Chapter 625: Lanchi Feels Confident
Chapter 625: Lanchi Feels Confident
In the old cafe of the Ikeli Te North District, several cats queued up and walked past on the ground.
Juliana glanced at these cats dressed in red military uniforms, wondering why they seemed to be on patrol. Perhaps this was a unique feature of the Ikeli Te Cafe.
"Juliana, during these two weeks you've been in Ikeli Te, I've wanted to have dinner with you every day... Would you mind meeting with me like this every day?"
Loren's gentle voice reached her ears, causing Juliana to look up at him once more.
"Well..."
Juliana's heart raced with happiness.
But she was also a little scared.
While she thought about dating Loren, he seemed to be emphasizing just having meals together. Was he intentionally maintaining a sense of boundary?
[It's obvious that he likes you. If he didn't, why would he want to have meals with you every day?]
Love Assistant Miss's voice chimed in, as if sensing Juliana's anxious heartbeat and breath.
Really?
Juliana was completely puzzled.
[I would only want to have meals with someone every day if I really liked them. Think about it, if you had to eat with someone you disliked, even delicious food would lose its appeal. But when you eat with someone you like, your appetite improves accordingly.]
Juliana considered Love Assistant Miss's analysis and found it made sense.
[Just agree to have meals with him.]
...
The two of them, sitting on sofas by the low table, fell into a brief silence.
"I heard you've been busy with work lately... But if you have free time after work, I'd be happy to have meals with you every day."
Juliana spoke slowly, then immediately regretted her words.
She had wanted to say, "Of course, I'd be happy to see you every day."
But such words would make her face flush, and she found them hard to utter.
Searching for alternative phrases in her mind, she realized that "having meals," a term often used by Love Assistant Miss, had taken over her thoughts, leading to what she had just said!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the low table.
[You see? She wants to have meals with you.]
Love Instructor's voice sounded in Loren's ear.
Loren nodded slightly, feeling relieved.
He had almost crossed the line with his display of affection.
Although Juliana agreed to go out with him, it was on the premise of a normal friendship.
There was no doubt that Love Instructor, a master recommended by Professor Bolao, had made an accurate judgment.
Loren was convinced that unless there was significant interference or misguidance, Love Instructor would never misinterpret a girl's thoughts.
[Don't worry. This type of girl would find food less appealing if she had to eat with someone she disliked. But when she eats with someone she likes, her appetite improves. So, for now, she already considers you a close friend.]
Hearing Instructor's analysis, Loren felt the situation wasn't as bad as he thought.
But how should he get along with such a girl?
And according to Instructor... Why did it feel more like raising a pet than dating...?
[Feeding her every day will naturally bring you closer. As the saying goes, loving someone is like raising a pig. Don't you think it's gratifying to feed her until she's content and see the happy look on her face when she eats?
If there ever came a day when he could feed her to the point of plumpness, he would feel that his life was already quite fulfilled...”
Love Instructor's voice turned gentle as if recalling fond memories.
Listening intently, Loren made a mental note of the instructor's teachings, finding them to be quite reasonable.
He would follow the instructor's guidance to a tee.
At least so far, Juliana seemed quite pleased with their date.
...
Across the street from the cafe, in the spacious outdoor seating area of a restaurant, a man occupied a solitary space, his attention divided between his work and the scattered documents on the table before him. He wore a black newsboy cap and a casual work pant paired with a simple dark shirt, but this casual attire could not hide his innate handsome features.
By his side, a sleek black cat lounged leisurely on a chair, occasionally lifting its head to curiously observe the passing pedestrians, or stretching its body with elegance. Its eyes shimmered with curiosity, taking in the world around it.
Lanchi, deep in thought, occasionally muttered to himself while wearing a magic-guided earpiece, and gently stroked the cat's head.
It is common knowledge that the pinnacle of stalking is to make your target follow you instead.
Since Loren's itinerary was planned by Lanchi, he always arrived at the locations a step ahead, blending in as a bystander and going about his own business.
Currently, he sat outdoors, tending to his work while keeping a watchful eye on Loren's movements.
If the need arose, he might even alter his appearance and lend a helping hand to Loren directly.
"Meow, any updates?"
Cat Boss floated above Lanchi's head, its tiny head tilted in confusion as it met Lanchi's gaze.
It had been listening to the conversation between Lanchi and Loren, but dared not utter a sound.
"It's going well, but I can't shake this strange sense of deja vu I get from her..."
Lanchi covered his chin, his brows furrowed in thought as he stared at the wooden table.
Today's date was surprisingly straightforward.
And strangely, although she didn't seem like a normal person, he could always guess her thoughts, as if their brainwaves were in sync.
"Who are you talking about?"
Cat Boss inquired, leaning in closer.
"·That·woman·."
Lanchi dared not utter her name, instead writing those words down on a notepad.
"Are you seriously going to censor that?"
Cat Boss questioned, sounding skeptical.
"Are you talking about ·that·one?"
Cat Boss took the pen from Lanchi and wrote on the notepad using telekinetic magic.
"Yes."
Lanchi nodded.
Theoretically, it was impossible for someone to read another person's thoughts from a distance, but he had dreamed about Tata the night before. In his dream, Tata had read his thoughts, appearing like a ghost and pinning him to the ground as he screamed, "Don't kill me!" He hadn't had such a terrifying dream in a long time.
"Really, meow? How could Tata possibly know Miss Juliana of the Ayrolan Kingdom, and Miss Juliana has only recently arrived in the Kingdom of Horton?"
The little black cat jumped onto the table and looked at Lanchi inquisitively.
"Now that you mention it..."
Lanchi suddenly relaxed and laughed.
Upon further reflection, if Tata could teach people about love, he wouldn't have been single for hundreds of years.
As the saying goes, dreams are often the opposite of reality.
Now that they were in the Ikeli Te North District, far from both Cat Boss's restaurant and Ikeli Te Academy, there was little chance of running into Tata. Lanchi could finally chat freely without worry.
