However, since Lin Xihe was unwilling to confide in him, Ye Yunfan, though full of doubts, did not ask too many questions. He simply stayed by her side silently, occasionally casting worried glances at her.
Upon arriving at the dining area, we found the downstairs hall already packed with people, bustling with activity and excitement.
Just then, a private room on the second floor became available.
The two then went up the steps and entered the private room, where they began to order food.
Seeing the slightly dull and awkward atmosphere, Lin Xihe thought to herself, "This is my problem. How can I let Ye Yunfan keep accommodating me?"
So she quickly started a conversation: "This shop must be doing really well. How did you find it?"
"In my spare time these past few days, I've been exploring the city, sampling all sorts of delicious food, and I stumbled upon this restaurant. There's another one that's quite unique, though it's a bit further away. I'll take you there next time," Ye Yunfan replied with a smile.
"Well, if there's a chance another day, I'll treat you."
"Is Miss Lin trying to distance herself from me? Or is she unwilling to come out with me?" Ye Yunfan was slightly taken aback, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face.
"Ah? No... it's just that I have some things to take care of..." Lin Xihe was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Looking at the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes, Lin Xihe felt a little hungry.
Although Ji Zhuo's cooking skills have improved when dining at home, he can only cook some basic dishes. He hasn't seen such exquisite food in a long time.
"Try this spicy eel slice; theirs is incredibly tender and delicious," Ye Yunfan said, picking up a piece and placing it in Lin Xihe's bowl.
"Yes, you eat too."
Just as Lin Xihe put the eel slice into her mouth, there was a loud "bang" and the door was pushed open forcefully.
Immediately afterwards, a figure emerged from behind the screen, and then the door was slammed shut again.
Lin Xihe froze instantly. As the figure slowly approached, she looked closely and saw a person dressed in fine clothes standing in front of her with a frosty expression.
This person is actually... Ji Zhuo?
