Upon receiving Chen Ningxi's call, Liang Lei promptly left her office. Winter is the best season for hot pot. The spicy scent of the hot pot soup base upon entering the restaurant instantly lifted her spirits post-overtime.
"Over here." Chen Ningxi waved at the entrance.
Liang Lei walked in with a big smile. The hot pot restaurant was packed in the evenings, and the only seats Chen Ningxi managed to secure were in a corner at the back.
"Have you been waiting long?"
Chen Ningxi: "Not really, I just got here."
Liang Lei took the menu Chen Ningxi handed her, which already had some dishes marked. She picked a few of her favorites, then called the waiter, "We'll have these, please serve them."
Waiter: "Would you like any drinks?"
Liang Lei: "Bring us a light beer."
Chen Ningxi: "I'm not drinking, I have a headache today. Just bring the complimentary juice, a pot of orange juice."
Liang Lei looked surprised, "Not drinking?"
Chen Ningxi hummed affirmatively, looking listless.
