He looked at Yu Shi's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He wanted to call her, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only let the inexplicable feeling spread in his heart.

Yu Shi's steps were firm and powerful, and her goal was clear, pointing directly at the street lamp in the center of the square that was particularly eye-catching under the Halloween decorations. At first, Bai Shi thought she was going to meet someone, but as he observed more, he realized that things were far from that simple.

Yu Shi stood under the street lamp, staring at the hanging glass pumpkin lantern, revealing an indescribable concentration and alertness in her eyes. She checked her phone from time to time, and the action was more like waiting for a signal rather than just checking the time.

Just then, a little girl dressed as Little Red Riding Hood came to the street lamp, happily wanting to take a photo with the pumpkin lantern. The little girl's smile was innocent and integrated with the joyful atmosphere around her, but this tranquility was about to be broken.

Yu Shi shouted "No way there!" almost reflexively, and quickly grabbed the little girl's shoulders and pulled her back from danger.

Then, a heart-pounding scene happened - the pumpkin lantern fell off the street lamp without warning, fell heavily to the ground, made a harsh shattering sound, and glass fragments flew everywhere.

The little girl brushed past this sudden disaster, and was only a few feet away from those sharp fragments. If Yu Shi hadn't intervened in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

The crowd exclaimed one after another, and everyone cast surprised eyes. Yu Shi quickly squatted down and gently asked if the little girl was okay. The little girl's parents came over after hearing the news and expressed their deep gratitude to Yu Shi. In this sudden episode, Yu Shi's calmness and courage became the focus of everyone's attention.

However, for Shiraishi, all this seemed extremely strange. He keenly noticed that Yushi seemed to have anticipated the falling of the lantern, and there seemed to be some unknown secret behind her behavior.

This strong intuition made Shiraishi unable to let go. His eyes were fixed on Yushi, trying to find the answer from every subtle movement of hers.

However, Yushi seemed unwilling to have too much interaction with Shiraishi. After confirming that the little girl was fine, she turned around hurriedly and blended into the crowd, like a frightened deer, disappearing without a trace.

Shiraishi's heart was full of doubts and confusion. He muttered to himself: "What is that guy doing...?"

Just then, Takumi's voice interrupted his thoughts. He appeared in front of Shiraishi with an anxious look on his face, holding his shoulders tightly, fearing that he would get lost again.

Under Takumi's urging, Shiraishi had to temporarily put aside his doubts and follow his footsteps to the social venue.

Takumi led Shiraishi through the busy square. About five minutes later, they arrived in front of a commercial building standing on a busy street corner.

Compared to the lively scene just now, this place seemed quiet and elegant.It is like a quiet oasis in the city. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"This is it, that's right." Takumi confirmed the information on his phone while carefully comparing it with the store sign, then pulled Shiraishi into the building and walked straight to the elevator.

As the floors rose, the noise of pedestrians gradually faded away, but Takumi still held the backpack straps tightly, and his caution and carefulness made Shiraishi feel a little relieved.

The elevator door slowly opened, and the two came to the fourth floor, where restaurants gathered. Takumi stood in front of the floor map, his eyes locked on the exquisite panel marked "Creative Japanese Food Izakaya", which was their destination for this trip - the social gathering place.

Through a warm curtain with a full sense of design, a warm and elegant atmosphere came to the face. Inside the store, a young and professional clerk immediately came up to express his welcome with a polite and thoughtful attitude.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind the waiter, accompanied by a mobile phone in hand and eyes shining with wisdom behind the glasses - it was Ryohei Kodani, one of the organizers of the social gathering tonight.

"Ah, Takumi, you are here, and this is Shiraishi, right? Sorry to have kept you waiting." Ryohei Kodani greeted with a smile, and the intimacy instantly brought them closer.

"Senior Kodani, long time no see, everything is fine." Takumi responded with a smile, and the tacit understanding and friendship between the two were beyond words.

Under the guidance of Ryohei, Shiraishi and Takumi walked through the restaurant and came to a semi-private seat at the deepest part.

The space here is spacious, and after sitting down, you can almost isolate all the noise from the outside world. The six people sit comfortably and have excellent privacy. Through the glass window, you can still glimpse the night outside. Although you can't see the iconic Ferris wheel directly, the bright lights of the commercial facilities are reflected on the sea, forming a deep and charming picture that makes people feel relaxed and happy.

At this moment, Bai Shi couldn't help but sigh that this was not just a simple social gathering, but more like a carefully arranged double feast of vision and soul. .
