"I've only ever eaten hot pot at Haidilao. It's incredibly expensive, but the service is excellent. I was there with friends, and when they heard it was my friend's birthday, they sang 'Happy Birthday' right there and then. It was so awkward."

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

"When it comes to hot pot, Caiyun City really gets excited. Don't think we only have mushrooms, okay?"

"Oh~ red umbrella, white pole, let's lie down on the board after eating~?"

"Why do your words have a sound!"

"Speaking of culinary deserts, if I mention three cities, two of them will jump up and curse me: one is Kyoto, and the other is..."

The live stream chat was ablaze with discussion, and even after Yin Zhu finished lunch, the chat hadn't reached a conclusion. After all, when it comes to food, there's no inherent superiority or inferiority; different people have different tastes, so it was a free-for-all with everyone having their own preferences.

Finally, the comments section returned to the most traditional "sweet vs. savory" debate, with both sides arguing heatedly, while the "spicy" faction took advantage of the chaos and had a great time.

After washing the dishes, Yin Zhu tidied up and prepared to go to work.

The afternoon's work was almost no different from the morning's, which made Yin Zhu a little bored. After refusing the old man's invitation to join for the third time, Yin Zhu took out the rules again and began to analyze them seriously, trying to make the rules more interesting.

"Little girl, what are you looking at?"

Grandma Sun came again, with a grain of rice still on the corner of her mouth, as if she had just finished eating.

"There's a grain of rice on the corner of your mouth," Yin Zhu said bluntly.

Granny Sun was somewhat surprised. She wiped her mouth and began to scrutinize Yin Zhu again: "Young lady, haven't I seen you before?"

“You were talking to me this morning.”

Yin Zhu suspected that the old lady might have Alzheimer's disease, but seeing that Grandma Sun was already so old, it didn't seem so strange that she had Alzheimer's. But is this really the manifestation of Alzheimer's disease?

Yin Zhu wasn't sure, since none of the elderly people in her family had this disease.

"Really? I don't remember."

Grandma Sun smiled and shook her head. Leaning on her cane, she sat down shakily next to Yin Zhu and said with a sigh, "The river of life is so desolate. It seems that every time a wave rises, it can cover up the past."

"Your rhyme is really good," Yin Zhu remarked with admiration.

Regardless of what kind of person this old lady was in the past, she must have been quite educated, and might even have been a high-IQ criminal. It's a pity that she has now fallen into the hands of the city lord.

“Some of these words are just from the heart,” Grandma Sun replied with a smile. “But you, little girl, being too lively isn’t a good thing. It might attract the attention of small animals. After all, those who haven’t grown old yet are the only hope for the nursing home.”

"Indeed, young people are the future."

Yin Zhu nodded, having no objection to these words, which further reinforced her perception of youth.

Grandma Sun neither objected nor supported, but continued to talk to herself: "In fact, everyone's life will end in death, but I don't want to think about it and pray that this day will be delayed forever. Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking."

"Perhaps you could try praying to the gods and Buddhas. I used to work at a kindergarten, and their statues were quite effective; they could keep you young forever."

Yin Zhu absolutely did not mean to mock Bai Hai for not getting old for decades.

"Sooner or later, you will also grow old and die..." Grandma Sun completely ignored Yin Zhu's words.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Yin Zhu didn't listen to what Granny Sun said: "I'm only eighteen. I'll think about it when I'm eighty-eight. My parents always tell me to work hard while I'm young, and now I think that makes a lot of sense. I'm still young, so I should have more of an adventurous spirit."

The main point is to avoid talking to each other like chickens and ducks.

Seeing that Yin Zhu was completely unaffected by her words, Granny Sun's expression remained unchanged, only her tone turned a little colder, though her words were still gentle: "Your mindset is really good. I hope you can continue to maintain it. It is indeed a method. Well then, I'll take my leave..."

If Yin Zhu hadn't been keeping her attention focused on her, she would have easily overlooked this subtle difference. Grandma Sun's tone seemed to be for Yin Zhu's benefit, but in reality, she was subtly guiding her thinking.

After seeing Granny Sun off, Yin Zhu sneered, "Is she trying to drag me into this? You can try."
