He is late.

Gu Ruoxue stood at the door of the room, looking down at him, as if she was looking at a piece of trash that had not obeyed its promise in some garbage dump.

She had long black hair that flowed naturally, fair skin, and dark clothes that highlighted her slender and elegant waist and long legs. She glanced at him sharply, as if she wanted to see through him.

Moreover, her posture left no room for attack, like a rose covered with thorns, and her frosty aura made him feel suffocated.

There was only one thought left in his mind.

Damn it, I'm late~

However, it was all Su Cheng's fault!

"Seven and four."

Gu Ruoxue spoke. Her voice was as calm as water, floating slowly in the echo of the hotel corridor and could be heard clearly.

Su Cheng panted, sweat dripping from his forehead, and raised his head with difficulty: "Sorry."

He didn't try to defend himself.

"Come in and take a break."

Gu Ruoxue turned around and opened her door, motioning him to go in and sit down to rest for a while, then said, "You're sweating all over. It won't look good to go out like this."

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Gu Ruoxue did not blame him.

"Thank you."

Su Cheng knew that Gu Ruoxue also saw him running back with all his might, and he was very grateful for her tolerance.

After all, being late would make even the closest couple unhappy.

What's more, there is no ambiguity between the two of them now, let alone a relationship as lovers.

"You are Welcome."

Gu Ruoxue walked into the room, sat on the edge of the bed, put her fingertips on her eyebrows, turned on the TV, and then her eyes fell on the TV screen.

However, Su Cheng was a little hesitant when looking at the door of the room, because this was Gu Ruoxue's room, it was a private place after all, and it might be inappropriate for him to go in.

Besides, my room is right next door.

But the open door of the room made him feel like an invitation for him to come in.

So he asked tentatively: "I..."

"Come in and sit down."

Gu Ruoxue didn't even turn her head, but just said this calmly.

Hearing this, Su Cheng slightly relaxed his tense body and stepped into the room. The layout of the room was the same as his own, the only difference was that it was filled with Ruoxue's scent, as fragrant as lavender, refreshing.

Seeing Su Cheng sitting down on the sofa, Gu Ruoxue withdrew her hand and said calmly: "Since you are late, let's tell a story."

Su Cheng was a little confused: "Huh?"

"Don't you want to?"

Gu Ruoxue glanced at him sideways.

"Uh..." Su Cheng touched his nose, a little unsure whether the other party wanted to bridge the gap between them by telling a story: "What story do you want to hear?"

Gu Ruoxue didn't say anything. She just picked up a piece of cake she had bought from the coffee table and put it into her mouth to chew. She stopped chewing after eating a whole piece. Then she looked at him and said calmly, "Whatever."

Su Cheng was a little embarrassed to speak after hearing this: "Oh, then..."

Telling stories is still somewhat shameful for him.

But there was nothing he could do, after all, it was his fault for being late.

So he paused, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "Once upon a time there was a mountain, on the mountain there was a temple, and in the temple lived three monks..."

He talked for a long time, telling the story of the three monks. Every time he spoke, he would notice Gu Ruoxue's expression.

Unfortunately, there was nothing but calmness on the other person's face.

It was as if she had heard this story before. No matter whether her tone became more excited or low, or her voice was raised a little, it had no effect on her.

That’s all…”

He swallowed and looked at Gu Ruoxue nervously. He found that the other person's face remained calm and there seemed to be no sign of anger, but he did not dare to let his guard down easily.

"If you make such low-level mistakes again in the future, just tell a new story yourself." Gu Ruoxue's tone was still calm. After she finished speaking, she continued to stare at the TV screen without any movement, not even a glance.

"What if I don't have a story to tell?"

Su Cheng asked cautiously.

Gu Ruoxue stared at his face closely, and her tone was just as her name indicated: "You have to make up a new story for me."

Su Cheng immediately had the answer in his mind.

Gu Ruoxue suddenly stood up and walked closer to Su Cheng. She stared into Su Cheng's eyes and said, "You can go out now."

"okay."

Su Cheng stood up and tidied his slightly messy clothes.

Gu Ruoxue walked towards the door first.

He followed silently behind.

Gu Ruoxue's black hair fell behind her like a dark waterfall, swaying gently as she moved, revealing her delicate and beautiful profile.

"Where are we going?"

Su Cheng asked in a low voice.

"dinner."

Gu Ruoxue's tone was cold.

"it is good."

Su Cheng nodded.

Although he ate two bowls of noodles, he didn't say anything to spoil the fun like "I ate it". Besides, he wasn't full and needed to eat more to relieve his hungry stomach, but...

Why come to this kind of store?

At this moment, the two were standing at the door of a high-end Western restaurant.

In particular, there was a faint sound of piano coming from inside, which made Su Cheng, who had never been to a high-end western restaurant, a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw the environment inside the restaurant——

The dining table was covered with a soft white tablecloth and filled with various candles; the men inside were all wearing suits or jackets, and the women were also dressed very formally, giving the overall look a refined and elegant feeling.

The most important thing is that he was wearing casual clothes, so he was not stopped by the security guard and told that he was not allowed to enter because he was not dressed properly.

But I didn't feel good about myself. Instead, I felt very uncomfortable and out of place, in sharp contrast with my surroundings.

This feeling made Su Cheng feel terrible, not only because of his own embarrassment, but also because of this atmosphere.

He doesn't like coming to places like this.

But the problem is, Gu Ruoxue would naturally take this into consideration. After all, relying on the other party's understanding and knowledge of herself, including his preferences, habits, etc., she has observed his every move thoroughly.

There was no reason for her to deliberately come to a place like this where she knew she wouldn't be comfortable, so she definitely thought carefully before bringing herself here.

perhaps…

Maybe there is something special about this restaurant?

Or maybe, have they been here before?

Any special meaning?

Su Cheng guessed.

Su Cheng took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress the discomfort that was rising in his heart, and looked up at Gu Ruoxue in front of him.

She had naturally completed the reception with the restaurant waiter, and then, under the guidance of the waiter, she came to a small private room. Looking inside from the outside, there were only two seats inside.

It is obviously a private room with the theme of a world for two people.

The table was decorated with seasonal flowers, and candlelight was dancing and shining in the center of the table. Everything seemed so warm and romantic that Su Cheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn’t this the scene that should happen when a couple goes on a date in a movie?

and……

The two waiters helped to pull the table apart, signaling that the two could take a seat. After Su Cheng sat down somewhat awkwardly, the waiters respectfully retreated.

"I thought you should have eaten, so I ordered a set meal."

Gu Ruoxue broke the silence: "Because it is a set meal, there are not many dishes. If you are not full, you are welcome to order directly from the menu."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to a place like this?"

Su Cheng couldn't hold it in any longer and went straight to the point.

If he had known he was going to come to this place, he would have dressed more formally. After all, on his last birthday, Xiaoqiqi gave him a set of expensive suits, which he carried with him in the system space.

This outfit will make you look stunning wherever you wear it!

But before Gu Ruoxue could finish, the waiter came in with a tray in his hand, put a silver tray on the table, and said with a smile: "You two, this is your appetizer soup before the meal."

"Thank you."

Gu Ruoxue nodded politely.

"Okay, please enjoy."

The waiter bowed and left.

Su Cheng looked at the so-called appetizer soup, a coffee cup-sized cup filled with fragrant cream mushroom soup.

There were three pairs of knives and forks, as well as a soup spoon, on both sides of his plate.

Looks very professional.

He had been exposed to restaurant etiquette before. (ps: Zhao Yan and the other girl did some homework when they went out to play, but it was not used.)

But he did not attack first, but looked at Gu Ruoxue.

Gu Ruoxue spread out the napkin, sat upright on the chair, took a sip of soup from the outside with a silver porcelain spoon and drank it, then wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue: "It tastes pretty good, you try it."

Su Cheng picked up the cutlery upon seeing this, and without moving his body, he put spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. If it weren't for etiquette, he would have just drank the soup in one gulp.

for a long time,

He looked at the empty plate and placed his knife and fork in a cross shape, indicating that he was waiting for the next portion.

And he saw Gu Ruoxue was also tasting it, so he didn't disturb her, but sat on the chair and waited.

Soon, side dishes, main dishes and seasonings were served one after another.

This time he looked at the dishes without hesitation, and very naturally picked up the knife and fork on the inside, imitating Gu Ruoxue's elegant way of eating.

After a long time, the dessert was finished, which also marked the end of the banquet.

Finally, Su Cheng placed the knife and fork with the handles parallel to the four o'clock position on the right edge of the plate, indicating that he was full.

"Thank you."

He wiped his mouth and thanked me politely.

Gu Ruoxue narrowed her eyes and looked at him, smiling and saying, "I didn't realize you could be so refined and elegant?"

"I am a gentleman."

Su Cheng said with a smile, and then looked at her seriously: "You should know that I am not very comfortable in this kind of place, why did you pull me here?"

Gu Ruoxue glanced at him calmly after hearing this, and said softly, "You will have to face it sooner or later. No matter how you try to avoid it, it will be useless. In this case, you might as well get more familiar with it."

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that he knew a lot of mixed-race children. If he wanted to meet their parents in the future, he would definitely have to come to a place like this, so he didn't think about it anymore.

After all, this is an important etiquette for socializing at the table.

Gu Ruoxue conveyed this meaning through actual feelings instead of words, which indeed made it easier for him to accept.

But the problem is...

"Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Su Cheng couldn't help but ask.
