Is This a Couples’ Restaurant?

Fireworks show?

Hearing this, Ren looked around again.

Indeed, this place is perfect for hosting a fireworks show.

Not only is it spacious with a beautiful environment, but it's also very convenient to get here. He and Gabriel just walked a short distance and arrived here.

"Yes, I've checked it specifically." Gabriel proudly said.

She sacrificed her gaming time to check it. Although she found it by searching online, she still paid a lot.

Ren said, "Thank you for your hard work."

He finally understood what Gabriel had been checking on her laptop recently.

"Um."

Gabriel accepted his thanks with a clear conscience.

"Okay, don't just stand there. Walk with me."

Returning to his side, Gabriel reached out her right hand in front of him.

"For today, reluctantly, I'll let you hold my hand."

"Yeah."

Seeing the hand she extended, Ren didn't refuse and naturally held her hand.

This wasn't the first time he and Gabriel held hands, so their mood wasn't too complicated.

As for Gabriel, when Ren held her hand, it felt as if someone had cast a slow spell on her, and she was slightly out of control.

It wasn't the first time she and Ren held hands, but she still felt shy, and her cheeks were very hot.

"Let's go to the river first. I want to walk by the riverbank."

Turning her head to one side to prevent him from noticing her embarrassment, Gabriel suggested.

"Um."

Ren had no objections at all, so they walked hand in hand towards the river.

"... The water is very clear."

When they reached the river, Gabriel continued to think hard about the topic to distract her attention and not make herself look strange, but after thinking for a long time, she could only hold back this sentence.

She seemed to be exaggerating herself.

Initially, holding hands with her was just the first step in her plan, and walking by the riverbank was her focus.

If she followed the plan, she should take the opportunity to launch an attack now and talk about some interesting topics to try to make him smile.

She had thought about the topics she wanted to talk about; she just needed to say them.

But the problem was that all she could think about now was holding hands with him, and she had no idea how to bring up those topics.

She even had the idea of canceling the plan for today and holding hands with him to stroll around this place all day.

Most importantly, she was slightly moved.

"It is indeed very clear." Ren agreed.

For him, conversation at this level was very simple.

"..."

Gabriel suddenly felt like a fool.

How could she have a conversation at a kindergarten level?

"Gabriel, why did you choose this place for our date?"

As she considered whether to advance that topic, Ren took the initiative and asked.

"Compensation. Yes, compensation."

Hearing this question, Gabriel's restless heart immediately calmed down, and she lowered her head, telling the real reason.

"Compensation? Why?" Ren was confused.

Gabriel explained gently, "Because it's highly likely that I won't be able to fulfill my agreement to go to the fireworks show with you, and I will return late."

The time she returns is 9:30 AM on August 31, and although the time of the fireworks show is not determined, it's basically impossible for it to be on the night of the 31st.

Therefore, the reason needed to be explained beforehand.

So that her expectations wouldn't be disappointed.

"So that's it."

Ren nodded.

"I have a stomach ache."

Gabriel rarely apologized to others, but this time, she didn't say no.

"It's okay."

Ren forgave her easily.

"It's actually still uncertain. What if I have a chance to come back earlier, so I'll explain it to you in advance, so you won't be angry if I don't come back later."

Gabriel forced a smile and said these words as casually as possible so that he wouldn't worry too much.

But she knew very well that the chance of her returning to the human world earlier was very small, almost zero.

The reason she said that was just to lie to him.

If she could come back earlier, then everything would be fine, and nothing needed to be said.

If she couldn't and missed the fireworks show, she could only apologize to him again.

"Um."

Ren hoped that Gabriel could come back soon.

He was really looking forward to Gabriel going to the fireworks show with him.

"Let's go somewhere. It's not interesting here anymore."

Because of thinking about some bad things, Gabriel's idea of hanging out with him disappeared a lot. After holding hands with him and interacting for a while, she suggested leaving.

There's nothing here, empty and nothing to visit.

"Um."

Ren was still quite obedient.

"What time is it now?"

Even after leaving here, Gabriel still didn't let go of his hand, but hugged him tighter.

"11:45, almost noon."

After taking out his phone and checking the time, Ren answered.

"Time passes so quickly."

Gabriel sighed. She had just strolled around with Ren for a short time, and it was already noon.

However, this was also part of her plan.

Time for the next step.

"Since it's already noon, let's find a place for lunch." She suggested proactively.

Ren agreed, "Okay."

"There's a restaurant I want to visit. Let's go to that restaurant for lunch today."

As she said this, Gabriel's eyes slightly avoided, and she felt guilty.

"OK."

Seeing him agree, Gabriel couldn't wait to pull him towards her chosen restaurant.

She was sure Ren would like that restaurant.

Ten minutes later, in front of the restaurant.

"Why is this shop closed?"

Seeing the [closed] sign hanging on the door, Gabriel felt dissatisfied.

This was a restaurant she had carefully chosen long before deciding, and she was mentally prepared for it.

But she never expected it to be closed today.

"Is this?"

While Gabriel complained, Ren suddenly noticed a small line of words on the door sign.

[This shop only accepts couples]

Ren suddenly thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Is this a couples' restaurant?"
