Actually, couples don’t necessarily need a fancy Western-style restaurant and a candlelit dinner to feel romantic. As long as you are with the person you love, even sitting on the side of the street gnawing on a *jianbing* can be romantic.
After finishing their *jianbing*, the two walked back the way they came. They walked shoulder-to-shoulder, watching the dim streetlights as Gu Qiu held her hand, moving along in silence. Neither of them spoke. Gu Qiu didn't ask why she had shed those tears earlier; even though it had only been a moment, he could only pretend not to have seen it. If he asked, she would probably just say a meteor had flown into her eye.
They walked along quietly. Having already eaten their *jianbing*, they considered dinner done. Back home, they would loiter for a bit, wait for the delivery service to drop off their items, then take a shower and watch a movie or play some games before going to bed. This was their usual optimal solution; the two of them lived their days in this simple, steady fashion.
