She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she got up immediately, took a shower, washed her face, changed her clothes, put on makeup, then hurried out, putting on lipstick at the same time.

Although she rushed to the restaurant as quickly as possible, she was still half an hour late.

She was very embarrassed. Looking at Xu Zhi who was sitting next to her, she said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I overslept..."

Shi Yi originally wanted to say that she was stuck in traffic or had something urgent to do, and didn't want Xu Zhi to know that she slept in, but in the end she felt that honesty was the most important thing, so she told the truth.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "You came at the right time. The ingredients still need to be processed. The bluefin tuna that just arrived this morning and the freshest sea urchin were processed by the chef at noon. They should be ready now."

Shi Yi loves sea urchin sushi the most, especially the sweet aftertaste of sea urchin. However, if it is not a coastal city, the freshness of the sea urchin cannot be guaranteed. This is why Shi Yi rarely eats high-quality sea urchin sushi in the mainland.

Hearing Xu Zhi say that the sea urchins had just arrived in the morning, Shi Yi looked at the chef who was preparing the ingredients with sparkling eyes.

This Japanese restaurant is decorated in Japanese style, with a bar surrounding the kitchen, where the chef prepares each dish under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Shi Yi felt that the knife in the chef's hand was like a pair of scissors for cutting cloth. Every movement was extremely smooth, cutting the most delicate clothes.

Seeing Shi Yi so fascinated, Xu Zhi also told her the origin of this restaurant, "The chef of this restaurant has run a restaurant in Japan for 30 years. When he was almost 50 years old, he met the person he loved. That person was Chinese, so he chased her all the way to China. Later, he successfully married the person he loved, but he couldn't bear to let her leave her hometown to go to Japan, so he decided to settle here and opened this Japanese restaurant."

After listening to Xu Zhi's words, the chef gave Xu Zhi a thumbs up and said something in Japanese, and Xu Zhi also responded in Japanese.

Shi Yi had no idea what they were saying. The only thing she could think of was that this chef had been doing this for thirty years!

In Japan, only people with excellent cooking skills can run a restaurant for a long time. A chef who has been running a restaurant for 30 years must be a very good cook!

This time, Shi Yi was even more excited about the next dish and couldn't wait to try it.

The ingredients that were just delivered in the morning are processed immediately, so they are indeed very fresh.

Shi Yi felt that one serving of sea urchin sushi was not enough, so she ordered another one.

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

The two were very easy-going. When they ordered, they saw a casual set menu with a total of twenty dishes. The chef would decide what to serve. The two looked at each other, saw the expectation in each other's eyes, and immediately ordered the set menu.

After they had tasted all the dishes, Shi Yi wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth with a tissue and asked Xu Zhi, "What did you say to the chef in Japanese just now? I saw he gave her a thumbs up."

Xu Zhi showed a hint of shyness, pursed his lips, and thought for a long time before speaking, "The chef said you are very beautiful."

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

The chef thought Xu Zhi was saying exactly what he had said to Shi Yi, so he bowed to Shi Yi and said in broken Chinese, "I wish you a long and happy life together."

Shi Yi's face flushed red. She looked at the chef helplessly, then at Xu Zhi, then lowered her head and stopped talking. Instead, she rummaged through her bag, as if looking for something.

Xu Zhi scratched his head awkwardly, then left with Shi Yi with a red face.

On the way to the mall, Xu Zhi also explained to Shi Yi, "The chef may not understand the meaning of this sentence. He only knows Chinese, so he said this. Don't take it to heart."

Shi Yi was a little shy at first, but after hearing his explanation, she felt a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "It's nothing, I didn't take it seriously."

This made Xu Zhi feel a little empty.

In fact, what the chef said to him at the time was: "Is this the girl you were talking about? She is very beautiful, and you two are a perfect match."

When Xu Zhi was chatting with the chef, he learned about the chef's story and told him that he would bring a friend over the next day. The chef immediately asked, "Is she the girl you like? Or has she become your girlfriend?"

Xu Zhi said vaguely: "Not yet, but I plan to confess to her tomorrow."

During the ambiguous period, men and women will always test each other. During this period, there will be happiness and loss.

The two walked around the mall and talked about some interesting things that happened recently, but did not mention work.

Xu Zhi thought Shi Yi must be a little tired, so he suggested: "Let's go to the jewelry store downstairs. I promised to give you a gift." Jewelry? If the gift is jewelry, it would be too ambiguous. Shi Yi felt a little embarrassed, but she probably guessed what he was going to do next. She nodded and followed him downstairs with some anticipation.

The two of them entered a fashion luxury goods counter, looked for a long time, and chose a necklace. Then Xu Zhi asked the waiter to bring the necklace out.

Shi Yi lifted her long hair in front of the mirror and motioned Xu Zhi to comb it for her.

Xu Zhi took the necklace from the clerk and put it on Shi Yi herself. When she was clipping the necklace, her little finger accidentally brushed the back of Shi Yi's neck. Both of them trembled and their hearts were pounding.

Xu Zhi didn't do anything else. He quietly withdrew his hand and looked at the charming Shi Yi in the mirror.

It was a plain silver necklace with a pendant in the shape of a magician's scepter and a sky blue crystal inlaid on the top of the scepter.

This necklace hung on Shi Yi's fair and clean neck, as if all the colors of the sky were absorbed into the scepter, condensed into tiny crystals dotted around her neck, looking cute and elegant.

Xu Zhi stared at Shi Yi blankly, while Shi Yi was admiring the necklace in the mirror. At the same time, she couldn't help but look at Xu Zhi's expression.

Xu Zhi came back to his senses and asked Shi Yi: "Do you like it?"

Shi Yi smiled and asked, "What do you like?"

Xu Zhi was also a little excited at this time, and subconsciously wanted to ask: "Do you like me?"

But before he could say anything, his cell phone rang.

He took out his cell phone awkwardly and looked at the name on the screen. It was Jiang Chen calling.

In terms of relationship, Jiang Chen is Xu Zhi's cousin.

Their relationship is somewhat complicated. Jiang Chen and Xu Zhi can only be considered distant cousins. The two only met at the wedding and left their contact information, but the number of times they contacted each other was very few.

This was probably the third time the two had contacted each other.

Xu Zhi didn't know why Jiang Chen suddenly called him, but he didn't dare to delay, so he said to Shi Yi: "Wait for me, I'll take a call."

Then he took a few steps toward the store entrance before answering the phone. "Cousin."

"Okay." Jiang Chen's voice was very cold, and his tone was exactly the same as the previous two calls. "Are you available to answer the phone now?" Xu Zhi said honestly, "I'm in the mall now, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Chen said, "There will be a dance party the day after tomorrow night. You can attend it on behalf of the Jiang family and the Xu family."

Xu Zhi didn't react for a moment. What day was the day after tomorrow? No one from either family could attend the dance.

But he still agreed, "Okay cousin, send me the location and time, and I will be there on time the day after tomorrow."

Xu Zhi thought the topic ended here, but he didn't expect Jiang Chen to say: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Shi Yi, the third lady of the Shi family."

Xu Zhi suddenly felt something was off in his mind. The Shi family...
