Chapter 16: Really Serious

"Uncle Wang, go wash your hands. We're going to start having hotpot soon." Wen Qingzhou said, pursing his lips.

"Okay." Uncle Wang rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the bathroom.

"Brother~"

After Wen Shuzhou changed into his home clothes and went downstairs, he went to the kitchen first. When he looked inside, he saw Wen Miao waving a spatula and stir-frying something in the pot!

"Wen Miao, is it okay?" Wen Qingzhou asked anxiously.

"It's done." Wen Miao stopped and poured the fried spicy hot pot base into the empty half-space next to the coriander beef soup in the hot pot.

"Come to the table."

"Okay." When Wen Qingzhou turned around with the longyan pot in his hand, he almost bumped into Wen Shuzhou who was approaching from behind. Fortunately, he stopped in time.

"Brother, you walk without making any sound?"

"Of course not, you were too greedy and didn't hear my footsteps." Wen Shuzhou raised the corner of his lips and said.

"Hmph!" Wen Qingzhou snorted arrogantly and said, bypassing his brother.

"Why am I so hungry? I just love life!"

"Wen Miao, you've worked hard!" Looking at his younger brother disappearing at the door, Wen Shuzhou's smile deepened.

"You're welcome." Wen Miao said, holding a dish in each hand, and walked towards the kitchen door.

"Haha...it's getting more and more interesting." Wen Shuzhou shook his head slightly, took two plates of food, and followed Wen Miao to the restaurant.

"Wen Miao, thank you for today. My brother and I agreed to treat you, so I'm sorry to bother you with the preparations." Wen Qingzhou said with a smile.

"You're welcome. We're all neighbors. I'm just lending a hand." Wen Miao raised his lips.

"Wen Miao, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Wang, an elder in our family." Wen Qingzhou said.

"Hello, Uncle Wang." After Wen Miao finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to get other dishes.

"Young Master, you just said he was... Wen Miao? Is there... no one else in the kitchen?" Uncle Wang looked through Wen Miao's turned back and peered towards the kitchen door.

"No, Uncle Wang. My brother and I just moved here yesterday, and we only know one neighbor, Wen Miao." Wen Qingzhou told the truth.

"..."No one else? He only knew one neighbor, and he was a man. But what the young master said in his words... Thinking of this, Uncle Wang, who had always been calm for many years, had a slight frown on his face.

"No way, does the young master like men?"

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang..., what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Wen Qingzhou waved his hand in front of Uncle Wang.

“…Nothing.”

Uncle Wang cast his eyes to confirm his eldest son, but he saw the barely perceptible smile on Wen Shuzhou's face when he brought out the dishes. At this, Uncle Wang's heart skipped a beat. Based on his understanding of the eldest son over the years, he was afraid that the eldest son was really serious this time.

"Okay, let's eat. I'm hungry." After the dishes were served, Wen Qingzhou smiled and said.
