Love So Sweet

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zhang Yi Hai brought her over to a restaurant nearby the garden.

Fang Su Jin looked at the surroundings and thought that this restaurant was quite romantic. The restaurant was just beside the lake. There were a lot of trees surrounding them. There were fairy lights everywhere around the place.

As soon as they walked over, Zhang Yi Hai gave his name before the waiter brought them over to their table.

Zhang Yi Hai helped to pull the chair for his girlfriend before he sat down across from her. He watched as Fang Su Jin looked around the place and smiled. “What do you think of this place?”

Fang Su Jin looked around the place and noticed that there was a lot of couples around the place. “Do you come over frequently?”

“Of course, not.” Zhang Yi Hai coughed. “This was my first time. I heard about this place from my friends and thought that I could come over with you. I heard that the food here is quite good.”

Zhang Yi Hai had made their preparation for their first date. He asked around and finally found out that this place was quite popular among couples.

If it was not because of Fang Su Jin, there was no way that he would be visiting this kind of restaurant.

.....

He saw on the internet that girls liked going to this kind of restaurant. Therefore, he decided to take Fang Su Jin here on their first date to impress her.

The waiter come over to send over the menu and explained a little bit about the restaurant’s specialties before he finally walked away to give them some space to consider.

“What do you want to eat?”

Fang Su Jin looked at the menu and finally made her decision.

They ordered their food and Zhang Yi Hai thanked the waiter before turning to Fang Su Jin again.

Now that the waiter had left, Zhang Yi Hai noticed that Fang Su Jin had started to get quiet again. “Earlier, did you and the Art Association discuss your exhibition?”

Zhang Yi Hai thought that it would be better to talk to Fang Su Jin about something that she would be comfortable with.

Last time, Zhang Yi Hai was around when Teacher Jiang spoke about the exhibition in F Country. He had heard a little bit about it, but Fang Su Jin still had not made her decision when they parted after dinner.

Fang Su Jin began to relax upon hearing his question. This was a topic that she could talk about without feeling awkward.

“Un.” Fang Su Jin nodded. “My mentor thinks that it would be good for me to join the exhibition. It would give me the chance to grow and make my name.”

“Have they decided when they were going to hold the exhibition?”

“According to the association, maybe in another two months.”

Zhang Yi Hai seemed to be pondering about something. “Then, you have to tell me when you are going to F Country.”

Fang Su Jin took a sip from her drink and asked absentmindedly, “Why?”

“What do you mean, why?” Zhang Yi Hai chuckled. “Of course, it’s because I wanted to know what is my girlfriend up to.”

The word, ‘my girlfriend’ made her cheek a little hot. For a brief moment, Fang Su Jin did not dare to look at the young man in front of her.

Zhang Yi Hai continued to talk to her about her exhibition just so that Fang Su Jin would not feel awkward around him.

The two of them had known each other for years, but this might be the first time that they have talked so much. At the end of their dinner, Zhang Yi Hai realized that Fang Su Jin was really different than what he had thought.

He liked hearing Fang Su Jin talk about her paintings. Her eyes seemed to shine brightly.

Eventually, their dinner ended in a good atmosphere.

Seeing that the waiter had come with their bills, Fang Su Jin took out her wallet, wanting to pay for their meal. However, Zhang Yi Hai stopped her in time and let the waiter tap his card.

Fang Su Jin looked at this scene, feeling slightly guilty.

Her boyfriend was still studying and she did not feel comfortable letting him pay for her meal.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yi Hai was quick to notice Fang Su Jin’s mood.

“You should let me pay for the food.”

“It’s alright. I can still afford to buy my girlfriend some lunch.”

“Actually, you don’t have to pay for my meal,” Fang Su Jin said. “Zhang Yi Hai, you are still studying.”

Zhang Yi Hai stared at her and smiled. “I am not using my parents’ money if that is what you are worried about. Su Jin, I might still be a student, but I have some income myself.”

“Ah?”

“I made some investment to start up a company with my friends. Although it hasn’t been for a long time, we still made some money from it.”

Fang Su Jin seemed to recall that her friend, Zhang Li Xue had mentioned something about her little brother having been busy with his friends. She wondered if this was what she talked about.

“What sort of company you’re investing in?”

Zhang Yi Hai was happy that Fang Su Jin seemed to be interested in what he did. He told her about his IT company. In the beginning, this company was part of his assignment with his friends. Later, they thought that this business had a lot of potentials and decided to work on it.

As they were just starting, his uncle was helping him with the start-up and had given them some advice. Zhang Yi Hai thought that he was lucky to have his uncle who would help them so much in this company.

Fang Su Jin was surprised to learn about what he does.

No wonder he could join his father to talk about business and the economy.

Zhang Yi Hai was active in sports and his study.

Her boyfriend was too good. Fang Su Jin wondered just how did she get herself an excellent boyfriend like Zhang Yi Hai.

Her phone rang just as her mind was wandering somewhere else. Fang Su Jin glanced at the caller ID and saw Zhang Li Xue’s name.

Instantly, she started to panic.
