The restaurant's light was dim, paired with the tender, enthralling music; the flickering candle flames on the table made everything seem dreamlike and illusory, heartlessly moving.
Shen Shuci kept her head down eating until her phone vibrated, then she wiped the corner of her mouth, "Mr. Huo, I'm going to step out to take a call."
The man nodded without a word.
"Hello—Wanwan."
"Did you meet up with your friend?"
"Mm."
"That's good, just be careful on your own." Tang Wan was just worried and asked a few more questions. After Shen Shuci ended the call, she didn't return to her seat, but went straight to the cashier to settle the bill instead.
"Table No. 12, right?" The cashier operated the computer, "This bill has already been paid."
"Paid already?" Shen Shuci frowned.
"Our restaurant requires a corresponding deposit when making a reservation, and the meal cost is deducted from it, so there is no need to pay again."
