Chapter 91 Shura Field (Part 2)
Liberi lifted the lid of the enamel pot, and steam rose out, filling the air with fragrance.
"Is it hot pot?"
She had mentioned it casually to Libery once before, and he had remembered it.
"Come and see, is this the way to eat it?"
Qiao Susu leaned over and saw that there were more than ten plates on the table. Each one contained her favorite ingredients. Although they were not quite the same as the ingredients in the real world, they were pretty close.
"Ash, I haven't had hot pot in a long time. Thank you."
Seeing her sweet smile, Liberi's mood also brightened, and he didn't mind that she invited everyone in the room to eat hotpot.
After Luka finished feeding the four little lions, he came downstairs and saw that the usually empty restaurant was now filled with people. The table was rectangular, with an enamel pot in the center, surrounded by plates of ingredients ready to be put into the pot. Qiao Susu was, of course, sitting in the center, facing the pot, with Liberi sitting next to her on the left. Qiao Susu saw Luka, smiled, and patted the seat to her right, motioning for him to come sit. Luka walked over, glanced at Sang Yan as he passed by, and sat down.
Karl's eyes turned, and he walked around the dining table with his long legs and sat down opposite Qiao Susu.
Ge Meilun scratched his head and asked, "There's a spot right where you were standing, why did you go around in such a big circle?"
Karl glanced at him sideways, crossed his legs and said, "I'm hungry, so I have to sit in front of the pot. Do you have any objections?"
This was a bit of a cover-up, and Luca and Liberi both looked at Carl. Aside from Qiao Suisui, no one else at the table had any interest in hot pot. So, how could Carl, always on the road, have such a craving for food? Bullshit.
Gai Meilun wanted to retort, but Sang Yan raised his hand to stop him. He smiled politely and sat diagonally opposite Qiao Susu so that he could get her the food she couldn't reach.
A Yao was big in build and took up two seats by himself. He sat next to Carl, and there was some distance between them, which made Carl look a little petite.
Gai Meilun's eyes rolled around twice and he sat between Karl and Sang Yan.
He will protect his brother Yan!
He had figured out the misunderstanding last time. It turned out that Brother Yan liked young females. Well, he had been worrying for several days in vain, wondering what to do if Brother Yan liked men. The dragon clan could not be without descendants.
This meal would be a good opportunity to bring Brother Yan and the young female closer together, and also help Brother Yan test the waters. The more Gai Meilun thought about it, the heavier the responsibility on his shoulders seemed to be.
During a meal, everyone has different thoughts while eating.
Only Qiao Susu was simply experiencing the joy of hot pot.
She started with a plate of thin meat rolls. Libery always gave her the best. She had no idea where this enamel pot had come from, but it looked exquisite and beautiful. The food cooked in it was truly different from anything cooked in an ordinary pot. Qiao Suisui had always been particular about her food, and with such a ceremonial hot pot meal and such a lively atmosphere, her drinking culture instincts immediately emerged.
"It's been a while since we've had so many people together for dinner. Shall we have a toast?"
She was a little shy, holding a large beer glass that was bigger than her face on her slender wrist. It was filled with juice. At this moment, her black eyes were shining with anticipation and happiness.
Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Luka also relaxed a little. He imitated her and said "cheers", but replaced the large beer cup in her hand with a milk cup.
Everyone clinked their glasses, seven cups clinking together with a resounding sound. Steam rose from the pot, and the warm yellow light shone on the dining table, creating a truly cozy family atmosphere.
Liberi placed the meat rolls and bok choy in her bowl, while Luka added more vegetables to the pot. Carl said nothing, swallowing a few mouthfuls, panting from the heat. He looked like he was simply there for a free meal. Ayao waited in line with a small bowl for his meat. Gai Meilun tried a meat roll; it was bland. She didn't understand why the little female liked to eat such things.
"You're going to eat it with dip. Like this."
Qiao Sui Sui taught them how to season the food on the spot. Although she lacked sesame paste, she was already very satisfied. Everyone tried it using the method she taught them, and it really tasted much better than before.
Sang Yan saw that she was sweating while eating, so he put a tissue in front of her.
When everyone had almost finished eating, Gai Meilun suggested, "This is so boring, why don't we play some games?"
Qiao Suisui asked with a smile, "Isn't this truth or dare?"
"What game is that?"
Seeing the bewilderment in Luka's eyes, she thought the beastmen had never heard of this game. So she explained the rules of Truth or Dare to everyone in detail.
"Okay! Let's play this!" Gai Meilun slammed the table excitedly. This game is perfect for asking questions.
As long as Qiao Susu is happy, no one has any objection.
A Yao took an empty wine bottle as he was told and twisted it on the table. The empty bottle began to rotate, and finally the bottle mouth slowly stopped in front of Liberi.
"Ash, now you can choose to ask anyone here." Qiao Suisui said.
Libery smiled, looked at Qiao Suisui, and asked in a very ambiguous tone: "I choose you. Truth or Dare?"
When this question was asked, mixed with some unconcerned charm, Carl's face darkened a little. Ge Meilun secretly glanced at Sang Yan and saw that his expression did not change. Luka was still sitting facing the dining table, looking at a plate of lettuce, not knowing what he was thinking.
Qiao Suisui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'm the host, you can't choose me."
Libery pinched her face lightly and said, "How can this be? Are you taking advantage of us because we don't know the rules? Are you being shameless?"
Qiao Sui Sui refused to admit it and asked him to change someone else. Liberi smiled and agreed. He looked at Carl and Sang Yan across from him and said, "Carl."
Libery's demeanor was completely different from when he had just spoken to Qiao Suisui. He had completely lost that clingy vibe. He leaned back in his chair, raised his chin slightly, stared at Carl sitting across from him, and asked, "Truth or Dare?"
Karl smiled playfully, his eyes neither avoiding nor dodging, and raised his eyebrows to answer: "The truth."
"Your injuries are almost healed. When will you return to the Federation?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Susu looked at Karl, and then she remembered that he was injured by Zong Fang and even showed his beast form.
Kalpi smiled intently, looking at Liberi with sharp eyes. He said, "I'm just working for the Federation, not selling it to them. I'll see to it when I return."
For a moment, the atmosphere was full of tension.
Qiao Susu looked at Libery and then at Carl. She wondered what had happened between the two of them and why they were suddenly so tense.
Luka gave her a meatball to divert her attention.
"Be careful of the heat."
"Oh, okay."
Gai Meilun coughed twice and said quickly, "Okay, next one now."
Liberi turned the bottle, twisting it with his hand, and the bottle mouth was aimed precisely at Luka. Only Sang Yan noticed his little move, but he said nothing.
"Luka, it's your turn to ask." Qiao Susu looked at him curiously, wondering what he would ask.
