This also became a source of motivation for him. If he needed his girlfriend to consider his pride and intentionally pick a common restaurant for eating out, it would be very shameful for a man.

With the determination to pass the medical licensing exam and become a certified doctor to improve his life and income, Kube Rokuro locked his motorcycle and entered the restaurant.

Qingdai had been waiting for a while, seated and looking at a magazine. Her indigo-colored hair cascaded down like a waterfall, one hand supporting her cheek, and a delicate finger absentmindedly twirled a lock of hair at her temple.

Seeing his girlfriend, Kube Rokuro quickly walked towards her, and upon reaching her, he greeted her, "Sorry, I'm late. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No, I have just arrived," Qingdai raised her head slightly, giving Kube Rokuro a charming smile, "The hospital's matters won't be any less than your UDI's, especially since Professor Chen Yu and Professor Jounouchi's research is at the stage of producing results. At this time, everyone in General Surgery is eager to help these professors as much as possible, and there's indeed a lot to do."

"Is that so? Then you must be working very hard," Kube Rokuro said, following up on his advantage. These were the so-called "magic words" he had recently read in a so-called dating guide—it was claimed that once these words were spoken, one could easily start a conversation with a girl.

However, Qingdai only glanced at Kube Rokuro with a smile still lingering on her lips, and put away the magazine she was just reading, "Day-to-day work, what's there to be hard or not hard about it? Moreover, my colleagues in the hospital do take care of me, and the work I have to do each day isn't actually that much. If we're talking about being busy, perhaps my little sister Nanao has it more hectic. She is a researcher in Professor Chen Yu's laboratory. Anyway, enough about this, you must be hungry, right? Let's order something to eat."

Upon hearing what Qingdai said, Kube Rokuro felt a bit disappointed, but still he quickly raised his hand, gesturing for the waiter.

After ordering meals for both himself and Qingdai, Kube Rokuro then asked her, "Do you feel uncomfortable adjusting to coming to this kind of small restaurant to eat with me?"

"Why would you ask such a question?" Qingdai looked at Kube Rokuro with a somewhat teasing expression, "If it's about a man's pride, you really don't need to worry. To me, a man who postures for appearances only manifests shallow vanity. Living within one's means is nothing to be ashamed of. If you can afford to take me here, then that's fine with me."

Hearing Qingdai's response, Kube Rokuro felt immensely happy; a girlfriend who was so understanding was indeed a blessing for a man.

However, he still had some reservations and couldn't help but ask, "But you come from a prestigious family, you must be more accustomed to the kind of upscale restaurant you first took me to, right?"

After speaking, Kube Rokuro looked at Qingdai nervously, with a mix of anticipation and reticence, waiting for her answer.

"Do you think, in your view, that a so-called lady from a prestigious family has to have luxury cars for outings, wear only designer brands, and must eat at high-end restaurants?" Qingdai, with an amused tone in her voice, shook her head at Kube Rokuro before explaining, "Maybe some daughters of wealthy families do live that sort of life, but for families like the Tashiro Family, children need to undergo various training and education from a young age. Although we live without worry for food and clothing and indeed have better conditions than the average person, it's not to the point of luxury.

In fact, for the real prestigious families that date back before the Meiji Era, they tend to prefer a simple and content life, because modest living can better temper the will of the family's youth. Luxury only leads to arrogance and indulgence.

As for those high-end restaurants, I used to frequent them quite often, but that was due to familial obligations that required me to socialize in such settings. While the food in those places is certainly delicious, I wasn't really there to eat. So, I don't mind dining in this kind of restaurant; at least I can focus on eating rather than thinking about how to deal with other people."

"I see!" Kube Rokuro laughed somewhat sheepishly and apologized to Qingdai, "Sorry, I was overthinking it."

"It's okay, Rokuro. It's normal for you to think that way. After all, I'm still constrained by my family, lacking freedom in the past and still bound by my family now." Qingdai let out a bitter laugh, then looking at Kube Rokuro, she was moved to make a personal request, "Rokuro, I have a favor to ask of Professor Chen Yu, could you find a time to help me arrange a meeting with him?"
