After descending from the observation deck, just as Shi Yao had guessed, Lin Jiage brought her to the same open-air restaurant where they had dinner the previous time.
They were seated at the same spot as before. At the center of the three-meter-long dining table was a bouquet of fresh flowers and a candlestick with nine lit candles.
Even the waiter was the same one who had served them the previous time. As soon as they were seated, he asked the same question as before, "Mister Lin, may I know if we should serve the dishes now?"
Lin Jiage was still as taciturn as ever. He nodded slightly, indicating that it was fine.
With a smile, the waiter replied with a "Alright" before taking his leave.
Not too long later, the waiter pushed a trolley over to serve the dishes.
Looking at the dishes that were identical to the previous time, Shi Yao's gaze eventually fell on the sweet and sour ribs closest to her.
She remembered clearly that this was the very first dish that caught her eye that day. Just as she was about to pick up some food with her chopsticks, she suddenly noticed that something was amiss, so she raised her head and asked, "Hm? Didn't you say summer camp? Where are the others? "
If not for the fact that she knew that everything that had happened was real, she would have thought that it was all a dream.
A moment later, Shi Yao's gaze finally moved from the sweet and sour ribs to Lin Jiage's face. However, the words that came out of her mouth were different from the last time, "Lin Jiage, what's wrong?"
Lin Jiage didn't respond. Just like before, he was ladling soup into a golden porcelain bowl for her.
When he placed the bowl of soup in front of her, Shi Yao asked once more, "You … Why did you do what you did at Mountain Changming all over again?"
"This is fish soup. The fish is freshly slaughtered, so it's especially delicious. Have a taste." Under Shi Yao's relentless questioning, Lin Jiage finally retracted his hand from the bowl of soup and raised his head to look at Shi Yao. Just like that day, the flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes, accentuating his dashing aura.
"Lin …" Shi Yao could tell that Lin Jiage was intentionally changing the topic.
But barely after she said a word, he interrupted her once more, "These dishes are all specially prepared by the chefs here. Have a taste, they're all quite delicious …"
Shi Yao opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
This time, before she could say a single word, Lin Jiage had already picked up some vegetables and placed them on her plate. At the same time, he spoke up once more, "… It's cold now, and food outside will cool down quickly. You should eat it while it's hot."
Shi Yao stared at the mountain of delicacies on her plate, and it didn't take long for her to move her lips. However, in the end, she chose not to say anything. Instead, she replied with a "Thank you" before picking up her chopsticks.
Seeing her move her chopsticks, he followed suit.
Climbing the mountain in the afternoon had sapped a lot of her stamina, so she was starting to feel a little hungry. After filling her stomach, she realized that Lin Jiage had at some point in time put down his chopsticks and was staring intently at her through the flickering candlelight.
Even though it was a little dark outside, making it difficult for her to see the expression in his eyes, she could sense that he had a lot of things he wanted to tell her.
However, before she had a chance to speak, he said, "Are you full?"
Shi Yao nodded lightly.
