Hua Manman and her two companions wandered around the State Duke Mansion for half the day.
As lunchtime approached, Hua Manman made a point of having hot pot for lunch.
She deliberately had the hot pot set up right outside the window of Princess Rouwan's bedchamber.
That's right—it was the same spot where they'd had their barbecue that morning!
The grill they had used for the barbecue was still there.
Hua Manman ordered the charcoal to be lit, the pot to be set on the frame, and the hot pot base and broth to be poured in. Time to cook!
Feihua Zhenren came looking for Hua Manman, intending to ask why she had sought him out that morning.
But the moment he arrived, his attention was completely captured by the hot pot.
He asked in shock.
"You're eating hot pot on a day this hot?"
Instead of answering, Hua Manman countered with a question of her own. "Want some?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Feihua Zhenren plopped down right next to the hot pot.
"Absolutely!"
