He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt Avril did seem to have gained a little weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Especially her chest, which seemed to have grown a size larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Today I'll take you to taste authentic old Jingcheng hot pot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chen Mo laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon the car arrived at an authentic old Jingcheng hot pot restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone did a good job of disguising themselves, then got out of the car and entered the store. Under the guidance of the waiter, they arrived at a private room, and only then did everyone remove their disguises.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not long after, several copper pots were brought up, followed by several plates of thinly sliced lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone lowered their heads and ate the shabu-shabu lamb in big mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was 2004 now, and in terms of ingredients, both the taste and health were better than ten years ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The freshness of the lamb made everyone shout that it was satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even Anne Hathaway, who had the most goddess-like demeanor among them, had oil all over her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone entered a rest period, the speed of eating hot pot slowed down significantly, and they began to chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master, that *Transformers* movie is really great. Will there be a second one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Will looked at Chen Mo and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing Chen Mo's words, except for Avril, who was in the music circle, the eyes of the others lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>",1205,"2026-06-17T00:43:40.571Z","2026-06-17T08:59:01.224Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ccadfc2f5d570581a8ec02c4ed60d1d67ff0ebdfc936bb74ed0b2b484c79a302","entertainment-starting-as-a-child-star-boss-yang-chapter-159","entertainment-starting-as-a-child-star-boss-yang-chapter-157",519,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fentertainment-starting-as-a-child-star-boss-yang-cover.jpg"]
