"This way, please."
Luo Jiu and Xu Shaojun took their seats one after the other. To Luo Jiu's surprise, Xu Shaojun very gentlemanly pulled out her chair.
"Thank you," Luo Jiu said softly to Xu Shaojun.
Two or three minutes before the food was served, Xu Shaojun leaned back in his chair across from Luo Jiu, staring intently at her with his dark eyes without blinking.
Luo Jiu blushed slightly under that gaze. Then, not to be outdone, she looked up at him.
She rested her chin on her hand, tapped her cheek with her little finger, and her fox-like eyes were slightly upturned, full of provocation, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her.
However, Xu Shaojun saw this expression as incredibly charming.
Her thin, upturned red lips were pouting, and her charming eyes were glistening with moisture, making her look incredibly attractive.
Just as Luo Jiu's eyes started to sting, a waiter finally appeared in front of them, interrupting the two who were staring at each other in an extremely childish manner.
"Excuse me, your dishes are all served."
When the waiter lifted the lid, there were two exquisite steaks.
Luo Jiu struggled alone with that piece of black pepper steak. There was no way around it; a loser is a loser. Even with memories of her past life, she still couldn't use a knife and fork.
Surprisingly, Xu Shaojun used it quite skillfully. He cut the pieces clearly and efficiently in just a few strokes.
Xu Shaojun handed over his steak and casually took the steak that Luo Jiu had ravaged.
"Oh! Luo! I can't believe I've run into you here."
The newcomer was a blond, blue-eyed foreigner with a large beard, speaking with a thick British accent in Chinese, and looking at Luo Jiu with eyes full of excitement.
A hint of surprise flashed in Luo Jiu's eyes. This was a classmate from his previous music lessons, who was an excellent violinist.
Luo Jiu smiled and praised, "Tom, your Chinese has improved a lot in just a few months!"
Luo Jiu answered in English, with a very authentic accent.
Xu Shaojun was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Luo Jiu to speak English so well.
It is said that Luo Jiu has only studied foreign languages for two years, yet her spoken English is already so fluent, which makes Xu Shaojun feel inexplicably proud.
But at the same time, she was also a little jealous, because she had never seen Luo Jiu so dazzling before.
What else do you have that I don't know about...?
The bearded man was delighted and warmly invited her to play a duet with him. Unfortunately, the pianist was ill that day, so the piano was empty.
Luo Jiu said that she came to eat with friends and couldn't leave.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shaojun, who had been completely ignored, stood up and said, "I can play with you."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu glanced at Xu Shaojun with some surprise, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Can you play the piano? I just don't believe it.
Amid Luo Jiu's confusion, Xu Shaojun sat down in front of the piano.
The prelude was a deep and melodious piano tune, like the moonlight, slowly pouring down. Then came a burst of cheerful, lively notes, flowing from the man's fingertips, like a playful sprite leaping in one's heart.
Xu Shaojun looked up and peered through the crowd, his deep eyes fixed on Luo Jiu.
This is a song played just for you.
Luo Jiu rested her chin on one hand and slowly placed the other hand on her heart, feeling its unusual beating.
The sound of the piano, accompanied by the violin, flowed slowly like a tide, filling the restaurant. Diners stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the two people playing on the stage.
The music gradually softened and faded until it disappeared completely.
