After thanking Le Tianyi, everyone headed back upstairs in the apartment complex. They went to Qin Luo's place again, while Bai Shu and Chen Xiaofei went home to change first.
Wang Weihu made straight for the kitchen as soon as he walked in.
Xu Duoduo took out some food, starting with a simple hot pot.
Qin Luo helped with the prep.
Twenty minutes later.
All of 3A gathered around the steaming hot pots again. Hot pot really was convenient!
Chen Xiaofei whimpered with happiness. "Help! Who invented hot pot? This is amazing!"
Cook it fresh, eat it fresh.
Xu Duoduo tossed meatballs into the pots. Two hot pots were plenty for the four humans and one zombie to feast on.
Bai Shu's lips were bright red from the spice, but he stubbornly kept eating from the spicy pot. "Sss... hot pot has to be spicy."
His tongue was practically too numb to speak properly.
Wang Weihu opened a few cans of drinks. "Have some Cantonese herbal cooling tea to cool things down."
Qin Luo licked his lips. "What real man drinks herbal cooling tea with spicy hot pot?!"
Bai Shu's hand froze just as he was about to reach out, then quietly withdrew. Damn his competitive streak!
Chen Xiaofei hissed and panted several times. "Seriously, is something wrong with today's hot pot base? Why is it so spicy?"
He was sweating from eating it.
Xu Duoduo happily poured in meatballs, added rolls of sliced meat, then scooped them out and ate, ate, ate.
Qin Luo had to keep checking on her in case she got carried away and burned her mouth. "Here, open up. Let me see."
He pinched Xu Duoduo's cheeks and leaned in to look. "Whoa, those shark teeth are too cute. All right, no burns. Keep eating."
