"Which pot should go with which dip." Zhou Laichun casually said, "After following Zhou Sheng for so long while travelling so extensively, you must have learnt about what to eat and how you should eat them."

Zhou Sheng took a bottle of wine and poured some white wine for himself. He looked at Yu Hao, but Yu Hao waved his hand to indicate that he wouldn't drink. He had been starving since a while ago, so he didn't bother wasting time with Zhou Laichun and began blanching his own food to eat.

"I didn't call you during the New Year, so now you won't come find me?" Zhou Laichun said, "You're still hung up about that."

Yu Hao felt like there may be something fishy about today, but the allure of food had left him no time to think. This boss was really too awesome. This was the only meal he had ever eaten that could be better than the meals Zhou Sheng makes. Just based on the culinary skills of this restaurant's boss alone, Yu Hao sometimes really couldn't help but think about coming back to Ying City to stay long-term.

Zhou Sheng said sincerely, "Let's properly eat this meal ba, don't let down such a delicious hot pot."

Zhou Laichun lifted his cup and motioned for Zhou Sheng to clink cups. Zhou Sheng ignored him, so Zhou Laichun held his own cup and clinked it with Zhou Sheng's as a symbolic gesture.

Zhou Sheng drank. Zhou Laichun drank as well.

"In the past year, my sense of taste has deteriorated." Zhou Laichun said, "Although it hasn't deteriorated to the point where I can't taste anything, I do find everything I eat very bland. Tea all tastes bitter to me. Eating anything spicy and numbing tastes bitter to me, and even when I'm eating this hot pot, a bitter taste lingers in my mouth."

"Have you seen a doctor?" Yu Hao said, "I know someone from Union, I can get someone to make an appointment for you. Go over and take a look?"

Zhou Laichun, "......"

After a year of separation, Yu Hao actually had his own connections as well and couldn't help but feel pleased with himself.

"The Laoshi who asked you to help find the patient last time?" Zhou Sheng asked.

"Yeah." Yu Hao had done an interview at the beginning of the year. It just so happened that a patient went to Union to see a doctor and couldn't afford the medical fees, so they left halfway. The doctor-in-charge searched everywhere for the patient, so Yu Hao got Zhou Sheng to make use of his inference skills to find that person at the railway station.

Zhou Laichun said, "Even Union wouldn't be able to treat it, I think."

"See a doctor if you're ill." Yu Hao said, "Don't hide your sickness for fear of treatment."

Zhou Laichun was at a loss for words because of Yu Hao again. He thought about it for a bit, then said, "Your Aunt Xiao Qin found a doctor for me; I'll treat it in Ying City first ba."

Zhou Sheng took some carp for Yu Hao, and Yu Hao was eating it. He casually said, "Oh."

However, Zhou Laichun's 'your Aunt Xiao Qin' had revealed some important information. Yu Hao knew that this meant that Zhou Laichun had acknowledged him in a certain sense, so they shouldn't be quarrelling today.

"How are you doing in Beijing?" Zhou Laichun asked again.

Yu Hao felt like Zhou Laichun's temper today was the best it has ever been since their first meeting.

"It's okay." Zhou Sheng was calm as well. Yu Hao began suspecting that Zhou Laichun may throw a huge bomb at them later, but what else does he have to threaten them with?
