"Order two, then."
"Mo Yan, can I order this short rib shoulder? It's so expensive, 198!"
"Sure, if you want to eat, why don't you order it?"
"Is this yellow throat also okay?"
"Sure, you decide!"
"Mo Yan, then all your travel allowance will be spent by me."
"Then spend it!"
…
Xiao Xingyu specifically picked the expensive ones and asked Zhang Moyan for her opinion before ordering each dish. But which of the prices in this hot pot restaurant could really be called "expensive" to him?
So, his seemingly polite actions somehow felt like teasing a decent girl, a test of his importance in Zhang Moyan's heart. His questions were practically equivalent to "Moyan, can I touch your hair?", "Can I touch your hand?", "Can I kiss you?"
However, despite his obvious arrogance, Zhang Moyan answered his questions patiently, always agreeing with a faint smile on her face, without caring whether the food he ordered was too much, too exaggerated, or too wasteful to be eaten.
A beautiful woman with a calm look and who seems unfamiliar with everyone lies down and allows herself to be teased.
Zhou Xia and Geng Jun, who were sitting opposite each other and witnessed everything, seemed to understand Xiao Xingyu's happiness.
Taking into consideration Xiao Xingyu's dietary restrictions, they ordered a double-boiled hotpot, with half tomato soup and half mushroom soup. Soon, the pile of meat and vegetable dishes that Xiao Xingyu had ordered were also served on the table.
The popular hot pot restaurant was bustling with customers flitting about, grabbing dipping sauce, and the waiters were incredibly loud. This environment didn't suit the well-dressed Xiao Xingyu, Zhou Xia, and Geng Jun, but it was precisely this casual atmosphere that naturally relaxed people.
Since Xiao Xingyu had an inconvenient right hand, he happily waited for Zhang Moyan to feed him. He was responsible for observing the maturity of the ingredients after they were put into the pot so that he could take them out at the best temperature.
When the sixth hand-beaten shrimp ball was scooped into Zhang Moyan's bowl, Zhang Moyan was stunned and couldn't help but remind Xiao Xingyu: "There are a total of 8 shrimp balls. If you give them all to me, others won't be able to eat them."
"I see you like to eat it," Xiao Xingyu glanced at him and said innocently, "It's not like they don't have spoons, they can scoop it out too!"
There's really no way to refute that.
Hearing this, Geng Jun and Zhou Xia both moved. Geng Jun took it upon himself to give the last two shrimp balls to Zhou Xia: "Eat more."
Zhou Xia blinked her beautiful eyes. Ever since Geng Jun revealed his identity, the two of them had been feeling a little awkward. Now that Geng Jun had taken the initiative to show his affection, she was of course very happy. However, she couldn't help but touch her stomach which had already eaten some cabbage and mushrooms. She had never eaten something as sinful as hot pot at night.
"Stop dieting," Geng Jun chuckled, and handed Zhou Xia another piece of rice cake. "If you get sick from dieting, you'll have to come to me for treatment."
Zhou Xia suddenly seemed to recall something, opened his eyes wide at Geng Jun, and then lowered his head obediently to eat the food in the bowl.
This change made Xiao Xingyu and Zhang Moyan very curious about what Zhou Xia experienced during the days he stayed in the hospital.
After finishing her meal, Zhou Xia reciprocated by boiling a thin slice of tripe for Geng Jun. The two of them chatted back and forth, quickly becoming addicted to the interaction. Both Zhou Xia and Geng Jun were incredibly handsome; if recorded, this scene would have been a hot pot restaurant commercial.
Xiao Xingyu devoured a fish ball like a prince, "Zhou Xia, the day after tomorrow, why don't you just take your household registration booklet and go back to Shenhai with Geng Jun? You can set up your own studio, or I can introduce you to a research institute. When you have papers and masterpieces, just bring them back to Xiaosheng. It doesn't matter where you live and work."
"That's what I planned too." Zhou Xia held up her chopsticks, a little excited that Xiao Xingyu thought the same as she did.
"no!"
Amidst the joy, Geng Jun suddenly spoke.
He maintained the posture of picking up a piece of beef from the hot pot, with a stern expression, as if he was holding a scalpel instead of chopsticks.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xingyu put down the spoon.
Zhou Xia was stunned for a moment, then asked Geng Jun hesitantly, "Don't you want me to go to Shenhai?"
"Of course not," Geng Jun put the beef into Zhou Xia's bowl, then put down his chopsticks, looked directly at Xiao Xingyu, and said solemnly, "Zhou Xia will be a member of the Geng family from now on. Her future research and works will of course belong to our Geng family."
Zhou Xia was stunned for a moment, then blushed.
Xiao Xingyu frowned and thought to himself: The Geng family is really annoying!

?I have so many plots in my mind,

But I don't want to code.

It's not that I don't like coding

I don't like typing every day.

It’s been more than four months, why can’t the computer learn to type by itself?

They haven't returned to Shenhai yet.

I have arranged so many plots in Ruzhou alone,

I just checked my memo. Oh my god, there are so many plots after returning to Shenhai, and they are all important...

The planned 700,000 words may not be enough for me to write.

Ah!!! (Black bear roars)

I want to present the whole plot, but I am a little tired of typing.

Shark me!
