"Brother Kai, Brother Kai! I’ve finished ordering," Zhang Xinrui called him softly.
"Oh, okay." Lv Kai's face was stiff. He swallowed, feeling like he had just eaten a whole lemon, so sour it hurt.
Handing the nu to the waiter, Zhang Xinrui turned to look at Tang Song's table, seemingly curious about his date.
She was montarily stunned and said awkwardly, "That girl is really pretty. They make a great couple."
"Yeah," Lv Kai nodded vigorously, "Tang Song really knows how to keep things under wraps, finding such an outstanding girlfriend without saying a word."
Thinking about how he had bragged about Zhang Xinrui earlier, Lv Kai felt a bit embarrassed. In college, their departnt had far more n than won, and anyone remotely attractive was considered a beauty. Zhang Xinrui was relatively outstanding among them. But compared to that fair-skinned girl, there was no comparison.
However, Lv Kai knew his limits. He didn't even dare to think about girls like that, at most feeling a bit envious. Compared to her, the girl he had a crush on in college seed more attainable.
Just then, the waiter brought their food. Lv Kai enthusiastically placed a few slices of beef on the grill, "Co on, let's eat! I'll do the grilling. You just enjoy."
"I think grilling is fun, too. Let’s do it together," Zhang Xinrui said with a smile, picking up the tongs and starting to grill.
...
"Don't move, I must take a picture!" Tian Jing said seriously, pulling out her phone. "Yes, put both hands over here, being naturally, relax your fingers."
"Click——"
"Click——"
"Everyone has three main lines, and yours are very unique..."
"And the surrounding small, chaotic lines have certain pathological anings, indicating so health issues, like this cross line..."
"Little Jing, you know so much! Let see your palm. Let's compare."
"Sure!"
Tang Song seized the opportunity to grab her hand, sliding his fingers over her palm and gently squeezing her soft, slender fingers. Her skin was so smooth, and the unique fragrance made him want to take a bite.
Tian Jing shivered, her face flushed with excitent. Being firmly held by his hands was quite thrilling.
One by one, the dishes were brought to the table. Ti flew past 7:30 PM, the sun fully set, and the sky darkened completely. The sll of barbecue wafted across the terrace. The source of this content ɪs novel⟡fire
The two, who had been examining each other's palms, finally stopped. Tian Jing carefully put the watch on his wrist and took several photos before returning to her seat, satisfied.
They chatted while grilling the food. Tian Jing, in a great mood from all the hand-holding and photo-taking, offered to help him find a job, promising a salary and benefits not worse than Jinxiu Comrce. As a wealthy second-generation, she had many friends working in family businesses, so helping him find a job was no problem.
Hearing he planned to start his own business, Tian Jing raised her drink and toasted him, "Wishing you success! Good luck!"
"Thank you!"
"This cheese-baked sweet potato is fantastic. The savory cheese pairs perfectly with the natural sweetness of the sweet potato."
"The beef belly here is very fresh. It doesn’t need to be grilled for too long. It's just right: crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Try it."
Throughout the al, Tang Song was a perfect gentleman, helping with the grilling and pouring drinks. Having done his howork, he was familiar with the restaurant's signature dishes.
The bright moon gradually illuminated the night sky, making the evening even more enchanting. Tian Jing's smile never faded, and their relationship naturally grew closer, becoming genuine friends.
On the rooftop stage, a few people quietly took their places. The diners imdiately began excitedly discussing.
"The music performance is about to start! I think it’s the resident singer from the bar downstairs!"
"Live singing, I love it!"
"Hurry, get your phone out for photos and videos. I need to post this on my monts."
...
On stage, the handso restaurant manager held a microphone and loudly announced, "Good evening, everyone! Thank you for visiting New Alley! Tonight's perforr is our old friend Carl, a freedom-loving Sagittarius skilled in blues, pop, and folk music. Our Douyin live stream is also broadcasting the performance, so feel free to join the live room to request songs! Co On!"
As his passionate introduction ended, the music started. A singer in a leather jacket and jeans stepped onto the stage, holding a guitar.
Tian Jing looked curiously at the stage and smiled, "The dining industry is becoming more competitive. It's hard to stand out without so unique features. Even this outdoor barbecue place has a resident singer. But it’s great; we can listen to music while eating."
"Definitely competitive," Tang Song agreed, his eyes on the guitarist, feeling a strong urge to play. Since leaving the dream instance, he retained all his guitar skills and experiences, making him a genuine guitar prodigy. Seeing the guitar nearby made his fingers itch.
Carl, the singer, lightly strumd the guitar strings, the sound spreading through the speakers. Lowering his head slightly, he said in a deep voice, "This song, 'You Are the April of This World,' is for everyone. I hope this April, everyone can be with the one they love."
As the soft, lodious prelude began, the stage lights dimd, and the audience fell silent, captivated by the beautiful music.
「BGM: Across mountains and rivers to embrace you, through all storms, we'll stay together.
Listening to the most beautiful mories, all about you...」
The song's lody was light and smooth, with beautiful lyrics that were easy to sing along to. Many custors took out their phones, so humming softly along.
Tian Jing also smiled and took a few photos, then comnted, "It sounds great, and his guitar playing is excellent."
She then sang along softly to a few lines. Her voice was sweet and clear, very pleasant to hear.
Tang Song placed a piece of at on her plate and asked, "You sing very well too. Do you enjoy music?"
"Yes, our departnt often goes singing for team building. Du Shaokai from your departnt sotis joins us. Honestly, he’s pretty thick-skinned, using our departnt’s funds, haha."
Tang Song nodded slightly, an idea forming in his mind.
In the "First Date Experience" task, it was clearly stated that the higher the peak satisfaction of the date, the richer the reward. The satisfaction level on a date was about the elent of surprise.
Currently, his looks, wealth, and depth were not outstanding in front of Tian Jing. The only exceptional thing he had was the guitar skills and talent brought back from the dream.
With this in mind, Tang Song's gaze towards Tian Jing grew more intense.
"Dear rich beauty friend, you're too short-sighted; you’ve never seen a true guitar master!"
