When night falls, the lights on both sides of the streets in the bustling city of Kyoto suddenly light up, as if giving the city a layer of golden light.

This winter was very cold, so Huo Ruilin went home and dressed up before going to the restaurant to keep the appointment.

She wore a blue fishtail skirt inside and a rabbit fur shawl outside. Her long hair was half draped and half tied up. She wore tassel earrings and left a small strand of hair by her ears, which added a bit of softness to her.

She sat quietly at the dining table, looking forward to Song Zekai's arrival.

After a while, Song Zekai appeared at the door of the restaurant in a neat suit.

His eyes searched the crowd, and when he saw Huo Ruilin, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and he walked over quickly.

"Rui Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Song Zekai said apologetically.

Huo Ruilin smiled and shook her head: "Brother Zekai, it's okay, I just got here not long ago."

Song Zekai sat opposite Huo Ruilin and realized that Huo Ruilin had dressed up deliberately today.

This was the first time Song Zekai saw Huo Ruilin dressed so formally. She usually wore work clothes in the company. When she dressed up like this, she really had the temperament of a rich family's daughter, elegant and generous, and even a little more beautiful.

Song Zekai's gaze lingered on Huo Ruilin for a few seconds, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Huo Ruilin blushed as he stared at her like that, "Brother Zekai, why are you suddenly looking at me like that?"

Song Zekai came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "I just think that you are a little different today."

Huo Ruilin lowered her head slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and showed a shy smile. "What's the difference? It's still me."

Song Zekai coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe. "Yeah, very beautiful, a little different from usual."

Huo Ruilin was delighted. She raised her head and looked at Song Zekai, her eyes sparkling. "Really? Brother Zekai, do you think I'm beautiful?"

Song Zekai nodded, "Of course, your family has such good genes, and you are Huo Jingchen's sister, how can you not be beautiful?"

This was the first time that Song Zekai praised her beauty so seriously, and Huo Ruilin was very happy.

At this time, Song Zekai snapped his fingers and called the waiter over to take the order.

"Come and take a look. What do you want to eat?" Song Zekai handed the menu to Huo Ruilin.

"I don't know. Let's take a look together!" Huo Ruilin shook her head.

Hearing this, Song Zekai didn't say anything. He looked at the menu with Huo Ruilin and pointed out which dishes were delicious. The atmosphere gradually became relaxed and pleasant.

After they ordered their meals, they started chatting. However, the tranquility was soon broken.

A fashionable and beautiful woman walked towards them. Huo Ruilin recognized her as Song Zekai's ex-girlfriend Qin Yan at a glance.

"Zekai, long time no see." Qin Yan's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and complicated emotions.

Song Zekai stood up, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why are you here?"

Qin Yan looked at Huo Ruilin, then at Song Zekai, with a meaningful smile on her face: "Zekai, I didn't expect you to have a new love so soon."

After hearing this, Song Zekai felt unhappy, but he remained calm: "You misunderstood, this is my friend."

Without waiting for Qin Yan to speak, Huo Ruilin immediately walked to Song Zekai's side, took his arm, and smiled, "Yes, I'm his girlfriend."

Hearing this, Song Zekai looked at Huo Ruilin in disbelief.

Huo Ruilin just wanted to assert her sovereignty and make Song Zekai's ex-girlfriend give up.

Qin Yan's face turned a little ugly in an instant. She stared at Song Zekai closely, as if waiting for him to deny Huo Ruilin's statement.

However, Song Zekai chose to remain silent.

"Song Zekai, you are so heartless. It's been less than a year since we broke up, and you're already busy looking for another partner?" Qin Yan said angrily.

Song Zekai frowned and said, "We have broken up, let the past be the past."

"past?"

Hearing these two words, Qin Yan began to be unwilling to give in. She bit her lip and said unwillingly: "Zekai, have you really fallen in love with someone else? We were so beautiful before, and you let it go so easily?"

"Qin Yan, I think you should know that it was you who cheated on me. So? You are the only one allowed to find a man, but I am not allowed to have a new girlfriend?"

As he said that, Song Zekai put his arm around Huo Ruilin's waist in public, deliberately embarrassing Qin Yan.

Qin Yan's eyes flashed with tears. She looked at Song Zekai and couldn't help but stepped forward to hold his hand, her tone full of pleading: "Zekai, I know I did something wrong before, can't you give me another chance?"

Huo Ruilin looked at Qin Yan like this and thought that this woman did not cherish Song Zekai after being with him and even cheated on him, so she knew that she did not deserve any sympathy.

Thinking of this, Huo Ruilin pulled Qin Yan's hand away and said angrily, "Ms. Qin, if you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment. Brother Zekai is my boyfriend now, please don't bother him anymore."

Qin Yan glared at Huo Ruilin fiercely and said, "Who do you think you are? Why are you with Ze Kai?"

Huo Ruilin stared back at Qin Yan without fear and said, "Just because I like him and he likes me too."

Qin Yan wanted to say something, but Song Zekai interrupted her: "That's enough, Qin Yan. We are done, please don't bother us anymore."

Qin Yan looked at Song Zekai's cold eyes, her heart filled with despair.

"Go away! I don't want to see you again!" Song Zekai pulled Huo Ruilin, sat back in his seat, and ignored Qin Yan.

Qin Yan bit her red lips, her face full of grievance, and finally turned around and left the restaurant.

Song Zekai looked at Qin Yan's departing back, feeling a little complicated. He turned his head, looked at Huo Ruilin, and said, "Ruilin, why did you say that just now?"

Huo Ruilin lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly: "I just don't want her to bother you anymore."

Song Zekai sighed and said, "You will make her misunderstand."

Huo Ruilin raised her head, looked at Song Zekai, and said, "What about you? Do you have any misunderstandings?"

Song Zekai looked at Huo Ruilin's expectant eyes, and his heart moved. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ruilin, I..."

Just then, the waiter came over and interrupted their conversation. "Sir, Miss, your dishes are ready."

Huo Ruilin couldn't help but change the subject, "Let's eat first!"

This dinner, which was originally full of anticipation, now became a little awkward and silent.

After dinner, the two walked out of the restaurant together.

It started snowing outside and a cold wind blew, and Huo Ruilin shivered with cold.

Seeing this, Song Zekai quickly took off his coat and considerately put it on Huo Ruilin, his tone full of reproach: "It's winter, and you don't know how to wear more clothes. You care more about style than temperature, right?"

Huo Ruilin raised her eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Is he concerned about her?
