There was a gourmet food court on the fourth floor. As it was dinner time, there were many people going in and out. An Xiaoyan saw a hot pot restaurant with instant-boiled mutton and went straight in.
Sitting at the table, he ordered the spiciest hot pot and a lot of meat, and decided he'd treat himself better.
When the meat was served, An Xiaoyan placed it directly into the spiciest hot pot and ate it once it was cooked. On the side was a bowl of vinegar, which he used to dip the meat in. It tasted spicy and sour at the same time.
The spicy and sour taste overwhelmed the numbness and sadness in his heart. The sensory stimulation made him feel much better.
He ate five plates full of meat. As soon as the fifth plate was finished, An Xiaoyan ran straight to the toilet and vomited. His stomach was not strong and could not handle such stimulating food.
