"Anything else?" Xu Tingchuan's face tightened.
Ni Sitian swallowed hard and said guiltily, "Uh, no."
"Really?" Xu Tingchuan raised an eyebrow.
Ni Sitian felt as if his eyes could see right through her. Not daring to lie, she gave a vague answer: "I've forgotten all of that."
Xu Tingchuan looked at her with deep eyes, without saying a word.
Ni Sitian wasn't sure if he believed her or not, so she took his hand, shook it gently, and said sweetly, "Why are you so jealous? We can do so many more things we've never done before."
Xu Tingchuan didn't say a word, but held her hand tightly and pulled her outside.
Once outside the hospital, Ni Sitian was shoved into the car by him. He walked around the front of the car, opened the door, got into the driver's seat, and started the car.
Ni Sitian initially thought they were going home, but the direction seemed wrong. She turned to look at Xu Tingchuan and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"A date," Xu Tingchuan uttered succinctly.
Ni Sitian was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. This man was really jealous. Even though she had said she had forgotten, he still cared.
However, Christmas Eve is indeed a great day for a date.
She looked out the window and saw that everything was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Shops on the street displayed various Christmas ornaments and played Christmas carols. Everywhere was bustling with people and full of excitement.
“The restaurants are packed right now. It’s not easy to find a place to eat without a reservation.” Ni Sitian turned to look at Xu Tingchuan. “So where are you taking me?”
Xu Tingchuan still didn't answer, focusing intently on driving ahead.
Before Ni Sitian could ask any more questions, Xu Tingchuan's phone lit up; it was Pei Yang calling.
Xu Tingchuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and put on his Bluetooth headset.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Tingchuan focused on driving and replied, "Take her home."
Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian knew that Pei Yang had found Jia Yue, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up Pei Yang's call, Xu Tingchuan, while driving, didn't take off his earpiece and dialed another number.
"I need to go over there and get ready," Xu Tingchuan said calmly before taking off his headphones.
"What are you preparing?" Ni Sitian asked Xu Tingchuan curiously.
Xu Tingchuan pursed his lips slightly, keeping everyone in suspense, "You'll know when we get there."
After hearing what he said, Ni Sitian didn't ask any more questions.
The car drove eastward, leaving the city.
Upon arriving at the pier, Ni Sitian asked with some surprise, "Why did you bring me to the pier?"
Xu Tingchuan bought ferry tickets, took her hand, and boarded the ferry.
There weren't many people on the ferry, which made Ni Sitian feel even stranger and more curious.
The evening breeze was chilly; he couldn't have brought her here just to feel the wind, could he?
This ferry seems to only reach the island on the other side, but apart from some village residents, there is only a lookout tower restaurant on that island. The owner of this restaurant seems to be rich and capricious, only serving one table of customers each night, and reservations are already booked until the second half of next year.
"You're not going to take me to that legendary restaurant, are you?" Ni Sitian looked at Xu Tingchuan in surprise.
Xu Tingchuan nodded. The ferry would be arriving soon, so there was no need for him to keep him in suspense any longer.
"Um, this restaurant must be hard to book, right? How come you could book it with just one phone call? Don't tell me you own it." Ni Sitian's eyes widened in disbelief.
When Xu Tingchuan saw the ship dock, he got up, took her hand, and led her onto the deck.
