Chapter 4, The Gathering of Hot Pot Storms

In October, the hand holding the bottle of cola froze in mid-air, as the person stared intently at the screen, completely dumbfounded

Seeing that October had his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg, he stared obsessively at the cross-dressing boy on the television. Jin Taizi grew increasingly displeased, feeling an inexplicable surge of anger rising within him. He huffed in annoyance, saying: "Lin Shiyue, so you have a taste for this kind of thing, it seems that a monster like you is indeed suited for a brainless match!"

He

Xiong Xing'er immediately shot him a disdainful glance: "Jin Taizi, even when hitting a dog, one must consider its owner! Lin Shiyue is not someone you can insult! She is indeed quite extraordinary, so what? Can you be extraordinary? Can you? Can you?"

Wow, the first audience members to come out after dressing in women's clothing can only be described as utterly tragic, and the level of shock they caused was truly unprecedented!

Hmph, this kind of campus talk show is the most boring; it only plays campus gossip, or selects targets for pranks from the live audience or the host. What is there to watch... You are a super fan of "Lion Star King," so what? Why do you insist that everyone must gather in front of the 'Sinful Hearth' at 7 PM every Friday night, regardless of whether they have club activities or dates, and force others to watch with you?

Instinctively, I lifted my head to look at the screen, at which point the audience on the television erupted with screams that seemed capable of lifting the roof off. Even the well-informed Lion King and the Starfish Brothers held their microphones in silence for a long time. The screen was filled with dazzling stars and fireworks, leaving one in a daze.

Uh... but my allowance is not much..." October was startled and quickly reached to touch her withered wallet, saying pitifully.

"Indeed, Xiao Fei, I have high hopes for you as well!" Xiong Xing'er's eyes lit up, and she became enthusiastic. With great flair, she slapped her hand on the other shoulder of Xiao Chi, agreeing in the tone of an emperor, deliberately ignoring Xiao Chi's face turning green.

"Isn't he masculine?" Xiong Xing'er looked up and down at Jin Taizi with a face full of disdain, "Dressing in women's clothing is merely for the sake of the show; it's hard to imagine how handsome he would be without makeup, overshadowing the sun and the moon! Can't you see that he has a model's figure, much better than your laborer's muscles!"

"Oh, October, have you struck it rich? Why have you prepared so many dishes?" Xiong Xing'er exclaimed as she tossed aside a fashion magazine and leaned closer to the hot pot, asking in confusion.

In October, startled, he finally reacted and quickly got up to grab a towel to wipe Prince Jin, but accidentally knocked over the cola on the table, spilling it all over Prince Jin's legs

"Demon... demon spawn!" The Crown Prince Jin stared blankly at the screen, and after a long while, finally uttered this phrase.

Isn't this cross-dressing boy appearing on the screen the "Drunken Concubine" I have seen before?

Xiong Xing'er's eyes were fixed intently on the television screen, as if her soul had been captivated, mechanically opening and closing her mouth: "Fairy... fairy..."

After one second, she trembled violently, once again becoming as still as a clay statue, unable to move at all

After holding back for a long time, he finally said: "A boy should be masculine!"

"What a miser, there is simply no sincerity at all!" Jin Taizi looked at the hesitant Shiyue and suddenly his eyes lit up, saying with great enthusiasm, "Don't you usually enjoy singing Peking opera? I often hear you sing while you are cleaning. If you truly have sincerity, then sing a segment of Peking opera to liven things up!"

The Crown Prince's face instantly turned darker than the bottom of a pot, furious to the point of madness: "Lin Shiyue, I swear I will make sure you die a miserable death!"

In a hilariously entertaining show, the hosts of "Lion Star King," Lion King and the Starfish Brothers, exaggeratedly patted their chests, eliciting bursts of laughter from the audience.

Lin Shiyue shrank her neck in guilt, yet her gaze seemed to be drawn towards the television screen...

Potatoes, fish balls, meatballs, lettuce, enoki mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms ... ... OK, all the ingredients are ready!

Xiao Chi also adds insult to injury: "Even if you are angry and anxious, there is no need to wet your pants"

Bored? Do you know that "Lion Star King" is currently the most popular campus talk show? In addition to its core audience of students, it has a wide range of viewers, with loyal fans ranging from six to sixty-six years old! The key point is that the content of the show is positive, lively, and relaxed, yet filled with suspense and captivating! The segment "Prank Planet" is a must-watch guide for our cat house members, isn't it? Many of our pranking techniques were learned from this show!

A series of questions left Prince Jin speechless

Whoosh

Jin Taizi originally intended to make the remark "A good man does not fight with a woman," but at that moment, October was staring at the television screen as if in a trance, and before he knew it, the cola he was holding was spilling more and more, flowing down the table and onto Jin Taizi's legs

Xiong Xing'er, acting as an ambassador, unreservedly defended "The Lion Star King" and then cast a disdainful sidelong glance at Prince Jin, saying, "I don't know who it was that played palace intrigue with us all night last time and still wasn't satisfied. Don't forget, that set of cards was also introduced by this program!"

He let out a terrible scream, jumping up from the ground like a grasshopper, "Lin Shiyue, what are you doing again!"

Xiong Xing'er looked at the screen and unconsciously let out a short and teasing whistle, while Xiao Chi casually curled the corner of his mouth.

It was originally just a small spot, but now the entire pants are wet

In October, counting on her fingers, she meticulously enumerated the ingredients in the hot pot. Finally, with a beaming smile, she carried the hot pot into the living room, calling out to the young elites sprawled across the sofa, "Everything is ready, we can start eating now!"

Xiong Xing'er also laughed heartily, clapping and cheering: "Hurry up, we are waiting to see!"

"Well... heh, I just want to prepare more dishes to help Prince Jin regain his strength." In October, with an overwhelming sense of apology, she glanced at Prince Jin, who was lying on the sofa, and said shyly

Hmph, it's just so boring..." The Crown Prince said with a hint of frustration, only able to bury his head and turn to the hot pot to vent his anger. In less than a minute, he suddenly stood up, pointing at the screen and laughing heartily, "Hahaha, look at that person, how foolish! With a rough face like a laborer, yet he goes on stage to impersonate a woman..."

Xiong Xing'er fixed her gaze on the LCD screen and suddenly shouted loudly, commanding everyone to maintain silence with an imposing presence

Jin Taizi suddenly glanced at Xiao Chi, whose features were even more delicate than those of a girl, and slapped him on the back, saying: "Xiao Chi, they are just too low-level. I guarantee that if you dress as a woman and go on this show, you will definitely become popular!"

Hey, everyone, shut up! The "Lion Star King" program has started

"Hehe... everyone, don't just focus on watching TV, make sure to eat something too..." Feeling the murderous gaze from Xiao Chi, Shi Yue quickly lowered her head to prepare the hot pot ingredients for everyone, trying to please Xiao Chi by adding a few more pieces of meat to his bowl.

After the camera made a full circle, it finally focused on the last cross-dressing character, providing nearly ten seconds of a close-up of their face

Jin Taizi was eagerly waiting to watch the performance in October, but was abruptly interrupted by Xiong Xing'er. He cast a resentful glance at the lively entertainment program that had just started, muttering his protests.

Xiong Xing'er immediately clapped her hands in approval, laughing so hard that she trembled with joy: "Serves you right!"

Next, we have the final performer, who is a stagehand from our crew. However, I believe his final performance will bring even greater surprises to the audience in front of the television! He is often referred to as the flower of the crew, a beautiful young man... Let's count down together and welcome the last cross-dressing character to the stage! 5 - 4 - 3 - ... Let's count down together and welcome the last cross-dressing character to the stage! 5 - 4 - 3 - ...

This is essentially a celestial being from the Moon Palace who has descended to the mortal realm. Dressed in a crescent-colored flag attire, she wears a tall flag headdress adorned with exquisite velvet flowers. Her distinctly contoured face, softened by the application of powder, resembles a serene and beautiful painting, not only avoiding any sense of incongruity but also adding a touch of ethereal grace that suggests she is untouched by the mundane world.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment

"That's right, it must be a flower! Haha!" Jin Taizi exclaimed as he jumped up, pointing at the television screen with his chopsticks, "Because it must be like a flower..."

"Hmph, you think a little bit of vegetables can appease me?" Upon hearing this, Prince Jin felt as if his heart had been drenched in honey, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. However, he quickly composed his expression and deliberately snorted dismissively, saying, "At the very least, it should be at the level of snowflake beef!"

Ah? Then... let me prepare for a moment... After seriously considering for a while in October, I truly feel embarrassed to decline Prince Jin's request

However, the conversation suddenly came to a halt, and the room fell silent at once, even the laughter and jeers from the screen ceased abruptly. October was still busy with her head down, arranging the dishes. It took a while before she realized that the atmosphere in the room was unusual

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, the last boy is about to take the stage!" However, Xiong Xing'er quickly shifted her gaze away from Xiao Chi, excitedly biting on her chopsticks and vigorously patting Jin Taizi's sturdy shoulder
