Chapter 547: 349 Today the evil wind blows, bringing demons and monsters (3 more updates)

Shen Shuci’s colleague had recommended an internet-famous restaurant that required advance reservations; she had checked out the restaurant’s photos and reviews online—all seemed fine. She had made the reservation and, right after work, the Huo Family car had already been waiting at the usual spot. But upon arriving at the restaurant…

She was somewhat stunned!

The restaurant looked completely different from the photos—there were various rose balloons, heart patterns, and melodious violin music filling the air with romance and warmth. Each table had candle bouquets, and even the napkins on the plates were folded into something resembling a heart shape.

The online pictures had shown a regular, proper restaurant.

But at the venue…

One would think it was a place exclusively for couples.

The whole scene was filled with pink bubbles.

Shen Shuci’s face spelled “awkward” in capital letters.

“Welcome, do you have a reservation?”

Seeing what the restaurant was like, Shen Shuci was hesitant to stay, but someone responded faster, “Yes.”

“Last four digits of the phone number?”

“8055.” Shen Shuci hadn’t expected that he would effortlessly recite the last four digits of her phone number. The waiter then led them in, poured two glasses of lemon water, “You can start by looking at the menu.”

“Thank you.” Shen Shuci browsed the menu while her gaze still scanned the surroundings—it seemed like the place was decorated for Valentine’s Day and never reverted.

All the way, she couldn’t find a topic to talk about and kept insisting that the restaurant was delicious and that she had specifically chosen it, but…

How could it turn out like this.

“Both of you could try our couple’s set meal written at the end of the menu—it’s particularly good value and comes with a complimentary bottle of red wine.”

Shen Shuci grew even more embarrassed…

The waiter was too enthusiastic, overpowering Shen Shuci who gave a wry smile, “We are just ordinary friends, not a couple.”

“It’s fine for friends too. Many best friends come here and order the couple’s set because it is worth it, and there’s no rule saying that a couple’s set must be eaten by a couple, right?”

“Well… Mr. Huo, what do you think?” Shen Shuci was immensely frustrated.

“I’m okay with anything.”

“Miss, the couple’s set meal is really a great deal.” The restaurant had its daily specials, and they often prepared more portions for these dishes, so the waiter naturally promoted them. In the end, Shen Shuci had no choice but to nod in agreement…

The two of them found themselves inexplicably seated in such an environment, ordering a couple’s set meal. When she saw that even the fried eggs were heart-shaped, she almost lost it. Glancing at the person opposite her, he had neatly cut his steak and pushed it toward her without a word.

“Thank you.” Shen Shuci was extremely embarrassed.
