The restaurant that Nan Chen mentioned was still operating.

It was an old estate with calligraphy on its walls, denoting the beauty of blooming flowers and nature.

The restaurant was once a cultured person's home. It was quite a waste to transform the property into a restaurant.

“Once upon a time, a scholar lived here with his wife. After she passed away, he fell into depression and died not long after. Since there were rumors about the house being haunted, no one dared to live in it. In the end, someone bought it at a low price and changed it into a restaurant. The only odd thing is they always use candles because they never install electric lights at the restaurant.” Nan Chen introduced the place to Ning Ran.

It instantly piqued her. “Does it work? Do they have customers when people know it is haunted?”

“Yes, they have. People who are not superstitious come to visit and, in turn, they realize the food is actually good. As the word goes around, their business gets better every day.”

“You know what? It's actually a normal thing for people to die in their houses. We shouldn't be afraid of it. Let's go in,” Ning Ran said.

They entered the wide stone-paved courtyard, which looked ancient.

“This way, please.”

The waiters and waitresses were wearing traditional costumes. Ning Ran instantly felt like she was filming on a set.

They were led to a table by the window after climbing a wooden staircase to the second floor.

The weather was still freezing in Flower City, but Lightspring had already gotten warmer. It didn't feel chilly even at night.

“You are not from around here, are you? We don't have a heater here. If you're cold, we can light up a fire for you,” the waiter said.

“Are you cold?” Nan Chen asked Ning Ran.

“A little.”

“Can we have the fire, please?” Nan Chen asked politely.

The waiter brought a small furnace and placed it next to Ning Ran's feet. Soon enough, the whole place was a lot warmer.

Ning Ran liked the dining environment, which she hadn't tried before.

“How do you know such an amazing place?” she asked.

“Do you like it?”

“Yes.”

Her face was beautiful beyond comparison under the candlelight. Nan Chen couldn't take his eyes off her when she was smiling.

“I'm glad you like it here. Let's order food.”

“I don't know what is nice. You should order since you've been here before. You can decide for me.”
