A white Land Rover stopped, and a young man in his twenties jumped out of the car, wearing a peaked cap and a tracksuit.
The young man got out of the car and looked at Chen Mo and the pot, "What's this?"
Chen Mo said, "Hotpot."
"Is hotpot supposed to be this color?"
The young man curiously walked over and smelled it, "Why does it smell so strong of meat? Is this braised meat?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Braised meat hotpot."
The young man took another sniff and seemed to talk to himself, "It does smell quite nice."
He then left the parking lot, squeezed into the woods along the path, and disappeared from Chen Mo's view.
Chen Mo was puzzled, continued to brew tea and eat meat, enjoying the aroma of both, "Maybe this is the meaning of life."
...
Hui Ke walked to the entrance of Haiyue Temple, took off his jeans and sweatshirt, and removed his hat.
He revealed the long robe underneath, with nine distinct spots on top of his head, looking like stickers.
"You're back."
"I'm back."
