The server secretly wondered to herself.
But the other person's relaxed demeanor really didn't seem like...
"!?"
"Crack~"
In her panic, the server shut the door a little too loudly.
It almost sounded like she'd slammed it.
The server's heart gave a heavy thump.
Her face was a mix of bewilderment and embarrassment.
Just now...
The customer had looked over at her...
With a guilty conscience, her reaction had inevitably been a little over the top.
No.
Way over the top.
Thinking of the sound the door had made...
The server massaged her forehead, her head aching.
Now... it wouldn't be a good idea to go back in and apologize.
She'd better wait a while...
She'd apologize to the customer when she brought out the food.
She'd say she hadn't controlled her strength and had shut the door a little too loudly...
Mm.
The server nodded.
That was what she'd do.
Once she'd figured out what to do next, the server felt relieved.
She hurried toward the kitchen.
She'd already been rude once. She couldn't keep the customer waiting too long for the food, too.
Xiao Xiao withdrew his gaze, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He'd meant to ask the server if there was something else she needed.
But she seemed to have been startled by his gaze.
Well.
He had a pretty good idea.
The server didn't need anything.
She was just curious about him eating hot pot alone.
Xiao Xiao smiled and shook his head slightly.
"Aw~"
Taotie climbed down from Xiao Xiao's head.
It picked up a bowl bigger than itself.
Wobbling as it flew, it headed toward the rack of assorted seasonings.
The restaurant thoughtfully provided an assortment of seasonings in every private room, so customers could mix their own.
