Liu Man sprinted too fast, and the distance was too far. Li Xiaoru and Wang Nina couldn't clearly see Yu Zhan's face, but they could tell it was a tall man.

Wang Nina sighed in relief. As long as it wasn't Professor Qiu who was going to have dinner with her.

Li Xiaoru's mind was filled with gossip. She thought this man must be Liu Man's wooer. She felt glad that Liu Man had finally walked out of the shadows of her crush on Tang Tu, and was slowly accepting relationships with other men.

Yu Zhan, after considering Liu Man's artistic temperament, took her to a music-themed restaurant located downtown.

The environment of the restaurant was quite good. The entrance was covered in green plants as if the restaurant was located in a forest. The decorations inside were fresh and casual. The chairs and tables were all made of wood, and there were flowers in vases on every table. There were lights shaped like stars all over the ceiling. In the middle of the restaurant, there was a bar with a variety of wine and drinks. Located at the front of the restaurant was a stage. It was still early, and there wasn't anyone performing yet.

This place would definitely be the favorite for all who loved literature and art. Liu Man also liked the environment, for Yu Zhan saw the novelty and curiosity through her eyes.

"Have you ever come here before?" He asked.

Liu Man searched through her memories before replying, "No."

"I've came here a few times, and I felt that the food and the environment were pretty good," Yu Zhan said, then, as if thinking of something else, added on, "The last few times I came here were all by myself. This place is pretty much a tea restaurant or a café during the afternoons and a bar during the evenings."

Liu Man did see a couple of customers sitting in corners all by themselves, working with a laptop in front of them. This place was filled with petty bourgeoisie tastes.

The waitress led them to a spot that was pre-reserved by Yu Zhan. The view was perfect, for they could see the entire stage, but others wouldn't be able to see them because of the plants covering their surroundings.

The waitress placed two different menus in front of the duo, but Yu Zhan pushed them all towards Liu Man, "Order whatever you like to eat."

Liu Man, however, said, "I'm here to accompany you, so the food should be ordered by your taste."

"There's no need to be courteous between friends," Yu Zhan said as he looked directly into Liu Man's eyes, "Am I not your friend?"

"No, no. I do treat you as a friend," Liu Man immediately responded. However, when she thought about it, she felt as if she didn't really know Yu Zhan that well.

Yu Zhan, as if knowing what she was actually thinking about, laughed, "Friends need to get to know each other too. You will be familiar with me in the future. I'm not fastidious with food, but I am picky with drinks."

"Actually, I'm not that fussy about food either," Liu Man mumbled. Since Yu Zhan already said that much, she knew she had to be the one to order. The food on the pictures of the menu all looked palatable, so she chose a plate of fish, some beef, and a vegetable dish.

"You can order the drinks, I'm fine with tea," She pushed the menu back to Yu Zhan.

"You like to drink tea?"

"Not really, I just don't like sweet drinks. I pretty much don't like anything that's too sweet," When Liu Man lived in the cold palace, it was an issue just to have regular meals. How could she ever gain access to high-quality tea or sweet drinks?
