As night fell, the starry sky intertwined with the city lights, creating a captivating scene. Jiang NanJin and Bai Huaiyu stepped out of the publishing house building, ready to temporarily set aside their work worries and enjoy a romantic dinner that belonged solely to the two of them. 0
 
Jiang NanJin slightly turned to Bai Huaiyu and said, "Tonight, let's not talk about work or comics; let's just enjoy this leisure time. I know a great restaurant with a stunning view and an atmosphere perfect for us." As he spoke, his eyes sparkled with excitement. 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu was a bit taken aback by his sudden proposal, but soon an excited smile appeared on her face. "That sounds amazing! I can't wait to check it out." 0
 
As the taxi wove through the bustling city night, the neon lights and crowded streets gradually faded behind them. Finally, the car stopped in front of a towering skyscraper, where the highly anticipated restaurant mentioned by Jiang NanJin was hidden. As the elevator slowly ascended, the sound of the wind seemed to herald an extraordinary experience. 0
 
 
As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, soft and soothing jazz music enveloped her ears, while warm yet elegant lighting created a relaxing atmosphere. Bai Huaiyu's gaze was drawn to a window seat with an excellent view, and in that moment, her spirits seemed to soar. 0
 
As she approached the window, her eyes caught the dreamlike cityscape outside. The dazzling lights resembled reflections of a distant galaxy, filling her with longing. She couldn't help but softly exclaim in wonder, her expression so innocent and excited, as if she had forgotten all her worries at that moment. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin gazed at the joy radiating from her, a gentle smile unconsciously forming at the corners of his mouth. His voice was deep and magnetic, tinged with a hint of pride: "So, what do you think? This place is pretty nice, right?" 0
 
Bai Huaiyu turned around, her bright eyes filled with curiosity and gratitude for the world. Her voice carried a touch of excitement: "It's so beautiful; it completely exceeds my imagination. Looking down at the city from this height gives me an indescribable sense of peace and exhilaration. Thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place." 0
 
 
Facing her gratitude, Jiang NanJin smiled lightly, reached out and gently held her hand, his eyes focused: "Since you like it, tonight, let's put aside all work and worries, and enjoy this tranquility and beauty. Otherwise, I'm worried that your little brain might not be able to handle the pressure." 0
 
As the waiter delicately unfolded the menu in front of them, both of their gazes were involuntarily drawn to the exquisite names of the dishes. The restaurant's menu was full of tempting choices, from appetizers like seafood platters, to sumptuous main courses like grilled lamb chops, and sweet endings like creamy pudding, each dish seemed to be tempting their taste buds. 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu shifted her gaze from the menu to Jiang NanJin, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Do you have any recommendations? The dishes here all look so delicious." 0
 
Jiang NanJin glanced at the menu and then looked at her with a half-smile. "Since it's so hard to choose, why don't we pick some dishes we each like and then share them?" 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but gently clap his hands. "Good idea! This way, we can taste more different flavors." 0
 
After some discussion, they chose a few dishes that both were interested in. The waiter smiled as he took the menu, leaving the two of them immersed in the anticipation of the upcoming meal. As they waited for the dishes to be served, the atmosphere became even more relaxed and enjoyable. The tableware sparkled under the dim light, adding a touch of ceremony to their wait. 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu couldn't help but lean closer to the window, her eyes fixed on the night view outside. She turned her head, excitement sparkling in her eyes, as if she had found a kindred spirit. She happily said to Jiang NanJin, "Do you know? I've been following a movie recently, 'Interstellar.' The story about time and space is just so captivating, especially the scenes about the universe that completely immerse me." 0
 
Her gestures were animated, as if she were trying to convey the indescribable mysteries of the universe to Jiang NanJin through body language. Jiang NanJin smiled slightly, seemingly touched by her enthusiasm, but with a playful tone he responded, "That sounds great. However, I'm more curious—if you were to travel to such a universe, would you get lost?" 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. She playfully nudged Jiang NanJin and said, "Are you making fun of me? But to be honest, I really might get lost." Her smile carried a hint of self-deprecation, yet it was undeniably charming. 0
 
The atmosphere became even more harmonious with such lighthearted conversation. Jiang NanJin was not to be outdone; he shared a funny incident he had encountered recently about a cat he observed on the street, cleverly squeezing itself out of a narrow gap. His narration was humorous and vivid, with every detail brought to life. 0
 
 
"Don't you think that sometimes the world of animals is even more fascinating than ours?" Jiang NanJin said, mimicking a cat squeezing into a tight space, which made Bai Huaiyu burst into laughter. 0
 
In such conversations, they seemed to forget the passage of time until the meal was served, bringing their attention back to the food. Jiang NanJin gently raised his glass and smiled at Bai Huaiyu, saying, "Let's consider this meal a celebration of our collaboration." 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu also raised his glass, his eyes shining with light. "Yes, our cooperation will only get better and better." 0
 
As the sound of their glasses gently clinking echoed, the relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the night reached its peak at that moment. Their feelings for each other deepened in such a time, filling the entire evening with warmth and laughter. 0
 
 
The first dish—a vibrant seafood platter—was solemnly placed on the table. Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin's gazes fell in unison on the exquisite seafood, as if they were captivated by its unparalleled deliciousness. Bai Huaiyu couldn't help but softly exclaim, "It looks really delicious!" 0
 
Jiang NanJin smiled slightly, picked up the silver cutlery, and elegantly offered a tender raw oyster to Bai Huaiyu, saying with a hint of mischief, "Here, try this. I guarantee it will be unforgettable." 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, but under Jiang NanJin's encouraging gaze, she gently opened her mouth and cautiously took a bite. The delicious taste of the seafood exploded in her mouth, causing her eyes to light up as she exclaimed, "Wow, this is really delicious!" 0
 
Seeing Bai Huaiyu enjoy it so much, the smile on Jiang NanJin's face deepened. He also began to savor the food in front of him, tasting each bite carefully, as if searching for a spark of inspiration within this delightful dish. 0
 
 
One exquisite dish after another was served, from the aromatic roasted lamb chops to the colorful vegetable salad, and finally to the sweet yet not overly rich tiramisu. They savored each dish, enjoying the joy that this culinary experience brought. 0
 
During this delightful process, Bai Huaiyu gradually relaxed. She chuckled softly and said, "Jiang NanJin, every place you recommend is amazing; you really are incredible!" 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin lazily leaned back in his chair, revealing a hint of a smug smile. "Of course, my taste has always been top-notch." Despite his words, his eyes inadvertently showed concern and tenderness towards Bai Huaiyu. 0
 
They exchanged thoughts in a relaxed atmosphere, discussing everything from gourmet food to the little details of life, with each topic bringing them closer to understanding one another. This dinner was not only a feast for the taste buds but also an important moment for emotional exchange between them, deepening their relationship during this long night. 0
 
 
As dinner came to an end, Jiang NanJin and Bai Huaiyu left the restaurant. They strolled slowly in the night breeze, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the moment. Jiang NanJin suddenly stopped, looking at Bai Huaiyu with a serious expression. "I'm really happy tonight. With you by my side, everything feels different." 0
 
Hearing this, Bai Huaiyu felt warmth in her heart. She softly replied, "Me too. With you around, everything seems to have meaning." 0
 
 
The two of them exchanged a smile, and their emotions reached a new height in this moment. This dinner was not just a banquet, but also a confirmation of their feelings and another beautiful memory they shared together. 0
