The spicy pot restaurant was half-full, the whirring of the fans mingling with the gossip of the girls and the sound of the aunt dragging chairs across the floor.
An aunt in a red apron brought over a pot, raising it above her head while shouting, "Make way, be careful not to get burnt!~"
"Make way, be careful not to get burnt."
"B11, yes, that's yours. I'll go get your rice." The aunt slammed the pot down between Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu, causing the bamboo basket holding the pot to tilt awkwardly.
This sudden action cut off Lu Cheng's words mid-sentence as he hurriedly tidied up the glasses in front of him, "Do you often order takeaway? I remember you were quite a good cook?"
Mu Nanshu and Lu Cheng grew up in the town, both attending elementary and middle school there.
The town was considered semi-rural back then, Mu Nanshu's parents were away for business, leaving her responsible for buying groceries and cooking.
