The rainy weather lingered in Nancheng for a week before finally clearing up. The sunset glow after the rain was soft and gentle, and as dusk fell, the evening breeze gradually carried away the midsummer heat, bringing a feeling of comfort and tranquility.
Cen Jin arrived as promised at the theme restaurant where she and Lu Shishu often visited. Because she came often, the restaurant staff already recognized her. Upon seeing her, they smiled and nodded in greeting, "Miss Nie, you've arrived. Miss Lu is already here, waiting for you by the window in the loft."
Cen Jin smiled gently and nodded, saying 'thank you' before heading straight upstairs.
This theme restaurant had been open in Nancheng for some years now, and its style was rather retro. Ever since she and Lu Shishu got acquainted so many years ago, they would generally choose to dine here, a tradition that hadn't changed.
