Hearing Fu Zhu's words, March 7th was startled at first, then she patted her chest as if breathing a sigh of relief. However, she couldn't help but glare at Fu Zhu with annoyance and muttered softly.
"You clearly remembered, yet you deliberately said you didn't know. Are you teasing me?"
Fu Zhu turned his head sideways cheerfully, cup his hand around his ear, and pretended not to hear: "What did you say? The wind was a bit loud just now, I couldn't hear clearly. Did you say you agreed to go on a date with me?"
"You're still teasing me! The distance between us isn't even a meter! How could you possibly not hear what someone is saying!"
March 7th reached out her hand in embarrassment, wanting to pinch Fu Zhu's ear, but he reached out and grabbed her hand instead. Fu Zhu held March 7th's hand with a grin and asked back, "I really didn't hear whether you agreed to me or not. Did you agree? Or did you agree?"
"Aren't those two choices the same..." March 7th rolled her eyes grumpily. Then she glanced toward the counter and saw that Stelle and Dan Heng had finished ordering and were preparing to head back. She hurriedly said with a flushed little face, "Okay, okay, I agree to you. I was clearly the one who invited you before, yet you're asking this now... Hurry up and let go!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Fu Zhu finally released March 7th's hand. Stelle and Dan Heng also walked back at this moment.
"March, why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Stelle noticed that March 7th's cheeks seemed somewhat ruddy and sat down beside her with confusion.
March 7th instantly raised her hand in a fluster and fanned herself in front of her face: "Nothing much, it's just simply a bit hot in this shop!"
"Hot?"
Dan Heng and Stelle stared at March 7th with suspicious faces. If someone else said this, it might have some credibility, but she was March 7th, possessor of Six-Phased Ice!
One must know that Six-Phased Ice is extremely difficult to melt even when thrown into lava, let alone just sitting inside this shop. It would be strange if March 7th felt hot!
However, the two did not expose March 7th's lie. Since she said so, she must have her own unspeakable reasons.
This little interlude was quickly broken by the waiter bringing over various desserts and drinks. Seeing the waiter bringing everyone's food, March 7th felt as if she had been granted amnesty and immediately called out to everyone.
"Let's eat quickly!"
The other three nodded and didn't say anything more, each taking their own portion and starting to eat.
While Fu Zhu was eating, he didn't forget to take out his phone under the table and secretly contact Calderon Chadwick, who was still staying with Herta and Screwllum.
After March 7th agreed to the date, he began thinking about how to make this first date unforgettable for a lifetime. Thus, he thought of a type of musical MC video he used to see frequently—those video creators used Redstone circuits, Note Blocks, and fireworks to perform beautiful songs one after another, completing an amazing audiovisual feast.
He wanted to replicate this, but he wasn't proficient in it. However, he still had the genius Chadwick!
[Fu Zhu: Doctor, urgent emergency!]
[Chadwick: Sir, is there something you need done?]
[Fu Zhu: Doctor, hurry and research Redstone circuits and Note Blocks. I need to use them in the evening to perform a musical firework show!]
[Chadwick: Received, Sir.]
Although Chadwick didn't understand why Fu Zhu suddenly wanted to perform musical fireworks, as long as it was a request made by Fu Zhu, he would do his best to complete it. Besides, this matter wasn't difficult.
Before this, he had already thoroughly read the information Fu Zhu gave him. He already knew Redstone circuits like the back of his hand. Half a day's time was more than enough!
Just as Fu Zhu finished chatting with Chadwick, a message from Himeko came in.
[Himeko: Fu Zhu, the results regarding Sunday's punishment are out. The outcome will be announced tonight on the Radiant Feldspar. Additionally, people from both The Family and The Company want to thank you in person, so a banquet will be held on the Radiant Feldspar. Remember, you must come. Please forward this message to March and the others.]
[Fu Zhu: Okay.]
After replying to the message, Fu Zhu repeated the matter to March 7th and the other two, then stood up: "I have some business to attend to, so I'll leave first. See you tonight on the Radiant Feldspar."
After saying that, he left the café directly, leaving no chance for March 7th and the others to ask questions.
March 7th originally wanted to ask something, but seeing Fu Zhu leave so quickly, she sighed lightly.
"Why did he go off to act alone again..."
Stelle shrugged indifferently: "Used to it. Won't we know if we just ask him tonight on the Radiant Feldspar?"
"Yeah..."
Just as the three continued eating, planning to finish quickly and then go meet up with Himeko and the others, a waiter walked over carrying a tray.
"Hello, three guests. These are small gifts from our shop to the three of you. Please accept them."
The waiter distributed three red buttons with flower patterns from the tray to the three of them one by one.
Stelle picked it up in confusion, then asked the waiter, "What is this? A button?"
The waiter nodded with a smile: "This is a miraculous button. If you press it, the entire Penacony will be blown sky-high~"
Slap!
With incomparable speed, Stelle slapped her hand directly onto the button. Seeing this, March 7th couldn't help but cover her face and let out a sharp scream, raising a finger to point at Stelle with a face of disbelief: "How could you just press it down! Did you not hear her say this is a button that can blow Penacony sky-high?!"
Stelle rolled her eyes at March 7th grumpily: "March, you believe whatever she says? Besides... the more something says it shouldn't be pressed, the harder it is for people to resist!"
However, what disappointed Stelle was that nothing happened after pressing it. She turned her head to look at the waiter: "Didn't you say it would blow up sky-high?"
Seeing that the button was pressed so quickly, the corners of the waiter's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Then, she forced a slight smile and said, "Guest, I haven't finished speaking yet. There are over a thousand of these buttons in total. The effect will only happen if all of them are pressed down!"
Hearing this, Stelle couldn't help but scan the café in surprise: "Your café... gets over a thousand customers a day? The income must be quite considerable! If I had money, I'd open a café too!"
Blue veins popped out on the waiter's forehead, and a black cross-popping vein symbol appeared in a very manga-esque style.
Is that the main point!
After taking a few deep breaths, the waiter forced out a sliver of a smile and said, "If there is nothing else, I won't disturb the three of you. Goodbye."
With that, she walked away hurriedly, deeply afraid that if she stayed a second longer, some strange words would come out of Stelle's mouth again.
After the waiter returned to the back kitchen, she hid in an unmanned corner and changed back to her original appearance—dressed in red. It was surprisingly Sparkle, who hadn't appeared for a long time since separating from Fu Zhu.
Sparkle quietly poked half her head out from the back kitchen to look at the three of them, and couldn't help but chuckle lowly and coolly.
"Little fellows, just you wait for the fun of turning into Lord Sparkle along with Fu Zhu!"
