510 Uncontrolled Date Plan

"H-how did you know?"

Gabriel stammered and asked in a panic.

Previously, she had never revealed that the restaurant they were going to was a couples' restaurant. Moreover, the restaurant was still closed, and there was no way to distinguish it from its decoration and the customers inside.

"It's written here."

Pointing to the row of small characters he had just found, Ren explained.

"..."

Seeing the direction he pointed, Gabriel realized the very clear small sentence.

Her attention was on the shop being closed, and she didn't pay much attention to places like this.

"Are we going to eat at a couples' restaurant?"

After saying this, Ren looked at the hand held by Gabriel.

If so, he could understand why Gabriel kept holding his hand and didn't want to let it go.

After all, we're here to eat at a couples' restaurant, so we have to pretend to be a couple.

"That's how it was originally planned."

After hesitating for a moment, Gabriel took the initiative to let go of his hand and said very shyly.

In the plan she made, the restaurant should be open, then she would take him here, and then have lunch with him here without him realizing it.

Why?

Of course, it was to fulfill his wish.

In the past, she asked him to fill out a questionnaire about the places he most wanted to visit, and the couples' restaurant ranked second in that questionnaire.

What she didn't expect was that her first step into that couples' restaurant would fail.

"Originally?"

Ren focused on this keyword.

"Yes, but the shop is closed, so we can only cancel it." Gabriel sighed.

"We can switch to another couples' restaurant."

Ren suggested proactively.

Now Gabriel finally had the idea of going to a couples' restaurant with him, and he didn't want to miss out.

Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to go to another couples' restaurant next time.

"No, let's just find the nearest place to eat." Gabriel refused.

Although she was mentally prepared to have dinner with him at a couples' restaurant, it happened without Ren's knowledge.

She has very thin skin, and there's no way she can continue with her initial plan even though she knows it's a couples' restaurant.

The key point of this plan is that Ren doesn't realize it.

It was precisely because of that that she was very surprised when he asked her if this was a couples' restaurant.

If Ren didn't know, they could just move to another couples' restaurant, but now that he knows, does it still need to change?

So, Gabriel stopped the journey to that couples' restaurant.

"OK."

Without agreement, Ren didn't say anything and started looking for the nearest restaurant.

Because Gabriel didn't want to go, he couldn't force her to go.

All he could do was wait.

"My luck isn't too good today."

After randomly choosing a restaurant, after ordering, while waiting for the food, Gabriel began to contemplate.

Logically, her plan for today should have been perfect.

First, change her image to impress Ren, take him to the fireworks show venue, stroll hand in hand, and talk about some interesting topics to create a fun and harmonious atmosphere.

Then they roamed until noon, and she suggested going to the restaurant, coaxing him into going to a couples' restaurant and having lunch with him without him knowing.

After leaving the restaurant, she would tell him that this restaurant is a couples' restaurant, giving him a surprise.

After this series of processes, although there's no way to make him smile, at least his expression would definitely undergo some changes.

But why did such a perfect script turn into this?

Looking at this very crowded family restaurant, Gabriel sighed again.

There's nothing wrong with changing her image to make his eyes shine, and his reaction is in line with her wishes.

But what happened next was completely beyond her expectations.

First, she learned the bad news that the weather forecast suddenly changed, and today it would rain. Then while hanging out hand in hand, her mind wasn't very clear, and the conversation topics weren't very pleasant, and though a bit heavy, there was no relaxed atmosphere created.

The most uncomfortable thing for her was that the couples' restaurant she chose wasn't open today!

This directly ruined most of her plan.

"My luck can't be this bad again today."

Gabriel complained inwardly.

She really couldn't imagine how unlucky she was, except now it's raining...

"It's raining outside."

At this moment, Ren suddenly spoke.

"???"

Gabriel was surprised and immediately looked out the window.

Only raindrops were visible, hitting the ground hard and soaking the soil.

The rain was pouring heavily.

"Sigh..."

Turning her face away, Gabriel leaned back in her chair weakly.

That's exactly what she said.

Can't she get something good?

"Let's go back after we finish eating."

After the waiter served the food, just when Ren was thinking about whether to remind her that it's time to eat, Gabriel took the initiative to speak.

"Aren't you going to continue?"

Ren was looking forward to today, and this anticlimax wasn't what he wanted.

"It's raining; we can't do anything."

Gabriel wanted to continue, but how could she continue if it was raining?

"Um."

Ren answered, took the chopsticks, and started eating his food.

"..."

Seeing the delicious food in front of her, Gabriel had no appetite at all.

She had clearly made so many preparations for today and checked so much information, but it didn't affect anything at all; everything was ruined by all the uncontrollable factors outside her control.

What is this?

After finishing the meal in a daze and paying, Gabriel and Ren arrived at the restaurant's door, preparing to leave.

Seeing the pouring rain outside that never stopped, she shook her head helplessly.

She had just thought that the rain stopped right after they finished eating.

Now it seems that she has thought too much about everything.

The plan that made him smile could only be postponed for a while.

"If the rain stops, can we continue the date today?" Ren's voice suddenly sounded.

"Yes, although it might have an impact, at least it won't delay our next trip." Gabriel replied casually.

Regarding weather like this, she had completely given up and had no expectations.

"Oh, the rain has stopped."

Ren's innocent voice sounded again.

"How could it... huh? The rain has really stopped?"

Gabriel was about to deny it, but it turned out that the rain had really stopped, and even the sun had come out.

"How?"
