This smile made Chen Shumi fall into a trance.
When she came to her senses, she was already being led by Xu Xiuwen to a seat by the window.
Xu Xiuwen walked behind a chair and pulled it out for her.
Chen Shumi felt flattered, but she did not forget to express her gratitude.
Xu Xiuwen smiled, and after the girl sat down, he walked over and sat down opposite her.
This western restaurant is also in a good location with a wide view overlooking the night view near Laojiekou.
The waitress handed over two menus.
Xu Xiuwen took the menu skillfully.
Chen Shumi also took the menu and imitated Xu Xiuwen, looking at the dishes on the menu.
Her English grades are not bad, and the menu of this restaurant is bilingual.
Therefore, ordering food is not difficult for girls.
She was not like the girls in some TV dramas who made a fool of themselves when they went to a Western restaurant for the first time.
But when she saw the prices on the menu.
Chen Shumi's breathing suddenly stopped.
So expensive
The girl was counting on her fingers in her mind, wondering if she had enough money.
At this time, Xu Xiuwen had already ordered the meal.
Seeing the girl's expression, Xu Xiuwen chuckled, then said calmly: "If you believe me, I can recommend it to you."
Chen Shumi glanced at him, then at the waitress next to him, and said hesitantly: "Brother Wen, the money I brought doesn't seem to be enough."
This sentence made Xu Xiuwen laugh.
The waitress next to her also wanted to laugh, but held it back.
Xu Xiuwen thought the girl would hold on, but he didn't expect her to confess to him so quickly.
Xu Xiuwen did not laugh at the girl for this.
He smiled and said, "I asked to come to the restaurant, so let me treat you tonight."
The girl was anxious when she heard this, "But it was agreed that I would treat you."
"It's my treat today, you can treat me next time."
"But… "
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Do you really need me to be more straightforward? Let me treat you today, and you treat me next time. This way I will have a chance to ask you out."
Chen Shumi was stunned when she heard this, and was deeply moved.
Xu Xiuwen's words not only saved her face in front of outsiders, but also showed their love in an invisible way.
The waitress at the side really interjected at the right time: "Ma'am, your boyfriend is so nice to you."
"Oh well."
Xu Xiuwen smiled and said to the waiter: "Order her a..."
There was a pause.
"Drink some red wine~"
When Chen Shumi heard that she had to drink, her heart beat faster immediately, but she did not refuse. Instead, she nodded gently.
Xu Xiuwen ordered some red wine.
After the waiter left, Chen Shumi couldn't help but say, "Brother Wen, you are so good to me, I'm afraid I can't leave you."
Xu Xiuwen smiled, "Are you still planning to leave me? Don't forget, we have three rules. Only I can end our relationship, not you."
After hearing this, Chen Shumi felt both sweet and shy.
After the meal was served, Chen Shumi looked at the knife and fork in front of her, not knowing how to use them.
Xu Xiuwen smiled, and then patiently explained and demonstrated to her how to use the tableware here.
Chen Shumi also studied seriously.
After the demonstration, Xu Xiuwen quickly cut the steak on the plate in front of him into pieces of suitable size, and then took the initiative to exchange plates with the girl.
Chen Shumi was stunned when she saw this.
She looked up at Xu Xiuwen, her eyes full of confusion.
Xu Xiuwen smiled and explained: "This is a special service only available on the first date. Don't be touched~ because it won't be available next time..."
Having said that, Chen Shumi was still deeply moved.
It was Chen Shumi’s first time to come to a western restaurant, especially one of this type that looked quite high-end.
Everything here is strange to her, but also fresh.
She followed Xu Xiuwen's example, picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
The sweet and delicious red wine instantly conquered her taste buds.
She couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
Xu Xiuwen smiled and reminded: "Don't drink too much, be careful not to get drunk~"
Chen Shumi chuckled and immediately put down her wine glass.
During the meal, the two chatted about their recent lives.
It was mainly Xu Xiuwen who asked the questions and the girls who answered.
Listening to the girl talking about trivial matters at school, Xu Xiuwen did not find it boring. Instead, it brought back some memories.
Chen Shumi realized it later and apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Wen, I said too much..."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head: "No need to apologize, I like to hear you say..."
Hearing these words, the girl felt as if she was getting drunk and a little dizzy.
After the meal, Xu Xiuwen went to pay the bill.
This Western meal tonight cost more than a thousand yuan.
Chen Shumi was shocked when she heard the price.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
"Okay, let's go."
Xu Xiuwen pretended not to see it.
Like a gentle older brother, he took the girl's hand and walked out of the store.
When they got outside the store, Chen Shumi couldn't help but say, "Brother Wen, it was clearly agreed that I would treat you, but now it seems like I am deliberately taking advantage of you..."
Xu Xiuwen asked calmly: "Are you taking advantage of me on purpose?"
Chen Shumi shook her head: "No."
"I don't think so either, so don't think too much about it. Just invite him back next time."
"But I..."
She wanted to say, even if I treat you, I can only treat you to some cheap food, I can't afford to invite you to eat here.
Xu Xiuwen saw what the girl was thinking and said, "There's no need to calculate too much between lovers. Whether you treat me to a big meal or a snack at a roadside food stall, it's the same to me. What's important is that you accompany me."
After hearing these words, the girl was completely conquered.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Xiuwen was so sticky.
Xu Xiuwen had seen this kind of look in Xiao Youran's eyes before.
At this moment, he could be sure that the girl really liked him.
Xu Xiuwen asked: "Where to go next?"
Chen Shumi was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know... I'll listen to you..."
"Let's go to the movies." Xu Xiuwen's tone was calm, but it was irresistible.
Chen Shumi nodded.
So Xu Xiuwen took the girl to a nearby cinema.
After the two talked, they bought two tickets for a youth-themed movie.
After a short wait, we lined up to enter the theater.
The ticket he bought was for the back row, not because Xu Xiuwen had any particular purpose, but because he simply liked to watch movies from a high seat.
"Brother Wen, eat something."
The girl took a popcorn from the bucket in her arms and handed it to Xu Xiuwen's mouth.
Xu Xiuwen opened his mouth and ate the popcorn.
