You heard many good things about Wanmin restaurant. Mostly because Hu Tao always praised its delectable cuisines, along with Xiangling's top tier unique cooking.

But you never really experienced the restaurant's food firsthand, until today.

Zhongli insisted on driving the both of you to the restaurant since Xiao refused to drive and you... well.

But nonetheless, Xiao eventually gave in and agreed to let his guardian drive you both.

Upon arriving, you observed the restaurant intently, noticing every detail. And you had to admit, you were excited to have your first date here.

The traditional style of the building did it justice, and you could only imagine how good the food would taste.

After entering, you both saw a familiar face approach you.

"Welcome!! I'll show you two where your table is!" Xiangling exclaimed as you both walked in, causing the two of you to shift your attention towards her.

You both simply nodded before following the female from behind. And after taking a seat across each other at the table, Xiangling waved to you both as she went off again.

"What will you order?" You asked Xiao, trying to prevent a silence atmosphere. Though, you already knew the answer.

"Almond tofu."

Of course. You gave him a small smile as you sighed. Andd it's awkward.

Hu Tao lead the group to the restaurant's entrance quietly, making sure you and Xiao didn't notice them.

"Alright, we will split up here so that they don't get suspicious when we go inside," the brunette explained.

Scaramouche crossed his arms while clicking his tongue. "I still don't think this is a good idea."

"Just do as I say."

She gestured for Heizou and Itto to go in first. Heizou simply shrugged his shoulders and went inside, while Itto was more hesitant but eventually gave in.

Scaramouche and Childe went in next, Keqing and Kaeya followed after them, and Hu Tao went in last.

She was more than confident about how this would turn out.

And certain that there was absolutely no way that you or Xiao would ever recognize them.

Xiao immediately recognized Itto the moment he walked in, despite his "alpha" disguise. And his alpha disguise was just a large black hat, a black coat, and dark tinted sunglasses. Completely not suspicious at all.

The male sighed and facepalmed himself, realizing that this was most likely Hu Tao's doing.

"What's wrong?" You asked him, where he then quickly shook it off. "It's nothing, don't worry."
