Lan Yujuan finished and delivered her script at the end of last month, and finally had a few days of free time.

I happened to run into Professor Kong, and it was a rare opportunity to have free time during the National Day holiday, with no other plans.

The two chatted in the coffee shop and immediately decided to go out for a big meal at noon and then go to the movies in the afternoon to have a good rest!

However, neither of them expected that plans would not keep up with changes.

On the first day of the National Day holiday, the hot pot restaurant the two planned to eat at was completely packed, and they couldn't even get a number in line.

So we went to another private restaurant, but even after making a reservation by phone, we still couldn't get a table.

Not to mention going to the movies in the afternoon, all the screenings were sold out, and it was impossible to buy tickets.

Lan Yujuan was completely dumbfounded.

It's almost 11 o'clock, and if I don't make a decision soon, it will be too late.

After much deliberation, Lan Yujuan decided to bite the bullet and invite Teacher Kong to her home for a meal.

"How about we eat at home?"

"During this holiday, my dad tutored those two kids at home, and my mom cooked for them!"

"I'll call home now and ask my mom to cook a couple more dishes; I'll definitely have enough time!"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Kong's expression changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, but let's forget about it!"

"It's a rare holiday, a time to rest and relax. I don't want to see my students, nor do I want to visit my teachers."

Rather than letting her go back and eat with her classmates and mentors, it's better for her to go hungry for this meal.

This time, Lan Yujuan was truly at a loss.

At this crucial moment, Lan Qingqing, who was tidying up the table nearby, came over and suggested with a smile:

"We're planning to have hot pot in the backyard at noon today, do you two want to join us?"

Lan Yujuan looked up in surprise. "Huh? How come I didn't know?"

Lan Qingqing stopped what she was doing and said with a smile:

"I was going to tell you this, but you said first that you had something to do and were going out to eat, so you wouldn't be having lunch with us?"

"So, I didn't tell you."

Lan Yujuan seemed to understand something. "So that's how it is."

As she spoke, she looked up at Professor Kong across from her, seeking her opinion, "Senior, what do you think?"

Teacher Kong smiled and nodded vigorously, "I think it's a good idea!"

"The atmosphere in your store is great, and the people are very friendly. I really like it!"

And so, lunch was decided.

Lan Yujuan immediately got up and prepared to go to the market to buy groceries.

"Senior sister, you can stay at the shop and I'll go to the market to buy some ingredients for hot pot."

Upon hearing this, Lan Qingqing quickly stopped the person.

"Sis, you don't need to move. You two just rest and wait for dinner!"

As the three were talking, the roar of a motorcycle came from the doorway again.

Then, Lin Feng parked his motorcycle and got off carrying large and small bags.

Lan Qingqing explained with a smile, "The hot pot broth was sent from Sichuan by Lin Feng's friend. It's homemade, made with the best ingredients, and it's incredibly fragrant!"

"After he dropped me off at the shop, he went to buy beef, lamb, vegetables, mushrooms, and other ingredients for hot pot."

"Wait a moment, when there are fewer people in the shop, let's go to the backyard to set up the pot, and we can start cooking right away!"

As they were talking, Lin Feng came in carrying his things. He greeted everyone and smiled at Lan Qingqing:

"You all go ahead with your work, I'll go to the backyard to get things ready!"

There is a separate small kitchen in the backyard, which is clean and fully equipped.

Seeing that everyone in the shop was busy, Teacher Kong quickly got up and was about to follow them to the backyard.

"Since I have nothing to do sitting here anyway, I'll go lend a hand in the backyard!"

Lan Yujuan thought to herself, "How can I have the guests help me while I can rest?"

So he stood up too, "Okay, let's go together!"

The two women were talking as they walked toward the backyard when someone beat them to it.

"Brother Feng, I can't help with what's going on in the main hall right now, but I'll lend you a hand in the backyard!"

Lan Yujuan narrowed her eyes upon hearing the familiar voice, and was about to send the person back to the front yard.

"Stay away from me!" Lin Feng said first, frowning.

"If Qingqing misunderstands later, I won't be able to explain myself."
