The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

"I'm back."

Huang Jia checked the time and said:

"It's about time, we can go now."

"OK!"

Bai Ye led Huang Jia downstairs, got in the car, and headed towards the place Huang Jia and Liu Yingying had agreed upon.

We arrived at a hot pot restaurant.

Kanye's Secret Recipe Hot Pot.

Are you planning to have hot pot for your get-together?

Bai Ye asked in surprise.

"What, you can't eat spicy food?" Huang Jia said, "How about you have a hot pot with two broths later?"

“Of course I can eat it,” Bai Ye said. “I don’t have any dietary restrictions; I can eat anything. I’m not picky at all.”

Huang Jia: "That's good."

Upon arriving at the door, Liu Yingying greeted us with a smile:

"You've finally arrived."

"Come on, everyone's been waiting for you!"

Bai Ye and Liu Yingying led them to a private room and took their seats.

It's certainly lively here.

Captain Liu Changjian brought his family, Captain Liang Dong brought his girlfriend, Xu Yichen was single, and the other flight attendants, including Yang Hui, also brought their boyfriends.

"Huang Jia, you guys are the last ones here! You'll have to drink a penalty shot later!"

Zhang Qiuyue shouted with a smile.

"No problem!"

Huang Jia spoke with great confidence:

"You all know my drinking capacity. Look at us tonight, who's crying all the way home."

In fact, Huang Jia is a tough girl from Northeast China. Drinking alcohol... isn't that like drinking water to her?

Huang Jia sat down next to Zhou Yawen, with Bai Ye beside him.

"Zhou Zhou, are you alright?"

Huang Jia noticed that Zhou Yawen's face was still slightly pale and asked.

“I told you long ago that it was nothing serious, but you wouldn’t believe me.” Zhou Yawen laughed. “When I got to the hospital, I had all sorts of tests done, and the doctor just told me to rest well, not to overwork myself, and to take more vitamins.”

"I'm glad you're alright."

Huang Jia said, "You have no idea, when you collapsed, I was almost scared to death."

Once everyone was present, they introduced themselves. They were all colleagues and their family members, and after exchanging greetings, the awkward atmosphere between strangers quickly dissipated.

The waiter started serving the food.

Among the flight attendants, Zhang Qiuyue is from Chengdu, Sichuan, and she even explained the history of hot pot here.

Sichuan hot pot can be broadly divided into two schools: Chengdu style and Chongqing style. Chengdu style is subtle yet potent, while Chongqing style is bold and assertive. The hot pot here, made with Kanye's secret recipe, is a Chengdu specialty with a rich and mellow flavor, the numbing spiciness subtly embedded in the beef tallow. It not only preserves the authentic taste of Sichuan hot pot but also balances the differences between northern and southern flavors, making the numbing and spicy flavors in the beef tallow robust yet restrained, satisfying the taste preferences of diners from different regions.

As Zhang Qiuyue spoke, the dishes were served: nine-foot goose intestines, snowflake beef, hydrangea mushrooms, braised beef hooves, Kanye's bite-sized meat, Kanye's golden and silver steamed buns, nine-second lotus root, Kanye's king beef liver, and fresh shrimp cooked only as a topping.

These look like very good ingredients.

"Shall we all have a drink?"

"Have a drink!"

When you go out to have fun, it's all about having fun and releasing stress. How can you not drink?

"It's a pleasure to be on this flight mission with everyone. Cheers!"

"cheers!"

The atmosphere was quite lively with everyone enjoying the hot pot.

Bai Ye ate tripe and whispered to Huang Jia:

"It seems like only Zhou Yawen and Xu Yichen are single and didn't bring anyone with them. Why didn't Sister Yingying bring any family either? Could it be that she's still unmarried at her age?"

"Don't gossip about women's ages!" Huang Jia secretly pinched Bai Ye and said, "Of course Yingying is married, and her child is already in elementary school! It's just that... her family situation is a bit bad right now, so she's not bringing her family!"

Bai Ye: "Why is that?"

Huang Jia: "How would I know? It's probably because Sister Yingying is too busy with work, or something like that... Anyway, Sister Yingying had advised us before that we should focus more on our families and not just think about work, otherwise, no matter how successful we are in our careers, it won't prevent our families from breaking apart."

Xu Yichen watched Huang Jia and Bai Ye whispering intimately, his eyes filled with despair. He realized that there was no hope left for him and Huang Jia.

Besides being more handsome, richer, and more talented than him, he's also a superhuman, a super strong man who can tear apart thunderclouds with his bare hands!

Upon returning to China, because they witnessed Bai Ye's actions, relevant departments with extremely high authority immediately came to his door, conducting multiple investigations on him, Captain Liu Changjian, and Captain Liang Dong, and signing confidentiality agreements that were almost as stringent as his own.

This shows what?

He could roughly guess that it was roughly equivalent to a special department with a license to kill, like the Dragon Group in movies and novels.

"Since ancient times, those who are deeply in love have only been left with regrets, and these regrets will never end!"

He could only keep his head down and drink alone.

While Bai Ye and Huang Jia were gossiping, Liu Yingying returned to the private room from outside. Bai Ye quickly sat up straight, picked up a thin slice of beef, dipped it in the red oil broth, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm...it tastes really good. It's not very spicy, but it's very fragrant. Huang Jia, you should try it."

"I think I just heard you talking about me. What were you saying? Were you talking badly about me behind my back?"

Liu Yingying walked in and smiled.

"Of course not." Bai Ye laughed. "I just mean, Sister Yingying, you look a lot like someone I saw in a photo at a friend's place before?"

"is it?"

Liu Yingying asked curiously:

"So, what's your friend's name? Maybe I know him!"

Bai Ye: "Ma Haohan."

Liu Yingying: "..."

"What, Sister Yingying, you actually know Bai Ye's cronies?"

Huang Jia blinked and asked.

"Hehe..." Liu Yingying smiled and said, "Ma Haohan is like my half-brother..."

Bai Ye looked at Liu Yingying in surprise. He had only said it casually, but it turned out to be true...

What a coincidence!

Huang Jia: "...Sister Yingying, I'm sorry, I misspoke. But... what does 'half-brothers' mean?"

Liu Yingying said, "That is to say, he is my stepfather's son. His father and my mother remarried, while he and his mother continued to live together. When I was a child, I was very curious about this son of my stepfather, so I wrote letters to him and became pen pals... I have almost forgotten what happened after that. I only remember that I played a game of billiards with him in the end, and then we went our separate ways and never saw or contacted each other again."

It's obvious that Liu Yingying was being somewhat reluctant to speak out against the truth, because Ma Haohan's father, her stepfather, was a complete scumbag who abandoned his wife and children, faked his death to escape, and then had a change of heart. He used Liu Yingying's name to contact Ma Haohan and learn about his son's situation.

"Bai Ye, are you Ma Haohan's friend?" Liu Yingying looked at him and said, "I haven't seen him for more than ten years. How is he doing now?"

After all, the two have been pen pals for over ten years and are also half-siblings. Given these two relationships, it's not unreasonable for them to inquire about each other's situation and show some concern.

"Ah, this..."

Bai Ye was embarrassed. He had just made up a story on the spot. He didn't know Ma Haohan at all!

"We've known each other for several years, but we haven't been in touch recently, so I don't know."

Bai Ye said:

"However, I can try to inquire about it for you later, Sister Yingying."

Liu Yingying smiled and shook her head, saying:

"Let's just forget about it. He does have friends all over the world and likes to travel around. He's been out of contact for several years. Who knows where he's gone?"

"drink wine!"

Bai Ye raised his glass, clinked it with Liu Yingying's, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Huang Jia looked at Bai Ye in astonishment, never expecting that the person Bai Ye had made up could actually be connected to Liu Yingying...

"Brother Baiye, let me toast you. If it weren't for you, I might have passed out in the cabin."

Zhou Yawen raised her glass and smiled.

"You're too kind." Bai Ye smiled. "We're all friends, isn't it only natural to help each other out?"

The two raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank them down in one gulp.

Captain Liu Changjian and Captain Liang Dong also stood up and toasted Bai Ye. Although they spoke rather vaguely, it was definitely because of Bai Ye's help.

Baiye welcomes all who come.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests.

In the end, even though they were only drinking light alcohol, almost everyone who was drinking was quite drunk.

Fortunately, Bai Ye and Huang Jia both had a good alcohol tolerance and didn't get drunk. In addition, one of Liu Changjian's family members and his boyfriend/girlfriend was still sober, and Zhou Yawen and the other girls were careful not to drink too much. So Bai Ye and Huang Jia took taxis and hired drivers to send them away one by one.

"Bai Ye, come and help me to Sister Yingying."

Huang Jia said to Bai Ye:

"I didn't expect that Sister Yingying, who looks so thin, would be so heavy when she's drunk."

"OK!"
