The restaurant's services and decorations were special and advanced. There was a robot at the main entrance, and it let out a faint steam and said "welcome" in a mechanical voice.
The robot also made simple welcoming gestures. There were not many people, but it was full of several tables. Each table was decorated with a candle-like lamp.
There were layers of wooden screens at the innermost part of the table. The tables and chairs were round and made of wood. There were potted plants around the restaurant, and it gave off a very comfortable and relaxing feeling.
Mu Ziyu's friends had not arrived yet, so they sat down first. Mu Ziyu took a menu and gave it to Qian Shuishui. "What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink?"
Shuishui looked at the menu. "I'll have watermelon juice. That's all for now. Your friends haven't arrived yet."
Shuishui studied the menu and noticed that their dishes were all served delicately stir-fried. She dishes looked appetizing in the pictures. She was unsure if the dishes would taste as good as they looked.
"I remember that you don't have any dietary restrictions, right?" Mu Ziyu remembered that Shuishui had previously said so.
"Yeah. I'm not picky, but I'm also paying attention to my diet now. I usually eat lighter food at night." Shuishui nodded. She was not picky about food, but she was picky about where to eat. Depending on the occasion, she liked to eat in big food stalls that are quiet, clean, and comfortable. She was not diagnosed as mysophobic, but she had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder concerning cleanliness.
Mu Ziyu made a phone call, and Shuishui lowered her head to look at the teacup. She started to daydream.
Shuishui thought about her plans for the next day. After class, she would go straight to the hospital. Mu Qing seemed to have asked her out for dinner, so she would go. She would go to the hospital first and then meet up with Mu Qing. She didn't know if Zilin was going or not, and she didn't have anything else to do. She would study when she got home.
Her fingers played with the teacup, but she didn't hear Mu Ziyu calling her.
"Shuishui?"
"Shuishui?"
Mu Ziyu knew that Shuishui would be bored. He took a chess piece from the side and said, "Why don't we play a game?"
"Okay." Shuishui came back to her senses and looked at the chess board. She wasn't very good at it, but she knew how to play.
They started playing chess. Mu Ziyu intentionally let Shuishui go and waited for her to make her move. He originally thought that Shuishui would take a long time to think about it, but he realized that she played fast and moved quickly.
They had played three games already, but no one else had arrived. Soon, Mu Ziyu's friends arrived. There were three men and one woman. When they saw that Mu Ziyu had brought a female friend, their expressions slightly changed. The girl especially was confused. She looked at Qian Shuishui and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Ziyu, who is this?" The blonde boy walked over to them and asked in confusion.
"Her name is Qian Shuishui. Didn't you guys always ask me to bring my girlfriend over? I talked to her for a long time today before I managed to convince her. She had other plans tonight," Mu Ziyu said with a smile. Then, he introduced his friends to Shuishui. "These are my friends Yue Zhenyu, Yang Mu, and Yang Yu."
"Take a seat," Yang Yu said.
The girl's name was Lin Lin. She was from the same university as them, but they were from different departments. Lin Lin was only a freshman and was their junior. She was Yang Yu's cousin.
"Ziyu, you're too shameless. You hid your girlfriend so well." Yang Yu felt very awkward, but his cousin felt even more awkward. He had originally planned to introduce a handsome man to her, but he didn't think Mu Ziyu had a girlfriend who was so beautiful and elegant.
Everyone began to order dishes. Mu Ziyu asked Shuishui considerately, "Shuishui, what do you want to eat?"
"You can order anything," Shuishui replied with a smile.
"Then I'll order some light food for you," Mu Ziyu said.
Shuishui was very quiet. If someone would initiate a conversation with her, she would reply. However, she gave off a cold attitude.
After a while, Lin Lin wanted to test Qian Shuishui. "Sister, how long have you been together with Brother Ziyu?"
Mu Ziyu chuckled. "Lin Lin, you can't call her sister. Shuishui is younger than you."
It was obvious from their appearance that Shuishui was younger than Lin Lin. Lin Lin felt a little awkward after Mu Ziyu corrected her. She felt she said something wrong. She did not think that Shuishui was younger than her. She laughed a little and said, "I'm sorry. I got it wrong. You can call me Sister."
Shuishui was speechless and only smiled a little.
They were not familiar with each other yet, so they did not really have anything much to talk about. Shuishui did not answer Lin Lin's question.
After they ordered the dishes, the group chatted and became engrossed in their conversation. Shuishui's mind wandered off again.
It was difficult for Shuishui to chat with someone she had just met. The others only asked her about her relationship with Ziyu and how long they've been together and how it all started. She felt dizzy with all the questioning. Fortunately, Mu Ziyu dealt with each of the questions. Otherwise, she would have been left speechless.
I've been a little busy recently, and my head has grown big. There will be more to come. Thank you for your support
