With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 54 Getting Dinner

When Lin Fan came into the Mercenary Guild, he actually drew quite a few pairs of eyes.

The female mercenaries who had been sitting with their parties at the bar all couldn't help turning to look in Lin Fan's direction.

After all, he was just too handsome!

There were even some men who were looking at Lin Fan with strange looks. These were looks that sent a chill running down Lin Fan's spine.

However he ignored all of this as he focused his attention on the receptionist counter. Looking carefully, he saw that Lala was still working behind the counter.

After stopping to check if his breath was bad and that everything was just right, Lin Fan made his way over to the counter.

Lala, who had been busy with someone, had just finished up with that person when she saw Lin Fan coming over. Even though she had seen him before, when he cleaned up, he really gave off a different image.

Her heart couldn't help beating fast as she watched him come over.

Lin Fan arrived at the counter and then with a wave of his hand, there was a bouquet of roses that appeared.

He had especially gone to pick these up earlier because he remembered one magazine saying that a bouquet of roses would make a great impression on the first date. It was just too bad that in this ancient world, this wasn't the case.

This was something that had never been done before in this ancient world, so Lala was caught off guard by this.

However, as she looked at Lin Fan standing there holding those roses for her, she couldn't help feeling a warm feeling fill her heart.

She revealed a smile as she took the bouquet and said, "These are quite lovely." But then after a pause, she said, "Aren't these a bit too much?"

Lin Fan revealed an awkward look and said, "Well, I thought that you might like them."

Lala felt another warm feeling fill her heart, but she still had a teasing look on her face as she said, "Well, people might think that you're getting a bit too serious if you do something like this."

Lin Fan didn't know what to say, so he just honestly said, "I don't mind."

,m Lala could no longer maintain the teasing look on her face as a blush suddenly came over it. She couldn't help lowering her head because she couldn't look Lin Fan right in the face when he said this.

After a pause, she looked up and asked, "So where are we going?"

This time, Lin Fan revealed a confident smile as he said, "Well I found a good place nearby. Are you ready to go?"

Lala gave a nod before saying, "Just let me put these files away and I'll be right with you."

Lin Fan gave a nod before moving to the side so he didn't disturb her.

As he moved to the side, he couldn't help seeing a person that was wearing a cloak acting suspiciously on the side. Based on the way that they were facing, it seemed like they were looking right at Lala?

Lin Fan was about to say something, but before he could, Lala's voice rang out from behind him, "I'm good. Are you ready to go?"

Lin Fan turned around for a second to look at her and when he remembered the suspicious person, he found that that cloaked person was already gone.

Since he was gone, there was nothing that he could do.

Lala saw the look on Lin Fan's face and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Lin Fan quickly looked back and shook his head as he said, "No, nothing at all."

Then Lin Fan reached one hand out in front of him and gave a slight bow as he asked in a gentlemanly manner, "Shall we go?"

Lala was surprised to see Lin Fan acting like this, but she reached her hand out to take his with a happy smile.

Even if she felt that Lin Fan was on the cute side, she didn't mind seeing his dependable side from time to time. It was enough to make her heart skip a beat after all.

Holding hands like this, the two of them walked out of the Mercenary Guild under many gazes. There were many looks of admiration, but there were also looks of envy from both genders.

Lin Fan led Lala through the streets and soon they arrived at the restaurant that Lin Fan had found this morning. However, when they arrived, there was a large closed sign that was placed on the door.

Lin Fan looked at the large closed sign as his mouth dropped wide open.

What was going on?

Why was this place closed?

Why would it close this suddenly when it had just been ranked on this month's restaurant ranking at the Merchants Guild?

Lala also looked at the large closed sign before looking up at the name of the restaurant with a thoughtful look. After thinking about it for a bit, she revealed a look like she had suddenly thought of something.

"Ah, I've heard about this place before. It's quite famous in this area and I've always wanted to try it." Then she revealed a smile as she said, "It's just too bad that you chose to come here on the one day a week that they close to restock."

Lin Fan turned to look at her with a stunned look as his brain processed what she had just said.

A mistake!

He had made a big mistake!

He had only asked about which restaurants were good at the Merchants Guild, but he had completely forgotten to ask about their schedule. He had just assumed that the restaurant would be open, so he had never bothered checking.

Lin Fan then revealed an awkward look and said, "Eh…I can go and find another restaurant if you want…"

Lala just shook her head with a smile and said, "No need, let's go to a place nearby. I know a restaurant that's quite good that we can go to."

Lin Fan still had the same awkward look, but since there was no better choice, he just gave a nod in response.

This time, Lala was the one who held her hand out for Lin Fan to take.

The two of them walked down several streets before coming to a small restaurant that was hidden in a small alley.

While it seemed like a small restaurant, when they came in, Lin Fan found that it was completely filled with people.

It seemed like this restaurant was quite popular even though it was a small place.

But when he looked around, he found that the restaurant was quite packed. He wasn't really sure if they would be able to get a seat in such a busy restaurant.

However, when the waiter came over, he said with a happy smile, "Lala, you're here again." Then he revealed a confused look as he said, "But wait, it's not your usual days."

Lala revealed a smile and pointed at Lin Fan beside her before saying, "Well, I'm here with someone today."

The waiter looked over at Lin Fan and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw him. He pursed his lips into a smile as he came closer to Lala to say, "You caught quite the handsome one this time, didn't you? How about you share him with me sometime."

Lala pouted her lips and softly hit the waiter in the shoulder before saying, "Stop teasing me."

The waiter stood up straight again and said while laughing, "Well, I guess I should find a good seat to congratulate our little Lala on finding such a fine man." Then he turned around to look through the restaurant before saying, "Hold on a minute, let me go find a place for you."

After he left, Lin Fan asked with a smile, "Are you a regular here? He seems quite close to you."

Lala nodded before saying, "They just like to gossip and tease each other, don't mind it."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I don't mind it at all. It's a very warm place and it's clear that they care about you."

Lala's face was covered in a blush before she hit Lin Fan's shoulder in an embarrassed manner and said, "Don't you start learning from them."

Lin Fan just raised his hands in surrender with a chuckle.

The waiter didn't take long to come back and very quickly he led them to a small table that was in between the larger tables.

Now that he was in the restaurant, Lin Fan saw that while it seemed quite crowded, there were actually quite a few spaces left. It was just that the large tables were filled and they blocked the view of the smaller tables in between that were quite empty.

The waiter gave them two menus before heading off. After all, this place was still quite busy with those large parties.

Lala didn't look at the menu as she waited for Lin Fan to look through it.

Lala noticed this and asked, "What's wrong? You're not hungry?"

Lin Fan said, "I'll trust you to order since you know this place best."

Lala gave a nod and said, "Well, maybe I'll get something bad for you."

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I'll leave it to you, I trust you."

Another blush came over Lala's cheeks when she heard this.

It was actually a good thing that Lin Fan's plans had failed. Ever since Lala had taken the lead in picking the restaurant, Lin Fan was no longer as tense as he didn't have a strict plan to follow, so he was able to banter with Lala more which was what she liked in the first place.

After ordering their meals, there was some time before it arrived, so they had a little chat in between.

The first thing Lala asked was, "So, why did you come to this city?"
