Miao hadn’t drunk anything. So he asked the ticket seller, "Ma’am, is there a café nearby?"

He knew Xin Miao liked to drink coffee, especially pure black without sugar.

It was the weekend, and many young people came to watch movies. The attendant was too busy to pay attention to him, but a girl nearby chimed in, "I know, but it’s a bit far."

"That’s okay, could you please tell me where it is?"

The girl, seeing his well-dressed appearance and intending to flirt, smiled and said, "Just exit this street, turn right and walk about a hundred meters, there’s a café."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Zishu nodded to the girl and then, under her hesitant gaze, jogged back to Xin Miao, crouched in front of her, and said, "Miaomiao, the film starts in over twenty minutes. We’ll watch this first. You keep the ticket, I forgot my phone in the car, afraid someone might look for me, so I’ll go get it. If I don’t make it in time, go in first, and I’ll find you as soon as I get back, okay?"

Xin Miao glanced at the ticket pressed into her hand and said nothing.

Lu Zishu didn’t dare to waste any time, quickly got up and walked out. The girl who gave him directions happened to follow his movement, saw Xin Miao, checked her out up and down, then involuntarily snorted and retracted her gaze, returning to her companions.

Xin Miao did notice the girl’s gaze but didn’t mind it. She didn’t doubt Lu Zishu’s explanation at all, after all, from the cinema to the parking lot would at most take ten minutes, and at worst, she could call the pager for the driver to bring the phone up. Regardless, they wouldn’t miss the show.
