I've been thinking about that couple who celebrated their birthday at our restaurant—they loved the photos I took for them.

That day, the Boy brought a Little Prince cake, absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't resist offering to take their photos, and chatting with the cheerful Little Prince. Later, the girl gave me a Polaroid photo, and I gave her one in return.

I liked that girl, and I loved the thoughtful Little Prince cake her boyfriend made. Though small, they still cut extra slices to share with me and the restaurant crew. She told me she had a wonderful birthday here and showed me her (Douyin)Tiktok video—it had racked up tons of views. I thought to myself I’d secretly follow her later, ahahaha, because she promised to share this great spot and let more people know about our restaurant

One day, our restaurant received a call from a guest who wanted to book a ceremonial dinner to celebrate his beloved's birthday. When I asked if it was for two, he replied, “No, no, no—it's for family and friends too. I want everyone dear to me to celebrate and share this important moment with my partner.”

This reservation filled me with joy too. I arranged the table setting, prepared flowers, and selected unique tableware for each place setting. I truly adore people who cherish rituals—they infuse the ordinary with passion and make it sparkle. When dinner time arrived, I saw the family. Their eyes lit up at my arrangements, and in return, I received the crab they had prepared. Ahahaha, happy birthday, new friend!
