Feng Yi sent a message to Bai Lu to ask about ordering dinner.
They weren't booking New Year's Eve dinner at a hotel, but Bai Lu had mentioned before that they could order dishes in advance and have them delivered to their home.
Bai Lu had recently been helping out at his family's restaurants, wherever he was needed, he would be dispatched. At this moment, he managed to sneak a break and was slurping on a sweet soup in the rest room.
The sweet soup they referred to here wasn't just sugar or brown sugar mixed with water, but a term for certain desserts in the area.
When Bai Lu took a break, he would make a bowl of sweet soup to his taste, adding ingredients as he pleased. He was picky about his food, and the sweet soup he made varied depending on the time of day, and his mood also affected the choice of ingredients.
