“We saw someone enter your room through the CCTV, but we have not found out the identity of the person.”

Jimin cooked up an excuse.

Rosé stopped abruptly. Jimin thought that she was going to flare up, but she merely stood there and stared at him with a frown. “Can you stop smoking?”

“How does my smoking bother you…”

Jimin grumbled. Nonetheless, he put out his cigarette and tossed it in the trash can.

“I’ve never seen you smoke back in the troops.”

“Duh. What kind of a place in the army? Would one be allowed to smoke?”

Jimin then stuck both hands into his pockets and walked towards her. “Come, aren’t you a local in Dayi City? This is even Lisa’s hometown. I’ve never taken a proper tour of this place back then. How about you take me around?”

With that, he walked forward by himself.

Rosé pouted upon hearing this. She stared at his back view for a while, and could only follow him.

Today’s weather was rather pleasant, with sunshine that was warm and comfortable, but not scorching.

Rosé merely walked around with Jimin, with no specific destination in mind.

There weren’t any special places in Dayi City, not even cultural attractions. There were only modern facilities in this city.

Rosé treated Jimin to a meal at an old restaurant she liked visiting in the past.

“The place might not look like much, but the food is superb. Though, it’s been a long time since I came. I don’t know if they’re still around. Before I moved house, I particularly liked coming here to eat their fish…”

Rosé was in high spirits as she took Jimin to one of her favorite eateries. On the way, she was all smiles when she introduced this restaurant to Jimin.

Perhaps because Jimin was a lonely and cold old man, when he saw the young lady smiling so joyfully and hearing the excitement as she talked, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

At the time, he hadn’t sensed it. He could only feel that his mouth was turning dry.

He assumed it was from being under the sun for too long.

“Aiyah, it’s still around!”

The place Rosé was talking about was in an old district whose vicinity was still being developed. There was construction going on nearby, and the nearby plot of land had begun to show signs of prosperity.

Rosé gazed at the shop and scratched her head. “The renovation’s changed, but the name is still the same. It should be this one.”

Because the nearby plot of land was where Rosé and her family previously lived, it was under renovation.

Jimin looked up and sized up the place. Compared to the places he was accustomed to eating at, this was shabby.

Though he considered it shabby, an ordinary person might consider the renovation of this small shop exquisite.

As it was noontime, there were plenty of diners inside. Compared to other shops which appeared emptier, this shop’s business was indeed not bad.

After all, due to the redevelopment, there weren’t many residents in the area anymore.

It was only recently that people started slowly moving in.

Thankfully, Jimin wasn’t a severe case of a clean freak like his major-general.
