In the empty, abandoned factory.

A medium-sized iron pot was set up, and dry branches served as the best firewood. Soon, the water in the pot began to bubble.

At this point, no one would think that burning firewood would pollute the air.

The air we have now is the freshest it has been in nearly a hundred years.

The arrival of the energy tide restored the world to its most vibrant era.

Leng Yebai expressionlessly opened a packet of hot pot base and poured all the base into the pot.

A rich aroma wafted from the pot, the spicy and savory flavor stimulating Bai Xizhu's taste buds.

Hot pot is her favorite food.

Bai Xizhu stared longingly at the bubbling spicy broth in the hot pot, her stomach starting to rumble.

Leng Yebai, like a seasoned cook, deftly added some vegetable balls to the pot.

Fan Tangtang sat obediently to the side, hugging his legs, his eyes blinking as he watched the spicy hot pot broth.

The red hot pot broth looks a lot like fresh blood!

Fan Tangtang swallowed hard. He was hungry, but he endured it.

He had no intention of eating the humans around him.

On one side are their parents.

On one side are Brother Zhang's friends.

Unless he's mentally unstable, he wouldn't eat these people.

If he ate someone surnamed Bai, he felt that Brother Zhang would twist his head off.

The Fan couple were not idle; they quickly helped Leng Yebai unpack plastic bags and take things out.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

When Fan Liping saw that Zhang Yiming wanted to take the bowls and chopsticks, he quickly went over, took the bowls and chopsticks, and distributed them to everyone.

Fan Tangtang, being the boss, naturally couldn't be allowed to do any work!

The entire Fan family still has to cling to his leg!

Zhang Yiming glanced at the Fan couple and then let them go.

In that instant, he envied Fan Tangtang.

At least, Fan Tangtang's family didn't despise him for being a zombie. For Fan Tangtang's sake, his family was willing to stay by the side of a zombie.

"Add more beef balls and sliced ​​beef," Bai Xizhu instructed Leng Yebai, her eyes sparkling, standing beside the wok. "And a few more prawns, and plenty of greens. There are a lot of us, so let's pour in both boxes of sliced ​​beef!"

The spicy and savory flavors stimulated her taste buds. Bai Xizhu stared longingly at the various foods in the iron pot, holding a bowl and chopsticks in her hand.

We're just waiting for it to be cooked and eaten.

The first few minutes before the hot pot is cooked are the most unbearable.

Hot pot is Bai Xizhu's favorite.

Especially the spicy soup.

I have absolutely no resistance to it.

Zhang Yiming's eyes softened for a moment as he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and stood on the other side of Bai Xizhu.

For a fleeting moment, he felt that he was also human.

Just like a class reunion, he stood next to Xiaozhu, eating hot pot together and talking about their future dreams.

Glug glug--

Various ingredients were tumbling in the iron pot.

"It's cooked! Dinner's ready!"

Bai Xizhu's eyes sparkled as she stared intently at the large strainer in Leng Yebai's hand.

This strainer can accurately scoop out a large amount of food.

Anyway, she's not a picky eater; she loves to eat everything.

Right now, give her a big spoonful, that would be perfect!

Leng Yebai looked at Bai Xizhu with doting eyes. Seeing the adorable Bai Xizhu, he couldn't help but reach out and gently pat her head.

Bai Xizhu smiled slightly at Leng Yebai with her dark eyes, and silently tapped her bowl twice with her chopsticks.

Ding-dong, dinner's ready!

Leng Yebai smiled indulgently at Bai Xizhu, then calmly scooped out a large spoonful with a large strainer.

The large strainer was piled high with ingredients, like a small mountain.

Beef slices, meatballs, duck blood, enoki mushrooms...

"Wow--"

Bai Xizhu exclaimed in surprise and quickly picked up her bowl.

That big spoonful completely filled her bowl.

Leng Yebai held up a strainer full of ingredients and slowly raised it toward Bai Xizhu.

Bai Xizhu raised her bowl again and moved it towards Leng Yebai's spoon.

Bai Xizhu's dark eyes were fixed on the food in the spoon.

She watched helplessly as a spoonful of food passed over her and was steadily poured into Zhang Yiming's bowl.

Bai Xizhu: ? ? ?

Should I leave?

Is there enough to eat?

Leng Yebai's cold voice rang out from Bai Xizhu's right.

"A few more pieces of duck blood, please."

Zhang Yiming's gentle voice sounded from Bai Xizhu's left.

Leng Yebai didn't say anything more. He reached the large strainer into the iron pot again and steadily scooped up a spoonful of duck blood.

The strainer filled with duck blood once again passed over Bai Xizhu and steadily poured it into the bowl in Zhang Yiming's hand.

Even worse, the red soup from the strainer dripped onto Bai Xizhu's clothes.

The glistening red broth emitted an aroma that made one's mouth water.

Bai Xizhu: ...

Thank you!

Zhang Yiming calmly replied and then buried himself in his food.

Bai Xizhu shook her head slightly.

My boyfriend isn't as good as beef or meatballs, so I've decided to rely on myself.

Bai Xizhu held her chopsticks and reached into the pot.

One scoop, and it was empty.

Leng Yebai's two wicked spoons had already scooped all the ingredients out of the pot.

"Xiao Zhu, what do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

Leng Yebai looked at Bai Xizhu with a doting expression, holding a strainer to help her scoop things out.

"Either is fine." Bai Xizhu looked at the strainer calmly.

Leng Yebai's lips curled up slightly. Hmm, his little Zhu's temper is quite good.
