That evening, partly to treat Thomas to dinner and partly to celebrate her space leveling up, Suzy chose a local hot pot restaurant.
During her days in M Country, she had sampled quite a few local specialties. Some dishes were decent, but most other dishes didn't quite suit her palate.
Fortunately, she had stocked plenty of takeout meals inside her space. Every night, she secretly supplemented her dinners and never let herself go hungry.
But tonight was different. Tonight, she wanted something hot and comforting.
Something fiery.
After sitting down, she ordered a rich, spicy beef tallow broth.
The red oil shimmered under the lights as the pot began to boil, releasing waves of fragrant heat into the air.
Suzy tried her best to make conversation, hoping to narrow the distance between herself and Thomas.
Unfortunately, his attitude remained cool and reserved.
He had never been a talkative man. No matter what she said, his responses were short.
"Mm."
"Okay."
"I see."
