That afternoon, Dongfang Yu arrived promptly to pick up Hai Xiaotang from school and immediately noticed something was off with her.
"Let's eat out today. What do you feel like having?" He asked her, starting the car.
After thinking for a bit, Hai Xiaotang suggested, "Let's go to Baiweizhai."
She hadn't eaten there in a while and suddenly craved it.
Dongfang Yu was surprised.
He expected her, as usual, to say 'whatever'. But she didn't—instead, she stated her preference, which took Dongfang Yu pleasantly by surprise.
"Sure, to Baiweizhai!" Dongfang Yu laughed, saying that he'd take her to Baiweizhai, even if she wanted to eat swan meat.
Hai Xiaotang put on her headphones and started listening to a foreign song, humming along occasionally.
Dongfang Yu snuck glances at her a couple of times but resisted interrupting her.
He didn't want to break the current relaxing ambiance, even though they weren't conversing.
