The last employee at the milk tea shop, looking quite troubled, stepped in to interrupt: "Ahem, excuse me, two guests, there are other customers waiting. Shall we take your order first?"
Lu Youyou's face turned red, but she obediently placed her order and even asked Xu Lie what he wanted to drink. He ordered a cup of black tea.
Once they received their drinks, Lu Youyou dashed out as if she were fleeing from danger, her legs moving quickly as she hurried away.
After they had walked a distance, Lu Youyou finally spoke up to shift the blame. "It's all your fault! People are definitely misunderstanding us!" She punctuated her words with a light punch using her empty left hand.
Xu Lie wasn't about to let her have the last word; he leaned forward to dodge and quickened his pace. "Don't run away!" Lu Youyou shouted in frustration as she chased after him.
The audience was engrossed in the scene when the camera abruptly shifted to show Gene Cold Storage. In the next moment, flames flickered ominously.
A deadly blaze erupted, carrying an unparalleled shockwave that spread wildly in all directions. The temperature-controlled shelves were blown apart, and test tubes containing the blood of several Xin Er were knocked over, shattering into pieces.
Flashes of fire erupted one after another as explosions ravaged the interior of Gene Cold Storage, tearing off the roof, collapsing walls, and scorching the floor tiles.
Light and heat became the only fleeting themes in that space, soon followed by a chaotic cloud of dust and thick black smoke rising into the air.
People nearby could see the towering black smoke.
【What? Did it just explode?! Nan Er hasn't even arrived yet and the cold storage has blown up?!】
【Remote detonation isn't a big deal, but how did Xu Lie manage to plant explosives without alerting the police? Ancheng Cold Storage's Heavenly Net should have caught something!】
【Forget about monitoring; even after dozens of internal inspections, they didn't detect any bombs. They can't figure out how the explosives got in there!】
【I told you! That's why Xu Lie seemed so relaxed while dating Lu Youyou; everything was already set up!】
When the camera returned, Lu Youyou had taken Xu Lie to a restaurant to order food. "Let me tell you, this dish is their signature dish. I always order it whenever I come here; you have to try it later!"
Xu Lie snapped back to reality from his thoughts about Danmaku upon hearing Lu Youyou's words. He had been keeping an eye on Danmaku today to stay updated on the situation.
Lu Youyou was a bit naive; she wasn't blind and noticed Xu Lie's momentary distraction. "Is your attention not on the menu? Do you not like this restaurant's decor? We can go somewhere else; I know another place with great food."
Xu Lie smiled and shook his head slightly, indicating that it wasn't necessary to change plans. He could tell that Lu Youyou was looking forward to this meal; she must really enjoy the food here. "I just haven't eaten with anyone for a long time."
That wasn't a lie; even considering his past life, Xu Lie had been eating alone while working.
Lu Youyou couldn't help but be taken aback. Xu Lie's casual remark carried such a bitter loneliness within it.
In her family of four, mealtime was always lively and bustling, but what about Xu Lie? He had to eat alone every day, without any family to keep him company.
Just imagining such a desolate scene sent shivers down her spine. Without his parents, and with his sister gone, it was just Lu Youyou sitting at the large dining table all by herself.
Could that even be called eating? It felt more like merely consuming food to sustain life.
Moved by her emotions, Lu Youyou impulsively reassured him, "No, it's okay! I can keep you company for meals from now on!"
