"Great food at a great price."
"It's just a little out of the way."
"But it's a hidden gem only foodies know about."
Xie Chuchu emphasized.
"I'll treat you both to hot pot there for dinner."
"How does that sound?"
Xie Chuchu looked hopeful.
"Chuchu?"
Chi Xiuke was a little surprised.
"Why did you suddenly invite Master Xiao along?"

Xie Chuchu was at a loss for words.
Silly girl.
Wasn't this so you could spend more time with your idol?

Xiao Xiao smiled.
Xie Chuchu immediately shot Xiao Xiao a grateful look.
Her opinion of Master Xiao skyrocketed.
Not bad.
He knew how to read the room.
"No."
Chi Xiuke hurriedly waved her hands. "Of course I don't mind."
"It's just that..."
There was no need for Master Xiao to come with them...
She'd only be wasting his time for no reason...
"Isn't there hot pot?"
Xiao Xiao blinked.
The monster perched on his head had perked right up at the mere mention of hot pot.
Chi Xiuke smiled.
She knew Master Xiao was just making an excuse.

"Thank you, Master Xiao."
"Thank you, Master Xiao."
Xie Chuchu smiled brightly.
She knew the guy had probably figured out what she was thinking.
She was very happy he was willing to come along with them.
Besides, she wouldn't let Master Xiao make the trip for nothing.
That hot pot restaurant really was delicious.
The friend who'd recommended it to her was a real foodie.
If the restaurant weren't tucked away, with so few people knowing about it, they'd have had to wait in
