Lin An ate the mountain of vegetables bit by bit, which took quite a while.

Even after finishing the meal, they drank a bowl of nourishing soup to cleanse themselves.

As he put the empty bowl back on the coffee table, the feeling of fullness spread from the center of his abdomen outwards.

I'm so full.

Lin An rubbed his stomach and turned his head to look at Huo Nianci.

The rice in the small bowl in front of her was barely touched.

Lin An frowned and asked, "Nianci, you don't like these dishes either?"

Huo Nianci glanced down at her almost untouched bowl of rice and shook her head: "I don't like it. I only like An'an's cooking."

She then added, "It's okay, I can just eat a little less."

Lin An watched as she looked down and fiddled with the few slices of green pepper in her bowl, and was about to say something.

Huo Nianci suddenly looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Alright, now it's time for dessert after dinner."

After saying that, she suddenly pulled out a large bucket from the other side of the sofa.

It was a transparent plastic bucket, about the size of a basketball.

Inside were dozens of individually wrapped chocolate cups.

Lin An looked at the bucket full of chocolate cups, and the heavy feeling of fullness in his stomach made him instinctively shrink back: "This is dessert?"

"Yes," Huo Nianci nodded and placed the bucket of chocolate cups on the coffee table.

Lin An rubbed his slightly rounded stomach: "I don't really want to eat..."

Huo Nianci had already reached out and unscrewed the lid of the bucket. She reached into the bucket, took out an individually wrapped chocolate cup, and weighed it in her palm: "An'an has to eat a few no matter what."

Lin An looked at the round little cup in her palm, his stomach still protesting faintly, but he still reached out and took it: "Okay."

He was about to turn it over to find the tear when he saw Huo Nianci putting the lid back on the open bucket.

Lin An quickly said, "Nianci, I haven't gotten the spoon yet!"

Huo Nianci looked up at him and tilted her head slightly: "This chocolate cup doesn't come with a spoon."

Lin An looked down at the chocolate cup wrapped in paper in his hand.

The rim of the cup is smooth and rounded, and there are no bumps or raised edges on the cup wall; the entire surface of the chocolate cup is very smooth.

He looked up at Huo Nianci, puzzled, and asked, "How am I supposed to eat without a spoon?"

"Lick it with your tongue," Huo Nianci said matter-of-factly, "What else?"

Lin An's eyes widened.

He looked at the smooth surface of the chocolate cup in his hand, and then imagined himself lowering his head and licking the cup with his tongue.

The nourishing soup I had just swallowed seemed to flow back up a little bit.

He was about to say, "Can we do it another way?", when Huo Nianci had already taken the chocolate cup back from his hand.

She bent down to unwrap the wrapper and brought the dark brown chocolate cup to her lips.

He gave Lin An a direct demonstration.

Lin An watched as her tongue moved nimbly, and in no time, the chocolate cup was completely clean.

Huo Nianci held the cup up to the light and showed it to Lin An, saying, "Everyone has to eat to this standard."

Lin An looked at the cup in her hand, the one that was almost unrecognizable as having originally been covered in chocolate.

Just as he was about to say, "This standard is too high," Huo Nianci reached out and pinched his mouth shut with her thumb and forefinger.

She said, "I know what you want to say."

"But you have to eat it."

After saying that, she released his lips again.

He glanced down at the chocolate cup in her hand, which had been licked clean, and said, "Okay."

Huo Nianci released his mouth and took another chocolate cup from the table, handing it to him.

He unwrapped the packaging and, mimicking her actions, lowered his head and tentatively touched the rim of the cup with the tip of his tongue.

The sweetness of chocolate quickly enveloped the tongue.

He slowly swirled the glass around its rim, allowing his tongue to touch more of the surface.

There were still large chunks of chocolate left in the groove of the first cup, and a clear dark mark remained on the edge.

There was a clump of untouched chocolate piled up in the corner at the bottom of the cup.

He picked it up and looked at it, but he wasn't quite satisfied with it himself. He then bent down and cleaned it up several more times before finally getting rid of the remaining parts.

Huo Nianci took the cup from his hand, held it up to the light, examined the remaining marks on the cup, and handed it back to him: "No, there's more here, and here too. Go back and continue."

"This won't work either?"

Lin An took it back and bent down to patch up the corner on the edge of the cup that had been missed several times until that area was smooth and clean.

Although he didn't know why she had to eat like this, he still complied with Huo Nianci's request.

However, Lin An was very talented and quickly mastered the skills.

The second cup was a little faster than the first, and the third was even faster.

By the fifth one, he had mastered the rhythm.

I knew I should start from the bottom of the cup and then spiral upwards along the side of the cup.

When Huo Nianci took it to examine it, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

"Very good," Huo Nianci said after finishing the fifth one, pushing the bucket of chocolate cups to the side.

"We've finished the first dessert. There's a second dessert coming up."

Lin An raised his head and licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue: "Anything else?"

Huo Nianci did not answer.

She stood up from the sofa and lunged straight at him.

Pushing Lin An down onto the sofa again, Huo Nianci whispered in his ear, "The second dessert after dinner..."

"It's me."

After saying that, she stepped away from Lin An without waiting for his reaction.

She stood up, reached out and grabbed his wrist, pulling him off the sofa.

Huo Nianci reached into the small pocket on the side of her skirt, took out the silver key, and held it in her palm.

Then she pulled him around the desk and walked to the wooden wall behind the office.

That wall, like the bookshelves in the office, was made of dark brown solid wood panels.

If you don't look closely, you can't see any trace of a door at all.

But Huo Nianci's hand touched the right side of the center of the wall.

Her finger hovered over the edge of that spot, then she inserted the key.

The silver key silently disappeared into the crack, as if swallowed by the wall itself.

She twisted it, and a very faint turning sound came from inside the wall.

She took out the key, placed her fingers on the edge of the wall, and gently pulled it.

The hidden door slid open silently inward.

This place is a hidden paradise!

Lin An sighed.

Then stand behind him and look inside.

When he saw what was inside, his eyes widened immediately.

Is this really just an office?
