The two of them returned home carrying large and small bags. Lu Suixin saw that Shen Muge's hat was covered with snow, so she stood on tiptoe to take off Shen Muge's hat and swept the snow off it. "Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, otherwise we would have been soaked when we came back."

Shen Muge reached out and gently brushed off the snow on Lu Suixin's shoulders. Shen Muge looked at Lu Suixin's slightly puzzled eyes and replied, "It's a courtesy to return the favor."

Shen Muge put all the bought dishes at the entrance into the kitchen. Lu Suixin stood in the living room and said, "I'll cook. I'll call you to eat when the meal is ready."

Shen Muge took out the apron that the boss at the vegetable market had just given him from the red plastic bag and put it on. It was bright red with a brand name printed on it. "I'll go with you."

Lu Suixin walked over and saw the apron on Shen Muge, and burst into laughter. Shen Muge looked at Lu Suixin expressionlessly, then took out the processed chicken from the bag and put it in the pot to blanch it, "Very funny?"

Lu Sui Xin laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She bent over slightly and said, "Teacher Shen, you know that you and this apron are not the same layer at all. Take it off and give it to me. I'll cook."

Shen Muge's face looked normal, but the tips of his ears were slightly pink. "To prevent my clothes from getting dirty."

"Then what should I do?" Lu Sui Xin clung to the door frame, looked at Shen Muge pitifully, and said jokingly: "I am wearing light-colored clothes, and yours is black. Take off your apron and let me wear it, Teacher Shen."

Shen Muge glanced at Lu Suixin calmly and said, "If you don't give it to me, find a way yourself."

Lu Suixin: "Teacher Shen, you hold a grudge."

Shen Muge answered truthfully: "Not bad."

Lu Sui Xin: ...Why do I feel like you are a bit venomous?

Lu Suixin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Then I'll help Teacher Shen prepare the dishes. I'll make a chicken soup base for grandma and a spicy hot pot."

Lu Suixin smiled and said, "I just bought a few bottles of wine, we'll drink some then."

Shen Muge: "Okay."

In fact, there is no need to cook anything else to make hot pot. You just need to prepare the side dishes. The only thing that takes some effort is the chicken soup base. Lu Suixin processed the vegetables while Shen Muge processed the meat and served them on the plates.

Lu Suixin looked at Shen Muge's method of cutting vegetables and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Teacher Shen is not only a good actor, but also has good knife skills."

Shen Muge cut the beef in his hand and said, "Your teacher Shen has more than ten years of knife skills."

Lu Sui Xin did a rough calculation in his mind and said, "So Teacher Shen started cooking for himself in elementary school? What about your family?"

Shen Muge put the thinly sliced ​​beef on a plate and said, "I started cooking when I was six. My mom was in jail and my dad didn't care about me."

"Ah?" Lu Sui Xin didn't expect that he had stepped on a landmine again, "I'm sorry."

Shen Muge: "It's okay."

The two of them brought the pot base and dishes to the table, and Lu Sui Xin went to the room to call Grandma Lu. Shen Muge took a photo while Lu Sui Xin was away and posted what he had eaten tonight on Weibo. He ignored the messages sent by his agent and others on the chat software and turned off his phone.

Grandma Lu came out, looked at the table full of dishes, and said with a smile: "Today is so rich, even richer than the Chinese New Year."

Lu Suixin teased Grandma Lu, "Grandma, if you want, we can have Chinese New Year every day."

Grandma Lu raised her hand and pretended to knock Lu Sui Xin on the head. Lu Sui Xin cooperated and covered his head and pretended to be in pain.

Shen Muge seemed to be in a good mood. He curled his lips, poured a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of Grandma Lu, saying, "Grandma, drink a bowl of chicken soup first. I'll help you blanch the vegetables."

Grandma Lu looked at Shen Muge and praised him, "Xiao Ge is really a handsome man. He is good-looking and kind-hearted."

"Grandma, what about me? What about me?" Lu Sui Xin asked mischievously.

Grandma Lu smiled and squinted her eyes and said, "Our Xin is also handsome."

After hearing this, Lu Sui Xin smiled proudly at Shen Muge.

Grandma Lu didn't eat much and was full after a while. Lu Sui Xin supervised Grandma Lu until she finished her medicine and then sent her back to her room.

Shen Muge did not move his chopsticks and kept waiting for Lu Suixin. The steam from the hot pot surrounded him, making Shen Muge feel warm all over, as if there were many more people around him.

"Is grandma asleep?" Shen Muge asked.

Lu Suixin nodded and said, "I'm asleep."

Lu Sui Xin rolled his eyes and said excitedly, "I'll bring the wine I bought over here, and we'll drink together."

Lu Suixin took two cups and mixed the drinks herself as she saw online. "I saw them say that it's not easy to get drunk this way."

Shen Muge looked at Lu Suixin's blurry face through the mist and asked, "I noticed that you were usually indifferent to them, why do you change your attitude when you get home?"

Lu Sui Xin mixed the drink and said, "Guess?" Then he placed the mixed drink in front of Shen Muge.

Shen Muge: "Split personality?"

Lu Suixin almost spit out a mouthful of wine after hearing this. Lu Suixin started coughing violently. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his backhand, but was afraid of disturbing Grandma Lu who was resting, so he covered his mouth with his hand and coughed silently.

Shen Muge felt a little guilty for a rare occasion, so he scalded a piece of tripe and put it in Lu Suixin's bowl.

"Is this your way of apologizing?" Lu Sui Xin asked, looking at the tripe in the bowl.

Shen Muge turned his head and took a sip of wine, then said, "You know, I started cooking when I was six years old."

Lu Suixin said angrily: "You are playing the victim!"

Shen Muge didn't say anything, but the curve of his mouth became bigger and bigger. Lu Suixin realized that Shen Muge was teasing him, and he became even angrier.

Seeing that he was about to get out of trouble, Shen Muge said, "I'm sorry."

The apology came so suddenly that Lu Sui Xin obviously didn't react.

Shen Muge picked up the shrimp paste and put it in Lu Suixin's bowl. Lu Suixin picked up the shrimp paste and started eating, saying, "I don't like them, so I'm too lazy to show my emotions in front of them. This is my home, the place where I relax the most. As long as grandma is here, I can always show my emotions without restraint."

Shen Muge: "Very good."

If the two of them continued chatting about this topic, they would inevitably bring up certain people, so they both ended the topic tacitly and ate quietly. The only sound in the room was the gurgling sound of the hot pot.

After dinner, Lu Suixin stayed to clean up the mess, while Shen Muge went to tidy up his clothes. Although they were not drunk, perhaps because the room was too warm, both of them were a little tipsy.

After washing up, the two returned to their respective rooms to rest. Shen Muge turned on his phone, which contained many text messages and phone calls from his agent. Shen Muge replied to one of them. The agent called immediately, "My dear, recently several big-name endorsements are waiting to sign you. Because of the last incident, they were originally set in stone, but now they are all under consideration. You are not in a hurry at all."

Shen Muge: "It doesn't matter."

Agent: "What?"

Shen Muge looked at the chandelier on the ceiling and said, "I'm a little tired. Can you let me have a good rest?"

Since Shen Muge entered the entertainment industry, he has always been a hard-working person. He has never shown his fragility. His agent softened his heart and said, "Take a good rest. I will help you with the endorsement. I will keep as many endorsements as you can."

"Thank you." Shen Muge hung up the phone and clicked on Weibo. A group of fans were comforting him, and Shen Muge felt warm in his heart.

A fan commented: Is brother having hotpot with friends at home?

Shen Muge replied: No, it’s a friend’s house.

Then Shen Muge picked a few comments to reply to, then turned off his phone and closed his eyes.

The next day, all he saw outside the window was white. Lu Sui Xin stood at the window and took a look. Perhaps because it was his first night in his new home, Lu Sui Xin still had some excitement in his body.

Lu Sui Xin opened the door and found that Shen Muge had already prepared breakfast. Grandma was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV series.

Lu Suixin took a closer look and found that this was actually a play that Shen Muge had acted in. "Grandma, are you watching Shen Muge's play?"

Grandma Lu was watching with great interest and said, "Xiao Ge is such an amazing kid. Xin, aren't you also in the entertainment industry? Let Xiao Ge guide you more when the time comes."

Lu Suixin looked at Shen Muge who was standing at the dinner table, as if asking, "What did you say to my grandma that made her a fan now?"

Shen Muge: "Come and eat, I cooked some porridge."

After hearing this, Grandma Lu said, "Xiao Ge cooked early in the morning. I've already eaten. You should go and eat now."

Lu Suixin: "Okay, I'll be there right away."

Lu Suixin quickly washed up, and before she had even wiped the water off her face, she sat down at the dining table. Shen Muge served a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Lu Suixin. Lu Suixin saw that Shen Muge also had a bowl of porridge in front of him, and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?"

Shen Muge: "Wait for you."

Lu Sui Xin suddenly felt ashamed that she got up late, "You don't have to wait for me, you can eat first if you get up early."

Shen Muge didn't say anything, and seemed to be concentrating on drinking the porridge in his bowl. Lu Suixin glanced at the heavy snow outside the window again, kicked Shen Muge with his toes under the table, and when Shen Muge looked up at him, Lu Suixin asked, "Do you want to go down with me to build a snowman?"

Shen Muge looked at the light dancing in Lu Suixin's eyes and replied, "Okay."
