Since the shop was not too crowded now, they handed the waiter the menu after placing their order. Before they knew it, they brought out the pasta and all the other foods.

Vivian noticed Aaron kept glancing outside. She was curious, and she could not help but ask, 'What are you looking at?'

Aaron shifted his gaze back and awkwardly chuckled. “Oh, nothing. I'm just curious about the surroundings here. It's a university town. No wonder it's nice and safe. It's not as chaotic as overseas."

He casually made it up, not wanting to admit that he was keeping an eye out for Gordan, that troublemaker.

"Yes, it's pretty safe. Plus, all the universities here have security measures, so once it hits curfew, it gets real quiet. Since it's surrounded by universities, there are many people around as long as it's before curfew, and they're all students.

"There aren't any of those complicated people from the outside world. That's why it's safe here," explained Vivian. She thought he was checking up on her life here on Ray's orders.

Therefore, she went into detail, trying to assure Ray not to worry about her.

"Ms. Vivian, do you enjoy your life here?" asked Aaron. The steam from the hot food veiled Vivian's face, but he could still see the smile on her face.

"I do. I'm really grateful I chose to study here in A City. You wouldn't believe how interesting the courses are at the universities here, and my classmates are kind. I might be on the older side for a foreign student, but they don't treat me any different.

"In fact, they enjoy chatting with me. Most of my classmates are foreigners since I started in the language program, but I also joined some clubs, so I have many friends in A City too." Vivian shared her joy about her life abroad.

"Sounds great." Aaron stared at Vivian's smile and joined in the laughter. As long as the young lady was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Come on, let's dig in. The food won't taste good if they get cold," replied Vivian as she served him some veggies.

Food like this was common in A City but not so much in Russia.

Aaron was pleasantly surprised by her gesture.
