The restaurant next door is where you can eat; you can go there to eat when it's time. You should usually go early, otherwise there won't be any food left.

"Dad." Yixue knocked on the door, calling to Yiyue and the others next door to come eat together.

Yi Yue opened the door and said, "Wait a little longer, until your mother finishes her shower, then we'll go out to eat together."

Reina, with her sharp ears, excitedly asked, "Let's go out to eat! What are we eating?"

"Let's eat hot pot," Yi Yue said. "There's a hot pot restaurant near Yuanyang Lake that serves really delicious hot pot."

"That's fantastic!" Rena exclaimed excitedly. "The food here is awful! Long live Daddy!"

"Long live Dad! What about Mom?" Makise came out of the bathroom with wet hair, holding a towel to dry it, and said, pretending to be unhappy.

"Hehe, Mom is great too!" Rena gently tapped her head and stuck out her tongue.

Makise smiled wryly, and Itsuki gave a helpless laugh: "This guy is fine as long as he has something to eat."

……

The hot pot restaurant is a bit of a distance from the hotel.

The family strolled down the street, surrounded by bustling traffic and twinkling lights. Their leisurely demeanor almost made them forget they were traveling in a different place.

The hot pot restaurant is called Hongmeiniang. Pushing open the door, you're greeted by a mix of hot pot steam and cool air from the air conditioner.

There were quite a few people inside, and many seats were full.

"Are there any seats available?" Yi Yue asked the waiter.

The waiter said, "Yes, how many people are in your party?"

"Four."

"This way, please." The waiter led them to a table against the wall.

"You can order by scanning the QR code above," the waiter said, pointing to the QR code on the table.

Now, keeping up with the times, you don't even need a menu to order food; you can just scan a QR code to order.

When Yi Yue scanned the QR code with her phone, a pop-up window appeared in her browser, displaying the menu of a hot pot restaurant.

"What kind of soup base would you like?" The waiter recommended, "We have a new nourishing hot pot here, you can try it if you are interested."

Izuki asked Makise, "What kind of pot do you want?"

Makise smiled and said, "Both of us are fine. You can ask your daughter what she wants."

“I want a spicy hot pot!” Rena said, scanning the QR code with her phone.

"Spicy hot pot..." Yi Yue can't handle spicy food.

"What about Yixue?"

Yixue said, "Let's have a nourishing hot pot, I can't handle spicy food very well."

"How about this, let's order a hot pot with two broths?" Yi Yue suggested a compromise.

"What would you like to order?" Yi Yue told them to order.

Rena excitedly kept pointing, wanting this and that.

The waiter recommended to Yi Yue: "This tripe is delicious. Many people come here just to eat tripe, as well as beef liver... I recommend the beef and lamb set meal, which is a new item on our menu. You can try it."

Yi Yue nodded, and after ordering, asked, "What drinks would you like?"

"Get me a big bottle of Pepsi!" Rena said, but seeing Izuki Makise looking at her with annoyance, she immediately pursed her lips and whispered, "Never mind, just get me a small can of Pepsi."

“Rena, drinking these carbonated drinks is bad for your health,” Izuki said.

Makise said, "Never mind, it's fine to have a drink once in a while."

Reina nodded vigorously, while Izuki sighed and turned to ask Yixue, "What would you like to drink?"

"I'm fine with anything," Yixue said obediently.

Yi Yue said, "Then get me three cans of herbal tea. It's easy to get a sore throat from drinking hot pot, so I'll just have herbal tea instead."

The waiter nodded, and after a while, pushed a cart and brought the hot pot ingredients and hot pot to the table.

The hot pot has two broths, one side brimming with red chilies, the hot oil bubbling and glistening, instantly whetting the appetite. The other side contains a nourishing broth, made with fish, its aroma enticing and its flavor unmistakable. In the center is a smaller pot of stock.

The waiter dutifully explained, "Many people come here just for this soup. I'll put the beef liver and other ingredients in for you; they're all prepared and will be ready to eat in a few seconds." He then ladled a spoonful of soup for each of Yi Yue and the others; this was meant to be an appetizer.

I took a sip, and it tasted absolutely wonderful. It warmed my stomach, a very pleasant feeling.

The waiter gave a few more introductions, helped Yi Yue put down the other dishes, and then stood at a distance, letting Yi Yue and her friends enjoy their meal.

Rena and Makise love spicy food, and they ate until they were covered in sweat, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Tofu skin, mutton hotpot, and beef balls were kept being added to the pot.

Compared to them, Yi Yueyi ate very elegantly.

Yi Yue ate very slowly, dipping her food in the sauce, blowing on it, and savoring each small bite.

"Dad, here you go!" Reina picked up a piece of tofu skin for Izuki, which she had taken out of the spicy hot pot.

Yi Yue hates spicy food, but his daughter put it on his plate, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and take a bite.

"Cough cough cough." Yi Yue coughed, unable to eat, and picked up a cup of herbal tea and took a few sips.

"Is it very spicy? Dad, can't you even handle this little bit of spice?" Rena chuckled.

Yi Yue forced a smile and said, "Well, I can't handle spicy food very well."

Makise patted Itsuki's back with concern: "Don't force yourself if you can't eat."

Yi Yue nodded and took another sip of her herbal tea.

Yixue gave Lingna a cold look, while Lingna continued to eat tofu skin without a care in the world.

"Dad, here you go." Yixue ladled a bowl of soup for Yiyue and added a few slices of mutton and beef balls.

"Mmm." Yi Yue nodded and took a sip of soup.

Yi Xue watched Yi Yue drink the soup quietly, her face slightly flushed, and she smiled.

"Cough cough cough..." Rena ate too much spicy food and felt uncomfortable and itchy in her throat.

"It's so spicy!" Rena wanted to drink cola, but she had already finished hers.

Izuki immediately poured a bowl of soup for Rena, but Rena ignored it and gulped down the half-finished herbal tea that Izuki had drunk.

"Rena." Itsuki said helplessly.

Rena let out a breath: "Phew, I'm alive again." Looking at Izuki, she stuck out her tongue and said, "What does it matter?"

"That's not very hygienic. Can't we just ask the waiter for another bottle?" Yi Yue said.

Reina pouted, "It's so spicy, I don't care about anything else. I don't mind Daddy's saliva." Seeing Izuki's expression, she grinned and said, "Does Daddy mind? Doesn't Mommy eat Daddy's saliva every day?"

"Cough cough." Yi Yue coughed.

Makise blushed slightly and angrily tapped Rena on the head: "Don't talk nonsense! You have no manners!"

Rena immediately covered her head and dodged away, "Hehe, I'm not that stupid, I wouldn't keep hitting your heads."

Rena's precocious nature prompted Makise to look at Itsuki with a resentful gaze.

Izuki is in an awkward position; it's really giving me a headache.

Chapter 133 Face

"Reina..." Itsuki said angrily.

Rena said, "Hmph, did I say something wrong?"

"Moon." Makise smiled, placing a few pieces of meat in Izuki's bowl. "Remember your punishment."

"Eh." Itsuki paused for a moment, then whispered, "Makise, don't do this. It's clearly Rena, why should I take the blame?"

“Because Yue didn’t teach her well,” Makise said.

"Well, let's not do that." Izuki's voice trailed off as she looked at Makise with a smile, her head drooping and her face beginning to blush.

Rena was completely confused and asked directly, "What kind of punishment is Mom talking about?"

Makise said, "This punishment is..."

Itsuki immediately interrupted: "Makise!"

"What's wrong, Yue?" Makise leaned closer to Yue.

"Don't tell anyone," Yi Yue whispered.

Makise said in a voice only Itsuki could hear, "Itsuki, beg me."

Yi Yue blushed and glanced at Ling Nai Yi Xue, then quickly whispered, "Please."

"Hmm." Makise whispered in Izuki's ear, "Then I'll save you some face in front of our daughter." They parted ways.

Rena asked curiously, "What is it?"

Makise laughed and said, "I'll tell you later."

"In the future?!" Itsuki stared wide-eyed at Makise.

Makise just smiled.

"A perverse sense of humor." Yi Yue pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"Tch, keep me in suspense! I don't want to know!" Rena pouted, looking at Izuki's blushing face, and teased, "Daddy, why is your face red?" She stood up and poked Izuki's cheek: "Or is it some kind of embarrassing punishment?"

"Eh." Itsuki blushed guiltily, unsure of what to say in the face of Reina's teasing.

"Hehe, I guessed right." Rena blushed and laughed nonstop. Letting loose, she imagined many embarrassing scenarios in her mind.

Izuki looked embarrassed and pleaded for help from Makise.

Makise watched with interest as Rena teased Itsuki, and laughed when Itsuki looked at her for help: "I just have a weird sense of humor."

When Yi Yue was at a loss, Yi Xue stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mom was just joking with Dad. Everyone's watching you, aren't you ashamed at all?"

Rena stood up and spoke so loudly that people at the next table turned to look at her.
