Happiness! Such happiness! Elation!

The SUV slowly pulled up in front of an elegantly decorated, brightly lit restaurant.

This restaurant, named Warm Snow Pavilion, is a well-known private dining establishment in the Upper District of Belobog.

It is known for its exquisite cuisine and tranquil atmosphere.

The elegant name was chosen because it was influenced by the culture of the Xianzhou.

Although it was late at night, the restaurant was still lit with warm lights.

Lin Hai got off the bus first.

Behind him were Sparkle, the Herta, Bronya, Seele, Kafka, Cipher, Firefly, and Phantylia.

Eight stunningly beautiful women, each with their own unique charm, filed out, illuminating the cold night and drawing the attention of a few passersby who stared in disbelief.

The restaurant owner had already been notified and personally led all the waiters to wait at the door.

Upon seeing Lin Hai, the chubby middle-aged man blushed with excitement and practically ran to greet him, rubbing his hands together and speaking in a trembling voice.

"Mr. Lin. Lin! And ladies... madams! It's an honor to have you here! Please come in, please come in! The best private room has been reserved for you!"

As he led the way, he stammered excitedly, "This... this meal, I absolutely have to treat you! You and the ladies have done so much for Belobog, you must accept this small token of our appreciation!"

Lin Hai looked at the enthusiastic boss, smiled gently, and patted him on the shoulder:

"I appreciate the boss's kindness. But rules are rules. Belobog is rebuilding from scratch, and it's not easy for anyone. Whatever the price is, that's what we'll do."

His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

The boss wanted to persuade him further, but seeing Lin Hai's eyes, he immediately swallowed his words and simply bowed repeatedly.

The group was led to the deepest part of the restaurant, to an extremely spacious and private room.

The private room was elegantly decorated, featuring warm wood and soft lighting. Landscape paintings by Belobog hung on the walls, and faint lights could be seen through the window, pointing towards the castle.

A large round table, big enough to seat more than a dozen people, was already set with exquisite tableware.

When they sat down, it naturally stirred up a small ripple again.

Lin Hai sat in the main seat, Sparkle immediately snatched the seat next to him on his left, like a lively kitten, and affectionately hugged his arm.

Bronya sat gracefully to his right, displaying the demeanor of a hostess.

Seele sat down next to Bronya, while Kafka chose a spot diagonally opposite Lin Hai, offering a panoramic view, and leaned back in her chair.

The Herta then sat down next to Kafka.

Cipher and Firefly obediently sat down next to each other.

Phantylia then consciously sat in the seat closest to the door, his head bowed and eyes lowered.

The owner personally handed over the menu, but Lin Hai didn't even glance at it, saying directly, "Bring one of each of your signature dishes, and make sure the portions are generous. Also, open two bottles of your best fruit wine, warmed."

"Okay! Coming right away! Your satisfaction is guaranteed!"

The door to the private room closed, shutting out the noise from the outside world.

Under the warm lights, the dishes were quickly served one after another, filling the entire table.

The steaming stew was incredibly fragrant, the grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the seasonal vegetables were vibrant green, and there was also Belobog's signature black bread and thick soup, making it all very tempting.

Lin Hai poured himself a glass of warm fruit wine, but instead of picking up his chopsticks, he reached out and pulled Sparkle, who was sitting right next to him, into his arms, letting her lean against him.

Sparkle giggled, not resisting at all, but instead adjusting to a more comfortable position, like a cat that had found a warm stove.

"Are you hungry? Eat something first." Lin Hai lowered his head and gently pinched Sparkle's soft cheek with his fingertips.

Then, using chopsticks, he picked up a piece of snow-white fish meat, its bones removed, and brought it to her lips.

Sparkle swallowed it in one gulp. "The fish in this restaurant tastes really good."

As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks, grabbed the largest piece of stewed meat, and tried to feed it to Lin Hai, but almost dropped it on the table, causing everyone to chuckle.

Lin Hai smiled and accepted the gift, then glanced at the other women on the table who were also staring at him expectantly.

He smiled, picked up a piece of crisp asparagus with his chopsticks, and handed it to Bronya beside him.

Bronya blushed slightly, glanced at the others somewhat shyly, but still opened her mouth slightly, ate it, and whispered, "Thank you."

Then, Lin Hai picked up a perfectly grilled rib and handed it to Seele.

Seele's purple eyes lit up, and she happily accepted the gift. "Thank you, sir!"

He didn't show favoritism and even gave Kafka some of the mushrooms she seemed to have glanced at more than once.

I added an Equilibrium serving of vegetables to the quiet, the Herta.

She served Cipher and Firefly their favorite desserts, and even Phantylia, who was sitting in the distance, pointed to the dish in front of her that she hadn't touched yet with serving chopsticks, indicating that she should eat more.

Lin Hai's movements were natural and fluid, as if he were doing something completely ordinary.

However, this seemingly simple act of feeding warmed the hearts of every woman present.

This is not just about pampering them, but also a silent declaration and affirmation.

An even more touching moment of tacit understanding occurred in the next instant.

Just as Lin Hai put down the serving chopsticks and prepared to eat something himself, Bronya picked up the serving chopsticks, took a large piece of the most tender, boneless fish belly from her plate, and placed it on Lin Hai's plate.

Almost simultaneously, Seele picked up the roasted venison that she thought was the most delicious.

Kafka scooped a spoonful of delicious creamy mushroom soup and poured it into his soup bowl.

Sparkle shoved a meatball soaked in sauce into his mouth.

Cipher carefully arranged the vegetables for him.

Fireflies followed suit and placed a piece of pastry on top.

The Herta silently pushed a plate of nuts, which were said to replenish energy, to his side.

Phantylia, Huanlong quickly got up and filled his wine glass.

In an instant, seven or eight pairs of chopsticks and spoons reached out from different directions toward Lin Hai's plate, like stars surrounding the moon.

In the blink of an eye, the plate in front of him, which had been empty, was now piled high with a small but abundant mountain of food.

The meal features a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, a complete soup, and is garnished with dessert.

Lin Hai stared blankly at the small mountain that had sprung up in an instant, then chuckled and shook his head.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping across the table, taking in the beautiful faces, some smiling, some expectant, some shy, and a warm feeling welled up inside him.

These women, with their diverse personalities and backgrounds, at this moment, shared a common thread of harmony and understanding through the same person.

"Are you... trying to overeat me?"

Lin Hai chuckled and teased, his tone full of indulgence.

"You're so strong, you need to eat more to have the energy!" Sparkle said matter-of-factly.

"That's right! Sir, you should eat your fill!" Firefly nodded vigorously.

Bronya smiled gently, "You've been working so hard lately, you should definitely take some nourishment."

Kafka swirled her wine glass, her eyes sparkling. "You need to be full... to have the energy to do other things."

Her pointed remark made several shy women blush.

Even the Herta coughed lightly, his ears turning slightly red.

A burst of silvery laughter immediately filled the private room, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Lin Hai picked up his chopsticks and began to enjoy this feast filled with love.

He ate slowly, savoring each bite, nodding in praise from time to time, which brought satisfied smiles to the faces of the women who served him food.

At this moment, the waiter gently pushed open the window of the private room a crack, letting in some of the cool night breeze, which dissipated the heat of the food and brought in fresh outdoor air.

The night breeze brushed against my cheek, carrying a unique crispness and a hint of sweetness.

It is refreshing and invigorating.

Outside the window, the tranquil night view of Belobog unfolds, the castle's silhouette appearing exceptionally serene in the darkness.

Inside, warm lights illuminate delicious food, beautiful women surround the room, and laughter fills the air.

Lin Hai sat in the main seat, enjoying the women's attentiveness and admiration, and feeling the rare warmth and peace after the hustle and bustle.

At this moment, the struggles for power, strength, and the starry sea seem to have temporarily faded away.

All that remains is the simplest, most authentic human warmth and the comfort of those around us.

This late-night dinner felt unusually long and delicious.
