Perhaps, due to the rain, the restaurant was surprisingly busy even though it wasnt dinner time. As soon as Yu Gangan and Fang Zhihan stepped inside, they saw plenty of steaming pots of soup, emitting a fragrant scent that made one drool with gluttony.

The couple quickly found a quiet booth to sit in.

Youre treating today, Yu Gangan said as she looked at the menu. She then ordered a half-and-half soup base from the waiter.

But, before the waiter took the order, Fang Zhihan said, Just the clear soup base, please.

Yu Gangan put down the menu and looked at Fang Zhihan unhappily, Why are you ordering the clear soup base only? We can get the half-and-half and you can avoid the spicy side if you dont want to eat it.

Fang Zhihan looked at the woman and asked, Arent you a doctor? As a doctor, dont you know that a newly discharged patient should eat light flavors for a while?

This serious attitude surprised Yu Gangan a little. Was he worried about her?

She gently pressed her lips together and replied, Since were having hotpot, why should we be concerned about that?

Fang Zhihan objected coldly, No.

Yu Gangan gently furrowed her brows, But, hotpots not nice if its not spicy.

Then, lets not eat it, Fang Zhihan said calmly.

Fine, lets just have the clear soup.

Yu Gangan acted indifferently, but inside, she was thinking, even if the soup wasnt spicy, she could always put some chilis in her sauce later.

After placing their order, Yu Gangan went to mix her sauce and placed a whole heap of chilis inside.

But, as soon as she placed it on the table, Fang Zhihan immediately took it away.

Go mix one without chili. He was even stopping her from placing chilis in her sauce.

If I cant have this, then the hotpot wont have any flavor. I might as well eat boiled vegetables, Yu Gangan couldnt accept this as she looked at the man with annoyance.

Fang Zhihan stared straight into her eyes, You cant eat spicy food.

Yu Gangan stared at the man. Seeing that he wasnt compromising, she revealed a soft and gentle smile, Its already been a few days since I left the hospital. Im already fine. Plus, Ive been eating very clean food. This is my first time having hotpot.

Fang Zhihan squinted his eyes and remained firm on his decision.

Yu Gangan fluttered her eyelids and raised a finger, Just this once.

Fang Zhihan remained unfazed.

Just as Yu Gangan thought Fang Zhihan wasnt buckling and was about to argue back, Fang Zhihan suddenly said, OK.

Yu Gangans eyes lit up and immediately grabbed the sauce bowl.

But, Fang Zhihan brushed her hand away, Put fewer chilis.

OK, OK! Yu Gangan immediately nodded. As long as she was allowed to have some spice, she was happy.

After the waiter brought the soup base and ingredients, Yu Gangan placed the lamb, beef, tofu skin, fungus, mushroomstraight into the pot. She then asked Fang Zhihan, What would you like? Ill help you put it in.

Youve already filled the pot. Whats the point of asking me? Fang Zhihan scooped a bowl of bone soup and passed it to Yu Gangan, Have some soup first before you eat.

I was just being polite. Youre going to eat whatever I place in the pot anyway. Thats how hotpot is like

As Yu Gangan drank the soup, she waited for the ingredients to cook.

And, as soon as she lifted the lid off the pot, she immediately started eating. She picked out a piece of lamb that had been cooked in the bone soup, dipped it in her sauce and placed it in her mouth. It was fragrant and spicy, a flavor worth savoring and enjoying.
