At noon, they found an ordinary tea restaurant by the long embankment for lunch. They ordered six home-style dishes and six bowls of rice. After finishing their meal, Dong Chengling told Ren Suo that their next rendezvous was at 1:30 PM, at Exit A of the Shipai Metro Station.
When they reached the metro station entrance, Dong Chengling waved at Ren Suo. "Just take Line 3, and you'll get there directly. I won't go down."
Ren Suo asked, "Aren't you taking the subway?"
"The date is over, and since you won't be around, I won't waste time. I'll just teleport home." Dong Chengling's lips curled into a slight smile. "The truth is, I don't actually like this kind of outdoor dating. Cultivation at home suits me better."
Ren Suo remarked, "High heels aren't comfortable either, right?"
Dong Chengling nodded. "Next time, I'll wear flat shoes, but I really like this outfit."
"I also..."
Ren Suo wanted to respond with 'I also really like it,' but after thinking about it, he didn't say it.
