A few days passed.
On this day, Le You enthusiastically recommended a new restaurant in City A in the group chat.
She said the restaurant was great, the food was great, the interior style was great, and the scenery outside was great.
She also said it was suitable for dates, specifically mentioning Lu Yunshu, who was currently involved in a brain-teasing romance.
Lu Yunshu closed the file and picked up her phone, only to see that she had been mentioned.
"..."
[Le You]: Do you need me to book a table for you, President Lu?
[Le You]: The owner is my friend, I can reserve a spot for you~
"..."
Lu Yunshu casually clicked on the restaurant pictures sent by Le You.
The restaurant was built on a mountainside, far from the hustle and bustle, with beautiful scenery. You could see the sunset, the evening glow dyeing the horizon red, and the stars filling the sky.
Sharing the sunset glow and the starry sky with a lover while enjoying delicious food, thinking about it... it was indeed quite wonderful.
But she didn't have a lover.
Nor did she have an excuse.
An excuse to invite her crush to dinner.
Lu Yunshu looked at the restaurant pictures, silent.
She opened the voice message, paused for two seconds, and finally chose to type.
Sending too many voice messages was too obvious and easy to expose, so she obediently typed the words she needed to type.
[Are you there?]
A few minutes later, Jin Hanshuang replied: [Just saw it, what's up?]
Lu Yunshu opened the voice message: "I want to invite you to dinner."
[Jin Hanshuang]: Dinner?
[Jin Hanshuang]: Why are you inviting me to dinner out of the blue?
Lu Yunshu lowered her head and pondered. Alright, she thought of a reason.
"Because the person I like accepted my gift, I'm happy and want to celebrate a bit. I recently discovered a newly opened restaurant, the food is delicious, and the scenery is also very nice, so I want to invite you to celebrate with me and check out the restaurant."
Jin Hanshuang understood.
[Jin Hanshuang]: President Lu wants to take me along for a review, huh?
[Jin Hanshuang]: If the restaurant is good, you can take her there next time, right?
Lu Yunshu's lips curved slightly.
[Sister, you're so smart.]
Jin Hanshuang saw these five words and gently shook her head.
The little one's thoughts were so easy to guess, she saw through them at a glance.
[Jin Hanshuang]: Why not go with your friends?
[Lu Yunshu]: I want to go with someone I can talk about her with.
[Lu Yunshu]: My friends don't know that I am...
She didn't finish the sentence, but Jin Hanshuang understood.
She suddenly remembered the day Lu Yunshu asked her for love advice.
What did Lu Yunshu say that day? Oh, she said that among the people she knew, only she and she liked women.
The memory ended, and when she looked at Lu Yunshu's words again, a sense of sympathy arose.
It seemed that this child usually had a hard time holding back in front of her friends, truly a little pitiful.
[Jin Hanshuang]: When?
Getting paid to do the job, it's only right, she should go.
[Are you free tonight?]
[Yes.]
[Then see you tonight.]
[Okay, see you tonight.]
Le You suddenly received three messages from Lu Yunshu.
[Help me book a table.]
[Tonight.]
[Thank you, Miss Le.]
Le You: "?"
So fast???
......
In the evening, Lu Yunshu and Jin Hanshuang arrived at the new restaurant on time.
At this time, you could see the sunset, which Le You had specially arranged.
The dining spot was right by the window, also specially arranged by Le You.
For the happiness of her friend, Miss Le worked very hard.
"Wow, the scenery here is indeed very nice."
After sitting down, Jin Hanshuang generously praised.
The skyscrapers of City A were condensed into a bustling scene outside the window.
The pale pink afterglow painted the distant horizon, grand and beautiful.
Jin Hanshuang took a few photos with her phone, sent them to her friends, then turned to look at Lu Yunshu, smiling lazily: "President Lu has a good eye."
Lu Yunshu smiled.
"As long as sister likes it."
She couldn't help but look at Jin Hanshuang's ears, where she wore the earrings she had given her, bright and sparkling, very beautiful.
Retracting her gaze, she felt even better.
Jin Hanshuang didn't think much: "Our President Lu is being generous."
The new restaurant was indeed nice.
The scenery was pleasing to the eye, the food suited their tastes, and they finished dinner harmoniously.
It was the first time they had dinner together.
Leaving the restaurant, they walked slowly to the parking lot along the well-maintained mountain path.
The sun had set, the sky was slightly dark, and the path from the restaurant to the parking lot was lined with star lights, one after another, crisscrossing like a galaxy net, illuminating the path under their feet.
The evening breeze brushed past, everything was just right.
In this perfect moment, Jin Hanshuang spoke: "This restaurant is very nice, you can confidently bring her here."
Lu Yunshu smiled slightly, not showing too much joy.
She said, "Alright, then I'll bring her here next time."
Jin Hanshuang looked around and added, "Don't let her drive, you drive to pick her up, then park the car a bit farther away. After dinner, walk along this path, talk as you walk, take your time. The mountain path is arranged so beautifully and neatly, with a cool breeze, it's perfect for romance."
Lu Yunshu raised her eyebrows, obediently: "Got it."
She realized she should have driven to pick her up today.
Jin Hanshuang nodded.
The topic ended there.
Lu Yunshu took the initiative to continue.
"What if she doesn't like it... what should I do?"
Jin Hanshuang was stumped.
What to do?
Such a beautiful place, so carefully chosen, what if she doesn't like it?
Jin Hanshuang looked at Lu Yunshu, saw her sincere expression, a bit troubled, looking a bit pitiful.
Jin Hanshuang couldn't help but laugh.
"What to do? Then you can act pitiful, maybe she'll soften."
"Hmm?"
Lu Yunshu didn't understand.
They stopped walking.
Jin Hanshuang faced Lu Yunshu, smiling brightly: "Do you know you sometimes look very pitiful? Like a little puppy, so pitiful, people can't do anything about you."
Her eyes smiled even more: "I never thought President Lu had this side."
Lu Yunshu blinked lightly, her expression hesitant.
She had...?
Jin Hanshuang held her face, smiling: "I never thought you'd grow up to be like this, Wenxin probably wouldn't have thought so either."
"Don't tell her."
Lu Yunshu suddenly spoke seriously, with a hint of childishness.
"She'll laugh at me."
Jin Hanshuang was suddenly caught off guard by Lu Yunshu's cuteness.
She couldn't help it and burst out laughing, then continued to laugh happily.
"Aren't you afraid of her laughing, but not afraid of Sister laughing?"
Lu Yunshu looked at her: "You're already laughing."
Jin Hanshuang then pressed her lips together, looking at her without making a sound, as if to say: See, I'm not laughing.
Lu Yunshu sighed softly, her brows and eyes full of helplessness: "Sister can laugh, but only you can laugh."
Jin Hanshuang's eyes and lips curved up.
"Really cute."
Lu Yunshu was stunned.
Cute... Jin Hanshuang said she was cute.
Then, a hand gently and softly patted her head.
Jin Hanshuang even patted her.
Jin Hanshuang couldn't help it, she really couldn't, because the person in front of her was so cute.
Serious yet childish cuteness, so cute that she unconsciously crossed the line a little.
The two of them looked at each other, the air subtly paused for a moment.
"Can I be your friend?"
Lu Yunshu broke the silence and suddenly asked this question.
"What?"
"Be friends."
"Why did you suddenly say that?"
"Because I'm cute."
"?"
"A cute person wants to be friends with sister."
She said it so seriously.
Jin Hanshuang couldn't help but laugh again.
So inexplicable, really inexplicable.
Inexplicably serious, inexplicably cute, not a bit annoying.
But what's wrong with that?
If the Lu family and the Shen family could coexist harmoniously, this might be the first step.
Jin Hanshuang responded softly: "President Lu is so cute, of course."
"Don't call me President Lu," Lu Yunshu said, "it feels so distant."
She frowned slightly, a bit troubled, a bit unhappy.
In Jin Hanshuang's eyes, she looked a bit pitiful.
Jin Hanshuang was silent for two seconds, then reached out and patted her head again.
"Alright, Little Lu classmate."
Little Lu classmate.
Lu Yunshu remembered her school days again.
"You used to call me that too."
Jin Hanshuang withdrew her hand: "You still remember?"
When Lu Yunshu and Shen Wenxin were in high school, their families lived together, and she didn't know how to address Lu Yunshu.
Calling her Yunshu was too intimate, not suitable.
Calling her Miss Lu was strange and didn't fit the surroundings.
So she called her "classmate Lu," "Little Lu classmate," politely and appropriately.
"I remember."
Lu Yunshu unconsciously mimicked her tone.
"I also remember what you taught, Teacher Jin."
She meant now.
Jin Hanshuang smiled: "Then you must use it well and start a sweet romance soon."
Lu Yunshu couldn't help but glance at her, lowering her eyes: "I'll try my best."
Then, she put her hand in her pocket and suddenly said: "Hanshuang, give me your hand."
Jin Hanshuang was momentarily stunned to hear her call her name, not reacting immediately.
It was the first time she heard Lu Yunshu call her that, a bit unfamiliar.
But Lu Yunshu called her so naturally, as if they had always been this close, never distant.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to show you something."
Jin Hanshuang extended her hand, not knowing what to expect.
Then she saw Lu Yunshu, like a magician, slip something round onto her wrist.
She was stunned for a moment, then looked closely-a hair tie.
A small floral hair tie.
She had never seen it before, it wasn't hers.
She looked up at Lu Yunshu.
"I saw it today and thought it was very cute, so I bought it for you," Lu Yunshu said, looking at her through her glasses with a smile, "to celebrate Little Lu classmate and Teacher Jin becoming friends."
As night fell, the star lights quietly emitted their glow.
The orange light fell on her face, illuminating her features and the charming light in her eyes.
The night breeze lifted her long hair, carrying the faint scent of her perfume.
Everything about her was suddenly presented to Jin Hanshuang, bright and impossible to ignore, like the lights beside them.
Jin Hanshuang was dazed for a moment, then came back to her senses and asked, "Why do you like giving people things so much?"
Lu Yunshu remained calm: "Because I'm a friend who likes to give gifts to friends."
Jin Hanshuang laughed: "Really? It seems being friends with our classmate Lu is very fortunate."
Lu Yunshu smiled as she heard her change the way she addressed her.
Not being called President Lu was nice.
Jin Hanshuang looked at the happy smile on Lu Yunshu's face, silently touching the small floral hair tie.
Everything was great, but she suddenly felt that something seemed a bit off...
