So everyone took their seats: those who wanted spicy hot pot sat together, those who couldn't eat spicy food sat together, and those who wanted both spicy and mushroom hot pot sat together.

Ye Lingfeng suddenly felt helpless and stood to one side.

He actually felt that he was very impolite. Why did he come running over here when Ye Xiaoxi and Ye Aotian were having dinner?

Before he knew it, Jack and the Earl had brought him to the terrace.

He stood there feeling extremely awkward, but he was really hungry. After all, he had been forced to drink nutrient solutions and received heart stimulants to keep himself alive in the dungeon all day.

Ye Aotian and Ye Xiaoxi had just helped him restore his bodily functions, and now he was really hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for ten thousand years.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but the only thing he had was a cotton robe that Ye Xiaoxi had just given him. It seemed that there was no food or even water in the base.

However, he can definitely find nutrient solution. Hasn't he been given enough nutrient solution in the dungeon over the past six months?

Ye Lingfeng's stomach suddenly started rumbling loudly, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Boss, what are you still standing there for? Come and sit down."

Jack and the Earl stood up and pulled Ye Lingfeng to their hot pot table, forcibly pressing him into a comfortable folding chair.

Just then, he noticed Ye Xiaoxi at the next table looking over at him.

"Ye Xiaoxi, how much did this hot pot meal cost? I'll pay you back when we get out."

Xiaoxi's face immediately turned cold. "You want to calculate everything so precisely for me?"

Ye Aotian, standing beside him, had an even colder expression.

"Why do you have to say such jarring things when everyone's having such a good time? If I said this meal costs tens of thousands of yuan, could you accept that?"

Xiao Xi felt a surge of secret pleasure when she heard her older brother criticize Ye Lingfeng.

Although she didn't laugh out loud, her gloating eyes were impossible to hide, as if to say, "You're telling me to cause trouble."

Ye Lingfeng was speechless after being asked by Ye Aotian. His face flushed red, even more so than a pig's liver.

Aite Jack and the Earl were both embarrassed. When did their boss become so petty?

"What are you saying, boss? Xiaoxi and Mr. Ye went through a lot of trouble to save you. Are you going to argue with them over a meal?"

We were able to eat our fill after following Mr. Ye, and we never made any sarcastic remarks.

We're all brothers, why be so formal about eating and drinking together?

Ye Lingfeng suddenly couldn't respond. No matter how strong-willed he was, he was still just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

Besides, he had just been ridiculed by Ye Aotian, but it was all his own fault, so he stuck his neck out like a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

"Although I don't have any money right now, I will work hard to earn it back to pay you back when I go out."

Ye Aotian didn't care about his little bit of money. He knew that Ye Lingfeng was already penniless and had no money to spare.

However, he still grunted heavily through his nose and didn't give Ye Lingfeng a second glance.

Xiao Xi didn't want Ye Lingfeng to spoil everyone's fun; such a person wasn't worth ruining her good mood.

"Everyone, please try this! This is a hot pot that my second brother specially prepared for our trip to Southeast Asia. He's a master chef; people outside the country can only dream of eating his dishes. Everyone, eat as much as you can!"
