After leaving the company, Jian Ai didn’t go home. Instead, she got into a taxi.
It was the last day of the 1st of May holidays. When she was in Macau, she received a call from Brother Wu Bi. The other party said that if she returned early, she could contact him and have a meal together.
Since school would start tomorrow, Jian Ai took the initiative to call Wu Bi the night before. The two of them agreed to have dinner together in the evening.
Wu Bi had chosen the venue. It was not a splendid hotel or a romantic Western-style dinner. It was a quiet Japanese restaurant in Wanbao District.
The restaurant was not big but was very clean. Other than the two service staff, there was only the owner and his wife.
There were only three tables in the hall, and there were a few tatami cubicles around them. The reason they were half-closed was that none of the cubicles had a door.
The shop was small but the business was good. Wu Bi had already arrived when Jian Ai arrived.
He saw Jian Ai coming in from the door. Wu Bi was sitting in a room with tatami and waved at her.
“Brother Wu Bi!” Jian Ai smiled and called out as she walked forward.
Wu Bi was wearing a milky white sweater and a pair of khaki slacks. He did not deliberately tidy his half-length hair, and his fringe naturally covered his forehead. This look instantly changed his temperament, making him look like an eighteen-year-old youth.
“How is it? Was this place easy to find?” Wu Bi asked with a smile as he poured a cup of Japanese tea for Jian Ai.
His pair of phoenix-shaped eyes gradually narrowed with a smile, revealing a touch of vivid softness that made Wu Bi feel alive and close.
Jian Ai was also smiling. For some reason, when facing Wu Bi, she would reveal her most relaxed and natural state. Even if Wu Bi’s true identity was dangerous and secretive, it did not affect her at all.
This might be mutual. They would give each other the same response.
Brother Wu Bi was too gentle to her. This gentleness had no impurities or purpose, which was why Jian Ai enjoyed it so much that she appeared to be her real self.
She smiled and shook her head. “It’s not easy to find. The driver let me down at the junction. I had to ask a few passersby to find it.”
When Wu Bi heard that, he couldn’t help but smile and say, “I should go and pick you up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he explained to Jian Ai, “This shop is owned by a couple. The female boss is Chinese, while the boss is native Japanese. Although this shop isn’t big, you have to make an appointment. The ingredients here are all flown over from Japan. They’re very fresh. You have to eat more later.”
Wu Bi was a regular customer of this shop. When Jian Ai called him last night, he did not think about a luxurious and exquisite restaurant, but he immediately thought of this.
Jian Ai liked seafood, to begin with, and she loved raw food even more. She immediately nodded. “I won’t stand on ceremony then.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the female boss personally came to the table with a plate of exquisite sashimi. It was obvious that she was very familiar with Wu Bi. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said, “You’re here, Brother. I haven’t seen you in a while!”
Wu Bi smiled and answered, “There are a lot of things going on recently, but I’ve been thinking about your shop.”
The female boss was slightly plump but looked very young and beautiful. She had already noticed Jian Ai at first glance and thought that the young lady was really good-looking.
