Not a Date, Really!

"Hiss~"

Clearly, no matter how tough a man was, his kidneys were still fragile.

Even a man who could reach the Heavenly Dao in a year still had his kidneys as his weak point.

When that weak point took such a heavy blow, even a tough-as-nails man like Dong Moxuan could not help sucking in a sharp breath.

"What did you suddenly do that for?!"

"Hmph!"

Hearing Dong Moxuan's complaint, Kiana merely crossed her arms and let out a cold snort.

Watching the interaction between Dong Moxuan and Kiana, the little maid revealed a kind smile.

She did not find Dong Moxuan's somewhat rude intentions earlier offensive.

After all, she had seen that kind of gaze countless times and was already used to it.

More importantly, Dong Moxuan really was extremely handsome. Even if his gaze was a little too bold, it still would not make people dislike him.

"Are the two masters lovers?"

She looked at the young man and girl before her, gently clasped her hands, and revealed a curious look in her eyes.

"Who's lovers with this guy?! x2"

Hearing the maid's question, Dong Moxuan and Kiana answered at the same time without thinking.

However, the inexplicable rapport between Dong Moxuan and Kiana made the Chestnut-haired Maid's eyes grow even more suggestive. She curled her lips slightly and said to the two of them, "All right, dear masters. Please come this way with me."

Dong Moxuan: "..."

Kiana: "..."

Looking at the maid's clearly mistaken expression, both of them showed troubled looks in their eyes.

However, they were both the sort who hated trouble, so neither of them bothered to explain.

After sitting down at the spot the maid led them to, Dong Moxuan opened the menu on the table.

Much to Dong Moxuan's surprise, all the dishes on the menu were plain and unpretentious. At most, they had labels like "Maid Special." There were no chuunibyou-esque, flashy names like Super God Water or XX Magic Potion.

"So those webnovels really were all lies..."

Muttering this softly, Dong Moxuan lowered his head and handed the menu to Kiana.

Dong Moxuan was not picky about food. Apart from the things in Lao Ba's Cookbook, he could eat pretty much anything.

"Hey~ I thought this place was just meant to fleece otakus, but I didn't expect both the dishes and the prices to be pretty good..."

Taking the menu from Dong Moxuan, Kiana flipped through it while making a remark laden with discrimination.

Dong Moxuan: "..."

Fine. As long as you're happy, Kiana.

"Hmm~ I'll have two omurice, two bottles of Sister Juice, and finally..."

Looking at the menu in her hands, Kiana furrowed her brows slightly.

"How much is this 'Special Super Rainbow Pudding'?"

"I'm sorry, dear master, but this dessert isn't sold separately!"

Hearing Kiana's question, the Chestnut-haired Miss gently clasped her hands, an apologetic expression appearing on her face.

"Huh? If it's not for sale, why put it on the menu?"

Sitting across from Kiana, Dong Moxuan could not help interjecting.

"I'm sorry, dear master. This dessert is offered as a complimentary gift!"

"What kind of gift?"

"If the two masters order this 'Deluxe Couple Love Set Meal,' the dessert from just now will be given to you for free!"

The maid smiled as she said something quite astonishing. As she spoke, she also gave Dong Moxuan a look that said, This is as far as I can help you.

Dong Moxuan: "..."

Miss Maid, you really have it wrong. There's really nothing going on between me and this White-haired Ball!

Noticing the maid's look, Dong Moxuan frantically complained inwardly.

"Um... Kiana, it's just a dessert anyway. How about we don't order it?"

Turning his head, Dong Moxuan looked at the Silver-haired Girl before him and said this somewhat awkwardly.

"Why not?!"

After hearing the Chestnut-haired Maid's words, Kiana had originally been thinking of simply giving up on the dessert.

After all, although she was a little glutton, she was not so obsessed with food that she would disregard everything else.

But after hearing Dong Moxuan's words, an inexplicable anger suddenly rose in her heart, and she could not help speaking up.

What did that expression and tone mean? Was eating a couple's set meal with Miss Kiana such a burden for you?

Besides, if I really refused to order it just to avoid suspicion, wouldn't that prove I was feeling guilty?

I'm not feeling guilty!

I'm doing it for the dessert. Dong Moxuan is just a tool!

That's right, a tool!

"One Deluxe Couple Love Set Meal!"

"Coming right up, dear master!"

The maid said this with a beaming smile and immediately turned around and left.

Dong Moxuan: "..."

Things had happened too quickly for Dong Moxuan to stop her. In the end, he could only look at the Silver-haired Girl before him with a strange expression.

What's with this White-haired Ball?

Did she take the wrong medicine?

"...What... what are you looking at?"

Apparently sensing Dong Moxuan's gaze, Kiana blushed slightly and turned her head away.

"Don't get the wrong idea! I'm only doing this for the dessert. Don't you dare harbor any improper thoughts about Miss Kiana!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Kiana is number one in the world. How could someone like me ever be worthy of Miss Kiana?"

"You..."

Hearing the sarcastic edge in Dong Moxuan's words, Kiana immediately felt frustrated.

She stared at Dong Moxuan for a long while, but in the end, she said nothing. She merely snorted and turned her head away.

Seeing that Kiana seemed genuinely angry, the habitually sharp-tongued Dong Moxuan did not continue. He only scratched his cheek with an awkward grin.

After a while, the maid brought the set meal over and placed it on the small table between them.

"This is the Deluxe Couple Love Set Meal for the two masters. Please enjoy!"

Looking at the so-called Deluxe Couple Love Set Meal on the table, Dong Moxuan and Kiana completely forgot what had just happened, and both their expressions became rather unnatural.

There was no other reason. The set meal was simply far too suggestive.

The two portions of omurice were pressed tightly together, each topped with half a heart drawn in ketchup.

The various little desserts also came in pairs, arranged in an extremely suggestive way.

Most importantly, there was only one drink, with a single straw placed inside. The lower half of the straw was ordinary enough, but the upper half twisted into a heart before splitting apart in two directions.

Dong Moxuan had seen this kind of straw countless times in comics, but he had never expected to see one in real life.

"Um... I'll pass on the drink. Kiana, you can have it!"

Looking at the set meal before him, Dong Moxuan spoke awkwardly.

Kiana, who had never experienced anything related to romance, had also lost her usual composure. She merely said, "Let's eat," then lowered her head and began eating the omurice.
