Why are you here?

Before Su Zimu could even ask, Jiang Huaizhou had already sat down next to her.

"Are you here to eat too?" Su Zimu moved forward.

"What else?" Jiang Huaizhou leaned towards her again.

"Are you alone?" Su Zimu said and looked around.

"What else?" Jiang Huaizhou sighed, "Are you afraid of waking me up, so you leave without waking me up?"

Su Zimu: “???”

Is this sentence a bit ambiguous?

Su Zimu stared at Jiang Huaizhou with wide eyes, who was leisurely drinking water from a cup.

Chen Yu on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked: "This gentleman looks familiar, right?" Chen Yu looked at Su Zimu beside him.

"he is……"

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Huaizhou had already spoken, "My name is Jiang Huaizhou, and I'm Mu Mu's..."

At this moment, Su Zimu was afraid that he would say those two words, so he quickly lowered his hand and tugged at his sleeve, looking at him with an expression begging him not to say it.

But she didn't expect Jiang Huaizhou to turn around and look at her with a smile on his face, and hold her hand tightly with his big hand, making her unable to move.

"Friend." Jiang Huaizhou slowly uttered two words.

"Oh, didn't we meet at that Sichuan restaurant in Huacheng last time?" Chen Yu recalled.

Jiang Huaizhou smiled brightly, "Officer Chen, you have a good memory."

"You know I'm a policeman?" Chen Yu became alert. "I remember I didn't introduce my profession to you, right?"

"Oh, it was Mu Mu who told me. She told me a lot about you. You two were classmates in junior high school and sat at the same table for two years."

"Really? You know this too?" Chen Yu was even more confused. What was the relationship between the two?

Su Zimu tried to pull his hand free, but was pulled downward with a greater force, and his body sank toward him.

"Mu Mu, are you okay?" Chen Yu frowned.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Huaizhou also looked at her.

"I'm fine, I just wanted to see if the fire is too low. Why isn't the pot boiling yet?" As he said this, he leaned sideways to check the fire.

"Don't worry, it's nice for everyone to chat for a while." Jiang Huaizhou still refused to let go of her hand.

"Well, let's have some tea first." Su Zimu pretended to stand up and pour water for everyone. This way, Jiang Huaizhou would no longer be able to hold on to him.

Sure enough, Jiang Huaizhou quickly let go of her hand, stood up, and grabbed the kettle first, "Let me do it, you are still injured."

Jiang Huaizhou first served tea to Su Zimu, and then added water to Chen Yu's cup across the table, but somehow, most of the water poured directly out of the cup and splashed onto Chen Yu's pants.

"Oops, sorry, my arms are short, I don't have my glasses on, and my vision isn't very good at night."

His tone was flat, and to anyone it didn't sound like he was apologizing, but rather like he was doing it on purpose.

Chen Yu looked at his pants and felt a little embarrassed. "It's okay. I'll go to the bathroom to take care of it first."

Seeing Chen Yu walking away, Su Zimu finally couldn't sit still anymore, "How did you get here?!"

"Take a car."

"I'm not asking you about your means of transportation." Su Zimu glared at him unhappily, "Do you think I would trust you to come to eat hotpot alone?"

"Come to you."

"Why are you looking for me? Is there something wrong?"

"You left without saying goodbye." He said aggrievedly.

"Jiang Huaizhou, stop pretending."

"Then I won't pretend anymore. When your deskmate comes back, I'll tell him that we're married."

"You..." Su Zimu pointed at him and then put his finger down.

"I was afraid of waking you up, wasn't I? Besides, I left you a note, and you saw it, so how can I leave without saying goodbye?"

"Then you hung up on me."

"It's you who's making a fuss over there."

"I can also take you to change the medicine, why do you want to go with him?"

"Do you care about you?"

"Su Zimu, you are in danger." Jiang Huaizhou narrowed his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You can be considered mentally cheating."

"Pah, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't forget, you are married now, what's the big deal about touching another man's muscles?"

"I touched someone's muscles..." Su Zimu suddenly realized, "You followed me?"

"How many abdominal muscles does he have?"

"You're still following me?"

"Everyone has abdominal muscles. If you want to touch them, I can let you."

"What are you touching?" Chen Yu happened to come back.

"She said you were dawdling." Jiang Huaizhou didn't even look at Su Zimu.

Su Zimu coughed and said, "Yeah, look how long you've been gone, the pot is already boiling."

"Long time?" Chen Yu was confused. "Not very long, right?"

"Don't mind it. She doesn't understand the awkwardness of that position."

Su Zimu: “…”

Chen Yu: "..."

"Waiter, cook." Jiang Huaizhou shouted to the waiter at the door.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Zimu. She shook her head at him, and they both nodded in tacit understanding.

The waiter at the door came over and asked, "What would you like to order?"

"Keep cooking the vegetables." Jiang Huaizhou pointed to the tripe on the table.

"All?" The waiter looked surprised. "This tripe is usually used for boiling."

Chen Yu dismissed the waiter, "Brother Jiang doesn't seem to eat hotpot very much?"

"I eat hotpot often, but someone always cooks it for me. I have never cooked it myself."

"Then... I'll help Brother Jiang cook it?" Chen Yu said as he was about to help him scald the tripe.

"Don't." Jiang Huaizhou glanced at Su Zimu.

After receiving the signal, Su Zimu quickly picked up a piece of tripe and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll scald it for you and you can eat yours."

After rinsing it for a few times, Su Zimu put the slightly curled tripe into Jiang Huaizhou's bowl.

After staring at the bowl for a few seconds, Jiang Huaizhou picked up the tripe with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"How is it? Not old, right? Not brittle, right?" Su Zimu looked at Jiang Huaizhou with a smile.

"good."

"When eating hotpot, you must eat tripe." Chen Yu boiled a piece of tripe and put it in Su Zimu's bowl.

"Yes, and we have to pay attention to the timing. One second more or less will not do."

"This cow is really full of treasures. Even its stomach is so delicious." Chen Yu picked up another piece of tripe and started to blanch it.

"Stomach?" Jiang Huaizhou couldn't help but take a few more glances at the raw tripe beside him, trying hard to endure the discomfort in his stomach.

"Brother Jiang, you know that tripe is the stomach of a cow, right?"

Jiang Huaizhou frowned, "Who is your brother Jiang?"

Chen Yu was not angry either. "I see that you may be older than us, so it should be okay to call you Brother Jiang, right?"

"Do I look old?"

"That's not what I meant. Don't get me wrong. It's just a respectful title."

"I have nothing to do with you, don't call me brother."

Chen Yu saw that Jiang Huaizhou seemed angry, and looked at Su Zimu for help.

"Outside, we all call each other brother and sister. They are just respectful titles." Su Zimu said casually.

Jiang Huaizhou stood up suddenly, "Su Zimu, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"
