Chapter 25 officially kicks off the brotherhood mode.
In order not to expose "the secret that Brother Shen buried deep in his heart that cannot be known to outsiders", and "Brother Shen's small but proud self-esteem".
Feng Xu obediently kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to say anything more.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Luo Jiayin stood up, opened the hot pot lid, and looked at the broth inside, which was already heated and bubbling.
The aroma was so enticing that Luo Jiayin was starving.
"Alright, the food's ready to cook! We're all family, so don't stand on ceremony."
After saying that, Luo Jiayin thoughtfully turned to Gu Yishen and Feng Xu with a friendly smile.
"Mr. Gu and Assistant Feng, please don't be shy! Everyone, please enjoy the food and drinks tonight!"
Gu Yishen and Feng Xu nodded at the same time.
Yu Jiu and Sister Mei also smiled and agreed.
Luo Jiayin was the first to put a few slices of mutton into the pot. After waiting for a while, she picked up a slice of mutton, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in her mouth.
After chewing a few times, Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow slightly.
It smells amazing! Absolutely divine!
"Mmm~~Delicious~! You guys should try it too. This dipping sauce is my secret recipe, made by me personally."
"Try it first. If you don't like it, we also have ready-made hot pot dipping sauces from the supermarket, both spicy and non-spicy."
Luo Jiayin was in a really good mood right now and didn't care at all about the two outsiders, Gu Yishen and Feng Xu, who had suddenly come to her house for a "free meal".
She felt that her stomach was exceptionally full and delicious because of today's hot pot meal.
Seeing this, Gu Yishen immediately smiled and said to Luo Jiayin, "Since our male god has spoken, then we won't be polite."
As he spoke, he said to Feng Xu, "Come on, let's eat! Today we'll also try Luo Jia's cooking."
After speaking, Gu Yishen first picked up a piece of meat and put it into the bowl.
Luo Jiayin also looked at Gu Yishen with some anticipation.
Although Gu Yishen's bold words were very down-to-earth, his actions were very elegant.
Even when eating, he was composed and unhurried. Luo Jiayin felt as if this person was surrounded by a halo, and every move he made was filled with an air of superiority and nobility.
Seeing Gu Yishen like this, Feng Xu felt even more flustered.
We're doomed!!
Is Brother Shen trying to put on an act?
What should he do...?
Feng Xu glanced at Luo Jiayin, then at Gu Yishen, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind—should he make a run for it?!
He wanted to leave as soon as possible; he couldn't eat any more of the meal!
He was really afraid that he would discover some "abnormal" behavior from Brother Shen, and then he would lose his composure and be discovered to have revealed something.
He was more afraid that he was overthinking things...
So, Feng Xu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, stood up, and said, "Well... Brother Shen, Teacher Luo Jia, I..."
"Hmm... Brother Luo Jia wasn't exaggerating, Feng Xu, you should try it, it really tastes good!"
"Huh? I..." Feng Xu's original excuse about running away was choked back.
"Assistant Feng," Luo Jiayin said with a grin, "Look how much your brother Shen is enjoying his food, so don't be shy, sit down and have a taste!"
Feng Xu's lips twitched violently twice. These two were clearly people who had nothing in common before, so how come they've only been eating for a meal?
How did these two start calling each other brothers so quickly...?
Feng Xu's gaze swept between Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen again, and finally he forced himself to sit down.
Feng Xu ate this meal cautiously, finding no enjoyment in it!
Luo Jiayin was oblivious, her mind only focused on eating, while Yu Jiu ate while watching Gu Yishen and Feng Xu's reactions, finding them somewhat strange.
For some reason, Yu Jiu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and some extremely strange ideas came to her mind, which startled even herself.
Then, when her gaze swept over Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen again, her expression involuntarily became subtle.
Others might not know, but Yu Jiu knew Luo Jiayin's true situation all too well.
Not to mention that Yu Jiu herself is a big fan of Gu Yishen, her relationship with Luo Jiayin is even more special.
What a perfect couple...
If these two could actually get together...
Yu Jiu's lips unconsciously curled into a maternal smile.
Damn! She loves this couple so much!!
What are you grinning about?
Luo Jiayin was sitting next to Yu Jiu. Noticing the change in her expression, she asked.
"Yeah, I've been watching you laugh for ages. What's making you happy, Jiu Jiu?"
Even though Mei Jie was trying her best to appear natural, she couldn't help but tease Luo Jiayin when she heard his words.
Huh? Why am I grinning like an idiot?
"I can't let you know!" Yu Jiu thought to herself.
There's still no sign of anything going on between Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen, not to mention that Luo Jiayin is currently known as "Luo Jia," a popular idol who has charmed countless women.
She needs to carefully consider and think things through before she can set up her best friend and her crush.
...
"By the way, Luo Jia, the variety show 'Hold On to the Villain's Script' starts filming tomorrow. How are you? Are you all ready?"
After the meal was finished and everyone had cleaned up, no one was in a hurry to leave, not even Gu Yishen and Feng Xu.
The group sat in the living room, and Sister Mei took the opportunity to chat with Luo Jiayin about work.
"Everything is ready, Sister Mei. Don't worry, it's absolutely foolproof!"
Luo Jiayin patted her chest and assured him.
"Okay, the program we're recording this time is a very interesting variety show. I think that among the variety shows on the market right now, 'Hold On to the Villain's Script' is probably the one that can attract the most attention."
Sister Mei earnestly advised again: "As you know, those kinds of programs are usually funded by some very powerful brands, and then they find some well-known and popular celebrities to form a team to participate together."
"We will also be inviting many currently popular celebrities as guest stars, just like you this time. So... remember, you must be careful with your words and actions."
Luo Jiayin thought for a moment and said, "Sister Mei, I know what you mean and I understand your considerations. I know what I should and shouldn't say, and what I can and can't do. I'm not exactly a newbie anymore, right?"
Sister Mei nodded: "Of course I know you. I'm just worried... after all, we're from Jingting... I'm afraid you'll be ostracized and bullied when you go on the show."
