So, when Chen Lu saw him also picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat, she was momentarily stunned.
The dinner went fairly well, at least for Chen Lu it did.
She constantly looked for topics of conversation, and Chu Jinzhao was responsive to each one, occasionally asking a few questions himself.
By the time they left the restaurant, it was already past ten at night.
Chen Lu stood by the roadside, "Then, I'll hail a cab back on my own, you go ahead."
Chu Jinzhao stopped, "I'll take you."
"No need," Chen Lu waved her hand, "I'm already very happy that you could have dinner with me."
Chu Jinzhao gave her a glance and didn't insist, "Be careful."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards where his car was parked.
Chen Lu opened her mouth, almost unable to restrain herself from calling out his name.
