[Warm reminder: The timeline has nothing to do with the main text, this is just a small side story]
Ever since Baili Xiyao took on most of the work for him in order to take care of his health, He Mozhao has been bored to death. However, he has to go to and from get off work with Baili Xiyao every day unless his health does not allow it.
At work, Baili Xiyao was busy with official business, and he would also follow suit to handle some official business, but every time, not long after, Baili Xiyao would drive him to the sofa on the side to check his phone, watch TV series and play games.
That day, He Mozhao was happily reviewing a short video from a stranger online who had tagged him. Looking at the short videos of delicious food filled with chili peppers and boiling red oil, He Mozhao sucked in his saliva and wanted to eat...
Looking at the stranger netizen whom he labeled as 'Yunji Fan Partner', He Mozhao suddenly had an urge to meet him in person. After all, it is extremely difficult to find a fellow fan with exactly the same taste. And this Yunji Fan Partner, who has been on his list for two years, always touches his heart every time he tags the food videos he watches.
In the past, when he was in poor health, the result of occasionally being unrestrained was a three-day trip to the hospital. However, he could not resist the spiciness, so even though he knew that the consequence would be a three-day trip to the hospital, He Mozhao would still secretly have a hot pot for one person or take turns to have authentic G/C/X dishes (Gan, Sichuan, and Hunan) without the knowledge of Ye Yang and others.
Up to now, no one knows about his hobby of eating spicy food except Yunji Fandazi. However, Yunji Fandazi is a real stranger. He doesn't even know where the other person is from. He only knows that when this person tagged him, the most common IP displayed below is the imperial capital, so He Mozhao guessed that this person is from the imperial capital, or has lived in the imperial capital for a long time.
He Mozhao looked up at Baili Xiyao who was busy working, and made a decision in his heart.
He wants to invite his friend Yunji to have dinner together!
He Mozhao did it right away and sent a message to the other party through the short video software that they both followed.
[Spicy Food Lover]: [QQQQ.gif] Hey, are you there? If you're in the capital, how about we get together for dinner?
After sending the message, He Mozhao exited the chat interface and happily watched short videos of people going to the beach, cleaning carpets, and trimming hoofs. This was a new pleasure he had found after becoming a hands-off boss, and he was inexplicably addicted to it.
At half past twelve in the afternoon, when He Mozhao and Baili Xiyao were enjoying a delicious lunch, the screen of He Mozhao's mobile phone on the coffee table lit up, and a push notification from a short video chat appeared on the screensaver.
[Yunji Fan Dazi]: Yes, yes, I'm in the capital! Where are we meeting? Today? G/C/X restaurant or hot pot restaurant?
After dinner, He Mozhao, who was worried about his dinner partner, quietly got up and left the lounge after Baili Xiyao fell asleep during his lunch break. He picked up his phone and saw the reply from his dinner partner. A childish person in his heart was cheering.
[Spicy Food Lover]: Not today, it's Friday, I have to go back to my parents' house for dinner, let's do it next Monday, you choose the place, just send me the location when you're ready (#^.^#)
[Yunjifandazi]: Going back to your parents' home? Are you a girl? Or a married girl?
[Spicy Food Expert]: Ugh! I'm missing two words. I'm going back to my wife's family's house for dinner. I'm a serious man!
I don't know why, but when He Mozhao typed the words 'wife's family'...
[Yunji dinner partner]: Fortunately, fortunately, if it was a married girl, I would not have asked her out for dinner, it would be immoral
[Yunji Fandaizi]: Next Monday at 6 pm, let’s meet up with my sister at the newly opened MY Hotpot in the south city of the capital. I’ll treat you!
【Spicy food lover】:okk~
A person with the nickname of a short video account [I Love Chili Peppers], who was also noted by He Mozhao as 'Yunji Rice Partner', felt inexplicably familiar with the 'okk~'. However, when he thought that this was the netizen with whom he had shared delicious food on a short video for two years, he thought it was just an illusion and did not think about it any further.
All afternoon, Baili Xiyao felt that her little baby was inexplicably excited, but every time she looked over, there was nothing unusual on the baby's face. Baili Xiyao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, and inadvertently glanced at the calendar on the table.
Oh, it’s Friday, and I’m going back to the old house for dinner. No wonder I’m so excited…
I don't know if it's because she feels sorry for He Mozhao after knowing his past, or because He Mozhao is becoming more and more like a child, which makes Ji Jingwen's maternal love overflow. Every Friday, from the moment He Mozhao steps into the door of Baili Old House, she, the wife, can hardly even touch her baby's hand, because her mother always prepares plenty of freshly squeezed orange juice to lure him away.
Baili Xiyao chuckled helplessly and shook her head, continuing to bury herself in her work, no longer thinking about He Mozhao's little excitement. After all, as a result of the little baby being intoxicated by orange juice, it was always her, Baili Xiyao, who enjoyed the sweet little benefit.
Baili Old House.
"Baby is here~ Come in quickly, are you tired from work? If you are tired, let A Yao help, she is not afraid of being tired." As soon as they entered the door, Ji Jingwen smiled and pulled He Mozhao over, and began to ask about his well-being. Baili Xiyao beside He Mozhao was completely ignored.
"Mom," although He Mozhao was well aware of Ji Jingwen's enthusiasm, he still couldn't resist it, so He Mozhao smiled and called out, interrupting Ji Jingwen's long speech about concern.
But with a soft "Mom", coupled with He Mozhao's unique and pleasant voice, Ji Jingwen smiled so much that she wanted to take out all her internal organs for him and let him call her "Mom" softly again.
Seeing his mother's voice control problem come back, Baili Xiyao quickly winked at Baili Xiao who was not far away: "Take your wife away immediately. What's the point of her hanging around her son-in-law all day?"
Baili Xiao spread his hands, indicating that he didn't dare to intervene at all.
"...", should I cancel my trip back to the old house every Friday for dinner...
"Dad," He Mozhao called out obediently when he saw Baili Xiao looking at him from the sofa.
"Well, you must be tired. Come sit down and take a rest. The meal will be ready soon." Baili Xiao stood up and pulled Ji Jingwen over with a smile. His voice was steady, domineering but gentle.
He Mozhao nodded and said okay, then walked towards the sofa with Baili Xiyao by his hand. Not long after his butt touched the sofa, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice appeared in front of him, with a straw inserted in it.
"Baby, drink your orange juice first. Sit for a while and we'll have dinner," Ji Jingwen smiled and sat next to He Mozhao, squeezing Baili Xiyao so hard that he had to get up and sit on the other side of He Mozhao.
"Mom, let me say it again, he is my baby, not yours, and I am the only one who can call him baby."
Ji Jingwen snorted coldly when she heard that, and turned away from Baili Xiyao, "Mom is the elder, you can call me whatever you want, right, baby~"
“……”, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, it’s only once a week, just bear with it!
Seeing that Baili Xiyao was showing signs of getting angry, He Mozhao quickly said, "It's Xixi's baby!", then turned to look at Ji Jingwen, without saying a word, just looking at Ji Jingwen aggrievedly.
After a few seconds, Ji Jingwen was defeated and had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, if you don't want to call me baby, then call me Zhao Zhao, okay?"
He Mozhao nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, held the orange juice in his hand, bit the straw and took a sip.
