"Surely, I still like Auntie’s cooking the most. Auntie, your culinary skills are simply amazing, you could open a restaurant." After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Chu Kuang licked his lips nostalgically and gave Xia Shi a thumbs up.
"Yes, yes, Auntie, you really could open a restaurant. Then more people would be able to taste your food." Meng Chi nodded in agreement.
Xia Shi smiled as she looked at the energetic group of boys, "Opening a restaurant isn’t as easy as you think. It requires money, manpower, and resources. It’s not that simple."
"We have manpower," Chu Kuang pointed to himself and then at the others around him, "We are all your manpower~"
Then his gaze shifted to Bi Xia, who stood to the side with a slightly flushed face from drinking, and he raised an eyebrow, "Besides, there’s Bi Xia. When the time comes, he’ll wave his hand and countless fans will come to help."
"Go find somewhere cool to stay," Bi Xia glared at Chu Kuang, "Talking nonsense everywhere, be careful that you won’t even be allowed inside the store."
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Chu Kuang cut him off proudly and affectionately moved beside Xia Shi, "Auntie would never do that to me, right Auntie? Bi Xiaoxia is just too bad."
Bad, my foot! Bi Xia looked at Chu Kuang with extreme disdain. Thɪs chapter is updated by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
"My mom wouldn’t, but I would," a crisp voice sounded from beside Xia Shi. Bi Yuan glared at Chu Kuang with wide eyes and a blank expression, "Chu Kuang and scumbags are not allowed inside."
"Yuanyuan, don’t be rude," Xia Shi scolded Bi Yuan with a frown.
"Mom, it’s okay; this guy has thick skin," Bi Xia said indifferently, "Just make sure Bi Xiaoyuan pays attention next time."
"Xiaxia, no matter how much you love Yuanyuan, you can’t spoil him." Xia Shi was about to turn and comfort Chu Kuang, who would obviously be upset after being insulted by a small child, but before she could speak, Chu Kuang interrupted and exploded.
"Bi Xia, Little Bun is truly your brother. How come everything he says is just like you? It’s really funny. Is this the tacit understanding between brothers? I’ll go back and ask my parents to have a Little Bun too. Then we can compare whose brother is smarter, how about that?!" Chu Kuang looked at Bi Yuan with sparkling eyes.
Bi Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at Bi Xia, thinking, Brother, where did you find this idiot?
Bi Xia understood Bi Yuan’s meaning and shrugged innocently. Brother didn’t want to know him either; this was a situation that came uninvited and couldn’t be refused.
Both of them sighed helplessly at the same time and turned to look at the stunned Xia Shi. Sigh, so Mom, you’re overthinking it.
Xia Shi: ... Rude or not, at least my kids are normal...
"Auntie, Boss, thanks for having us today. We’ll be heading out now." Although one was from Class H and the other from Class B, Meng Chi and Chu Kuang had known each other since they were kids. Seeing that Chu Kuang was starting to act up again, Meng Chi habitually grabbed him from behind and politely spoke to Xia Shi and Bi Xia.
Xia Shi returned to her usual self and waved them off, "This wasn’t really hosting. Today was too rushed. Next time, you and Xiaxia pick a day; I’ll show you some real skills."
"Got it!" Chu Kuang’s eyes sparkled upon hearing this, and he responded repeatedly, not forgetting to remind Bi Xia, "Bi Xiaoxia, did you hear? Remember to set the date!"
Bi Xia rolled his eyes again, "Meng Chi, quickly take that guy away. Next time, make sure he has his medication with him."
"Hahaha, don’t worry, today was an exception. I forgot to bring his meds." Meng Chi laughed.
Bi Xia escorted the group to the door and then glanced at Xia Shi, who was sorting the accounts inside the shop. He discreetly gestured to Meng Chi and the others, who nonchalantly chatted as they walked to the other side.
After crossing the road and walking a bit further, the group stopped in unison and looked at Bi Xia.
"What’s up, Bi Xia?" Seeing Bi Xia’s expressionless face, Chu Kuang, who had been laughing and joking, also got serious.
"We’re all brothers, so I won’t beat around the bush," Bi Xia paused for a moment, "I need another favor."
Chu Kuang and Meng Chi exchanged a glance, "Sure."
Bi Xia was taken aback and couldn’t help but chuckle, "I haven’t even said what it is yet, and you’re already agreeing?"
Chu Kuang raised an eyebrow, "Would you have us climb mountains of swords or plunge into seas of fire?"
"Not necessarily~" Bi Xia clicked his tongue and looked at Chu Kuang mischievously, "Who knows, you might actually have to climb a mountain of swords or dive into a sea of fire..."
Looking at his already strikingly beautiful face, those starry eyes now emitting glimmers in the night, slowly exuding a charm that could pull people into an abyss...
Damn it! What a demon!
Almost simultaneously, everyone cursed inwardly and forced themselves to regain their senses.
Bi Xia chuckled and closed his eyes, then reopened them. The enchanting boy instantly turned cold and indifferent.
Seeing everyone return to normal, Bi Xia smirked, "No more nonsense, I have only one request."
