Fighting over Food

Just then, the electric stove beeped, signaling that the water had finished boiling. Huo Mian immediately pushed Qin Chu aside and got up awkwardly.

"Um… the water's ready. Let's have hotpot."

"Okay."

Qin Chu's expression was filled with desire. He obviously wanted more but still listened to Huo Mian.

It was early autumn and a little chilly. The couple enjoyed a steaming meal of hot pot at home, their hearts warm with broth and each other.

Suddenly, Qin Chu's cell phone began to ring…

"What do you want?"

"I just got off work, let's go out for a drink." Gao Ran was in high spirits.

"No."

"Why not?" Gao Ran immediately became unhappy at Qin Chu's rejection.

"I already ate at home."

"Oh, so you're spending time with the wife. I haven't had dinner yet, can I bum a meal off of you guys?"

"No," Qin Chu refused decisively.
