Eventually, the two had lunch at a ramen-themed restaurant.

The location was chosen by Ji Yuehua. Before inviting Bayi Yonglin out to go shopping, he had already prepared for this trip at home, and conducted extremely detailed research, including sorting out the opinions of diners, reviews of food magazines and online comments, from the decoration of the store to the type of food, and other aspects, it took nearly half a day to choose this place and several backup plans. After that, it took another half day to check the map and plan the route.

Although Bayi Yonglin originally walked into the restaurant with a full stomach full of resentment———— with the idea of finishing the meal quickly and then going to business, she finally ate in front of the food with relish and began to enjoy the lunch this time unexpectedly.

And it's no wonder.

Although Bayi Yonglin, as the director of the Technology Development Bureau, ranks first in the entire military department and even in the entire Republic of Sonivia, the scope of his life is extremely limited.

As the price of not leaving the Technology Development Bureau, she only eats the food of the military canteen in most cases. This situation has intensified after Yakumo Zi and the two no longer have time to let Ji Yuehua invite her to travel with the four of them.

It's not that the food in the military canteen is not delicious, but after all, the military canteen is not a place where enjoyment exists, and its level is only at the level of the middle and upper levels, not to mention any particularly delicious cuisine. Moreover, no matter how extraordinary the level of the military canteen is...... It's impossible for the dining room menu to change on a large scale every once in a while, and the chefs are generally the same as before...... If you eat three meals a day, it's not as simple as "getting tired of eating".

Like Wakaxiwan, only lunch is fixed every day in the canteen of the military headquarters, and breakfast and dinner are taken in turn with Yakumo Azusa, and they usually use the private kitchen on the special floor of the dormitory to cook.

For example, ordinary employees who are not affiliated with the 13th Fleet of the Military Department have a fixed daily routine where only breakfast and lunch are settled in the canteen of the Military Department, and then rush home to have dinner with their relatives.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that only Bayi Yonglin still maintains the trembling habit of eating takeaway from the military canteen for three meals a day, and it has lasted for a full twenty-eight years.

It's a matter of course when you're tired of eating. If it weren't for the fact that Bayi Yonglin consciously blocked her sense of taste———— focused all her attention on other things, and persuaded herself with the reasons of "convenience" and "no need", I am afraid that it would have been difficult to swallow when eating.

At this moment, Ji Yuehua suddenly brought her to a highly rated restaurant, and under the multiple comparisons, the original unhappiness in her heart would be swept away, so that it was natural to enjoy the food with joy.

It's like teaching a kid who only knows how to flip a rope to play a computer game, and the new world is always full of surprises for people.

In fact, when it comes to cooking, both Yakumo Azusa and Ji Yuehua can compete with these restaurants for enjoyment. It's a pity that Yakumo Zi and the others haven't been close to Yayi Yonglin to the point of cooking for her every day, and Ji Yuehua can't find time to do leisurely things like "cooking" during the days when he was an adjutant, so Yayi Yonglin's requirements for food have always been maintained at a very low level.

"Then again, what type of stuff do you really want to buy?"

"Hmm...... I haven't decided on that yet. As I said before, although I have known each other for a long time, I don't know each other's preferences very well. At the very least, I don't know enough information to use as a reference......"

After lunch, the two wandered aimlessly down the street.

For Bayi Yonglin, this is a journey that makes her very entangled. Now that you have promised to help, let's just do it hastily and end the torment caused by ambivalence as soon as possible.

However, for Ji Yuehua, it was the opposite.

The changes that happened to him after meeting Tachibana Yukino made him reflect once again on his failing, selfish, and flawed interpersonal strategies over the past four years.

If Tachibana hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, he would never have known that the other party had opened a café, and her sister was working in that café. What's more, that café is actually where he meets with netizens, but he has never been in a daze, and he has not even noticed that the other party is secretly hiding in the dark and nervously monitoring him with concerned eyes.

Just as Yakumo Azusa and Wakakiwan didn't fully understand how he had changed in the past few years, he didn't know that Tachibana Yukino's life had changed to this extent......

On the side of Bayi Yonglin, is everything the same as before?

I'm curious about the life of the person I like.

In addition, it was also because of the guilt of Lihua Xueno that aroused the apology in his heart for Bayi Yonglin.

Under these two powerful inducements, in the end, Ji Yuehua was defeated in front of her conscience, and while facing her conscience, she also mustered up courage, which led to today's incident.

Needless to say, asking Bayi Yonglin to help choose a gift is just a cover. Although the gift was ultimately given to her———— which was to some extent an apology to him———— these were only secondary.

Not bad.

In fact, Wing Lin's instincts were correct———— it was a fake date.

As for why she had to let Bayi Yonglin herself choose her own gift, Ji Yuehua didn't lie about this.

Although he had known Bayi Yonglin for a long time, Ji Yuehua had thought about it for a long time, except for things related to research, he really didn't know what other things Bayyi Yonglin liked.

———— all in all, it's impossible to really pick flasks and tubes as gifts anyway.

If he had to say anything, he might be a good answer. However, even so, considering that the relationship between the two of them was still a bit stiff, he couldn't have done something stupid to tie himself with a ribbon or give the key to his house to Bayi Yonglin.

After thinking about it, I still can't think of anything I can give. However, even if this is the case, I don't imagine that I gave a "mug" like I did back then, and I didn't want to play with the other party's preferences and was completely insincere as a gift.

In desperation, in the end, Ji Yuehua had to use the old method of the year, and flickered to let Bayi Yonglin herself pick the gift to her. 10
