Xu Chaoci reached out and touched Nanzhi's hair, smiling gently:

"It's okay, I can cook whatever you like for you."

Nanzhi: "......"

"Zhizhi has me, cousin, you are a guest, so you should take care of yourself."

Shen Xingmian spoke casually, then took the bowl of food that Xu Chaoci had placed in front of Nanzhi.

"Zhizhi, let your cousin eat well by himself, don't cause him any trouble."

Xu Chaoci: "..."

Nanzhi: "..."

Your jealousy is really inexplicable.

"Old Shen, if Nanzhi isn't going to eat it, give it to me."

Hu Lai felt he hadn't eaten enough, and with a matter-of-fact expression, he leaned out to ask Shen Xingmian for a small bowl.

This time, Shen Xingmian was unusually kind to Hu Lai. Just as he was about to hand it to him, Nan Zhi intercepted it.

Nanzhi laughed:

“I see that Xi’er hasn’t eaten much. Hu Lai is probably already full. Let’s give it to Xi’er.”

After saying that, he handed it directly to Qin Xier.

Xu Chaoci: "..."

He had no idea that the food he cooked was so popular.

Qin Xi'er looked at the bowl of meat and vegetables that Xu Chaoci had personally cooked in front of her, glanced at him nervously, and then whispered her thanks:

"Thanks."

I don't know if it's Xie Nanzhi or Xie Xuchao.

Hu Lai shouted:

"I've only eaten a little bit, how can I be full already? Nanzhi, is this your way of treating guests?"

Nan Zhi squinted at Hu Lai, her eyes full of cunning. "Are you a guest?"

Hu Lai: "...How am I not?"

Is this how you treat your grandmother?

Hu Lai: "..."

Forget it, he's a good man who doesn't fight with wicked women.

Shen Xingmian was in a good mood. Zhizhi didn't eat the dishes that Xu Chaoci had cooked for her, but only ate her own. A strange sense of pride rose in her heart.

His gaze fell on Xu Chaoci almost imperceptibly. Xu Chaoci seemed to sense it, glanced at him sideways with a calm expression, and continued eating with his head down.

Shen Xingmian: "......."

I felt like I was being looked down upon.

Lin Youyou quietly cooked her favorite food in the hot pot, while Lian Jin would occasionally glance at her.

The girl's strange behavior today aroused his suspicion.

He couldn't remember doing anything annoying, but Lin Youyou had been deliberately avoiding him ever since they started eating.

"Youyou, what do you think of the taste?"

Nan Zhi noticed that Lin Youyou hadn't said a word all day, and considering that she had strangely changed her position earlier, she couldn't help but pay more attention to her.

Lin Youyou looked up at her and gave her a bright smile, "It's especially delicious, the best hot pot I've ever had."

I've never had this flavor in a hot pot restaurant before. It's unique, yet incredibly delicious. She wasn't exaggerating at all.

Nan Zhi deeply agreed with Shen Xingmian's culinary skills, so she smiled and said:

"If you like it, have Shen Xingmian make it again another day."

Shen Xingmian paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still. She glanced at Nan Zhi, a look of helplessness flashing in her eyes. She probably didn't know that she had only ever been to the kitchen for Nan Zhi.

Lin Youyou smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After finishing, Shen Xingmian wiped her mouth and called out to Hu Lai, who was about to leave the restaurant.

"what?"

Shen Xingmian spoke in a subtly meaningful tone:

"Clear the dishes."

Hu Lai exclaimed "Ah!" and pointed at himself with his index finger in disbelief, "Me?"

Shen Xingmian raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise what?"

Nan Zhi glanced at Hu Lai, her fair face, smooth as jade, beaming with smiles. "Then, thank you for your trouble. We'll wait for you in the living room."

After saying that, she took Shen Xingmian's arm and went out with the others.

Hu Lai: "......."

Why is it always him who gets hurt?

In the end, I resigned myself to cleaning up the mess.

The others went to the living room. It was rare for everyone to gather together like this, so Nanzhi naturally wanted to make sure they had a good time.

"Let's play a game."

Upon hearing the word "game," Lin Youyou's interest was instantly piqued. She sat down next to Nan Zhi, her eyes sparkling, and asked:

What game?

Nanzhi frowned and thought for a moment, then said:

Let's play Truth or Dare.

The game is a bit cheesy, but it's easy to use. "We use a bottle-spinning game. Whoever gets to do the truth or dare has to do it. If they don't do the dare, they have to drink three glasses as punishment."

Nanzhi went to the bar and found an empty wine bottle, a full bottle of wine, and several wine glasses.

She started spinning it on the coffee table, and this time it ended up spinning right across from Shen Xingmian, who was sitting opposite her.

Everyone: "......."

What an incredible coincidence!

Nan Zhi: "...Truth or Dare?"

Shen Xingmian casually rested her hands behind her head, leaned back on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Truth or dare."

Nanzhi: "..."

She sensed he was doing it on purpose, but Nanzhi wasn't afraid, so she raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

Shen Xingmian hesitated for a moment before nodding, and Nan Zhi smiled:

"Okay, then you dance a striptease."

"Pfft..."

Lin Youyou couldn't help but lower her head and laugh out loud.

Xu Chaoci glanced at Shen Xingmian with surprise, and said in a light tone, "I didn't expect you to like this kind of activity, brother-in-law."

Shen Xingmian: "......"
