The question was returned to Hu Tianqin, who remained silent and showed no intention of being frank.
The two walked home, and when they reached the door, Hu Tianqin told Yi Mu to come over for dinner later.
Yi Mu was about to say "No need" when he heard it.
Hu Tianqin said in a very informal tone, "Bring over the fish you bought this morning; it'll be a waste if you leave it in your hands."
Yi Mu: "..." Did you have to be so blunt?
Hu Tianqin cooked two fish with tofu into a fish soup and sprinkled coriander on top.
Fish soup is very nourishing. After removing the fish bones, most of it ended up in the stomachs of the two children.
Hu Tianqin has a habit of drinking, and he used to drink alone. Today, when Yi Mu came, he also got a bowl for him.
Yi Mu's body has a moderate alcohol tolerance, but Hu Tianqin is a heavy drinker.
The two children played house in the yard after finishing their meal.
When Hu Tianqin was young, he was very competitive. Now he keeps a low profile and hides in an inconspicuous blacksmith shop, with no opportunity to show his skills.
He felt that Yi Mu was like himself, and after drinking a bit too much, he involuntarily revealed his true nature.
"You keep drinking, kid! The wine in your bowl hasn't decreased at all!"
Yi Mu had actually drunk quite a bit, and his ears were sore from the loud voice.
Yi Mu glanced at Hu Tianqin in surprise, feeling that he was quite different from how he appeared outside.
Urged on, Yi Mu took a small sip.
Hu Tianqin couldn't stand his dawdling manner, so he drank the wine in his bowl in one gulp, and then, ignoring Yi Mu's objections, refilled Yi Mu's bowl.
He then picked up the wine jar and drank it down in large gulps.
"If you're a man, just be straightforward."
Hu Tianqin clinked his jar against Yi Mu's wine bowl. The honest and kind man suddenly had the air of a straightforward and flamboyant chivalrous knight.
After being urged repeatedly, Yi Mu could no longer refuse and drank it down.
After drinking two bowls of wine, Hu Tianqin appeared as two people in Yi Mu's eyes.
His tongue was numb from the alcohol, making his speech incoherent, and he stared intently at Hu Tianqin.
"Why is your daughter calling you 'Second Uncle'?"
Hu Tianqin drank a jar of wine, but his eyes were still clear.
He was certain that if Yi Mu were sober, he would never have asked him that question.
Hu Tianqin chose not to answer the question, even though he hadn't had enough fun yet, but Yi Mu was clearly drunk.
"I'll take you back."
Yi Mu pushed his hand away and raised his voice, saying, "I haven't finished drinking yet, have some more!"
He opened a jar of wine, filled his bowl, and gulped it down, tilting his head back.
This was clearly a critical point. Yi Mu's face was flushed, his phoenix eyes were dreamy, and his lips were red. He was indeed a handsome man.
Hu Tianqin clicked his tongue, thinking that if he had known Yi Mu couldn't drink, he would never have forced him.
He got up from his seat, walked over to Yimu, and tugged at his shoulder.
At this point, Yi Mu was already drunk, but his body's instincts did not give way.
The instant Hu Tianqin touched his shoulder, Yi Mu's hand turned into a claw and grabbed at Hu Tianqin's arm.
Hu Tianqin has practiced martial arts since childhood and has an exceptionally strong ability to sense danger.
He abruptly pulled his hand back, and Yi Mu's hand grasped at empty air. He quickly stood up, his hand forming a knife, and slashed at Yi Mu's shoulder.
Hu Tianqin understood what Yi Mu wanted to do.
The children went back inside to play, and he hadn't stretched his muscles in a while, so he decided to play with Yimu.
The two sparred in the courtyard, trying to keep quiet and leave room for maneuver, but it wasn't a childish game.
In just over ten moves, he had already tested the depth of his opponent's skill.
He hadn't shown the strength he was supposed to have, and the two of them realized this at the same time, so they stopped fighting.
