On Christmas Eve.

After nightfall, the streets are extremely lively. There are many Christmas trees in the city, and strings of colorful lights connect the city. The cold night does not seem so bleak anymore.

The restaurant Han Xu chose was in the city center. It wasn’t particularly high-end, but it was also a place Lin Zhiyi would never choose to eat.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the balance of his bank card before walking into the restaurant.

After giving his name, the waiter led him to the second floor.

Compared to the bustling first floor, the second floor was deserted. There were four or five tables, but except for the one by the window where Han Xu was sitting, there was no one at the other tables.

Many people went out for dinner and dates on Christmas Eve, and there were people waiting at the doors of many restaurants. It was strange that such a large second floor was empty, as if... the whole place was reserved.

At this time, Han Xu waved over here with a smile.

Lin Zhiyi walked over and sat down, only to find that this place had an excellent geographical location. Looking down from above, he could have a panoramic view of the entire street market.

"I've already ordered the food. See if there's anything you don't like." Han Xu handed over the menu and pointed to the page.

Lin Zhiyi didn't have any opinion on what to eat, he just wanted to check the price.

But the menu that was handed to me had no prices on it.

He frowned, but the waiter was still standing nearby, so he was too embarrassed to say anything. He glanced at all the dishes and said, "There's nothing I don't like."

"That's good." Han Xu breathed a sigh of relief and handed the menu to the waiter, who understood and left.

There were only two of them left on the entire floor.

Han Xu picked up the cup and asked, "Senior, do you want to drink?"

"No." Lin Zhiyi shook his head, "I can't drink much."

"Then have some Coke." Han Xu took out a bottle of Coke from somewhere and poured it for himself, then asked Lin Zhiyi if he wanted some.

Lin Zhiyi nodded, and Han Xu poured him a glass.

There was still some time before the meal was served. Han Xu propped his head up with one hand, trying to find something to talk about. "Senior Lin, besides your part-time job, what do you usually do?"

What do you do? Is it for leisure and entertainment?

Lin Zhiyi thought for a moment: "Practice the piano, or read a book."

"Ah... reading. I like reading too. What books are you reading recently?" Han Xu took the phone, tapped the screen with one hand, and asked casually.

It is a bit impolite to play with your phone while chatting, but Lin Zhiyi doesn't care about it.

He thought for a moment and said, "Have you seen 'The Narrow Gate'?"

Han Xu tapped the screen with his fingertips and spoke in a slightly drawn-out voice, "Ah, The Narrow Gate... I used to really like Gide's book. It gives people a feeling of purity, passion, and loneliness..."

Lin Zhiyi: “…”

He glanced at the reflection of Han Xu's phone screen on the glass window and was speechless for a moment.

This person... is reading Baidu Encyclopedia?

It's a pity that he could respond so calmly and with such good acting skills, he didn't become an actor.

Han Xu had a very good memory. He put down his phone after only looking at it for a dozen seconds, and then he just came up with a bunch of his own "opinions" based on the fragmentary information he had just seen.

Lin Zhiyi didn't expose her and continued the conversation cooperatively.

This feeling is not unpleasant, I even feel... a little cute.

After a while, Lin Zhiyi discovered that Han Xu seemed very interested in his life. He was also very smart. He used books as a starting point to talk about aspects of life.

Lin Zhiyi tried his best to defend himself, but he was also tricked into talking a lot.

He felt a little unhappy.

But Han Xu also honestly laid out his situation.

Lin Zhiyi had the illusion that... they were on a blind date.

He shook his head again.

It’s just a meal, why does it bring up so many strange associations?

…

After dinner, the two went downstairs together.

Many shops on the street are still open, and the colorful lights are twinkling like colorful stars.

Han Xu took a few photos, lowered his head and sent them to someone, then suddenly turned the phone around to show Lin Zhiyi: "I'm sending them to my mother and my sister."

...There's no need to talk about this kind of thing, right? He wasn't really curious.

Lin Zhiyi felt a little puzzled. This young master was too enthusiastic towards others, which was different from the rumors he had heard.

However, the fact that he spent money lavishly was verified.

It took half an hour to walk from the restaurant to Lin Zhiyi's home. Along the way, Han Xu would buy something from every store he passed, just like checking in at a tourist attraction. On the way, he met a group of people handing out candy in groups, and he even exchanged gifts with them.

On the way, I even bought a bag of apples.

When he arrived at the door of Lin Zhiyi's house, he turned around and said goodbye to Han Xu.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "How much did dinner cost today? Let's split the bill."

Although Lin Zhiyi knew very well that Han Xu was just bored because all his friends had gone home and wanted to find someone to have dinner with, he couldn't eat the meal for free.

Han Xu smiled, seeming to find it quite novel: "AA? How do I A?"

"Fifty-fifty." Lin Zhiyi explained.

"That's not fair," Han Xu said. "I drank your soup and ate your dessert."

Lin Zhiyi couldn't finish so much, so Han Xu took it and ate it.

Lin Zhiyi said: "AA doesn't care about that much."

"But I don't like the AA system." Han Xu leaned against the door and sighed, "It makes me feel like... I was rejected on a blind date."

Lin Zhiyi: “?”

Lin Zhiyi didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Han Xu said, "Don't you know? If a girl doesn't like a guy during a blind date, she'll suggest splitting the bill and drawing a clear line."

He lowered his eyes and looked over, a hint of grievance in his beautiful eyes: "Do you hate me? Do you want to draw a line between us?"
