For a moment, everyone looked at each other.
Looking at the menu in front of her, Qi Yue recalled an unpleasant memory from the start of the school year. She coughed lightly and said, "Um... I think it's better not to order the extra spicy broth. The mala broth will be fine."
Qian Duoduo immediately chimed in, "That's right, what kind of extra spicy? How many people here can handle an extra spicy hot pot broth?"
Gu Fan smiled smugly, "I can eat it."
Qian Duoduo rolled her eyes. "You win."
Upon hearing this, Gu Fan's smile deepened, and he was about to show off again when he felt someone kick him from under the table before he could even open his mouth.
The next second, Zhao Tiantian's voice rang in my ears, "There are so many girls here, what are you trying to prove?"
Gu Fan chuckled awkwardly and explained in a low voice, "Sweetie, you like spicy food, so I was just trying to cater to your taste."
Zhao Tiantian rolled her eyes at Gu Fan and said, "Just the spicy hot pot base..."
Lin Mo suddenly interrupted, "Don't you know that you can order a half-and-half pot at a hot pot restaurant?"
Everyone: "..."
Lin Mo nodded to the waiter, "Half extra spicy, half clear broth."
"Ok."
Soon, dishes were served one after another, and as the pot boiled, the rice-cooking competition officially began.
Since they shared a car that morning, Qian Duoduo and Qi Yue, and Cheng Fei and Su Yaya, have spent all their time together except when they went to the toilet.
This surprised Lin Mo greatly.
I initially thought it was just to create a good opportunity for guys to strike up a conversation, but it seems the girls are quite enthusiastic too!
The extremely spicy hot pot broth was only eaten by An Youyu and Zhao Tiantian.
On the other hand, Lin Mo and Gu Fan, who were also from Jingchuan, were enjoying their clear broth hot pot to their hearts' content.
This scene caught Qi Yue's eye, and her expression became extremely strange. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Does Jingchuan only have girls who can eat spicy food?"
Sitting on the other side of An Youyu, Wu You couldn't help but remind her when she saw that An Youyu was using the extremely spicy broth to cook her food: "Little Yu, don't eat so much spicy food. It's bad for your skin and will cause pimples on your face."
"Pimples?"
An Youyu, who was picking up food, paused for a moment and then replied, "No, I've never had acne since I was a child."
Upon hearing this, Wu You's eyes widened. "This...how is this possible?"
Who doesn't get pimples?
Even if you have great skin, it's impossible to never get a pimple!
"I did not lie to you."
An Youyu ate in small bites, explaining indistinctly, "As far back as I can remember, I've always loved spicy food. I'm a true spice lover, so don't worry."
Wu You glanced at An Youyu, then at Zhao Tiantian, and couldn't help but gasp. "Everyone says that people from Jingchuan can handle spicy food, and today I've truly witnessed it firsthand."
Qi Yue chimed in, "Not entirely. Look, Lin Mo and Gu Fan are eating clear broth hot pot just like us, aren't they?"
Reminded by Qi Yue, Wu You finally noticed this and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.
Lin Mo continued eating as if nothing had happened, without offering any explanation.
Gu Fan, who had initially insisted on ordering the extra-spicy hot pot base, became somewhat embarrassed when he noticed Wu You's gaze.
"Sweetie can handle spicy food. I ordered the super spicy one for her, and I can eat that too, but I've been feeling a bit hot lately..."
"If you can't eat it, you can't eat it. What are you pretending for?"
Lin Mo ruthlessly exposed Gu Fan's lie.
As his good brother, how could he not know whether Gu Fan could handle spicy food?
Gu Fan and he have similar tastes; extreme spiciness is a death sentence for this guy!
Gu Fan gave an awkward smile and complained with a bitter face, "Brother Mo, can't you let me pretend for a bit? I'm just trying to save face for the people of Jingchuan."
Lin Mo rolled her eyes at Gu Fan.
After finishing their meal amidst laughter and chatter, the women started chatting, even creating a group chat before parting ways.
Qian Duoduo and Qi Yue also added each other on WeChat, while Cheng Fei and Su Yaya's relationship developed even more rapidly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two of them actually started whispering to each other, with Su Yaya taking the initiative and Cheng Fei blushing and completely passive.
This is something that Qian Duoduo greatly envies.
As expected of the boss!
passive?
What man doesn't like being passive?
After everyone left by car, Lin Mo and An Youyu got into Xu Huang's car.
"Young master, are you going home or back to school?"
"Go to No. 66 Liuhai North Road first."
Hearing the unfamiliar address, Xu Huang was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say anything more.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at No. 66 Liuhai North Road. It was a residential building complex that looked very old and dilapidated, giving it a sense of its age.
In fact, it does.
The residential buildings in this area are at least fifty years old. With development, many of the surrounding buildings have been demolished and rebuilt, leaving only this one residential building that has not yet been planned for demolition.
After getting off the bus, Lin Mo looked at the dilapidated residential building in front of him and couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Compared to luxury estates or detached villas, these communal residential buildings have a more lively and welcoming atmosphere.
His home in Jingchuan used to be in this kind of environment. After moving to a large villa in the suburbs, it took him a long time to get used to it.
No registration is required to enter or exit this kind of community. Lin Mo led An Youyu into the community, and after walking for a short distance, they came across a pavilion. He pulled the girl into the pavilion and sat down, then took out his phone, found Li Hanqin's number, and dialed it.
"Hello, Dr. Li, we are currently in the pavilion near the main gate of your residential complex."
"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."
Less than three minutes after he finished the call, a tall woman wrapped in a down jacket jogged into the pavilion, her eyes scanning Lin Mo up and down.
As the woman sized up Lin Mo, Lin Mo was also sizing her up.
His facial features look ordinary, but he has a special kind of charm.
"Lin Mo?"
"Yes, it's me."
Lin Mo did not remove his mask, but stood up and introduced, "This is my girlfriend, An Youyu."
An Youyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Hello, sister, I am An Youyu."
The sweet, soft voice made Li Hanqin's eyebrows twitch. She couldn't help but glance at An Youyu again and nodded, saying, "I'm Li Hanqin. It's cold outside, let's go to my house first."
A few minutes later, Lin Mo and An Youyu arrived at Li Hanqin's house.
After entering, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Li Hanqin's home...
It's so messy it's almost unbelievable!
Chapter 761 The Evil Permeates the Entire Chapter
Seeing the two standing at the door in a daze, Li Hanqin seemed to realize something, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Um... if I told you that a thief broke into my house last night, would you believe me?"
Lin Mo suppressed the laughter welling up inside him, took off his mask, and said, "We believe it. If Dr. Li dares to say it, then of course we dare to believe it."
Li Hanqin blushed. Lin Mo's words were practically a direct statement that he didn't believe her.
After taking off her mask, An Youyu smiled sweetly and asked, "Sister, do you have slippers or shoe covers?"
Her smile brightened up the dimly lit room considerably.
Li Hanqin looked shocked and quickly walked up to An Youyu. She stared at the face in front of her for a long time before finally exclaiming in amazement, "How come you're even more beautiful in person than in photos?"
She then glanced at Lin Mo and praised him in the same way, "You're even more handsome than in the photos. Seriously, why are you all so incredibly good-looking?"
Lin Mo had a very good impression of Li Hanqin because of her straightforward personality, and replied with a smile, "Dr. Li is joking, you are very beautiful too."
An Youyu nodded in agreement, "Yes, my sister is very pretty too."
"No, please don't flatter me."
Li Hanqin waved her hand, "I wouldn't dare to associate myself with the word 'beautiful' in front of the two of you."
Lin Mo changed the subject, "So, did a thief really break into Dr. Li's house last night?"
"cough--"
Seeing that Lin Mo was deliberately bringing up the topic that she didn't want to broach, Li Hanqin gave him an annoyed look and said, "No, is it alright to say it like this?"
Lin Mo looked suspicious. "Strange, if no thief broke in, why is Dr. Li's house so messy?"
Li Hanqin: "..."
Lin Mo is indeed handsome, but why does he have such a rude mouth?
Do we have to get to the bottom of this?
Seeing Li Hanqin's embarrassment, An Youyu tugged at Lin Mo's arm, "Say less."
Lin Mo didn't say anything more, he just smiled.
After Lin Mo's joke, the awkwardness between the three of them faded considerably.
Li Hanqin pulled An Youyu towards the living room.
"Sister, I haven't changed my shoes yet."
"No need to change."
After sitting down on the sofa, Li Hanqin took An Youyu's hand, squeezed her left wrist, and then let go in an instant. She looked at Lin Mo opposite her with a puzzled expression, "You said on the phone that An Youyu has a cold constitution, right?"
