"Meow~"
A shadow zipped by, and Lu Xiaohei landed steadily on the stool, curiously poking his head towards the basin.
"Hey hey! No cats allowed on the table!"
Lucas, quick on his feet, pinched the back of Xiao Hei's neck and placed him on the pickup's trunk, reluctantly opening a can of fish meat to divert his attention.
Xiao Hei remained silent, plopped down, and quietly gazed at the metal basin on the stool nearby, his long tail slightly swaying.
"Alright, you dig in first, save me some."
"Then I won't hold back."
Even before the words left his mouth, Lin Chen had already grabbed a plump piece of oyster meat, dipping it into the garlic sauce and stuffing it whole into his mouth after ensuring it was covered in more sauce.
Unlike yesterday's plain garlic flavor, the taste began with a thick butter and spicy aroma; the concentrated hotpot base sauce mixed with the garlic sauce almost masked the hotpot base taste, leaving just a pure numb, spicy, fresh, and fragrant sensation.
