When she heard Xu Mu's words,
Cynthia was still curious.
Something about Xu Mu seemed off to her today.
Not only had he come to sit through a lecture with her,
he even wanted to take her out to eat.
It wasn't as if Cynthia didn't know what Xu Mu was like.
He was lazy.
So lazy that no one could get him to budge.
Seeing him like this,
Cynthia was curious,

She began thinking about what to eat.

"I guess there's no helping it!"
"I'll pick somewhere!"
Cynthia looked resigned when she heard that.
Oh, well.
She had no idea what she wanted to eat.

Cynthia would be delighted.

Cynthia was disappointed,
but there was nothing she could do.
She could only follow him with a resigned look.
The two of them finally finished their meal.
Xu Mu discreetly took out his phone
and stepped outside first.
"I need to make a call," he told Cynthia.
Cynthia wondered what Xu Mu was up to,
but she said
