After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 226 Date A Live

When the two came out of the billiard room, it was already past noon and they were half hungry.

Bai Lu took Jiang Shu to a quiet restaurant. There was soothing light music playing inside, a quiet courtyard outside, and fresh flowers decorating the dining table. The dishes were a mix of Chinese and Western cuisine, and the exquisite plating was very stylish, creating a strong atmosphere.

Jiang Shu looked at the interior environment and was surprised that Xiaolu would find such a restaurant. Generally speaking, the diners are couples or close friends, and it is especially suitable for a candlelight dinner as a date to enhance relationships.

Bai Lu noticed that in the corner, there was a couple secretly biting their lips.

She blushed slightly and glanced at Xiaoshu out of the corner of her eye. She found that he looked normal and seemed to be simply treating this as a place to eat.

She couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them found a seat against the wall and sat down. A waiter came over immediately to take their order.

"Xiaoshu, what do you want to eat?"

Jiang Shu took the menu and glanced at it, then ordered charcoal-grilled lamb chops, pickled pepper bullfrog, fried prawns with curry and chives, curry beef pasta, and Italian tomato meatballs. He also ordered two glasses of sparkling water and a cheesecake. The restaurant also gave him a vegetable salad.

Five courses for two people, considering that in this kind of restaurant, the portions are generally not too large, so it should be just enough.

He quickly did the math in his head and figured that the meal would cost a total of 327 yuan. It was a little expensive, but the environment was really good. At least it wasn't one of those shady restaurants where the original price was 68 yuan but the presentation cost 168 yuan.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two sat face to face. Bai Lu pinched his fingers nervously and wanted to say something but stopped himself several times, not knowing how to start.

Eating with Xiaoshu in this restaurant, it feels like we are a real couple. I wonder if Xiaoshu will misunderstand me...

Bai Lu pursed his lips and said, "Xiao Shu, playing billiards today is a bit fun. Can I ask you to play billiards with me in the future?"

"Sure, there's one near our house." Jiang Shu said with a smile.

“But there’s one thing I don’t know.”

"It's okay, I can continue teaching you."

"OK."

After the dry conversation, the atmosphere became silent again. Bai Lu felt distressed and said, "Speak! Think about what to say!"
Jiang Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at her with a smile: "Xiaolu, what are you thinking about?"

"No, no, no, I didn't think of anything!"

"Then why is your face so red?"

"what!?"

Bai Lu was startled and immediately held his face with both hands, but he felt the temperature in his palms, which were also warm, was still rising.

She stood up suddenly and said in a panic, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Looking at Xiaolu's panicked back, Jiang Shu smiled. They were just having a meal together like a couple. Why did she suddenly become so shy?

Little deer, you are so cute.

She walked quickly to the bathroom. Bai Lu looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was as red as an apple and she looked embarrassed.

She cursed herself for being useless, thinking that Xiaoshu must have seen through her. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then took out a tissue from her bag, wet it with water, and gently patted it on her face to cool down physically.

After a long time, Bai Lu saw that his complexion had finally returned to normal, but he couldn't guarantee that he would blush inexplicably in front of the little tree again.

Bai Lu felt that he must be sick. No matter how close he was to Xiao Shu before, this had never happened to him. But now, he would always feel blushing for various reasons.

I still think of him from time to time in my heart.

"Come on, little deer. Isn't it something you've always wanted to have a date with little tree (crossed out) for dinner?"

Bai Lu patted her little face and encouraged herself in her heart. After walking out of the bathroom, she happened to see a sister feeding her brother in front of her. Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

After returning to her seat, she saw that the dishes were almost all on the table. Bai Lu put her hands behind her buttocks, pressed down her skirt and slowly sat down.

"The waiter said the pickled pepper bullfrog will take a while, so we can eat the other food first."

"Um……"

Bai Lu agreed softly, took the sparkling water beside her and took a sip. There was a small mint leaf floating on it, which made it look more tasteful.

Jiang Shu seemed to have forgotten that Bai Lu's face was blushing just now. Looking at the two small charcoal-grilled lamb chops, he still overestimated the portion size of this restaurant.

"Try it quickly, it tastes okay."

Bai Lu nodded, wrapped a circle of pasta with a fork and put it on his plate, taking small bites and tasting it. It tasted really good.

"Xiao Shu, there will be a concert in Jiazhou soon. Do you want to go? I should be able to get tickets."

"What kind of concert? Is it just a lot of people getting together to play music?" Jiang Shu said as he served her lamb chops.

"Yeah! But there are also solo ones, like playing the piano or something."

"Will you attend?"

Bai Lu blushed and shook his head vigorously: "How is that possible! My level is far from enough!"

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Xiaolu may become a great musician in the future."

Bai Lu stuck out her tongue cutely. She didn't even dare to imagine such a thing.

“Does Xiaoshu know Wang Yujia?”

"Who is that?"

"This is the pianist I admire the most. She is amazing."

“I’ve only heard of Lang Lang.”

"They are senior and junior classmates, and they are both very good at piano. It is said that she will have a solo concert in Tianjin in April this year, but we had to prepare for the entrance examination at that time, so we did not go." Bai Lu's tone was full of regret.

Jiang Shu laughed and said, "Will I be able to see Xiaolu's solo concert in the future?"

"Although I have been practicing piano, it is too difficult to play solo. You have to be a great pianist to do this. If I just want to join a band, it is still possible." Bai Lu said helplessly. She hasn't even passed the tenth level of amateur piano yet. It's too early to think about these things.

"Don't underestimate yourself. If you have a dream, you must work hard. Who knows, you might achieve it someday."

Jiang Shu picked up the glass of sparkling water and smiled slightly, "I'm very optimistic about you, the future piano master."

Bai Lu was stunned and said, "Xiao Shu, do you want me to become a pianist?"

"It's not me who hopes, but you. Ask yourself what kind of person you want to be. Work hard for your dreams. That's super cool!"

Jiang Shu shook the iced sparkling water and clinked his glass with hers: "Cheers to our ideals and our future."

Bai Lu suddenly nodded heavily, saying seriously: "I will try my best!"

They both smiled and took a sip.

"Xiaolu, tell me when the concert is going to start, and I'll make time to go with you."

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"Hehe, you even lied to Zhuzhu and Yaoyao, maybe you will lie to me in the future." Bai Lu said with a pout.

Jiang Shu's expression froze immediately. How could he refute this? He said it so bluntly. At least give him some face. "Things that haven't happened yet don't count." He said stubbornly.

"So that means it will happen?"

"..."

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Bai Lu burst out laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Everyone tells lies. I lie sometimes too. As long as it's a white lie, I won't bother with you."

“What is a white lie?”

"Hmm..." Bai Lu racked his brains and thought about it, then said uncertainly, "Will lying bring better results?"

Jiang Shu thought silently, if he deceived Xiaolu for Zhuzhu in the future and kept secrets from each other, maybe they could live a better life. Is this considered a white lie?

"I promise you."

"Hey, let's put it this way~"

Bai Lu blinked her eyes and suddenly felt very happy. She didn't mind Xiao Shu lying to her. As long as it was not a malicious concealment or deception, she could accept it.

After a while, the pickled bullfrog was served. The portion was not large and the plate was very delicate. As for the taste, it was just okay.

The two chatted and laughed, and slowly finished most of the dishes.

Jiang Shu subconsciously wanted to pay the bill, but Bai Lu pushed him back to his seat with a fierce look on his face.

"Don't move. Sit still. I promised to treat you to a meal. And last time you bought me clothes, you didn't even ask me for money."

"Little deer."

"what?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you can be cute when you're angry?"

"!!!"

If blushing in real life had animation, you would definitely see steam coming out of Bai Lu's head, like boiling water, and the shame burned to her ears in an instant.

She immediately turned away in shame, but her tone was still firm.

"Anyway, you wait here for me. I'll go pay."

Little did she know that she had already lost as she blushed and didn't dare to look Jiang Shu in the eyes.

Bai Lu was afraid that Jiang Shu would say something cute again, so she walked away quickly, but her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken by one or two times.

She inexplicably thought, was Xiaoshu teasing her just now?
Hate.

Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"Would you like to pay the bill?"

The waiter's voice brought Bai Lu back to reality. She nodded blankly, then pointed to her seat. Seeing that Jiang Shu was still smiling, she blushed and turned back as if nothing had happened.

"Wait a minute, that's 327 dollars in total."

Bai Lu nodded and took out four hundred-dollar bills from her bag and handed them over. Although she also felt that the meal was a little expensive, she unexpectedly felt that it was worth it and had an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her heart.

After getting the change, Bai Lu walked back to his seat, and Jiang Shu asked, "How much?"

"327."

"Oh, it's the same as mine. The price is clearly marked, without any hidden fees. It's not bad."

After lunch, Bai Lu took Jiang Shu to the cinema again. There happened to be a summer movie called "Transformers 3" which had not yet been released.

Jiang Shu wanted to take Yaoyao to see this movie during the summer vacation, but not only did they have to attend the junior high school preparatory class during the summer vacation, but they also had their own things to do on weekends, so the plan was put on hold.

Jiang Shu has watched almost all the Transformers series, but he has almost forgotten the plots.

It's mainly a popcorn movie like this with fighting and special effects all the time. There's really no plot to speak of. It's worth watching it for fun.

"Xiaoshu, wait for me for a moment, I'm going to the bathroom." Bai Lu said.

"Go ahead, I'll go buy some popcorn and Coke, and we'll eat while we watch."

"Just buy one bucket. I ate too much just now and I can't eat anymore."

"Then don't buy popcorn. I can't eat it either."

American Hollywood blockbusters are popular all over the world in this era thanks to their excellent special effects. As long as the special effects are acceptable, the theaters will be full.

The two of them bought their tickets just before the show started, and almost all the good seats were taken, so they had to sit in the corner of the back row.

"What a shame! If we had arrived earlier, we might have been able to get a better seat."

In the darkness, if you could see Bai Lu's little face clearly, you would find that she didn't look regretful at all. She just wanted to watch a movie with Xiao Shu alone. As for what movie it was, she didn't care as long as Xiao Shu liked it.

Moreover, this corner that no one cared about was exactly what she wanted. What really made her feel pity was that it would be great if this was a horror movie.

Two and a half hours passed quickly. It has to be said that in this era, the American film industry is second to none in the world. As a reborn person, Jiang Shu was still able to watch it with great enthusiasm.

Bai Lu watched with Jiang Shu silently. After watching, she just felt that Transformers were really amazing. It would be great if the electrical appliances at home could also transform. No wonder so many boys like them.

"Xiaoshu, do you like Transformers very much?"

“There shouldn’t be any boy who doesn’t like it, right?”

"What about Ultraman?"

"Ultraman is light, the two are different. If you ask me to choose, I would probably choose Tiga." Jiang Shu said with a smile.

Bai Lu thought about it carefully but couldn't figure out what the difference was. It was obvious that Transformers were much cooler than those people in suits.

"Next, where do we go?"

Bai Lu took out a small notebook from her bag and flipped it open to take a look: "Playing arcade games?"

"Forget about the arcade, Xiaolu. I've had a lot of fun today. There's no need to make it all about me." Jiang Shu said seriously, "Next, let's go to the bookstore and then to the calligraphy association. That's enough for today."

"Yeah, well, we'll go wherever you say."

After the two came out of the cinema, they went to the nearest bookstore. Bai Lu bought a composition book and some extracurricular materials, while Jiang Shu wandered around the bookstore.

He saw some published online novels and adapted comics. If he had not rejected the editor's kindness, Fights Break Sphere would probably appear here now and become a best-seller.

Afterwards, Jiang Shu found a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and read it slowly. He did not choose to turn on his photographic memory, as a literary masterpiece like this should be savored slowly to appreciate it.

Bai Lu found a book called "The Summer Is Yet to Come" and sat next to Jiang Shu to read it. Jiang Shu turned his head and glanced at the title of the book, and suddenly he felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

He had read this book when he was in high school. While the teacher was giving a lecture, he was secretly reading the novel below, and he read it so hard that he cried.

Looking back on it later, I just feel that I was stupid for being tricked into tears by such youth trauma literature.
