The call was from none other than Orange Bear. Liu Ergou answered without hesitation. As soon as the line connected, Orange Bear's voice came through.

"Er Gou, where are you right now?" she asked. "I'm driving to pick you up and then I'm treating you to a meal! We agreed on it yesterday, so you can't bail on me. I'll get angry if you do!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou didn't dawdle. He gave her a rough address and told her to wait for him there, saying he'd be over right away. After hanging up, he turned and headed upstairs.

Upstairs in the bedroom, Lu Shuangyue was still sound asleep. Seeing this, Liu Ergou went over and gently patted her awake.

Blinking her eyes open, Lu Shuangyue looked at him sleepily. "Mm, what is it, Er Gou? Are you hungry? If you are, just wait a minute and I'll make you breakfast right now!"

With that, Lu Shuangyue rubbed her eyes and staggered to sit up, ready to get out of bed and make breakfast.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou hastily stopped her. "It's already noon, Shuang Yue, forget about breakfast!" he said. "Besides, I wanted to tell you that Orange Bear just called and invited me out to eat, so I'm heading out now. I already made breakfast; you can just heat it up in the microwave later!"

However, what Liu Ergou never expected was that upon hearing Orange Bear's name, the previously bleary-eyed Lu Shuangyue was suddenly wide awake.

"What? Orange Bear!" Lu Shuangyue exclaimed in annoyance. "She is so annoying!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou just gave an awkward laugh and said nothing more.

But Lu Shuangyue wasn't finished. She looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Hmph, Er Gou, you can go eat with her, but I'm telling you, you'd better behave yourself, you hear me? If you dare to mess around with that Orange Bear..." She trailed off with a cold laugh, then made a scissoring gesture with her fingers. "Hehehe..."

A shiver went down Liu Ergou's spine.

How have I never noticed this terrifying side of Lu Shuangyue before? So scary!

Thinking this, he immediately made a promise. "Shuang Yue, don't worry! I won't mess around with Orange Bear! I'm just going to discuss the Snow Skin Cream with her!"

Only after hearing his assurance did Lu Shuangyue nod in satisfaction. "Hmph! Good. You're a sensible kid. Off you go!"

With Lu Shuangyue's approval, Liu Ergou didn't hesitate. He quickly left the villa and headed to the spot where he had agreed to meet Orange Bear. He had barely arrived when her car pulled up in front of him.

Before Liu Ergou could speak, the car window rolled down, revealing Orange Bear's face.

"Get in, Er Gou!" she said, pointing to the passenger seat.

Liu Ergou didn't say much and slid into the passenger seat. Immediately, Orange Bear started the car and drove him to a restaurant.

Looking at the establishment before him, Liu Ergou suddenly furrowed his brow. The restaurant's sign featured two hearts pierced by a single arrow. Below this image was the restaurant's name, but it was in English, which Liu Ergou happened not to recognize. He did, however, understand the meaning of two hearts pierced by an arrow.

Before he could say anything, Orange Bear had already gotten out and was dragging him inside.

Once inside, Liu Ergou's frown deepened. The restaurant's decor was incredibly romantic, with a dominant pink color scheme. At this point, even someone as dense as Liu Ergou began to understand. This place seemed to be a lovers' restaurant. The thought alone made his scalp tingle. He couldn't fathom why Orange Bear would bring him to a place like this.

He couldn't hold back any longer. "Orange, what's the meaning of this? Why did you bring me to a lovers' restaurant?"

Orange Bear, however, immediately denied it. "Huh? What lovers' restaurant? This is just a regular restaurant from the Eiffel Tower country!"

With that, she put on a surprised expression. "I mean, Er Gou, surely you know this! The Eiffel Tower country is the most romantic country in the world, so it's perfectly normal for their restaurants to be decorated like this!"

Her words left Liu Ergou speechless.

What could he say? He really didn't know much about these foreign customs.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou could only shut his mouth and follow her deeper into the restaurant. After a few more moments, they arrived at a private room.

Upon entering, Liu Ergou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The decor in here was even more peculiar than outside. Not only was the room painted pink, but the table was even shaped like a heart. The walls were also covered in all sorts of strange decorations.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou had to ask again. "Listen, Orange, I might not be worldly, but don't take me for a fool! Are you sure this isn't a lovers' restaurant? Look at this table, look at the decor around us. This is obviously a lovers' restaurant!"

But even as he protested, Orange Bear remained firm. "Er Gou, this really isn't a lovers' restaurant! It's just an ordinary restaurant from the Eiffel Tower country with special decorations!"

As she spoke, she pushed Liu Ergou down into a chair and said in a serious tone, "Er Gou, let's not get hung up on the restaurant! Let's talk about something else first. Do you remember yesterday when you carried me away from the fan meeting?"

Liu Ergou nodded. "I remember. A lot of people were saying I was your boyfriend!" As he said this, he couldn't help but spit on the floor. "PTUI! Those people are shameless rumormongers!"

Seeing his angry reaction, Orange Bear quickly nodded. "Yes, yes! Those people certainly are rumormongers, and what I want to talk about today is related to that! When I got home last night, I saw that the news about us was trending again! So, I was planning for us to record a video together to set the record straight and tell everyone that we are not in a romantic relationship!"
