Shi Yi felt that a portion of sea urchin sushi wasn’t enough, so she ordered another portion.

Seeing Shi Yi eating with relish, Xu Zhi felt very satisfied.

The two of them were very easygoing, so when they ordered, they saw a random set meal. There were a total of 20 dishes, and the chef would decide what to serve. When the two of them looked at each other and saw the anticipation in each other’s eyes, they immediately decided on this set meal.

After the two of them finished tasting all the random dishes, Shi Yi wiped the grease off her lips with a tissue in satisfaction and asked Xu Zhi, who was sitting beside her, “What did you say to the chef in Japanese just now? 1 saw that he even give you a thumbs up.”

Xu Zhi revealed a bashful look and pursed his lips. He thought about it many times before saying, “The chef said that you’re very beautiful.”

“Really?!” Shi Yi was very surprised and asked Xu Zhi to teach her how to thank the chef in Japanese.

Thinking that Xu Zhi had said his original words to Shi Yi, the chef even bowed to Shi Yi as he said in broken Chinese, “I wish the two of you stay together for a long time.”

Shi Yi’s face flushed as she looked at the chef helplessly and then at Xu Zhi. Then, she lowered her head and didn’t speak anymore. Instead, she rummaged through her bag, as if looking for something.

Xu Zhi scratched her head awkwardly and left with Shi Yi with a blush on his face.

On the way to the mall, Xu Zhi even explained to Shi Yi, “The chef might not understand the meaning of this sentence and only knows this sentence in Chinese, so he said this. Don’t take it to heart.”

Shi Yi was originally very bashful, but after hearing his explanation, she was a little disappointed. However, she still smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I didn’t take it seriously.”

This made Xu Zhi feel a little empty inside.

Actually, what the chef had said to him at that time was, “Is this the girl you were talking about? She’s very beautiful. The two of you are very compatible.” When Xu Zhi found out about the chef’s story when he was chatting with the chef, he told the chef that he would bring a friend over the next day. The chef immediately asked, “Is she the girl you like? Or has she already become your girlfriend?”

Xu Zhi said vaguely, “Not yet, but 1 plan to confess to her tomorrow.”

During the ambiguous period, men and women would always test each other. During this period, they would experience joy and loss.

The two of them strolled around the mall and chatted about interesting things that had happened recently, but they didn’t mention anything about work.

Xu Zhi felt that Shi Yi must be a little tired, so she suggested, “Let’s go to the jewelry shop downstairs and take a look. 1 promised to give you a gift.” Jewelry? If the gift was jewelry, that would be too ambiguous. Shi Yi felt a little bashful, but she could roughly guess what he was going to do next. She was looking forward to it, so she nodded and followed him downstairs.

The two of them entered a fashion and luxury goods counter and chose a necklace after a long time. Then, Xu Zhi asked the attendant to take out the necklace.

Shi Yi lifted her long hair in front of the mirror and gestured for Xu Zhi to put it on for her.

Xu Zhi took the necklace from the shop assistant and personally put it on Shi Yi’s neck. When he clipped the necklace, her pinky accidentally brushed across the back of Shi Yi’s neck. Both of them trembled and their hearts fluttered.

Xu Zhi didn’t do anything else. He retracted his hand silently and stared at the charming Shi Yi in the mirror.

It was a simple silver necklace. The pendant on the necklace was in the shape of a mage’s scepter, and there was a sky-blue crystal stone embedded at the top of the scepter.

This necklace hung on Shi Yi’s fair and clean neck, as if it had absorbed all the color of the sky into this scepter and condensed it into a small crystal to decorate her neck. It was cute and elegant.

Xu Zhi stared at Shi Yi in a daze, while Shi Yi admired the necklace in the mirror. At the same time, she couldn’t help but look at Xu Zhi’s expression.

After Xu Zhi came back to his senses, he asked Shi Yi, “Do you like it?”
