This time, Smelian took Lu Xia to an open-air, garden-style restaurant.
There, they not only had a violinist but also a comedy skit. If guests were willing, they could even go on stage and perform themselves.
When Lu Xia and Smelian entered, the small garden area was already partially filled. Most of the patrons were females accompanied by males, making it clear this was a prime dating spot.
Upon seeing the two of them arrive, some people cast curious glances their way but didn't stare offensively. It was clear that most of the clientele here were of a certain status and understood etiquette.
Lu Xia didn't mind the scene; in fact, she found it rather novel.
'So there are this many novel places in the Empire I've never been to,' Lu Xia thought. 'Thinking about it, maybe I'm a bit of a workaholic.'
'Should I slow down and enjoy life a little more?'
