Gem Atkinson took the waiting card handed over by the female classmate and said, "Thank you. You all will definitely be happy too."
Forsythia Brown was left speechless: Gem, do you have no shame?
The hall was already filled with people, bustling with activity.
Gem finally understood why this little woman liked to come here to eat hot pot.
It must be for the lively atmosphere.
He, on the other hand, has always disliked hot pot. Seeing these people eating until they're sweating profusely made him feel even more uncomfortable.
They arrived at just the right time, a window seat had just been vacated.
After sitting down, looking out the window at the people hurrying in the early snow, Gem felt much calmer.
Forsythia was more experienced, so she took the initiative and ordered plenty.
Shortly after, a bubbling hot pot soup pot was brought up. One half filled with red chili oil, the other half plain.
"I know you don't like spicy, so we can share," Forsythia said.
